DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a coin processing apparatus used for various automatic service equipment such as automatic vending, and more particularly, to a coin processing apparatus.
The present invention relates to a coin processing device in which the maximum number of coins to be inserted in one selling operation is limited and the maximum number of coin tubes to be stored can be set.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, in coin processing apparatuses of various automatic service equipments such as automatic vending machines, coins inserted from a coin slot are discriminated by a coin discriminating section into true coins, counterfeit coins and genuine coins. Performs the identification of the denomination, and thereafter guides the denomination to the true / false coin sorting section, and sorts the true coin and the false coin.

[0003] Here, the coin discriminating section is constituted as an electronic discriminating section for electronically discriminating the authenticity and denomination of a coin to be inserted by using a coin detecting coil, for example. The part is composed of a true / false coin sorting lever, and a true / false coin sorting solenoid that drives the true / false coin sorting lever,
When the coin discrimination section identifies that the inserted coin is a genuine coin, for example, it turns on the genuine / counterfeit coin sorting solenoid, and drives the genuine / counterfeit coin sorting lever toward the true coin passage to discriminate the coin. The coin that has passed through the section is guided to the specie passage, and if the inserted coin is identified as a fake coin by the coin identification section, the fake / fake sorting lever is kept off and the fake / fake sorting lever is turned off. It operates in a non-drive state, that is, displaced to the return passage side, and guides the coin passing through the coin identification unit to the coin return port via the return passage.

The coins guided to the true coin passage are further sorted by denomination, and coins used as change are accumulated in the coin tube by denomination.

By the way, in such a coin processing apparatus, the maximum number of coins that can be inserted from a coin insertion slot in one selling operation (coin processing) can be set for each denomination. In addition, for each coin tube, the maximum number of accumulated coins can be set corresponding to each coin tube.

The reason why the maximum number of coins that can be inserted from the coin slot in one selling operation can be set for each denomination is that the number of coins inserted from the coin slot is counted reliably. In one selling operation, coins inserted exceeding this set maximum number of coins are treated as counterfeit coins, and are sorted to the return passage side by the true and false coin sorting section, Returned to the coin return slot.

The reason that the maximum number of coins can be set corresponding to each coin tube is that the change is surely paid out, and the coins are distributed to each coin tube exceeding the maximum number of coins. Coins are guided to a safe without being stored in a coin tube. That is, the number of coins accumulated in each coin tube is always limited to the maximum number of coins set in correspondence with each coin tube.

[0008]

By the way, in such a coin processing apparatus, the maximum number of coins corresponding to a coin tube for storing coins of a certain denomination is set at one time corresponding to the denomination. In the selling operation, the value is set to a value equal to or less than the maximum number of coins that can be inserted, and in this state, coins of this certain denomination are inserted from the coin insertion slot not less than the maximum number of coins, and a coin return operation for returning the inserted coin is performed here Only the maximum number of coins can be stored in the coin tube that stores coins of this denomination, and coins exceeding this maximum number have been guided into the safe, so they are inserted from the coin slot. Inconveniently, the same number of coins cannot be returned.

For example, the maximum number of coins stored in a 10-yen coin tube for storing 10-yen coins is set to 20,
10 coins can be inserted from a coin slot in one selling operation
When the maximum number of inserted yen coins is set to 30, and considering that 21 or more 10-yen coins are inserted from the coin insertion slot, the insertion of 10-yen coins from this coin insertion opening When the accumulated number of 10-yen coins in the yen coin tube reaches 20, 10-yen coins inserted from the coin slot after that will be guided to the safe without being accumulated in the 10-yen coin tube. In this state, if a coin return operation for returning the inserted coin is performed, since only 20 coins are stored in the 10-yen coin tube, a 10-yen coin exceeding this 20 cannot be returned. Will be.

Therefore, as a conventional technique for solving such inconvenience, a configuration disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. HEI 1-112392 is known. In the configuration disclosed in JP-A-1-112392, the maximum number of stored coins corresponding to a certain coin tube can be inserted in one selling operation set in accordance with the denomination corresponding to the coin tube. If the value is set to a value less than the maximum
Even if the number of coins stored in the coin tube reaches the maximum number of coins set corresponding to the coin tube in the number of sales operations, the coins of the denomination corresponding to the coin tube are not guided to the safe and the coins are not returned. It is configured to accumulate in the tube, which causes inconvenience when a coin return operation for returning the inserted coin is performed, that is, it is impossible to return the same number of coins as the coin inserted from the coin insertion slot We try to eliminate inconvenience.

However, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. H11-11239 / 1999
In the configuration disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 2, the maximum accumulated number of coins corresponding to a certain coin tube is equal to or less than the maximum number of coins that can be inserted in one selling operation set according to the denomination corresponding to the coin tube. When the coins are set to the value of, the number of coins exceeding the maximum number of coins set for the coin tube may be accumulated in the coin tube. There is a problem that the number of coins exceeding the number of accumulated coins must be collected, and the operation of collecting the coins becomes very troublesome.

[0012] Therefore, the present invention provides that the maximum accumulated number of coins corresponding to a certain coin tube is equal to or less than the maximum number of coins that can be inserted in one selling operation set according to the denomination corresponding to the coin tube. It is an object of the present invention to provide a coin processing device that can easily perform a coin collecting operation even when the coin is set to.

[0013]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention sets coin storage means for storing coins inserted from a coin insertion slot, and sets a maximum number of coins to be stored in the coin storage means. The maximum accumulated number of coins setting means for setting the maximum number of inserted coins in one coin processing for permitting the coin to be inserted through the coin insertion slot. When the maximum number of sheets set in the step is set to a value smaller than the maximum number of sheets set by the maximum number of sheets setting means, the maximum number of sheets set by the maximum number of sheets setting means is changed to the maximum number of sheets to be inserted. A maximum number of coins resetting means for resetting to the maximum number of coins set by the setting means, and the number of coins stored in the coin storing means is reset by the maximum number of coins resetting means. When the set maximum number of accumulated coins has been reached, the first coin sorting means for guiding coins inserted thereafter to the safe, and the number of coins in one coin processing inserted from the coin insertion slot, When the maximum number of coins set by the maximum number of coins setting unit has been reached, there is provided a second coin sorting unit for returning coins inserted thereafter to a coin return slot.

The present invention also provides a coin sorting means for sorting coins inserted from a coin slot into denominations, and a denomination coin storage means for accumulating coins sorted by the coin sorting means in denominations. Means for setting the maximum number of denominations to be stored in the denomination coin storage means, and means for setting the maximum number of denominations that can be inserted from the coin insertion slot in one coin processing. In the coin processing apparatus provided with the maximum number of coins set by type, the maximum accumulated number of coins set by the maximum number of coins set by denomination is the maximum number of coins set by the maximum number of coins set by the coin type. If the value is set to a value smaller than the maximum number of coins set by the denomination maximum accumulation number setting means, the maximum accumulation number of coins set by the denomination maximum storage number setting means is set to A denomination-maximum-deposited-number resetting means for respectively resetting to a different maximum insertion number, and a denomination-maximum denomination reset by the denomination-maximum-stored-number resetting means, wherein the number of coins stored in the denomination-type coin storage means When the number of accumulated coins has been reached, first coin sorting means for guiding coins of the denomination inserted to the safe side, and the number of coins of each coin type in one coin processing inserted from the coin insertion slot If the maximum number of denominations set by the denomination maximum insertion number setting means has been reached, then the second coin sorting means for returning the coins of the denomination that has been inserted to the coin return slot is provided. It is characterized by doing.

[0015]

In the present invention, when the number of sheets set by the maximum number of sheets setting unit is set to a value smaller than the number of sheets set by the maximum number of sheets setting unit, the maximum number of sheets resetting unit sets The maximum number of coins set by the maximum number of coins setting means is reset to the maximum number of coins set by the maximum number of coins setting means, and the first coin allocating means is provided for the coins stored in the coin accumulating means. When the number of coins reaches the maximum number of accumulated coins reset by the maximum accumulated coin number resetting means, the coins inserted thereafter are guided to the safe side, and the second coin sorting means outputs 1 coin inserted from the coin insertion slot. When the number of coins in the first coin processing reaches the maximum number of coins set by the maximum number of coins setting unit, the coins inserted thereafter are returned to the coin return slot.

Further, in the present invention, the maximum number of denominations set by the denomination maximum storage number setting means is set to a value smaller than the maximum number of denominations set by the denomination maximum insertion number setting means. In this case, the denomination maximum storage number resetting unit sets the denomination maximum storage number set by the denomination maximum storage number setting unit to the denomination maximum insertion number set by the denomination maximum insertion number setting unit. If the number of coins stored in the denomination coin storage means reaches the maximum denomination storage number reset by the denomination maximum storage number resetting means, respectively, Then, the coin of the denomination inserted thereafter is guided to the safe side, and the second coin allocating means determines that the number of denominations of coins in one coin processing inserted from the coin slot is the maximum number of denominations. By setting means If it reaches the constant has been denomination maximum insertion number, returns the subsequently submitted the corresponding denomination coins into the coin return slot.

As a result, there is no possibility that coins exceeding the maximum number of coins or the maximum number of coins of each denomination are accumulated in the coin accumulating means or the denomination coin accumulating means. There is no need to collect coins in the type coin storage means, and labor saving of coin collection work can be achieved.In one coin processing, more than the maximum number of coins or the maximum number of coins can be inserted. Since the used coins are returned to the coin return slot, there is no inconvenience caused by a large amount of coins of a specific denomination.

By the way, in the above embodiment, the maximum number of coins set by the maximum number of coins setting unit 7 shown in FIG. Is set to a number smaller than the maximum number of coins set by the maximum number of coins setting unit 6 in correspondence with the coin D of the denomination corresponding to the denomination, and in this state, the coin D is sold in one selling operation. Assuming that the coins are inserted more than the maximum number of coins, the coins D inserted exceeding the maximum number of coins are guided to the cash box side by the denomination sorting unit 140. When the coin return operation for returning the coin is performed, there is only the maximum number of coins stored in the coin tube 210-4, so the same number of coins as the coin D inserted from the coin insertion slot is used. You will not be able return the currency D.

Therefore, in this embodiment, if the maximum storage number set in the maximum storage number setting section 7 is set to a number smaller than the maximum insertion number set in the maximum insertion number setting section 6, The maximum storage number set by the maximum storage number setting section 7 is reset to the maximum insertion number set by the maximum insertion number setting section 6.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.
This will be further described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

FIG. 4 shows the operation of the coin mech unit 1 when the power is turned on in the vending machine of this embodiment. In FIG. 4, when the power is turned on, first, predetermined initial processing is executed (step 501).
Communication is performed via the bus line 4 of the vending machine controller 5 (step 504), and the maximum number of sheets set in the maximum number of sheets setting section 7 and the maximum number of sheets set in the maximum number of sheets setting section 6 are obtained. It is determined whether or not the accumulated number <the maximum number of inserted sheets is satisfied (step 503). This determination is made for each denomination.

Here, if the maximum number of accumulated sheets <the maximum number of inserted sheets is satisfied, processing for resetting the maximum number of accumulated sheets to the maximum number of inserted sheets is performed (step 504). This process is also performed for each denomination.

If it is determined in step 503 that the maximum number of accumulated sheets <the maximum number of inserted sheets is not satisfied, or when the resetting processing in step 504 is completed, the ordinary coin processing (step 505) and the coin payout processing (step 506) Is executed.

FIG. 5 shows details of the coin processing shown in FIG.

In the coin processing of FIG. 5, first, coin sorting processing is performed (step 601). This coin sorting process is performed by the coin identification unit 110 shown in FIG.

When the coin sorting process in step 601 is completed, it is next checked whether or not the coin inserted is a genuine coin as a result of the coin sorting process (step 602). Here, when it is determined that the inserted coin is not a genuine coin, that is, it is a fake coin, predetermined fake coin processing is performed (step 603). That is, the coin is sorted to the coin return port side by the true / false counterpart sorting section 120 shown in FIG. 2 and returned to the coin return port.

If it is determined in step 602 that the inserted coin is a genuine coin, then the number of coins inserted into the coin insertion slot is determined by the maximum inserted number set by the maximum inserted number setting unit 6. Is checked (step 60).
4). This processing is performed for each denomination of the coin inserted from the coin insertion slot. Here, when it is determined that the number of coins inserted into the coin insertion slot has reached the maximum number of coins set by the maximum number of coins setting unit 6, the process proceeds to step 603,
The coins are sorted to the coin return port side by the true / false coin sorting unit 120, and a fake coin processing for returning to the coin return port is performed.

If it is determined in step 604 that the number of coins inserted into the coin insertion slot has not reached the maximum number of coins set by the maximum number of coins setting section 6, the maximum number of coins set by the maximum number of coins setting section 7 is set. It is checked whether or not the maximum number of stored sheets is 0 (step 605). If the maximum storage number set by the maximum storage number setting unit 7 is not 0, then
It is checked whether the number of coins in the coin tube matches the maximum number of coins set corresponding to the coin tube. The number of coins in the coin tube is calculated by adding and counting the number of coins introduced into the coin tube, and subtracting and counting the number of coins paid out from the coin tube. Detected based on each coin tube.

If it is determined in step 606 that the number of coins in the coin tube matches the maximum number of coins set corresponding to the coin tube, the coin is introduced into a cash box for guiding to a cash box. (Step 607). This coin safe introduction process is performed by the denomination sorter 140 shown in FIG. 2 by distributing the inserted coins to the cash box side.

In step 605, the maximum storage number setting unit 7
Is determined to be 0, or it is determined in step 606 that the number of coins in the coin tube does not match the maximum number of coins set for the coin tube. If so, it is checked whether the overflow sensors 211-1 to 211-4 shown in FIG. 2 are on (step 608). If any of the overflow sensors 211-1 to 211-4 is ON, the process proceeds to step 607, and a coin safe introduction process for distributing inserted coins to the cash box side is performed.

That is, when the maximum number of coins set by the maximum number of coins setting unit 7 is 0, or the number of coins in the coin tube matches the maximum number of coins set corresponding to the coin tube. If not, a process is performed to determine whether or not the inserted coins are to be distributed to the cash box based on the detection outputs of the overflow sensors 211-1 to 211-4.

If it is determined in step 608 that the overflow sensors 211-1 to 211-4 are not on, 1 is added to the counter for counting the number of coins in the coin tube (step 609), and the inserted coins are added. Is carried out into a coin tube (step 610). This coin tube introduction process is performed by driving the denomination sorter 140 shown in FIG.

As described above, in this embodiment, when the maximum number of sheets set in the maximum number of sheets setting section 7 is set to be smaller than the maximum number of sheets set in the maximum number of sheets setting section 6, Is configured to reset the maximum accumulated number set in the maximum accumulated number setting section 7 to the maximum inserted number set in the maximum inserted number setting section 6, so that the maximum accumulated number is stored in the coin tube. There is no situation where coins that exceed the number of coins are accumulated.
There is no need to collect the coins in the coin tube, and labor for coin collection can be saved.

When 0 is set as the maximum number of stored sheets in the maximum number-of-stored sheets setting section 7, this setting is invalidated, and the inserted coins are overflow sensors 211-1 to 211-4 provided in each coin tube. Is guided to the coin tube until it is detected that the coin tube is full.

[0052]

As described above, according to the present invention, the maximum number of coins corresponding to the coin storage means is determined by the maximum number of coins setting means in one coin processing set by the maximum number of coins setting means. When the value is set to a value smaller than the maximum number of inserted coins, the maximum accumulated number of sheets is reset to the maximum number of inserted coins by the maximum accumulated number of sheets resetting means. There is no case where coins are accumulated, so that it is not necessary to collect coins in the coin accumulating means at the time of coin collection, and it is possible to save labor in coin collection work.
