2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a coin processing machine, for example, a configuration described in Japanese Patent No. 2771960 is known.

[0003] In such a coin processing machine, a deposit coin to be fed into a coin receiving section is received by a deposit coin depositing and dispensing section of a deposit transport system, and is fed out from the deposit coin depositing and dispensing section in a one-layer, one-row state. The coins are sent one by one to the discriminating unit, and based on the result of the discrimination by the discriminating unit, the deposited regular coins are temporarily stored in the deposited regular coin temporary storing unit, and the rejected coins are returned to the coin receiving unit to be operated by the operator (teller or customer). After the temporary hold of the deposited regular coins and the return of the deposit rejected coins are completed for all the deposited deposit remittance coins, it is possible to approve the deposit or reject the deposit. While storing,
Based on the payment rejection command, the deposited regular coin is returned to the coin receiving section as a deposit return coin so that the coin can be taken out by the operator.

When the deposit reject coin is returned to the coin receiving section, the operator removes the deposit reject coin, re-inserts it into the coin receiving section, and identifies the returned deposit reject coin as a regular deposit coin. It is possible to give the opportunity again. Usually, coins are often judged to be rejected coins due to abnormal approach between coins or the like, and there is a high possibility that coins will be identified as deposited regular coins in the second insertion.

[0005]

However, in the conventional coin processing machine, when a deposit reject coin is identified,
In order to return the deposit reject coin to the operator side so that it can be taken out, in order to re-identify the returned deposit reject coin, the operator needs to take out the returned deposit reject coin and insert it again There is a problem.

[0006] Further, there is a case where a residue remains in the deposited coin storage and dispensing section of the deposit transfer system. If the rejected coin is fed again in such a state, the dispensing of the deposited coin storage and dispensing section occurs. Or clogging may be worsened.

The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and can automatically re-discriminate a deposit reject coin in consideration of the presence or absence of a residue in a deposit coin depositing / dispensing section, and can deposit and deposit deposit coins. It is an object of the present invention to provide a coin processing machine capable of preventing a feeding jam in a section.

Three sorting holes 28 for sorting coins based on diameter difference in the order of coins of 0 yen are formed, and a passage detection sensor 85 for detecting passage of coins is disposed upstream of each sorting hole 28. ing.

Next, in FIG. 5, only a part of the control structure of the coin depositing and dispensing machine related to the deposit processing will be described.

The control section 91 receives signals from the identification section 25 and the residual detection sensors 59, 64, 65, etc., and controls the shutter 13, the deposit transfer system 29, the dispensing means 49, the receiving member drive mechanism 92, and the like. I do.

Then, the controller 91 controls the residual detection sensor 64,
When no residual is detected in the storage and delivery section 16 by the
In the closed state, the deposit reject coin in the deposit reject coin temporary holding section 48 is sent to the storage and dispensing section 16 and sent to the identification section 25 to be re-identified, and the coin identified as the deposit regular coin by this re-identification is deposited in the deposit regular coin temporary. The denomination temporary storage unit 32 or the batch temporary storage unit 37 of the storage unit is temporarily held, and all the re-identified coins are identified as deposited regular coins, and the denomination temporary storage unit 32 or the batch temporary storage unit of the deposited normal coin temporary storage unit is held. In the case where the deposit is temporarily held at 37, a command to approve the deposit and a disapproval of the deposit can be issued, and when the residual detecting unit 64 or 65 detects the presence of the residual in the storage and delivery unit 16, the reject of the coin is temporarily rejected by the temporary reserving unit 48 for the coin. By sending the coins to the storage and dispensing unit 16 and opening the shutter 13 to remove the residue and the deposit reject coin from the storage and dispensing unit 16,
It has a function of enabling payment approval and payment rejection commands based on the detection of no residual by the residual detection sensors 64 and 65 due to the removal. In addition, the receiving member 53 at the first rotation position
The return coins stored in the coin storage unit 55 of the
The coin is ejected from the coin outlet 15 to the coin receiving / paying space 51 in the coin storage unit 55 of the receiving member 53 at the first rotation position. Has the function of being able to be taken out by opening the shutter 13.

Next, the operation of the first embodiment will be described.

This coin depositing and dispensing machine is available for 1 yen, 5 yen,
Coins of six denominations of 10 yen, 50 yen, 100 yen and 500 yen can be deposited and 1 yen, 10 yen and 10 yen
This allows three coins of 0 yen to be dispensed. For 1-, 10-, and 100-yen coins, deposited coins are recycled for withdrawal coins.
Yen coins are not recycled.

First, in the standby state, denomination coins for dispensing are stored in advance in each denomination coin storage unit 33, and the replenishment cassette 34 is also in one-to-one correspondence with each denomination coin storage unit 33. Replenishment coins are stored. In addition, each denomination coin storage unit 33 is formed with a denomination replenishment coin storage unit for directly feeding and replenishing coins one by one to each denomination coin storage unit 33 in a one-to-one correspondence. A replenishment coin is stored in the machine body 11 by storing replenishment coins by denomination in a denomination-specific replenishment coin storage unit.

The shutter 13 of the coin depositing / dispensing section 14 is closed,
The receiving member 53 is at the home position shown in FIG.

Each of the movable bottom plates 76 of the first and second reject mechanisms 26 and 27 is at a normal position allowing coins to pass therethrough.
The denomination-specific temporary holding unit 32 is at a holding position, and the flapper 38 is at a position where the front end of the pay-out conveyance belt 36 is closed.

The bucket 41 of the bucket transport mechanism 39 is at the lower standby position, and the sorting member 44 is at the first sorting position for guiding coins to the first collecting passage 42 leading to the collective collecting section 46 of the collecting cassette 45. .

Next, the deposit processing will be described.

When the operator presses the deposit start button and issues a deposit start command, the shutter 13 of the coin depositing and dispensing section 14
Is released and coins can be inserted. The receiving member 53 is in the second rotation position of the home position (shown in FIG. 4 (a)), and the coins inserted into the coin depositing / dispensing unit 14 by the operator are transferred onto the payout belt 17 of the storage / delivery unit 16 or the like. The coin is placed on the coin guide surface 58 of the receiving member 53. A guide surface 52 formed of a curved surface is formed on the inner wall surface of the coin depositing / dispensing unit 14, and the coin is guided downward without sticking.

When the loading operation is completed, the shutter 13 is closed, and the deposit transfer system 29 is driven. In the storing and feeding section 16, a feeding belt 17 and a reverse roller 18 are driven, and coins (deposited coins) are fed one by one into the coin passage 21 while being regulated in one layer and one row by the feeding belt 17 and the reverse roller 18. The coin path 21 is moved by the first transport belt 74.
Is transported inside. In the identification passage portion 22 of the coin passage 21, the authenticity and the denomination of the coin are identified by the identification portion 25. At this time, the receiving member 53 is gradually rotated clockwise from the rotation position in FIG.
It is turned to the turning position shown in FIG. 4C through the turning position shown in FIG.
The coin is prevented from being put on the coin guide surface 58.

As a result of the discrimination by the discriminating section 25, when it is determined that the coin is a rejected coin (a counterfeit coin or an unidentifiable coin), the movable bottom plate 76 of the first reject mechanism 26 of the reject passage section 23 is moved to the open position. The coin rejected coin, which is not supported by the movable bottom plate 76, falls into the coin discharge hole 75, is guided by the chute 30, and is fed into the cylindrical guide member 40 of the bucket transport mechanism 39. At this time, the bucket
41 is in the lower standby position, and the deposit reject coin is temporarily stored on the bucket 41, that is, in the deposit reject coin temporary storage unit 48.

As a result of the identification by the identification unit 25, if it is determined that the coins are 5, 5, and 500 yen coins (regular deposit coins), the second reject mechanism 27 of the reject passage unit 23
The movable bottom plate 76 moves to the open position, and the 5-, 50-, and 500-yen coins that are not supported by the movable bottom plate 76 fall into the coin discharge hole 75 and are guided by the chute 31 to It is temporarily held in the batch temporary holding unit 37. At this time, the dispensing conveyance belt 36 is stopped, and the dispensing conveyance belt is stopped.
Since the exit side of 36 is closed by the flapper 38, coins do not fall into the cylindrical guide member 40.

As a result of the discrimination by the discriminating unit 25, if it is determined that the coin is a 1, 10, or 100 yen coin (a deposit regular coin), the coin is sent through the reject passage 23 to the sorting passage 24, and It falls into the sorting hole 28, and is temporarily stored in the denomination temporary storage unit 32 in a stacked state. However, when the number of reserved coins in the temporary storage unit 32 exceeds
Is full, is discharged from the second reject mechanism 27, and is temporarily stored in the collective temporary storage section 37 on the dispensing conveyance belt 36. The driving of the second reject mechanism 27 is performed based on the stored value of the number of coins stored in each denomination coin storage unit 33 and the stored value of the temporarily reserved number temporarily stored in the denomination temporary storage unit 32. .

Then, at the time of processing the coins to be paid in,
The discrimination unit 25 does not continuously detect the deposited coins for a predetermined time or more, and the residual detection sensors 64 and 65 of the storage and delivery unit 16.
However, if no coin or residue is detected, the driving of the deposit transfer system 29 is stopped, and further, if there is no deposit reject coin, at this point, it is possible for the operator to accept a deposit approval or a deposit non-approval. . However, if a coin jam is detected on the coin passage 21, the mechanism is mechanically lowered.

When the deposit approval command is issued by the operator, the coins temporarily stored in the denomination temporary storage unit 32 are:
The coins are stored by denomination in the coin storage unit 33 below. The coins (5 yen,
50-yen, 500-yen coins, and overflow coins, that is, 1-yen, 10-yen, and 100-yen coins that exceed the temporary holding capacity or that the coin-type coin storage unit 33 is full when it is full.
After the bucket 41 of the bucket transport mechanism 39 is moved to the upper standby position, the flapper 38 is opened and the dispensing transport belt 36 is driven, so that the cylindrical guide member 40
Into the collection cassette 45 through the distribution member 44.
Is collected by the collective collection unit 46 of

In the case where the payment is rejected by the operator, the temporarily stored coins in the denomination-specific temporary storage section 32 are discharged onto the dispensing transport belt 36, and the coins temporarily stored in the collective temporary storage section 37 are Be together. The deposited coins returned on the dispensing and conveying belt 36 are fed into the cylindrical guide member 40 and received on the bucket 41 by opening the flapper 38 and driving the dispensing and conveying belt 36. After all the deposit-returned coins are fed into the cylindrical guide member 40 (when the dispensing transport belt 36 is driven for a predetermined time, the absence of coins is detected on the dispensing transport belt 36 by a sensor not shown). Accordingly, the bucket 41 is moved to the upper standby position, and is paid out from the coin outlet 15 to the coin depositing / dispensing unit 14. At this time, the receiving member 53 is in the first rotation position (FIG. 4).
(the position (c)) and stopped (at the time of the deposit return command, the receiving member 53 is turned from the home position (FIG. 4 (a)) to the first turning position and stopped), and is paid out. The received return coin is received by the coin storage unit 55 of the receiving member 53.

After the bucket 37 moves to the lower standby position,
The shutter 13 of the coin depositing / dispensing unit 14 is opened. When the operator removes all the deposit-returned coins in the coin storage unit 55 and the coins are no longer detected by the residual detection sensor 59 of the coin storage unit 55, the shutter 13 is closed and the transaction is completed. If a coin has been detected by the residual detection sensor 59 even after the predetermined time has elapsed, it is determined that the deposit-returned coin has been forgotten (remaining), and in this case also, the shutter is released.
13 is closed.

When the shutter 13 is closed, the receiving member 53 is moved from the first rotation position (the position shown in FIG. 4C) toward the second rotation position (the position shown in FIG. 4A). Rotation is started in the clockwise direction. During the rotation process, the forgotten coins in the coin storage unit 55 are discharged downward, and are collected by the forgotten collection unit 20 through the collection chute 19. The receiving member 53 returns to the home position (the position shown in FIG. 4A) via the rotation position shown in FIG. 4B and stops.

Further, during the processing of the deposited coins, the discrimination unit 25 does not continuously detect the deposited coins for a predetermined time or more, and the residual detection sensors 64 and 65 of the storage and dispensing unit 16 detect the coins and residual coins. If no object is detected, the drive of the deposit transport system 29 is stopped, and if there is a deposit reject coin, at this point, the operator does not yet accept a deposit approval or a deposit rejection, and re-identifies the reject coin. Processing is performed.

In the re-identification process of the rejected coins, when the receiving member 53 is located at the second rotation position (the position shown in FIG. 4A) as a fixed position, all of the received coins are properly received. Coin temporary storage unit (deposit type temporary storage unit 32 or batch temporary storage unit 37) or deposit reject coin temporary storage unit 48
The bucket 41 is moved from the lower standby position to the upper standby position at the stage of being temporarily held, and the rejected coins temporarily held in the bucket 41 are discharged from the coin outlet 15 to the coin receiving / dispensing section 14 and stored. It is sent to the feeding section 16. Thereafter, the bucket 41 moves to the descent standby position and stops. After the deposit reject coin is discharged to the coin depositing / dispensing section 14, the receiving member 53 is moved from the second pivot position (the position in FIG. 4A) to the first pivot position (the position in FIG. 4C). Is rotated clockwise, so that the deposit reject coin is reliably fed into the storage and delivery unit 16. At this time, the deposit transfer system 29 is driven again, and the deposit reject coin is fed out from the storage and dispensing section 16 to the coin path 21 in one layer and one row, and the identification path section 22 of the coin path 21 is moved.
Is re-identified by the identification unit 25. First rotation position (FIG. 4)
The receiving member 53 rotated to the position (c) is rotated counterclockwise to return to the home position (the position in FIG. 4A).

As a result of the re-identification, if it is determined that the received coin is a regular deposited coin, the deposited regular coin is also temporarily retained in the denomination-specific temporary retaining unit 32 or the collective temporary retaining unit on the dispensing transport belt 36. In addition, all subsequent re-identified coins are also determined to be deposit regular coins, and when they are temporarily suspended, it is possible to receive a deposit approval or deposit rejection at this point, and as with the case where there is no deposit reject coin described above, Processing by payment approval or payment rejection is executed.

[0086] Of the coins to be re-identified, the rejected coin determined to be a rejected coin as a result of re-identification is provided by the first reject mechanism 26 and the chute.
Through 30, it is sent to a bucket 41 located at a standby position below the bucket transport mechanism 39 and is temporarily held. Further, as a result of the re-identification, the coin determined to be a deposited normal coin is added to the coins temporarily stored in the denomination-specific temporary storage unit 32 or the collective temporary storage unit on the dispensing transport belt 36 as described above and together with the coins. Will be suspended. Then, at the point in time when all the deposited coins have been temporarily held (the discrimination unit 25 does not continuously detect the deposited coins for a predetermined time or more, and the residual detection sensors 64, 65 of the storage and dispensing unit 16 are also not used). When no coin or residue is detected), the bucket 41 is moved from the lower standby position to the upper standby position, and is discharged from the coin discharge port 15 to the coin depositing / dispensing section 14. At this time, the receiving member 53 is in the fixed position (FIG. 4A).

The operator takes out the coin reject coin on the coin guide surface 58 of the receiving member 53 or the pay-out belt 17 of the storing / feeding unit 16, and if the coins are not detected by the residual detection sensors 64 and 65, the shutter 13 is closed. You. At this point, acceptance of payment approval or payment rejection can be accepted. Note that, even if the deposit reject coin is not taken out and the coin is detected by the residual detection sensor 59 even after a predetermined time has elapsed, the shutter 13 is closed, the mechanism is lowered, and the administrator is notified.

After taking out the deposit reject coin, the shutter 13 is closed after a predetermined time has elapsed, and coins can be additionally inserted while the shutter 13 is open. In other words, coins can be additionally inserted on condition that the remaining detection sensors 64 and 65 detect no residual when the deposit reject coin is removed. At the time of additional insertion, as described above, the newly inserted coin is identified, and the coin determined to be a deposited normal coin is temporarily stored in the denomination temporary storage unit 32 or the collective temporary storage unit 37 of the deposited normal coin temporary storage unit. In addition, coins determined to be rejected coins are re-identified. If all of the re-identified coins are deposit regular coins, they can be deposited and accepted or rejected when all of them are temporarily held. In addition, when there are deposit reject coins in the re-identified coins, when all the re-identified coins are temporarily reserved, the bucket 41 for temporarily storing the deposit reject coin is moved from the lower standby position to the upper standby position and rejected. The coin is discharged from the coin discharge port 15 to the coin depositing / dispensing section 14, and thereafter, the bucket 41 waits at the lower standby position. At this time, the receiving member 53 is located at the home position (the position shown in FIG. 4A), and the paid-out rejected coin is placed on the coin guide surface 58 of the receiving member 53 or on the feeding belt 17 of the storage feeding unit 16.

First, the normal deposit processing will be described. At this time, the collection box 168 is in the mounted state, and the mounting detection switch 172 is on. Therefore, the shutter 178 of the temporary storage unit 176 is in the open state, and the switching plate 175 is brought into the inclined posture, that is, the posture in which coins are sent to the coin transport conveyor 160 through the chute 174 by the deposit instruction operation described below.

The shutter 103 on the upper surface of the deposit / dispense port 102 is automatically opened based on the deposit command operation of the operator, and the operator inserts the deposited coin into the coin receiving section 104 from the deposit / dispense port 102.
Upon detecting the insertion of the coin, the shutter 103 is automatically closed, and immediately thereafter, the coin receiving portion 104 is rotated from the receiving position to the discharging position, and the coins in the coin receiving portion 104 are stored and fed out.
Released to 111. After the ejection, the coin receiving section 104 is returned from the ejection position to the receiving position. And the storage and delivery unit 111
The coins stored in the rotary disc 112 are fed into the coin passage 115 at intervals by a projection 114 projecting from the peripheral edge of the rotary disc 112 at predetermined intervals.

The coins fed to the coin passage 115 are fed one by one between the projections 139 of the coin conveyance belt 140 of the conveyance means 138, and the coin formed by the coin conveyance belt 140 is formed on the lower edge of the coin passage plate 136. The paper is conveyed along the edge 137 to the identification passage 132 and the sorting passage 133. The coin conveyed through the coin passage 115 has a coin conveyance speed of the coin conveyance belt 140 which is slightly higher than a coin conveyance speed of the coin fed by the rotating disk 112, so that the coin 139 is formed on the protrusion 139 formed by the coin conveyance belt 140. Coin passage plate in a state in which the coins are spaced one by one (there is one coin between each projection 139).
It is transported while being pressed against 136.

The coins conveyed through the discrimination passage 132 are discriminated by the discrimination unit 143, and the discriminated coins are conveyed to the classification unit 144 of the selection passage 133. As a result of the identification, the deposit remittance coin identified as a deposit regular coin is placed in the identification section.
Along the inner surface of each switching plate 148 opened according to the type of coin based on the signal determined at 143, one yen, five yen, one yen,
0, 50, 100 and 500 yen coin sorting holes 145
Are classified by denomination and dropped. When the coins stacked and stored in the storage cylinder portion 156 of the denomination coin storage and dispensing section 155 are full, or when the denomination temporary storage section 153 is full, the coin of the denomination is switched. The plate 148 is dropped into the sorting hole 147 opened by switching. The coins dropped in the sorting holes 145 are guided to the chutes 151 and are temporarily stored in the temporary holding unit 153 for each denomination in a state of being piled up.
4. The coins are discharged onto the coin transport conveyor 160 through the switching plate 175 and the chute 177, and are temporarily stored collectively.

As a result of the discrimination, the coin identified as a rejected coin is conveyed to the end of the return passage 135 of the coin passage 115, disengages from the coin transport belt 140 near the end of the return passage 135, and has a guide edge 137. To return to the coin receiving unit 104 after rolling under its own weight.

[0143] Then, when processing the deposit remittance coin,
The discrimination unit 143 does not continuously detect the coin to be remitted for a predetermined time or more, the sensor 109 of the coin receiving unit 104 detects that the coin is absent, and the remaining detection sensor 116 of the storage and dispensing unit 111
, 117, if no residue is detected, the deposit transfer system 162
Is stopped, and if there is no deposit reject coin, at this point, it is possible for the operator to accept a deposit approval or a deposit rejection. Note that the above-mentioned predetermined time is a time sufficient for the coins passing through the identification unit 143 to be sent to the temporary holding unit 153 of the deposited normal coin temporary holding unit, the coin transport conveyor 160, or the coin receiving unit 104. Further, even when the sensors 116 and 117 do not detect the residual, the switching plate
The open / close body 123 is opened under the vertical state of 1 to indicate the certainty of the residue collection. At this time, the lifting bucket device
126 does not work. However, if a coin jam is detected on the coin passage 115, the mechanism is mechanically lowered.

When the payment approval operation is performed by the operator, the coins held in the respective temporary holding units 153 are retreated by the withdrawal plate 157 and the support members 158 are lowered, so that the withdrawn coin storage / ejection unit.
The overflowing coins on the coin conveyor 160 are driven by the coin conveyor 160 (to the right in FIG. 6) to collect the return bins 16 in the storage cylinder portion 156.
Emitted to 8

When the operator performs a payment disapproval operation, the temporary holding frame 154 is moved rightward in FIG. 12 to move the coins temporarily stored in the temporary holding section 153 to the coin transport conveyor 16.
Release to 0. The coins discharged from the temporary holding section 153 together with the overflow coins held on the coin transport conveyor 160 are stored in the storage and delivery section 11 by driving the coin transport conveyor 160.
1 and is fed out from the storage and delivery unit 111,
The coin is conveyed through the coin passage 115, returned from the end of the return passage 135 to the coin receiving portion 104 at the receiving position, and the shutter 103 is opened. The operator removes all the deposit-returned coins in the coin receiving unit 104, and detects the residual detection sensor 109 of the coin receiving unit 104.
If the coin is no longer detected, the shutter 103 is closed and the transaction is completed.

If a coin is detected by the residual detection sensor 109 even after a predetermined time has elapsed, it is determined that the deposit-returned coin has been forgotten (remaining). in this case,
The shutter 103 is closed, the coin receiving unit 104 is rotated from the receiving position to the discharging position, and the coins that have been forgotten are stored in the storing and feeding unit 111,
It is collected in the storage section 170 of the collection box 168 through the opened return port 122 of the opening / closing body 123, the collection chute 125, and the switching plate 171.

Further, during the processing of the deposited coin, the discrimination unit 143 does not continuously detect the deposited coin for a predetermined time or more, and the residual detecting sensors 116 and 117 of the storage and dispensing unit 111 detect the coin. If no deposit or residue is detected, the driving of the deposit transfer system 162 is stopped, and furthermore, if there is a deposit reject coin in the coin receiving unit 104, at this point, the deposit approval or disapproval of the deposit by the operator has not yet been made. The rejected coin is not accepted and re-identification processing is performed.

In the re-identification process of rejected coins, the rejected coins in the coin receiving unit 104 are fed out to the coin passage 115 via the storing and feeding unit 111 and the identifying unit 143 in the same manner as in the above-described processing of the deposit sending coin. Will be re-identified.

As a result of the re-identification, when it is determined that the received coin is a regular deposited coin, the deposited regular coin is also temporarily retained on the temporary storage unit 153 or the coin transport conveyor 160. Similarly, when all the subsequent re-identified coins are determined to be deposit regular coins and are temporarily held on the temporary holding unit 153 or the coin transport conveyor 160, it is possible at this point to receive a payment approval or a payment rejection. In the same manner as when there is no received reject coin, processing is executed based on payment approval or payment rejection.

A case will be described in which only rejected coins are found, or a case where there are regular deposited coins and rejected coins, as a result of re-identification. If it is determined that the re-identified coin is a deposited normal coin, it is temporarily stored on the temporary storage unit 153 or the coin transport conveyor 160 as described above. When the re-identified coin is determined to be a deposit reject coin, the coin is returned to the coin receiving unit 104 again. All re-identified coins are stored in the temporary holding unit 153 or the coin transport conveyor 160.
The shutter 103 is opened (when there is a deposited normal coin in the re-identified coin) and when the coin has been sent to the coin receiving unit 104. When the operator removes the deposit reject coin from the coin receiving unit 104 and the coin is no longer detected by the residual detection sensor 109 of the coin receiving unit 104, the shutter 103 is closed. At this point, acceptance of payment approval or payment rejection can be accepted, and processing by payment approval or payment rejection is executed. Note that, even if the deposit reject coin is not removed and the coin is detected by the residual detection sensor 109 even after a predetermined time has elapsed, the shutter 103 is closed, the mechanism is lowered, and the administrator is notified.

Further, during processing of the deposited coin, the discrimination unit 143 does not continuously detect the deposited coin for a predetermined time or more, but the residual detecting sensor 116,
If a residue is detected at 117 and there is no deposit reject coin, the driving of the deposit transport system 162 is stopped and the operation of returning the residue is started.

In the operation of returning the residue, the residue (remaining coins or remaining foreign matter) remaining in the storage and dispensing section 111 is transferred to the hopper.
The opening / closing body 123 at the lower end of the opening 113 is opened to be discharged from the return port 122, and is also received by the bucket 127 of the lifting / lowering bucket device 126 through the collection chute 125, and the bucket 127 is lifted and discharged onto the return conveyor belt 130. ,
The return conveyor belt 130 returns the coin to the coin receiving unit 104, and the shutter 103 is opened. Then, the operator returns the residue returned to the coin receiving unit 104 to the coin receiving unit 10.
When the residue is no longer detected by the residue detection sensor 109 of No. 4, the shutter 103 is closed.

When the residue is taken out and the shutter 103 is closed, it is possible to accept payment approval or payment non-approval, and the above-described processing based on the payment approval or payment non-approval is executed.

If the residue is not taken out even after the lapse of a predetermined time, and the residue is detected by the residue detection sensor 109 of the coin receiving unit 104, after the shutter 103 is closed, the above-mentioned coin which has been left behind is removed. Similarly to the collection of the coin, the residue in the coin receiving section 104 is collected in the storage section 170 of the collection box 168 through the storage and dispensing section 111, the collection chute 125, and the switching plate 171 and is mechanically down and notified to the administrator.

In the processing of the deposited coins, the discrimination unit 143 does not detect the deposited coins continuously for a predetermined time or more.
If a residue is detected at 116 and 117 and there is a deposit reject coin, the driving of the deposit transport system 162 is stopped, and the storage and delivery section is operated in the same manner as the above-described return operation of the residue. The residue of 111 is conveyed to the coin receiving unit 104, is combined with the rejected coin, and the shutter 103 is opened.

When the operator removes the deposit reject coin and the residue in the coin receiving unit 104 and the deposit detection sensor 109 of the coin receiving unit 104 does not detect the deposit reject coin or the residue, the shutter 103 is closed. You. Shutter 10
When 3 is closed, it becomes possible to receive a payment approval or a payment rejection, and the above-described processing based on the payment approval or the payment rejection is executed.

[0157] Even if a predetermined time has elapsed, the residue and the deposit reject coin are not taken out, and if the deposit detection reject coin or the residue is detected by the residue detection sensor 109 of the coin receiving unit 104, the shutter 103 is rejected. After the closure, it is collected in the storage section 170 of the collection box 168 or mechanically lowered.

Next, the deposit processing when the collection box 168 is not mounted will be described.

When the collection box 168 is not mounted, the mounting detection switch 172 is off, and therefore, the shutter 178 of the temporary storage section 176 is in a closed state, and the switching plate 175 is inclined by a deposit command operation. .

[0160] The same operation as the normal depositing process is performed for the depositing process until the deposited coins are temporarily held and the process until the temporarily deposited coins are returned (the temporary storage unit 176).
Even if the shutter 178 is closed, the flow of coins is not affected), and the processing at the time of payment approval is different from the normal payment processing.

When the operator instructs the deposit approval operation, the switch plate 175 is set to the vertical position by the signal, and the coin transport conveyor 160 is driven leftward in FIG. for that reason,
The overflow coins temporarily held on the coin conveyor 160 are stored in the storage and dispensing section 111, the coin passage 115, and the sorting hole.
147, through the chute 174, the shutter 178 at the bottom is temporarily stored in the closed temporary storage section 176.

In this way, it is possible to continue the deposit processing operation for some transactions. Normally, the collection box 168 is mounted during that time.
When the 172 is turned on, the shutter 178 at the bottom of the temporary storage
Is released, and the coins in the temporary storage section 176 are released to the collection box 168 and stored. Even if the collection box 168 is attached during the payment processing, the collection box 168 is not installed until the payment processing is completed.
The payment processing when no payment is made is continued, and when the payment processing is completed, the processing is returned to the normal payment processing.

Also, in the middle of the deposit processing operation (actually, during the storing of coins in the temporary storage section 176 at the time of payment approval), the full storage sensor 179 may detect that the temporary storage section 176 is full. In this case, since the full detection level is set at a level that allows for one payment processing amount, the subsequent payment processing is prohibited when the payment processing is completed. Then, when the collection box 168 is mounted, the coins in the temporary storage section 176 are stored in the collection box 168, the fullness detection is released, and the deposit processing becomes possible.

Next, the dispensing process will be described.

The coins stacked and stored in the storage cylinder portion 156 of the dispensed coin storing and dispensing section 155 are dispensed based on the input of the dispensed money value (amount or denomination and the number of sheets) and the dispensing operation command by the operator. The coins are discharged onto the coin conveyor 160 at the delivery plate 157. The coin transport conveyor 160 is driven in a state where the dispensing of the coin of the dispensed money value is completed. Dispensed coins are sent to the coin conveyor 16
Driven by 0, it is carried out to the storage and delivery section 111,
Is fed out to the coin passage 115, and is identified by the identification unit 143. By the identification, the denomination and the number of coins dispensed from the dispensed coin storage / ejection unit 155 are collated with the denomination and the number of coins constituting the designated dispensed money value, and the dispensed regular coin is passed through the coin passage 115. From the end of the coin receiving section 104. Then, after a predetermined time has elapsed from the end of the dispensing operation of the dispensed coins (after a predetermined time when all the dispensed coins are sent to the coin receiving unit 104), the denominated money and the number of coins specified are determined. The shutter 103 on the upper surface of the coin receiving unit 104 is opened on condition that the denomination and the number of coins match, so that the dispensed coins can be taken out.

The abnormal coin identified as abnormal by the identification section 143 is dropped from the sorting hole 146 and stored in the first storage section 165 of the reject coin storage box 164 through the chute 152. Then, the coins of the denomination collected as abnormal coins are dispensed again from the dispensing coin storing and dispensing section 155, the denomination and the number of coins are confirmed by the identification section 143, sent out to the coin receiving section 104, and denominated. The shutter 103 on the upper surface of the coin receiving unit 104 is opened on condition that the number of coins matches the desired withdrawal value.

[0167] After the dispensed coin is taken out, the shutter 103 on the upper surface of the coin receiving portion 104 is closed at a predetermined time to return to the standby state.

Note that a predetermined time has elapsed after all the dispensed coins have been sent to the coin receiving unit 104 and the shutter 103 has been opened (actually, a predetermined time has elapsed after the desired dispensing value matches the dispensed value). If the dispensed coin is not taken out, the dispensed coin is transferred from the coin receiving unit 104 to the storage unit 17 of the collection box 168 through the storage and dispensing unit 111, the collection chute 26, and the switching plate 171.
Collected to 0.

Next, coin replenishment processing will be described.

[0170] Each storage cylinder 156 of the dispensing coin storage and dispensing section 155
When the number of coins in any one of the storage cylinder portions 156 is reduced below a predetermined amount, the storage cylinder portion 156 of the coin replenishment cassette 181 mounted on the body 101 (or mounted as necessary) is replaced with the reduced storage cylinder portion 156. One replacement coin storage unit 182 of the corresponding denomination
Shutter 183 is opened and its refill coin storage unit 18 is opened.
The replenishment coins stored in 2 are discharged at once, guided by a chute (not shown), and supplied onto the coin transport conveyor 160. The coins supplied to the coin transport conveyor 160 are discharged to the storage and dispensing unit 111 by driving of the coin transport conveyor 160, are discharged from the storage and dispensing unit 111 to the coin passage 115, are identified by the identification unit 143, and are selected by the corresponding sorting unit. The storage tube portion 156 in which the number of coins has decreased from the hole 145 through the chute 151
Will be refilled and stored. At this time, the ejection plate 157 is retracted, and the coins are stored in the storage tube portion 156 without being temporarily stored in the temporary storage frame 154. The coin identified as an abnormal coin by the identification unit 143 is dropped from the sorting hole 146,
Are stored in the second storage section 166 of the reject coin storage box 164.

When replenishing coins of a denomination provided with a plurality of replenishment coin storage units 182 for storing coins of the same denomination in the coin replenishment cassette 181, the coins are discharged in a preset order.

In the coin replenishment from the coin replenishment cassette 181, the amount of coins stored in the storage cylinder 156 is added to the already stored amount of coins, and the amount is managed as in the case of the deposit processing. . Note that the coins stored in the second storage section 166 of the reject coin storage box 164 are not added and stored as coins replenished in the machine. Therefore, abnormal coins at the time of replenishment are inserted into the machine. The abnormal coins stored at the time of dispensing are stored as separate coins in a second storage section 166 different from the first storage section 165 for storing abnormal coins at the time of dispensing.

When the replenishment coin storage unit 182 of the denomination to be replenished in the coin replenishment cassette 181 is empty (when all the replenishment coin storage units 182 of the same denomination are plural), coin replenishment is performed. Loading the coin by pulling out the cassette 181
Although it takes time to mount the coin replenishment cassette 181, emergency replenishment can be performed for emergency use and inquiry. This is accomplished by unlocking the frame member 190 of the coin replenishment cassette 181 and swinging it open, and inserting denomination coins to be replenished (when a plurality of denominations are required, a mixed state of a plurality of denominations). Is discharged to the coin transport conveyor 160 through the chute 191 and the coin transport conveyor 160 outputs
1. The coin is stored in the storage cylinder 156 of the corresponding denomination through the coin passage 115. In this case as well, abnormal coins are stored in the second storage section 166 of the reject coin storage box 164.

The replenishment process in the middle of the deposit and withdrawal process has been described above. The initial replenishment process at the start of business is also performed in the same manner. In this case, all the storage cylinder portions 156 are empty, and the storage amount of one of the replenishment coin storage portions 182 of the coin replenishment cassette 181 is determined to be the amount corresponding to one of the replenishment coins of the storage cylinder portion 156. ing. Then, coins are supplied from one replenishment coin storage unit 182 of a denomination corresponding to the denomination of the storage cylinder portion 156,
The storage tube section 15 corresponding through the coin passage 115 and the sorting hole 145
Then, the coins in the refill coin storage unit 182 corresponding to the denomination are refilled into another storage cylinder 156, and the above operation is repeated to replenish all the coins. The abnormal coin generated in the middle is stored in the second storage section 166 of the reject coin storage box 164.

In this embodiment, the collection box 168 is used exclusively for collection. However, since the collection box 168 is provided with the sending conveyor 169, it can be used for initial replenishment or replenishment during the course.

[0176] Initial replenishment is performed by using the delivery conveyor 16 of the collection box 168.
9 is driven, and the coins stored in the collection box 168 are conveyed to the storage and dispensing section 111, and the coin dispensing section is operated in the same manner as the deposit processing.
111, coin passage 115, discriminating section 143, and sorting hole 145, the coins are replenished into the respective storage cylinder sections 156 of the dispensed coin storage and ejection section 155. Then, the coins of the kind which are full in the storage cylinder part 156 of the dispensed coin storage and discharge part 155 are dropped into the sorting hole 147 and temporarily stored in the temporary storage part 176 through the chute 174. Note that the switching plate 175 is set to the vertical posture and the shutter 178 is closed by the instruction of the initial replenishment process.

Then, at the stage when all coins have been sent out of the collection box 168 (specifically, the identification unit 143 does not detect coins for a predetermined time, and the sensor (not shown) detects that there is no coin in the storage and dispensing unit 111). ), The shutter 178 is opened and returned to the collection box 168. As a result, the collection box 168
The balance in the inside and in each of the storage tube portions 156 is confirmed, and the remaining amount is managed at the time of subsequent payment and withdrawal processing.

At the time of replenishment in the middle, a replenishment command in the middle (storage cylinder 15
6), and the AND condition of the signal indicating that the standby period of the depositing or dispensing process is being performed, and the vertical attitude of the switching plate 175 and the shutter 178.
Of the coins fed out of the collection box 168, the coins to be replenished are stored in the storage cylinder section 156 lacking coins, and the other coins are stored in the temporary storage section 176 through the sorting holes 147. Thus, the shutter 178 is opened, and the coin is returned to the collection box 168. This is from the collection box 168 to the storage cylinder 15
This is to prevent the replenishment time from being prolonged by circulating through the path for replenishing the same coin many times when refilling the coin into 6.

In addition, each storage cylinder 156 is provided for each deposit and withdrawal process.
The amount of coins entering and exiting the collection box 168 is calculated by the control unit 195 and stored in a storage unit (not shown), and the amount of coins in the body 101 is managed. In addition, coin refill cassette
The amount of coins stored in the coin storage unit 181 is not managed by the amount of money, and data management is simply performed on whether the coins in each of the replenishment coin storage units 182 have been discharged or not.

When the collection box 168 is used exclusively for collection, an empty collection box 168 (the storage section 170 is also empty) at the start of work
And an empty reject coin storage box 164 is attached, and
A coin replenishment cassette 181 is installed, replenishes coins and prepares for deposit and withdrawal processing.
The process ends when the collection box 168, the reject coin storage box 164, and the coin replenishment cassette 181 are pulled out.

When the collection box 168 is also used for replenishment, the collection box 168 filled with coins is mounted at the start of operation.

Next, the coin collection process will be described.

First, the normal collection process when the collection box 168 is mounted will be described. When the collection box 168 is in a state where no coins are present, the coins in the dispensed coin storage / ejection section 155 are dispensed by the ejection plate 157 to the coin transport conveyor 160. The coins are conveyed from the coin conveyor 160 to the coin passage 115 via the storage and feeding unit 111, the denomination and the number of coins are identified by the identification unit 143, and are discharged from the sorting hole 147 to the temporary storage unit 176 through the chute 174. Is done. At this time, the switching plate 175 has been switched to the vertical position and the shutter 178 has been switched to the open state in accordance with the collection processing command, so that the coins sent to the temporary storage section 176 fall as they are and are stored in the collection box 168.

In this way, all coins other than the coins remaining in the coin replenishment cassette 181 in the body 101 are collected in the collection box.
The collection box 168 is collected and stored, and the number of coins, the amount, and the total amount of the coins stored in the collection box 168 are calculated, and the collection box 168 that is clarified is taken out of the body 101. By removing the collection box 168, the mounting detection switch 172 is turned off, and the shutter 178 of the temporary storage section 176 is closed.

Next, the collecting process when the collecting box 168 is not mounted will be described. The switching plate 175 is switched to the vertical position by the collecting process command. Shutter 178 is closed. Therefore, coins discharged from the dispensed coin storage / ejection section 155 to the temporary storage section 176 through the sorting hole 147 of the coin passage 115 are temporarily stored in the temporary storage section 176.

When the full detection sensor 79 of the temporary storage section 176 detects that the coins are full during the collection of the coins in the temporary storage section 176, the collection process is interrupted and the shutter 178 is opened by mounting the collection box 168. When the coin is sent to the collection box 168 and the fullness detection of the fullness detection sensor 79 is released, the collection process is restarted.

As described above, the residual detection sensors 116 and 117

The residue in the coin receiving section 204 and the deposit reject coin can be taken out by opening the shutter 203.
It has a function to enable payment approval and payment rejection commands based on the detection of no residual in 5,210.

Next, the operation of the third embodiment will be described.

First, in the deposit processing, the shutter 203 is opened by a deposit start command, and when a deposited coin is inserted into the coin receiving section 204, the shutter 203 is closed. Coin receiving unit 20
The coins inserted in 4 are discharged to the storage and dispensing section 206 by rotating the coin receiving section 204 to the discharging position, and are fed out from the storage and dispensing section 206 to the coin passage 209 in one layer and one row.
The coin is identified by the identification unit 214 of the coin passage 209.

As a result of the discrimination, the deposited coin to be discriminated as a deposited regular coin is placed in the coin passage 209 in the corresponding coin type selection hole 21.
7 and is temporarily held in each of the temporary holding sections 222b of the temporary holding frame 221. For denominations in which the withdrawal coin storage and ejection unit 225 is full and denominations in which the temporary holding unit 222b is full,
The image is branched at the second branching section 216 and temporarily stored in the temporary storage section 222a of the temporary storage frame 221.

[0208] As a result of the discrimination, the coin discriminated as the deposit reject coin is branched off at the first branching section 215, and the shot 21
Through 9, the rejected coin is sent to the coin holding unit 220 to be temporarily held.

[0209] Then, at the time of processing of the coin to be remitted,
The discriminating unit 214 does not continuously detect the incoming and outgoing coin for a predetermined time or more, the sensor 205 detects that the coin receiving unit 205 has no residual coin, and the residual detecting sensor of the storing and dispensing unit 206 does not. If no deposit is detected even at 210 and there is no deposit reject coin, at this point, it is possible for the operator to accept a deposit approval or a deposit rejection. However, if a coin jam is detected on the coin passage 209, the mechanism is mechanically lowered.

[0210] When the payment approval operation is performed by the operator, the coins held in the respective temporary holding sections 222b are stored in the temporary holding frame 22.
1 to the first ejection position, the overflow coins ejected and stored in the dispensing coin storage / ejection section 225 and held in the temporary holding section 222a are moved to the chute 224 and the switching plate.
It is stored in safe 231 through 230.

[0211] When the payment rejection operation is performed by the operator, the temporary holding frame 221 is rotated to the second release position, and the coins temporarily stored in the respective temporary holding units 222a and 222b are discharged to the return conveyor 227. Then, the coin is returned from the return conveyor 227 to the coin receiving section 204 which has been returned to the receiving position through the return conveyor 213, and the shutter 203 is opened. When the operator removes all the deposit-returned coins in the coin receiving section 204 and the coins are no longer detected by the residual detection sensor 205 of the coin receiving section 204, the shutter 203 is closed and the transaction is completed.

Further, during processing of the coins to be transferred, the discrimination unit 214 does not continuously detect the coins to be transferred for a predetermined time or more, and the residual detection sensor 210 of the storage and dispensing unit 206.
However, when no coin or residue is detected, and when the sensor 205 in the coin receiving unit 204 detects no residue, at this point, the operator does not yet accept a deposit approval or deposit non-approval operation, and rejects the rejected coin. An identification process is performed.

In the re-identification processing of the deposit reject coin, the deposit reject coin held in the deposit reject coin temporary holding section 220 is sent to the coin receiving section 204 by the drive of the return conveyor 213, and thereafter, the above-mentioned deposit sending coin is sent. In the same manner as in the case of the processing, the deposit reject coin is
The coin is fed out to the coin passage 209 through the pass, and is re-identified by the identification unit 214.

As a result of the re-identification, if it is determined that the received coin is a regular deposited coin, the deposited regular coin is also sent to the temporary storage units 222a and 222b and temporarily retained, and all re-identified coins are determined to be regular deposited coins. If the payment is temporarily suspended, it is possible to accept the payment approval or the payment rejection at this time, and the processing by the payment approval or the payment rejection is executed as in the case where there is no payment reject coin.

[0215] Also, the case where there are a deposit regular coin and a deposit reject coin among the re-identified coins will be described. The deposit regular coin is temporarily reserved in the temporary storage units 222a and 222b, and the deposit reject coin is stored in the first branch unit 215, Through the chute 219, the deposit is rejected at the lower end of the return conveyor 213 and temporarily stored in the coin reserving section 220. Then, when all of the re-identified coins have been identified and suspended, the return conveyor
213 is driven, and all rejected coins are
The operation returns to 204, and the shutter 203 is opened. The operator removes the deposit reject coin from the coin receiving unit 204,
When the coin is no longer detected by the residual detection sensor 205 of the coin receiving unit 204, the shutter 203 is closed, and a payment approval or a payment rejection operation can be performed.

[0216] Even if the deposit reject coin is not taken out and the coin is detected by the residual detection sensor 205 even after a predetermined time has elapsed, after the shutter 203 is closed,
Mechanic down and notify the administrator.

[0217] Further, during the processing of the deposited coin, the discrimination unit 214 does not continuously detect the deposited coin for a predetermined time or more. However, the residual detection sensor 210 of the storage and delivery unit 206 detects the residue. If there is no deposit reject coin, the operation of returning the residue is started.

In the operation of returning the residue, the residue (a residual coin or a residual foreign substance) remaining in the storage and dispensing section 206 is removed from the opening / closing plate.
