Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Objective of the Invention] (Industrial Field of Application) The present invention relates to a coin deposit machine that deposits coins using a teller, and provides a system for detecting abnormal coins during deposit processing. Concerning an abnormal coin processing method.

(Prior art) A conventional coin deposit machine for tellers identifies and counts the deposited coins inserted into the receiving slot at the time of deposit, and holds the deposited coins in a temporary holding section. Coins are stored in a money box, and when the deposit is not approved, they are returned from the temporary holding section to the payout port using a coin return belt or the like.

In this case, if an abnormal coin is detected while identifying and counting deposited coins, it will be sent to the temporary holding section and all deposit processing will be invalidated, or only the abnormal coin will be removed. There is.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) In conventional coin deposit machines, if an abnormal coin is detected and placed in the temporary holding section, it is difficult to identify which coin is the abnormal coin even if the temporarily held coin is returned later. I couldn't tell if it was the same or not, so the staff had to visually check each one. In addition, when only abnormal coins are removed, it is difficult to remove them while they are being transported at high speed, and if the timing is off, the removal device and the coins may remain in contact with each other and get caught on the path, causing more trouble. It was the cause.

In addition, a temporary holding section is provided inside the aircraft to confirm the approval of deposits, and this temporary holding section requires a storage space, as well as a coin passageway and a coin passage for introducing coins into the temporary holding section. A storage space is required for the coin passageway to lead the coins from the temporary holding section to the money box, making the machine large. Even if the storage space is kept to a minimum, it is difficult to downsize the machine beyond a certain limit. It was hot.

The present invention was made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and even if an abnormal coin is recognized, the coin can be surely distinguished from normal coins and collected, and the coin deposit machine can be downsized. The purpose is to provide a coin processing method.

[Structure of the invention]

(Means for solving the problem) The method for handling an abnormality in a coin deposit machine according to the present invention is as follows:
The coins put into the coins are fed into the identification passage 41 in a line by the supply means 22, and the coins fed into the identification passage 41 are conveyed by the conveyor belt means 46, 47, and during the conveyance, the recognition means 55, the deposit amount is calculated by identifying the denomination, authenticity, etc., and the coins discharged from the identification passage 41 are not temporarily held in the tray 18 that is set in the machine body 1 so that they can be taken out. This coin deposit machine performs a deposit processing operation in which the coin is ejected and the deposit is confirmed by a deposit approval operation _. The abnormal coin is stopped by advancing and stopping the conveyor belt means 46 and 47, and when the resetting of the receiving tray 18 is detected, the stopper means 57 and SD ₂ are withdrawn from the identification passage 41 and the conveyor belt and means are stopped. 46,
47 is temporarily driven to eject the abnormal coin onto the receiving tray 18, and when the reset of the receiving tray 18 is detected again, the deposit processing operation is restarted.

(Function) The method for handling abnormal coins in a coin deposit machine of the present invention is that, during deposit processing, the inserted coins are identified and counted and discharged into a receiving tray, and when an abnormal coin is identified, the coin is stopped at the corresponding coin, and then the coin is placed in the receiving tray. At least the abnormal coins are discharged into the receiving tray, and then the receiving tray is replaced again to restart the deposit processing.
