  Similarly, when the drive circuit 81B is positively driven, the withdrawal port side magnet 73B is excited so as to have a predetermined polarity and is in an attracting state for attracting the opposing carton side magnetic body 72B. In the attracted state, the withdrawal port side magnet 73B and the carton side magnetic body 72B are attracted to each other with a strong attracting force that makes it impossible to manually remove the carton 22B from the coin dispensing port 33. In addition, when the drive of the drive circuit 81B is stopped and the excitation is released, the dispensing port side magnet 73B cancels the adsorption state, and the adsorption force is weaker than the adsorption state of the carton magnetic body 72B made of a permanent magnet. It will be in the adsorption | suction cancellation | release state for waiting | standby which adsorbs by. In the standby suction release state, the withdrawal opening side magnet 73B and the carton side magnetic body 72B are attracted to each other with an attracting force that allows the carton 22B to be manually taken out. In addition, when the drive circuit 81B is reversely driven, the outlet side magnet 73B is excited so as to have a polarity opposite to that of the previous one, and for dispensing with which the cartridge side magnetic body 72B which is a permanent magnet repels. It becomes the suction release state.

  In other words, the withdrawal port side magnets 73A and 73B release the adsorption state by adsorbing the opposing ones of the carton side magnetic bodies 72A and 72B with a strong adsorption force and with an adsorption force weaker than this adsorption state. It is possible to individually switch between a suction release state for standby and a suction release state for withdrawal that repel each other.

  Here, even if the carton 22B is not in the coin outlet 33, when the carton 22A is disposed close to the left wall portion 36A and positioned at the left set position, the set detection sensor 83A detects the carton 22A. . Similarly, even if the carton 22A is not in the coin outlet 33, when the carton 22B is disposed close to the right side wall 36B and is located at the right set position, the set detection sensor 83B detects the carton 22B. . That is, the set detection sensor 83 </ b> A detects the carton 22 </ b> A only when the carton 22 </ b> A is arranged at the left set position in the coin dispensing port 33, and the set detection sensor 83 </ b> B detects the carton 22 </ b> B in the coin dispensing port 33. The carton 22B is detected only when it is inserted in the right set position of the.

  The processor main body 21 has a removal detection sensor 85A that detects that the carton 22A has been removed from the coin outlet 33, and a removal detection sensor 85B that detects that the carton 22B has been removed from the coin outlet 33. Is provided on the opening side of the wall portions 36A, 36B, etc. of the coin outlet 33. The takeout detection sensors 85A and 85B are, for example, optical reflection type sensors and detect that the carton is taken out from the coin outlet 33 based on the fact that the reflected light is not detected, and the carton is at the coin outlet 33 Is detected by detecting the reflected light from the carton. Note that the removal detection sensors 85A and 85B may be provided on the opening side of the coin dispensing port 33, and may be provided on the opening side of the mounting portion 35 and the ceiling portion 34 in addition to the wall portions 36A and 36B. Anyway.

  The carton 22A set at the left set position is in a state in which the carton-side magnetic body 72A, which is a permanent magnet, is attracted to the withdrawal port-side magnet 73A that is not excited with a weak attracting force that can be manually released. . Similarly, the Carton 22B set at the right set position is such that the Carton-side magnetic body 72B, which is a permanent magnet, is attracted to the dispensing port-side magnet 73B which is not in the excited state with a weak adsorption force that can be manually released. It becomes the state.

  As shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the processing machine body 21 has a lamp 84A such as an LED lamp which can be lighted, blinked and extinguished on the machine front 21a at a position just above the coin outlet 33. , 84B (notification section). The ramp 84A is provided in the left-right direction in alignment with the karton 22A set at the left set position so that it becomes clear that the ramp 84A corresponds to the carton 22A set at the left set position one by one. The lamp 84B is provided so as to match the position in the left-right direction with the carton 22B set at the right set position.

  The processor control unit 90 (control unit) shown in FIG. 2 of the processor main body 21 includes processor operation units 25A and 25B, a processor display unit 26, a coin slot opening / closing drive mechanism 32 of the coin deposit / withdrawal unit 40, an empty State detection sensor 53, dispenser main portions 56a to 56f, rocking drive mechanism 65, rocking position sensor 66, drive circuits 81A and 81B, set detection sensors 83A and 83B, lamps 84A and 84B, and pickup detection sensors 85A and 85B The banknote deposit / withdrawal opening / closing drive mechanism 44 of the banknote deposit / withdrawal unit 49, the banknote dispenser opening / closing drive mechanism 47, and the banknote detection sensor 48 are connected.

"Normal withdrawal process"
The left counter clerk A handles the flow when the money processing machine 10 normally carries out a dispensing process based on the withdrawal instruction from one of the two window machines 11A and 11B, the corresponding left window machine 11A An example of performing a withdrawal operation will be described. When the right window clerk B performs a withdrawal operation to the corresponding right window machine 11B, the left of the following explanation is left, right is left, A is B, B is A, respectively. You can replace it.

  For example, based on a withdrawal slip received from a customer who has visited the store through the counter 14A, the counter clerk A inputs the necessary items such as the withdrawal amount, subject, and account number to the counter operating unit 15 of the counter 11A. . Then, the teller machine control unit 18 of the teller machine 11A sends a withdrawal instruction signal for withdrawal including the number of denominations, which is the number of coins and bills of each denomination according to the withdrawal amount, via the interface. The data is output to the processor control unit 90 of the processor main body 21. For example, when the payment amount of ¥ 16,847 is input via the window operation unit 15 of the window 11A, the window control unit 18 of the window 11A selects one 10,000 yen ticket, one 5,000 yen ticket, Payment instruction for withdrawal including one sheet of one thousand yen ticket, one sheet of five hundred yen coin, three sheets of one hundred yen coin, four sheets of ten yen coin, one sheet of five yen coin, and two denominations of one yen coin The signal is output to the processor control unit 90 of the processor main body 21.

  Upon receipt of a withdrawal instruction signal for withdrawal from the left counter 11A, the processor control unit 90 of the processor main body 21 is on the condition that the right counter 11B is not occupied and the left counter 11A. That is, the occupation state of the window attendant A on the left side, in other words, a state in which various instruction signals from the window machine 11B on the right side are not accepted, and the following normal withdrawal process is performed. At this time, the processor control unit 90 recognizes the identification information indicating the left side as the left and right identification information of the counter machine that has output the withdrawal instruction.

  When the counter clerk A of the left counter machine 11A is occupied, the processor control unit 90 of the processor main body 21 detects that the chute 64 is detected from the detection result of the swing position sensor 66 when there is a coin withdrawal. It is determined whether or not it is in a state of swinging to the left. If the chute 64 is swinging to the left, it is left as it is. If the chute 64 is not swinging to the left, the swing drive mechanism 65 The chute 64 is swung to the left.

  In addition, when the counter machine 11A on the left side is occupied, the processor control unit 90 determines that the carton 22A is set to the left in the coin outlet 33 from the detection result of the set detection sensor 83A when there is a coin withdrawal. It is determined whether or not it is placed at the position. If the carton 22A is not disposed at the left set position in the coin dispensing port 33, the processor control unit 90 displays a display prompting the disposition of the carton 22A at the left set position of the coin dispensing port 33. The indicator 26 on the window 26 of the window 26A and the window 11A on the left side is displayed, and the lamp 84A on the left side, which has been off until then, blinks red, for example, to display the coin outlet 33 at the left set position. It announces that it is in the state where the arrangement of 22A is necessary, and waits.

  Here, when the carton 22A is disposed at the left set position, since the outlet side magnet 73A is in the adsorption release state for standby at that point, the weak adsorptive power that enables the carton 22A to be taken out manually. , And adsorbs the carton side magnetic body 72A which is a permanent magnet. In a state where the set detection sensor 83A detects that the carton 22A is disposed at the left set position, the processing machine control unit 90 sets the lamp 84A on the left side to a green lighting state, for example.

  When it is detected from the detection result of the set detection sensor 83A that the carton 22A is arranged at the left set position, the processor control unit 90 fixes the carton 22A to the left set position of the coin dispensing port 33 by the fixing unit 71. . That is, the drive circuit 81A is positively driven to excite the dispensing port magnet 73A to have a predetermined polarity, whereby the dispensing port magnet 73A is in an adsorption state in which the opposing carton magnetic member 72A is adsorbed. It becomes. In the adsorption state, the dispensing port magnet 73A adsorbs the carton magnetic member 72A with a strong adsorptive force that makes manual removal of the carton 22A impossible. As a result, the carton 22A is fixed to the left set position of the coin dispensing port 33. When the processing unit control unit 90 fixes the carton 22A to the left set position of the coin dispensing port 33 by the fixing unit 71, the left side lamp 84A is turned on in red, for example.

  The processing machine control unit 90 fixes the carton 22A at the left set position by the fixing unit 71, and then, according to the number of denominations according to the number of denominations of the dispensing amount of the dispensing instruction signal for dispensing described above, The coins corresponding to the indicated number of sheets are respectively counted from the storage body portions 52a to 52f while counting out by using the dispensing body portions 56a to 56f of the dispensing portion 55, and swinging to the left from the guide 62 of the dispensing destination switching portion 61. A coin dispensing operation for accommodating the carton 22A through the chute 64 in a moved state is performed. In parallel with this, each denomination is instructed from a stacker of a denomination (not shown) of the banknote deposit and withdrawal unit 49 according to the number of denominations of the denomination amount of the aforementioned withdrawal instruction signal for withdrawal. One sheet of banknotes is fed out one by one, and the conveyance operation is performed to the banknote dispensing outlet 45 in which the banknote dispensing outlet shutter 46 is in the closed state via the transport path including the dispensing discrimination unit. The banknote dispensing operation for stacking the banknotes transported one by one in the banknote dispensing port 45 of the final transport unit is performed.

  When all the coins corresponding to the number of denominations in the withdrawal amount of the withdrawal instruction signal for withdrawal are normally discharged to the carton 22A and the coin dispensing operation is finished, the processor control unit 90 71 releases the fixing of the carton 22A to the coin outlet 33. That is, the processing machine control unit 90 reversely drives the drive circuit 81A to excite the outlet port magnet 73A to have the opposite polarity to that before, and the permanent port magnet 73A faces the permanent magnet. It is set as the suction release state for withdrawal which repels the carton side magnetic body 72A which is a magnet. In other words, when the processing machine control unit 90 switches the outlet side magnet 73A from the adsorption state to the adsorption release state for dispensing, the carton facing the outlet side magnet 73A to the outlet side magnet 73A. Control is performed so as to repel the side magnetic body 72A.

  When the dispensing port side magnet 73A is switched from the attracted state to the withdrawing attracted state, the carton 22A is caused by the repulsive force between the dispensing port side magnet 73A and the carton side magnetic body 72A as shown in FIG. A predetermined amount is pushed toward the front of the machine. As a result, the set detection sensor 83A does not detect the carton 22A. At this time, the removal detection sensor 85A maintains the state in which the carton 22A is detected.

  As described above, when the dispenser side magnet 73A is switched from the adsorption state to the adsorption release state for dispensing, the processor control unit 90 sets the number of denominations according to the number of denominations of the payment amount of the dispensing instruction signal for dispensing. Accordingly, the weight of the coin stored in the carton 22A is calculated, and according to the weight, the repulsive force increases if the weight is heavy, and the magnetic force of the dispensing port side magnet 73A so that the repulsive force decreases if the weight is light. To control. That is, when the dispenser control unit 90 switches the outlet side magnet 73A from the adsorption state to the adsorption release state for outlet, the magnetic force of the outlet side magnet 73A is opposed to the outlet side magnet 73A. Control is performed according to the amount of coin dispensed by the coin dispensing unit 50 to the carton 22A having the carton-side magnetic body 72A. Thus, the carton 22A is pushed out from the coin dispensing port 33 to a substantially constant position regardless of the amount of coins dispensed.

  Further, when the fixing of the carton 22A to the coin dispensing port 33 by the fixing unit 71 is released as described above, the processor control unit 90 displays a display prompting the receipt of the coins with the processor display unit 26 and the left counter. 11A, the left lamp 84A, which has been lit red until then, blinks in green, for example, and the left carton 22A moves to the coin dispensing port 33 by the fixing unit 71. Announce that it is unlocked and can be removed. When the removal detection sensor 85A detects that the left carton 22A has been taken out of the coin outlet 33, the processing machine control unit 90 turns off the left lamp 84A.

  On the other hand, when all the bills corresponding to the denomination specification number of the payment amount of the withdrawal command signal for withdrawal described above are all accumulated normally in the bill withdrawal port 45 and the bill dispensing operation is finished, processing is performed. The machine control unit 90 causes the processing machine display unit 26 and the left side window machine to cause the bill dispensing port shutter 46 of the bill dispensing port 45 to be opened by the bill dispensing port opening / closing drive mechanism 47 and to prompt the receipt of bills. It is displayed on the counter display unit 16 of 11A. Thereby, it becomes possible to receive the banknote of the banknote dispensing port 45, and the banknote of the banknote dispensing port 45 is taken out. When the banknote detection sensor 48 detects that the banknotes from the banknote outlet 45 have been taken out, the processor control unit 90 moves the banknote outlet outlet shutter 46 of the banknote outlet 45 to the banknote outlet opening / closing drive mechanism. 47 to close.

  When the removal detection sensor 85A detects that the carton 22A has been taken out of the coin dispensing port 33, and the banknote detection sensor 48 detects that the bill of the bill dispensing port 45 has been taken out, processing machine control The unit 90 cancels the occupation state of the left window 11A, that is, the left window A.

  Here, when the left window machine 11A is occupied as described above, the processor control unit 90 of the processor body 21 cancels the left window machine 11A occupied state when coins are withdrawn. Until then, it is monitored from the detection result of the set detection sensor 83B whether the carton 22B is disposed at the right set position in the coin dispensing port 33 or not. When the Carton 22B is placed in the right set position, the withdrawal port magnet 73B is in the suction release state for standby at that point, so the Carton side is a weak adsorption force that allows the Carton 22B to be taken out manually. The magnetic body 72B is adsorbed.

  When it is detected that the carton 22B is arranged at the right set position of the coin dispensing port 33, the processor control unit 90 turns on the right lamp 84B which has been turned off until then, and the carton 22B is turned into a coin. In addition to notifying that it is disposed at the right set position of the outlet 33, the fixing portion 71 fixes the carton 22B at the right set position of the coin outlet 33. That is, the drive circuit 81B is positively driven to excite the dispensing port magnet 73B to have a predetermined polarity, whereby the dispensing port magnet 73B is in an adsorption state in which the opposing carton magnetic member 72B is adsorbed. It becomes. In the adsorption state, the outlet-side magnet 73B adsorbs the carton-side magnetic body 72B with a strong adsorptive force which makes manual removal of the carton 22B impossible. As a result, the carton 22B is fixed to the right set position of the coin dispensing port 33. Then, the processor control unit 90 lights the lamp 84B on the right side in red to notify that the carton 22B is fixed at the right set position of the coin outlet 33.

  As described above, when all the coins according to the denomination specification number of the payment amount of the withdrawal instruction signal for withdrawal are properly discharged to the Carton 22A and the coin dispensing operation is finished, the processing machine control unit 90 The fixing portion 71 releases the fixing of the carton 22A to the coin outlet 33. At this time, if the fixing portion 71 fixes the carton 22B to the right set position of the coin outlet 33, this fixing is performed. maintain. That is, the drive circuit 81A is reversely driven to excite the dispensing port side magnet 73A so as to have a polarity opposite to that of the previous one, while the drive circuit 81B is continuously driven in the positive direction. The attracting state in which the side magnet 73B strongly attracts the opposing carton side magnetic body 72B is maintained.

  That is, the processor control unit 90 faces the carton-side magnetic body 72A of the carton 22A in which the coin dispensing unit 50 dispenses coins among the plurality of cartons 22A and 22B arranged in one coin dispensing port 33. Only the dispensing port side magnet 73A to be switched is switched from the adsorption state to the adsorption release state for dispensing. Thereby, when the carton 22A is pushed out by the repulsive force between the dispensing port side magnet 73A and the carton side magnetic body 72A, the carton 22B may move, or when the carton 22A is taken out from the coin dispensing port 33, the carton 22B. Can be prevented from moving. Accordingly, unnecessary work such as returning the right side carton 22B to the right set position is eliminated, and the workability of taking out the left side carton 22A is improved. At this time, the left lamp 84A blinks in green and the right lamp 84B lights in red, notifying that only the left one of the kartons 22A and 22B can be taken out. The left carton 22A is taken out satisfactorily.

  Furthermore, after the coin dispensing operation and the banknote dispensing operation are completed as described above, the removal detection sensor 85A detects that the carton 22A has been taken out from the coin dispensing port 33, and the banknote dispensing port 45 When the bill detection sensor 48 detects that a bill has been taken out, the processor control unit 90 cancels the occupied state of the left window machine 11A, that is, the left window clerk A, and the fixing unit 71 of the carton 22B. Release the fixing of the coin dispensing port 33 to the right set position. That is, the drive of the drive circuit 81B is stopped, and the excitation of the dispensing port side magnet 73B is released. Then, the dispensing port side magnet 73B is in a standby state for releasing the standby for weakly adsorbing to the cartridge side magnetic body 72B which is a permanent magnet. At this time, although the carton 22B is released from being fixed to the coin dispensing port 33, the carton 22B is disposed at the right set position and the set detection sensor 83B detects the carton 22B. The green lighting state of the lamp 84B is maintained.

Collective collection process
An instruction for collective collection processing by an operation input to one of the two window machines 11A and 11B or to one of the processing machine operating units 25A and 25B of the money handling machine 10 When the processor control unit 90 receives a signal, the processor control unit 90 performs a batch collection process of dispensing all the coins of the coin storage unit 51 of the money handling machine 10 to the outside of the machine.

  When the collective collection process is started, the processor control unit 90 first determines whether or not the carton 22A is located at the left set position in the coin dispensing port 33 from the detection result of the set detection sensor 83A and sets the set. It is determined from the detection result of the detection sensor 83B whether or not the carton 22B is arranged at the right set position in the coin dispensing port 33. If the carton 22A is not arranged at the left set position, the display for prompting the layout of the carton 22A to the left set position of the coin outlet 33 is displayed at the respective windows of the processing machine display unit 26 and the windows 11A and 11B. It is displayed on the machine display section 16, and further, the lamp 84A on the left side which has been in the unlit state is blinked in red so that the arrangement of the carton 22A to the left set position of the coin outlet 33 is necessary. Announce and wait. In addition, if the carton 22B is not arranged at the right set position, the processing machine display unit 26 and the window machine 11A, 11B display to prompt the placement of the carton 22B to the right set position of the coin outlet 33. The right side lamp 84B, which has been turned off until then, blinks in red to make it necessary to arrange the carton 22B to the right set position of the coin outlet 33. Announce and wait.

  Here too, when the carton 22A is arranged at the left set position, the outlet port side magnet 73A and the carton side magnetic body 72A are attracted with a weak attracting force, and when the carton 22B is arranged at the right set position, it is weak. The withdrawal opening side magnet 73B and the carton side magnetic body 72B are attracted to each other by the attractive force. When the set detection sensor 83A detects that the carton 22A is located at the left set position, the processor control unit 90 lights the left lamp 84A in green, and the set detection sensor 83B sets the carton 22B to the right set. In a state in which it is detected that it is disposed at the position, the lamp 84B on the right side is lit in green.

  When the set detection sensors 83A and 83B detect that the carton 22A is disposed at the left set position and the carton 22B is disposed at the right set position, the processor control unit 90 causes the fixing unit 71 to remove the carton 22A from the coin. At the left set position of the metal mouth 33, the carton 22B is fixed at the right set position. That is, by driving both of the drive circuits 81A and 81B forward, the karton side magnetic body 72A to which the dispensing port side magnet 73A faces is attracted and the karton side magnetic body 72B to which the dispensing port side magnet 73B faces is adsorbed. It will be in the adsorption state. Thus, both the cartons 22A and 22B are fixed to the coin dispensing port 33. The processing machine control unit 90, when fixing the cartons 22A and 22B to the coin outlet 33 by the fixing unit 71, lights the lamp 84A on the left side in red to notify that the carton 22A is fixed at the left set position. At the same time, the right lamp 84B is lit in red to notify that the carton 22B is fixed at the right set position. Here, when both the cartons 22A and 22B are arranged at the set position of the coin dispensing port 33, they are fixed to the coin dispensing port 33, but the arrangement at the set position is detected. It may be fixed to the coin outlet 33 in order from the thing.

  The processing machine control unit 90 fixes both of the cartons 22A and 22B to the coin outlet 33 by the fixing unit 71, and then, the coins are taken out from the storage main body portions 52a to 52f of the coin storage unit 51, One of the cartons 22A and 22B to which the chute 64 is directed at the time through the chute 64 from the guide 62 of the payout destination switching unit 61 while counting out in an appropriate order by the gold main body portions 56a to 56f. The coin withdrawal operation is performed to accommodate the as a storage location. At this time, if it is determined that the maximum amount of coins that can be accommodated without overflowing into one of the accommodation destinations of the cartons 22A and 22B based on the denominations and the number of dispensed, the processor control unit 90 counts the withdrawals. The payout of coins by the dispensing main portions 56a to 56f of the portion 55 is temporarily stopped, and the chute 64 is switched to the reverse side by the swing drive mechanism 65.

  Then, the coins are fed again from the storage main body portions 52a to 52f of the coin storage portion 51 while being counted in an appropriate order by the dispensing main body portions 56a to 56f of the counting dispensing portion 55, and the guide 62 of the dispensing destination switching portion 61 Through the chute 64, a coin dispensing operation is performed in which the other of the cartons 22A and 22B to which the chute 64 is directed at that time is accommodated as an accommodation destination. At this time, if it is determined that the maximum amount of coins that can be accommodated without overflowing to the other of the accommodation destinations of the cartons 22A and 22B based on the denominations and the number of dispensed, the processor control unit 90 counts and withdraws. The feeding of coins by the dispensing main body portions 56a to 56f of the portion 55 is temporarily stopped, and the fixing of the cartons 22A and 22B to the coin dispensing port 33 is released by the fixing portion 71. In other words, the processor control unit 90 reversely drives both the drive circuits 81A and 81B to excite the withdrawal port side magnets 73A and 73B so as to have a polarity opposite to that of the former, and thereby the withdrawal port. The side magnets 73 </ b> A and 73 </ b> B are in a suction release state for dispensing that repels the carton side magnetic bodies 72 </ b> A and 72 </ b> B that are permanent magnets.

  When the suction state is switched to the suction release state for withdrawal, the carton 22A is pushed out by a predetermined amount toward the front of the machine body due to the repulsive force between the withdrawal port side magnet 73A and the carton side magnetic body 72A. A predetermined amount is pushed toward the front of the machine body by the repulsive force between the dispensing port side magnet 73B and the carton side magnetic body 72B. As a result, while the set detection sensors 83A and 83B do not detect the cartons 22A and 22B, the state in which the removal detection sensor 85A detects the cartons 22A and the removal detection sensor 85B detects the cartons 22B is maintained. Also at this time, the processor control unit 90 calculates the weight of the coins stored in the cartons 22A and 22B, and according to this weight, the repulsive force increases if the weight is heavy, and the repulsive force decreases if the weight is light. The magnetic force of the dispensing port side magnets 73A and 73B is controlled so as to be as follows.

  When the fixing unit 71 releases the fixing of the cartons 22A and 22B to the coin dispensing port 33, the processing machine control unit 90 displays the processing machine display unit 26 of the processing machine main body 21 and the window machine of the window machines 11A and 11B. The display for prompting the coins to be taken out is displayed on the part 16 and the lamps 84A and 84B that have been in the red lighting state until then are blinked in green, so that the cartons 22A and 22B are moved to the coin dispensing port 33 by the fixing part 71. Announce that it is unlocked and can be removed.

  When the removal detection sensor 85A detects that the carton 22A has been removed from the coin dispensing port 33, the processor control unit 90 turns off the lamp 84A, and the removal detection sensor 85B causes the carton 22B to move to the coin dispensing port 33. When it is detected that the lamp is removed from the lamp, the lamp 84B is turned off. When the removal detection sensors 85A and 84B detect that both the cartons 22A and 22B have been removed from the coin dispensing port 33, the processor control unit 90 causes the coins to be stored in the storage body portions 52a to 52f of the coin storage unit 51. Whether or not it remains is detected by each of the empty state detection sensors 53, and if coins remain in any of the storage main body portions 52a to 52f, the above is repeated. The processing machine control unit 90 ends the batch collection process when it is detected that no coin remains in any of the main storage units 52a to 52f of the coin storage unit 51 during the batch collection process.

  In other words, in the collective collection process described above, when a plurality of cartons 22A and 22B are arranged side by side in the coin dispensing port 33, these cartons 22A and 22B are fixed to the coin dispensing port 33, and these cartons 22A and 22B are fixed. Then, the coins are withdrawn to all of the coins, and then the fixation of the cartons 22A and 22B to the coin dispensing port 33 is released. When these cartons 22A and 22B are taken out and rearranged along with the coin dispensing port 33, the cartons 22A and 22B are fixed to the coin dispensing port 33, and all of these cartons 22A and 22B are fixed. The coins are then dispensed, and then the fixing of the cartons 22A and 22B to the coin outlet 33 is released. Such a process is appropriately repeated until no coins are left in the coin storage unit 51. In addition, at the time of rearrangement after the cartons 22A and 22B are taken out, the cartons 22A and 22B prepared separately from the taken out may be disposed at the coin dispensing port 33.

  According to the money handling machine 10 of the present embodiment described above, the plurality of cartons 22A and 22B can be arranged in parallel in one coin outlet 33 provided on the machine body front face 21a which is one surface of the processing machine main body 21 Since the coin dispensing unit 50 can selectively dispense coins to one of the plurality of cartons 22A and 22B arranged in line with one coin dispensing port 33 in this way, A plurality of operators can simultaneously arrange the respective cartons 22A and 22B in the coin outlet 33. Thus, the operator does not have to wait for the other operator's carton to be taken out from the coin dispensing port 33 during the normal withdrawal process, which is one withdrawal process. The waiting time can be shortened.

  In addition, since the coin dispensing unit 50 can dispense coins to all of the plurality of cartons 22A and 22B arranged in a row at one coin dispensing port 33, the coins in the machine are dispensed collectively. Coins can be withdrawn to the plurality of cartons 22A and 22B during the collective collection process, which is one withdrawal process. As a result, the total time of withdrawal suspension for taking out the filled cartons 22A and 22B and relocating the emptied cartons 22A and 22B becomes short, and the processing time for the batch recovery processing can be shortened. .

  Also, coins are withdrawn into one of the cartons 22A and 22B during normal withdrawal processing at the time of customer service, and coins are withdrawn into a plurality of cartons 22A and 22B at the time of collective collection processing in which coins in the machine are withdrawn collectively. By doing so, it is not necessary to use a large carton that is not easy to use during the normal withdrawal process, and it is not necessary to prepare two types of large and small cartons. Therefore, usability reduction and cost increase of the cartons 22A and 22B can be suppressed.

  Further, since the plurality of cartons 22A and 22B are arranged in parallel to one coin outlet 33 provided on the front surface 12a of the machine body 21, which is one surface of the processing machine 21, the distance between the plurality of cartons 22A and 22B is shortened. It is possible to reduce the distance required to distribute the coins to the respective cartons 22A and 22B. Therefore, the cost of the mechanism for distribution can be reduced.

  In addition, the fixing portion 71 fixes the cartons 22A and 22B to the coin outlet 33 in order to fix and release the plurality of cartons 22A and 22B arranged in one coin outlet 33 to the coin outlet 33. If so, it can be regulated that the cartons 22A and 22B are taken out erroneously during withdrawal and the like.

  In addition, the fixing portion 71 is a carton side magnetic body 72A, 72B provided in each of the plurality of cartons 22A, 22B, and a carton side magnetic body of the plurality of cartons 22A, 22B arranged in one coin dispensing port 33. 72A, 72B each having a dispensing port side magnet 73A, 73B provided in the coin dispensing port 33 so as to face each other, and the dispensing port side magnet 73A, 73B is opposed to the Carton side magnetic body 72A , 72B can be switched individually between an adsorption state in which they are adsorbed with a strong adsorption force and an adsorption release state in which the adsorption state is released with an adsorption force weaker than this adsorption state, so one coin outlet 33 The plurality of cartons 22A and 22B arranged in the can be individually fixed and released. Accordingly, it is possible to allow one of the cartons 22A and 22B to be taken out while allowing the other to be taken out. As a result, when the operator takes out one removable carton among the plurality of cartons 22A and 22B arranged in one coin outlet 33, only the carton can be taken out well, and the operation can be performed. Good sex. In addition, since the carton-side magnetic bodies 72A and 72B and the dispensing port-side magnets 73A and 73B are used, the configuration is simplified and an increase in cost can be suppressed.

  In addition, since the carton side magnetic bodies 72A and 72B are provided on the tip end face of the insertion end side of the carton 22A and 22B into the coin outlet 33, the outlet side magnets 73A and 73B can be used as the coin outlet 33 It can arrange | position in the back | inner side of. Therefore, it is possible to suppress an increase in size of the airframe in the vertical and horizontal directions.

  In addition, the processing machine control unit 90 is provided on the carton side magnetic body provided on one side of the coin dispensing unit 50 out of the plurality of cartons 22A and 22B disposed in one coin dispensing port 33 dispensing coins. Since only the opposite withdrawal port side magnet is switched from the attracted state to the attracted release state, only the carton from which the coins are dispensed out of the cartons 22A and 22B can be taken out, and the carton in which no coins are dispensed is erroneously It is possible to prevent the coins from being taken out and moving with the withdrawn carton.

  Further, at the time of dispensing to the cartons 22A and 22B, the processing machine control unit 90 positively drives the dispensing port side magnets 73A and 73B so as to be attracted to the opposing carton side magnetic bodies 72A and 72B and attracts them. On the other hand, when switching the dispensing port side magnets 73A and 73B from the adsorption state to the adsorption releasing state, the dispensing port side magnets 73A and 73B are reversely driven to repel the opposing carton magnetic members 72A and 72B. Thus, it is possible to move the cartons 22A and 22B which are in the adsorption release state from the adsorption state in order to control. Therefore, the operator can be made to recognize the cartons 22A and 22B from which the coins are dispensed. At this time, since the direction of the repulsive force is made coincident with the direction of taking out the cartons 22A and 22B, the cartons 22A and 22B in the suction released state can be moved in the direction of taking out. Thereby, the operator can easily take out the cartons 22A and 22B.

  In addition, when the processing machine control unit 90 switches the outlet side magnets 73A and 73B from the adsorption state to the adsorption release state, the magnetic force of the outlet side magnets 73A and 73B is changed to the outlet side magnets 73A and 73B. In order to control according to the coin dispensing amount of the coin dispensing unit 50 to the Carton 22A, 22B having the opposing Carton side magnetic bodies 72A, 72B, for example, the magnetic force is strengthened when the dispensing amount is large. If the magnetic force is weakened when the amount is small, variations in the movement amounts of the cartons 22A and 22B can be suppressed.

  Further, the lamps 84A and 84B provided in the processing machine main body 21 operate the removable cartons 22A and 22B in order to notify the cartons 22A and 22B of which the fixing portions 71 release the fixing to the coin outlet 33. Can be recognized.

  Moreover, since the coating layer 37 provided in the mounting part 35 of the coin dispensing port 33 reduces friction with the cartons 22A and 22B, it is easy for the operator to place and remove the cartons 22A and 22B. In addition, when the withdrawal port side magnets 73A and 73B in the attracting release state are repelled from the carton side magnetic bodies 72A and 72B of the cartons 22A and 22B, the cartons 22A and 22B can be moved with a small repulsive force.

  The money handling machine 10 of the embodiment described above can be changed as follows.

  Instead of the withdrawal destination switching unit 61, for example, a cylindrical guide 101 provided with a distribution plate 103 that swings around a support shaft 102 as shown in FIG. 8A can be used. . This is because the coin is dropped to the left carton by swinging the distribution plate 103 to the right around the support shaft 102, and the swing plate 103 is moved to the left around the support shaft 102. A coin is dropped on a carton. Further, for example, as shown in FIG. 8B, a part of the cylindrical guide 105 may be used as a pair of left and right distribution plates 107 that swing about a support shaft 106. This is because the coin is dropped to the left carton by swinging the right distribution plate 107 to the left centering on the support shaft 106 and the left distribution plate 107 is rocked to the right around the support shaft 106 In this way, a coin is dropped on the right carton.

  As shown in FIG. 9A, the side facing the wall 36A when setting the coin outlet 22 of the carton 22A shown in FIG. 6 and the side facing the wall 36B when setting the coin outlet 33 with the cartridge 22B are shown in FIG. As shown, the carton-side magnetic bodies 72A and 72B may be provided. Further, as shown in FIG. 9B, the carton-side magnetic bodies 72A and 72B may be provided on the lower surfaces of the cartons 22A and 22B. Further, the carton-side magnetic body 72A may be provided on any two of the front end surface, the wall portion 36A-side surface, and the lower surface of the carton 22A, as shown in FIG. 9C. A carton-side magnetic body 72A may be provided.

As shown in (d), it is also possible to form an elongated hole in a plan view long in the insertion direction into the coin dispensing port 33. Further, if the carton side magnetic bodies 72A and 72B are provided on the lower surface, it is a matter of course that the cartons 22A and 22B have a rectangular shape in plan view as shown in FIG. It can be a circular shape in a view, an elliptical shape in a plan view, or a long hole shape in a plan view, and the degree of freedom of the shape of the cartons 22A and 22B is greatly increased.

  The carton-side magnetic bodies 72A and 72B may be magnetic bodies such as non-magnetized iron pieces as long as they can be attracted to and released from the outlet-side magnets 73A and 73B. In this case, when the dispenser opening magnet 73A made of an electromagnet is excited, it is in an adsorption state for adsorbing the opposing karton magnetic body 72A, and when the excitation is released, the opposing karton magnetic body 72A is repelled. It becomes a suction release state that cannot be sucked. When the dispensing port magnet 73B is excited, it is in an adsorption state for adsorbing the opposing carton magnetic member 72B, and when the excitation is released, the opposing carton magnetic member 72B is not repelled and can not be adsorbed. It becomes a release state.

  When the carton side magnetic bodies 72A and 72B are non-magnetized magnetic bodies, the metal dispensing port side magnets 73A and 73B may be capable of adsorbing and desorbing the carton side magnetic bodies 72A and 72B. Instead, it may be a permanent magnet.
