BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a circulation type coin depositing and dispensing machine for performing coin depositing and dispensing processing.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a circulation type coin depositing and dispensing machine, for example, as described in JP-A-64-76185,
Deposited coins and replenishment coins fed out of the refillable collection cassette that can be attached to and detached from the machine are sent to the storage / ejection section by type through the identification / classification passage, and identification and classification of overflow coins when the storage / ejection section by type is full. The overflow coin sorting section of the passage classifies the coins into the overflow coin storage section via the passage switching member.

In addition, coins discharged from each type of storing and discharging section at the time of dispensing are conveyed to a payout port through a first conveyor and a second conveyor. At the time of collection, coins ejected from each type of storage / ejection unit and coins fed out of the overflow coin storage unit are sent to the identification and classification passage, and the overflow coin classification unit of the identification and classification passage and the replenishment collection cassette via the passage switching member. They are stored.

[0004] The supply side of the replenishment and collection cassette and the supply side of the overflow coin storage section are opposed to each other with an interval therebetween, and a discharge chute portion is provided therebetween. In addition, coins to be withdrawn from the overflow coin storage unit are discharged to the second conveyor through the discharge chute, and are sent to the identification and classification passage through the second conveyor.

[0005]

Conventionally, withdrawal processing was prohibited when the refill / recovery cassette was pulled out, and it was impossible to pull out the refill / collection cassette during the withdrawal processing.

This is because the following problem arises if the replenishment and recovery cassette is pulled out even during the dispensing process.

First, when the refill / collection cassette is pulled out, an open area is formed on the side of the refill / collection cassette in the discharge chute portion.
When the coins are ejected from the conveyor to the second conveyor, some of the dispensed coins enter the ejection chute and spill out from the open area of the ejection chute into the mounting space for the replenishment and recovery cassette.

Next, the passage switching member is provided to ensure that coins are stored in the overflow coin storage unit or the replenishment and collection cassette without spilling coins, and that switching to one of the coins is surely performed without being caught by coins. It is configured to take a posture in which a part of the passage switching member enters into the replenishment / recovery cassette or the overflow coin storage unit. When the replenishment and collection cassette is mounted on the machine, particularly when collecting coins in the replenishment and collection cassette, the passage switching member collects the collected coins in the replenishment and collection cassette. It has entered the cassette. In this situation, when the unlocking operation for unlocking the refill / recovery cassette to the machine is performed as a stage before the replenishment / recovery cassette is pulled out, the passage switching member is moved to the neutral position (the storage side for the refill / recovery cassette and the storage for the overflow coin storage unit). (Intermediate position on the side), a part of the passage switching member is removed from inside the replenishment and recovery cassette, and the replenishment and recovery cassette can be pulled out. In this situation, when the deposit processing is performed, even if the overflow coins at the time of the deposit processing are discharged toward the overflow coin storage section, the passage switching member is not switched to the overflow coin storage section side, and the overflow coin storage is performed. There is a problem that it is not stored in the unit.

The present invention has been made in view of such a point, and provides a circulating coin depositing and dispensing machine capable of depositing and dispensing without being affected by pulling out a replenishment and recovery cassette from the body. It is intended to do so.

[0010]

According to the present invention, coins and replenishment coins fed from a replenishment / recovery cassette 28 detachable from the machine 1 are fed to the storage / discharge unit 21 by type through the identification and classification passage 8. The overflow coins when the type storing and dispensing section 21 is full are sorted by the overflow coin sorting section 16 of the identification / sorting passage 8 and stored in the overflow coin storing section 27 via the passage switching member 29. The coins ejected from the storage and ejection section 21 are transferred to the first conveyor 25 and the second

And sends it to the identification and classification passage 8.

The identification section 13 performs identification in the identification and classification passage 8. Here, when a rejected coin such as a fake coin is identified, the corresponding rejected coin is separated from the passage by the rejected coin sorting unit 14 and returned to the receiving frame 3 through the return conveyor 15. At this time, the receiving frame 3 has returned to a state in which coins can be received.

The coins identified as genuine coins by the identification unit 13 are transported through the identification and classification passage 8 as they are, are sorted in shape by the sorting slot 17 of the denomination, fall from the passage, and are temporarily stored by the type.
Is temporarily held for each denomination.

If the denomination of the corresponding denomination is identified by the identification unit 13 in the case where a denomination of a certain denomination in the storage / discharge unit 21 by type has been detected, the corresponding overflow denomination is determined. It is separated from the passage by the classification unit 16, and is temporarily stored in the type-specific temporary storage unit 18 in a separated state from other denominations.

After all the deposited coins have been sorted, the identification result is displayed to obtain customer approval. If the payment is approved, the temporary holding drum 19 of the type-specific temporary holding unit 18 is rotated, and the coins held for each denomination are stored in the type storing and dispensing unit 21 for each denomination.

The overflow coin is discharged to the chute 20. At this time, the passage switching member driving means 53, together with the driving member 55, the rod 49 and the support shaft 44,

The dispensed coin is moved to a shielding position for restricting the dispensed coin from entering the dispensing chute, and the moving means switches the passage switching member to the coin storage position in the overflow coin storage. Therefore, at the time of deposit processing, when storing overflow coins,
The coins can be reliably stored in the overflow coin storage unit via the passage switching member positioned in the coin storage position in the overflow coin storage unit. At the time of withdrawal processing, when coins are discharged from the first conveyor to the second conveyor,
Blocking coins from jumping into the discharge chute with a shielding plate,
It is possible to prevent coins from spilling into the mounting space of the replenishment and recovery cassette through the discharge chute. Therefore, it is possible to provide a circulating coin dispensing and dispensing machine capable of performing a depositing process and a dispensing process without being affected by the removal of the replenishment and recovery cassette from the body.
