Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Object of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a coin processing machine such as a coin withdrawal processing machine that performs coin deposit processing and coin withdrawal processing in a financial institution such as a bank. Regarding the payment processing method of the machine.

(Prior art) At financial institutions such as banks, there is a circulation type coin dispenser that can perform deposit processing and withdrawal processing with one machine, and can circulate deposited coins as coins for withdrawal. is used.

In such a cash dispensing machine, deposited coins are stored all at once in a coin box, and when dispensing, coins are ejected from a coin storage/dispensing section for each denomination. There is a device that replenishes coins from the aforementioned bulk money box to the denomination-specific coin storing and dispensing section when the number of coins stored in the dispensing section becomes low.

Separately from this, the deposited coins are fed into a coin storage/dispensing unit for each denomination, and when this coin storage/dispensing unit for each denomination is full, subsequent deposited coins are transferred to the overflow coin box as overflow coins. There is a device designed to collect it.

(Problem to be Solved by the Invention) However, in the case of the former device in which deposited coins are stored in a money box all at once, the time required for one transaction from coin insertion to storage during a deposit transaction is short; When the number of coins in the denomination-specific coin storage/dispensing section decreases, it is necessary to temporarily stop the deposit transaction and replenish the coins from the bulk coin box. This process is performed until the coin dispensing section is full, so it takes a considerable amount of time from the start to the completion of replenishment, and during that time, withdrawal transactions cannot be performed, causing inconvenience to customers and other users. .

In addition, in the case of the latter device in which the deposited coins are sent to the coin storage and ejection section by denomination, the deposited coins are conveyed to the coin storage and ejection section by denomination for each deposit transaction, and the coins are transported to the coin storage and ejection section by denomination. When the bank is full, the coins of that denomination must be collected as overflow coins in the overflow gold box, which takes a considerable amount of time to process one deposit, causing inconvenience to customers and other users. .

Therefore, the present invention aims to shorten the processing time from the generation of a command to take in deposited coins to the completion of taking in coins as much as possible, as well as to reduce the number of people to replenish coins to the coin storing and dispensing section for each denomination. The object of the present invention is to provide a deposit processing method for a coin processing machine that makes it possible to eliminate the time during which gold transactions are stopped.

[Structure of the invention]

(Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention provides a coin processing machine that temporarily holds input deposited coins in a batch after identification and counting in an identification unit 21, and performs predetermined deposit processing based on an external import command. In the deposit processing method, when an external import command is issued, the amount of coins in the denomination-specific coin storage/dispensing section 5l provided for withdrawal and the denomination of deposited coins are checked, and as a result of this check, the amount of coins deposited is checked. If there is no denomination for which the amount of coins in the typed coin storage/dispensing unit 5l has decreased below a predetermined amount, or if there is a denomination for which the amount of coins has decreased below a predetermined amount, there is no coin of that denomination among the deposited coins. There is a denomination in which the temporarily reserved coins are sent as they are to the bulk money box 76, and the amount of coins in the denomination-specific coin storage/dispensing section 51 has decreased to a predetermined amount or less, and the coins of that denomination are If the coins are among the deposited coins, the temporarily reserved coins are re-identified by the identification unit 21, and the coins that can be stored in the denomination-specific coin storage and dispensing unit 51 are sent to the denomination-specific coin storage and dispensing unit 51, Coins that cannot be stored in the coin storing and dispensing section 51 by denomination are fed into the coin box 76 in bulk.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained.

First, the deposit processing will be explained with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 8(1)(b).

When a deposit process is designated by an operation unit (not shown) (operation unit provided on the machine 1 or teller's machine), the CPU 101 rotates the motor M1 in the normal direction for a predetermined period of time and opens the shutter 3 of the coin withdrawal port 2. (Step ■) After inserting deposited coins onto the bottom plate 8 of the coin delivery section 6 through the coin withdrawal port 2 (Step ■), when the receiving start switch is operated (Step ■), the CPU 101 The motor M is reversed for a predetermined period of time to close the shutter 3 of the coin withdrawal port 2,
At the same time, the motor M2 is rotated forward for a predetermined period of time to open the bottom plate 8 of the coin delivery section 6, and the motor M3. M4 is turned on to rotate the feeding belt 13 and reversing roller 14 of the coin receiving/feeding section 1l (step (2)).

As a result, the deposited coins inserted onto the bottom plate 8 of the coin delivery section 6 are discharged all at once to the coin receiving/dispensing section 11 located below, and the dispensing belt 13 and the reversing roller 14 at the bottom of the coin receiving/dispensing section 1l are connected to each other. They are fed out one by one by action.

The deposited coins fed out from the coin receiving and feeding section 11 by the feeding belt 13 are transferred to the conveyor belt 20 in the coin identification passage 16.
The coins are taken in and transported with a gap between the coins due to the difference in circumferential speed between the delivery belt l3 and the transport belt 20.

The deposited coins conveyed through the coin identification path 1G are identified by the identification unit 2l and counted for each denomination (step 2).

As a result of the identification by the identification unit 21, if the coin is identified as a counterfeit coin or a foreign coin (step 2), the solenoid SD. is turned on for a predetermined period of time (step 2), the shutter 23 which has been in the closed state at the deposit reject coin removal port 22 is opened for a predetermined time, and only the corresponding rejected coins are allowed to fall and be removed from the deposit reject coin removal port 22. The dropped and ejected coins are fed through the chute 25 onto the first dispensing conveyance belt 62.

Further, as a result of the identification by the identification unit 2l, the coin that is identified as normal passes through the deposit reject coin removal port 22 over the shutter 23 which is in the closed state (the solenoid SD2 is in the off state), and the solenoid SD is in the off state. At this time, the coins fall and are removed from the temporarily reserved coin removal port 26, where the shutter 27 is open, and are sent onto the endless belt 32 of the temporary storing section 3l, where they are temporarily stored all at once.

Then, steps ■ to ■ are repeated until the recognition section 21 of the coin recognition passage 16 does not identify any coins for a predetermined time, and when it is determined that there is no coin for a predetermined time, the motor M2 is reversed for a predetermined time and the coin delivery section 6 closing the bottom plate 8, and
The motors M, , M4 are turned off to stop the rotation of the feeding belt 13, the reversing roller 14, and the conveying belt 20 (step (2)).

Next, it is determined whether or not there are reject coins among the deposited coins (step 0). If there are reject coins, the process proceeds to step (2), and if there are no reject coins, the process proceeds to step 0.

If there is a reject coin among the deposited coins, the motor M is turned on and the first and second dispensing conveyance belts 62. of the dispensing conveyance path 61 are moved. Rotate 63 (step ■),
The coins rejected or rejected onto the first dispensing conveyance belt 62 are sent to the coin delivery section 6.

At this time, the sensor S2 at the exit of the dispensing conveyance path 61 counts the number of passing coins (step 0), and if this number of passing coins matches the number of reject coins identified by the above-mentioned identification section 21 (step (2), the motor M is stopped and the first and second dispensing conveyor belts 62. 63 is stopped, and then the motor M1 is rotated forward for a predetermined period of time to open the shutter 3 of the coin withdrawal port 2 (step 2). As a result,. The coins sent into the coin delivery section 6 or extracted can be taken out through the coin withdrawal port 2.

In addition, the sensor S6 of the coin delivery section 6 detects the presence or absence of a coin (step ■), and if the coin remains untaken for a predetermined period of time or more (step ■), the motor M is reversed for a predetermined period of time. The shutter 3 of the coin withdrawal 02 is closed (step 2), the deposit processing is stopped, and a predetermined abnormality processing is performed. On the other hand, if a reject coin is taken out of the coin delivery unit 6 within a predetermined time, the motor M1 is reversed for a predetermined time after a predetermined time has elapsed since the removal of the reject coin is detected by the sensor S6, and the coin withdrawal port 6 is shutter 3 is closed (step ■).

If there is no rejected coin among the deposited coins in step 0 and after closing the shutter 3 in step ■,
Wait for the deposit approval switch or return switch to be operated (step 0Φ).

Here, when the return switch is operated, first, the motor M7 is rotated in the normal direction for a predetermined period of time to open the shutter 37 on the first dispensing conveyance belt 62 side of the coin retainer 31, and then the motor M6 is rotated in the normal direction. The endless belt 32 of the temporary storage section 31 is rotated in the direction of the first dispensing conveyance belt 62, and the motor M is turned on to transfer the first and second dispensing funds in the dispensing conveyance path 61. Conveyor belt 62. Rotate 63 (
step 0). As a result, the deposited coins temporarily held on the endless belt 32 of the temporary storage section 31 are released onto the first payout conveyance belt 62, and the coins are transferred to the first payout conveyance belt 62 and the second payout conveyance belt 62. The coins are sent to the coin delivery section 6 by a conveyor belt 63.

At this time, the sensor S2 at the exit of the dispensing conveyance path 61 counts the number of passing coins (step ■), and if this counted number matches the number of normal coins identified by the identification unit 21 during the above-mentioned identification. (step ■), motor M. is rotated forward for a predetermined period of time to open the shutter 3 of the coin withdrawal port 2, and at the same time, the motors M6, M, are turned off and the endless belt 32, the first and second withdrawal conveyor belts 62. 6.3 is stopped, and the motor M7 is reversely rotated for a predetermined period of time to close the shutter 37 of the temporary storage section 3l (step @).

At the same time, the motor M6 is reversely rotated to rotate the endless belt 32 in the direction of the batch metal box 76 (step O).

The coins sent from the temporary holding section 31 to the coin delivery section 6 through the withdrawal conveyance path 61 are counted by the sensor S2 at the exit of the withdrawal conveyance path 61 (step @), and the coins are From the delivery section 6 to the coin receiving/dispensing section 1
The coins fed one by one into the coin identification path 16 through the coin identification path 16 are identified and counted by the identification section 2I of the coin identification path 16 (step @).

Regarding coins passing through this identification section 21 (step 0)
, determine whether the coin is a near-end denomination (step ◎), and if it is a near-end denomination, temporarily remove the suspended coin 026
It is determined whether the solenoid SD, which opens and closes the shutter 27, is on (step o), and if it is not on, it is turned on to close the shutter 27 (step 0).

As a result, the coins of the near-end denomination are sent into the coin sorting passage 46 through the temporarily reserved coin removal port 26,
The coins are stored in the corresponding coin storage tubes 52 of the coin storage/discharge section 51 by denomination through the sorting port 48 for the corresponding denomination.

In addition, if it is determined in step 0 that the coin type is not near-end, the fullness detection sensor S of the coin storing and dispensing unit 51 for each denomination
, to determine whether the denomination is full or not (step 0), and if the denomination is not full, the coins pass over the temporarily held coin removal 026 with the shutter 27 closed and are sent to the coin sorting passage 46. The coins are sorted and stored in the typed coin storage/dispensing section 51. Note that the coins that are determined not to be of the near-end denomination also include denominations that were initially of the near-end denomination but are no longer detected by the near-end detection sensor S4 due to the addition of coins.

When a full denomination is detected in the denomination-specific coin storage and ejection section 5l, the shutter 2 of the temporarily reserved coin removal port 26 is opened.
It is determined whether the solenoid SD, which opens and closes the shutter 27, is off (step o), and if it is not off, it is turned off to open the shutter 27 (step 0). As a result, the coins of the full denominations are removed to the temporary storage 1m31 through the temporary storage coin removal port 26, and fed into the gold box 76 all at once by the endless belt 32 of the temporary storage section 31.

In addition, it is determined whether or not the deposit number data obtained by the identification unit 21 at the time of initial deposit identification matches the passed number of coins counted by the sensor S2 at the exit of the withdrawal conveyance path 61 (step o), and at the time of deposit approval. The coins released onto the first dispensing conveyance belt 62 are transferred to the first and second dispensing conveyance belts 62, 63.
If the numbers of coins do not match while being sent to the coin delivery section 146 by When the number of sheets matches, it is determined whether motor M9 is off (step [phase]
), if it has not been turned off, turn it off and turn the first and second dispensing conveyor belts 62. Stop rotation of 63 (step @
).

Thereafter, it is determined whether or not the deposited coin number data obtained by the identification unit 2l at the time of the first deposit identification matches the number of coins passed by the identification unit 21 (step @), and the coin delivery unit 6, the coin receiving and dispensing unit I! If the numbers of coins do not match while being fed into the coin identification path 16, steps 0 to @ are repeated. On the other hand, when all the coins are fed into the coin identification path 16 and the numbers match, the motor M2 is reversed for a predetermined period of time to close the bottom plate 8 of the coin delivery section 6, and at the same time, the motor M is turned off to stop the rotation of the feeding belt 13 and the reversing roller 14 of the coin receiving and feeding section 1l (step (2)).

Then, after a predetermined time has elapsed (step ■), the motor M
a, M5, M6 are turned off to stop the rotation of the conveyor belt 20 of the coin identification path 16, the conveyor belt 47 of the coin sorting path 46, and the endless belt 32 of the temporary storage section 31, and the motor M is reversed for a predetermined period of time. Temporary hold part 3! The shutter 38 is closed, and the motor M2 is reversely rotated for a predetermined period of time to close the bottom plate 8 of the coin delivery section 6 (step 0).

Next, solenoid SD. It is determined whether or not it is turned off (step @1), and if it is not turned off, it is turned off and the shutter 27 of the temporarily reserved coin removal port 26 is opened (step [shares]), and the deposit processing is completed.

As described above, the deposit processing involves checking the amount of coins in the denomination-specific coin storage/dispensing section 51 and the denomination of the deposited coins, and depending on the result of this check, depositing coins in bulk into the gold box 76 or into the denomination-specific coin storage/dispensing unit 51. It is selectively sent to the output section 51. Therefore, normally, by sending the deposited coins to the money box 76 all at once, it is possible to shorten the deposit processing time, and when it is necessary to replenish the coin storage and dispensing section 51 by denomination, the coins in the deposited coins are By checking and replenishing seeds, replenishment efficiency is improved.

Next, regarding the withdrawal process, Figure 9 (1) (b) (c)
This will be explained with reference to the flowchart.

After the withdrawal process is specified and withdrawal data such as the denomination and number of coins to be withdrawn are input on an operation unit (not shown) (operation unit installed in the aircraft 1 or Teller's machine) (step O), the withdrawal is made. When the start switch is operated (step [shares]), first, it is determined whether there is a denomination for which the near-end detection sensor S4 of the coin storage/dispensing section 51 for each denomination has detected the near-end (step [shares]). ), it is determined whether there is a withdrawal of coins of that denomination (step 0).

Here, if there is a near-end denomination and coins of that denomination are to be withdrawn, the withdrawal will be made from the bulk money box 76 instead of from the denomination-specific coin storage/dispensing section 51. . The bulk money box 76 collectively stores coins of various denominations, such as coins that have been stored in advance when installed on the machine body 1 and coins that are sent in through the above-described deposit processing.

First, turn on motors M and M and get all the money! 11

Rotate it toward the gold box 76 (step 0). As a result, the coins stored in the bulk money box 76 are fed out one by one by the action of the feeding belt 81 and the reversing belt 91, taken into the conveyance path 92, and transferred between the feeding belt 81 and the conveying belt 91.
The coins are conveyed with a gap between them due to the difference in circumferential speed between the coins and the
The coins are fed from the conveyance path 92 to the coin receiving and feeding section 11, and are fed out one by one from the coin receiving and feeding section 11 to the coin identification path 16.

The coins sent from the bulk money box 76 to the coin receiving and feeding unit 11 through the conveyance passage 92 are
The number of passing sheets is counted by sensor S, (step @),
In addition, the coins sent one by one from the coin receiving/dispensing unit 11 to the coin identification passage 16 are passed through the identification unit 2 of the coin identification passage 16.
Discrimination is counted at 1 (step @).

Also, it is determined whether there is a coin that passes through the identification unit 21 (step @), and if there is a coin that passes, it is determined whether the coin is necessary for withdrawal (step @), and it is determined that it is necessary. If so, solenoid SD. It is determined whether or not it is on (step @), and if it is not on, it is turned on and the shutter 23 of the deposit reject coin removal port 22 is opened (step 0). As a result, the corresponding coin is removed from the deposit reject coin removal port 22 and sent onto the first withdrawal conveyance belt 62, and the coin is received by the first withdrawal conveyance belt 62 and the second withdrawal conveyance belt 63. It is sent onto the bottom plate 8 of Watanabe 6.

At the same time, it is determined whether the coins corresponding to the designated withdrawal data have passed through the identification unit 21 (step). If they have not passed, the process returns to step [stock]. On the other hand, if the coins have passed, the motor M , M is off (step), and if it is not off, it is turned off to stop the rotation of the feeding belt 8l of the bulk money box 76, the reversing belt 91, and the conveying belt 94 of the conveying path 92. By doing so, the dispensing of coins from the bulk money box 76 is stopped (step O),
We will return to the step [stock].

On the other hand, in step [stock], the coins passing through the identification unit 21 are coins that are not necessary for withdrawal (coins of a denomination not included in the withdrawal data,
Coins of the denomination for which the number of coins in the withdrawal data have already passed)
If it is determined that the denomination is full, it is determined whether or not it can be refilled based on the fullness detection by the fullness detection sensor S of the coin storing and dispensing unit 51 for that denomination (step @), and it is determined that the coin is not full and can be replenished. If so, it is determined whether the solenoid SD is off (step @), and if it is not off, it is turned off and the shutter 23 of the coin removal port 22 is turned off to reject the deposit.
(step 0), and determines whether or not the solenoid SDI is on (step [phase]). If it is not on, it is turned on and the shutter 27 of the temporarily held coin removal port 26 is closed (step 0). , return to step [stock]. As a result, the replenishable coins that have passed through the identification unit 21 are sent to the coin sorting passage 46 through the deposit reject coin removal port 22 and the temporarily reserved coin removal port 26, and are sent to the coin sorting passage 46 where the coins correspond to the corresponding denomination. sorting port 48
The coin storage tube 52 of the denomination-specific coin storage/discharge section 51 is replenished through the coin storage tube 52.

In addition, if it is determined in step (2) that the denomination-specific coin storage/dispensing unit 5 (5) is full and cannot be replenished, it is determined whether the solenoid SD is turned off (in step), and if it is not turned off, it is turned off. closes the shutter 23 of the deposit reject coin removal port 22 (step @l), and determines whether the solenoid SD is off (step @),
If it is not turned off, it is turned off, the shutter 27 of the temporarily reserved coin removal port 26 is opened (step), and the process returns to step [stock]. As a result, the coins that have passed through the identification section 21 pass over the deposit reject coin removal port 22 and are removed from the temporary storage coin removal port 26 to the temporary storage section 31, and are carried by the endless belt 32 of the - hour storage section 31. Lump sum money box 76
returned inside.

In addition, in step [stock], when there are no coins passing through the identification gzt, it is determined whether the counted number of coins fed out from the bulk money box 76 detected by the sensor S and the identified number identified by the identification unit 2l match. If the coin dispensing from the lump sum money box 76 is still continuing and does not match, the process returns to step [Stock].

Then, as described above, in steps 0 to 0, the identification unit 21
When the coins corresponding to the withdrawal data pass through, the motors M, M
+2 is stopped to stop dispensing coins from the bulk money box 76.

Therefore, no coins pass through the identification unit 21 in step [stock], and the number of coins counted by the sensor s3 and the number of coins identified by the identification unit 21 match in step [phase].

After a predetermined period of time has passed since the coincidence, motors M3 and M4
, M5 is turned off and the feeding belt 1 of the coin receiving/feeding section 11 is turned off.
3 and the rotation of the reversing roller 14, the conveyor belt 201 of the coin identification path 16, and the conveyor belt 47 of the coin sorting path 46, and the motor M6 is turned off to stop the rotation of the endless belt 32 of the temporary storage section 31. , the motor Ms is reversed for a predetermined period of time to close the shutter 38 of the temporary holding section 31 (step @).

As mentioned above, the deposit reject coin removal port 22
The dispensing coins removed onto the first dispensing conveyor belt 62 through the first dispensing conveyor belt 62. 63 to the coin delivery section 6, and the number of coins counted by the sensor S2, which counts the coins sent to the coin receiving section 6 at the exit of the dispensing conveyance path 6l, matches the number of coins in the specified dispensing data. Wait for (step @), motor M
, and turn off the first and second dispensing conveyor belts 62.
Stop the rotation of 63 (step @).

Then, the motor M1 is rotated in the forward direction for a predetermined period of time to open the shutter 3 of the coin withdrawal port 2 (step ●) to enable the coins dispensed to the coin delivery section 6 to be taken out.

The sensor S6 of the coin delivery unit 6 detects the presence or absence of a coin (step e), and if the coin remains untaken for a predetermined period of time (step ■), the motor M is reversed for a predetermined period of time. The shutter 3 of the coin withdrawal port 2 is closed (step [phase]), the withdrawal process is stopped, and a predetermined abnormality process is performed.

On the other hand, if a coin is removed from the coin delivery section 6 within a predetermined time, the motor M. is reversed for a predetermined period of time and the shutter 3 of the coin withdrawal port 2 is closed (step @).

After that, it is determined whether or not the solenoid SD is turned off (step ■), and if it is not turned off, it is turned off to open the shutter 27 of the temporarily reserved coin removal port 26 (step @), and the solenoid SD2 is turned off. If it is not turned off, it is turned off and the shutter 23 of the deposit reject coin removal port 22 is closed (step @), and the withdrawal process is completed.

On the other hand, in step faO, if there is no near-end denomination in the coin storing and dispensing section 51 by denomination, or if there is no withdrawal of that denomination even if there is a near-end denomination, then the coin storing and dispensing section 51 by denomination You will be able to withdraw coins from.

First, the motor M2 is rotated forward for a predetermined period of time to open the bottom plate 8 of the coin delivery section 6, and the motors Mg, M3, and M4 are turned on to move the first and second dispensing conveyance belts 62. of the dispensing conveyance path 61. 63, feeding belt 13 of coin receiving and feeding section 11
Then, the reversing roller 14 and the conveyor belt 20 of the coin identification path 16 are rotated (step [F]).

Next, the motor M10 of the coin dispensing means 54 of the denomination necessary for dispensing from the coin storage dispensing unit 5l for each denomination is turned on, the dispensing belt 55 is rotated (step 1), and the coins are transferred to the first dispensing section. The gold is thrown onto the gold conveying belt 62. As a result, the coins dispensed onto the first dispensing conveyor belt 62 are transferred to the first and second
Withdrawal conveyor belt 62. 63, the coins are sent through the coin delivery section 6 to the coin receiving/dispensing section 11, and from this coin receiving/dispensing section 11, the coins are fed one by one into the coin identification passage (6).
Then, in the coin identification passage 16, it passes over the deposit reject coin removal port 22 with the shutter 23 in the closed state, and passes over the temporarily reserved coin removal port 22 with the shutter 27 in the open state.
, and sent to temporary hold gB31.

The coins dispensed from the denomination-specific coin storage/dispensing section 51 are counted by denomination by the sensor S1 (step @), and the number of coins for each denomination in the above-mentioned withdrawal data and the coins for each denomination by the sensor S are calculated. It is determined whether the number of dispensed coins matches (step ■), and if there is a coin type that matches, it is determined whether the motor M10 of that denomination is turned off (step ■), and if it is not turned off, it is turned off. Then, the rotation of the delivery belt 55 of the delivery means 54 is stopped (step 2), and the delivery of coins of the matching denomination is stopped.

Further, the coins ejected from the denomination-specific coin storing and ejecting section 51 are transferred to the first and second dispensing conveyor belts 62. When the coins are fed into the coin delivery section 6 by the coin receiving/dispensing section I1, the sensor S2 at the exit of the coin dispensing passage 6l counts the number of passing coins (step O), and the coins are sent from the coin receiving/dispensing section I1 to the coin identification passage I6. The coins fed in one by one are identified and counted by the identifying section 2l (step 2).

Then, it is determined whether or not there is a coin passing through the identification unit 21 (step ■), and if there is a coin passing through, the sensor S2
It is determined whether the stored data of the number of coins counted has been reset (step ■), and since it has not been reset yet, it is determined whether the number of coins in the withdrawal data matches the number of coins that have passed through sensor S2. It is determined whether all the coins ejected from the denomination-specific coin storing and ejecting unit 51 have passed through the sensor S2 (step ■), and if they do not match, the process returns to step [stock].

Further, in step (2), if the number of coins in the withdrawal data matches the number of coins that have passed through the sensor S2, that is, all the coins dispensed from the denomination-specific coin storing and dispensing section 5l are transferred to the sensor S2.
, after a predetermined time has elapsed, the motor M2 is reversed for a predetermined time to close the bottom plate 8 of the coin delivery section 6, and
The motor Ma is rotated forward for a predetermined period of time, and the first
The shutter 37 on the dispensing conveyance belt 62 side is opened, and the motor M6 is rotated forward to rotate the endless belt 32 of the temporary storage section 31 in the direction of the first dispensing conveying belt 62 (step (St)). At the same time, the memory data of the number of sheets counted by the sensor S2 is reset (step (D),
Return to step ■. As a result, the coins being fed into the temporary holding section 31 and the coins being conveyed on the coin receiving and feeding section l1 or the coin conveying path 16 and later fed into the temporary holding section 31 are transferred to the first dispensing conveyance. belt 62 and the first and second dispensing conveyor belts 62 .
63 onto the bottom plate 8 of the coin delivery section 6, and when the coins are fed into the coin delivery section 6, the sensor S2 starts counting the number of passing coins anew.

Thereafter, the stored data of the number of sheets counted by the sensor S2 is reset in step (2), and steps O--2 are repeated.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step (2) that no coins have passed, it is determined whether or not the identification unit 21 has finished counting coins for the number of coins in the withdrawal data (step O), and the coin identification unit 21 still has coins identified. If the coins are in the middle of being conveyed to the passageway 16 and do not match, the process returns to step [stock].

In addition, in step O, if the number of coins in the withdrawal data and the number of coins counted by the identification unit 2l match, no coins will be conveyed to the identification unit 2l from then on.
s and M4 are turned off to stop the rotation of the feeding belt l3 and the reversing roller 14 of the coin receiving/feeding section 11, and the conveying belt 20 of the coin identification path l6 (step (2)).

Next, it is determined whether the number of coins in the withdrawal data matches the number of coins counted by the sensor S2 at the exit of the withdrawal conveyance path 6l (step O), and all coins discharged from the temporary storage section 3l pass through the sensor S2. When they pass and match, the motor M7 is reversed for a predetermined time to close the shutter 37 of the temporary storage section 3l, and the motor M6 is turned off to stop the rotation of the endless belt 32 of the temporary storage section 31. After the time elapses, the motor M is turned off and the first and second dispensing conveyor belts 62. 63 is stopped (step O).

Thereafter, the process returns to step e, and the coin delivery section 6
The coins sent out are then withdrawn, and the withdrawal process is completed.

As described above, in the withdrawal process, money is normally withdrawn from the denomination-specific coin storage and dispensing section 51, and if only one of the required denominations is withdrawn in the denomination-specific coin storage and dispensing section 5l. If there are less than a predetermined number of coins, the money will be withdrawn from the lump sum box 76, and at this time, among the coins dispensed from the lump sum box 76, even if the coins are of unnecessary denominations for withdrawal and can be replenished. For example, the coins are replenished in the denomination-specific coin storage/dispensing section 5l. Therefore, withdrawal of money from the lump-sum money box 76 and replenishment of coins to the denomination-specific coin storage and dispensing section 51 can be performed at the same time, and no particular time is required for the replenishment operation.

〔Effect of the invention〕

According to the present invention, at the time of deposit processing, the amount of coins in the coin storage/dispensing section for each denomination is checked and the denomination of the deposited coins is checked, and depending on the result of this check, temporarily reserved coins are transferred to a bulk gold box or to coins according to denomination. Since the coins are selectively sent to the storage/dispensing section, it is possible to shorten the deposit processing time by sending the temporarily reserved coins to the coin box all at once, and when the number of coins in the coin storage/dispensing section for each denomination decreases, temporarily suspended coins are sent to the coin storage/dispensing section. can be sent to the coin storing and dispensing section for each denomination, eliminating the need to stop depositing and dispensing transactions of the device to replenish the coins.
