Description

Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a method of selecting coins by denomination.
The present invention relates to a coin sorting device. 2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, coin sorting apparatuses are generally
Feeding means such as a rotating disk for coins received in a mixed state
And feeds out one by one to the identification exclusion passage section.
When denomination is identified while carrying coins in the passageway
In both cases, abnormal coins are electrically driven according to the identification result.
Forcibly drop it into the sorting hole by the moving means and remove it.
Ordinary coins pass through the discrimination passage and are transported to the sorting passage
In the sorting passage, coins are sorted by denomination and denominated
In the denomination storage section. [0003] Generally, each gold is placed in the sorting passage.
Sorting holes according to the diameter of seed coins are arranged in order from small diameter to large diameter
And fall in shape from small coin to large coin
Be sorted out. Recently, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 4-293
As described in Japanese Patent Publication No. 188, the sorting passage is made of coins.
Regardless of the diameter, any coin can be
An electric wire that can be forcibly dropped into the sorting hole for sorting
A proposal has been made in which a plurality of mood sorting units are arranged in the number of denominations.
ing. In this coin sorter, the coin denomination to be processed is
If the denomination is biased toward a specific denomination, multiple denomination coins
Dropping from the sorting hole and sorting storage in multiple storage units
By doing so, there is an opportunity for the denomination storage section to be full
I try to reduce it as much as possible. [0005] In recent years, OA has progressed,
Money handling machines are being introduced in various places other than financial institutions.
For example, a green window or a highway tollgate
Banknote depositing and dispensing machines for depositing and withdrawing coins and coin depositing and dispensing
Machine has been introduced. And in such places, financial
Fewer coins processed and less denominations than institutions
Demands low-cost machines. [0006] Particularly, low coins of 1 yen and 5 yen are out of control.
Because the mark and toll are set in units of 10 yen, use
The reality is that the frequency is extremely low. [0007] Despite the small coins mentioned above,
Coins using sorting passages that fall and sort by shape in the order of coins
When you make a deposit / withdrawal machine, you can store 1 yen and 5 yen by denomination
Parts are rarely used, and in terms of space and operating efficiency
Also has the problem that it is very uneconomical. Further, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 4-293188 describes
Arrange multiple electrical selection units as many as the number of denominations
Created coin depositing and dispensing machines using the coin sorting path
Can freely select any denomination anywhere
Change the denomination to select, although it is functionally good
Electric drive is also available for sorting units other than 1 yen and 5 yen that are not necessary.
Because of the provision of moving means, it will lead to cost increase
There is a problem. In addition, there are no 1 and 5 yen sorting holes from the beginning.
It is also conceivable to provide a coin passage by sorting the shapes
However, if you introduce them in places that do not use 1 yen and 5 yen
It is good to set the price of the introduction destination or the product handled
Therefore, there are cases where 1 yen and 5 yen are used.
You can't even use 1 and 5 yen
No. The present invention has been made in view of the above points.
Because of the low cost and efficient configuration,
The coin type of the coin to be processed can be easily changed according to the usage status of the coin.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a coin sorting device that can be further improved. [0011] A coin sorting apparatus according to the present invention.
Is to identify coins while transporting them one by one
Discriminating passage for removing coins of the type
While handling coins of the denomination to be processed passing through the

And any kind of coin by the electric drive means for sorting
An electrical sorting unit for forcibly sorting the sorting passage unit;
Denominations other than low-end denominations installed downstream of the electrical sorting section
A shape sorting unit that sorts coins according to their diameter
All denomination mode to set the elephant denomination to all denominations including low denominations
Low price to set the denomination to be processed to a denomination other than the low denomination
Processing target denomination setting means to switch to non-use mode
All denomination mode is set by this processing target denomination setting means.
When set, low-value coins are sorted by the electrical sorting section.
Sort by denomination, low-cost non-use mode is set
Sometimes it is said that low value coins are eliminated by the electrical exclusion unit
Any coin other than the low denomination is denominated by the electrical sorting unit
And a control unit for performing the selection. When the all denomination mode is set,
The denominations to be sorted are transported to the sorting passage, and the low-value coins are converted to electricity.
Sorting by denomination in the selective sorting section,
The coins are sorted by denomination in the shape sorting section. Also, low-priced
When the mode is set to
Coins other than the lower denomination are transported to the sorting path,
Electrical sorting of any other coins, such as frequently used coins
Section sorts by denomination and coins other than low denominations
Sorted by denomination in the shape selection section, and further, denominated coins
Eliminated by the electrical exclusion section of the discrimination exclusion passage section. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, a coin sorting apparatus according to the present invention will be described.
