Due to the movement of the cam follower 59b in the direction approaching the third passage portion 44, the link arm 55 swings, and the pin 56b at the tip thereof is moved to the side opposite to the third passage portion 44. As a result, the pin 56b The connected shutter 15b slides against the urging force of the spring 63b to open. Thereby, coins of all denominations can be dropped at the sorting hole 14b.

  When the motor 72 further slides the slide member 67 to the downstream side in the transport direction of the third passage portion 44 from this state, as shown in FIG. 3, the link arm located in the long closed position guide groove 78a. The cam follower 59a of 55a is guided by the intermediate guide groove 77a and reaches the open position guide groove 76a. The movement of the cam follower 59a in the direction approaching the third passage portion 44 causes the link arm 55a to swing and move the pin 56a at the tip thereof to the side opposite to the third passage portion 44. As a result, the pin 56a The connected shutter 15a slides against the urging force of the spring 63a to open. Thereby, coins of all denominations can be dropped through the sorting hole 14a. That is, when the slide member 67 slides in the opposite direction from the closed state of the shutters 15a and 15b, the shutter 15b is opened first, and then the shutter 15a is opened.

  As described above, one slide member 67 has cam portions 75a and 75b corresponding to the plurality of shutters 15a and 15b, respectively, and the plurality of shutters 15a and 15b are slid at different timings by the cam portions 75a and 75b when sliding. It will be.

Next, the control content of the control part 26 of 1st Embodiment is demonstrated.
Here, at the start of business, the coin depositing machine 1 sets all the storage boxes 24a, 24b, 24c to an empty state and resets the deposit data of coins of each denomination stored in the control unit 26 to 0. Thus, the control unit 26 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 26 memorize | stores the storage amount of each coin of each storage box 24a, 24b, 24c from the count result of the identification part 11, and the distribution result of distribution part 13a, 13b, 13c. Further, at the start of work, the control unit 26 positions the slide member 67 closest to the downstream side in the transport direction of the third passage portion 44 as shown in FIG. 3, thereby opening the cam groove 76a of the cam portion 75a. Then, the cam follower 59a of the link arm 55a is positioned to open the shutter 15a, and the cam follower 59b of the link arm 55b is positioned to the open position cam groove 76b of the cam portion 75b to open the shutter 15b.

  When one depositing process is started in the coin depositing machine 1, the control unit 26 identifies the identifying unit 11 among the coins put into the hopper 6 of the separation supply unit 5 by denomination mixing in the one depositing process. All reject coins that are identified as unacceptable based on the results are returned to the reject box 20 by the reject unit 12, while all the true coins that are identified as acceptable are temporarily kept mixed in denomination as much as possible. The distribution units 13a, 13b, and 13c are controlled so as to be temporarily stored by denomination mixing in the order of the storage units 21a, 21b, and 21c.

  That is, the control unit 26, as much as possible, recognizes a true coin that is identified as being acceptable based on the identification result of the identification unit 11 among the coins that have been inserted into the hopper 6 of the separation supply unit 5 in this one deposit process. While the denomination is being mixed, the mixture is temporarily stored in the temporary storage unit 21a from the sorting hole 14a in which the shutter 15a of the most upstream sorting unit 13a is opened. That is, as described above, the slide member 67 is positioned most downstream in the conveyance direction of the third passage portion 44, whereby the cam follower 59a of the link arm 55a is positioned in the open position cam groove 76a of the cam portion 75a. 15a is opened, and the cam follower 59b of the link arm 55b is positioned in the open position cam groove 76b of the cam portion 75b so that the shutter 15b is opened, so that coins can be dropped at all the sorting holes 14a, 14b, 14c. Therefore, the coins of the third passage portion 44 are dropped to the temporary storage portion 21a from the most upstream sorting hole 14a among the dropable ones. When 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 unit 21a, When the operator inputs an approval operation to the display operation unit 27, the control unit 26 temporarily stores the coins temporarily stored in the temporary storage unit 21a. By opening the bottom of the part 21a, all the denominations are stored in the storage box 24a. On the other hand, when the cancel operation is input to the display operation unit 27 by the operator, the control unit 26 enables the temporary storage units 21a, 21b, and 21c to be pulled out from the apparatus main body 2. Therefore, the operator pulls out the temporary storage unit. Receive coins from 21a.

  On the other hand, the true coins identified as acceptable based on the identification result of the identification unit 11 among the coins inserted into the hopper 6 of the separation supply unit 5 in the one deposit process described above are the full capacity of the temporary storage unit 21a. As shown in FIG. 4, the control unit 26 temporarily stops the conveyance of the coins by the separation supply unit 5 and drives the motor 72 to position the slide member 67 at the intermediate position. Then, the cam follower 59a of the link arm 55a is positioned in the closed position cam groove 78a of the cam portion 75a to close the shutter 15a. At this time, the cam follower 59b of the link arm 55b is positioned in the open position cam groove 76b of the cam portion 75b, and the shutter 15b is in the open state. As a result, coins cannot be dropped through the sorting holes 14a and can be dropped through the sorting holes 14b and 14c. Note that the timing of temporarily stopping the conveyance of the coins by the separation supply unit 5 is, for example, when entering the temporary storage unit 21a, the last coin having the full amount passes through the coin sensor 16a and falls into the sorting hole 14a, and This is the timing before the next coin passes through the coin sensor 16a.

  Then, when the slide member 67 is stopped at the intermediate position, the control unit 26 resumes the conveyance of coins by the separation supply unit 5. Then, since the coins cannot be dropped through the sorting holes 14a and can be dropped through the sorting holes 14b and 14c, the coins in the third passage portion 44 fall into the temporary storage unit 21b from the most upstream sorting hole 14b. I will let you. The control unit 26 temporarily stores, as much as possible, 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 depositing process from the sorting hole 14b. It is dropped in the part 21b and temporarily stored in the temporary storage part 21b. And when 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 depositing process are temporarily stored in the temporary storage units 21a and 21b, When the counting result of the money type and the total amount are displayed on the display operation unit 27 and an approval operation is input to the display operation unit 27 by the operator, the control unit 26 temporarily stores them in the temporary storage units 21a and 21b. All coins are stored in the storage boxes 24a and 24b with the denomination mixed by opening the bottoms of the temporary storage portions 21a and 21b. On the other hand, when the cancel operation is input to the display operation unit 27 by the operator, the control unit 26 enables the temporary storage units 21a, 21b, and 21c to be pulled out from the apparatus main body 2. Therefore, the operator pulls out the temporary storage unit. Coins are received from 21a and 21b.

  On the other hand, the true coins identified as 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 the one deposit process described above are stored in the temporary storage units 21a and 21b. When the full amount is temporarily stored, the control unit 26 temporarily stops the coin conveyance by the separation supply unit 5 and drives the motor 72 to position the slide member 67 on the upstream side in the conveyance direction of the third passage unit 44. As a result, as shown in FIG. 5, the cam follower 59a of the link arm 55a is positioned in the closed position cam groove 78a of the cam portion 75a, and the shutter 15a is in the closed state, so that the closed position cam groove 78b of the cam portion 75b is closed. The cam follower 59b of the link arm 55b is positioned to close the shutter 15b. As a result, coins cannot be dropped through the sorting holes 14a and 14b, and can be dropped through the sorting holes 14c. The timing of temporarily stopping the conveyance of the coins by the separation supply unit 5 is, for example, when the temporary storage unit 21b is entered, the last coin having the full amount passes through the coin sensor 16b and falls into the sorting hole 14b, and This is the timing before the next coin passes through the coin sensor 16b.

  Then, when the slide member 67 is stopped on the upstream side in the transport direction of the third passage portion 44, the control unit 26 restarts the transport of coins by the separation supply unit 5. Then, since the coins cannot be dropped through the sorting holes 14a and 14b and can be dropped through the sorting holes 14c, the coins in the third passage portion 44 are dropped from the dropable sorting holes 14c to the temporary storage unit 21c. The control unit 26 temporarily stores, as much as possible, 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 depositing process from the sorting hole 14c. It is dropped in the part 21c and temporarily stored in the temporary storage part 21c. And when 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 21c, When the counting result of the money type and the total amount are displayed on the display operation unit 27 and an approval operation is input to the display operation unit 27 by the operator, the control unit 26 temporarily stores them in the temporary storage units 21a to 21c. All the coins are stored in the storage boxes 24a to 24c with the denomination mixed by opening the bottoms of the temporary storage units 21a to 21c. On the other hand, when the cancel operation is input to the display operation unit 27 by the operator, the control unit 26 enables the temporary storage units 21a, 21b, and 21c to be pulled out from the apparatus main body 2. Therefore, the operator pulls out the temporary storage unit. Coins are received from 21a to 21c.

  According to the coin depositing machine 1 of the first embodiment described above, the plurality of sorting parts 13a to 13c that sort coins are cams provided on the slide member 67 by sliding one slide member 67. The portions 75a and 75b slide the shutters 15a and 15b corresponding to the respective portions at different timings. In this way, by performing the closing operation by sliding the shutters 15a and 15b at different timings, coins can be distributed from the plurality of sorting holes 14a to 14c. As described above, since the plurality of shutters 15a and 15b can be slid at different timings by the plurality of cam portions 75a and 75b by the sliding of the single slide member 67, the coins can be distributed, so that the cost can be reduced.

  In addition, link arms 55a and 55b are swingably connected to the shutters 15a and 15b, respectively, and the cam followers 59a and 59b provided on the link arms 55a and 55b are moved by the cam portions 75a and 75b. The shutters 15a and 15b can be slid greatly with respect to the small slide amount of the slide member 67.

  Further, since the slide member 67 slides to one side to sequentially close the shutters 15a and 15b from the upstream one, as described above, all the shutters 15a and 15b are opened, and the most upstream sorting hole is formed. After guiding the coin from 14a to the corresponding temporary storage portion 21a by denomination mixing, the slide member 67 is slid to one side, the upstream shutter 15a is closed, and from the second sorting hole 14b from the most upstream side. The coin is guided to the corresponding temporary storage part 21b by denomination mixing, and then the slide member 67 is further slid to one side, the shutters 15a and 15b are closed, and the coin is denominated from the most downstream sorting hole 14c. The distribution of guiding to the corresponding temporary storage portion 21c by mixing can be performed in order from the upstream sorting hole 14a. Therefore, when coins are distributed to the temporary storage units 21a to 21c by denomination mixing, the coins can be distributed well.

  Moreover, when the shutters 15a and 15b are closed, the conveyance of the coins by the separation supply unit 5 is temporarily stopped, so that the coins are prevented from being sandwiched between the shutters 15a and 15b that are closed and the sorting holes 14a and 14b. it can.

  Next, a coin deposit machine according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described below with a focus on differences from the first embodiment. Note that a description of the same parts as those in the first embodiment will be omitted.

The second embodiment is different from the first embodiment only in the control contents.
That is, in the coin deposit machine 1 of the second embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, the control unit 26 positions the slide member 67 most upstream in the transport direction of the third passage unit 44 at the start of business. Then, the cam follower 59a of the link arm 55a is positioned in the closed position cam groove 78a of the cam portion 75a to close the shutter 15a, and the cam follower 59b of the link arm 55b is positioned in the closed position cam groove 78b of the cam portion 75b. 15b is closed.

  When one depositing process is started in the coin depositing machine 1, the control unit 26 is identified as being acceptable among the coins put into the hopper 6 of the separation supply unit 5 by the denomination mixing in this one depositing process. The distribution units 13a, 13b, and 13c are controlled so that all true coins are temporarily stored in the order of the temporary storage units 21c, 21b, and 21a in the order of the denominations as much as possible.

  The control unit 26, as much as possible, recognizes, as much as possible, the true coins that are identified as being acceptable based on the identification result of the identification unit 11 among the coins that have been inserted into the hopper 6 of the separation supply unit 5 in this one depositing process. The seeds are temporarily stored in the temporary storage part 21c through the sorting hole 14c of the distribution part 13c with the seed mixture. That is, as described above, the slide member 67 is positioned most upstream in the conveyance direction of the third passage portion 44, so that the link arm 55a is inserted into the closed position cam groove 78a of the cam portion 75a as shown in FIG. By positioning the cam follower 59a and closing the shutter 15a, and positioning the cam follower 59b of the link arm 55b in the closed position cam groove 78b of the cam portion 75b and closing the shutter 15b, the most downstream sorting hole 14c. Since the coin can be dropped only by this, the coin of the third passage portion 44 is dropped from the sorting hole 14c to the temporary storage portion 21c. When 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 unit 21c, When the operator inputs an approval operation to the display operation unit 27, the control unit 26 temporarily stores the coins temporarily stored in the temporary storage unit 21c. By opening the bottom of the part 21c, all the denominations are stored in the storage box 24c. On the other hand, when the cancel operation is input to the display operation unit 27 by the operator, the control unit 26 enables the temporary storage units 21a, 21b, and 21c to be pulled out from the apparatus main body 2. Therefore, the operator pulls out the temporary storage unit. Receive coins from 21c.

  On the other hand, the true coins identified as acceptable based on the identification result of the identification unit 11 among the coins inserted into the hopper 6 of the separation supply unit 5 in the one deposit process described above are the full capacity of the temporary storage unit 21c. The control unit 26 drives the motor 72 to position the slide member 67 at the intermediate position while continuing the conveyance of the coins by the separation supply unit 5 without temporarily stopping. As shown in FIG. 4, the cam follower 59b of the link arm 55b is positioned in the open position cam groove 76b of the cam portion 75b to open the shutter 15b. At this time, the cam follower 59a of the link arm 55a is positioned in the closed position cam groove 78a of the cam portion 75a, and the shutter 15a is closed. Thereby, coins can be dropped through the sorting holes 14b and 14c. In addition, the timing which slides the slide member 67 is a timing which the last coin which makes this full amount is detected by the coin sensor 16c, for example, if it enters into the temporary storage part 21c.

  As described above, coins cannot be dropped through the sorting holes 14a and can be dropped through the sorting holes 14b and 14c, so that coins in the third passage portion 44 can be transferred from the most upstream sorting hole 14b to the temporary storage portion 21b. It will be dropped. The control unit 26 temporarily stores, as much as possible, 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 depositing process from the sorting hole 14b. It is dropped in the part 21b and temporarily stored in the temporary storage part 21b. And when 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 21c and 21b, When the counting result of the money type and the total amount are displayed on the display operation unit 27 and an approval operation is input to the display operation unit 27 by the operator, the control unit 26 temporarily stores them in the temporary storage units 21c and 21b. All the coins are stored in the storage boxes 24c and 24b while the denominations are mixed by opening the bottoms of the temporary storage portions 21c and 21b. On the other hand, when the cancel operation is input to the display operation unit 27 by the operator, the control unit 26 enables the temporary storage units 21a, 21b, and 21c to be pulled out from the apparatus main body 2. Therefore, the operator pulls out the temporary storage unit. Coins are received from 21c and 21b.

  On the other hand, the true coins identified as 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 the one depositing process described above are stored in the temporary storage units 21c and 21b. When the full amount is temporarily stored, the control unit 26 drives the motor 72 to convey the slide member 67 to the third passage unit 44 while continuing the conveyance of the coins by the separation supply unit 5 without stopping. As shown in FIG. 3, the cam follower 59b of the link arm 55b is positioned in the open position cam groove 76b of the cam portion 75b to keep the shutter 15b open, as shown in FIG. The cam follower 59a of the link arm 55a is positioned in the position cam groove 76a to open the shutter 15a. Thereby, coins can be dropped through the sorting holes 14a to 14c. In addition, the timing which slides the slide member 67 is a timing which the last coin which makes this full amount is detected by the coin sensor 16b, for example, if it enters into the temporary storage part 21b.

  As described above, since the coins can be dropped at the sorting holes 14a to 14c, the coins of the third passage portion 44 are dropped from the most upstream sorting hole 14a among the dropable coins to the temporary storage unit 21a. The control unit 26 temporarily stores, as much as possible, 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. It is dropped in the part 21a and temporarily stored in the temporary storage part 21a. And when 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 21c, When the counting result of the money type and the total amount are displayed on the display operation unit 27 and an approval operation is input to the display operation unit 27 by the operator, the control unit 26 temporarily stores them in the temporary storage units 21a to 21c. All the coins are stored in the storage boxes 24a to 24c with the denomination mixed by opening the bottoms of the temporary storage units 21a to 21c. On the other hand, when the cancel operation is input to the display operation unit 27 by the operator, the control unit 26 enables the temporary storage units 21a, 21b, and 21c to be pulled out from the apparatus main body 2. Therefore, the operator pulls out the temporary storage unit. Coins are received from 21a to 21c.

  According to the coin deposit machine 1 of the second embodiment described above, the coins can be distributed from the plurality of sorting holes 14a to 14c by performing the opening operation by sliding the shutters 15a and 15b at different timings. As described above, since the plurality of shutters 15a and 15b can be slid at different timing by the plurality of cam portions 75a and 75b by the sliding of the single slide member 67, the coins can be distributed. Can be reduced.

  Further, the slide member 67 slides to one side to open the plurality of shutters 15a and 15b in order from the downstream side. Therefore, as described above, all the shutters 15a and 15b are closed and the most downstream side is opened. After guiding the coin from the sorting hole 14c to the corresponding temporary storage portion 21c by denomination mixing, the slide member 67 is slid to one side, and the shutter 15b provided in the second sorting hole 14b from the most downstream side is opened. The coin is guided from the second sorting hole 14b from the most downstream side to the corresponding temporary storage portion 21b by denomination mixing, and then the slide member 67 is further slid to one side to enter the sorting hole 14a on the most upstream side. The shutter 15a provided is opened, and the coin is guided from the most upstream sorting hole 14a to the corresponding temporary storage unit 21a by denomination mixing. Only a it can be carried out from the downstream side of the sorting hole 14c in this order. Therefore, when coins are distributed to the temporary storage units 21a to 21c by denomination mixing, the coins can be distributed well.

  Further, since the slide member 67 can sort the coins by sequentially opening the shutters 15b and 15a as described above, the coins are sandwiched between the shutters 15a and 15b and the sorting holes 14a and 14b. Therefore, when the shutters 15a and 15b are slid, the conveyance of the coins by the separation supply unit 5 is continued without being stopped. Therefore, the time required for distribution can be shortened.

  In the first embodiment described above, the temporary storage unit is configured to store as many coins as possible in the temporary storage units 21a, 21b, and 21c in order to perform processing quickly when a large amount of coins is deposited. For example, in the second embodiment, the coins are temporarily stored in the order of 21a, 21b, and 21c until they are full as much as possible, and in the second embodiment, the coins are temporarily stored in the order of the temporary storage units 21c, 21b, and 21a as much as possible. As described above, for example, after the shutters 15a and 15b are opened and the coins are temporarily stored in the temporary storage unit 21a and then stored in the storage box 24a, the storage box 24a becomes full. When only the shutter 15a is closed and the subsequent coins are temporarily stored in the temporary storage unit 21b, then stored in the storage box 24b. When the storage box 24b becomes full by repeating this operation, the shutters 15a and 15b are then closed, the subsequent coins are temporarily stored in the temporary storage unit 21c, and then stored in the storage box 24c. May be repeated. Also in this case, when the shutters 15a and 15b are closed, the conveyance of the coins by the separation supply unit 5 is temporarily stopped.

  In this case, conversely, after the shutters 15a and 15b are closed and the coins are temporarily stored in the temporary storage unit 21c and then stored in the storage box 24c, the storage box 24c becomes full. When only the shutter 15b is opened and the subsequent coins are temporarily stored in the temporary storage unit 21b and then stored in the storage box 24b. When the storage box 24b becomes full, the shutter 15a 15b may be opened and the subsequent coins may be temporarily stored in the temporary storage unit 21a and then stored in the storage box 24a. Also in this case, when the shutters 15a and 15b are opened, the conveyance of the coins by the separation supply unit 5 is continued without being stopped.

  In addition, in order to perform processing quickly when a large amount of coins is deposited, when storing as many coins as possible in the temporary storage units 21a, 21b, 21c, the temporary storage units 21a, 21b, 21c The order of temporary storage can be changed with respect to the above. For example, the order of temporary storage in the temporary storage units 21a, 21b, and 21c can be changed according to the remaining capacity that can be stored in the storage boxes 24a to 24c at the start of the deposit process. For example, first, as much as possible coins are temporarily stored in the temporary storage unit corresponding to the storage box 24a to 24c having the largest remaining capacity, and if necessary, the remaining capacity next to the storage boxes 24a to 24c. In the temporary storage unit corresponding to the one with the largest remaining amount, the next possible coin is temporarily stored, and if necessary, the temporary storage unit corresponding to the one with the smallest remaining capacity among the storage boxes 24a to 24c is finally stored. For example, temporarily store as many coins as possible. In this case, when both the shutters 15a and 15b are opened, the separation supply unit 5 is continued without being stopped. When the shutters 15a and 15b are closed, the separation supply unit 5 is controlled to be temporarily stopped. .

  Here, at least one of the full detection of the temporary storage units 21a, 21b, and 21c and the full detection of the storage boxes 24a, 24b, and 24c is not detected by the discriminating unit 11, but the full state of the coins is optically detected. The full detection sensor may be provided, and detection may be performed based on both the count value and the full detection sensor.
