The vertical belt conveyor 57 rotates forward and backward to move the placement piece 56 up and down, thereby raising and lowering the bar B placed on the placement piece 56.

The coin-roll processing device section 10 has a rear conveyance section 42 between the packaging section 36 and the coin-roll storage section 30. This rear conveyance section 42 receives the coin rolls B one by one from the coin roll conveyance section 55 and conveys them toward the rear side. This rear conveyance section 42 is inclined so that the front end side is lower than the rear end side.

The metal bar processing device section 10 has an ascending conveyance sorting section 48 behind the rear conveyance section 42 . The ascending conveyance sorting section 48 has an elevator 49 that ascends and descends. The elevator 49 accepts the metal bar B conveyed to the rear side by the rear conveyance section 42 while maintaining the attitude along the left-right direction, and conveys it upward. On the front side of the ascending conveyance sorting section 48, the above-mentioned coin roll cassettes 50 arranged in multiple stages are provided. The elevator 49 pushes out the transported coin roll B toward a selected one of the multiple stages of coin roll cassettes 50.

The coin roll processing device section 10 opens and closes an opening 58d formed on the front side of the coin roll conveyance section 55 at the upper part of the conveyance space forming section 58, and when opened, moves the coin roll B of the conveyance space forming section 58 through the opening 58d. and a coin roll dispensing part 63 on which the coin roll B received from the conveyance space forming part 58 through the opening 58d is placed. The coin roll dispensing section 63 allows the coin roll B to be taken out of the machine by opening the shutter.

The coin-roll processing device section 10 having the above configuration is transported from any one of the denomination-specific storage and withdrawal sections 27 (see FIG. 2) by the coin-roll creation and transportation section 29 (see FIG. 2) at an appropriate timing. Once coins of the same denomination are received in a storage section (not shown), the control section 31 feeds out the coins one by one from the storage section and sends them to the packaging section 36, where the packaging section 36 accumulates a predetermined number of coins and wraps them in wrapping paper. Both ends of the rolled wrapping paper are crimped to form a metal bar B. When the coin roll B is created, the control unit 31 guides the coin roll B to the coin roll conveyance unit 55, where it is transported and sorted.

The control unit 31 transports the coin roll B received from the packaging unit 36 to the coin roll transport unit 55, for example, by the coin roll transport unit 55 and releases it from the release port 59. The rear conveyance section 42 and the ascending conveyance sorting section 48 store coins in coin roll cassettes 50 of corresponding denominations. The coin roll conveyance section 55, the rear conveyance section 42, and the ascending conveyance sorting section 48 constitute a coin roll storage conveyance section 121 (wrapped coin storage means) that stores the coin rolls B from the packaging section 36 into the coin roll storage section 30. are doing.

Further, when receiving a withdrawal command for a coin roll B, for example, the control unit 31 causes the coin roll extraction unit 53 to take out the corresponding coin roll B from the coin roll cassette 50, transports the coin roll conveyance unit 55, The coin withdrawal unit 63 is made to withdraw money. The coin roll extraction unit 53, the coin roll conveyance unit 55, and the coin roll dispensing unit 63 constitute a coin roll release conveyance unit 122 (wrapped coin release means) that discharges the coin roll B stored in the coin roll storage unit 30. ing.

Further, the control unit 31 determines, for example, the number of coin rolls B received in each coin roll cassette 50 of the coin roll storage unit 30 and the number of coin rolls B fed out from each coin roll cassette 50, 50 is managed.

As shown in FIG. 4, on the upper side of each coin roll cassette 50, the coin roll B received at the rear end of the coin roll cassette 50 from the ascending conveyance distribution section 48 (see FIG. 3) is arranged in a horizontal direction. A coin roll holding mechanism 80 is provided that holds the coin roll and moves it forward within the coin roll cassette 50. These coin roll holding mechanisms 80 are connected to a drive mechanism 81 that moves them together along the length direction of the coin roll cassette 50.

The drive mechanism 81 has a slide shaft 85 that extends parallel to the lowermost bar cassette 50 below the bar cassette 50, a slide block 86 that is slidably supported on the slide shaft 85, a holding plate 87 that extends upward from the slide block 86, a pair of pulleys 88 that are positioned below both ends of the slide shaft 85, a drive belt 89 that is placed parallel to the slide shaft 85 by being hung on the pulleys 88, and a motor 90 that is connected to one of the pulleys 88, and a part of the drive belt 89 is fixed to the slide block 86. As a result, the drive mechanism 81 reciprocates the slide block 86 and the holding plate 87 in the length direction of the bar cassette 50 by the forward and reverse rotation of the motor 90.

The holding plate 87 extends vertically on the left and right sides of the metal roll cassettes 50 arranged vertically in multiple stages. A holding mechanism 80 is attached. The coin roll holding mechanism 80 includes a carrier body 95 fixed to the holding plate 87 so as to extend toward the coin roll cassette 50 side, and a receiver connected to the carrier body 95 so as to extend rearward from the carrier body 95. It has a block 96 and a presser block 97 connected to the receiving block 96 so as to extend further rearward than the receiving block 96. Since the carrier bodies 95 of all the coin roll holding mechanisms 80 are fixed to the holding plate 87, the carrier 91 composed of the holding plate 87 and the plurality of carrier bodies 95 extends along the length direction of the coin roll cassette 50. It is movable.

When the coin roll holding mechanism 80 is at a predetermined receiving position on the rear end side of the coin roll cassette 50, the receiving block 96 is swung downwardly relative to the carrier body 95 to be in a lowered state on one side, and the presser block 97 is in a lowered state. The other side is in a raised state where it is swung upward with respect to the receiving block 96. In this state, the metal bar B is discharged from the ascending conveyance distribution unit 48 (see FIG. 3) to the rear end portion of the metal bar cassette 50 in a posture along the width direction, that is, the left and right direction of the metal bar cassette 50. Then, the coin roll B moves forward due to the inclination of the bottom surface of the coin roll cassette 50, passes under the presser block 97, comes into contact with the receiving block 96, and stops in a posture along the width direction of the coin roll cassette 50. Note that the coin roll holding mechanism 80 stops at this receiving position when in the standby state. Further, a receiving position sensor (not shown) is provided that detects from the position of the holding plate 87 that the coin roll holding mechanism 80 is located at the receiving position.

When the coin bar holding mechanism 80 moves toward the front end of the coin bar cassette 50 after receiving the coin bar B, the pressing block 97 descends and comes into contact with the coin bar B. As a result, the coin bar holding mechanism 80 is in a state where both the receiving block 96 and the pressing block 97 are lowered, and the coin bar B on the bottom surface of the coin bar cassette 50 is held by embracing it from above, front and back. At this time, the coin bar B is in a three-point support state when viewed in the axial direction, with the front side abutting the receiving block 96, the rear side abutting the pressing block 97, and the bottom side abutting the bottom surface of the coin bar cassette 50. As the coin bar holding mechanism 80 moves toward the front end of the coin bar cassette 50, the coin bar B moves toward the front end while remaining in this three-point support state. In other words, the coin bar holding mechanism 80 moves the coin bar B in a posture along the width direction of the coin bar cassette 50 without wobbling, slanting, or lagging behind the coin bar holding mechanism 80.

When the coin bar holding mechanism 80 moves toward the front end of the coin bar cassette 50 while holding the coin bar B with the receiving block 96 in the lowered state and the pressing block 97 in the lowered state as described above, the coin bar B it is holding comes into contact with the last coin bar B already stored in the coin bar cassette 50, and then the receiving block 96 comes into contact with the last coin bar B already stored in the coin bar cassette 50, and uses the force of this movement to climb up onto this coin bar B. This causes the receiving block 96 to swing upward, and the force of the pressing spring (not shown) causes it to rise. As a result, both the receiving block 96 and the pressing block 97 move away from the coin bar B, and the receiving and pressing of the coin bar B are released. At this time, before coming into contact with the last B bar already stored in the coin bar cassette 50, the coin bar B held by the receiving block 96 and the pressing block 97 comes into contact with this last B bar and stops, but the rear pressing block 97 is swung upward by the B bar it was holding and moves forward of this B bar. The coin bar B storage space (full capacity) is set so that the receiving block 96 and the pressing block 97 do not come into contact with the last B bar B already stored in the coin bar cassette 50 when the coin bar holding mechanism 80 is in the receiving position. In other words, the rear end of the storage space for storing B bars in the coin bar cassette 50 is set forward of the receiving position.

Magnetic sensors 140 and 141 are attached to the lower and upper sides of the carrier body 95, except for the carrier body 95 above the uppermost coin roll cassette 50. Only the lower magnetic sensor 140 is provided on the upper carrier body 95 of the uppermost coin roll cassette 50. The lower magnetic sensor 140 supported by the carrier body 95 scans the coin roll B stored in the coin roll cassette 50 immediately below and detects its magnetic data. The upper magnetic sensor supported by the same carrier body 95 scans the coin roll B stored in the coin roll cassette 50 immediately above it, and transmits the magnetic data to a sensor (not shown) formed on the bottom plate of the coin roll cassette 50. Detection is done through the detection groove.

The magnetic sensor 140 on the lower side of the carrier body 95 provided immediately above the coin bar cassette 50 and the magnetic sensor 141 on the upper side of the carrier body 95 provided immediately below the same coin bar cassette 50 are positioned in front, rear, left and right in the moving direction of the carrier body 95, and face each other, constituting a magnetic data detection unit 139 (recounting means) that detects the magnetic data of the coin bar B stored in the coin bar cassette 50. In other words, the magnetic data detection unit 139 is composed of a pair of magnetic sensors 140, 141 arranged to sandwich the coin bar B stored in the coin bar cassette 50 in the diameter direction. As described above, only the lower magnetic sensor 140 is attached to the upper carrier body 95 of the topmost coin bar cassette 50, and faces the upper magnetic sensor 141 of the upper carrier body 95 of the second-highest coin bar cassette 50, constituting the magnetic data detection unit 139 that detects the coin bar B stored in the topmost coin bar cassette 50. Additionally, below the lowest coin bar cassette 50, a bottom carrier body 95A that constitutes the carrier 91 and only supports the magnetic sensor 141 extends from the holding plate 87, and the magnetic sensor 141 is attached to this bottom carrier body 95A facing upward. This magnetic sensor 141 faces the magnetic sensor 140 on the bottom of the carrier body 95 above the bottom coin bar cassette 50, and constitutes a magnetic data detection unit 139 that detects the coin bars B stored in the bottom coin bar cassette 50.

When the above-mentioned coin roll holding mechanism 80 is moved in the front-rear direction, the coin roll B is relatively passed between the pair of magnetic sensors 140 and 141 of the magnetic data detection unit 139, and the data is detected by the magnetic sensors 140 and 141. Magnetic data of the coin roll B stored in the coin roll cassette 50 is detected. Based on the magnetic data detected by all the magnetic data detection units 139, the control unit 31 was unable to identify whether or not there is a normal coin roll in all the coin roll cassettes 50, and which denomination of the coin roll it is. Check whether there are any different denominations of coins that are in an abnormal state, whether there are any abnormalities in the posture of loaded coins, and the amount of normal coins in stock. That is, by moving from the rear end position to the front end position, the magnetic data detection unit 139 causes the number of coin rolls B stored in all coin roll cassettes 50 of the coin roll storage unit 30 to be recalculated. conduct.

A user can grasp this handle 111 and push and pull it back and forth to pull the coin roll storage section 30 out of the case 101 or store it in the case 101. The position and orientation of the handle 111 may be on the front end side of the housing 105, and may be, for example, vertically positioned at the upper left position, vertically positioned at the lower right position, vertically positioned at the upper right position, horizontally positioned at the bottom position, or horizontally positioned at the top position.

On the left side of the housing 105, the coin roll cassettes 50 arranged vertically in multiple stages are exposed as partially shown in FIG. 7, and the coin roll storage section 30 is pulled out to the front end position. In this state, all the coin rolls B stored in the coin roll cassette 50 can be counted visually. In the coin roll storage section 30, each of all the coin roll cassettes 50 has a denomination display section 125 that displays the denomination of the coin roll B stored therein, and a scale that shows the quantity of the coin roll B stored. 126 is attached. The scale 126 indicates the number of coin rolls B at corresponding positions in the length direction of the coin roll cassette 50. For example, as shown in the coin roll cassette 50 for roll B of 1 yen coins in the top row of FIG. If there is no coin roll B, it indicates that the number of coin rolls B stored is 5. The scale 126 is displayed in ascending order from front to back from "1" to the maximum number that can be stored in the coin roll cassette 50.

The box 101 shown in FIG. 6 includes a front door opening/closing detection sensor (not shown) that detects whether the front door 104 is in a closed or open state, and a metal bar storage section 30 that is pushed to the rear end position. A storage part opening/closing detection sensor (not shown, storage part open detection means) is provided to detect whether the storage part is in the closed state by being pulled out or pulled out toward the front and is in the open state. The front door opening/closing detection sensor outputs an ON signal to the control unit 31 when the front door 104 is in the closed state, and outputs an OFF signal to the control unit 31 when the front door 104 is in the open state. The storage opening/closing detection sensor outputs an ON signal to the control unit 31 when the coin roll storage unit 30 is in a closed state, and outputs an OFF signal to the control unit 31 when the coin roll storage unit 30 is in an open state.

<"Coin bar inspection (visual inspection)"processing>
Next, a case will be described in which a "coin roll inspection (visual)" process is selected from the operation display unit 33 for the coin roll B in the coin roll cassette 50 of the coin roll storage unit 30 of the coin roll processing unit 10 in the currency processing machine 1 configured as described above. More specifically, the "coin roll inspection (visual)" process is performed as a set of a "coin roll recovery (visual)" process, which is selected after the "coin roll inspection (visual)" process is selected from the list of operation menus displayed on the operation display unit 33, and a "coin roll loading (visual)" process, which is selected after that. Therefore, the process is not completed by the "coin roll recovery (visual)" process alone, and it is necessary to perform the "coin roll loading (visual)" process after performing the "coin roll recovery (visual)" process, and the "coin roll inspection (visual)" process is completed by performing the "coin roll recovery (visual)" process and the "coin roll loading (visual)" process as a set.

＜“Coin bar recovery (visual inspection)” processing＞
The "coin roll recovery (visual inspection)" process will be described below.
When the currency handling machine 1 is in standby mode and the operator selects "Coin Roll Inspection (Visual)" from the list of operation menus on the operation display unit 33, the control unit 31 will display the operation menu for the current "Coin Roll Collection (Visual)" to be performed on the operation display unit 33 and make it possible to execute the operation, provided that the previous process did not end only with the "Coin Roll Collection (Visual)" process, but also completed up to the "Coin Roll Loading (Visual)" process.

Then, when the operator selects "Collection of coins (visual)" displayed on the operation display section 33 and presses the "Execute" button displayed on the operation display section 33, the control section 31 selects "Collection of coins (visual)" displayed on the operation display section 33. (Visual inspection)" processing begins. That is, first, the animation display shown in FIGS. 8 to 12 is displayed on the operation display section 33 to guide the operator in the operation. The control unit 31 first drives a front door locking mechanism (not shown) to unlock the front door 104 in the closed state. At the same time, the control unit 31 causes the operation display unit 33 to display the first animation display shown in FIG. In this first animation display, as shown by the shading in FIG. 8, the operator needs to access the front door 104 by changing the color of the front door 104 to the front door of the money handling machine The guidance is displayed in a different color from the parts other than 104. For example, parts of the money handling machine 1 other than the front door 104 are displayed in white, and the front door 104 is displayed in blue.

Next, the control unit 31 causes the operation display unit 33 to display the second animation shown in FIG. 9 after a predetermined time has elapsed since the start of the first animation display. In this second animation display, the operator is guided to rotate and open the front door section 104 to expose the coin roll storage section 30. That is, as shown by the hatching in FIG. 9, the need for the operator to access the front door 104 is displayed by changing the color of the front door 104 to a color different from that of other parts, and The front door section 104 is placed in an open state, and an arrow indicating the opening operation of the front door section 104 is further displayed. In the second animation display, for example, like the first image, the parts of the money handling machine 1 other than the front door 104 are displayed in white, the front door 104 is displayed in blue, and the arrows are displayed in a different color. Display in red.

When the operator opens the front door 104 and it is in the open state, the front door opening/closing detection sensor (not shown) notifies the control unit 31 of an OFF signal. When the front door opening/closing detection sensor notifies the control unit 31 of an OFF signal indicating that the front door 104 is in the open state, the control unit 31 recognizes that the front door 104 is in the open state. After a predetermined time has elapsed since this notification, the control unit 31 causes the operation display unit 33 to display the third animation shown in FIG. 10 and unlocks the coin roll storage unit 30 by the storage unit lock mechanism (not shown). In this third animation, as shown by the shading in FIG. 10, the color of the coin roll storage unit 30 is changed to a color different from that of the other parts of the coin roll storage unit 30 to guide the operator to the fact that he or she needs to access the coin roll storage unit 30 next. In the third animation, for example, the parts of the money processing machine 1 other than the coin roll storage unit 30 are displayed in white, and the coin roll storage unit 30 is displayed in blue.

Next, the control unit 31 causes the operation display unit 33 to display the fourth animation shown in FIG. 11 after a predetermined time has elapsed since the start of displaying the third animation. In this fourth animation display, a guide is displayed to guide the user to put his or her hand on the handle 111 of the coin roll storage section 30. That is, as shown by the hatching in FIG. 11, the operator needs to access the coin roll storage unit 30 by changing the color of the coin roll storage unit 30 to a color different from that of the parts other than the coin roll storage unit 30. While the image is displayed, the area around the handle 111 is enlarged and displayed, and the hand holding the handle 111 is further displayed. In the fourth animation display, for example, as in the third image, the parts of the money handling machine 1 other than the coin roll storage section 30 are displayed in white, the coin roll storage section 30 is displayed in blue, and the hand is displayed in contrast to these parts. are displayed in different skin tones.

Next, the control unit 31 causes the operation display unit 33 to display the fifth animation shown in FIG. 12 after a predetermined time has elapsed from the start of displaying the fourth animation. In this fifth animation display, the player is guided to pull out the coin roll storage section 30 toward the front while keeping his or her hand on the handle 111. That is, as shown by the hatching in FIG. 12, the need for the operator to access the coin roll storage unit 30 is displayed by changing the color of the coin roll storage unit 30 to a color different from that of other parts. At the same time, the coin roll storage unit 30 is pulled out from the box 101, and an arrow indicating the operation of pulling out the coin roll storage unit 30 is displayed. In this fifth animation display, for example, like the fourth image, the parts of the money handling machine 1 other than the coin roll storage section 30 are displayed in white, the coin roll storage section 30 is displayed in blue, and the hand is displayed in skin color. , arrows are displayed in a different red color.

Then, when the coin roll storage section 30 is pulled out to the front side and becomes open, a storage section opening/closing detection sensor (not shown) notifies the control section 31 of an OFF signal. When the OFF signal indicating that the coin roll storage unit 30 is in the open state is notified from the storage unit opening/closing detection sensor, the control unit 31 detects that the coin roll storage unit 30 has been pulled out and has entered the open state. Recognize.

When the coin roll storage unit 30 is pulled out and opened, the control unit 31 turns its attention to the left side of the coin roll storage unit 30 that has been pulled out to the front and displays the coin roll cassettes 50 for each denomination. A sixth animation display (not shown) is displayed on the operation display section 33 to guide the user to visually confirm the number of actual coins B. Then, as shown in FIG. 7, the operator calculates the number of actual coin rolls B stored in each of the coin roll cassettes 50 for each denomination based on the denomination display section 125 and scale 126, that is, the number of actual coin rolls B stored in each of the coin roll cassettes 50 for each denomination. Visually check the number of denominations and record the results on a recording medium such as a document.

Then, when the operator finishes checking the number of coin rolls and presses the "Confirm" button on the operation display unit 33, the control unit 31 displays on the operation display that the "collection of coin rolls (visual inspection)" process is completed. 33, and after a predetermined period of time has elapsed, a seventh animation display (not shown) with the arrow pointing in the opposite direction (pushing direction) to the fifth animation display described above is displayed on the operation display section 33. to urge the coin roll storage section 30 to be pushed into the box 101. Then, when the coin roll storage section 30 is pushed to the rear end position and is in the closed state, a storage section locking mechanism (not shown) automatically and mechanically locks the coin roll storage section 30 to the case 101. At the same time, the storage opening/closing detection sensor (not shown) notifies the control unit 31 of an ON signal. When the ON signal indicating that the coin roll storage unit 30 is in the closed state is notified from the storage opening/closing detection sensor, the control unit 31 recognizes that the coin roll storage unit 30 is in the closed state. do. Then, the control unit 31 causes the operation display unit 33 to display an eighth animation display (not shown) with the arrow pointing in the opposite direction (closed direction) to the second animation display described above. When the front door 104 is in the closed state, a front door locking mechanism (not shown) automatically and mechanically locks the front door 104 to the case 101. At the same time, the front door opening/closing detection sensor (not shown) notifies the control unit 31 of an ON signal. When the front door opening/closing detection sensor notifies the ON signal indicating that the front door 104 is in the closed state as described above, the control unit 31 recognizes that the front door 104 is in the closed state. . Then, the control unit 31 completes the "coin roll collection (visual inspection)" process and returns the money handling machine 1 to the standby state.

In addition, when completing the above-described "recovery of coin rolls (visual inspection)" process, the control unit 31 also records the denominations stored in each of all the coin roll cassettes 50, which is stored in itself. Update the number data of gold bar B to 0 for all denominations. In other words, when completing the "collection of coin rolls (visual inspection)" process, the control unit 31 updates the amount of coin rolls in the coin roll cassette 50 for each denomination to "0" for all denominations.

As described above, the "coin roll recovery (visual inspection)" process is a pseudo-total recovery process of B coin rolls, in which all B coin rolls stored in the denomination-specific coin roll cassettes 50 are virtually removed from the machine and the amount of B coin rolls in the denomination-specific coin roll cassettes B is updated to "0" for all denominations.

<Status after performing the “Collection of coins (visual inspection)” process>
Next, the state after performing the "recovery of coin rolls (visual inspection)" process will be described. After performing the "recovery of coin rolls (visual inspection)" process, as described above, the process of "loading coin rolls (visual inspection)" must be performed as a set. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 13, the control unit 31 displays "Collection of coins (visual)" on the standby screen of the operation display section 33 after performing the "Collection of coins (visual)" process, as shown in FIG. A warning message screen saying "This is in progress. Please load (visually check) coin rolls." is displayed on the operation display unit 33 to prompt the operator to confirm. That is, the operation display section 33 displays a caution display to call attention to perform the deemed loading process, which will be described later, after the above-described deemed full recovery process. After this warning is displayed, when the operator presses the "confirm" button on the operation display section 33, the warning message screen disappears and the screen switches to the business processing menu list display screen.

Furthermore, even in this business process menu list display, the control unit 31 has an operational restriction so that processes that increase or decrease the amount of coin bars B in the coin bar cassette 50, such as "coin bar dispensing" and "coin wrapping and storage", cannot be performed unless the "coin bar loading (visual)" process described later is being performed. That is, when the selection operation of the "coin bar inspection (visual)", which is an inspection operation, is input to the operation display unit 33, the control unit 31 disables the operation of the coin bar storage and transport unit 121 and the coin bar release and transport unit 122 until the "coin bar loading (visual)" process described later, i.e., the deemed loading process, is completed after performing the deemed full recovery process described above. Note that processes that do not increase or decrease the amount of coin bars B in the coin bar cassette 50, such as "coin dispensing" and "coin deposit", can be performed normally and are not subject to operational restrictions.

In other words, in the "collection of gold bars (visual inspection)" process, the stock amount is updated to 0 as if all of the gold bars B have been recovered, so the storage and release of gold bars B are not performed in this state. In other words, the control section 31 disables these operations so that fluctuations in stock amount will not be affected. As a method for guiding the operator to this invalid state, for example, in the list of business process menus displayed on the operation display section 33, process menus such as "Payout of coins" and "Coin packaging and storage" are displayed in red. It suffices if they are displayed in a manner that allows them to be distinguished by display, shading, or the like. Of course, after the “roll loading (visual)” process, that is, the deemed loading process, which will be described later, is performed, these restrictions are lifted and a warning message as shown in FIG. 13 is displayed on the standby screen of the operation display unit 33. will no longer be displayed, and the operational restrictions will also be lifted when displaying the list of business processing menus. In other words, the control section 31 causes the operation display section 33 to display a caution display calling attention to perform the deemed loading process after the deemed full recovery process, and after this warning display, the operation display section 33 When an operation to start the random loading process is input, the random loading process is performed.

<“Loading gold bars (visual inspection)” process>
Next, the operating procedure for the "roll loading (visual inspection)" process will be described below. When the operator first selects "Scrutiny (visual inspection)" from the operation display section 33, the control section 31 selects "Caution (visual inspection)" from the operation display section 33, and the control section 31 selects the "recovery coin collection (visual inspection)" process and the "loading coin roll (visual inspection)" process in the previous process. Provided that only our "Collect coin rolls (visual inspection)" process has been completed, display the operation menu for "Load coin rolls (visual inspection)" on the operation display section 33, and select "Load coin rolls (visual inspection)". Make the process executable. Then, when the operator selects "Load coin roll (visual)" on the operation display unit 33 and presses the "execute" button, the control unit 31 loads the coin roll cassettes 50 by denomination shown in FIG. All coin roll holding mechanisms 80 provided at each stage are moved back and forth along the coin roll cassette 50.

By moving the coin roll holding mechanism 80 in the front-back direction in this way, the coin roll B is relatively passed between the pair of magnetic sensors 140 and 141 of the magnetic data detection unit 139, and all magnetic data are In the detection unit 139, magnetic data of the coin roll B stored in the corresponding coin roll cassette 50 is detected by the respective magnetic sensors 140 and 141. Based on the magnetic data detected by all the magnetic data detection units 139, the control unit 31 determines whether or not there is a normal gold bar, and whether there is a different denomination bar including an abnormal state in which it was not possible to identify which denomination of the coin bar it is. After confirming the presence or absence of gold, the presence or absence of an abnormal posture in the loaded coin roll, and the amount of normal coin rolls, the reconsideration operation is completed.

When the re-counting operation is completed and it is confirmed that there are no abnormalities and all the rolled coins are normal, the control unit 31 displays the re-counting results (the denomination and number of rolled coins, i.e., the stock amount of rolled coins). 33. In this state, the operator compares, for example, the data displayed on the operation display section 33 with the data recorded on a recording medium such as a document in the immediately preceding "recovery of coins (visual inspection)" process. Then, when the operator presses the "confirm" button on the operation display section 33, the control section 31 causes the operation display section 33 to display that the "roll loading (visual inspection)" process has been completed. At this time, the control unit 31 also changes the number of coin rolls B stored in the coin roll cassettes 50 for each denomination from 0 to "repeat" for all denominations, that is, for all coin roll cassettes 50. Update the number to ``as a result of my guess''. In other words, the stock amount of the gold rolls B in the gold roll cassette 50 for each denomination is updated to the "reconsidered results" for all the denominations.

As described above, the process of "loading coin rolls (visual inspection)" refers to the process of pseudo-returning all of the coin rolls B that have been pseudo-recovered in the process of "recovering coin rolls (visual inspection)" to the coin roll cassette 50, that is, loading them. The number of bars B to be reversed for each denomination, that is, the amount of bars B in each denomination cassette 50, is calculated for all denominations through the reconsideration process, and the "recount result" is calculated. This is an assumed loading process that simplifies the process.

As described above, in the money handling machine 1 of the present embodiment, when the operation of "roll inspection (visual inspection)" which is a scrutiny operation is input to the operation display section 33, the operation display section 33 displays the coin roll storage section 30. The control unit 31 guides visual confirmation of the coin B, and when the coin roll storage section 30 is opened and the coin roll B can be visually confirmed according to this guidance, the control unit 31 detects the presence of the coin roll B stored in the coin roll storage section 30. This will update the high value to 0 and perform a deemed full collection process. After the money handling machine 1 performs the deemed total collection process, all the magnetic data detection units 139 reconsider the coin roll B stored in the coin roll storage unit 30, and the control unit 31 30 is updated from 0 to the result calculated by all the magnetic data detection units 139 again.

Further, in the money handling method using the money handling machine 1 of the present embodiment, when the operation of "roll inspection (visual inspection)" which is a scrutiny operation is input to the operation display section 33, the operation display section 33 A step of inducing visual confirmation of the coin roll B in the storage unit 30, and following this guidance, when the coin roll storage unit 30 is opened and the coin roll B can be visually confirmed, the control unit 31 causes the control unit 31 to place the coin roll B in the storage unit 30. A step of updating the stock amount of the stored coin roll B to 0, a step in which the magnetic data detection unit 139 reconsiders the coin roll B stored in the coin roll storage unit 30, and then a step in which the control unit 31 The method includes the step of updating the amount of the coin roll B stored in the coin roll storage unit 30 from 0 to the result obtained by reconsideration by the magnetic data detection unit 139.

As described above, in the currency handling machine 1 and currency handling method of this embodiment, the manner in which the full recovery and return process are performed as a set for the inspection of the coin rolls B is the same as in the conventional technology, but in the "coin roll recovery (visual)" process, the operator only needs to visually confirm the coin rolls B stored in the coin roll storage section 30, and in the "coin roll loading (visual)" process, the magnetic data detection unit 139 only needs to recount the coin rolls B stored in the coin roll storage section 30. In other words, in the inspection process of the coin rolls B, there is no need to transport the coin rolls B within the currency handling machine 1 to recover them, and there is also no need to transport the recovered coin rolls B within the currency handling machine 1 to recover them, so the processing time can be significantly shortened. In addition, when transporting the coin rolls B within the money handling machine 1 to collect them, and transporting the collected coin rolls B within the money handling machine 1 for return processing, for example, the coin rolls B may be fully collected by being discharged outside the machine from a coin roll discharge port (not shown), and the collected coin rolls B may be returned (loaded) into the machine from a coin roll insertion port (not shown), or, as in the device described in JP 2001-101483 A, the coin rolls may be fully collected by moving within the machine, and then returned by moving within the machine. In either case, this embodiment can significantly reduce the processing time.

In addition, all the coin roll cassettes 50 in the coin roll storage section 30 are equipped with a scale 126 that indicates the number of coin rolls stored, so you can tell the number of coins by looking at the scale 126 without counting the number of coins. can be grasped.

Moreover, since the storage part opening/closing detection sensor (not shown) is provided to detect when the coin roll storage part 30 is pulled out from the box 101 and is in the open state, this storage part opening/closing detection sensor detects whether the coin roll storage part 30 is in the open state. By detecting the open state, the control unit 31 can assume that the scale 126 has been visually observed.

In addition, the control unit 31 causes the operation display unit 33 to display a caution display calling attention to perform the deemed loading process after the deemed full collection process, and after this warning display, the operation display unit 33 When an operation to start the random loading process is input, the random loading process is performed. Therefore, the deemed total recovery process and the deemed loading process can be performed as a set. In other words, since the deemed all collection process and the deemed loading process must be performed as a set, if only the deemed all recovery process is being performed, a warning display prompting you to perform the deemed loading process will be activated, and the operation will be interrupted. The operator will be able to recognize that the operation is incomplete and complete the operation.

In addition, when the operation of “roll inspection (visual inspection)” which is an inspection operation is input to the operation display unit 33, the control unit 31 controls the operation of the inspection unit 31 for a period of time until the deemed all collection process is performed and the deemed loading process is completed. The gold storage conveyance section 121 and the coin release conveyance section 122 are disabled. In the deemed total collection process, the stock amount of the gold bar B is updated to 0 as it is treated as a pseudo-full collection of the gold bar B, so the stock of the gold bar B is stored and released in this state, and the amount of the gold bar B is The control unit 31 can be disabled so as not to be able to perform these operations so that fluctuations in stock amount will not be affected.

[Modification 1]
In the process of "scrutiny of coins (visual inspection)" which is performed by inputting the operation of "scrutiny of coins (visual inspection)" into the operation display section 33, the coins in the coins storage section are 30 is released, the operator finishes visually confirming the number of coin rolls B, and presses the "confirm" button on the operation display section 33, indicating that the "scrutiny (visual inspection)" process is completed. Although explained above, it is not limited to this. For example, in the deemed total collection process, after the coin roll storage section 30 is opened, the operator visually confirms the number of coin rolls B, and this information, which is information related to the visually confirmed coin rolls B, is It may be treated as completed by inputting the number from the operation display unit 33 as an input means, or furthermore, the number of coins input from the operation display unit 33 and the coin roll B managed by the control unit 31 may be treated as completed. If the number matches, it may be treated as completed. Separately, a tablet terminal (positioned as a handset on the operation display section 33 of the money handling machine 1) is provided as an input means that the operator can carry, so that the operator can visually check the number of coins B. When checking, all coin roll cassettes 50 in the coin roll storage section 30 are imaged from the left side with a camera built into the tablet terminal, and this information, which is information related to the coin roll B that has been visually confirmed, is displayed. The processing may be deemed to have been completed when the imaging data (including information on the date and time of imaging) has been transferred to the control unit 31 via communication. In this way, it is possible to make the conditions under which the operator visually confirms the number of coin rolls B by making the conditions more strict by devising an appropriate method.

In other words, after the operation of "scrutiny of coin rolls (visual inspection)", which is a scrutiny operation, is input to the operation display section 33 and the coin roll storage section 30 is opened in the deemed all collection process, the coin rolls that are visually confirmed are It may also include an operation display section 33 or a tablet terminal (not shown) into which information related to B is input. Thereby, as evidence of visual confirmation, the quantity of the visually confirmed coin rolls B is inputted via the operation display section 33 or a tablet terminal (not shown), thereby allowing the operator to input and record whether or not the visual confirmation was actually made. It becomes like this.

[Modification 2]
It has been explained that when the "coin roll recovery (visual)" process is performed, the amount of the coin rolls B by denomination in the coin roll cassette 50 is updated to 0, and when the "coin roll loading (visual)" process is performed, the amount of the coin rolls B by denomination in the coin roll cassette 50 is updated to the amount as a result of the recounting process. However, since the above process is merely a pseudo process, the amount of the coin rolls B in the coin roll cassette 50 may also be managed by the control unit 31 as a virtual amount associated with the pseudo process. That is, as an example, the amount of the coin rolls in the coin roll cassette 50 is classified into a dual structure of a true amount and a virtual amount. The true amount is updated only when the number of coin rolls B in the coin roll cassette 50 increases or decreases, while the virtual amount is updated only when the pseudo process, "coin roll recovery (visual)" process or "coin roll loading (visual)" process, is performed. This configuration makes inventory management easier to understand.

That is, the control unit 31 manages the stock amount of the coin roll B in the coin roll storage section 30 by classifying it into a dual structure of the true stock amount and the virtual stock amount. Then, “scrutiny of coin rolls (visual inspection)” as a scrutiny operation is input to the operation display unit 33, and the amount of coin rolls B stored in the coin roll storage unit 30 is reduced to 0 by the deemed all collection process and the deemed loading process. When the magnetic data detection unit 139 updates the magnetic data to the reconsidered result, the control unit 31 updates only the virtual stock amount. As a result, the stock amount of the gold roll B is classified into a dual structure of the true stock amount and the virtual stock amount, and is managed by the control unit 31. In other words, during detailed inspection, the virtual stock amount may be updated to 0 due to a pseudo-full collection, or the stock amount may be updated to 0 due to a pseudo-return (reload) process, or the result of a pseudo-reconfirmation performed instead of a reversal (loading) process. All you have to do is update the stock amount. Therefore, the stock amount as a result of the pseudo-reconfirmation does not affect the true stock amount, making stock management easier to understand.

In the embodiment, the coin processing machine 1 is described in which the coin processing device section 10 and the coin processing device section 11 are installed together, but the present invention is not limited to this. The processing device section 10 may have a configuration in which other components are added in addition to the coin processing device section 11 or without the coin processing device section 11. The coin-roll processing device section 10 does not need the packaging section 36, and therefore can be applied to various money-handling machines as long as they can store and dispense at least the coin-rolls B.

Further, in the embodiment, the explanation has been given by taking as an example the money processing machine 1 in which the packaged coins are coin rolls B and the processing machine has the coin roll processing unit 10. The present invention can also be applied to a money handling machine 1 that stores small bundles of banknotes as wrapped money, as long as it has a form and a reconsideration function. In that case, the invention can be applied to various money handling machines as long as they can accommodate and dispense at least small bundles of banknotes.

Further, as for the form of the storage section, as shown in FIG. It can also be applied to a money handling machine in which the number of stored bills can be read, and as shown in FIG. The present invention can also be applied to a money handling machine that can read the number of stored small bundles of banknotes T in conjunction with each other. In addition, in these money handling machines, the coin rolls B and small bundles T in the storage section are stored in the coin roll storage section 202 or the small bundle storage section 212 by the operator's hands, or are stored in the coin roll storage section 202 or the small bundle storage section 212 by the operator's hand. Although the small bundle storage unit 212 may be ejected from the small bundle storage portion 212, the present invention does not depart from the technical scope of the present invention. In other words, it can be applied to coin handling machines in general and banknote handling machines in general, which handle media such as coin rolls B and small bundles of banknotes T, as well as to any form of money handling machines that partially or comprehensively combine these machines. become.
