The front side of the change storage 61 is a storage door 62 that opens and closes the change storage 61. That is, the change storage 61 has an opening 63 on the front side, a storage body 64 into which change is inserted and taken out through the opening 63, and one side in the left-right direction of the opening 63 of the storage body 64. And a storage door 62 that opens and closes the opening 63 by rotating around the vertical axis. The change storage 61 is provided with a storage door sensor (storage door open / close detection means) 65 that detects the open / close state of the storage door 62 and outputs a signal to the control unit 17. The change is stored in the change storage 61 in a state of being stored in a change bag 67 which is a dedicated storage tool.

  As shown in FIG. 3, an engaging member 69 is fixed to the storage door 62 in parallel with the front plate portion 68 constituting the front surface of the machine body 30, and the storage door 64 is attached to the storage door 64. The lock member 71 which locks the storage door 62 in the closed state by engaging with the engagement member 69 is provided so as to be rotatable around a rotation shaft 72 along the left-right direction.

  The locking member 71 extends along a direction orthogonal to the closed storage door 62, is supported by the rotating shaft 72 whose inner side is the center of rotation, and has a claw portion 73 protruding downward on the outer side. The lock piece 74 is provided. The lock piece 74 has a wide wide portion 75 on the rotating shaft 72 side, and a narrow narrow portion 76 that connects the wide portion 75 and the upper edge on the claw portion 73 side. Opposite to the portion 75, a claw portion 73 is formed so as to protrude below the narrow portion 76. The lower surface of the claw portion 73 is an inclined surface 77 that is inclined so as to be positioned on the lower side toward the rotating shaft 72 side.

  The locking member 71 is in a posture in which the narrow portion 76 is orthogonal to the closed storage door 62, and the claw portion 73 is located at the front position of the engaging member 69 from the engaging edge portion 80 of the engaging member 69. Accordingly, the lock piece 74 engages with the engagement edge portion 80 of the engagement member 69 to lock the storage door 62 in the closed state.

  In addition, when the storage door 62 is closed from the open state, the lock member 71 causes the engagement member 69 of the storage door 62 to ride on the inclined surface 77 of the lock piece 74 at the engagement edge portion 80. When the engagement edge 80 exceeds the claw 73, the lock member 71 lowers the claw 73 by its own weight and turns the claw 73 into the engagement edge. Engage with part 80. That is, the lock member 71 automatically locks the storage door 62 in the closed state when the storage door 62 is changed from the open state to the closed state.

  The lock member 71 includes a release operation piece 81 that is provided integrally with the lock piece 74 and extends upward from between the rotation shaft 72 that is the rotation center of the lock piece 74 and the claw portion 73. . Here, the horizontally extending partition plate 82 that forms the bottom surface of the mounting portion main body 54 of the safe mounting portion 51 and forms the ceiling surface of the storage main body 64 of the change storage 61 is vertically moved to the safe door 52 side. The release operation piece 81 has an upper end piece (one end piece) 84 mounted in the safe mounting portion 51 via the through groove 83. It arrange | positions so that it may protrude in the opening part 53 side rather than the banknote storage safe 27 and the coin storage safe 37 shown in FIG. In a state where the lock piece 74 is engaged with the storage door 62, the release operation piece 81 extends vertically upward from the lock piece 74 and protrudes into the safe mounting portion 51.

  Here, the locking member 71 has a posture in which the release operation piece 81 extends vertically upward and the lock piece 74 is orthogonal to the closed storage door 62, and the release operation piece 81 contacts the front end of the through groove 83. Accordingly, further forward rotation of the release operation piece 81, that is, downward rotation of the lock piece 74 is restricted. Further, the lock member 71 is always urged to rotate by its own weight in a direction in which the release operation piece 81 is brought into contact with the front end portion of the through groove 83.

  When the upper end piece 84 projecting into the safe mounting portion 51 of the release operation piece 81 is pressed backward in the safe mounting portion 51, the lock member 71 is integrated with the lock piece 74 around the rotation shaft 72. , The claw portion 73 of the lock piece 74 is raised, and the engagement between the lock piece 74 and the storage door 62 is released.

  A key cylinder 88 operated by a predetermined separate key 87 is disposed on the storage door 62. As shown in FIG. 4, the key cylinder 88 is provided with a rotating member 91 having a key piece 89 projecting in the radial direction and a detection piece 90. The key cylinder 88 rotates only when the corresponding key 87 is inserted. The moving member 91 can be rotated integrally with the key 87.

  In the phase state in which the key 87 is removed, the rotating member 91 has the key piece 89 on the lower side of the claw portion 73 of the lock piece 74 and is separated from the claw portion 73, and the key 87 is inserted to rotate. In other words, when the release operation is performed, the key piece 89 rotates integrally with the key 87 and comes into contact with the claw portion 73 of the lock piece 74 from the lower side to press it upward, thereby raising the claw portion 73. Thus, the lock member 71 is rotated to release the engagement between the claw portion 73 and the engagement member 69. Thereby, the storage door 62 can be opened. The key 87 can be pulled out only when the key piece 89 is separated downward from the lock piece 74. The key cylinder 88 is provided with a release operation sensor (key release operation detection means) 94 that detects the release operation of the key 87 by detecting the detection piece 90 of the rotating member 91.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a weight sensor (presence / absence sensor) 95 that detects the presence and weight of an article to be placed is provided at the bottom of the storage body 64 of the change storage 61.

Next, the operation of the sales deposit machine 11 will be described.
When a start operation is input to the display operation unit 14 in a state where a coin is inserted into the coin deposit unit 31 and a bill is inserted into the bill deposit unit 21, the coin inserted into the coin deposit unit 31 is identified and identified by the coin identification unit 33. Only the coins determined to be normal from the results are temporarily stored in the coin temporary storage unit 35, while the coins determined to be fake, fouled and indistinguishable are rejected to the coin reject unit 36 and similarly inserted into the banknote deposit unit 21. Banknotes identified by the banknote identification unit 23 and only banknotes determined to be normal from the identification result are temporarily stored in the banknote temporary storage unit 25, while banknotes determined to be fake, fouled and unidentifiable are rejected to the banknote rejection unit 26. Let

  Then, based on the identification result, the total amount, denomination amount, etc. are displayed on the display operation unit 14 to confirm to the operator, and when the operator inputs a confirmation operation to the display operation unit 14, the coin is temporarily stored. The coins of the unit 35 are transferred and stored in the coin storage safe 37 loaded in the safe mounting unit 51, and the banknotes of the banknote temporary storage unit 25 are transferred and stored in the banknote storage safe 27 loaded in the safe mounting unit 51. In addition, the total amount based on the identification result, the money amount, etc. are stored.

  On the other hand, when the operator inputs a cancel operation to the display operation unit 14 from the display based on the identification result, the coin temporary storage unit 35 and the banknote temporary storage unit 25 can be pulled out, and these are pulled out and the coins and bills Is taken out by the operator. At this time, the total amount, money amount, etc. based on the identification result are not stored.

  As described above, sales proceeds are appropriately deposited in the sales deposit machine 11.

  Next, in the above-described sales depositing machine 11, the control unit is configured to perform two safe exchange processes, that is, a normal safe exchange change delivery process that is performed at once and a safe exchange change process that performs only safe exchange. The control 17 will be described together with the processing performed by the person in charge of the police with reference to the flowcharts shown in FIGS. 5 and 6.

  On the store side, the sales proceeds are regularly deposited in the sales deposit machine 11 as described above, and the sales proceeds deposited in the sales deposit machine 11 in this manner are periodically in charge of the police company. Recover. The security officer carries the empty bill storage safe 27, the empty coin storage safe 37, and the change bag 67 storing the prepared change to the place of the sales depositing machine 11 from the management center.

  Then, in order for the salesperson to recognize that the sales depositing machine 11 has the authority to perform processing such as safe replacement on the sales depositing machine 11, for example, the display operation unit 14 is predetermined. Log in by entering the PIN number, identification number of the person in charge of police, etc. As shown in FIG. 5, when the control unit 17 is operated to input an appropriate personal identification number and identification number to the display operation unit 14 and login is permitted (step SA1: Yes), first, change is performed. It is determined whether or not the remaining flag is OFF (step SA2). This change change flag is turned on at the end of the safe exchange change delivery process, and turned off at the end of the change takeout process described later. When the change change flag is OFF (step SA2: Yes), change change processing is performed and change is currently taken out from the change storage 61. An input of a predetermined operation for starting the process is accepted. As described above, when the operation input for starting the safe exchange change delivery process is made (step SA3: Yes), the control unit 17 determines the start of the current safe exchange change delivery process (step SA4), and the safe exchange change change is made. A delivery process start signal is output (step SA5).

  Upon receiving this safe exchange change delivery process start signal, the printer unit 15 collects, for example, the store identification information, the collection date and time, and the current safe exchange change delivery process from the information included in the safe exchange change delivery process start signal. A management receipt is printed in which data such as the denomination and amount of money collected and the collection start information are printed on a sheet. Alternatively, the communication unit 16 receiving this safe exchange change delivery process start signal, for example, stores identification information, collection date and time, data such as the collection type and collection amount of sales collected in the current safe exchange change delivery process. And the collection start information are transmitted to the handy terminal owned by the management center or the police officer.

  After outputting the safe change change delivery process start signal, the control unit 17 releases the lock of the safe door 52 by the electromagnetic lock mechanism 57 (step SA6). Then, since the safe door 52 of the safe mounting part 51 can be opened, the security officer opens the safe door 52.

  When a proper password or identification number is not input to the display operation unit 14 and login is not possible (step SA1: No), the control unit 17 determines that there is an abnormality and stores the content of the abnormality. Is output (step SA7). As a result, the display operation unit 14 displays an error message indicating that the password or identification number is not appropriate.

  When the change change flag is ON (step SA2: No), the change change process is not performed and the change is not taken out from the change storage 61 at the present time. Then, the contents of the abnormality are stored and an abnormality signal indicating the fact is output (step SA8). As a result, an error display indicating that the display operation unit 14 has not taken out change is performed. That is, when the safe replacement process start operation is input to the display operation unit 14, the control unit 17 determines whether the release operation sensor 94 detects the release operation of the detection piece 90, that is, the key 87 after the previous safe replacement process. And the lock of the safe door 52 by the electromagnetic lock mechanism 57 is released on the condition that the release operation is detected.

  On the other hand, after unlocking the safe door 52 by the electromagnetic lock mechanism 57 (step SA6), the controller 17 monitors whether the safe door 52 is switched from closed to open by the safe door sensor 58 (step SA9). As described above, when the security officer opens the safe door 52, the safe door sensor 58 detects that the safe door 52 is switched from closed to open (step SA9: Yes).

  In a state where the safe door 52 is opened, the person in charge of the guard takes out, for example, the banknote storage safe 27 and the coin storage safe 37 attached to the safe mounting portion 51 and replaces them with an empty banknote storage safe 27. Then, the coin storage safe 37 is mounted on the safe mounting portion 51. After opening the safe door 52 and before or after the exchange of the banknote storage safe 27 and the coin storage safe 37, the security officer projects into the safe mounting portion 51 with the safe door 52 open. The upper end piece 84 of the release operation piece 81 of the lock member 71 is pressed inward in the safe mounting portion 51, the lock member 71 is rotated about the rotation shaft 72, and the claw portion 73 of the lock piece 74 is moved. Then, the lock piece 74 and the storage door 62 are disengaged from each other, and the storage door 62 is opened. Thereafter, before or after closing the safe door 52, the police officer takes out an empty change bag 67 from the change storage 61 with the storage door 62 opened, and brings a change bag 67 for carrying the change. .

  On the other hand, the control unit 17 detects that the safe door sensor 58 has switched from closing to opening of the safe door 52 (step SA9), and then the storage door sensor 65 causes the storage door 62 to be closed. Whether or not switching to open is monitored (step SA10), and when the storage door 62 is opened as described above, the storage door sensor 65 detects that the storage door 62 is switched from closed to open. (Step SA10: Yes).

  The security officer eventually closes both the storage door 62 and the safe door 52. On the other hand, as described above, the control unit 17 detects that the safe door sensor 58 switches from closing to opening of the safe door 52, and the storage door sensor 65 switches from closing to opening of the storage door 62. When detection is performed in this order (step SA9: Yes, step SA10: Yes), the safe door sensor 58 monitors whether the safe door 52 is switched from open to closed, and the storage door sensor 65 detects the storage door. The presence / absence of switching from opening to closing of 62 is monitored (steps SA11 to SA14).

  When the storage door 62 and the safe door 52 are closed, the control unit 17 detects that the safe door 52 is switched from opening to closing by the safe door sensor 58 (step SA11: Yes), and then the storage door. The door sensor 65 detects that the storage door 62 is switched from open to closed (step SA12: Yes). Alternatively, the safe door sensor 58 does not detect whether the safe door 52 is switched from opening to closing (step SA11: No), and the storage door sensor 65 detects that the storage door 62 is switched from open to closed. (Step SA13: Yes), and thereafter, the safe door sensor 58 detects switching from opening to closing of the safe door 52 (Step SA14: Yes).

  As described above, the safe door sensor 58 detects whether the safe door 52 is switched from opening to closing, and the storage door sensor 65 detects whether the storage door 62 is switched from open to closed. On the condition that the control unit 17 is, the weight of the article stored in the change storage 61 detected by the weight sensor 95 is equal to or more than a predetermined value that can be determined that the change change bag 67 is stored. It is determined whether or not (step SA15). If it is determined that a change change bag 67 is stored by detecting a weight of a predetermined value or more (step SA15: Yes), it is determined that the current safe exchange change delivery process is finished (step SA16). Then, the change change flag is turned on (step SA17), and a safe exchange change delivery process end signal indicating the end of the safe change change delivery process is output (step SA18).

  Upon receiving this safe exchange change delivery process end signal, the printer unit 15 collects, for example, the store identification information, the collection date and time, and the current safe exchange change delivery process from the information included in the safe exchange change delivery process end signal. The management receipt is printed on the sheet with data such as the denomination and amount of money collected and the collection end information. Alternatively, the communication unit 16 receiving this safe exchange change delivery processing end signal, for example, stores identification information, collection date and time, data such as the collection type and collection amount of sales collected in the current safe exchange change delivery process. And the collection end information are transmitted to the handy terminal owned by the management center or the police officer. When the weight of the predetermined value or more is not detected (step SA15: No), the control unit 17 determines that the weight is abnormal, stores the content of the abnormality, and outputs an abnormality signal indicating the fact. (Step SA19). Accordingly, the display operation unit 14 displays an error message indicating that the change bag 67 has not been stored.

  In step SA10 described above, when the storage door sensor 65 does not detect that the storage door 62 is switched from closed to open (step SA10: No), the safe door sensor 58 switches the safe door 52 from opening to closing. Is determined (step SA20), and when it is detected that the safe door sensor 58 switches from opening to closing of the safe door 52 (step SA20: Yes), safe change change delivery processing is performed. Nevertheless, since the safe door 52 is closed without opening the storage door 62, it is determined that there is an abnormality, and the contents of the abnormality are stored and an abnormality signal indicating that is output. (Step SA21). Thereby, the display operation unit 14 displays an error message indicating that the change has been forgotten.

  In step SA3, when the operation input for starting the safe exchange change processing is started instead of the operation input for starting the safe change change delivery process (step SA3: No), the control unit 17 as shown in FIG. Is determined (step SA22), and a safe replacement single processing start signal is output (step SA23).

  Upon receipt of this safe exchange single processing start signal, the printer unit 15 selects, for example, the store identification information, the collection date and time, and the sales collected in the current safe exchange single processing from the information included in the safe exchange single processing start signal. The management receipt which printed the data of collection | recovery money type, collection | recovery amount, etc. and collection | recovery start information on a sheet | seat is issued. Alternatively, upon receiving this safe exchange single processing start signal, the communication unit 16, for example, stores and collects data such as store identification information, collection date and time, collection type and collection amount of sales collected in the current safe exchange single processing. The start information is transmitted to the handy terminal owned by the management center or the security officer.

  After outputting the safe replacement single processing start signal, the control unit 17 unlocks the safe door 52 by the electromagnetic lock mechanism 57 (step SA24). Then, since the safe door 52 of the safe mounting part 51 can be opened, the security officer opens the safe door 52.

  On the other hand, after unlocking the safe door 52 by the electromagnetic lock mechanism 57 (step SA24), the control unit 17 monitors whether the safe door 52 is switched from closed to open by the safe door sensor 58 (step SA25). As described above, when the security officer opens the safe door 52, the safe door sensor 58 detects that the safe door 52 is switched from closed to open (step SA25: Yes).

  In a state where the safe door 52 is opened, the person in charge of the guard takes out, for example, the banknote storage safe 27 and the coin storage safe 37 attached to the safe mounting portion 51 and replaces them with an empty banknote storage safe 27. Then, the coin storage safe 37 is mounted on the safe mounting portion 51 and the safe door 52 is closed.

  On the other hand, the control unit 17 detects from the safe door sensor 58 that the safe door 52 is switched from closed to open (step SA25), and then uses the safe door sensor 58 to change the safe door 52 from open to closed. (Step SA26). When the safe door 52 is closed as described above, the safe door sensor 58 detects whether the safe door 52 is switched from open to closed (step SA26: Yes). ).

  As described above, after the safe door sensor 58 detects that the safe door 52 is switched from closed to open, the safe door sensor 58 detects that the safe door 52 is switched from open to closed. On the condition, the control unit 17 determines the end of the current safe exchange single processing (step SA27), and outputs a safe replacement single processing end signal indicating that (step SA28).

  Upon receipt of this safe exchange single processing end signal, the printer unit 15 receives, for example, the store identification information, the collection date and time, and the sales collected in the current safe exchange single processing from the information included in the safe exchange single processing end signal. The management receipt which printed data, such as collection | recovery money type and collection amount, and collection | recovery completion information on a sheet | seat is issued. Alternatively, upon receiving this safe exchange single processing end signal, the communication unit 16 collects, for example, data such as store identification information, collection date and time, collected money type and collection amount of sales collected by the current safe exchange single processing, and collection. The end information is transmitted to the handy terminal owned by the management center or the security officer.

  On the other hand, if the safe door sensor 58 does not detect that the safe door 52 is switched from open to closed during the safe replacement single processing in step SA26 described above (step SA26: No), the storage door sensor 65, whether the storage door 62 is switched from closed to open is monitored (step SA29). If the storage door sensor 65 detects that the storage door 62 is switched from closed to open (step SA29). SA29: Yes) and the storage door 62 has been opened in spite of the safe replacement single processing, so it is determined that there is an abnormality and the abnormality content is stored and an abnormality indicating that A signal is output (step SA30). As a result, the display operation unit 14 displays an error indicating that the storage door 62 has been opened unnecessarily.

  Next, the change takeout process of the sales deposit machine 11 will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. 7 together with the process performed by the person in charge of withdrawal at the store side.

  The person in charge at the store side regularly takes out the change stored in the sales deposit machine 11. That is, when the person in charge of taking out turns the dedicated key 87 by inserting it into the key cylinder 88 provided on the storage door 62 of the sales deposit machine 11, the rotating member 91 rotates integrally with the key 87, The key piece 89 pushes the claw portion 73 of the lock piece 74 of the lock member 71 upward. As a result, the lock piece 74 disengages the storage door 62 from the engagement edge portion 80 of the engagement member 69, so that the storage door 62 can be opened. Then, the take-out person opens the storage door 62, takes out the change bag 67 from the change storage 61, takes out the change from the change bag 67, and puts the empty change bag 67 into the change storage 61 again. The storage door 62 is closed and the key 87 is returned and pulled out.

  When the key 87 is rotated as described above, the release operation sensor 94 provided in the key cylinder 88 detects the detection piece 90 to detect the presence of the release operation of the key 87. When the release operation 87 is detected (step SB1: Yes), the start of the current change takeout process is determined (step SB2), and then the storage door 62 is switched from closed to open by the storage door sensor 65. The presence or absence of detection is monitored (step SB3). When the storage door sensor 65 detects that the storage door 62 is switched from closed to open (step SB3: Yes), whether or not the storage door sensor 65 detects whether the storage door 62 is switched from open to closed is detected. Monitor (step SB4). When the storage door sensor 65 detects that the storage door 62 is switched from open to closed (step SB4: Yes), the control unit 17 detects the article stored in the change storage 61 detected by the weight sensor 95. Is determined to be within a predetermined range in which it can be determined that an empty change bag 67 is stored (step SB5). When it is determined that the empty change bag 67 is stored by detecting the weight within the predetermined range (step SB5: Yes), it is determined that the change change processing is completed (step SB6), and the change is made. The remaining flag is turned off (step SB7), and a change withdrawal process end signal indicating the end of the current change withdrawal process is output (step SB8).

  In response to the change withdrawal processing end signal, the communication unit 16 transmits a signal indicating that the change withdrawal processing has been completed to the management center. When the weight within the predetermined range is not detected (step SB5: No), the control unit 17 determines that the weight is abnormal, stores the content of the abnormality, and outputs an abnormality signal indicating the fact. (Step SB9). As a result, the display operation unit 14 displays an error message indicating that the change takeout process is abnormal (forgetting change change, forgetting to store empty change bag 67).

  According to the sales deposit machine 11 of the present embodiment described above, the coin door 52 is opened at the time of sales collection, and the coin storage safe 37 and the banknote storage safe storing the sales with respect to the safe mounting portion 51. 27, the empty coin storage safe 37 and the banknote storage safe 27 are mounted instead. When the safe door 52 is opened, the lock member is arranged so as to protrude into the safe mounting portion 51. The release operation piece 81 of 71 is operable, and when the release operation piece 81 is operated, the engagement between the lock piece 74 and the storage door 62 is released. Thereby, the storage door 62 is opened, and change can be put into the change storage 61. Therefore, the electromagnetic lock means dedicated to the storage door 62 becomes unnecessary. Therefore, even if a change storage function is added, an increase in cost can be suppressed. Further, the storage door 62 is provided with a key piece 89 for releasing the engagement between the lock piece 74 and the storage door 62 by being released by a predetermined separate key 87. It is possible to manage the storage and removal of the change thrown into the door 62 without any problem in terms of security.

  In addition, a rotation shaft 72 which is a rotation center is provided on the inner side along a direction orthogonal to the closed storage door 62, and by rotating, the outer claw portion 73 causes the storage door 62 to move to the storage door 62. The key piece 89 presses the claw portion 73 away from the rotation shaft 72 against the lock piece 74 to be engaged and disengaged, so that the claw portion 73 and the storage door 62 are engaged by the key 87. The release force can be reduced and the operability can be improved.

  In addition, a rotation shaft 72 which is a rotation center is provided on the inner side along a direction orthogonal to the closed storage door 62, and by rotating, the outer claw portion 73 causes the storage door 62 to move to the storage door 62. Since the release operation piece 81 extends from between the rotation shaft 72 and the claw portion 73 of the lock piece 74 to be engaged and disengaged, the distance between the rotation shaft 72 and the release operation piece 81 is secured. Thus, the operation force of the lock piece 74 can be reduced, and the release operation piece 81 can be brought close to the storage door 62 while preventing interference, thereby improving the operability.

  Further, when the safe change change delivery process start operation is input to the display operation unit 14, the control unit 17 determines the start of the current safe change change delivery process and locks the safe door 52 by the electromagnetic lock mechanism 57. As a result, the safe door 52 is opened and the bill storage safe 27 and the coin storage safe 37 are exchanged, and the storage door 62 is opened and the change bag 67 containing change is inserted. It will be. At this time, if the work is performed in an appropriate procedure, first, the safe door sensor 58 detects that the safe door 52 is switched from closed to open, and then the storage door 62 is switched from closed to open. The storage door sensor 65 detects that the storage door sensor 65 detects that the storage door 62 has been switched from opening to closing, and the safe door sensor 58 switches from opening to closing the safe door 52. Presence detection is performed. Therefore, if the work is properly performed and these are detected, the control unit 17 determines the end of the current safe exchange change delivery process and outputs a safe exchange change delivery process end signal. Then, upon receipt of this safe exchange change delivery process end signal, for example, a management receipt can be issued, or the end of the operation can be determined on the management center side. On the other hand, during the safe change change delivery process, if the detection order is different from the above, that is, after the safe door sensor 58 detects that the safe door 52 is switched from closed to open, the storage door sensor 65 stores the change. When the safe door sensor 58 detects that the safe door 52 is switched from open to closed without detecting the switch from closing to opening of the storage door 62, the safe change change delivery process is also performed. Regardless, it can be detected that the safe door 52 has been closed without the storage door 62 being opened, that is, the change has not been delivered, and the output of the safe exchange change delivery processing end signal is being regulated. An abnormality can be notified.

  Further, the control unit 17 determines whether or not a release operation of the key 87 is detected by the release operation sensor 94 after completion of the previous safe exchange change delivery process when the safe exchange change delivery process start operation is input to the display operation unit 14. That is, it is determined whether or not the change that was previously input has been taken out, and the safe door 52 by the electromagnetic lock mechanism 57 is provided on the condition that this release operation has been detected, that is, the change that has been previously input has been taken out. Release the lock. For this reason, when the change inserted last time is taken out, the next safe change change delivery process becomes possible, and when the change changed last time is not taken out, the lock of the safe door 52 by the electromagnetic lock mechanism 57 is enabled. Abnormality can be notified while the release is restricted.

  Further, the key piece 89 releases the engagement between the lock piece 74 and the storage door 62 by being released by a predetermined separate key 87, whereby the storage door 62 is opened. The change will be taken out. At this time, if the operation is performed according to an appropriate procedure, the storage door sensor 65 detects that the storage door 62 is switched from closed to open, and the storage door sensor 65 detects whether the storage door 62 is opened or closed. Detection with switching is performed in this order. Therefore, when the release operation of the key 87 is detected by the release operation sensor 94 and the start of the current change take-out process is determined by the release operation sensor 94, the control unit 17 performs the work properly and performs the above-described detection of switching. If so, the end of the change change process is determined and a change change process end signal is output. Then, in response to the change withdrawal processing end signal, for example, the management center can determine the end of the change withdrawal processing operation.

  Further, for example, when a safe exchange without change input is performed, if the control unit 17 inputs a safe replacement single processing start operation to the display operation unit 14, the control unit 17 determines the start of the current safe replacement single processing and performs electromagnetic The lock of the safe door 52 by the lock mechanism 57 is released. As a result, the safe door 52 is opened and the safe is replaced. At this time, if the operation is performed in an appropriate procedure, the safe door sensor 58 detects that the safe door 52 is switched from closed to open, and the safe door sensor 58 detects that the safe door 52 is switched from open to closed. Are performed in this order. Therefore, if the work is properly performed and these detections are made, the control unit 17 determines the end of the current safe replacement single processing and outputs a safe replacement single processing end signal. Then, upon receipt of this safe exchange single processing end signal, a management receipt can be issued, or the end of work can be determined on the management center side. On the other hand, after the safe door sensor 58 detects that the safe door 52 is switched from closed to open, the safe door sensor 58 detects that the safe door 52 is switched from open to closed. When it is detected that the storage door 62 is switched from closed to open, the control unit 17 determines an abnormality and outputs an abnormality signal while restricting the output of the safe replacement single processing end signal. Then, for example, an alarm can be generated in response to the abnormal signal.

  Further, since the weight sensor 95 for detecting the presence and weight of the article is provided, for example, by detecting the presence of the article by the weight sensor 95, it is possible to reliably detect the insertion of the change bag 67. Therefore, it is possible to reliably determine whether the change bag 67 containing change, the empty change bag 67, or the like is inserted.
