Description

  The present invention relates to a bar metal payout device for paying out bar metal, and more particularly to a bar metal payout device having a function of detecting the denomination of a stored bar metal.

2. Description of the Related Art A cash processing system provided in a store of a financial institution such as a bank is known, and this cash processing system handles cash such as a banknote depositing / withdrawing device, a coin depositing / dispensing device, a small banknote dispensing device, and a bar metal dispensing device. The apparatus includes a plurality of devices, an input device, and a control device that controls these devices in an integrated manner.
As a conventional bar metal payout device used in such a cash processing system, for example, there is one disclosed in Patent Document 1.

Here, the bar is one in which coins of the same denomination are packaged in a bar (column) with, for example, 50 sheets of paper or vinyl.
This bar metal payout device of Patent Document 1 arranges a plurality of metal type cassettes that store a plurality of metal bars arranged in a line in the radial direction in a vertical direction, and issues a payout instruction from a host device. Based on the payout denomination and quantity, the required number of sticks of the specified denomination are fed out from the corresponding cassette by the feeding member and released to the elevator section. Then, when the specified denomination and quantity of bars are accommodated in the elevator section, the elevator section is raised, positioned at the rod outlet, and then the shutter is opened, and the bars accommodated in the elevator section. The money is to be taken out by the operator.

For example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2003-228688 discloses such a bar metal payout device that includes bar metal detection means for detecting the number and type of metal bars stored in each cassette.
This bar metal detecting means includes a light emitting element and a light receiving element arranged so as to oppose each other in the longitudinal direction of the bar metal with the bar metal in the cassette sandwiched between the bar metal in the cassette. The light emitting element and the light receiving element are arranged so as to move integrally along the radial direction of the coin, and the coin having a hole in the center, such as 5 yen and 50 yen. In contrast, the optical scanning is set at a position deviated from the hole.

  As a result, when each light emitting element and light receiving element corresponding to each cassette is moved, the light projected from each light emitting element linearly scans the end face of the bar metal and receives light at a light transmitting position that does not hit the bar metal. As the element receives light and turns on, the light receiving element is turned off at the light blocking position on the bar, so based on the number of on / off times, the number of bars is stored in each cassette. The denomination of the bar metal stored in each cassette is detected based on the OFF change interval.

Each cassette containing the bar metal is formed with a side plate portion that regulates the position of the end surface of the bar metal, and a slit that allows light from the light emitting element to pass through the entire length of the side plate portions on both sides.
JP 2003-109060 A (paragraphs “0018” to “0024”, FIGS. 1 to 3) JP 7-249139 A (paragraph “0022” to paragraph “0038”, FIGS. 1 to 5)

  However, in the above-described conventional technology, the bar metal in each cassette is optically scanned by the bar metal detecting means at a position shifted from the center in the radial direction of the coin to the peripheral surface side. The number of bars stored in each cassette can be reliably detected by turning on and off the detection means, but a different type of bar is incorrectly stored in the cassette. When the difference in diameter between the appropriate denomination and the appropriate denomination is small, there is a problem in that it is not possible to accurately detect that the different denomination is stored only from the on / off change interval.

For example, the diameter of a 100 yen coin is 22.6 mm, the diameter of a 5 yen coin is 22 mm, and the difference in diameter is small.
Even if it is considered to compare with the total length of all the bars stored in the cassette, if multiple bars of different types are stored, the difference is accumulated and the different types of bars are accumulated. It is possible to determine that a different type of bar is stored, but if only one bar of a different denomination is stored in a plurality of appropriate types of bar It is difficult.

  Also, when paying out the bar, after the operator removes the bar from the bar outlet, the operator accidentally drops the bar into the bar housing part of the elevator unit immediately after the shutter starts to close. Depending on the fall state, it may not be detected by the sensor that detects the remaining amount of the bar.In that case, the shutter closes. There is a problem that the next bar is paid out to another operator.

  An object of the present invention is to solve such a problem.

Therefore, in the present invention, a bar metal in which a fixed number of coins are wrapped in a bar shape is fed out one by one from one end of a storage shelf by a feeding member and accommodated in an elevator part, and the bar part is used as a bar metal outlet by the elevator part. In the bar dispensing apparatus for conveying and dispensing, the elevator section is configured to move the feeding member in a longitudinally movable manner, and a rack driving gear meshed with a rack provided in the bar dispensing section. A torque limiter attached to the shaft together with the rack driving gear, a guide plate for receiving and rolling the bar metal fed by the operation of the feeding member , and stopping the bar metal on the guide plate and coin stoppers vertically movable, pushed down coin stopper release arm the coin stopper, the tension spring urges the pulling said coin stopper , A motor for rotating the coin stopper release arm to rotate the said rack drive gear through the torque limiter, a shaft rotatable provided above the guide plate, is stopped by the coin-roll stopper When the outer diameter detecting member provided at the center of the shaft, the outer diameter detecting arm provided at the end of the shaft, and the outer diameter detecting member are pushed up by the bar An outer diameter detection sensor for detecting an outer diameter of the bar metal stopped by the bar metal stopper according to a rotation position of the outer diameter detection arm, and a hole of a coin with respect to the bar metal stopped by the bar metal stopper. It provided a coin hole detection sensor for detecting the presence or absence, and, e Bei a coin denomination discriminating means for discriminating the denomination of the coin from the detection result of the outside diameter detecting sensor and coin hole detection sensor, drive the motor And said la When the shaft drive gear is rotated, the bar feeding portion advances to the feeding member side to cause the feeding member to perform a bar feeding operation, and the bar feeding portion receives a reaction force from the feeding member side. The torque limiter runs idle when a rotational torque exceeding the set value is generated, and then the bar metal type discriminating means discriminates the metal type of the bar metal on the guide plate, and then continues to drive the motor. The bar stopper release arm is configured to push down the bar stopper .

  Thus, the present invention makes it possible to check the outer diameter of the bar metal and the presence or absence of holes when the bar metal is stored in the elevator unit even when a different type of bar metal is set in the bar metal storage unit. Since the detection is performed and the denomination of the bar metal is determined based on the detected outer diameter of the bar metal and the presence or absence of the hole, the effect that the denomination of the bar metal can be reliably determined can be obtained. .

  32a is a detection lever fixed to the bar stopper stop shaft 31, 42 is a position detection sensor having a slit through which the tip of the placement detection lever 32a can pass, and the position where the position detection sensor 42 enters the slit. The origin position of the bar stopper release arm 32 is detected by detecting the detection lever 32a, and the drive of the drive motor 30 is controlled by the control unit based on the detection signal.

Next, the denomination detecting means of the bar metal will be described with reference to FIG. 1 and FIG.
1 and 2, reference numeral 63 denotes a shaft disposed above the guide plate 3 e of the elevator unit 3 so as to be parallel to the bar 10 stored in alignment in the storage unit 2, and 61 denotes a central part of the shaft 63. A fixed outer diameter detection member 62 is an arm whose upper end is fixed to one end of the shaft 63 so as to form a predetermined angle with the outer diameter detection member 61, and both ends of the shaft 63 are provided on both side surfaces of the elevator section 3. The outer diameter detecting member 61 and the outer diameter detecting arm 62 are rotated about the shaft 63 by being rotatably supported by the bearings.

3f is a stopper provided on the inner surface of one side of the elevator unit 3 in order to stop the outer diameter detection arm 62.
The outer diameter detection arm 62 is heavier than the outer diameter detection member 61, and the outer diameter detection arm 62 hangs substantially vertically due to its weight, and the outer diameter detection arm 62 is longer than the outer diameter detection member 61. When the outer diameter detection member 6 is pushed up by the bar 10 which is set long and is drawn out on the guide plate 3e, the movement amount of the outer diameter detection member 61 is amplified at the lower end of the outer diameter detection arm 62. It is like that.

A first detection piece 62a and a second detection piece 62b are provided at the lower end of the outer diameter detection arm 62 with a predetermined interval in the rotational direction and shifted in the vertical direction. A first outer diameter detection sensor 66 and a second outer diameter detection sensor 67 are arranged at a predetermined interval on the rotation path of the first detection piece 62a and the second detection piece 62b.
The first outer diameter detection sensor 66 and the second outer diameter detection sensor 67 are respectively composed of a light emitting element and a light receiving element facing each other across a slit through which the first detection piece 62a and the second detection piece 62b can pass. The light-receiving element is turned on when the light of the light-emitting element is shielded by the first detection piece 62a or the second detection piece 62b, and the light-receiving element outputs an off signal when it is not shielded. .

Here, the relationship between the outer diameter of the bar 10 in each denomination and the first outer diameter detection sensor 66 and the second outer diameter detection sensor 67 will be described.
In a state where the bar 10 is not released on the guide plate 3e, the outer diameter detection arm 62 hangs substantially vertically as shown in FIG. 1 and stops by hitting the stopper 3f. In this state, the first detection piece 62a and the second detection piece 62b are located at positions away from the first outer diameter detection sensor 66 and the second outer diameter detection sensor 67, and the first outer diameter detection sensor 66 is located. The second outer diameter detection sensor 67 outputs an off signal.

When the 1 or 50 yen denomination bar 10 is released on the guide plate 3e and stopped by the bar stopper 40, the outer diameter detection member 61 is pushed up by the bar 10 when the outer diameter detection member 61 is pushed up. The arm 62 rotates.
At this time, the first detection piece 62a is displaced to a position where the light of the first outer diameter detection sensor 66 is shielded, whereas the second detection piece 62b is a position where the light of the second outer diameter detection sensor 67 is shielded. Therefore, only the first outer diameter detection sensor 66 outputs an ON signal, and the second outer diameter detection sensor 67 outputs an OFF signal.

When the outer diameter detecting member 61 is pushed up by the 5 or 100 yen denominated bar 10 stopped by the bar stopper 40 and the outer diameter detecting arm 62 is rotated, the first detecting piece 62a is displaced to a position for blocking light of the first outer diameter detection sensor 66, since the second detection piece 62b to displacement of the position for blocking light of the second outer diameter detection sensor 67, the first outer diameter The detection sensor 66 and the second outer diameter detection sensor 67 output an ON signal.

When the outer diameter detecting member 61 is pushed up by the 10 yen denominated bar 10 stopped by the bar stopper 40 and the outer diameter detecting arm 62 is rotated, the first detecting piece 62a is the first detecting piece 62a. passes the position of the outer diameter detection sensor 66, the second detection piece 62b is displacement of a position for blocking light of the second outer diameter detection sensor 67, the first outer diameter detection sensor 66 is turned off, the The outer diameter detection sensor 67 of No. 2 outputs an ON signal.

If the outer diameter detecting arm 62 is the outer diameter detecting member 61 is pushed up by the denomination of the coin 1 0 500 yen was stopped by coin stoppers 40 is rotated, the first detection piece 62a is first Since the second detection piece 62b also passes through the position of the second outer diameter detection sensor 67, the first outer diameter detection sensor 66 and the second outer diameter detection sensor 66 67 outputs an off signal.

Thus, the relationship between the outer diameter of the bar 10 in each denomination and the first outer diameter detection sensor 66 and the second outer diameter detection sensor 67 is set.
Reference numeral 65 denotes a coin hole detection sensor. The light emitting element and the light receiving element constituting the coin hole detection sensor 65 are parallel to the bar 10 stored in alignment in the storage unit 2 and each type of bar The light emitting element and the light receiving element are arranged on the guide plate 3 at intervals larger than the longest length of 10, and when the bar 10 of a 5-yen or 50-yen coin is stopped by the bar stopper 40. , The hole of the coin of the bar 10 is set at a position where the light of the light emitting element can pass.

Accordingly, the coin hole detecting sensor 65 is configured such that the bar 10 is not discharged on the guide plate 3e, and the 5- or 50-yen denomination 10 having a hole in the center is placed on the guide plate 3e. An off signal is output when the bar is released, and an on signal is output when one of the denominations of 1 yen, 100 yen, 10 yen, and 500 yen is released. To do.
FIG. 9 is an explanatory diagram of table data stored in the storage unit of the control unit 20 for denomination discrimination.

  The table data includes the signal output of the first outer diameter detection sensor 66 and the second outer diameter detection sensor 67 based on the outer diameter of the bar metal as described above, and the signal output of the coin hole detection sensor based on the presence / absence of a coin hole. The control unit of the control unit 20 refers to this table data and determines the denomination of the 1 yen, 50 yen, 5 yen, 100 yen, 10 yen, 500 yen bar 10 It also functions as a seed discrimination means.

FIG. 10 is a flow chart showing the operation of the first embodiment, FIG. 11 is a side view of the main part showing the operation of the first embodiment, and the procedure for paying out the bar is shown in FIG. explain.
The operation of each unit described below is controlled by a control unit (not shown) based on a program (software) stored in a storage unit (not shown) in the control unit 20.

First, the control unit receives information regarding a withdrawal request from a host device (not shown) (S1), and subsequently receives information regarding the designated denomination and number of bars 10 from the host device (S2).
The control unit drives the motor 14 to raise the elevator unit 3 from the home position set at the bottom of the casing 11 toward the target storage shelf 21 based on the designated denomination (S3).
The position sensor provided in the storage shelf 21 in which the specified denomination bar 10 is stored detects the elevator unit 3 that has moved up, and transmits an ON signal to the control unit (S4).

The control unit stops the motor 14 based on the signal received from the position sensor (S5), thereby guiding the elevator unit 3 to the front end of the storage shelf 21 for the purpose as shown in FIG. The plate 3e is positioned and stopped so as to correspond, and the position is held in a storage unit (not shown) as current stop position information of the elevator unit 3.
Thereafter, the control unit transmits a pulse to the drive motor 30 to drive the drive motor 30 so as to rotate in the forward direction.

  The rotational force of the drive motor 30 is transmitted to the rack drive gear 35 via the drive gear 30a, the bar stopper release gear 31a, and the transmission gear 33a, so that the rack 36a is pushed by the rotation of the rack drive gear 35 and the bar The feeding portion 36 moves forward toward the storage shelf 21, whereby the pressing shaft 36 c pushes and moves the end surface of the rack 58 on the storage shelf 21 side, so that the feeding member 5 is rotated halfway and only one bar 10 is stored. 21 and is discharged onto the guide plate 3e of the elevator section 3 (S6).

The discharged bar 10 rolls on the guide plate 3e of the elevator section 3 to push up the outer diameter detecting member 61 as shown in FIG. 11B, and hits the stopper member 4 and stops.
At this time, the control unit confirms the presence of the bar 10 by the change in the signal output from the coin hole detection sensor 65 that detects the presence or absence of the hole of the bar 10 (S7).
After the confirmation, the control unit compares the signal output of the first outer diameter detection sensor 66 and the second outer diameter detection sensor 67 and the signal output of the coin hole detection sensor 65 based on the presence / absence of a coin hole with the table data in FIG. In addition, the denomination of the bar 10 is determined, and it is determined whether or not the denomination is normal, that is, whether or not it is the designated denomination (S8).

  In the case of a normal denomination, the control unit continues to drive the drive motor 30 and thereby the rod stopper release arm 32 continues to rotate, but at this time, the rack 58 on the storage shelf 21 side hits a stopper (not shown) and stops. Thus, since the torque exceeding the set value is generated in the rack drive gear 35, only the drive shaft 33 is rotated by the action of the torque limiter 34, and the movement of the bar feeding portion 36 is prevented.

Then, due to the rotation of the bar stopper release arm 32, the tip thereof comes into contact with the floor 40 b formed at the lower part of the bar stopper 40, and the bar stopper release arm 32 continues to rotate, so that the bar stopper 40 is rotated. Press down.
As a result, when the upper end of the bar stopper 40 is retracted to a position below the same plane as the guide plate 3e, the bar 10 rolls on the guide plate 3e by its own weight, and as shown in FIG. Dropped into the part 4 and accommodated (S9).

Since the signal output from the coin hole detection sensor 65 changes due to the rolling of the bar 10 at this time, the control unit changes the signal output from the coin hole detection sensor 65 to the bar metal to the bar metal storage unit 4. After confirming the accommodation of 10 and stopping the drive motor 30, a pulse rotating in the reverse direction is transmitted.
As a result, when the drive motor 30 rotates in the reverse direction, the rack drive gear 35 rotates in the reverse direction, and the bar feeder part 36 moves backward to return to the original position, and accordingly the rack 58 on the storage shelf 21 side is not shown. Since the spring returns to the original position, the feeding member 5 also returns to the original state.

  At this time, the bar stopper release arm 32 also rotates in the reverse direction to release the pressing force to the bar stopper 40, so that the bar stopper 40 is pulled up by the spring 40 and the upper end of the guide plate 3e again. When the tip of the placement detection lever 32a enters the slit of the position detection sensor 42 and is detected by the position detection lever 32a, the drive motor 30 is driven by the control unit based on the detection signal. As a result, the bar stopper release arm 32 returns to its original position (S10).

Thereafter, the control unit determines whether there is a bar to be accommodated in the elevator unit 3 based on the designated denomination and number received from the host device (S11). If there is, the current elevator unit 3 is positioned further. It is determined whether the denomination is the same as the bar metal stored in the storage shelf 21 (S12).
If they are the same, the processes from S6 to S10 are repeated. If they are not the same, the process returns to S3 and the control unit drives the motor 14 to raise or lower the elevator unit 3 toward the target storage shelf 21. After that, the processing up to S10 is repeated. However, in this case, the elevation of the elevator unit 3 is not from the home position but from the current stop position.

When it is determined in S11 that there is no bar to be accommodated in the elevator unit 3, that is, when all the designated denominations and the number of bars received from the host device are accommodated in the elevator unit 3, the control unit 11 controls the motor 14 And the elevator unit 3 is raised toward the payout port on the top surface of the housing 11 (S13).
When a position sensor (not shown) provided in the payout port detects the elevator unit 3 (S14), the control unit stops the motor 14 based on the detection signal, and the upper surface of the elevator unit 3 is discharged. (S15).

When the upper surface of the elevator unit 3 stops at the bar outlet, the control unit transmits a signal to a shutter opening / closing mechanism (not shown), and the shutter opening / closing mechanism opens the shutter 23 based on the signal (S16).
As a result, when the operator removes the bar from the bar housing 4 of the elevator unit 3 and all the bars 10 are detected by a sensor (not shown) provided in the elevator unit 3. The control unit determines that the take-out is completed (S17), transmits a signal to the shutter opening / closing mechanism, and the shutter opening / closing mechanism closes the shutter 23 based on the signal (S18).

Subsequently, the control unit sends a notification to the operator that the money type and the number of bars are paid out to the operator (S19), and stores the data of the money type and the number that are requested to be paid out. The number of bars stored in each storage shelf 21 stored in the storage unit is updated based on the information received from the quantity sensor provided in the storage shelf 21.
Finally, the control unit drives the motor 14 in the reverse direction to lower the elevator unit 3 and return it to the home position (S20).

This completes the bar metal payout process, but if it is determined in S8 that the denomination is not a normal denomination, the control unit drives the motor 14 in the reverse direction to temporarily turn up the elevator unit 3. The guide plate 3e is lowered to the home position, and the inclination of the guide plate 3e is switched to the opposite direction to drop the bar 10 on the guide plate 3e determined to be a different denomination onto a reject box (not shown) (S21).
After rejecting the bar of the different denomination in this way, the process returns to S3, the control unit drives the motor 14, raises the elevator unit 3 toward the target storage shelf 21, and then goes to S20. Process.

As described above, in the first embodiment, even when a different kind of bar is set in the bar metal storage part by mistake, the outer diameter of the bar metal is stored when the bar metal is stored in the elevator part. And detecting the presence or absence of a hole, and determining the denomination of the bar metal based on the detected outer diameter of the bar metal and the presence or absence of the hole, it is possible to reliably determine the denomination of the bar metal The effect is obtained.
Further, a single metal driving unit 30 operates a bar metal feeding part 36 for half-rotating the feeding member 5 to feed the bar metal from the storage shelf 21 and a bar metal stopper for stopping the fed bar metal at the denomination determining position. Since this is possible, there is also an effect that a small, light and low-cost device can be realized.

Next, a second embodiment will be described.
In the second embodiment, side plates extending along the elevation direction of the elevator unit 33 are provided on the side portions on the front end side of the storage shelves 21 so that the side plates are positioned between the storage shelves 21. If the pressing portion 26 (see FIG. 12) is formed in a comb-like shape and the control program determines that the bar 10 released to the elevator portion 3 is a different denomination, the elevator portion after giving vibration to the coin 10 by three lifting, plus the processing to perform the denomination discriminating again, the control program shall be stored in the storage unit (not shown) provided in the control unit 20 .

Since the other configuration is the same as that of the first embodiment described above, description thereof is omitted.
FIG. 12 is a side view of the main part showing the operation of the second embodiment, FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing the operation of the second embodiment, and the procedure for paying out the bar is described below in accordance with the steps indicated by S in FIG. To do.
First, from S1 to S8, the same processing as that described in FIG. 10 is performed in the first embodiment.

  If it is determined in S8 that the denomination is not normal, the reason is that the different denomination bar 10 is erroneously set in the storage shelf 21 where the elevator unit 3 is positioned as described above. In addition, the bar 10 that has been fed out and released from the storage shelf 21 does not hit the bar stopper 40 in a normal state, but is not in contact with the bar stopper 40 in an oblique state or in a state where one side is lifted. In this second embodiment, the control unit temporarily stops the drive motor 30 and then transmits a pulse for rotating in the reverse direction, so that the position detection lever 32a is positioned. The drive motor 30 is rotated in the reverse direction until it is detected by the detection sensor 42 to return the bar metal feeding part 36 to the original position, and the feeding member 5 is also returned to the original state. Release arm 32 to return to its original position (S30).

Thereafter, the control unit alternately drives the motor 14 in the forward direction and the reverse direction based on the current stop position information of the elevator unit 3 to move the elevator unit 3 up and down multiple times (S31).
As a result, after vibration is applied to the bar 10 on the guide plate 3e, the motor 14 is stopped, and the bar feeding portion 36 provided in the elevator unit 3 is pressed as shown in FIG. The elevator unit 3 is stopped so that the tip of the shaft 36c faces the pressing unit 26 located between the storage shelves 21.

In this state, the control unit determines the denomination of the bar 10 in the same manner as S8, and determines whether or not the denomination is normal (S32).
When the denomination is normal, the control unit transmits a pulse to the drive motor 30 and rotates the drive motor 30 in the forward direction. As shown in FIG. When the drive motor 30 is further rotated when the tip end of the pressing shaft 36c is moved to the 21 side and the drive motor 30 is further rotated, the rack drive gear 35 generates more torque than set, so that the drive shaft 33 is operated by the action of the torque limiter 34. Only rotates, and the movement of the bar feeding portion 36 is prevented.

At this time, the bar stopper release arm 32 continues to rotate, its tip end comes into contact with the floor 40b formed at the lower part of the bar stopper 40, and the bar stopper release arm 32 continues to rotate, so that the bar stopper Depress 40.
As a result, when the upper end of the bar stopper 40 is retracted below the same plane as the guide plate 3e, the bar 10 rolls on the guide plate 3e due to its own weight, and as shown in FIG. It is dropped and stored (S33).

Since the signal output from the coin hole detection sensor 65 changes due to the rolling of the bar 10 at this time, the control unit changes the signal output from the coin hole detection sensor 65 to the bar metal to the bar metal storage unit 4. After confirming the accommodation of 10 and stopping the drive motor 30, a pulse rotating in the reverse direction is transmitted.
As a result, when the drive motor 30 rotates in the reverse direction, the rack drive gear 35 rotates in the reverse direction and the bar feeder part 36 returns to the original position.

  At this time, the bar stopper release arm 32 also rotates in the reverse direction to release the pressing force to the bar stopper 40, so that the bar stopper 40 is pulled up by the spring 40 and the upper end of the guide plate 3e again. When the tip of the position detection lever 32a enters the slit of the position detection sensor 42 and is detected by the position detection lever 32a, the drive of the drive motor 30 is stopped by the control unit based on the detection signal. As a result, the bar stopper release arm 32 also returns to the original position (S34), and thereafter, the same processing as that described in FIG. 10 in the first embodiment is executed.

On the other hand, when it is determined that the denomination is not normal even in S32, that is, when it is determined that the denomination is different, the control unit drives the motor 14 in the reverse direction as in the first embodiment, and the elevator unit. 3 is once lowered to the home position, and the inclination of the guide plate 3e is switched to the opposite direction to drop the bar 10 on the guide plate 3e determined to be a different denomination into a reject box (not shown) (S21).
After rejecting the bar of the different denomination in this way, the process returns to S3, the control unit drives the motor 14, raises the elevator unit 3 toward the target storage shelf 21, and then goes to S20. Process.

  As described above, in the second embodiment, when the bar 10 is discriminated as a different denomination in the denomination discrimination, the elevator unit 3 is moved up and down, thereby giving vibration to the bar 10. Since the denomination is determined again, the denomination of the denomination is surely determined even for the bar 10 that has stopped by hitting the bar stopper 40 in an oblique state or with one side raised. This makes it possible to prevent unnecessary rejection processing.

Next, a third embodiment will be described.
In the third embodiment, after the bar metal 10 released to the elevator unit 3 is determined to be of a different denomination, the control program applies vibration to the bar metal 10 by the reciprocating operation of the bar metal feeding unit 36. It is assumed that the process for recognizing the denomination is added, and the control program is stored in a storage unit (not shown) provided in the control unit 20.

Other configurations are the same as those of the second embodiment described above.
FIG. 14 is a flowchart showing the operation of the third embodiment, and the procedure for paying out the bar is described below in accordance with the steps indicated by S in FIG.
First, from S1 to S8, the same processing as that described in FIG. 10 is performed in the first embodiment.

  As a reason for determining that the denomination is not normal in S8, as described in the second embodiment, if the bar 10 fed out and released from the storage shelf 21 hits the bar stopper 40 in a normal state. In this third embodiment, the denomination is normal in S8 because it may be determined that the denomination is in a slanted state or in a state where one side is lifted and hitting the bar stopper 40. If it is determined that it is not, the control unit temporarily stops the drive motor 30 and then transmits a pulse for rotating in the reverse direction, so that the drive motor 30 is reversed until the position detection lever 32a is detected by the position detection sensor 42. And the bar feeding portion 36 is returned to the original position, the feeding member 5 is also returned to the original state, and the bar stopper release arm 32 is also returned to the original position. S40).

Thereafter, the control unit drives the motor 14 in the forward direction or the reverse direction based on the current stop position information of the elevator unit 3, and is provided in the elevator unit 3 as shown in FIG. The elevator section 3 is stopped so that the tip of the pressing shaft 36c of the metal bar feeding section 36 is opposite to the pressing section 26 located between the storage shelves 21 (S41).
In this state, the control unit alternately drives the drive motor 30 in both the forward and reverse directions so that the tip of the pressing shaft 36c of the rod feeding portion 36 is brought into contact with the pressing unit 26, and then the tip of the pressing shaft 36c is moved. The reciprocating motion of separating from the pressing portion 26 is performed a plurality of times (S42), and after the vibration is applied to the bar on the guide plate 3e, the motor 14 is stopped, and then the control unit is similar to the above S8. The ten denominations are discriminated and it is determined whether or not the denomination is normal (S43).

If the denomination is normal, the control unit drives the drive motor 30 and pushes down the bar metal stopper 40 in the same manner as in the second embodiment, whereby the bar metal 10 is stored in the bar metal storage unit 4 ( (S44) Further, the bar feeding portion 36, the bar stopper 40, and the bar stopper release arm 32 are returned to their original positions (S34), and the same processing as in the first embodiment is executed.
Of course, also in the third embodiment, when it is determined that the denomination is not normal in S43, that is, when it is determined that the denomination is different, the bar 10 is dropped into a reject box (not shown) (S21), Thereafter, returning to S3, the control unit drives the motor 14, raises the elevator unit 3 toward the target storage shelf 21, and then performs the processing up to S20.

  As described above, in the third embodiment, when the bar 10 is discriminated as a different denomination in the denomination discrimination, the reciprocating motion of the bar feeding part 36 is performed a plurality of times, thereby vibrating the bar 10. Since the denomination of the denomination is determined again after the application, as in the second embodiment, the bar 10 that has been stopped by hitting the bar stopper 40 in an oblique state or in a state where one side is lifted is used. In contrast, the denomination can be surely determined, and an unnecessary rejection process can be prevented.

Next, a fourth embodiment will be described.
In the fourth embodiment, when there is only one remaining bar 10 in the storage shelf 21, the feeding speed of the bar 10 is controlled to ensure the processing.
That is, as shown in FIG. 5, the feeding member 5 has the bar 10a received in the bar receiving part 53 with the opening of the bar receiving part 53 facing in the direction of arrow B as shown in FIG. In this manner, the feeding member 5 is rotated to be fed out from the storage shelf 21 and discharged to the elevator unit 3. At this time, the succeeding bar 10b is held in the storage shelf 21 by the outer periphery of the locking part 57, and when the opening of the bar receiving part 53 returns to the state of the arrow B again, the bar 10b is moved to the bar. It will be received in the receiving part 53.

  In this case, when only the bar 10b exists in the storage shelf 21, the bar 10b rolls by its own weight and enters the bar receiving part 53, but there are other bars 10 in the storage shelf 21. In this case, the bar 10b not only rolls due to its own weight, but also is pushed by one or more of the following bars 10 into the bar receiving part 53, and therefore the bar 10 in the storage shelf 21 is pushed. The number and the time of entering the bar receiving part 53 differ depending on whether the remaining number is one or plural.

The speed and speed in this case vary depending on the denomination of the bar 10.
Further, when the remaining number of the metal bars 10 in the storage shelf 21 is plural, the metal bars 10 remaining in the storage rack 21 even when the metal bars 10 are fed by the rotation of the feeding member 5, the bar metal receiving portion 53. The operation is stable because the bar 10 fed by the bar receiving part 53 is pushed until it comes into contact with the outer periphery of the bar, but the operation is stable. When feeding up to the bar 10, the centrifugal force acting by the rotation of the feeding member 5 is not only oscillating during the feeding, and the operation such as floating in the air becomes unstable, but sometimes the bar 10 is received. The feeding member 5 rotates before entering the portion 53 normally, and an idle phenomenon such that the bar 10 cannot be scooped up occurs.

Therefore, in this fourth embodiment, to coin bar 10 accommodated in KakuOsamu pay shelf 21, when unwinding until the last one in succession, unwinding member coin bars 10 of the last one 5 The control unit 20 is provided with a table in which the WAIT time (waiting time) for reliably receiving the bar metal receiving part 53 and the moving speed of the bar metal feeding part, that is, the feeding speed of the bar metal 10 by the feeding member 5 are provided. In addition to storing in a storage unit (not shown), a process for controlling the feeding speed of the bar 10 using this table is added to the control program.

Other configurations are the same as those of the second embodiment described above.
FIG. 15 is a flow chart showing the operation of the fourth embodiment, and the procedure for paying out the bar is described below according to the steps indicated by S in FIG.
First, from S1 to S5, the same processing as that described in FIG. 10 is performed in the first embodiment.

Subsequently, the control unit confirms the remaining number n of the bars 10 currently stored in the storage shelf 21 where the elevator unit 3 is positioned in S5 (S50). If the remaining number n is plural, the control unit S7. Thereafter, the same processing as in the first embodiment is performed.
On the other hand, when the remaining number n is 1, the control unit stores the WAIT time until the bar 10 rolls under its own weight and is received in the bar receiving part 53 of the feeding member 5 in a storage unit (not shown). By referring to the table and calculating the WAIT time (S51), it waits for the bar 10 to be received in the bar receiving part 53 of the feeding member 5, and then refers to the table. Then, a low-speed pulse is transmitted to the drive motor 30 to rotate at a low speed.

  As a result, the bar feeding portion 36 is moved to the storage shelf 21 side at a low speed, and the end surface of the rack 58 on the storage shelf 21 side is pushed and moved by the pressing shaft 36c, whereby the feeding member 5 is half-rotated at a low speed to make the bar 10 Is delivered from the storage shelf 21 and discharged onto the guide plate 3e of the elevator section 3 (S52), the process proceeds to S7, and the process similar to the process described in FIG. 10 in the first embodiment is performed thereafter.

  In the above-described operation, when only one bar 10 remains in the storage shelf 21 at the start of feeding of the bar 10, the bar 10 is already normal in the bar receiving part 53 of the feeding member 5. In this case, stable feeding can be achieved simply by moving the bar feeding portion 36 toward the storage shelf 21 at a low speed. Therefore, it is possible to omit securing the WAIT time.

  As described above, in the fourth embodiment, when the bar 10 stored in each storage shelf 21 is continuously fed out to the last one, the last bar 10 is fed out. A table in which the WAIT time (waiting time) for receiving in the bar receiving part 53 of the bar and the moving speed of the bar feeding part is provided is provided, and the remaining bar 10 is fed from the storage shelf 21. Since the feeding is performed at a low speed with reference to the table, the bar 10 swings during feeding, or unstable operations such as floating in the air can be suppressed and stable feeding can be performed. The effect that it becomes possible to obtain is obtained.

Next, a fifth embodiment will be described.
In the fifth embodiment, after the bar 10 is taken out by the operator, the elevator unit 3 is moved up and down, and then the residual detection of the bar 10 is added to the control program. It is assumed that it is stored in a storage unit (not shown) provided in the control unit 20.
Other configurations are the same as those of the first embodiment described above.

FIG. 16 is a flowchart showing the operation of the fifth embodiment, and FIGS. 17 and 18 are side views of the elevator unit 3 showing the operation of the fifth embodiment. explain.
First, from S1 to S18 including S21, the processing similar to the processing described in FIG. 10 in the first embodiment, that is, from the reception of the information on the designated denomination and the number, the elevator unit to the target storage shelf 21 3, a specified denomination and number of bars 10 are fed, the elevator unit 3 is raised to the bar outlet, and the shutter 23 is opened.

  Subsequently, as in the first embodiment, the operator takes out the bar 10 from the housing part 4 of the elevator unit 3. At this time, the residual detection sensor (not shown) provided in the elevator unit 3 removes the bar 10. As shown, it is detected whether or not the bar 10 is present in the lowermost region 70 of the bar receiving part 4, and if it does not exist, the control unit determines that the removal of the bar 10 has been completed ( In S17, a signal is transmitted to the shutter opening / closing mechanism, and the shutter 23 is closed by the shutter opening / closing mechanism based on the signal (S18).

At this time, immediately after the shutter 23 starts the closing operation, the operator accidentally drops the bar 10 into the bar 4 accommodating portion 4 of the elevator unit 3, and the dropped bar 10 is as shown in FIG. In other words, the residual detection sensor does not detect the residual metal sensor 4 when it is detached from the lowermost region 70 of the bar metal accommodating portion 4 and stopped in an oblique state.
For this reason, in this embodiment, when the shutter 23 is closed, the control unit drives the motor 14 alternately in the forward direction and the reverse direction based on the current stop position information of the elevator unit 3 to make a plurality of elevator units 3. After turning up and down (S61), if there is a metal bar 10 in the metal bar housing part 4, after giving vibration to the metal bar 10, the motor 14 is stopped and the elevator unit 3 is stopped, It is determined from the detection result of the residual detection sensor whether or not the bar 10 remains in the bar 4 accommodating portion 4 (S62).

As a result, when the bar 10 remains, the control unit notifies the host device and notifies the operator who has dropped the bar from the host device using a display means, a voice output means, or the like ( S62).
Upon receiving this notification, the operator performs, for example, a process of opening the door 12 on the front of the bar dispenser 1 and taking out the bar 10 remaining in the bar accommodating part 4 of the elevator unit 3.

In S62, when the control unit determines that the bar 10 is not left in the bar receiving unit 4, the processes of S19 and S20 are the same as those described in FIG. 10 in the first embodiment. Is done.
As described above, in the fifth embodiment, after the bar 10 has been paid out to the operator, the elevator unit 3 is moved up and down to give vibration to the bar metal housing unit 4 and then the elevator unit 3 is stopped. Thereafter, whether or not the bar metal 10 remains in the bar metal accommodating portion 4 is detected by the residual detection sensor, and the operator is notified when it remains, so the remaining bar metal 10 It is possible to eliminate the inconvenience of paying out to another operator.
