  As a result of the identification by the coin identification unit 80, the received coins identified as legitimate are transported from the first passage area 65 to the end of the second passage area 67 through the turn-back passage area 66, and at the end of the second passage area 67 temporarily. The coins are taken out from the coin-carrying part 87 for holding and stored in the coin temporary holding part 18. At this time, in the coin batch temporary storage unit 18, the coin batch temporary storage frame 130 and the shutter 132 are in the temporary storage position, and the received coins received from the temporary coin storage unit 87 at the end of the second passage area 67 are collectively stored temporarily. Hold.

  As a result of the identification by the coin identifying unit 80, the deposit reject coin identified as the reject coin branches at the deposit reject coin branching portion 84 in the return passage area, and is led to the deposit reject coin storage unit 16 through the deposit reject coin chute 85. The cover 10 can be removed from the outlet.

  If no coins are detected by the hopper sensor group 173 of the storage hopper 13 and no coins are identified for a predetermined time by the coin discriminating unit 80, the processing from the deposit count of all the inserted coins to the temporary hold is performed. The inclined disk 27 of the storage hopper 13, the delivery disk 52 of the coin feeding direction changing passage 14, and the belt 71 of the coin identifying and sorting passage 15 are stopped. In addition, the identification result is displayed on the display unit 172 to confirm the receipt or return of the deposited coin. Further, when there is a reject coin, the deposit reject coin is taken out from the deposit reject coin storage unit 16 and returned to the customer.

  In addition, even if the coin hopper sensor group 173 of the storage hopper 13 detects that there is a coin, if the coin identifying unit 80 does not identify the deposited coin for a predetermined time, the inclined disk 27 is temporarily stopped. The reverse rotation and the normal rotation of the inclined disk 27 are repeated for a predetermined time or a predetermined number of times, and during this time, if the coin is fed out from the storage hopper 13 and detected by the coin identifying unit 80, the inclined disk 27 is returned to the normal rotation. When the inclined disk 27 is rotated in the reverse direction, it is possible to prevent the received coins from being caught on the pins 37 by the guide portions 38 provided on the coin lifting protrusion 36 and the coin breaking protrusion 39, thereby preventing the coin clogging from occurring.

  Further, when the foreign matter 78 is introduced into the storage hopper 13 together with the deposited coin, the foreign matter 78 is removed by the foreign matter separating portion 79 provided upstream of the coin identifying portion 80 of the first passage area 65 in the coin identifying and classifying passage 15. Separated and received by the storage hopper 13. Therefore, even though the hopper sensor group 173 of the storage hopper unit 13 detects that there is a coin, the coin identifying unit 80 does not identify the deposit storage coin for a predetermined time, so the inclined disk 27 is temporarily stopped, The reverse rotation and the normal rotation of the inclined disk 27 are repeated for a predetermined time or a predetermined number of times, but the coin identifying unit 80 continues the state in which no deposited coin is detected. Even if the reverse rotation and the normal rotation of the inclined disk 27 are repeated for a predetermined time or a predetermined number of times, if the coin identifying unit 80 does not detect the deposit storage coin, it is determined that there is a foreign object 78, and the movable hopper frame of the storage hopper unit 13 The part 30 is opened to release the foreign matter 78 to the lower carton 162. At this time, the foreign material 78 can be more reliably discharged by rotating the inclined disk 27 forward and backward. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of coin clogging or the like due to the foreign matter 78 in the coin identification and classification passage 15, and the foreign matter 78 can be easily taken out.

  In addition, in the deposit identification temporary holding process in the deposit process, coin clogging may occur in the storage hopper 13 area on the front side of the partition frame 23, the coin transfer direction changing path 14 area, the coin identification classification path 15 area, etc. When a coin jam occurs in the coin batch temporary storage unit 18, the clerk opens the open / close cover 10 of the fuselage 11 so as to tilt forward, and the storage hopper on the front side of the partition frame 23 facing the front side of the fuselage 11 Section 13 area, coin feeding direction changing passage 14 area, coin identification classification passage 15 area, etc. and the coin collective temporary storage section 18 are exposed. The opening / closing cover 10 can be opened immediately without the need for an unlocking operation with a key. Therefore, it is possible to quickly eliminate the coin jam by removing the coin that has been jammed. After the cancellation, the opening / closing cover 10 is closed to the body 11 and the process is continued or restarted, or the deposit coin is temporarily returned as described in the deposit return, and then the deposit identification temporary hold process is performed again. At this time, the partition frame body 23 closes the front opening 11a of the machine body 11 and is positioned on the front side of the coin type coin stacking and throwing part 17 in the machine body 11 so that the coin type coin stacking and throwing part 17 is disposed in the machine body 11. Since it is locked at the partitioning position partitioned from the outside, the clerk cannot touch the coins of the denominated coin stacking unit 17. Note that the opening / closing cover 10 can be opened even during a deposit recirculation process or a replenishment process, which will be described later.

  In FIG. 21, the process of the deposit coin return after temporary holding in a deposit process is shown. When the deposit coin return is instructed by the operation command unit 171, the deposit return coin in the coin batch temporary storage unit 18 is moved to the second release side position by moving the coin batch temporary storage unit 18 to the second release side position. Is discharged to the storage hopper 13 side, and is sent to the storage hopper 13 through the second discharge chute 143.

  The movable hopper frame part 30 of the storage hopper part 13 is opened, and the deposit return coins in the storage hopper part 13 are discharged from the discharge port 29 of the hopper frame 28 to the coin collecting tool placement part 22 below, and the coin collecting tool placement part 22 To the carton 162 arranged in advance. The carton 162 is taken out from the coin collecting tool placement unit 22 of the airframe 11, and the deposit return coin in the carton 162 is returned. Thereafter, the coin batch temporary storage unit 18 is returned to the temporary storage position, the movable hopper frame unit 30 of the storage hopper unit 13 is closed, and the depositing process is ended.

  FIG. 22 shows a process of deposit non-reflux storage after temporary holding in the deposit process. When the deposit non-reflux storage mode is set in advance, the operation command unit 171 instructs the deposit coin storage to transfer the deposit coins in the coin batch temporary storage unit 18 to the coin batch temporary storage unit 18. 1 is discharged to the coin collective storage unit 20 side, which is the first release side, and is stored in the coin collective storage unit 20, that is, the coin cassette 151 through the first discharge chute 142. Thereafter, the coin batch temporary storage unit 18 is returned to the temporary storage position, and the deposit process is terminated. The coin cassette 151 is placed in the mounting portion 150 in the machine body 11 from the front as the first arrangement posture, so that the first shutter opening member 154 is inserted into the first insertion hole 155, so that the first The shutter opening / closing mechanism is operated to open the first shutter 153, and the first coin receiving port 152 is opened, and the received and stored coins are received and stored from the first coin receiving port 152.

  FIG. 23 shows the processing for depositing and storing the deposit after temporary holding in the depositing process. When the deposit recirculation storage mode is set in advance, the operation command unit 171 instructs the deposit coin storage to receive the deposit storage coin in the coin batch temporary storage unit 18 as the second coin temporary storage unit 18. Is released to the storage hopper 13 side, which is the second release side, and sent to the storage hopper 13 through the second discharge chute 143.

  Thereafter, the coin batch temporary storage unit 18 is moved to the coin batch storage unit 20 to the first release side where the deposited coins are discharged, and the inclined disk 27 of the storage hopper unit 13 and the coin transfer direction changing passage 14 are delivered. The disk 52 and the belt 71 of the coin identification / classification passage 15 are rotated again.

  The inclined storage disk 27 of the storage hopper 13 feeds the stored coins in the storage hopper 13 one by one from the coin delivery port 12 to the coin feeding direction changing passage 14 and separates the coin feeding direction changing passage 14. The deposit storage coins fed out from the coin delivery port 12 by the delivery disk 52 are received one by one in a divided state and are delivered between the projections 72 of the belt 71 of the coin identification classification passage 15 and the projection of the belt 71 of the coin identification classification passage 15 By 72, the deposited coins are pushed and conveyed along the coin identification and classification passage 15 in a state of being sorted one by one.

  The coin storing unit 80 identifies the deposited coins that are transported through the first passage area 65 of the coin identification and classification passage 15.

  As a result of identification by the coin identification unit 80, the deposit storage coins that are identified as legitimate are transported from the first passage area 65 to the second passage area 67 through the return passage area 66, and at the denomination branching portion 86 of the corresponding denomination. It branches from the second passage area 67 and is stored in the denomination storing unit 105 of the denomination coin stacking and throwing unit 17 through the denomination chute 99.

  At this time, the denominated coin stacking and throwing unit 17 drives the vibration motor M9 and rotates the vibration cams 118 integrally with the support shaft 117, as shown in FIGS. The rotation of each vibration cam 118 causes the ejection member 111 to move up and down together with the guide roller 112 with the connecting shaft 116 as a fulcrum, and directly applies vertical vibration to the stacked coins placed on the ejection member 111. For this reason, the coins received from the upper part of the denomination storage unit 105 fall on the stacked coins that vibrate up and down, and the vibration is transmitted, so that the coins easily fall down and can be stacked without standing.

  The deposit storage coin of the denomination in which the denomination storing unit 105 of the denomination coin stacking and throwing unit 17 becomes full, that is, the overflow coin, is allowed to pass through the corresponding denomination branching unit 86 without branching, and the second passage. The coin collective storage unit 20 through the coin collective storage unit 18 that is moved to the first release side position to be taken out from the coin storage unit 87 for temporary storage at the end of the area 67 and discharges the stored coins to the coin collective storage unit 20. Store in.

  As a result of the identification by the coin identifying unit 80, the deposit reject coin identified as the reject coin branches at the deposit reject coin branching portion 84 in the return passage area, and is led to the deposit reject coin storage unit 16 through the deposit reject coin chute 85.

  If no coins are detected by the hopper sensor group 173 of the storage hopper unit 13 and no coins are identified by the coin identification unit 80 for a predetermined time, it is assumed that the storage processing of all the received coins has been completed. The temporary storage unit 18 is returned to the temporary storage position, and the inclined disk 27 of the storage hopper unit 13, the delivery disk 52 of the coin feeding direction changing passage 14, and the belt 71 of the coin identification classification passage 15 are stopped, respectively, and the deposit process is performed. finish. If there is a reject coin, the deposit reject coin is taken out from the deposit reject coin storage unit 16 and collected. Further, when there is a foreign matter 78, the foreign matter 78 is released to the carton 162 through the same processing as in FIG. 20, and the display unit 172 prompts the teller to remove the carton 162.

  It should be noted that the deposit storing coins, that is, the overflow coins to be taken out from the temporary holding coin take-out portion 87 at the end of the second passage area 67 are temporarily held in the coin batch temporary holding portion 18 and deposited by the hopper sensor group 173 of the storage hopper portion 13. The coins may be stored in the coin collective storage unit 20 after the coins are no longer detected and the coin identifying unit 80 does not identify the deposited storage coins for a predetermined time.

  FIG. 24 shows the processing from the withdrawal count to the temporary hold in the withdrawal process. By instructing the withdrawal process in the operation command unit 171 and inputting the withdrawal amount, the coin dispensing unit 106 of the corresponding denomination of the type of coin stacking unit 17 is operated. The coin-throwing unit 106 throws out the coins in the lower part of the denomination storage unit 105 one by one from the coin outlet 109, and the count sensor S2 detects the number of coins thrown out from the coin outlet 109. And count. The coins thrown out from the coin outlet 109 are stored in the thrown-out coin temporary storage unit 121. At this time, in the dispensed coin temporary holding unit 121, the discharge port 123 of the dispensed coin temporary holding frame 122 is closed by the shutter 124, and the dispensed coins are temporarily held collectively.

  FIG. 25 shows a process for dispensing withdrawal in the withdrawal process. After completing the dispensing of coins for the amount of money to be dispensed from the coin-type coin stacking and dispensing unit 17, the shutter 124 of the dispensing coin temporary holding frame 122 is opened and temporarily held in the dispensing coin temporary holding unit 121. The thrown coins are discharged from the discharge port 123 of the thrown coin temporary storage frame 122 to the lower coin collecting tool placement unit 22 and received by the carton 162 arranged in advance in the coin collecting tool placement unit 22. The carton 162 is taken out from the coin collecting tool placement unit 22 of the airframe 11 and the thrown coins in the carton 162 are paid out to the customer. Thereafter, the shutter 124 is returned to a state in which the discharge port 123 of the dispensed coin temporary holding frame 122 is closed, and the dispensing process is ended.

  In this way, by temporarily holding the coins to be dispensed from the coin type coin stacking and throwing unit 17 in the dumping coin temporary holding unit 121, the withdrawal instruction coin amount and the actually thrown coin amount Can be discharged to the carton 162 when they match, so that it is possible to prevent a miscalculation between the withdrawal instruction coin amount and the actually thrown coin amount.

  In addition, if a coin clogging occurs in the coin stacking unit 17 at the time of withdrawal (when depositing, replenishment and collection as described later), the clerk is the administrator of the coin depositing and dispensing machine, etc. Borrow a key from or bring a key from a predetermined management location. Thereafter, the open / close cover 10 of the fuselage 11 is opened so as to be tilted forward, the hopper cover 167 is closed by sliding it to the central region of the upper edge where the height of the hopper frame 28 is low, and the locking means 24 of the partition frame 23 is The door is unlocked with a key, and the partition frame 23 is opened so as to be tilted forward. Thereby, the coin-type coin stacking and throwing-out portion 17 on the back side of the partition frame body 23 is exposed, and coin clogging can be eliminated.

  After resolving the coin jam, the front frame opening 11a of the airframe 11 is closed by tilting the partition frame 23 rearward, and the gold is located in front of the denomination coin stacking portion 17 in the airframe 11. Move the coin stacking and throwing part 17 from the outside of the fuselage 11 to the partitioning position, lock the locking means 24 of the partition frame 23 located at the partitioning position with the key, close the open / close cover 10 to the fuselage 11 and withdraw The process is continued and restarted, or the reset process is once performed and a new withdrawal process is performed again.

  FIG. 26 shows a replenishment process, that is, a loading count in the initial replenishment in which no coins are stored in the body 11 and a replenishment count process in the middle replenishment when coins in the body 11 are reduced.

  By instructing the replenishment process using the operation command unit 171, the coin collective temporary storage unit 18 is moved to the coin collective storage unit 20 to the first release side position where the deposited coins are discharged. By inserting the replenishment coins into the storage hopper unit 13, the replenishment coins inserted into the storage hopper unit 13 are detected by the hopper sensor group 173 and the replenishment process is started. By starting the replenishment process, the inclined disk 27 of the storage hopper 13, the delivery disk 52 of the coin feeding direction changing passage 14, and the belt 71 of the coin identifying / classifying passage 15 are rotated.

  The replenishment coins in the storage hopper 13 are fed one by one from the coin delivery port 12 to the coin transfer direction changing passage 14 by the inclined disk 27 of the storage hopper 13 and delivered to the coin transfer direction changing passage 14. The replenishment coins fed out from the coin delivery port 12 by the disc 52 are received one by one in a state of being sorted and transferred between the projections 72 of the belt 71 of the coin identification classification passage 15, and the projections 72 of the belt 71 of the coin identification classification passage 15 The replenishment coins are pushed and conveyed along the coin identification and classification passage 15 in a state of being sorted one by one.

  The coin recognizing unit 80 identifies the replenishment coins that are transported through the first passage area 65 of the coin identification and classification passage 15.

  As a result of the identification by the coin identifying unit 80, the replenished coins identified as legitimate are transported from the first passage area 65 to the second passage area 67 through the turn-back passage area 66, and then the first denomination branch 86 of the corresponding denomination. It branches from the two passage areas 67 and is stored in the denomination storing unit 105 of the denomination coin stacking and throwing unit 17 through the denomination chute 99.

  Also at this time, by applying vertical vibration to the stacked coins in the denomination storage unit 105 by the rotation of the vibration cam 118, the replenishment coins falling into the denomination storage unit 105 are prevented from standing. Can be stacked reliably.

  The deposit storage coin of the denomination in which the denomination storing unit 105 of the denomination coin stacking and throwing unit 17 becomes full, that is, the overflow coin, is allowed to pass through the corresponding denomination branching unit 86 without branching, and the second passage. The coin collective storage unit 20 through the coin collective storage unit 18 that is moved to the first release side position to be taken out from the coin storage unit 87 for temporary storage at the end of the area 67 and discharges the stored coins to the coin collective storage unit 20. Store in.

  As a result of the identification by the coin identifying unit 80, the supplementary reject coin identified as the reject coin branches at the deposit reject coin branching portion 84 in the return passage area and is stored in the deposit reject coin storage unit 16 through the deposit reject coin chute 85.

  Then, if no coins are detected by the hopper sensor group 173 of the storage hopper unit 13 and no coins are identified for a predetermined time by the coin identification unit 80, it is assumed that the replenishment processing of all the replenished coins that have been inserted is completed, Return the collective coin temporary holding part 18 to the temporary holding position, and stop and replenish the inclined disk 27 of the storage hopper 13, the delivery disk 52 of the coin transfer direction changing passage 14 and the belt 71 of the coin identification classification passage 15 respectively. End the process. Further, when there is a reject coin, the deposit reject coin storage unit 16 is pulled out from the body 11, and the replenishment reject coin is taken out from the deposit reject coin storage unit 16 and collected.

  In addition, even if the coin hopper sensor group 173 of the storage hopper 13 detects that there is a coin, if the coin identifying unit 80 does not identify the replenished coin for a predetermined time, the inclined disk 27 is temporarily stopped, The reverse rotation and the normal rotation of the disk 27 are repeated for a predetermined time or a predetermined number of times, and during this time, if the replenishment coin is fed from the storage hopper 13 and detected by the coin identification unit 80, the inclined disk 27 is returned to the normal rotation.

  Further, when the foreign matter 78 is introduced into the storage hopper 13 together with the deposited coin, the foreign matter 78 is removed by the foreign matter separating portion 79 provided upstream of the coin identifying portion 80 of the first passage area 65 in the coin identifying and classifying passage 15. Separated and received by the storage hopper 13. Therefore, despite the fact that the hopper sensor group 173 of the storage hopper 13 detects that there is a coin, the coin identifying unit 80 does not identify the replenished coin for a predetermined time. Although the reverse rotation and the normal rotation of the inclined disk 27 are repeated for a predetermined time or a predetermined number of times, the coin identifying unit 80 continues a state in which no supplementary coin is detected. Even if the reverse rotation and forward rotation of the inclined disk 27 are repeated for a predetermined time or a predetermined number of times, if the replenishment coin is not detected by the coin identification unit 80, it is determined that there is a foreign object 78, and the movable hopper frame part of the storage hopper part 13 30 is released to release the foreign matter 78 to the lower carton 162. At this time, the foreign material 78 can be more reliably discharged by rotating the inclined disk 27 forward and backward. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of coin clogging or the like due to the foreign matter 78 in the coin identification and classification passage 15, and the foreign matter 78 can be easily taken out.

  Note that the replenishment coins, that is, the overflow coins taken out from the temporary storage coin take-out section 87 at the end of the second passage area 67 are temporarily stored in the coin collective storage section 18 and replenished by the hopper sensor group 173 of the storage hopper section 13. May not be detected and the coin recognizing unit 80 may not recognize the replenishment coins for a predetermined time, and then may be stored in the coin collective storage unit 20.

  FIG. 27 shows a collection process using the coin cassette 151.

  The coin cassette 151 arranged on the mounting part 150 in the machine body 11 is removed. When the coin cassette 151 to be removed is removed from the first shutter opening member 154, the first shutter opening / closing mechanism automatically closes the first shutter 153. As a result, the coins stored in the coin cassette 151 are guaranteed to be stored.

  The removed coin cassette 151 is set in the second arrangement posture, and is inserted into the coin collecting tool arrangement portion 22 of the machine body 11 from the front. When the coin cassette 151 is inserted into the coin collecting tool placement unit 22 from the front, the second shutter opening / closing mechanism is operated by the second shutter opening member 158 being inserted into the second insertion hole 159, so that the second shutter is opened. 157 opens and the second coin receiving port 156 opens. The second coin receiving port 156 is positioned opposite to the lower side of the discharge port 123 of the thrown coin temporary storage unit 121.

  By instructing the collection process by the operation command unit 171, after opening the shutter 124 of the thrown coin temporary holding unit 121, the coin throwing unit 106 of the denominated coin stacking unit 17 operates, and this coin throwing unit 106 operates. The withdrawal unit 106 throws out the collected coins in the lower part of the denomination storage unit 105 one by one from the coin outlet 109, and the count sensor S2 detects and counts the number of recovered coins to be thrown from the coin outlet 109. . The collected coins to be dispensed from the coin dispensing port 109 are passed from the second coin receiving port 156 of the coin cassette 151 arranged in the coin collecting tool arranging unit 22 through the dispensing coin temporary holding unit 121 in which the shutter 124 is opened. Accept and store. When all the collected coins in the denominated coin stacking and dispensing unit 17 are thrown out, the shutter 124 of the thrown-out coin temporary storage unit 121 is closed, and the collection process is ended.

  Then, the coin cassette 151 containing the stored coins stored in the first arrangement posture and the collected coins stored in the second arrangement posture is removed from the coin collecting tool arrangement portion 22 of the machine body 11 and recovered. . When the coin cassette 151 is removed forward from the coin collecting tool placement portion 22, the second shutter opening member 158 is removed from the second insertion hole 159, so that the second shutter opening / closing mechanism removes the second shutter 157. Automatically closes.

  In this way, according to the coin depositing and dispensing machine, when depositing coins, the deposit temporary hold coins released from the coin batch temporary storage unit 18 to the storage side can be collectively stored in the coin cassette 151 mounted in the body 11, In addition, at the time of coin recovery, by removing the coin cassette 151 from the body 11 and placing it in the coin collecting tool placement unit 22, it is possible to collect the coins thrown from the denomination coin stacking unit 17 to the coin cassette 151, Accordingly, the stored coins and the collected coins can be stored and collected in the coin cassette 151 without being conveyed, and the coin depositing and dispensing machine can be simplified and miniaturized.

  Further, the coin-type coin stacking / dispensing unit 17 in a state where the coin cassette 151 is disposed in the first coin receiving port 152 for receiving the coins released from the coin collective temporary holding unit 18 and the coin collecting tool arranging unit 22. And a second coin receiving port 156 for receiving coins thrown out from the coin cassette, the coin cassette 151 can be used both for storing and for collecting.

  Further, when the coin cassette 151 is arranged in the coin collecting tool arrangement unit 22, the storage hopper unit 13 and the second arrangement posture are set to be lower than the first arrangement posture arranged in the mounting unit 150. The denomination coin stacking and throwing part 17 can be arranged at a low position, and the height of the airframe 11 can be lowered.

  If there is a margin in the height of the coin depositing and dispensing machine, the coin collecting tool placement unit 22 may be made without changing the posture of the coin cassette 151. In this case, the coin receiving port provided in the coin cassette 151 One is enough.

  Further, the dispensed coin temporary storage unit 121 may be stored in the coin collecting tool 21 of the coin collecting tool placement unit 22 without being provided.
