When the number of coins carried by the coin detection sensor 27 is counted, the coins are discharged from the discharge port 16a and accumulated on the receiving tray 16, and the coins of the withdrawal breakdown are all accumulated on the receiving tray 16. Number of coins counted by sensor 27 and each coin receipt If the number of out Repetitive coins from cabinet 18 are coincident, the drive motor 24 is opening operation of the dispensing port shutter 17, waits for a predetermined period of time in the open state of the coin outlet 15.

  Then, the control unit 5 uses the drive motor 24 after a certain waiting time after the remaining detection sensor 26 detects that the customer has taken out the accumulated coins from the tray 16 of the opened coin dispensing opening 15. The coin outlet shutter 17 is closed to close the coin outlet 15.

  At this time, even if the predetermined time has elapsed, if the residual detection sensor 26 detects a coin present on the bottom of the tray 16, the control unit 5 determines that the customer has forgotten to collect the coin, and removes the coin. In order to collect the forgotten coins into the coin reject box 20, the bottom opening / closing door 23 of the tray 16 is rotated around the rotation fulcrum 23a from the closed position shown by the two-dot chain line in FIG. 5 to the open position shown by the solid line.

After a predetermined time has passed, the bottom opening / closing door 23 is rotated to the closed position and waits for the next customer to select a transaction. .

  When the number of coins counted by the coin detection sensor 27 and the number of coins fed out from each coin storage 18 do not match, the control unit 5 determines that there is a mistake in withdrawing the coins, and withdraws the coins. In order to collect the wrong coins into the coin reject box 20, the bottom opening / closing door 23 is rotated to the open position in the same manner as described above with the dispensing port shutter 17 closed, and the coin with the wrong withdrawal of the tray 16 is recovered. Is dropped into the coin reject box 20 and collected. After a predetermined time has elapsed, the bottom opening / closing door 23 is rotated to the closed position, and the coins for withdrawal are again fed out from the coin storage boxes 18 to perform the above-described withdrawal operation. Execute.

  The coin withdrawal machine 14 according to the present embodiment does not include a coin discriminating unit, a stacking mechanism of the coin storage 18, a conveyance path between them, and the like. There are cases where coins are not paid out during one feeding operation due to a feeding failure during feeding, or two or more coins are fed out in one feeding operation, and are provided as a recovery measure in that case. ing.

  When collecting the coins such as forgotten coins or coins with incorrect withdrawal to the coin reject box 20, when the bottom opening / closing door 23 is rotated to the closed position after a predetermined time has elapsed, a residual detection sensor 26 detects the coins present on the bottom of the tray 16, the control unit 5 determines that the coin has stuck to the bottom opening / closing door 23 due to coin powder, sebum, etc., and opens the bottom again. A collection operation is performed in which the door 23 is rotated to the open position, and a retry is performed a predetermined number of times (for example, three times) to rotate the door 23 to the closed position after a predetermined time has elapsed.

  When the residual detection sensor 26 detects the recovered coins present on the bottom of the tray 16 even after the recovery operation is performed, the control unit 5 allows the recovered coins remaining on the bottom opening / closing door 23 to be stuck. In order to forcibly drop the coin into the coin reject box 20 by vibration, a pasted coin collecting process is executed.

  In other words, the control unit that determines the remaining stuck coin rotates the bottom opening / closing door 23 to the open position, confirms the operating state of the adjacent banknote depositing / dispensing machine 12, and the banknote depositing / dispensing machine 12 performs a transaction with the customer. If it is being executed, it waits for the stop of driving of the banknote transport path 38 or the end of the transaction, and when the banknote transport path 38 of the banknote depositing / dispensing machine 12 is stopped or the transaction by the banknote depositing / dispensing machine 12 is terminated, The drive motor of the banknote conveyance path 38 of the banknote depositing / dispensing machine 12 is rotated to cause the banknote conveyance path 38 to perform an empty conveyance operation.

  At this time, due to the operation of the banknote transport path 38 of the banknote depositing / dispensing machine 12, vibrations generated from the drive motor, roller pair, belt pair, etc. of the banknote transport path 38 are caused by both the banknote depositing / dispensing machine 12 and the coin dispensing machine 14. The vibration is transmitted to the coin opening / closing door 23 via the frame of the coin dispensing machine 14 via the frame of the coin dispensing machine 14, and the bottom opening / closing door. The recovered coins 23 are vibrated and peeled off and recovered to the coin reject box 20.

  Since the operation of the banknote transport path 38 of the banknote depositing / dispensing machine 12 in this case is based on a normal rotation operation, the customer is not distrusted or discomforted, and the customer does not have an abnormality in the automatic teller machine 1. It is possible to prevent a situation such as feeling and reporting to maintenance personnel.

  Thereafter, the control unit 5 rotates the bottom opening / closing door 23 to the closed position, confirms the absence of the collected coins at the bottom of the tray 16 by the residual detection sensor 26, and performs each operation after collecting the collected coins described above. Run.

  As described above, in this embodiment, when the bottom opening door of the tray of the coin dispenser is opened and the collected coins are dropped into the coin reject box, the collected coins remain on the bottom opening door. The coins of the recovered coins are operated by operating the banknote conveyance path of the adjacent banknote depositing and dispensing machine and dropping the recovered coins remaining on the bottom opening / closing door by vibration transmitted through the apparatus main body. Even if recovery coins are stuck on the bottom door when collecting to the reject box, the coins can be peeled off by the vibration transmitted to the bottom door and dropped to the coin reject box and easily recovered. It is possible to improve the operating efficiency of the automatic cash transaction apparatus by preventing the automatic transaction apparatus from being stopped.

  Below, the automatic teller machine of a present Example is demonstrated using FIG. In addition, the same part as the said Example 1 attaches | subjects the same code | symbol, and abbreviate | omits the description.

  In FIG. 7, reference numeral 41 denotes a connection mechanism, which is disposed between the frames of the coin dispensing machine 14 and the banknote depositing / dispensing machine 12, and includes a connecting / disconnecting means such as an electromagnet that enables connection and separation between them. It has a function of connecting and disconnecting the coin dispensing machine 14 and the banknote depositing / dispensing machine 12 by ON / OFF operation of the separating / connecting means.

  Since the coin dispensing operation and the collected coin collecting operation by the coin dispensing machine 14 of the automatic teller machine 1 according to the present embodiment are the same as those in the first embodiment, the description thereof is omitted.

  The pasted coin recovery process of the present embodiment is executed as follows.

  In other words, the control unit that determines the remaining stuck coin rotates the bottom opening / closing door 23 to the open position, confirms the operating state of the adjacent banknote depositing / dispensing machine 12, and the banknote depositing / dispensing machine 12 performs a transaction with the customer. If it is being executed, it waits for the stop of driving of the banknote transport path 38 or the end of the transaction, and when the banknote transport path 38 of the banknote depositing / dispensing machine 12 is stopped or the transaction by the banknote depositing / dispensing machine 12 is terminated, With the connection mechanism 41 in the connected state, the drive motor of the banknote transport path 38 of the banknote depositing / dispensing machine 12 is rotated to cause the banknote transport path 38 to perform an empty transport operation.

  At this time, as in the first embodiment, the vibration generated by the operation of the banknote transport path 38 of the banknote depositing / dispensing machine 12 is the apparatus main body 1a in which both the banknote depositing / dispensing machine 12 and the coin dispensing machine 14 are mounted. And indirectly through the slide rail 11 and directly to the coin dispenser 14 via the connection mechanism 41, and the vibration is transmitted to the bottom opening / closing door 23 opened via the frame of the coin dispenser 14. The bottom open / close door 23 is vibrated and the collected coins attached thereto are peeled off and collected into the coin reject box 20.

  Since the operation of the banknote transport path 38 of the banknote depositing / dispensing machine 12 in this case is based on a normal rotation operation, the customer is not distrusted or discomforted, and the customer does not have an abnormality in the automatic teller machine 1. It is possible to prevent a situation such as feeling and reporting to maintenance personnel.

  Moreover, since the banknote depositing / withdrawing machine 12 and the coin dispensing machine 14 of this embodiment are directly connected by a connection mechanism, more vibrations are generated from the drive motor, the banknote transport path 38, and the like. It can be transmitted to the machine 14, and the attached coin can be peeled off more easily.

  Thereafter, the control unit 5 rotates the bottom opening / closing door 23 to the closed position, confirms the absence of the collected coins at the bottom of the tray 16 by the residual detection sensor 26, and performs each operation after collecting the collected coins described above. Run.

  As described above, in this embodiment, in addition to the same effects as in the first embodiment, the connection mechanism causes the coin dispensing machine and the banknote depositing / dispensing machine to operate during the operation of the banknote transport path 38 of the banknote depositing / dispensing machine. Since the vibration is further transmitted via the connection mechanism, the vibration of the banknote depositing / dispensing machine can be directly transmitted via the connection mechanism, and the collected coins can be collected into the coin reject box. Sometimes it is easier to peel off the affixed coins.

  In the first embodiment and the second embodiment, when the pasted coins remaining on the bottom opening / closing door 23 are dropped onto the coin reject box 20, the empty coins are transferred to the banknote transport path 38 of the adjacent banknote depositing / dispensing machine 12. Although it demonstrated as making it operate | move, you may make it perform the simulation conveyance operation | movement which operates the banknote conveyance path 38 to the banknote conveyance path 38 of the banknote depositing / withdrawing machine 12 actually conveying a banknote.

  In this case, even if the banknotes to be conveyed are re-stored as the banknote storage 33 of the banknotes that are fed out and the banknotes are stored in the banknotes storage 33 of the banknotes that have been fed out, the replenishment collection cassette 37 or the banknote storage 33 is used. Etc., and the transport destination may be an arbitrary combination such as the banknote deposit / withdrawal port 31, the temporary storage unit 34, the replenishment / collection cassette 37, etc. The number of banknotes to be transported may be one or plural. .

  In this way, more driving torque is required for actually transporting the banknotes compared to the driving torque of the driving motor due to the empty transporting operation of the banknote transporting path 38, and more current is required for the driving motor. Therefore, the vibration generated from the drive motor, the bill conveyance path 38 and the like becomes large, and the attached coin can be peeled off more easily.

  Or you may make it make the banknote conveyance path 38 of the banknote depositing / withdrawing machine 12 perform the mechanical operation | movement which confirms the operation | movement confirmation of a part or all the banknote conveyance path 38 simultaneously. If it does in this way, the vibration which generate | occur | produces with the banknote depositing / withdrawing machine 12 can be made still larger, and peeling of a sticking coin can be performed still more easily.

  Below, the automatic teller machine of a present Example is demonstrated using FIG. In addition, the same part as the said Example 1 attaches | subjects the same code | symbol, and abbreviate | omits the description.

  The configuration of the automatic teller machine 1 and the coin dispenser 14 of this embodiment is the same as that of the first embodiment.

  A pulse motor is used as the drive motor 24 of the dispensing port shutter 17 of this embodiment (referred to as a pulse motor 24 in this embodiment).

  The pulse motor 24 is a motor that rotates at a rotational angle corresponding to the number of pulses supplied, and is similar to the vibration characteristic of the motor body shown in FIG. It is known that when the shutter 17 is driven in an opening operation direction (referred to as a positive direction), a resonance phenomenon occurs in which the rotation cannot be normally performed in the positive direction in a state similar to step-out.

  In the following description, the drive frequency that causes this resonance phenomenon is referred to as the resonance frequency. The resonance frequency is a drive frequency that exhibits a peak in the vibration characteristics due to each drive current shown in FIG.

  When this resonance phenomenon occurs, the pulse motor 24 repeats the operation of returning to the original position after rotating in the range of one pulse or less in the positive direction in an attempt to generate rotational torque. In addition, vibration is generated on the rotating shaft of the pulse motor 24.

  In this embodiment, the pulse motor 24 is intentionally driven at a resonance frequency (in this embodiment, a resonance frequency of 337 pps which is the peak of the drive current 600 mA shown in FIG. 8), and the vibration of the rotating shaft accompanying the resonance phenomenon is used. Then, the collected coins attached to the bottom opening / closing door 23 of the tray 16 are dropped.

  Although the resonance frequency varies depending on the motor specifications, it is possible to know the resonance frequency because it is published by the manufacturer.

  Since the coin dispensing operation and the collected coin collecting operation by the coin dispensing machine 14 of the automatic teller machine 1 according to the present embodiment are the same as those in the first embodiment, the description thereof is omitted.

  The pasted coin recovery process of the present embodiment is executed as follows.

  That is, the control unit that has determined that the stuck coins remain, rotates the bottom opening / closing door 23 to the open position, and sends a drive pulse in the forward rotation direction to the pulse motor 24 that is the drive motor of the dispensing outlet shutter 17 in the closed state. The pulse motor 24 is driven by supplying at the resonance frequency.

  At this time, a vibration due to a resonance phenomenon is generated from the pulse motor 24, and the vibration is transmitted to the bottom opening / closing door 23 opened through the frame of the coin dispenser 14, and the bottom opening / closing door 23 vibrates and sticks to the opening / closing door 23. The attached collected coins are peeled off and collected in the coin reject box 20.

  In this case, the vibration due to the driving of the pulse motor 24 at the resonance frequency to which the drive pulse in the forward rotation direction is supplied, for example, resonates the drive pulse in the reverse rotation direction that rotates the withdrawal port shutter 17 in the closed state in the closing operation direction. Compared with the step-out vibration generated by intentionally supplying at a driving frequency other than the frequency and stepping out the pulse motor 24, the vibration is small. A pleasant feeling is not given and the situation where a customer feels abnormality of the automatic teller machine 1 and reports to a maintenance worker etc. can be prevented.

  Thereafter, the control unit 5 rotates the bottom opening / closing door 23 to the closed position, confirms the absence of the collected coins at the bottom of the tray 16 by the residual detection sensor 26, and performs each operation after collecting the collected coins described above. Run.

  As described above, in this embodiment, when the bottom opening door of the tray of the coin dispenser is opened and the collected coins are dropped into the coin reject box, the collected coins remain on the bottom opening door. The same effect as that of the first embodiment is achieved by driving a pulse motor that opens and closes the dispensing port shutter at a resonance frequency and dropping the recovered coins remaining on the bottom opening / closing door by the vibration. Can be obtained.

  In each of the above embodiments, the case where the present invention is applied to an automatic teller machine has been described as an example. However, if coins are replaced with medals, it corresponds to a deposited banknote installed in a game hall or the like. It is also possible to apply to a medal issuing machine that issues medals.
