  With reference to the drawings, the money discharging apparatus of this embodiment will be described. FIG. 1 is a view showing the appearance of the money discharging apparatus in this embodiment. The money discharging device 11 includes an operation, a display unit 12, a money processing unit 13, a bill insertion slot 14, a coin insertion slot 15, a wrapping coin processing section 16, and a wrapping coin removal slot 17. This money discharge device 11 mainly exchanges money inserted by a user and discharges wrapping banknotes and wrapping coins.

  The operation / display unit 12 includes a so-called touch panel, and is installed in front of the money discharging device 11. The operation / display unit 12 displays guidance such as a usage method to the user, and the user inputs transaction details.

  The bill insertion slot 14 and the coin insertion slot 15 are insertion slots for the user to input money and usage fees that the user desires to exchange, and the inserted money is stored in the money processing unit 13.

The money processing unit 13 counts and stores the inserted money.
The wrapping coin processing unit 16 is a processing unit that stores and pays out wrapping coins to be paid out (released). The wrapping coins fed out by the wrapping coin processing unit 16 are discharged from the wrapping coin takeout port 17 and can be received by the user.

  The money processing unit 13, the bill insertion slot 14, and the wrapping coin pickup opening 17 are all installed on the front surface of the money discharge device 11, so that the user can easily insert and take out money.

  FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the wrapping coin processing unit 16, and FIG. 3 is a side view of the wrapping coin processing unit 16. The wrapping coin processing unit 16 is divided into a bucket unit 21 and a tray unit 26, and the bucket unit 21 is disposed on the front side, and the tray unit 26 is disposed on the back side. The tray unit 26 stores a plurality of storage trays 29 therein, and the storage trays 29 are stacked in the vertical direction (vertical direction).

  Each storage tray 29 is loaded with wrapping coins 24 packed in a rod shape (cylindrical shape). One storage tray 29 is loaded with packaging coins 24 of the same denomination. The storage tray 29 has a long shape so that a plurality of wrapping coins 24 are arranged side by side. The back side of the tray portion 26 has a door shape. By opening the back side, a staff member can attach and detach each storage tray 29. Attachment / detachment of each storage tray 29 is detected by a tray fixed position sensor 39.

  The storage trays 29 are stored while being inclined downward from the back toward the front. That is, the side facing the bucket portion 21 is relatively lower than the back side. Since the side facing the bucket portion 21 is low, when the wrapping coins 24 are fed out, the wrapping coins 24 loaded in the storage tray 29 will gradually approach the bucket portion 21 side.

  The side of the storage tray 29 that faces the bucket portion 21 is fully open upward and partially open downward (see FIG. 5). The feeding arm 27 is inserted from the partially opened lower surface side, and the wrapping coins 24 are pushed out. The extruded wrapping coins 24 are stored in the bucket 23.

  The box-shaped bucket 23 is stored in the bucket portion 21 and can be moved up and down along the guide rail 31. The bucket 23 can be moved up by the elevating motor 25, and can freely fall by gravity along the guide rail 31 and descend.

  The bucket 23 is open on the entire upper surface side, and at the uppermost position, the opening surface faces the outlet shutter 22. When the outlet shutter 22 is opened, the inside of the bucket 23 is exposed and the user can take out the wrapping coins 24. The takeout shutter 22 and the bucket 23 constitute the package coin takeout opening 17. When the extraction detection sensor 34 detects the removal of the wrapping coins in the bucket 23, the extraction port shutter 22 is closed.

  With reference to FIG. 4, the feeding out of the wrapping coin will be described. FIG. 4 is an enlarged view of the bucket portion 21 and the tray portion 26 when the wrapping coins are fed out. The feeding arm 27 has a T-shaped hammer shape when viewed from the side, and rotates about the fulcrum shaft 18 as a fulcrum. By inserting the leading end of the feeding arm 27 from the lower surface side of the storage tray 29, the wrapping coin 24 is pushed up and fed out from the opening on the upper surface side of the storage tray 29.

  In FIG. 3, a medium 28 is attached to the side of each storage tray 29 that faces the bucket portion 21. FIG. 5 shows an enlarged view of the bucket 23 and the storage tray 29. The medium 28 is attached near the approximate center of the side surface of the storage tray 29. Along with the medium 28, an opening 19 is provided on the side surface of the storage tray 29. A sensor unit 30 is provided on the tray-facing side surface of the bucket 23, and the sensor unit 30 includes an L-side reading sensor 35, an R-side reading sensor 36, a slit sensor 37, and an empty detection sensor 38. Each sensor is a reflected wave detection type sensor. When the bucket 23 moves up and down, the empty detection sensor 38 faces the opening 19 so that the empty wrapping coins in the storage tray 29 can be detected. That is, if the reflected wave from the wrapping coin can be detected, the wrapping coin is stored in the storage tray 29, and if the reflected wave cannot be detected, it is determined that the wrapping coin is empty.

  The medium 28 is a square-shaped thin plate made up of 2 × 2 cells, and each cell is colored black or white. The denomination loaded in each storage tray 29 can be determined from the black and white pattern of the grid. The L-side reading sensor 35 reads the black and white pattern of the second square of the left medium 28 toward the storage tray 29. The R-side reading sensor 36 reads the black and white pattern of the second square of the medium 28 on the right side toward the storage tray 29.

  A slit rail 33 is provided between each storage tray 29 and the bucket portion 21, and the slit rail 33 is provided with a plurality of detection grooves. These detection grooves are provided at the same height as the bucket facing surface of each storage tray 29, and when the bucket 23 moves up and down, the slit sensor 37 detects each detection groove, whereby the height of the storage tray. It is possible to detect that the bucket 23 is located at the position where the reflected wave of the sensor is read.

  The money discharging apparatus 11 first moves the bucket 23 from the uppermost position, which is the initial position, to the lowest position (free fall) as a preparatory operation at the time of withdrawal. When this descends, the grid pattern of the medium 28 in each storage tray 29 is read. Then, the storage tray 29 to be paid out and the number of payouts are determined in accordance with the money amount (type and number of wrapping coins) instructed to withdraw money. Thereafter, the elevator motor 25 is driven to stop the bucket 23 at the position of each storage tray 29 while raising the bucket 23, the wrapping coins 24 are fed out and raised to the uppermost position, and the outlet shutter 22 is opened.

  The bucket 23 is provided with a rotatable roller-shaped rotary encoder 32. Since the rotary encoder 32 is in contact with the guide rail 31, it can output a signal while synchronizing with the vertical movement of the bucket 23. By using the output signal of the rotary encoder 32 as a synchronization signal, the detection signals of the L-side reading sensor 35, the R-side reading sensor 36, the slit sensor 37, and the sky detection sensor 38 can be synchronized.

  Next, FIG. 6 is a block diagram showing main components of the wrapping coin processing unit 16. The wrapping coin processing unit 16 includes a CPU 41, a bucket control unit 42, a feeding arm control unit 43, a sensor control unit 44, an encoder control unit 45, a takeout port control unit 46, a ROM 47, a RAM 48, and a host control unit 49.

  Connected to the CPU 41 are a bucket control unit 42, a feeding arm control unit 43, a sensor control unit 44, an encoder control unit 45, a takeout port control unit 46, a ROM 47, a RAM 48, and a host control unit 49. The CPU 41 reads out a program stored in the ROM 47 and develops it in the RAM 48 to perform various processes.

  The bucket control unit 42 controls the vertical movement of the bucket 23 according to an instruction from the CPU 41. The feeding arm control unit 43 controls the movement of the feeding arm 27 in accordance with an instruction from the CPU 41. The sensor control unit 44 is a control unit that mainly controls the tray fixed position sensor 39 and determines whether the storage tray 29 is attached or detached. The encoder control unit 45 detects the output signal of the rotary encoder 32 and synchronizes the output signals of various sensors. The takeout port control unit 46 opens and closes the takeout port shutter 22. The upper control unit 49 receives a withdrawal instruction from the money discharging apparatus 11 which is the upper side. When the CPU 41 receives the withdrawal instruction from the upper control unit 49, the CPU 41 causes the bucket control unit 42 to move the bucket 23 from the uppermost position, which is the initial position, to the lowermost position (free fall). At this time, the grid pattern of the medium 28 in each storage tray 29 is read without stopping the bucket 23. FIG. 7 shows a method of reading the grid pattern of the medium 28 without stopping the bucket 23.

  FIG. 7 is a conceptual diagram showing a method for reading the grid pattern of the medium 28. As shown in FIG. 6A, the bucket 23 freely falls from the uppermost part to the lowermost part, so that the slit sensor 37 detects the detection groove of the slit rail 33 from above to below. The output signal of the slit sensor 37 is input to the sensor control unit 44. Since the detection groove of the slit rail 33 is provided between the reading start position and the reading end position, by detecting the signal level of the slit sensor 37, the reading start position (reading start timing) and the reading end position (reading end) Timing) can be detected.

  The L-side reading sensor 35 and the R-side reading sensor 36 detect a reflected wave from the medium 28 from the upper direction to the lower direction, and output a signal according to the level of the reflected wave. Output signals of the L side reading sensor 35 and the R side reading sensor 36 are input to the CPU 41 via the sensor control unit 44. The CPU 41 performs black and white determination based on the output signal of each sensor. Any method may be used for black and white determination. For example, if the output levels of the reflection level L-side reading sensor 35 and the R-side reading sensor 36 are higher than a predetermined threshold value, white is determined, and if the output level is lower than the threshold value, black is determined. The threshold value may be set in advance or may be changed according to the use situation. When changing according to the use situation, when it is determined that the change in reflected wave during reading is large and there is a change in black and white, the average value of the read reflected wave may be used as a threshold value.

  FIG. 2B shows an example in which the output signals of the sensors are synchronized. Since the bucket 23 falls and moves while accelerating, the output timing (output time interval) of each sensor is not actually uniform, but in FIG. An example in which signals are output at equal time intervals is shown.

  The uppermost signal in FIG. 5B is an output signal of the slit sensor 37. When the output signal of the slit sensor 37 becomes Hi, it is determined that the reading start position has been reached (reading start timing). When the reading position is reached, the sensor control unit 44 outputs the output signals of the L side reading sensor 35 and the R side reading sensor 36 to the CPU 41. Further, the encoder control unit 45 outputs the signal of the rotary encoder 32 to the CPU 41.

  FIG. 4C is an enlarged view of the rotary encoder 32. The encoder plate 51 contacts the guide rail 31 and rotates according to the vertical movement of the bucket 23. The encoder plate 51 is provided with slits at equal intervals, and the encoder sensor 52 detects each slit. An output signal of the encoder sensor 52 is input to the CPU 41 as a signal of the rotary encoder 32. The signal of the rotary encoder 32 is the signal at the lowermost stage (fifth stage) in FIG.

  The CPU 41 generates a data read timing signal (synchronization signal) shown in the fourth stage of FIG. The output signals of the L side reading sensor 35 and the R side reading sensor 36 are detected in accordance with the synchronization signal. At this time, the output signal of the sky detection sensor 38 is also detected. In order to detect the output signals of the L-side reading sensor 35, the R-side reading sensor 36, and the sky detection sensor 38 in accordance with the synchronization signal, the output of all the sensors even when moving while accelerating freely and accelerating Signals can be processed synchronously.

  When the output signal of the slit sensor 37 becomes Lo, it is determined that the reading end position has been reached (the reading end timing is reached), and the reading of the L side reading sensor 35 and the R side reading sensor 36 is ended.

  The CPU 41 refers to the table shown in FIG. 8 and determines the denomination of the wrapping coins stored in the storage tray 29 from the output signals (monochrome determination) of the L side reading sensor 35 and the R side reading sensor 36. As shown in FIG. 8, eight types of denominations are assigned by a 2 × 2 grid pattern. Since there are six types of denominations in Japan, two patterns of 100 yen and 500 yen wrapping coins are assigned to each. It should be noted that all white and all black are not used as grid patterns because there is no black and white change on both the L side and the R side.

  Here, the table in FIG. 8 is referred to using the grid pattern shown in FIG. The CPU 41 determines that the L-side reading sensor 35 has changed from white to black, and the R-side reading sensor 36 determines that there has been no change from white. Therefore, the CPU 41 has a table No. in FIG. It is determined that 1 yen wrapping coin, which is a denomination of 1, is stored in the storage tray 29.

  Next, the detailed operation of the money discharging apparatus 11 will be described using a flowchart. FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing the flow of the entire transaction. The user inputs information such as the amount of money, denomination, etc. that he / she wants to exchange using the operation of the money discharging apparatus 11 and the display unit 12 (s1). When the user inputs such information, the host control unit 49 instructs the CPU 41 of the packaging coin processing unit 16 to prepare for withdrawal. When the withdrawal preparation instruction is input, the wrapping coin processing unit 16 performs a withdrawal preparation operation (s11). FIG. 10A shows a flowchart of the withdrawal preparation operation.

  The wrapping coin processing unit 16 moves the bucket 23 from the uppermost position, which is the initial position, to the lowest position (s21). Then, the information of the medium 28 installed in each storage tray 29 is read, and the denomination of each storage tray is detected by the method shown in FIGS. 7 and 8 (s22). At the same time, the empty state of each storage tray 29 is read (s22). The denomination and empty state of each storage tray 29 are temporarily stored in the RAM 48. The contents stored in the RAM 48 are shown in FIG. FIG. 11 is a diagram showing the contents that the CPU 41 reads out the denomination and empty state of each storage tray 29 and stores them in the RAM 48.

  The left column of the table shown in the figure shows the number of each storage tray 29. In the example shown in the figure, 15 storage trays 29 are loaded. The storage tray 29 having the smallest number is loaded in the uppermost stage, and the storage tray 29 having the largest number is loaded in the lowermost stage.

  FIG. 12 shows the operation of the wrapping coin processing unit 16 (detailed operation of s22) when constructing the table of FIG. The wrapping coin processing unit 16 detects the number and denomination of each storage tray 29 and stores it in the RAM 48 (s41). Thereafter, it is determined whether or not the storage tray 29 is empty (s42), and if it is empty, the empty state flag is turned on (s43). This is repeated for each storage tray (s44, s45), and the table of FIG. 11 is constructed.

  In s1 of FIG. 9, after a user inputs information, such as money amount and a money type, a user inserts the principal of money exchange from the banknote slot 14 and the coin slot 15 (s2). Similarly, an exchange fee is inserted (s3). When the user inserts the principal and the exchange fee, a withdrawal instruction is input from the upper control unit 49 to the CPU 41 of the packaging coin processing unit 16 as a packaging coin dispensing and releasing operation (s4). The withdrawal instruction includes information such as the amount of money and denomination that the user wishes to exchange. The wrapping coin processing unit 16 performs a withdrawal / release operation according to the withdrawal instruction (s12). The wrapping coin is discharged to the wrapping coin outlet 17 by the dispensing and discharging operation, and the user receives it (s5).

  FIG. 10B shows the details of the withdrawal / release operation (s12). First, the wrapping coin processing unit 16 determines the feeding tray position (s31). The details of the operation for determining the feeding tray position are shown in FIG.

  The wrapping coin processing unit 16 first compares the denomination and number of releases desired by the user included in the withdrawal instruction with the contents stored in the RAM 48. First, a comparison is made from the lowermost tray, and a storage tray to be fed out is searched (s51). As a result of comparison, the tray No. of the storage tray is shown. In step S52, it is determined whether or not the loaded denomination matches the denomination desired by the user and the empty state flag of the storage tray is off. If the denominations match and the empty flag is off, the tray No. Is determined as the feed tray (s53). For the denomination for which the payout tray has been determined, it is assumed that the search has been completed for the denomination desired by the user (s54). Thereafter, it is determined whether or not all denominations desired by the user have been searched (s55). If all denominations can be searched, the operation ends.

On the other hand, if the denomination loaded in s52 does not match the denomination desired by the user, or the empty state flag of the storage tray is on, or it is determined that all the number of items cannot be searched in s55. In this case, it is determined whether the currently searched storage tray is the uppermost tray (No. 1 in the example of FIG. 11) (s56). The storage tray is the last No. If so, it is determined that all the denominations desired by the user have not been searched, an error is displayed on the display unit 12 (s57), and the operation ends. The storage tray is the last No. Otherwise, the search tray is moved up by one (s58), and the process is repeated from the determination of s52 (s58 → s52).

  In FIG. 10, the wrapping coin processing unit 16 moves the bucket 23 sequentially from the bottom to the position of each storage tray based on the feed tray determined in this way (s32), and pays out one wrapping coin (s33). ). At this time, the wrapping coin processing unit 16 detects the denomination, position (tray No.), and empty state of the fed tray, and updates the contents stored in the RAM 48 (s34). In this process, as shown in FIG. 14, it is determined whether or not the storage tray is empty (s61). If the storage tray is empty, the empty state flag is turned on (s62). ).

  Thereafter, the wrapping coin processing unit 16 determines whether or not all the determined numbers of feeds have been paid out in the storage tray (s35). If not all, the contents stored in the RAM 48 are referred to and it is determined whether or not the storage tray is empty, that is, whether or not the empty state flag is on (s36). If the empty state flag is on, the process of s31 is repeated again to re-determine the feed tray position (s36 → s31). When the process of s31 is performed again, the upper storage tray is searched from the storage tray position at that time, and is not moved to the lower stage. If the empty state flag is off in s36, the process of s33 is repeated and the wrapping coins are paid out (s36 → s33).

  If it is determined in s35 that all the delivery numbers determined in the storage tray have been delivered, it is further determined whether or not the user has delivered all the desired delivery numbers (s37). If it has not been fed out for the total number, the process of s32 is repeated and moved to another storage tray (s37 → s32). If all the numbers are fed out, the bucket 23 is moved to the uppermost stage and the wrapping coins are discharged (s38).

  As described above, the money discharging device 11 releases the wrapping coins to the user. In the above operation, as a specific example, for example, a user inserts a banknote of 10,000 yen, one 100 yen wrapping coin, one 50 wrapping coin, two 10 wrapping coins, and 5 yen. The operation when four wrapping coins and 10 wrapping coins of 1 yen and exchange of money are desired will be described. Each wrapping coin is packed with 50 coins.

  In s51 of FIG. The search starts at 15. Referring to the stored contents of the RAM 48 shown in FIG. 15 contains 100 yen wrapping coins. Therefore, in s52, since the feeding denominations coincide and the empty state flag is OFF, this tray No. 15 is determined as the feeding tray (s53). Next, tray no. No. 14 contains 10 yen wrapping coins. 14 is also determined as a feeding tray. Also, tray no. 13 contains 1 yen of wrapping coins. 13 is also determined as the feeding tray. Tray No. No. 12 does not become a payout tray because the denominations do not match. Also, tray no. 11 and no. Since 10 is a tray in which a 1-yen wrapping coin and a 100-yen wrapping coin that have already been determined as a payout tray are stored, it is not a payout tray.

  Next, tray no. Reference numeral 9 denotes a tray in which a 5-yen wrapping coin desired by the user is stored. However, since the empty state flag is on, the tray is not a payout tray. Similarly, tray no. 8 is also a tray in which the 50-yen wrapping coins desired by the user are stored. However, since the empty flag is on, it is not a payout tray.

  As a result, the wrapping coin of 50 yen has a tray No. whose empty flag is off. 5 is determined as the feeding tray, and the 5-yen wrapping coin has a tray No. whose empty flag is off. 4 is determined as the feeding tray.

  When the feeding tray is determined in this way, the bucket 23 is set to tray no. Stops at position 15 and a 100-yen wrapping coin is paid out. 14 stops, two 10-yen wrapping coins are fed out, and in order of tray no. 10 wrapping coins of 13 to 1 yen, tray no. One wrapping coin of 5 to 50 yen, tray no. Four wrapping coins of 4 to 5 yen are paid out.

  In addition, in each feeding tray, the contents stored in the RAM 48 are updated every time one is fed out, and the ON / OFF state of the empty flag is changed. If the number to be delivered cannot be fed out, the feeding tray is searched again (s36 → s31 in FIG. 10), and the upper storage tray is searched as the feeding tray.

  Next, operation | movement of the packaging coin process part 16 which concerns on the application example of this embodiment is demonstrated. In addition, the wrapping coin processing unit 16 according to the following application example 1 and application example 2 has the same configuration and function as the wrapping coin processing unit 16 of the above embodiment. Therefore, the description about a structure and function of the packaging coin process part 16 is abbreviate | omitted.

  FIG. 15 is a diagram showing the contents stored in the RAM 48 of the wrapping coin processing unit 16 according to the application example 1, and FIG. 16A constructs the table of FIG. 15 in the wrapping coin processing unit 16 according to the application example 1. 4 is a flowchart showing the operation of the wrapping coin processing unit 16, and FIG. 4B is a flowchart showing the operation of updating the stored contents of the RAM 48 in the application example 1. FIG. 17 is a flowchart showing details of the feeding tray position determination operation in the wrapping coin processing unit 16 according to Application Example 1.

  In application example 1, the overall transaction flow operation is the same as that in the flowchart shown in FIG. 9, and the withdrawal preparation operation, the withdrawal and release operations are the same as those in the flowchart shown in FIG.

  In FIG. 15, the stored contents of the RAM 48 of the wrapping coin processing unit 16 according to the application example 1 are set with a fed-out flag for each tray in addition to the contents of the table shown in FIG. The paid-out flag is turned on when wrapping coins are fed out (in the processing of s33 and s34 in FIG. 10), and is turned off when the storage tray is reloaded by the staff or when the storage tray becomes empty. To do. In this application example 1, the storage tray with the paid-out flag turned on is preferentially selected as the payout tray, and the remaining number of wrapping coins in each storage tray is prevented from being sparse.

  In FIG. 16A, the operation when building the table shown in FIG. 15 (the detailed operation of s22 in FIG. 10) will be described. First, the wrapping coin processing unit 16 detects the number and denomination of each storage tray 29 and stores it in the RAM 48 (s71). Thereafter, it is determined whether or not the storage tray 29 is empty (s72), and if it is empty, the empty state flag is turned on (s73).

  If the empty state flag is turned on or if the storage tray is not empty, it is determined whether or not the denomination of the storage tray has been changed among the contents stored in the RAM 48 (s74). If the denomination has been changed, the fed-out flag is turned off (s75). If the denomination is changed, it is assumed that the clerk has taken out the storage tray and replenished with new wrapping coins and has not paid out. These processes are repeated in each storage tray (s76, s77), and the table of FIG. 15 is constructed.

  Next, in FIG. 17, a feeding tray determination operation (detailed operation of s31 in FIG. 10) of the packaging coin processing unit 16 according to the application example 1 will be described. The packaging coin processing unit 16 searches the plurality of storage trays 29 in order from the lowest level, and preferentially selects the tray that has been paid out. First, a comparison is made from the lowermost tray, and a storage tray to be fed out is searched (s81). As a result of comparison, the tray No. of the storage tray is shown. In step S82, it is determined whether the loaded denomination matches the denomination desired by the user, the empty flag of the storage tray is off, and the paid-out flag is on. If the denominations match, the empty flag is off, and the paid out flag is on, the tray No. Is determined as the feed tray (s83). For the denomination for which the payout tray has been determined, it is assumed that the search has been completed for the denomination desired by the user (s84). Thereafter, it is determined whether or not all denominations desired by the user have been searched (s85). If all denominations can be searched, the operation ends.

On the other hand, if the denomination loaded in s82 and the denomination desired by the user do not match, the empty flag of the storage tray is on, or the paid-out flag is off, or all the numbers in s85 If it is determined that the search is not possible, the storage tray currently being searched is the last number. It is determined whether or not (No. 1 in the example of FIG. 15) (s86). The storage tray is the last No. Otherwise, the search tray is moved up by one (s87), and the process is repeated from the determination of s82 (s87 → s82).

  The storage tray is the last No. Then, the comparison is performed again from the lowermost tray, and the storage tray to be fed out is searched (s86 → s88). As a result of comparison, the tray No. of the storage tray is shown. In step S89, it is determined whether the loaded denomination matches the denomination desired by the user. Here, the fed-out flag is not determined. If the denominations match and the empty flag is off, the tray No. Is determined as a feeding tray (s90). When the processing from s82 to s87 is repeated up to the uppermost storage tray and all the paid-out flags are off, the target denomination has not been paid out, and the search and comparison are performed again in s88 and s89. Is.

For the denomination for which the payout tray has been determined, it is assumed that the search has been completed for the denomination desired by the user (s91). Thereafter, it is determined whether or not all denominations desired by the user have been searched (s92). If all denominations can be searched, the operation ends.

On the other hand, when it is determined that the denomination loaded in s89 does not match the denomination desired by the user, or the empty flag of the storage tray is on, or in s92 it has been determined that the number of items has not been searched The storage tray currently being searched is the last No. It is judged whether it is (No. 1 in the example of FIG. 15) (s93). The storage tray is the last No. Otherwise, the search tray is moved up by one (s94), and the process is repeated from the determination of s89 (s94 → s89). The storage tray is the last No. If so, it is determined that all the denominations desired by the user have not been searched, an error is displayed on the display unit 12 (s95), and the operation ends.

  In FIG. 10, the wrapping coin processing unit 16 moves the bucket 23 sequentially from the bottom to the position of each storage tray based on the feed tray determined in this way (s32), and pays out one wrapping coin (s33). ). At this time, the wrapping coin processing unit 16 detects the denomination, position (tray No.), and empty state of the fed tray, and updates the contents stored in the RAM 48 (s34). In this process, as shown in FIG. 16B, it is determined whether or not the storage tray is empty (s101). If the storage tray is empty, the empty state flag is turned on. Then, the extended flag is turned off (s102). If it is not empty, it is determined that one sheet has been fed out, and the fed-out flag is turned on (s103).

  After that, the wrapping coin processing unit 16 performs the processing of s35 and below in FIG. 10 and releases the wrapping coins.

  As described above, the money discharging device 11 according to the application example 1 releases the wrapping coins to the user. In the above operation, as a specific example, for example, a user inserts a banknote of 10,000 yen, one 100 yen wrapping coin, one 50 wrapping coin, two 10 wrapping coins, and 5 yen. The operation when four wrapping coins and 10 wrapping coins of 1 yen and exchange of money are desired will be described.

  In s81 of FIG. The search starts at 15. Referring to the stored contents of the RAM 48 shown in FIG. 15 contains 100 yen wrapping coins, and the paid-out flag is turned on. Accordingly, in s82, since the feeding denominations coincide, the empty state flag is off, and the feeding completed flag is on, this tray No. 15 is determined as the feeding tray (s83).

  Next, tray no. In FIG. 14, 10-yen wrapping coins are stored, but since the payout flag is off, the payout tray is not provided. Tray No. No. 13 stores 1 yen of wrapping coins, but similarly, since the payout flag is off, it does not become a payout tray. Tray No. No. 12 does not become a payout tray because the denominations do not match. Tray No. No. 11 stores a 1-yen wrapping coin desired by the user, but does not serve as a feeding tray because the paid-out flag is off as described above. Tray No. Since 10 is a tray in which 100 yen wrapping coins for which a feeding tray has already been determined are stored, it is not a feeding tray.

  Next, tray no. Reference numeral 9 denotes a tray in which a 5-yen wrapping coin desired by the user is stored. However, since the empty state flag is on, the tray is not a payout tray. Tray No. Reference numeral 8 denotes a tray in which a 50-yen wrapping coin desired by the user is stored. Since the empty state flag is off and the fed-out flag is on, the tray is determined as a feeding tray.

  Tray No. Reference numeral 7 denotes a tray in which a 10-yen wrapping coin desired by the user is stored. However, since the empty state flag is on, the tray is not a payout tray. Tray No. Reference numeral 6 denotes a tray in which a 10-yen wrapping coin desired by the user is stored. Since the empty flag is off and the fed-out flag is on, the tray is determined as a feeding tray.

  Tray No. Since 5 is a tray in which 50 yen wrapping coins that have already been decided to be dispensed are stored, it does not become a dispense tray. Tray No. Reference numeral 4 denotes a tray in which a 5-yen wrapping coin desired by the user is stored. Since the empty flag is off and the fed-out flag is on, the tray is determined as a feeding tray.

  Tray No. 3 is a tray in which 100-yen wrapping coins that have already been decided to be dispensed are stored, and therefore does not become a dispense tray. Tray No. Reference numeral 2 denotes a tray that stores 1-yen wrapping coins desired by the user. Since the empty state flag is off and the fed-out flag is on, the tray is determined as a feeding tray. Tray No. 1 does not become a payout tray because the denominations do not match.

  When the feeding tray is determined in this way, the bucket 23 is set to tray no. Stops at position 15 and a 100-yen wrapping coin is paid out. It stops at the position of 8 and one 50 yen wrapping coin is paid out. Two wrapping coins of 6 to 10 yen, tray no. 4 wrapping coins of 4 to 5 yen, tray no. Ten wrapping coins of 2 to 1 yen are paid out.

  In each feeding tray, the contents stored in the RAM 48 are updated every time one is fed out, and the on / off state of the empty state flag and the fed-out flag is changed, so that the wrapping coins are emptied in each feeding tray, When the number desired by the user cannot be fed out, the feeding tray is searched again, and the upper storage tray is searched as the feeding tray. If all the fed-out flags are off, the lowermost storage tray among them is searched as the feeding tray. Since it is fed out from the fed-out tray in a concentrated manner, the remaining number of wrapping coins in each storage tray can be prevented from being sparse, and the replenishability of the staff can be improved.

  Next, FIG. 18 is a figure which shows the memory content of RAM48 of the packaging coin process part 16 which concerns on the application example 2, FIG. 19 is the detail of feeding tray position determination operation | movement in the packaging coin process part 16 which concerns on the application example 2. FIG. It is a flowchart which shows.

  In application example 2 as well, the overall transaction flow operation is the same as in the flowchart shown in FIG. 9, and the withdrawal preparation operation, withdrawal and release operation are the same as in the flowchart shown in FIG.

  In FIG. 18, the stored contents of the RAM 48 of the wrapping coin processing unit 16 according to the application example 2 are set to the remaining number for each tray in place of the extended flag column of the table shown in FIG. The remaining number is set as the maximum number that can be loaded when a replenishment operation is performed by an attendant. When the attachment / detachment of each storage tray 29 is detected by the tray fixed position sensor 39, it is considered that the replenishment operation has been performed by the staff. In this application example 2, in order to manage the remaining number of storage trays, it is possible to determine whether or not feeding can be performed before actually feeding when there is a change request from the user. Therefore, error display or the like can be performed promptly.

  The operation when building the table shown in FIG. 18 (the detailed operation of s22 in FIG. 10) is the same as the operation shown in FIG. The operation for updating the table contents (s34) is the same as the operation shown in FIG. Therefore, the description about these operation | movement of the packaging coin process part 16 which concerns on the application example 2 is abbreviate | omitted.

  19, the feeding tray determination operation (detailed operation of s31 in FIG. 10) of the packaging coin processing unit 16 according to the application example 2 will be described. The packaging coin processing unit 16 according to the application example 2 searches the plurality of storage trays 29 in order from the lowest level, and prioritizes storage trays having a remaining number that matches or approximates the number of denominations desired by the user. Select When all the numbers cannot be fed out by one storage tray, a plurality of storage trays are selected as feed trays.

  First, a comparison is made from the lowermost tray, and a storage tray to be fed out is searched (s111). As a result of comparison, the tray No. of the storage tray is shown. Is the same as the denomination that the user wants, the empty flag of the storage tray is off, the remaining number is more than the desired number, and the remaining number closest to the desired number It is determined whether it exists (s112).

If the denominations match, the empty state flag is OFF, the remaining number is equal to or greater than the desired number, and the closest number, the tray no. Is determined as the feeding tray (s113). For the denomination for which the payout tray has been determined, it is assumed that the search has been completed for the denomination desired by the user (s114). Thereafter, it is determined whether or not all denominations desired by the user have been searched (s115). If all denominations can be searched, the operation ends.

On the other hand, the money type loaded in s112 does not match the money type desired by the user, the empty state flag of the storage tray is on, the remaining number is not greater than the desired number, or is not the nearest remaining number, or If it is determined in s115 that all the number of items has not been searched, the currently searched storage tray is the last No. It is determined whether or not (No. 1 in the example of FIG. 18) (s116). The storage tray is the last No. Otherwise, the search tray is moved up by one (s117), and the process is repeated from the determination of s112 (s117 → s112).

  The storage tray is the last No. If so, it is determined whether or not the remaining number of all trays out of the stored contents of the RAM 48 is equal to or greater than the desired delivery number (s118). If the desired number is not exceeded, an error is displayed on the display unit 12 (s119), and the operation ends.

  If the number exceeds the desired number, the comparison is performed again from the lowermost tray, and the storage tray to be fed is searched (s120). As a result of comparison, the tray No. of the storage tray is shown. In step S121, it is determined whether the denomination that is loaded matches the denomination desired by the user, the empty state flag is off, and the remaining number is closest to the desired number. Here, it is not determined whether the remaining number of the storage tray is equal to or more than the desired number. If the denominations match and the empty flag is off, the tray No. Is determined as the feed tray (s122). If it is determined in the process of s112 that one storage tray cannot be paid out, and if the desired number of denominations has not been drawn out as long as the desired number of coins has not been paid out in all of the plurality of storage trays, then again in s88 and s89, Search and compare.

For the denomination for which the payout tray has been determined, it is assumed that the search has been completed for the denomination desired by the user (s123). Thereafter, it is determined whether or not all denominations desired by the user have been searched (s124). If all denominations can be searched, the operation ends.

On the other hand, the denomination loaded in s121 does not match the denomination desired by the user, the empty flag of the storage tray is on, or not the closest remaining number, or all the number can be searched in s124. If it is determined that the storage tray currently searched is the last No. It is determined whether or not (No. 1 in the example of FIG. 18) (s125). The storage tray is the last No. Otherwise, the search tray is moved up by one (s126), and the process is repeated from the determination of s112 (s126 → s120).

  The storage tray is the last No. If so, an error is displayed on the display unit 12 (s125 → s119), and the operation ends.

  As described above, the money discharging device 11 according to the application example 2 releases the wrapping coins to the user. In addition, the money discharge | release apparatus 11 of the application example 2 shall subtract the number of the wrapping coins payed out in the table update operation | movement shown in FIG. Thereby, the remaining number described in the table is updated.

  Next, in the above operation, as a specific example, for example, a user inserts a 10,000 yen banknote, one 100 yen wrapping coin, one 50 yen wrapping coin, two 10 yen wrapping coins. The operation when four 5-yen wrapping coins and ten 1-yen wrapping coins are exchanged will be described.

  In s111 of FIG. The search starts at 15. Referring to the stored contents of the RAM 48 shown in FIG. 15 contains 100-yen wrapping coins, and the remaining number is 15. This tray No. No. 15 is the closest to the desired number, so this tray no. 15 is determined as the feeding tray (s113).

  Next, tray no. In 14, 10 yen wrapping coins are stored, and the remaining number is one. Since the desired number of 10-yen wrapping coins is two, the condition for determination in s112 is not satisfied. However, in the subsequent processing (s121), since the condition that is the tray closest to the desired number is satisfied, it is determined as the feeding tray (s122). At this time, the remaining desired number of 10 yen wrapping coins is one. Since tray 6 is closest to the desired number, tray no. 6 is also determined as a feeding tray (s123).

  If the processing is continued in the same manner, a 50 yen wrapping coin has a tray number which is the remaining number closest to the desired number of one. 5 is determined as the feeding tray. In addition, since the desired number of 5 yen wrapping coins is 4, the tray No. 9 is determined as the feeding tray, and at this time, the remaining desired number is one. Thereafter, the closest tray No. 4 is determined as the feeding tray. Similarly, since the desired number of 1-yen wrapping coins is 10, the tray number No. 13 is determined as the feeding tray, and at this time, the remaining desired number is four. Next closest tray No. 11 is determined as the feeding tray.

  When the feeding tray is determined in this way, the bucket 23 is set to tray no. Stops at position 15 and a 100-yen wrapping coin is paid out. 14 stops and a 10-yen wrapping coin is paid out. 6 wrapping coins of 13 to 1 yen, tray no. Four wrapping coins of 11 to 1 yen, tray no. Three wrapping coins of 9 to 5 yen, tray no. One wrapping coin of 6 to 10 yen, tray no. One wrapping coin of 5 to 50 yen, tray no. One wrapping coin of 4 to 5 yen is paid out.

  In this application example 2, since the remaining number of each storage tray is described in the table, it is possible to determine whether or not the desired number of wrapping coins can be paid out before the bucket 23 is moved. Therefore, it is not necessary to perform a useless feeding operation.

  Note that either one of the operations of the application example 1 and the application example 2 may be selected. FIG. 20 is an example of a screen displayed on the operation of the money discharging apparatus 11 and the display unit 12.
