DEVICE FOR MEASURING THICKNESS OF SHEET MATERIAL Russian patent published in 2018 - IPC G07D7/16 

FIELD: measuring equipment.

SUBSTANCE: device for measuring the thickness of a sheet material, in particular a device for measuring the thickness of a sheet valuable document in a financial self-service equipment, contains support frame (101), reference shaft (104) and shaft (105) of a measuring component. Master roll (1041) is fixedly put on reference shaft (104). Distance from shaft (105) of the measuring component to reference shaft (104) is relatively fixed. Measuring roller (116) is put on shaft (105) of the measuring component through sleeve (107). Elongated hole (1071) is formed in sleeve (107) to insert shaft (105) of the measuring component therein. Between one end of elongated hole (1071) and shaft (105) of the measuring component, there is elastic element (109). Elastic element (109) exerts a force on sleeve (107) directed to reference shaft (104) so that measuring roller (116) can be resiliently contacted to master roll (1041). Distance sensor is located on one side of measuring roller (116) remote from master roll (1041), and the distance sensor is fixedly mounted on support frame 101 and faces directly to measuring roller (116).

EFFECT: device for measuring the thickness of the sheet material is provided.
