  In addition, the apparatus main body 2 is provided with a display operation unit (selection unit, operation unit) 29 that performs display to the operator and operation input by the operator. In the display operation unit 29, the selected counting mode in which the received coins are stored in the storage / withdrawal units 27a to 27f as denomination coins in the denominations, and the received coins are stored in the storage boxes 24a to 24f by denomination mixing. It is possible to select and set the mixing counting mode stored in the storage.

Next, the control content of the control part 28 of 1st Embodiment is demonstrated.
Here, in the coin depositing and dispensing machine 1, all the storage boxes 24a to 24f are emptied at the start of business, and the deposit data of coins of each denomination stored in the control unit 28 are also reset to zero. Therefore, the control unit 28 stores the deposit amount of each money type from the counting result of the identification unit 11 in the deposit process performed thereafter. Moreover, the control part 28 is based on the count result of the identification part 11, and the distribution result of the distribution part 13a-13f, respectively, and the storage amount of each coin of each storage box 24a-24f and each of the storage payment part 27a-27f. The amount of coins stored is stored. In addition, about the side wall part formation body 22 and the bottom part formation body 23 which comprise the temporary storage parts 21a-21f, as shown in FIG. 4, the control part 28 sets the 1st position below the distribution parts 13a-13f. After the side wall portion forming body 22 and the bottom portion forming body 23 are moved, they are always returned to the basic position to complete the movement. In addition, the connecting mechanism 41 is in a state where the side wall portion forming body 22 and the bottom portion forming body 23 are connected to each other, and when the side wall portion forming body 22 and the bottom portion forming body 23 are returned to the basic position, the side wall portion forming body 22 and The bottom part forming body 23 is connected to a basic state.

"Selection counting mode"
First, a case where the selection counting mode is selected and set by appropriate input to the display operation unit 29 will be described. This mode is selected when the amount of coins to be deposited is relatively small.

  When the first depositing process is started by the start operation to the display operation unit 29 in the coin depositing and dispensing machine 1, the control unit 28 separates by this one depositing process when the sorting counting mode is selected and set. While rejected coins that are identified as unacceptable based on the identification result of the identification unit 11 among the coins put into the hopper 6 of the supply unit 5 by denomination mixing are all returned to the reject box 20 by the rejection unit 12, The sorting units 13a to 13f are controlled so as to sort and sort the true coins identified as acceptable. That is, the coins identified as one-yen coins by the identification unit 11 are temporarily stored in the temporary storage unit 21a from the sorting hole 14a by opening the shutter 15a of the distribution unit 13a. Further, the coin identified as the 5-yen coin by the identification unit 11 is allowed to pass through the sorting unit 13a with the shutter 15a closed, and the shutter 15b of the sorting unit 13b is opened to temporarily store the coin from the sorting hole 14b to the temporary storage unit 21b. Store. Further, the coins identified as 10-yen coins by the identifying unit 11 are passed through the sorting units 13a and 13b with the shutters 15a and 15b closed, and the shutter 15c of the sorting unit 13c is opened and temporarily stored from the sorting hole 14c. The part 21c is temporarily stored. In addition, the coins identified as 50-yen coins by the identification unit 11 are allowed to pass through the sorting units 13a to 13c with the shutters 15a to 15c closed, and the shutter 15d of the sorting unit 13d is opened to temporarily pass through the sorting hole 14d. The reservoir 21d is temporarily stored. Further, the coins identified as 100-yen coins by the identification unit 11 are allowed to pass through the sorting units 13a to 13d with the shutters 15a to 15d closed, and the shutter 15e of the sorting unit 13e is opened to temporarily store the coins from the sorting hole 14e. The part 21e is temporarily stored. Furthermore, the coins identified as 500 yen coins by the identification unit 11 are passed through the sorting units 13a to 13e with the shutters 15a to 15e closed, and temporarily stored in the temporary storage unit 21f from the sorting holes 14f of the sorting unit 13f. Let In addition, as long as the pattern of distribution of each denomination to the temporary storage units 21a to 21f is always constant, the setting is not limited to the above and may be other settings.

  And all the true coins identified as acceptable based on the identification result of the identification unit 11 among the coins inserted into the hopper 6 in this one deposit process are temporarily stored in the temporary storage units 21a to 21f in denominations. Then, the counting result of the money type and the total amount are displayed on the display operation unit 29, and when the cancel operation is input to the display operation unit 29 by the operator, the control unit 28 causes the side wall portion by the coupling mechanism 41 to be displayed. After the connection between the forming body 22 and the bottom forming body 23 is released, the side wall forming body 22 is moved to the second position by the drive mechanism 36 as shown in FIG. 6 while the bottom forming body 23 is stopped at the first position. The coins that have been temporarily stored in the denomination in the temporary storage units 21a to 21f are transferred to the corresponding ones in the return accommodation units 25a to 25f of the return box 26 in the denomination. Then, the operator takes out the return box 26 and receives a return coin. And after delivering a coin to the return box 26 from the temporary storage parts 21a-21f, the control part 28 returns the side wall part formation body 22 to the 1st position which is a basic position with the drive mechanism part 36, and is 1st position. The bottom forming body 23 and the connecting mechanism 41 are connected to each other.

  On the other hand, when an approval operation is input to the display operation unit 29 by the operator, the control unit 28 stores the coins temporarily stored in the temporary storage units 21a to 21f according to the denominations and the storage / withdrawal units 27a to 27f and the storage. The money is transferred selectively to any one of the boxes 24a to 24f, that is, to the storage / withdrawal units 27a to 27f or the storage boxes 24a to 24f. Judgment.

  The control unit 28 includes the number of coins of each denomination temporarily stored in each temporary storage unit 21a to 21f and the storage coins for withdrawal of each denomination already stored in each of the storage and withdrawal units 27a to 27f. The total value of each money type is obtained from the number of sheets, and when each of the total values corresponds to each of the storage / withdrawal units 27a to 27f but is equal to or less than a preset storage determination value, each temporary storage unit While coins temporarily stored in 21a to 21f by denomination are transferred to each storing and dispensing unit 27a to 27f, each of the total values corresponds to one of the storing and dispensing units 27a to 27f. If the storage determination value of the object is exceeded, the coins temporarily stored in the temporary storage units 21a to 21f by denomination are transferred to the storage boxes 24a to 24f by denomination. That is, the total value of 1-yen coins is obtained by adding the number of 1-yen coins temporarily stored in the temporary storage unit 21a and the number of 1-yen coins already stored in the storage / withdrawal unit 27a. Judgment whether or not the value exceeds the storage determination value set for the storage / withdrawal unit 27a, the number of 5-yen coins temporarily stored in the temporary storage unit 21b, and the storage / withdrawal unit 27b. The total number of 5-yen coins is obtained by adding the number of 5-yen coins that are present, and a determination is made as to whether or not this total value exceeds the storage determination value set for the storage / withdrawal unit 27b, and temporary storage The total number of 10 yen coins is obtained by adding the number of 10 yen coins temporarily stored in the part 21c and the number of 10 yen coins already stored in the storage and withdrawal part 27c. Whether or not the storage judgment value set for the gold part 27c is exceeded And adding the number of 50 yen coins temporarily stored in the temporary storage unit 21d and the number of 50 yen coins already stored in the storage withdrawal unit 27d to obtain the total value of the 50 yen coins. Judgment whether or not the total value exceeds the storage determination value set for the storage / withdrawal unit 27d, the number of 100-yen coins temporarily stored in the temporary storage unit 21e, and the storage / withdrawal unit 27e are already stored. The total number of 100-yen coins is added to obtain a total value of 100-yen coins, and a determination is made as to whether or not this total value exceeds a storage determination value set for the storage / withdrawal unit 27e; The total value of 500 yen coins is obtained by adding the number of 500 yen coins temporarily stored in the storage part 21f and the number of 500 yen coins already stored in the storage and withdrawal part 27f, and this total value is stored. Storage size set for withdrawal part 27f Performing the determination of whether or not exceed the value. Here, the above-mentioned storage determination value is a storage amount before a predetermined value at which each of the storage / withdrawal units 27a to 27f is full, that is, a so-called near-full storage amount, and is filled even if storage is performed once. It is set to the storage amount that must not be.

  When all the above determinations are NO, that is, when each total value is equal to or less than the corresponding storage determination value, the control unit 28 determines that the side wall portion forming body 22 and the bottom portion forming body 23 are in the first position. As shown in FIG. 7, the drive mechanism portions 36 and 39 horizontally move together to the second position, and then the side wall portion forming body 22 and the bottom portion by the connection mechanism 41 are maintained. As shown in FIG. 8, the side wall portion forming body 22 is horizontally moved to the third position by the drive mechanism portion 36 while the connection with the forming body 23 is released and the bottom portion forming body 23 is stopped at the second position. As a result, the coins temporarily stored in the denominations in the temporary storage units 21a to 21f are transferred to the corresponding ones of the storage and withdrawal units 27a to 27f in the denominations. Then, after delivering coins from the temporary storage portions 21a to 21f to the storage / withdrawal portions 27a to 27f, the control portion 28 uses the drive mechanism portions 36 and 39 to place the side wall portion forming body 22 and the bottom portion forming body 23 at the basic position. Returning to the first position, these are coupled by the coupling mechanism 41.

  On the other hand, when any of the above-described determinations is YES, that is, when any of the total values exceeds the corresponding storage determination value, the control unit 28 determines the side wall part forming body 22 and the bottom part forming body by the coupling mechanism 41. After the connection of 23 is released, the bottom forming body 23 is moved to the second position by the drive mechanism 39 as shown in FIG. 5 while the side wall forming body 22 is stopped at the first position. The coins temporarily stored in the denominations in the temporary storage units 21a to 21f are transferred to the corresponding ones of the storage boxes 24a to 24f in the denomination. And after delivering a coin from the temporary storage parts 21a-21f to the storage boxes 24a-24f, the control part 28 returns the bottom part formation body 23 to the 1st position which is a basic position with the drive mechanism part 39, 1st It connects with the side wall part formation body 22 which was in the position by the connection mechanism 41. FIG. In addition, since the coins stored in the above-described storage / withdrawal units 27a to 27f are withdrawn by a withdrawal process performed separately from the depositing process, the amount of coins stored in the storage / withdrawal parts 27a to 27f is It will be reduced by the withdrawal process.

  Here, when the amount of true coins that cannot be temporarily stored in any one of the temporary storage units 21a to 21f is detected by the identification unit 11 in one depositing process, the control unit 28 thereafter All the detected coins of the same denomination are guided to the reject box 20 from the reject hole 14g by opening the shutter 15g of the reject unit 12, and returned to the operator via the reject box 20. On the other hand, for coins of other denominations, the distribution continues. In this way, when one deposit process is completed, the counting operation result and the total amount of money type are displayed on the display operation unit 29 only for the coins temporarily stored in the money type by the temporary storage units 21a to 21f at that time. When an approval operation is input to the display operation unit 29 by the operator, it is transferred to one of the storage boxes 24a to 24f and the storage / withdrawal units 27a to 27f in the same manner as described above. After that, the operator inserts the coins returned to the reject box 20 into the hopper 6 again and processes it as another deposit process.

`` Mixed counting mode ''
Next, a case where the mixture counting mode is selected and set by appropriate input to the display operation unit 29 will be described. This mode is selected when a large amount of coins are deposited.

  When the one depositing process is started by the start operation to the display operation unit 29 in the coin depositing and dispensing machine 1, the control unit 28 separates by this one depositing process when the mixed counting mode is selected and set. While rejected coins that are identified as unacceptable based on the identification result of the identification unit 11 among the coins put into the hopper 6 of the supply unit 5 by denomination mixing are all returned to the reject box 20 by the rejection unit 12, After the true coins that are identified as being acceptable are mixed in denominations as needed and divided into a plurality of temporary storage units 21a to 21f as needed, and after each is temporarily stored as much as possible by denomination mixing. The distribution units 13a to 13f and the temporary storage units 21a to 21f are controlled so as to be stored by denomination mixing in the corresponding ones of the storage boxes 24a to 24f. In addition, the control unit 28 stores the true coins that are identified as being acceptable, in accordance with the remaining capacity that can be stored in each of the plurality of storage boxes 24a to 24f, in order from the largest remaining capacity by denomination mixing. It is made to divide into a plurality of temporary storage parts 21a-21f so that it may carry out, and it is made to temporarily store by denomination mixing.

  For example, as a result of the deposit process up to the previous time, at the start of one deposit process, the order of the remaining capacity that can store coins is the storage box 24a, storage box 24b, storage box 24c, storage box 24d, storage box 24e. In the case of the storage box 24f in this order, the control unit 28 identifies that it is acceptable based on the identification result of the identification unit 11 among the coins put into the hopper 6 of the separation supply unit 5 in this one depositing process. First of all, the true coins are temporarily stored as much as possible in the temporary storage unit 21a corresponding to the storage box 24a from the sorting hole 14a by opening the shutter 15a of the distribution unit 13a while keeping the denomination mixed. When the amount of coins determined to fill the temporary storage unit 21a is temporarily stored in the temporary storage unit 21a, the control unit 28 next stores the temporary storage unit 21b corresponding to the storage box 24b having the next largest remaining capacity. And temporarily store all possible coins by denomination mixing. Furthermore, when the amount of coins determined to fill up the temporary storage unit 21b is temporarily stored in the temporary storage unit 21b, the control unit 28 next stores the temporary storage unit 21c corresponding to the storage box 24c with the next smallest remaining capacity. And temporarily store all possible coins by denomination mixing. Furthermore, when the amount of coins determined to fill up the temporary storage unit 21c is temporarily stored in the temporary storage unit 21c, the control unit 28 next stores the temporary storage unit 21d corresponding to the storage box 24d having the next smallest remaining capacity. And temporarily store all possible coins by denomination mixing. Further, when the temporary storage unit 21d temporarily stores an amount of coins determined to fill the temporary storage unit 21d, the control unit 28 next stores the temporary storage unit 21e corresponding to the storage box 24e with the next smallest remaining capacity. And temporarily store all possible coins by denomination mixing. Furthermore, when the amount of coins determined to fill up the temporary storage unit 21e is temporarily stored in the temporary storage unit 21e, the control unit 28 next stores the temporary storage unit 21f corresponding to the storage box 24f with the smallest remaining capacity. Temporarily store as many coins as possible by denomination mixing.

  And all the true coins identified as acceptable based on the identification result of the identification unit 11 among the coins inserted into the hopper 6 by this one depositing process are temporarily stored in any of the temporary storage units 21a to 21f. Then, the counting result of the money type and the total amount are displayed on the display operation unit 29, and when the approval operation is input to the display operation unit 29 by the operator, the control unit 28 causes the side wall portion forming body 22 by the connecting mechanism 41. After the connection of the bottom forming body 23 and the side wall forming body 22 is stopped at the first position, the bottom forming body 23 is moved to the second position by the drive mechanism 39 as shown in FIG. By moving, the coin temporarily stored in any of the temporary storage units 21a to 21f is stored in the corresponding one of the storage boxes 24a to 24f with the denomination mixed. And after delivering a coin from the temporary storage parts 21a-21f to the storage boxes 24a-24f, the control part 28 returns the bottom part formation body 23 to the 1st position which is a basic position with the drive mechanism part 39, 1st It connects with the side wall part formation body 22 which was in the position by the connection mechanism 41. FIG.

  On the other hand, when a cancel operation is input to the display operation unit 29 by the operator, the control unit 28 releases the connection between the side wall forming body 22 and the bottom forming body 23 by the connecting mechanism 41, and then the bottom forming body 23 is As shown in FIG. 6, the side wall portion forming body 22 is moved to the second position by the drive mechanism portion 36 while being stopped at the position 1, thereby temporarily storing it in any one of the temporary storage portions 21 a to 21 f. The stored coins are returned to the corresponding one of the return accommodating portions 25a to 25f of the return box 26 with the denomination mixed. Then, the operator takes out the return box 26 and receives a return coin. In addition, after delivering a coin from the temporary storage parts 21a-21f to the return box 26, the control part 28 returns the side wall part formation body 22 to the 1st position which is a basic position with the drive mechanism part 36, and is 1st position. The bottom forming body 23 and the connecting mechanism 41 are connected to each other.

  Here, when all the true coins that have been inserted into the hopper 6 of the separation supply unit 5 in one deposit process and identified as being acceptable are amounts that can be temporarily stored in the temporary storage unit 21a only by denomination mixing. Is stored in the storage box 24a having the largest remaining capacity from the temporary storage unit 21a. In addition, when all the true coins that have been inserted into the hopper 6 of the separation supply unit 5 and identified as being acceptable in one depositing process can be temporarily stored in the temporary storage units 21a and 21b only by denomination mixing. Are stored in the storage box 24a having the largest remaining capacity from the temporary storage unit 21a and stored in the storage box 24b having the second largest remaining coin from the temporary storage unit 21b. Will be stored. Furthermore, the amount of true coins that were put into the hopper 6 of the separation supply unit 5 in one depositing process and identified as being acceptable could be temporarily stored only in the temporary storage units 21a, 21b, 21c by denomination mixing. In this case, the full amount of coins is stored in the storage box 24a having the largest remaining capacity from the temporary storage unit 21a, and the full amount of coins is stored in the storage box 24b having the second largest remaining capacity from the temporary storage unit 21b. The amount of coins less than the full amount from the temporary storage unit 21c is stored in the storage box 24c having the second largest remaining capacity. When the same true coin is an amount that can be temporarily stored by denomination mixing only in the temporary storage units 21a to 21d, the full amount of coins from each of the temporary storage units 21a to 21c is stored in the storage boxes 24a to 24a. The amount of coins stored in the storage box 24d is stored in the storage box 24d, and similar true coins are temporarily stored only in the temporary storage sections 21a to 21e by denomination mixing. When the amount is possible, the full amount of coins is stored in the storage boxes 24a to 24d from each of the temporary storage units 21a to 21d, and the amount of coins less than the full amount is stored from the temporary storage unit 21e. When the same true coin is stored in the box 24e and is in an amount that can be temporarily stored in the temporary storage portions 21a to 21f by denomination mixing, the temporary storage portions 21a to 21e. Each of fullness of the coin stored in the storage box 24a~24e from each coin of fullness following amounts is to be housed in the housing box 24f from the temporary storage portion 21f.

  In the above, at the start of one depositing process, the order of the remaining capacity in which coins can be stored is the storage box 24a, storage box 24b, storage box 24c, storage box 24d, storage box 24e, storage box 24f. However, the order in which the remaining capacity is large will of course differ at the time point, and in either case, the temporary storage units 21a to 21f are in accordance with the order in which the remaining capacity is large. The order of temporary storage is simply changed with respect to the above example.

  As described above, in the case of the deposit processing in the mixed counting mode, the temporary storage units 21a to 21f store the remaining capacity so that coins are always stored in the storage boxes 24a to 24f in order from the largest remaining capacity. Since coins as much as possible are temporarily stored in the same order as the order, the storage boxes 24a to 24f can reduce the remaining capacity on average and leave the remaining capacity on average. For this reason, when a large amount of coins are stored in the storage boxes 24a to 24f using all of the temporary storage portions 21a to 21f, the remaining capacity of one of the storage boxes 24a to 24f is insufficient, so that the amount of coins that can be stored is large. The situation of decreasing will be avoided as much as possible.

  That is, when the storage box 24a is almost full, coins can be temporarily stored in the temporary storage unit 21a, but cannot be temporarily stored in the temporary storage unit 21a. Since the temporary storage is performed only in 21f, even if there is a surplus capacity in the storage boxes 24b to 24f corresponding to the remaining temporary storage units 21b to 21f, the temporary storage units 21b to 21f are temporarily stored in one deposit process. Coins can be stored only for the amount stored. In order to suppress such a situation, when the mixed counting mode is selected, the storage is distributed so that the remaining capacity of all the storage boxes 24a to 24f is always left on average.

  Here, when the amount of true coins that cannot be temporarily stored in all of the temporary storage units 21a to 21f is detected by the identification unit 11 in one depositing process, the control unit 28 removes all the subsequent coins. The shutter 15g of the reject unit 12 is opened, guided to the reject box 20 through the reject hole 14g, and returned to the operator via the reject box 20. Then, only the coins temporarily stored in the temporary storage units 21a to 21f are displayed on the display operation unit 29 with the denomination counting result and the total amount, and when an approval operation is input to the display operation unit 29 by the operator, Then, the operator stores the coins returned to the reject box 20 into the hopper 6 again and processes it as another deposit process.

  Further, in one depositing process, the coins are temporarily stored in the corresponding ones of the temporary storage units 21a to 21f so that the coins are stored in order from the storage box 24a to 24f with the largest remaining capacity that can be stored. When the identifying unit 11 detects a coin exceeding the remaining capacity of the storage boxes 24a to 24f that has the largest capacity that can be stored, the control unit 28 corresponds to the remaining capacity. Only the amount of coins that can be stored is temporarily stored in the corresponding first one of the temporary storage units 21a to 21f, and the remaining capacity that can be stored next to the coins exceeding the remaining capacity among the storage boxes 24a to 24f is Temporary storage is performed in the next corresponding one of the temporary storage units 21a to 21f so as to be stored in many items. Further, during this time, when the discriminating unit 11 detects an amount of coins that exceeds the remaining capacity of the storage boxes 24a to 24f, but the remaining capacity can be stored next, the control unit 28 Of the storage boxes 24a to 24f, only the amount of coins that can be stored corresponding to the remaining capacity of the storage box 24a to 24f that has a large remaining capacity can be temporarily stored in the corresponding one of the temporary storage units 21a to 21f. The coins that exceed the remaining capacity are temporarily stored in the next corresponding one of the temporary storage units 21a to 21f so as to be stored in the storage box 24a to 24f that has the smaller remaining capacity that can be stored next. . Similarly, coins are sorted so as to store the amount corresponding to the remaining capacity in order of increasing remaining capacity, and the amount of coins exceeding the remaining capacity of the storage boxes 24a to 24f, although the remaining capacity is the smallest. Is detected by the identification unit 11, the control unit 28 guides all subsequent coins from the reject unit 12 to the reject box 20 and returns them to the operator via the reject box 20. In this case, when coins are stored in the storage boxes 24a to 24f from the temporary storage units 21a to 21f, one of the storage boxes 24a to 24f becomes full. At this time, the control unit 28 is determined to be full. Display on the display / operation unit 29 prompts collection of the storage boxes 24a to 24f.

"No mode setting"
Next, a case where there is no setting input to the display operation unit 29 and neither the mixed counting mode nor the selection counting mode is selected and set will be described.

  When one depositing process in the coin depositing / dispensing machine 1 is started by a start operation to the display operation unit 29, if neither the mixed counting mode nor the sorting counting mode is selected and set, the control unit 26 When it is determined that the number of stored coins for withdrawal of each money type stored in each of the storage / withdrawal units 27a to 27f exceeds the corresponding upper mode determination value, the above mixed count The mode is automatically selected and deposit processing is performed in the mixed counting mode. That is, it is determined whether or not the number of stored coins for withdrawal of 1-yen coins stored in the storage / withdrawal unit 27a exceeds the upper mode determination value for the storage / withdrawal unit 27a, and the storage / withdrawal unit 27b Judgment whether or not the number of stored coins for withdrawal of the 5-yen coins stored exceeds the upper mode determination value for the stored withdrawal unit 27b, and the 10-yen coins stored in the storage withdrawal unit 27c Judgment whether or not the number of stored coins for withdrawal exceeds the upper mode determination value for the stored / withdrawal unit 27c, and the number of stored coins for withdrawal of 50 yen coins stored in the stored / withdrawal unit 27d are stored. Judgment whether or not the upper mode determination value for the withdrawal unit 27d is exceeded, and the number of stored coins for withdrawal of 100 yen coins stored in the stored withdrawal unit 27e is the upper mode for the stored withdrawal unit 27e. Judgment as to whether or not the judgment value is exceeded and it is stored in the storage / withdrawal unit 27f Performed by dispensing for accommodating coins the number of 500-yen coins are whether exceeds the upper mode determination value for accommodating dispensing unit 27f determines and respectively.

  When all the above determinations are YES, that is, when the number of stored coins for withdrawal of each money type exceeds the corresponding upper mode determination value, the control unit 28 automatically selects the above-described mixed counting mode. Then, deposit processing is performed in the mixed counting mode. Note that the above-described upper mode determination value is set in advance, and is set to a coin quantity that can be sufficiently handled when the withdrawal process is performed. That is, when the amount of coins that can sufficiently handle the withdrawal process is stored in all the storage / withdrawal units 27a to 27f, it is determined that it is not necessary to replenish the storage / withdrawal units 27a to 27f. Thus, the coins temporarily stored in the temporary storage units 21a to 21f while being denominated are automatically transferred to the storage boxes 24a to 24f.

  On the other hand, if any of the above determinations is NO, that is, if any of the number of stored coins for withdrawal of each denomination is less than the corresponding upper mode determination value, the control unit 28 automatically selects the above-described selection counting mode. The deposit processing is performed in the sorting counting mode. That is, when the amount of coins that can sufficiently cope with the withdrawal process is not stored in any of the storage / withdrawal units 27a to 27f, it is determined that the coins need to be replenished to the storage / withdrawal units 27a to 27f. The coins temporarily stored in the denominations in the temporary storage units 21a to 21f are automatically transferred to the denominations 27a to 27f in the denomination.

Here, in place of the above, the mode can be automatically set as follows.
When one depositing process in the coin depositing / dispensing machine 1 is started by a start operation to the display operation unit 29, if neither the mixed counting mode nor the sorting counting mode is selected and set, the control unit 26 When any one of the stored coins for withdrawal of each type of money stored in each of the storage / withdrawal units 27a to 27f is determined to be less than the corresponding lower mode determination value, the above-described sorting counting mode is set. Automatically select and perform deposit process in sorting counting mode. That is, it is determined whether or not the number of stored coins for withdrawal of 1-yen coins stored in the storage / withdrawal unit 27a is less than the lower mode determination value for the storage / withdrawal unit 27a, and the storage / withdrawal unit 27b. 10 coins stored in the storage / withdrawal unit 27c and whether or not the number of stored coins for withdrawal of the 5-yen coins stored in the storage unit is less than the lower mode determination value for the storage / withdrawal unit 27b. Determination of whether or not the number of stored coins for withdrawal of coins is less than the lower mode determination value for the stored / withdrawal unit 27c, and storage coins for withdrawal of 50-yen coins stored in the stored / withdrawal unit 27d Judgment whether or not the number of sheets is less than the lower mode determination value for the storage / withdrawal unit 27d, and the number of stored coins for withdrawal of 100 yen coins stored in the storage / withdrawal unit 27e. And whether it is less than the lower mode determination value for use and stored in the storage / withdrawal unit 27f. Performing payment for accommodating coins the number of 500-yen coins is less than the lower mode determination value for accommodating dispensing unit 27f determines whether the respectively.

  If any of the above determinations is YES, that is, if any of the number of stored coins for withdrawal of each denomination is less than the corresponding lower mode determination value, the control unit 28 selects the above-described sorting counting mode. Is automatically selected and deposit processing is performed in the sorting counting mode. The lower mode determination value is set in advance and is lower than the upper mode determination value described above, and the amount of coins that is determined to be insufficient for the withdrawal process when the withdrawal process is performed. Is set. That is, when the amount of coins in any of the storage / withdrawal units 27a to 27f is the amount of coins that cannot be applied to the withdrawal process, it is determined that the coins need to be replenished to the storage / withdrawal units 27a to 27f. The coins temporarily stored in the denominations in the temporary storage units 21a to 21f are automatically transferred to the denominations 27a to 27f in the denomination.

  On the other hand, when all of the above determinations are NO, that is, when all of the number of stored coins for withdrawal of each money type are equal to or higher than the corresponding lower mode determination value, the control unit 28 sets the above-described mixed counting mode. Select automatically and deposit in mixed counting mode. That is, when coins more than the minimum that can be withdrawn are stored in all of the storage / withdrawal units 27a to 27f, it is not necessary to replenish the storage / withdrawal units 27a to 27f. Therefore, the coins temporarily stored in the temporary storage units 21a to 21f while being denominated are automatically transferred to the storage boxes 24a to 24f. Whether to use the determination based on the upper mode determination value or the determination based on the lower mode determination value is set by the customer according to the situation.

  The arrangement of the storage boxes 24a to 24f, the return box 26, and the storage / withdrawal units 27a to 27f is not limited to the above, and various changes can be made. That is, one of the storage / withdrawal units 27a to 27f, the return box 26, and the storage boxes 24a to 24f is provided below the first position, the other one is provided below the second position, and the other One of these may be provided below the third position.

  According to the coin depositing / dispensing machine 1 of the first embodiment described above, the side wall portion forming bodies 22 of the plurality of temporary storage portions 21a to 21f are arranged at the first position below the plurality of distribution portions 13a to 13f. The second position shifted in the horizontal direction with respect to the first position and the third position shifted further in the horizontal direction with respect to the second position are provided so as to be horizontally movable. The bottom forming body 23 capable of closing the lower opening is also provided so as to be horizontally movable, and storage boxes 24a to 24f are provided below the first position. That is, in one of the storage / withdrawal units 27a to 27f, the return box 26, and the storage boxes 24a to 24f below the first position where the temporary storage units 21a to 21f receive coins from the distribution units 13a to 13f. Since some storage boxes 24a to 24f are provided, only the other storage / withdrawal units 27a to 27f and the return box 26 are used as the first positions where the temporary storage units 21a to 21f receive coins from the distribution units 13a to 13f. It is only necessary to arrange them horizontally different from each other. Therefore, the horizontal movement amount of the side wall portion forming body 22 and the bottom portion forming body 23 can be minimized, and an increase in size of the airframe can be prevented. Further, since the connecting mechanism 41 that connects and disconnects the side wall portion forming body 22 and the bottom portion forming body 23 is provided, the side wall portion forming body 22 and the bottom portion forming body 23 are surely integrated when horizontally moved simultaneously. Can be moved. Therefore, even if any one of the side wall portion forming body 22 and the bottom portion forming body 23 hinders the horizontal movement for some reason, the side wall portion forming body 22 and the bottom portion forming body 23 are displaced from each other and are not to be handed over coins. It will not be dropped.

  In addition, the control unit 28 positions the side wall portion forming body 22 and the bottom portion forming body 23 at the first position and closes the lower opening of the side wall portion forming body 22 with the bottom portion forming body 23. The coins from the portions 13a to 13f are received, and then the side wall portion forming body 22 is positioned at the first position in a state where the connecting mechanism 41 releases the connection between the side wall portion forming body 22 and the bottom portion forming body 23. The bottom forming body 23 is moved horizontally to the second position, so that the coins are transferred to the storage boxes 24a to 24f provided below the first position, so that only the bottom forming body 23 is moved horizontally. Then, the coins distributed to the temporary storage units 21a to 21f are delivered to the storage boxes 24a to 24f, which are one of the storage / withdrawal units 27a to 27f, the return box 26, and the storage boxes 24a to 24f. It is possible.

  Further, the control unit 28 positions the side wall portion forming body 22 and the bottom portion forming body 23 at the first position and closes the lower opening of the side wall portion forming body 22 with the bottom portion forming body 23. The coins from the portions 13a to 13f are received, and then the bottom forming body 23 is kept in the first position in a state where the connection mechanism 41 releases the connection between the side wall forming body 22 and the bottom forming body 23. By moving the side wall portion forming body 22 horizontally to the second position, the coins are transferred to the return box 26 provided below the second position, so that only the side wall portion forming body 22 is moved horizontally. The coins distributed to the temporary storage units 21a to 21f can be delivered to the return box 26, which is one of the storage / withdrawal units 27a to 27f, the return box 26, and the storage boxes 24a to 24f. .

  In addition, the control unit 28 positions the side wall portion forming body 22 and the bottom portion forming body 23 at the first position and closes the lower opening of the side wall portion forming body 22 with the bottom portion forming body 23. The coins from the dividing portions 13a to 13f are received, and then the side wall portion forming body 22 and the bottom portion forming body 23 are integrated together while the connecting mechanism 41 is connected to the side wall portion forming body 22 and the bottom portion forming body 23. After the horizontal movement to the position 2, the connection between the side wall portion forming body 22 and the bottom portion forming body 23 by the connecting mechanism 41 is released, and the side wall portion forming body 23 is left in the second position. By horizontally moving 22 to the third position, the side wall portion forming body 22 and the bottom portion forming body 23 are integrated with each other in order to deliver coins to the storage and withdrawal portions 27a to 27f provided below the third position. After moving horizontally to the second position, By moving only the wall forming body 22 horizontally, the coins distributed to the temporary storage units 21a to 21f are transferred to another one of the storage / withdrawal units 27a to 27f, the return box 26, and the storage boxes 24a to 24f. It can be delivered to the storage / withdrawal units 27a to 27f.

  Further, when the selection counting mode is selected in the display operation unit 29, the control unit 28 distributes the true coins from the coins inserted into the separation supply unit 5 into the denominations by the distribution units 13a to 13f. Since the plurality of temporary storage units 21a to 21f are temporarily stored by denomination and then stored by the plurality of storage and withdrawal units 27a to 27f by denomination, the coins are divided into denominations and stored and withdrawing unit 27a. It can be stored in ~ 27f, and the deposited coin can be used for withdrawal. Moreover, when it is not necessary to replenish coins in the storage / withdrawal units 27a to 27f, the coins temporarily stored in the plurality of temporary storage units 21a to 21f by denomination are stored in the storage boxes 24a to 24f. That is, it is possible to suppress the operation stop caused by the overflow. On the other hand, when the mixing / counting mode is selected in the display operation unit 29, the control unit 28 uses the sorting units 13a to 13f to store the true coins from the coins input into the separation supply unit 5 and the temporary storage unit 21a. After being divided into a plurality of items of ~ 21f and temporarily stored by denomination mixing, each corresponding one of the storage boxes 24a to 24f is stored by denomination mixing. Depending on the storage status of the boxes 24a to 24f, the coins can be temporarily stored by being divided into a plurality of temporary storage portions 21a to 21f and stored in the plurality of storage boxes 24a to 24f. Therefore, it becomes possible to store coins so as to reduce the remaining capacity of the plurality of storage boxes 24a to 24f on average, and to store them efficiently. In addition, when the mixed counting mode is selected and a large amount of coins are received, the plurality of temporary storage units 21a to 21f can temporarily store coins until they are full, and the temporary storage units 21a to 21f. The number of transfers to the storage boxes 24a to 24f can be minimized, and the deposit process can be performed in a short time. Moreover, when the mixed counting mode is selected, as described above, coins can be stored so as to reduce the remaining capacity of the plurality of storage boxes 24a to 24f on average, so that the storage boxes 24a to 24f are stored. Due to one of the remaining capacities, it is possible to prevent a situation in which coins cannot be temporarily stored in the plurality of temporary storage units 21a to 21f to the maximum extent.

  In addition, when the mixed counting mode is selected in the display operation unit 29 and a large amount of coins is received, the control unit 28 stores a plurality of true coins from among the coins input to the separation supply unit 5. Depending on the remaining capacity that can be stored in each of the boxes 24a to 24f, gold is stored in any of the plurality of temporary storage units 21a to 21f so as to be stored by denomination mixing in order from the largest remaining capacity. It can be temporarily stored by seed mixing and stored in the corresponding ones of the storage boxes 24a to 24f by denomination mixing. Therefore, coins can be stored so that the remaining capacity of the plurality of storage boxes 24a to 24f is reduced on average. In addition, when the storage capacity of the storage boxes 24a to 24f is the same, since coins are stored in the storage boxes 24a to 24f on average at the time of collection, the individual storage boxes 24a to 24f Easy to carry.

  In addition, when the sorting / counting mode is selected on the display / operation unit 29, the control unit 28 counts the number of coins of each denomination and each stored withdrawal in the temporary storage units 21a to 21f. The total value of each denomination is obtained from the number of stored coins for withdrawal of each denomination stored in the sections 27a to 27f, and each of the total values corresponds to each of the stored withdrawal sections 27a to 27f. If the value is less than or equal to the storage determination value, the coins temporarily stored by denomination in each temporary storage unit 21a to 21f are transferred to each storage and withdrawal unit 27a to 27f by denomination, while any of the total values is When the storage determination value of the corresponding one of the storage / withdrawal units 27a to 27f is exceeded, the coins temporarily stored in the temporary storage units 21a to 21f by denomination are stored in the storage boxes 24a to 24f. To pass to the type That. Therefore, coins can be satisfactorily replenished in the storage / withdrawal units 27a to 27f, and it is not necessary to stop the processing in order to avoid overflow of the storage / withdrawal units 27a to 27f. And since it is a process suitable for the structure which moves several temporary storage parts 21a-21f integrally as mentioned above, it becomes possible to simplify an apparatus structure.

  Furthermore, when neither the mixed counting mode nor the sorting counting mode is selected by the display operation unit 29, the control unit 28, when the deposit operation is started by the display operation unit 29, each storage / withdrawal unit When it is determined that the number of stored coins for withdrawal of each money type stored in 27a to 27f exceeds the corresponding upper mode determination value, that is, to all the stored withdrawal units 27a to 27f. When the storage coins for withdrawal are sufficiently stored, the mixed counting mode is automatically selected. Alternatively, at the time when the deposit operation is started on the display operation unit 29, any one of the stored coins for withdrawal of each money type stored in each of the storage / withdrawal units 27a to 27f is supported. When it is determined that the value is less than the lower mode determination value, that is, when a sufficient amount of storage coins is not stored in any of the storage / dispensing units 27a to 27f, the sorting count is automatically performed. Select a mode. In any case, since the optimum mode is automatically set without selecting the mode, the burden on the operator can be reduced.

  In the above-described mixed counting mode, for example, when the storage boxes 24a to 24f have the same total storage capacity, the coins are repeatedly temporarily stored one by one in the plurality of temporary storage units 21a to 21f one by one. May be. That is, for example, every time the depositing process is performed, such as the temporary storage unit 21a, the temporary storage unit 21b, the temporary storage unit 21c, the temporary storage unit 21d, the temporary storage unit 21e, the temporary storage unit 21f, the temporary storage unit 21a,. Coins are temporarily stored on average in all temporary storage units 21a to 21f, and coins are stored on average in all storage boxes 24a to 24f. On the other hand, when the total storage capacities of the storage boxes 24a to 24f are different, the storage boxes 24a to 24f may be distributed at a rate corresponding to the storage capacity. For example, when the ratio of the total storage capacity is storage box 24a: other storage boxes 24b to 24f = 2: 1, temporary storage unit 21a, temporary storage unit 21a, temporary storage unit 21b, temporary storage unit 21c, and temporary storage unit .., 21d, temporary storage unit 21e, temporary storage unit 21f, temporary storage unit 21a, temporary storage unit 21a, temporary storage unit 21b, and so on. In this case, if there are a lot of coins to be processed, the temporary storage unit 21a will be filled up first, but after the temporary storage unit 21a is full, of course, the temporary storage unit 21a is not inserted. The remaining temporary storage unit 21b to the temporary storage unit 21f are equally distributed and temporarily stored as much as possible.

  Here, when calculating the amount of coins stored and the remaining capacity that can be stored in the storage boxes 24a to 24f, correction based on the difference in size may be performed instead of merely calculating the number of coins (for example, , Equivalent to two 1-yen coins for one 500-yen coin). Furthermore, when distributing to temporary storage part 21a-21f, you may make it accommodate, performing such correction | amendment. In addition, at least one of full detection of the temporary storage units 21a to 21f and full detection of the storage boxes 24a to 24f is not a count of the identification unit 11, but a full detection sensor that optically detects the full state of coins Further, the detection may be performed based on both the count value and the fullness detection sensor.

  Although illustration is omitted, each temporary storage part 21a-21f can be moved individually, and it corresponds to either one corresponding to storage and withdrawal part 27a-27f and corresponding one of storage boxes 24a-24f. It may be possible to selectively deliver coins. In other words, the temporary storage unit 21a can be moved individually, the coins can be selectively delivered to either the storage / withdrawal unit 27a or the storage box 24a, and the temporary storage unit 21b can be moved individually. It is possible to selectively transfer coins to any one of the storage / withdrawal unit 27b and the storage box 24b, and the temporary storage unit 21c can be moved individually to store the storage / withdrawal unit 27c and the storage box. It is possible to selectively transfer coins to any one of 24c, and the temporary storage unit 21d can be individually moved so that it can be selectively transferred to either the storage / withdrawal unit 27d or the storage box 24d. Any one of the storage / withdrawal unit 27e and the storage box 24e, allowing the temporary storage unit 21e to be moved individually. The coins can be selectively delivered to the user, the temporary storage unit 21f can be moved individually, and the coins can be selectively delivered to either the storage / withdrawal unit 27f or the storage box 24f. It is also good.

  When configured in this way, the control unit 28, when the selection counting mode is selected in the display operation unit 29, the number of coins of each denomination and each of the denominations temporarily stored in the denominations in the temporary storage units 21a to 21f. The total value of each money type is obtained from the number of stored coins for withdrawal of each money type stored in the storage / withdrawal units 27a to 27f, and the total value is stored in the corresponding one of the stored / withdrawal units 27a to 27f. For denominations below the value, the coins temporarily stored in the corresponding one of the temporary storage units 21a to 21f are transferred to the corresponding ones of the storage and withdrawal units 27a to 27f, while the total value is stored. For denominations that exceed the storage determination value of the corresponding one of the withdrawal units 27a to 27f, the coins temporarily stored in the corresponding one of the temporary storage units 21a to 21f are the corresponding ones of the storage boxes 24a to 24f. It is controlled so as to pass. That is, the total value of 1-yen coins is obtained by adding the number of 1-yen coins temporarily stored in the temporary storage unit 21a and the number of 1-yen coins stored in the storage / withdrawal unit 27a. If the value does not exceed the storage determination value set in advance for the storage / withdrawal unit 27a, the 1-yen coin temporarily stored in the temporary storage unit 21a is transferred to the storage / withdrawal unit 27a. Delivered to the storage box 24a. The total value of 5-yen coins is obtained by adding the number of 5-yen coins temporarily stored in the temporary storage unit 21b and the number of 5-yen coins stored in the storage / withdrawal unit 27b. If the storage judgment value preset for the storage / withdrawal unit 27b is not exceeded, the 5-yen coin temporarily stored in the temporary storage unit 21b is transferred to the storage / withdrawal unit 27b. Pass to 24b. The total value of 10 yen coins is obtained by adding the number of 10 yen coins temporarily stored in the temporary storage unit 21c and the number of 10 yen coins stored in the storage and withdrawal unit 27c. If the storage judgment value preset for the storage / withdrawal unit 27c is not exceeded, the 10-yen coin temporarily stored in the temporary storage unit 21c is transferred to the storage / withdrawal unit 27c. Pass to 24c. The total value of 50 yen coins is obtained by adding the number of 50 yen coins temporarily stored in the temporary storage unit 21d and the number of 50 yen coins stored in the storage and withdrawal unit 27d. If the storage determination value preset for the storage / withdrawal unit 27d is not exceeded, the 50-yen coin temporarily stored in the temporary storage unit 21d is transferred to the storage / withdrawal unit 27d. Pass to 24d. The total value of 100 yen coins is obtained by adding the number of 100 yen coins temporarily stored in the temporary storage unit 21e and the number of 100 yen coins stored in the storage and withdrawal unit 27e. If the storage determination value set in advance for the storage / withdrawal unit 27e is not exceeded, the 100-yen coin temporarily stored in the temporary storage unit 21e is transferred to the storage / withdrawal unit 27e. Pass to 24e. The total value of 500 yen coins is obtained by adding the number of 500 yen coins temporarily stored in the temporary storage unit 21f and the number of 500 yen coins stored in the storage / withdrawal unit 27f. If the storage determination value preset for the storage / withdrawal unit 27f is not exceeded, the 500 yen coin temporarily stored in the temporary storage unit 21f is transferred to the storage / withdrawal unit 27f. Pass to 24f. Thereby, coins can be further replenished to the storage / withdrawal units 27a to 27f.
