  Next, the operation of the coin processing device 10 having such a configuration will be described.

  First, an operation when the deposit processing is performed in the coin processing device 10 will be described. When the operator inserts a coin into the depositing unit 20 through the depositing port 12 when the depositing process is performed in the coin processing apparatus 10, the deposited coins accepted by the depositing unit 20 are deposited and conveyed one by one from the feeding unit 31. The sheet 32 is fed to the portion 32, and is conveyed by the deposit conveyance portion 32.

  The coin transported by the deposit transport unit 32 is identified by the identification unit 33. Then, the deposit reject coin which is not to be processed or can not be identified is sorted by the deposit reject coin sorting unit and sent to the deposit reject box 15. In addition, the normal deposited coins are sorted by the denomination sorting unit and temporarily stored in the denomination by the temporary storage unit 21. The deposit reject box 15 storing deposit reject coins can be taken out of the casing 11 to be able to take out deposit reject coins. The deposit reject box 15 may not be a box type that is pulled out from the housing 11, but may be a type in which a front shutter is opened to take out a coin.

  After coins are held in temporary holding unit 21, when a deposit approval instruction is given by the operator to a control unit (not shown) of coin processing device 10, holding frame 38 of temporary holding unit 21 is placed on gold box 23. The coin is moved, and the deposited coin is discharged from the temporary storage unit 21 and stored in the gold box 23 by denomination. Usually, the deposited coin is stored in the gold box 23, but if the deposit reserve of the denomination in the storage and delivery unit 22 is small, the temporarily stored deposited coin may be stored in the storage and delivery unit 22. Good.

  In addition, after coins are held in the temporary holding unit 21, when the operator gives a return command to the control unit (not shown) of the coin processing device 10, the bottom plate of the temporary holding unit 21 moves open and temporarily holds. The return coin is discharged from the unit 21 and stored in the return box 14. The return box 14 storing the return coins can be taken out of the housing 11 to take out the return coins.

  Next, the operation at the time of performing the dispensing process in the coin processing device 10 will be described. When the dispensing process is performed in the coin processing device 10, dispensing coins for a predetermined number of dispensed sheets are dispensed by the dispensing mechanism 50 from the storage and delivery unit 22 of the target denomination of dispensing. The withdrawal coin dispensed by the delivery mechanism 50 is conveyed to the front side by the lateral conveyance unit 24 and is discharged to the withdrawal temporary storage unit 60. Discrimination unit 61 discriminates and counts the dispensed coins which are discharged from horizontal transport unit 24 to dispensed temporary storage unit 60.

  Dispensing of the withdrawal coin for the withdrawal amount from the storing and feeding unit 22 is completed, and the withdrawal coin for the withdrawal amount is discharged from the horizontal conveyance unit 24 to the withdrawal temporary storage unit 60 by the determination in the determination unit 61 When it is confirmed that the withdrawal withholding unit 60 moves to the withdrawal box 13 side, withdrawal coins are discharged from the withdrawal withholding unit 60 and stored in the withdrawal box 13. The dispensing box 13 is moved to a lower receiving position (that is, a solid line position in FIG. 3) and stands by in advance.

  Thereafter, the withdrawal temporary storage unit 60 returns to the position for receiving the withdrawal coins from the horizontal conveyance unit 24, and the withdrawal box 13 storing the withdrawal coins is taken out upward by the lift 62 (that is, the two-dot chain line in FIG. 3). Move to position). Then, the withdrawal coin can be taken out by pulling out the withdrawal box 13 from the housing 11.

  When the dispensing box 13 from which the dispensing coins have been taken out is returned to the inside of the housing 11, the dispensing box 13 is moved to the lower receiving position by the lift 62, and at the receiving position to prepare for the transport of the next dispensing coin. stand by.

  Next, an operation when the collecting process is performed in the coin processing device 10 will be described. The collection process is a process of transferring the coins in the storage and delivery unit 22 to the gold box 23. By this process, the amount of coins in the storage and delivery unit 22 is reduced, and the examination process and the recovery process to be described later are easily performed in a short time. Make it possible. More specifically, in the collection process, the amount of coins in the storage and delivery unit 22 is set to a smaller amount than the amount of coins temporarily escrowable by the escrow unit 21 while leaving a predetermined dispensing reserve.

  When collection processing is performed in the coin processing device 10, the coin fed out by the feeding mechanism 50 from the storage and feeding unit 22 is sent to the temporary holding unit 21 through the horizontal conveyance unit 24, the vertical conveyance unit 25, and the depositing unit 20. The coin is sent from the temporary holding unit 21 to the gold box 23. As described above, since the depositing unit 20 and the temporary storage unit 21 pass along the same path as the depositing process, the depositing process can not be performed during the collection process.

  Next, the operation at the time when the coin processing device 10 performs the inspection process will be described. The inspection process is a process of taking out all the coins stored in the storage and delivery unit 22 for each denomination, performing identification and counting, and returning the coins to the storage and delivery unit 22 of the corresponding denomination. When the coin processing device 10 performs the inspection process, the coin delivered by the delivery mechanism 50 from the storage and delivery unit 22 is sent to the temporary storage unit 21 through the horizontal transport unit 24, the vertical transport unit 25, and the depositing unit 20. Are put on hold temporarily. Here, when the coin is transported by the depositing / conveying unit 32 in the depositing unit 20, identification and counting are performed by the identifying unit 33. The coin identified by the identification unit 33 is temporarily held by the temporary holding unit 21. Then, when all the coins are fed out from the storage and delivery unit 22 and stored in the temporary storage unit 21, the coins in the temporary storage unit 21 are discharged to the original storage and delivery unit 22, whereby the original storage and delivery unit 22 is obtained. Coins will be returned to. Such an operation is sequentially performed on the storage and delivery unit 22 of each denomination.

  The coins determined to be rejected by the identification unit 33 during the close inspection process are not sent to the deposit reject box 15, but are sent to the batch hold unit 21a, and are sent from the batch hold unit 21a to the batch storage box 22a. Be This is to ensure that the coins in the storage and delivery unit 22 to be subjected to the close inspection process are managed at the internal height of the machine, and therefore are not sent to the deposit reject box 15 and taken out from the outside.
