Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP5242205
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
According to one aspect of the invention, there is provided a metal disk discrimination apparatus including: two magnetic sensors configured to sandwich a target metal disk, the magnetic sensor including: a core having: leg portions exhibiting opposite magnetic polarities, the leg portion having an end face facing the target metal disk, and a connection portion magnetically connecting the leg portions; and coils respectively wound on the leg portions; an oscillation circuit that passes an alternating current through the coil; and a signal processing unit that determines a shape of the target metal disk by comparing an output signal of the magnetic sensors with a reference value, the output signal corresponding to a change in impedance of the coils. A radius of curvature of the end face in a part adjacent to another end face is not larger than a radius of the target metal disk.
