Description

The present invention is a coin counting machine to count the coins, cassette loading machines corresponding to the coin counting machine, relates and hardness貨計number storage device.

  Conventionally, in a ticket vending machine, coins of a plurality of denominations are loaded using a cassette safe for each denomination in order to prepare coin change (see, for example, Patent Document 1). In order to store a predetermined number of coins for each denomination in these cassette safes, a coin counter that counts a predetermined number of coins for each denomination is used.

  In this coin counter, when coins are inserted into a hopper and a denomination is set and started, coins in the hopper are fed out and identified, and only coins of the set denomination are paid out from the payout opening. Coins other than the set denomination are collected in the reject box.

For example, when storing change in a cassette safe for 100 yen, start by setting 100 yen by operating the denomination setting unit of the coin counter, and 100 yen coins to be paid out from the payout outlet are 100 yen. Store in cassette safe. When a predetermined number of coins are stored in the 100-yen cassette safe, the 100-yen cassette safe is mounted in a ticket machine.

  The communication unit 66 functions as a denomination information receiving unit that receives the denomination information of the cassette safe 14 notified from the cassette mounting machine 13.

  The control unit 61 collates the denomination information set by the denomination setting unit 28 with the denomination information of the cassette safe 14 notified from the cassette mounting machine 13, and if they match, the coin of the set denomination The counting operation is executed, and if they do not match, the counting operation is prohibited.

  As a result of collating the denomination information set by the denomination setting unit 28 and the denomination information of the cassette safe 14 notified from the cassette mounting machine 13 by the control unit 61, the display unit 27 matches the denomination information. When it does not, it functions as a part of the alarm means for issuing an alarm by display. As an alarm means, you may alarm by a buzzer sound or voice guidance.

  By operating the mode switching button 29 of the operation unit 26, the denomination information set in the denomination setting unit 28 and the normal mode accompanied by collation between the denomination information of the cassette safe 14 notified from the cassette mounting machine 13 and The counting mode (bag removal mode) for counting coins of the set denomination without checking the denomination information can be switched.

  Further, the cassette mounting machine 13 includes a control unit 71 that controls the operation of the cassette mounting machine 13. The control unit 71 includes a denomination reading unit 44 that reads denomination specifying information of the cassette safe 14, and a chute member 51. A chute member position detecting sensor 72 serving as a chute member position detecting means for detecting the position of the first and second communication units 73 communicating with the coin counter 12 are connected.

  The communication unit 73 functions as denomination information notifying means for notifying the coin counter 12 of the denomination information read by the denomination reading unit 44.

  Next, the operation of the coin counting system 11 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  The contents of the work using the coin counting system 11 include a change preparation work for preparing a change by inserting a predetermined number of change coins into the cassette safe 14 of the ticket vending machine, and coins that have not been put in the cassette safe 14 in the bag 53. There is a bag removal and storage operation for counting and storing.

  First, the change preparation work will be described.

  By turning on the power of the coin counter 12 (step 1), the coin counter 12 performs an initial process (step 2) and then enters a standby state (step 3). In the standby state immediately after the power is turned on, the normal mode is automatically set.

  Then, the operator wants to put coins of denominations to be prepared as change into the hopper 24 of the coin counter 12 and put them into the cassette safe 14 in accordance with the denomination setting knob 31 of the coin counter 12. Enter the number of coins.

  Further, the operator inserts and mounts the cassette safe 14 into the cassette mounting portion 41 of the cassette mounting machine 13 and turns the key of the cassette safe 14 to open the shutter 18. Further, it is visually confirmed that the chute member 51 is disposed at the guide position below the coin payout exit 25 of the coin counter 12.

  Thereafter, the operator operates the start button of the operation unit 26 of the coin counter 12.

  In the cassette loading machine 13, when the cassette safe 14 is loaded, the denomination reading unit 44 acquires the denomination information of the cassette safe 14, and notifies the coin counter 12 of the denomination information of the cassette safe 14. Yes.

  The coin counter 12 collates the denomination information set in the denomination setting knob 31 with the denomination information of the cassette safe 14 notified from the cassette mounting machine 13 by the operation of the start button (matching in step 4). .

  If the denomination information matches as a result of the collation, the coin counting in the hopper 24 by the coin counter of the coin counter 12 in the normal mode and the dispensing operation are started (step 5). In the coin counting unit, the coins guided from the hopper 24 by the rotating disk are fed one by one to the conveyance path and conveyed, and the denomination of the coin is identified by the identification sensor 64 provided on the conveyance path. The coin of the corresponding denomination is transported to the end of the transport path and is paid out from the coin payout exit 25. The coins dispensed from the coin dispensing outlet 25 are stored in the cassette safe 14 through the chute member 51 and the coin receiving port 49 of the cassette mounting machine 13 from the opening 17 where the shutter 18 is opened.

  If there is a coin other than the set denomination, a counterfeit coin, an indistinguishable coin, or the like as a result of identification by the identification sensor 64, it is removed by the reject unit 65 and paid out to the reject port.

  During this counting and payout operation, for example, the denomination setting position 31 is accidentally touched, the denomination setting position is shifted, or the cassette safe 14 is accidentally removed, so that the set denomination information and the cassette safe If the denomination coincidence with 14 denomination information changes (stop pressing in step 5 or denomination coincidence change), it is determined as abnormal, and the counting and payout operation is forcibly stopped (step 6). . If it is determined that this abnormality has occurred, the operation is canceled by, for example, operating the clear button of the operation unit 26. Also, when the stop button of the operation unit 26 is operated, the counting and payout operation is forcibly stopped.

  When the set number of coins is counted, the counting and paying-out operation is stopped (end of counting in step 5).

  Then, the operator turns the key of the cassette safe 14 to close the shutter 18 and pulls out the cassette safe 14 from the cassette mounting portion 41 of the cassette mounting machine 13. This completes the input of change into the cassette safe 14, that is, the change preparation is completed.

  The cassette safe 14 that has been prepared for change is loaded into a ticket vending machine and used as a change coin when purchasing a ticket.

  On the other hand, if the denomination information does not match as a result of the collation (mismatch in Step 4), the counting and payout operations are not performed, and the denomination set in the denomination setting knob 31 and the denomination of the cassette safe 14 Is displayed on the display unit 27 as a warning (step 7). At this time, a warning sound may be emitted simultaneously.

  When the cassette safe 14 is mounted on the cassette mounting machine 13 (with denomination information), the chute member position detection sensor 72 detects that the chute member 51 is in the retracted position. Even if the set denomination information matches the denomination information of the cassette safe 14 and the start button is operated, the counting and payout operations are not executed. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the coins paid out from the coin payout outlet 25 from being scattered on the floor or the like in a state where the chute member 51 is forgotten to be moved to the guide position.

  Next, bag removal and storage work will be described.

  The operator inserts the coin of the denomination to be bagged into the hopper 24 of the coin counter 12 and matches the denomination setting knob 31 of the coin counter 12 with the denomination to be counted, and the mode switch button 29 of the coin counter 12 To set the counting mode (bag removal mode) (step 8).

  Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the operator retracts the chute member 51 from the guide position below the coin dispensing outlet 25 of the coin counter 12 to the side retracted position, and attaches the bag 53 to the coin dispensing outlet 25. .

  Thereafter, the operator operates the start button of the operation unit 26 of the coin counter 12.

  In the coin counter 12, when the start button is operated during standby in the counting mode (bag taking mode) (step 8), the hopper by the coin counting unit of the coin counter 12 in the counting mode (bag taking mode) is operated. The coin counting and dispensing operations in 24 are started (step 9).

  When the counting and paying-out operation of all coins in the hopper 24 is completed (the counting in step 9 is completed), the apparatus is on standby in the counting mode.

  Then, the bag 53 is removed from the coin payout exit 25 by the operator. This completes the bag storage operation of coins.

  In addition, when the stop button of the operation unit 26 is operated during the counting / dispensing operation in this counting mode (bag removal mode) (pressing the stop in step 9), the counting / dispensing operation is forcibly stopped (step 10) Waiting in counting mode.

  In addition, during the counting and dispensing operations in this counting mode (bag removal mode), the cassette safe 14 was mounted on the cassette mounting unit 41 of the cassette mounting machine 13, and the denomination reading state at the denomination reading unit 44 changed. If this is the case (change in cassette state in step 9), the counting and dispensing operations are forcibly stopped (step 11) and the mode returns to the normal mode.

  During standby in the counting mode (bag removal mode), the mode change button 29 of the coin counter 12 is pressed to set to the normal mode, or the cassette safe 14 is mounted on the cassette mounting portion 41 of the cassette mounting machine 13. When the denomination reading state in the denomination reading unit 44 changes (cassette state change in step 9), the standby state in the normal mode is entered.

  When the chute member position detection sensor 72 of the cassette mounting machine 13 detects that the chute member 51 is in the retracted position, regardless of the denomination information of the cassette safe 14 from the cassette mounting machine 13, or Controls not to send the denomination information of the cassette safe 14 from the cassette mounting machine 13, counts based on the denomination information set in the denomination setting knob 31 of the coin counter 12, and executes the bag removal storage work May be.

  Thus, in the coin counting system 11, the denomination information set by the coin counter 12 is collated with the denomination information of the cassette safe 14 notified from the cassette mounting machine 13, and if they match, the set money is Since the counting operation of the seed coins is executed and the counting operation is prohibited when they do not match, the correct coin type coinciding with the denomination of the cassette safe 14 can be counted and stored in the cassette safe 14. Therefore, it is possible to reliably prevent the wrong denomination of coins from being dispensed from the ticket vending machine.

  In addition, when the denomination information does not match, an alarm can be issued to notify that there is an error in the denomination.

  Since the counting mode (bag removal mode) can be set, coins can be counted from the cassette mounting machine 13 without using denomination information.

  The coin counter 12 may automatically set the denomination information of the cassette safe 14 received from the cassette mounting machine 13 as the positive denomination of the coin to be counted, and count the coins of the denomination. . In this case, the denomination setting in the coin counter 12 is unnecessary, and an erroneous denomination setting can be prevented.

  In addition to the slit 19 and the hole 20 provided in the cassette safe 14, a bar code or an IC tag may be attached to the cassette safe 14 as the denomination specifying information of the cassette safe 14. In this case, a bar code reader or an IC tag reader is used as the denomination reading unit 44 of the cassette mounting machine 13.

  Moreover, although the coin counter 12 and the cassette mounting machine 13 are provided separately, they may be integrated.

  Further, the connection form between the cassette safe 14 and the cassette mounting machine 13 is not limited to that in which the cassette safe 14 is inserted into the cassette mounting machine 13 as long as denomination information and coins can be exchanged. Absent.
