Description

【０００１】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、特に大量の硬貨を取り扱う場合に用いて好適な硬貨入出金機に関する。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
硬貨入出金機に関する技術として、例えば、特開平５−１０１２５３号公報に開示されたものがある。この公報には、機体の奥行き方向（前後方向）に金種別の出金収納部を一列に配置することで幅方向にスリム化を図ったＡＴＭ（硬貨自動預払機）用の硬貨入出金機が開示されている。この硬貨入出金機は、入金硬貨、出金硬貨ともに、同一の取引口を経由するため、入金量および出金量が取引口の容量により制限されることになる。この種の硬貨入出金機では、一般的に入金量および出金量が１００枚以下の小口とされている。
【０００３】
また、硬貨入出金機に関する技術として、例えば、特開２００１−６０１５号公報に開示されたものがある。この公報には、金融機関の窓口、または出納部署で使用される端末処理機型の硬貨入出金機が開示されていて、上記した硬貨入出金機に比べて、入金量、出金量とも、やや大口の取引が可能な構成になっている。すなわち、この硬貨入出金機は、機体の奥行き方向に金種別の一時貯留部を一列に配置し、その下方に、入金返却部と出金収納部が配置されていて、出金収納部は、機体の奥行き方向に一列に配列され、ベルト手段等を介して、出金された硬貨は小口の出金部に出金されるように構成されている。
【０００４】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
ところで、一度に１０００枚程度の大量の硬貨の入金あるいは出金を行うことが必要になった場合、上記のような従来の硬貨入出金機では、処理を分割して行わなければならず、手間がかかるという問題があった。一度に大量硬貨の処理を可能にするためには、硬貨入出金機を大型化する必要があるが、従来の構造のまま大型化すると、必要以上に大型のものとなってしまう。特に、このような硬貨入出金機は、壁を背面にして使用されることが多いため、奥行き方向に大型化することは避けなければならない。また、使い勝手から高さ方向に大型化することも避けなければならない。このため、幅方向だけが大型化可能となる。
【０００５】
しかしながら、従来の構造では、金種別に硬貨を一時貯留させる空間および金種別に硬貨を収納させる空間が奥行き方向に配列されているため、幅に比べて奥行きが短い場合が多く、そのまま幅方向にさらに大型化すると、これらの金種別の空間が横長となってしまう。すると、幅の拡大ほど一時貯留量および収納量を増大させることができないという問題の発生が予想された。
【０００６】
したがって、本発明は、幅方向に大型化した場合に、高い効率で硬貨を金種別に一時貯留および金種別に収納することができる硬貨入出金機の提供を目的とする。
【０００７】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記目的を達成するために、請求項１に係る発明は、機体の奥行き方向に延在し、入金硬貨を金種別に選別する選別通路と、該選別通路の下側の機体左右方向における一側に設けられ、該選別通路で選別された一部の金種の硬貨を金種別に一時貯留させる第１入金一時貯留部と、前記選別通路の下側の機体左右方向における他側に設けられ、該選別通路で選別された残りの一部の金種の硬貨を金種別に一時貯留させる第２入金一時貯留部と、前記第１入金一時貯留部の下側に設けられ、該第１入金一時貯留部から繰り出された硬貨を金種別に収納するとともに、収納した硬貨を金種別に出金可能な第１出金収納部と、前記第２入金一時貯留部の下側に設けられ、該第２入金一時貯留部から繰り出された硬貨を金種別に収納するとともに、収納した硬貨を金種別に出金可能な第２出金収納部と、前記第１出金収納部と前記第２出金収納部との間に設けられ、前記第１入金一時貯留部から繰り出された硬貨および前記第２入金一時貯留部から繰り出された硬貨を機外に返却可能とする入金返却部と、前記第１出金収納部の下側に設けられ、該第１出金収納部から繰り出された硬貨を金種別に一時貯留させる第１出金一時貯留部と、前記第２出金収納部の下側に設けられ、該第２出金収納部から繰り出された硬貨を金種別に一時貯留させる第２出金一時貯留部と、前記第１出金一時貯留部の下側に設けられ、該第１出金一時貯留部から繰り出された硬貨を収納する第１収納金庫部と、前記第２出金一時貯留部の下側に設けられ、該第２出金一時貯留部から繰り出された硬貨を収納する第２収納金庫部と、前記第１収納金庫部と前記第２収納金庫部との間に設けられ、前記第１出金一時貯留部から繰り出された硬貨および前記第２出金一時貯留部から繰り出された硬貨を金種別に機外に出金可能とする出金部と、を有することを特徴としている。
【０００８】
これにより、機体の奥行き方向に延在する選別通路の下側の機体左右方向における一側に、選別通路で選別された一部の金種の硬貨を金種別に一時貯留させる第１入金一時貯留部を設けるとともに、選別通路の下側の機体左右方向における他側に、選別通路で選別された残りの一部の金種の硬貨を金種別に一時貯留させる第２入金一時貯留部を設けることで、金種を左右に分けて一時貯留させるため、第１入金一時貯留部および第２入金一時貯留部の金種別に硬貨を一時貯留させる各入金一時貯留空間を機体の奥行き方向に大型化することができる。すなわち、これらの金種別の入金一時貯留空間が横長となってしまうことがない。
【０００９】
また、第１入金一時貯留部の下側に、該第１入金一時貯留部からの硬貨を金種別に収納するとともに収納した硬貨を出金可能な第１出金収納部を設け、第２入金一時貯留部の下側に、該第２入金一時貯留部からの硬貨を金種別に収納するとともに、収納した硬貨を出金可能な第２出金収納部を設けることで、金種を左右に分けて収納するため、第１出金収納部および第２出金収納部の金種別に硬貨を収納する各収納空間を機体の奥行き方向に大型化することができる。すなわち、これらの金種別の収納空間が横長となってしまうことがない。
【００１０】
さらに、第１出金収納部の下側に、該第１出金収納部から繰り出された硬貨を金種別に一時貯留させる第１出金一時貯留部を設け、第２出金収納部の下側に、該第２出金収納部から繰り出された硬貨を金種別に一時貯留させる第２出金一時貯留部を設けることで、金種を左右に分けて一時貯留させるため、第１出金一時貯留部および第２出金一時貯留部の金種別に硬貨を一時貯留させる各出金一時貯留空間を機体の奥行き方向に大型化することができる。すなわち、これらの金種別の出金一時貯留空間が横長となってしまうことがない。
【００１１】
加えて、第１出金収納部および第２出金収納部の間に、第１入金一時貯留部および第２入金一時貯留部から繰り出された硬貨を機外に返却可能とする入金返却部を設けているため、第１入金一時貯留部および第２入金一時貯留部の硬貨を返却する場合に、一つの入金返却部にまとめて返却することができる。
【００１２】
さらに、第１出金一時貯留部の下側に、該第１出金一時貯留部からの硬貨を収納する第１収納金庫部を設け、第２出金一時貯留部の下側に、該第２出金一時貯留部からの硬貨を収納する第２収納金庫部を設け、さらに、第１収納金庫部と第２収納金庫部との間に、第１出金一時貯留部からの硬貨および第２出金一時貯留部からの硬貨を機外に出金可能とする出金部を設けているため、第１出金一時貯留部および第２出金一時貯留部の硬貨を出金させる場合に、一つの出金部にまとめて出金することができる。
【００１３】
請求項２に係る発明は、機体の奥行き方向に延在し、入金硬貨を金種別に選別する選別通路と、該選別通路の下側の機体左右方向における一側に設けられ、該選別通路で選別された一部の金種の硬貨を金種別に一時貯留させる第１入金一時貯留部と、前記選別通路の下側の機体左右方向における他側に設けられ、該選別通路で選別された残りの一部の金種の硬貨を金種別に一時貯留させる第２入金一時貯留部と、前記第１入金一時貯留部の下側に設けられ、該第１入金一時貯留部から繰り出された硬貨を金種別に収納するとともに、収納した硬貨を金種別に出金可能な第１出金収納部と、前記第２入金一時貯留部の下側に設けられ、該第２入金一時貯留部から繰り出された硬貨を金種別に収納するとともに、収納した硬貨を金種別に出金可能な第２出金収納部と、前記第１出金収納部と前記第２出金収納部との間に設けられ、前記第１入金一時貯留部から繰り出された硬貨および前記第２入金一時貯留部から繰り出された硬貨を機外に返却可能とする入金返却部と、前記第１出金収納部の下側に設けられ、該第１出金収納部から繰り出された硬貨を金種別に一時貯留させる第１出金一時貯留部と、前記第２出金収納部の下側に設けられ、該第２出金収納部から繰り出された硬貨を金種別に一時貯留させる第２出金一時貯留部と、前記第１出金一時貯留部の下側に設けられ、該第１出金一時貯留部から繰り出された硬貨を金種別に機外に出金可能とする第１出金部と、前記第２出金一時貯留部の下側に設けられ、該第２出金一時貯留部から繰り出された硬貨を金種別に機外に出金可能とする第２出金部と、前記第１出金部と前記第２出金部との間に設けられ、前記第１出金一時貯留部から繰り出された硬貨および前記第２出金一時貯留部から繰り出された硬貨を収納する収納金庫部と、を有することを特徴としている。

【００１５】
また、第１入金一時貯留部の下側に、該第１入金一時貯留部からの硬貨を金種別に収納するとともに収納した硬貨を出金可能な第１出金収納部を設け、第２入金一時貯留部の下側に、該第２入金一時貯留部からの硬貨を金種別に収納するとともに収納した硬貨を出金可能な第２出金収納部を設けることで、金種を左右に分けて収納するため、第１出金収納部および第２出金収納部の金種別に硬貨を収納する各収納空間を機体の奥行き方向に大型化することができる。すなわち、これらの金種別の収納空間が横長となってしまうことがない。
【００１６】
さらに、第１出金収納部の下側に、該第１出金収納部から繰り出された硬貨を金種別に一時貯留させる第１出金一時貯留部を設け、第２出金収納部の下側に、該第２出金収納部から繰り出された硬貨を金種別に一時貯留させる第２出金一時貯留部を設けることで、金種を左右に分けて一時貯留させるため、第１出金一時貯留部および第２出金一時貯留部の金種別に硬貨を一時貯留させる各出金一時貯留空間を機体の奥行き方向に大型化することができる。すなわち、これらの金種別の出金一時貯留空間が横長となってしまうことがない。
【００１７】
加えて、第１出金収納部および第２出金収納部の間に、第１入金一時貯留部および第２入金一時貯留部から繰り出された硬貨を機外に返却可能とする入金返却部を設けているため、第１入金一時貯留部および第２入金一時貯留部の硬貨を返却する場合に、一つの入金返却部にまとめて返却することができる。
【００１８】
【発明の実施の形態】
まず、本発明の第１実施形態の硬貨入出金機を図１〜図６を参照して以下に説明する。なお、以下の説明における「前後」は機体における前後（前が操作者側）であり、「左右」は操作者側から見た左右である。
【００１９】
図中、符号１１は、硬貨入出金機の外殻を構成する機体であり、図１および図２に示すように、機体１１の左右方向における中央の上端部前側には、機外から入金硬貨が投入される入金部１２が設けられている。
【００２０】
入金部１２は、硬貨が通過する際の高さを規制することで硬貨を一枚ずつに分離しながら回転円盤１３の遠心力で繰り出すもので、この入金部１２の後側において前後方向に延在する硬貨選別部１５に向けて硬貨を繰り出す。なお、機体１１の上部には、左側の前部に印字を行うプリンタ部１６が、左側の後部に全体の作動を制御する制御部１７が、右側の前部に操作者へ操作案内を行うとともに操作者からの操作入力がなされる表示操作部１８が、表示操作部１８の下にカード挿入部１９が、それぞれ設けられている。

【００６６】
図１に示すように、出金部６１の下側のスペースには、給電を制御する電源部６５が設けられている。
【００６７】
次に、以上の構成の硬貨入出金機の作動を説明する。
「入金処理」
入金部１２に操作者により入金硬貨が投入され、表示操作部１８で入金処理開始の操作入力がなされると、制御部１７は入金部１２から一枚ずつ硬貨を繰り出させる。すると、硬貨は選別通路２１に沿って後方に移動することになり、判別部２２で偽硬貨と判別された硬貨はリジェクト部２３から入金リジェクトシュート２７を介して入金リジェクト部２６に案内されて、入金リジェクト部２６の引き出しにより機外へ取り出し可能となる。
【００６８】
一方、判別部２２で真硬貨と判別された硬貨は、選別通路２１に沿ってさらに後方に移動することになり、選別孔２４ａ〜２４ｆの対応する一つから入金案内シュート３０ａ〜３０ｆの対応する一つを介して、ともに受入状態にある第１入金一時貯留部３１および第２入金一時貯留部３２の入金一時貯留空間３４ａ〜３４ｆの対応する一つに一時貯留される。
【００６９】
すなわち、第１入金一時貯留部３１では、図３に示すように、入金一時貯留空間３４ａに選別孔２４ａから落下する硬貨（１円硬貨）を、入金一時貯留空間３４ｄに選別孔２４ｄから落下する硬貨（１００円硬貨）を、入金一時貯留空間３４ｅに選別孔２４ｅから落下する硬貨（１０円硬貨）を、それぞれ一時貯留させる。また、第２入金一時貯留部３２では、図４に示すように、入金一時貯留空間３４ｂに選別孔２４ｂから落下する硬貨（５０円硬貨）を、入金一時貯留空間３４ｃに選別孔２４ｃで案内された硬貨（５円硬貨）を、入金一時貯留空間３４ｆに選別孔２４ｆで案内された硬貨（５００円硬貨）を、それぞれ一時貯留させる。
【００７０】
そして、入金部１２に投入された硬貨がすべて第１入金一時貯留部３１あるいは第２入金一時貯留部３２に案内されると、制御部１７は、判別部２２の判別結果である各金種別の計数値および合計値等を表示操作部１８に表示させて入金処理を終了する。
【００７１】
「入金返却処理」
上記入金処理の結果を表示操作部１８で確認し、操作者が表示操作部１８に入金を取りやめる旨の操作入力を行うと、制御部１７は、ともに受入状態にあった第１入金一時貯留部３１および第２入金一時貯留部３２を、図１に矢印Ｘ２，Ｘ４で示すように同時に互いに近接する方向に移動させる。すると、第１入金一時貯留部３１および第２入金一時貯留部３２はともに下部が開放状態となり、一時貯留させていた硬貨をすべて返却シュート４２を介して入金返却部４３に排出させる。すると、入金返却部４３の機体１１からの引き出しにより、入金処理された硬貨がすべて機外へ取り出し可能となり、返却される。
【００７２】
「入金収納処理」
上記入金処理の結果を表示操作部１８で確認し、操作者が表示操作部１８に入金を承認する旨の操作入力を行うと、制御部１７は、ともに受入状態にあった第１入金一時貯留部３１および第２入金一時貯留部３２を、図１に矢印Ｘ１，Ｘ３で示すように同時に互いに離間する方向に移動させる。すると、第１入金一時貯留部３１および第２入金一時貯留部３２はともに下部が開放状態となり、第１入金一時貯留部３１は一時貯留させていた硬貨を金種別に第１出金収納部３６に受け渡し、第２入金一時貯留部３２は一時貯留させていた硬貨を金種別に第２出金収納部３７に受け渡す。
【００７３】
すなわち、第１入金一時貯留部３１は、図３に示すように、入金一時貯留空間３４ａの硬貨（１円硬貨）を収納空間３９ａに、入金一時貯留空間３４ｄの硬貨（１００円硬貨）を収納空間３９ｄに、入金一時貯留空間３４ｅの硬貨（１０円硬貨）を収納空間３９ｅに、それぞれ収納させる。また、第２入金一時貯留部３１は、図４に示すように、入金一時貯留空間３４ｂの硬貨（５０円硬貨）を収納空間３９ｂに、入金一時貯留空間３４ｃの硬貨（５円硬貨）を収納空間３９ｃに、入金一時貯留空間３４ｆの硬貨（５００円硬貨）を収納空間３９ｆに、それぞれ収納させる。
【００７４】
「出金繰出処理」
表示操作部１８に使用者により出金処理の操作入力がなされると、制御部１７は、第１出金収納部３６および第２出金収納部３７から必要な金種の硬貨を必要な枚数だけ繰り出させ、ともに受入状態にある第１出金一時貯留部４６および第２出金一時貯留部４７に一時貯留させる。
【００７５】
すなわち、第１出金収納部３６は、図３に示すように、繰出部４０ａから繰り出した硬貨（１円硬貨）を第１出金一時貯留部４６の出金一時貯留空間４９ａに、繰出部４０ｄから繰り出した硬貨（１００円硬貨）を第１出金一時貯留部４６の出金一時貯留空間４９ｄに、繰出部４０ｅから繰り出した硬貨（１０円硬貨）を第１出金一時貯留部４６の出金一時貯留空間４９ｅに、それぞれ一時貯留させる。また、第２出金収納部３７は、図４に示すように、繰出部４０ｂから繰り出した硬貨（５０円硬貨）を第２出金一時貯留部４７の出金一時貯留空間４９ｂに、繰出部４０ｃから繰り出した硬貨（５円硬貨）を第２出金一時貯留部４７の出金一時貯留空間４９ｃに、繰出部４０ｆから繰り出した硬貨（５００円硬貨）を第２出金一時貯留部４７の出金一時貯留空間４９ｆに、それぞれ一時貯留させる。
【００７６】
「出金払出処理」
上記出金繰出処理により第１出金収納部３６および第２出金収納部３７から適正に繰り出された硬貨がすべて第１出金一時貯留部４６および第２出金一時貯留部４７に一時貯留されると、制御部１７は、ともに受入状態にあった第１出金一時貯留部４６および第２出金一時貯留部４７を、図１に矢印Ｘ６，Ｘ８で示すように同時に互いに近接する方向に移動させる。すると、第１出金一時貯留部４６および第２出金一時貯留部４７はともに下部が開放状態となり、第１出金一時貯留部４６は一時貯留させていた硬貨を案内シュート６０を介して金種別に出金部６１に受け渡し、第２出金一時貯留部４７も一時貯留させていた硬貨を案内シュート６０を介して金種別に出金部６１に受け渡す。
【００７７】
すなわち、第１出金一時貯留部４６は、図５に示すように、出金一時貯留空間４９ａの硬貨（１円硬貨）を案内通路６３ａを介して受入空間６４ａに、出金一時貯留空間４９ｄの硬貨（１００円硬貨）を案内通路６３ｄを介して受入空間６４ｄに、出金一時貯留空間４９ｅの硬貨（１０円硬貨）を案内通路６３ｅを介して受入空間６４ｅに、それぞれ収納させる。また、第２出金一時貯留部４７は、図６に示すように、出金一時貯留空間４９ｂの硬貨（５０円硬貨）を案内通路６３ｂを介して受入空間６４ｂに、出金一時貯留空間４９ｃの硬貨（５円硬貨）を案内通路６３ｃを介して受入空間６４ｃに、出金一時貯留空間４９ｆの硬貨（５００円硬貨）を案内通路６３ｆを介して受入空間６４ｆに、それぞれ収納させる。すると、出金部６１の機体１１からの引き出しにより、出金繰出処理された硬貨がすべて機外へ取り出し可能となり、出金される。
【００７８】
「金庫収納処理」
ここで、上記出金繰出処理により第１出金収納部３６および第２出金収納部３７から繰り出された硬貨に枚数のミス等があると、繰り出された硬貨がすべて第１出金一時貯留部４６あるいは第２出金一時貯留部４７に一時貯留された状態で、制御部１７は、ともに受入状態にあった第１出金一時貯留部４６および第２出金一時貯留部４７を、図１に矢印Ｘ５，Ｘ７で示すように同時に互いに離間する方向に移動させる。すると、第１出金一時貯留部４６および第２出金一時貯留部４７はともに下部が開放状態となり、第１出金一時貯留部４６は一時貯留させていた硬貨を案内シュート５１を介して金種別に第１収納金庫部５５に受け渡し、第２出金一時貯留部５６は一時貯留させていた硬貨を金種別に第２収納金庫部５６に受け渡す。
【００７９】
すなわち、第１出金一時貯留部４６は、図３に示すように、出金一時貯留空間４９ａの硬貨（１円硬貨）を案内通路５３ａを介して金庫収納空間５８ａに、出金一時貯留空間４９ｄの硬貨（１００円硬貨）を案内通路５３ｄを介して金庫収納空間５８ｄに、出金一時貯留空間４９ｅの硬貨（１０円硬貨）を案内通路５３ｅを介して金庫収納空間５８ｅに、それぞれ収納させる。また、第２出金一時貯留部４７は、図４に示すように、出金一時貯留空間４９ｂの硬貨（５０円硬貨）を案内通路５３ｂを介して金庫収納空間５８ｂに、出金一時貯留空間４９ｃの硬貨（５円硬貨）を案内通路５３ｃを介して金庫収納空間５８ｃに、出金一時貯留空間４９ｆの硬貨（５００円硬貨）を案内通路５３ｆを介して金庫収納空間５８ｆに、それぞれ収納させる。
【００８０】
なお、第１出金収納部３６および第２出金収納部３７の硬貨を第１収納金庫部５５および第２収納金庫部５６に収納して機外に取り出す回収処理、および第１出金収納部３６および第２出金収納部３７の満杯を解消する満杯解消処理も、上記出金繰出処理と金庫収納処理とを行うことになる。
【００８１】
以上に述べた第１実施形態の硬貨入出金機によれば、機体１１の前後方向すなわち奥行き方向に延在する選別通路２１の下側の機体左右方向における一側に、選別通路２１で選別された一部（半分）の金種の硬貨を金種別に一時貯留させる第１入金一時貯留部３１を設けるとともに、選別通路２１の下側の機体左右方向における他側に、選別通路２１で選別された残りの一部（半分）の金種の硬貨を金種別に一時貯留させる第２入金一時貯留部３２を設けることで、金種を左右に分けて一時貯留させるため、第１入金一時貯留部３１および第２入金一時貯留部３２の金種別に硬貨を一時貯留させる各入金一時貯留空間３４ａ〜３４ｆを機体１１の奥行き方向に大型化することができる。すなわち、これらの金種別の入金一時貯留空間３４ａ〜３４ｆが横長となってしまうことがない。
【００８２】
また、第１入金一時貯留部３１の下側に、この第１入金一時貯留部３１からの硬貨を金種別に収納するとともに収納した硬貨を出金可能な第１出金収納部３６を設け、第２入金一時貯留部３２の下側に、この第２入金一時貯留部からの硬貨を金種別に収納するとともに、収納した硬貨を出金可能な第２出金収納部３７を設けることで、金種を左右に分けて収納するため、第１出金収納部３６および第２出金収納部３７の金種別に硬貨を収納する各収納空間３９ａ〜３９ｆを機体１１の奥行き方向に大型化することができる。すなわち、これらの金種別の収納空間３９ａ〜３９ｆが横長となってしまうことがない。
【００８３】
さらに、第１出金収納部３６の下側に、この第１出金収納部３６から繰り出された硬貨を金種別に一時貯留させる第１出金一時貯留部４６を設け、第２出金収納部３７の下側に、この第２出金収納部３７から繰り出された硬貨を金種別に一時貯留させる第２出金一時貯留部４７を設けることで、金種を左右に分けて一時貯留させるため、第１出金一時貯留部４６および第２出金一時貯留部４７の金種別に硬貨を一時貯留させる各出金一時貯留空間４９ａ〜４９ｆを機体１１の奥行き方向に大型化することができる。すなわち、これらの金種別の出金一時貯留空間４９ａ〜４９ｆが横長となってしまうことがない。
【００８４】
以上により、高い効率で硬貨を金種別に一時貯留および金種別に収納することができる。
【００８５】
加えて、第１出金収納部３６および第２出金収納部３７の間に、第１入金一時貯留部３１および第２入金一時貯留部３２から繰り出された硬貨を機外に返却可能とする入金返却部４３を設けているため、第１入金一時貯留部３１および第２入金一時貯留部３２の硬貨を返却する場合に、一つの入金返却部４３にまとめて返却することができる。したがって、返却時の取出作業が容易となる。
【００８６】
さらに、第１出金一時貯留部４６の下側に、この第１出金一時貯留部４６からの硬貨を収納する第１収納金庫部５５を設け、第２出金一時貯留部４７の下側に、この第２出金一時貯留部４７からの硬貨を収納する第２収納金庫部５６を設け、さらに、第１収納金庫部５５と第２収納金庫部５６との間に、第１出金一時貯留部４６からの硬貨および第２出金一時貯留部４７からの硬貨を機外に出金可能とする出金部６１を設けているため、第１出金一時貯留部４６および第２出金一時貯留部４７の硬貨を出金させる場合に、一つの出金部６１にまとめて出金することができる。したがって、出金時の取出作業が容易となる。
【００８７】
次に、本発明の第２実施形態の硬貨入出金機について、図７〜図１１を主に参照して第１実施形態と相違する部分を中心に以下に説明する。なお、第１実施形態と同様の部分には、同一の符号を付しその説明は略す。ここで、第２実施形態では、第１実施形態の第１収納金庫部５５、第２収納金庫部５６および出金部６１に換えて、以下の第１出金部７１、第２出金部７２および収納金庫部７５が設けられている。

なお、これら第１出金部７１および第２出金部７２は、それぞれ機体１１から前方に引出可能となっており、引き出された状態で硬貨を金種別の状態で機外に取出可能とする。また、各受入空間７３ａ，７３ｄ，７３ｅを第１出金部７１に対し分離可能な個別の収納箱で構成し、各受入空間７３ｂ，７３ｃ，７３ｆを第２出金部７２に対し分離可能な個別の収納箱で構成すれば、第１出金部７１および第２出金部７２を機体１１から引き出した後に、第１出金部７１および第２出金部７２から各収納箱をそれぞれ個別に取り外すことで、出金硬貨を各金種毎に容易に取り出すことができる。さらにまた、第１出金部７１および第２出金部７２は、硬貨を金種別に分類して受け入れるのではなく、一括して受け入れるようにしても良いが、後処理を考慮すれば金種別に分類するのが好ましい。
【００９２】
図７に示すように、第１出金一時貯留部４６および第２出金一時貯留部４７の下側であって第１出金部７１と第２出金部７２との間には、第１出金一時貯留部４６が受入状態から図７に矢印Ｘ６で示すように左方に移動することでこの第１出金一時貯留部４６から繰り出される硬貨を案内シュート６０を介して受け入れるとともに、第２出金一時貯留部４７が受入状態から図７に矢印Ｘ８で示すように右方に移動することでこの第２出金一時貯留部４７から繰り出される硬貨を案内シュート６０を介して受け入れ、受け入れた硬貨を金種別に収納する、第１出金一時貯留部４６および第２出金一時貯留部４７に対し共用の収納金庫部７５が設けられている。
【００９３】
収納金庫部７５は、全体として前後方向に長い形状をなしており、図１０および図１１に示すように、第１出金一時貯留部４６および第２出金一時貯留部４７から繰り出され案内シュート６０を介して案内された硬貨を金種別に受け入れるように仕切られた受入空間７６ａ〜７６ｆを有している。
【００９４】
図１０に示すように、収納金庫部７５の右側の最も前側の受入空間７６ａは、第１出金一時貯留部４６の出金一時貯留空間４９ａから繰り出され案内シュート６０の案内通路６３ａで案内される硬貨（１円硬貨）のみを受け入れるようになっており、その後側の受入空間７６ｄは出金一時貯留空間４９ｄから繰り出され案内通路６３ｄで案内される硬貨（１００円硬貨）のみを受け入れるようになっていて、その後側の受入空間７６ｅは出金一時貯留空間４９ｅから繰り出され案内通路６３ｅで案内される硬貨（１０円硬貨）のみを受け入れるようになっている。
【００９５】
図１１に示すように、収納金庫部７５の左側の最も前側の受入空間７６ｂは、第２出金一時貯留部４７の出金一時貯留空間４９ｂから繰り出され案内通路６３ｂで案内される硬貨（５０円硬貨）のみを受け入れるようになっており、その後側の受入空間７６ｃは出金一時貯留空間４９ｃから繰り出され案内通路６３ｃで案内される硬貨（５円硬貨）のみを受け入れるようになっていて、その後側の受入空間７６ｆは出金一時貯留空間４９ｆから繰り出され案内通路６３ｆで案内される硬貨（５００円硬貨）のみを受け入れるようになっている。
【００９６】
なお、この収納金庫部７５においては、各受入空間７６ａ〜７６ｆを分離可能な個別の収納箱で構成すれば、収納金庫部７５を機体１１から取り出した後に、収納金庫部７５から各収納箱をそれぞれ個別に取り外すことで、収納硬貨を各金種毎に容易に取り出すことができる。ここで、収納金庫部７５は、硬貨を金種別に分類して収納するのではなく全金種を一括して収納するようにしても良いが、後処理を考慮すれば金種別に分類するのが好ましい。
【００９７】
そして、第１出金部７１の下側のスペースに、給電を制御する電源部６５が設けられている。
【００９８】
以上の構成の第２実施形態では、出金払出処理と金庫収納処理の作動が第１実施形態に対し相違している。
【００９９】
「出金払出処理」
上記出金繰出処理により第１出金収納部３６および第２出金収納部３７から適正に繰り出された硬貨がすべて第１出金一時貯留部４６あるいは第２出金一時貯留部４７に一時貯留されると、制御部１７は、ともに受入状態にあった第１出金一時貯留部４６および第２出金一時貯留部４７を図７に矢印Ｘ５，Ｘ７で示すように同時に互いに離間する方向に移動させる。すると、第１出金一時貯留部４６および第２出金一時貯留部４７はともに下部が開放状態となり、第１出金一時貯留部４６は一時貯留させていた硬貨を案内シュート５１を介して金種別に第１出金部７１に受け渡し、第２出金一時貯留部４７は一時貯留させていた硬貨を案内シュート５２を介して金種別に第２出金部７２に受け渡す。
【０１００】
すなわち、第１出金一時貯留部４６は、図８に示すように、出金一時貯留空間４９ａの硬貨（１円硬貨）を案内通路５３ａを介して受入空間７３ａに、出金一時貯留空間４９ｄの硬貨（１００円硬貨）を案内通路５３ｄを介して受入空間７３ｄに、出金一時貯留空間４９ｅの硬貨（１０円硬貨）を案内通路５３ｅを介して受入空間７３ｅに、それぞれ収納させる。また、第２出金一時貯留部４７は、図９に示すように、出金一時貯留空間４９ｂの硬貨（５０円硬貨）を案内通路５３ｂを介して受入空間７３ｂに、出金一時貯留空間４９ｃの硬貨（５円硬貨）を案内通路５３ｃを介して受入空間７３ｃに、出金一時貯留空間４９ｆの硬貨（５００円硬貨）を案内通路５３ｆを介して受入空間７３ｆに、それぞれ収納させる。すると、第１出金部７１および第２出金部７２の機体１１からの引き出しにより、出金繰出処理された硬貨がすべて機外へ取り出し可能となり、出金される。
【０１０１】
「金庫収納処理」
他方、上記出金繰出処理により第１出金収納部３６および第２出金収納部３７から繰り出された硬貨に枚数のミス等があると、繰り出された硬貨がすべて第１出金一時貯留部４６および第２出金一時貯留部４７に一時貯留された状態で、制御部１７は、ともに受入状態にあった第１出金一時貯留部４６および第２出金一時貯留部４７を図７に矢印Ｘ６，Ｘ８で示すように同時に互いに近接する方向に移動させる。すると、第１出金一時貯留部４６および第２出金一時貯留部４７はともに下部が開放状態となり、第１出金一時貯留部４６は一時貯留させていた硬貨を案内シュート６０を介して金種別に収納金庫部７５に受け渡し、第２出金一時貯留部４７も一時貯留させていた硬貨を金種別に収納金庫部７５に受け渡す。
【０１０２】
すなわち、第１出金一時貯留部４６は、図１０に示すように、出金一時貯留空間４９ａの硬貨（１円硬貨）を案内通路６３ａを介して金庫収納空間７６ａに、出金一時貯留空間４９ｄの硬貨（１００円硬貨）を案内通路６３ｄを介して金庫収納空間７６ｄに、出金一時貯留空間４９ｅの硬貨（１０円硬貨）を案内通路６３ｅを介して金庫収納空間７６ｅに、それぞれ収納させる。また、第２出金一時貯留部４７は、図１１に示すように、出金一時貯留空間４９ｂの硬貨（５０円硬貨）を案内通路６３ｂを介して金庫収納空間７６ｂに、出金一時貯留空間４９ｃの硬貨（５円硬貨）を案内通路６３ｃを介して金庫収納空間７６ｃに、出金一時貯留空間４９ｆの硬貨（５００円硬貨）を案内通路６３ｆを介して金庫収納空間７６ｆに、それぞれ収納させる。
【０１０３】
以上に述べた第２実施形態の硬貨入出金機によれば、第１実施形態とほぼ同様の効果を奏することができる。
【０１０４】
なお、上記した第１実施形態および第２実施形態の硬貨入出金機にあっては、入金硬貨を金種別に選別する選別通路２１として、各金種別の選別孔２４ａ〜２４ｆが落下させる各硬貨の外径にあった大きさを有し、硬貨を小さい順に落下させる方式の構造を採用しているが、必ずしもこれに限られるものではない。例えば、上記のように偽硬貨と判別された硬貨を落下させる一方真硬貨と判別された硬貨を通過させる開閉可能なリジェクト部２３と同一の構造を、各金種別の選別孔２４ａ〜２４ｆに採用して、対象金種の硬貨を開作動により落下させる一方、対象金種ではない硬貨を閉状態で通過させることにより、任意の選別孔２４ａ〜２４ｆに、予め定めた金種の硬貨を選別させることも可能である。
【０１０５】
