First, the deposit processing will be explained with reference to the flowcharts in FIGS. 8(i) and (b).

When the deposit process is specified on an operation unit (not shown) (operation unit installed on aircraft 1 or Teller's Machine), CP IJ 101
The motor M is rotated forward for a predetermined period of time to open the shutter 3 of the coin dispenser 02 (Step ■) 6 After inserting the deposited coins onto the bottom plate 8 of the coin delivery section 6 through the coin dispenser opening 2 ( Step ■) When the import start switch is operated (Step ■), the CPU 1G+ reverses the motor M1 for a predetermined time to close the shutter 3 of the coin withdrawal port 2, and at the same time turns the motor M2 for a predetermined time. The motors M3 and M4 are rotated forward to open the bottom plate 8 of the coin delivery section 6.
is turned on to rotate the feeding belt l3 and the reversing roller 14 of the coin receiving and feeding section l1 (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 reversing roller 14 at the bottom of the coin receiving/dispensing section 11 are connected to each other. They are fed out one by one by action.

The deposited coins fed out by the feeding belt 13 from the coin receiving and feeding section l1 are transferred to the conveyor belt 20 in the coin identification passage l6.
The coins are taken in and transported with a gap between the coins due to the difference in circumferential speed between the delivery belt 13 and the transport belt 2G.

The deposited coins conveyed through the coin identification path 16 are identified by the identification unit 21 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 fake coin or a pasted coin such as a foreign coin (step ■), the solenoid SD2 is turned on for a predetermined time (step ■), and the deposit reject coin removal port 22 is closed. A shutter 23 corresponding to the position is opened for a predetermined period of 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 bell +62.

Further, as a result of the identification by the identification unit 21, 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. , the temporarily reserved coins are dropped from the temporarily reserved coin removal port 26 with the shutter 27 open, and sent onto the endless belt 32 of the temporarily reserved coin 61 (31) where they are temporarily retained 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 (3), 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); 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. 63 (step 0),
The coins that are rejected onto the first dispensing conveyance belt 62 or 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 rejected coins identified by the above-mentioned identification unit 21 ( Step ■), stop the motor M9 and move the first and second dispensing conveyor belts 62. 63 is stopped, and then the motor M is rotated forward for a predetermined period of time to open the shutter 3 of the coin withdrawal 02 (step O). Thereby, coins fed into the coin delivery section 6 or ejected 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 port 2 is closed (step 2), the deposit process is stopped, and a predetermined abnormality process 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 Ml 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. Close the shutter 3 (Ste Tsubu■).

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 0@).

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 storage section 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. 63 (step 0). As a result, the deposited coins temporarily held on the endless belt 32 of the temporary storage section 3l 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 0), and if this counted number matches the number of normal coins identified by the identification unit 21 during the above-mentioned identification. (Step ■), the motor M1 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 to close the endless belt 32, the first and second output ports. Gold conveyor belt 62. 63 is stopped, and the motor MV is reversely rotated for a predetermined period of time to close the shutter 37 of the temporary storage section 31 (step @). Thereby, the deposited coins sent into the coin delivery section 6 can be taken out through the coin withdrawal port 2.

In addition, the sensor S6 of the coin delivery section 6 determines whether the coins fed into the coin delivery section 6 are taken out within a predetermined time (step ■@), and even if the predetermined time or more has elapsed, the coins are not delivered to the coin delivery section 6. If there remains, the motor M1 is reversed for a predetermined period of time to close the shutter 3 of the coin withdrawal port 2 (step O), the deposit process is stopped, and a predetermined abnormality process is performed. On the other hand, if a coin is taken out within a predetermined time, the motor M is reversed for a predetermined time after a predetermined time has elapsed since the removal of the coin is detected by the sensor S6, and the shutter 3 of the coin withdrawal port 2 is closed. (step @), and the deposit processing is completed.

On the other hand, when the deposit approval switch is operated in step ■, first, it is determined whether there is a denomination for which the near-end detection sensor S4 of the coin storing and dispensing section 51 for each denomination has detected the near-end (step 0). , Here, if it is determined that there is a near-end denomination, it is determined whether the near-end denomination is among the deposited coins (step ■).

When there is no near-end denomination or when there is no near-end denomination among the deposited coins, the motor M8 is rotated forward for a predetermined period of time to open the shutter 38 on the lump sum box 76 side of the temporary holding section 31, and then the motor M6 is rotated forward. Reverse the temporary storage section 3
The endless belt 32 of No. 1 is rotated in the direction of the metal box 76 (step [phase]). As a result, the deposited coins temporarily held on the endless belt 32 of the temporary holding section 31 are fed into the money box 76 at once through the receiving port 77.

Then, after a predetermined time has elapsed (step ■), the motor M
6 is stopped to stop the rotation of the endless belt 32 of the temporary holding section 31, and the motor M8 is reversely rotated to close the shutter 38 of the temporary holding section 3l (step @), thereby ending the deposit processing.

In addition, if there is a near-end denomination in the coin storing and dispensing section 51 by denomination in step 0 @, and there is a near-end denomination in the deposited coins, the coin storing and dispensing section 51 of the deposited coins contains the near-end denomination.
You will send the denominations that can be stored into 1. First, the motor M7 is rotated forward for a predetermined period of time to open the shutter 37 on the first dispensing conveyance belt 62 side of the temporary holding section 31, and then the motor M6 is rotated forward to open the endless belt 32 of the temporary holding section 31. It is rotated in the direction of the first conveyance belt 62 (step [phase]), and the deposited coins temporarily reserved on the endless belt 32 are sent onto the first disbursement conveyance belt 62.

Next, turn on the motor M, and move the first
and a second dispensing conveyor belt 62. 63 and rotates the motor M2 in the forward direction for a predetermined period of time.

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).

Then, the number of coins sent from the temporary storage section 31 to the coin delivery section 6 through the dispensing conveyance path 61 is counted by the sensor S2 at the exit section of the dispensing conveyance path 61 (step ■). From the delivery section 6 to the coin receiving/dispensing section 1
The coins fed into the coin identification path 16 one by one through the coin identification path 16 are identified and counted by the identification unit 21 of the coin identification path 16 (step @).

Regarding the coins passing through this identification section 21 (step cD
), determines whether the coin is a near-end denomination (step o), and if it is a near-end denomination, temporarily holds coin removal port 2.
Solenoid SD.6 that opens and closes the shutter 27 of SD.6. Determine whether or not it is on (step 0), and if it is not on, turn it on and close the shutter 27 (step 0)
. As a result, coins of the near-end denominations are sent into the coin sorting passage 46 through the temporarily reserved coin removal port 26, and are passed through the coin sorting passage 46 of the corresponding denomination to the corresponding coin storage cylinder of the coin storage and discharging section 5l for each denomination. It is stored in 52.

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 the one for which fullness has been detected (step o), and if the denomination is not full, the coins pass over the temporarily held coin removal port 26 with the shutter 27 closed and enter the coin sorting passage 46. The coins are sorted and stored in the coin storage/dispensing section 51 by denomination. 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/dispensing section 51, 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 solenoid 7, is off (step o), and if it is not off, it is turned off to open the shutter 27 (step [phase]). As a result, the coins of the full denominations are removed to the temporary storage section 31 through the temporary storage coin removal port 26, and fed into the money box 76 all at once by the endless belt 32 of the temporary storage section 3l.

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 number of coins does not match while being sent to the coin delivery section 6 by When the sheets are fed into Watanabe 6 and the numbers match, it is determined whether motor M9 is turned off (step @).
, if it has not been turned off, then turn it off and turn the first and second dispensing conveyor belts 62. Stop the rotation of 63 (step 0)
.

After that, it is determined whether the received coin number data by the identifying unit 21 at the time of the first deposit identification matches the number of coins passed by the identifying unit 21 (step @), and the coin passing unit 6, the coin receiving/dispensing unit l1, and the coin identifying passage. If the numbers of coins do not match while the coins are being fed into the coin identification path 16, repeat steps Q to [stock]. On the other hand, when all the coins have been fed into the coin identification path 16 and the numbers match, the motor M2 is turned to a predetermined position. The time is reversed to close the bottom plate 8 of the coin delivery section 6, and the motor M
, to stop the rotation of the feeding belt l3 and the reversing roller 14 of the coin receiving and feeding section 11 (step 0).

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 outlet 5l. 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 5l by denomination, the coins in the deposited coins are By checking and replenishing seeds, replenishment efficiency is improved.

Next, the withdrawal process will be explained with reference to the flowcharts in FIGS. 9(i), (b), and (c).

After the withdrawal processing is specified and withdrawal data such as the denomination and number of coins to be withdrawn are entered on the operation unit (not shown) (operation unit provided on the aircraft 1 or Teller's machine) (Step O), When the gold start switch is operated (step Q), first,
Near-end detection sensor s4 of coin storing and dispensing section 51 by denomination
It is determined whether there is a denomination for which a near-end has been detected (step o), and if so, it is determined whether or not coins of that denomination are being withdrawn (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 lump sum box 76 instead of from the denomination-specific coin storage/dispensing section 5l. . The bulk money box T6 collectively stores coins of various denominations, such as coins that have been stored in advance when being attached to the machine body 1 and coins that are sent in through the above-described deposit processing.

First, the motors M and M are turned on to rotate the feeding belt 81 and reversing belt 91 of the bulk money box 76, and the conveying belt 94 of the conveying path 92, and the motors M3 and M4 are rotated.

2. 63, the motor M8 is rotated in reverse for a predetermined period of time to open the shutter 38 on the bulk money box 76 side of the temporary storage section 3I, and the motor M6 is reversed to release the endless belt 32 of the temporary storage section 3l in one batch. Rotate it toward the gold box 76 (step [stock]). 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, and the coins are fed out one by one through the conveyance path 9.
2, the coins are conveyed with a gap between them due to the circumferential speed difference between the feeding belt 81 and the conveying belt 94, and are sent from this conveying path 92 to the coin receiving and feeding section 1l. The coins are fed out one by one into the coin identification path l6.

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 the sensor S, (step Ie).
, and 1 from the coin receiving and feeding section 11 to the coin identification passage 16.
The coins fed in one by one are identified and counted by the identifying section 21 of the coin identifying path 16 (step [F]).

Also, it is determined whether or not there is a coin that passes through the identification unit 21 (step ■), and if there is a coin that passes, it is determined whether or not the coin is necessary for withdrawal (step @), and if it is determined that it is necessary. For example, it is determined whether the solenoid SD2 is on (step @), and if it is not on, it is turned on to open the shutter 23 of the deposit reject coin removal port 22 (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.
