It has various kinds of memory such as storing the number of coins stored in the storing and dispensing device 201 by denomination.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described.

An outline of the flow of coins is shown in the block diagram of FIG.

First, Fig. 13 for the case where the deposit mode is specified
This will be described with reference to the flowcharts (a) and (b).

After the deposit mode is specified by the operation unit 252, coins in a mixed state, for example, of multiple denominations, which are to be deposited, are batch-inserted into the supply disc 5 from the coin insertion port 2 with the shutter 4 opened, and the preparation unit.
When the start button of 252 is operated, the control device 251 causes the motor M
₁ is driven to close the coin slot 2 with the shutter 4 (step). At this time, if the shutter 4 is not closed within a predetermined time, the shutter failure flag in the memory of the control device 251 is turned on to stop the motor M _1. However, even if the shutter 4 is not closed, the soundproof effect is deteriorated. So only
Continue the deposit process (step).

On the other hand, if the dirty coin detection switch of the operating unit 252 is set to “OFF” after the deposit mode is specified by the operating unit 252 and the dirty coins are not desired to be removed, for example, the motor M ₇ is driven by a predetermined amount. By driving in the normal direction, the switching body 53 is moved to the left as shown in FIG.
The chute 51 and the return box 62 are brought into communication with each other via 54 (step). Also, turn on the dirty currency detection switch.
If it has been set to, as shown in FIG.
The bottom surface of the chute 51 is kept closed by the frame portion 56 of.

Then, the motor M ₃ of the rotating disk 8 and the motor M ₄ of the belt 15 of the discriminating passage portion 12 are reversely driven for a predetermined time, and even if the discriminating portion 19 of the discriminating passage portion 12 is clogged with coins, the belt is reversed. Scrap it out with 15 and put it back on the rotating disk 8 (step).

Thereafter, the motor M ₆ of the belt 46 of the classifying passage portion 24, the motor M ₄ of the belt 15 of the discriminating passage 12, the motor M ₃ of the rotating disc 8, respectively forward drive in the order of the motor M ₂ of the supply disk 5, deposit Start discrimination, counting, and classification of coins (step).

Then, by rotating the supply disc 5, the coins put in the supply disc 5 are supplied to the rotating disc 8 in appropriate amounts,
The coins are passed from the rotary disk 8 below the coin thickness regulating member 10 and sent to the discriminating passage portion 12 one by one. In the discriminating passage portion 12, by the discriminating means 20 of the discriminating portion 19, the coin material, diameter,
If it is determined that the coin is suitable for deposit, it is incremented by 1 in the deposit count memory for each deposit type (step).

At this time, it is determined whether or not the temporary holding section 72 is full depending on whether or not the count value of the deposit counting memory of each money type has reached the accommodation limit number of the temporary holding section 72 (for example, 500 sheets). Since the first sheet is still the first sheet, the process proceeds to the step. However, when the process continues and the count value reaches the storage limit number, an alarm is issued and the process is temporarily stopped (step). In this case, a deposit or return instruction is issued to temporarily empty the temporary holding unit 72, and then the process is restarted.

Further, when the coin determined by the determination unit 19 is determined to be a dirty coin and the dirty coin detection switch is set to “ON”, and when the coin determined by the determination unit 19 is determined to be a reject coin. , Remove the corresponding coin from the passage (step). In this case, the solenoid SD ₁ is turned on to stop the succeeding coin next to the coin to be eliminated by the stopper 28, and the solenoid SD ₂ is turned on to open the passage switching plate 26 to open the elimination port 22, and Only the motors M ₃ and M _{2 of the} rotating disk 8 and the supply disk 5 are stopped to stop the coin supply / delivery, and the solenoid SD ₃ is turned on to drop the corresponding coin into the expulsion opening 22 by the switching lever 27 (step ). Then, the motor M ₄ is stopped to stop the rotation of the belt 15, the solenoids SD ₂ and SD ₃ are turned off to return the passage switching plate 26 and the switching lever 27 to their original positions, and the belt 15 and the rotating disk are rotated. The motors M ₄ and M ₃ of 8 are reversely driven for a predetermined time to return the succeeding coin stopped by the stopper 28 from the discriminating portion 19 to the direction of the rotating disk 8 (step). Further, the motors M ₄ and M ₃ driven in reverse for a predetermined time are
When the motor stops, the motor M of the belt 46 of the sorting passage portion 24
Stop ₆ (step). The reason why the motor M ₆ is stopped is delayed so that the coins flowing earlier than the coins to be removed can be reliably sorted in the sorting passage portion 24. Then, the solenoid SD ₁ is turned off and the stopper 28 is retracted to the outside of the passage (step).

Then, it is determined whether or not the dirty coin detection switch is set to "ON" (step).

In this case, since the dirty coin detection switch is not set to "ON", the reject coin is excluded from the reject port 22, and the reject coin is the chute 51 and the switching body 53.
It is directly discharged into the return box 62 through the reject coin chute 54 (Fig. 4 (b)). Then, it is judged whether or not the return box 62 is full (this is judged from the content of the memory storing the rejected coin number, for example, 10 coins), and since it is not yet full, the process returns to the step and the process is performed. Restart (step).

When the return box 62 is full while continuing the process, an alarm is issued and the process is temporarily stopped (step). In this case, the reject coin is taken out from the return box 62 and the process is restarted.

Further, in the above step, when the dirty coin detection switch is set to “ON”, there are reject coins and dirty coins that are rejected from the rejection port 22, and those rejected coins are shot. It is retained on the frame portion 56 of the switching body 53 that closes the lower surface of 51. If the rejected coin is a reject coin (step), the motor M ₇ is normally driven to move the switching body 53 to the left as shown in FIG. After discharging to the return box 62, the motor M ₇ is reversely driven to return the switching body 53 to the original position (FIG. 4 (a) (step). After that, the return box 62 is full as described above. If it is not full, the process returns to the step. If it is full, an alarm is issued and the process is stopped (step).

When it is determined that the coins removed in the step are dirty coins, the motor M ₇ is reversely driven to move the switching body 53 to the right as shown in FIG. After storing the dirty coins in the dirty coin temporary holding section 55 of the switching body 53, the motor M ₇
Is normally driven to return the switching body 53 to the original position (step), and then it is determined whether or not the dirty coin temporary holding section 55 of the switching body 53 is full (this stores the number of dirty coins). Judging from the contents of the memory, it is set to, for example, 10 sheets. Since it is not yet full, the process returns to the step and the process is restarted (step).

When the dirty coin temporary holding section 55 of the switching body 53 is full while continuing the processing, an alarm is issued and the processing is temporarily stopped (step). In this case, a deposit or return instruction is given, and the dirty coins of the dirty coin temporary holding section 55 of the switching body 53 are transferred to the return box 63 or the storage box 64, and then the process is restarted.

Even if the discriminant unit 19 discriminates a dirty coin, if the dirty coin detection switch is set to "OFF", the deposit count memory of the corresponding denomination is incremented by 1 and the coin passage is not removed and is directly passed. Send over.

Coins that are discriminated as genuine by the discriminating unit 19 (including contaminated coins when the contaminated coin detection switch is set to "OFF")
Are sent to the sorting passage portion 24 through the passage switching portion 21, are sorted by the sorting hole 44 of the sorting passage portion 24 into the sorting type according to the coin diameter, and are held in the temporary holding portion 72 according to the sorting type. (Step).

In addition, each sensor that detects coins classified in each classification hole 44
Based on the output from 50, the number of classified coins is counted by denomination (this is called secondary counting) (step), and the output from the discriminating unit 19 and each sensor 50 is input without a predetermined time. If it is determined that the counting and classification processing of the deposited coins is completed, each motor is stopped (step). Regarding the stop timing of each motor, for example, after stopping the motor M ₂ of the supply disk 5, the motor M ₃ of the rotating disk 8 is stopped and reversed, and
The motor M _{4 of the} belt 15 is stopped and rotated in the reverse direction, the reverse rotation of the motors M ₃ and M ₄ is stopped, and then the motor M _{6 of the} belt 46 is stopped.

Although not shown in the drawing, the rotary disk 8 is provided with a level switch for detecting the amount of coins on the disk and a residual detection switch for detecting the presence or absence of residual coins. The rotation of M ₂ is controlled to adjust the amount of coins supplied from the supply disk 5 to the rotary disk 8.
Further, the output of the residual detection switch and the discriminating unit 19 or the output of the discriminating unit 19 and the output of the sensor 50 is monitored in advance to discriminate a jam of coins. When this coin jam is detected, the process is temporarily stopped and restarted, and if it is not resolved even after several attempts, an error is displayed. The output of this residual detection switch is also used as one of the elements for determining the end of the counting and classification process.

When all the deposited coins that have been inserted are classified, the number of denominations, the amount of money, the number of rejected coins, and the number of dirty coins (in the case of the dirty coin detection switch "ON") are displayed on the display unit 253 (Terra's Machine). If is connected, it is also displayed on the display part of the Terras machine).

When the operator confirms this display and there is rejected coin, pull out the return box 63 for rejected coin, take out this rejected coin and confirm it, and return the deposited coin due to reasons such as abnormal result. When instructing, operation unit
When the return button 252 (the return button of the tellers machine when the tellers machine is connected) is operated (step), the motor M ₈ of the temporary holding section 72 is driven in the forward direction by a predetermined amount to temporarily move to the right in FIG. After the holding frame 73 is moved and the held coins are discharged to the return box 76, the motor M ₈ is reversely driven to return to the original position (step). If the dirty coin detection switch is set to "ON" and even one dirty coin is stored in the dirty coin temporary holding section 55 of the switching body 53 (determined by the contents of the memory) (step), As shown in FIG. 4 (d), the motor M ₇ is driven in the forward direction to move the switching body 53 to the left, and the solenoid SD ₄ is turned on when the switching body 53 moving to the left reaches a predetermined position. By turning off and stopping the movement of the shutter 59 with the stopper body 60, only the switching body 53 is moved to the left, and the dirty coin temporary holding section
Open the bottom of the 55 and return the held dirty coins to the return box 63
Then, the solenoid SD ₄ is turned on, the motor M ₇ is reversely rotated, the switching body 53 is moved to the right, the solenoid SD ₄ is turned off at an appropriate time, and the movement of the shutter 59 is stopped by the stopper body 60. Return to the original position (step) (Fig. 4)
(a)), a series of deposit operation is completed. On the other hand, if the dirty coin detection switch is "OFF" at the step, the switching body 53 (FIG. 4 (b)) that has been moved to the left at the step is moved to the motor M ₇
It is returned to the original position on the right by reversing by a predetermined amount (step) (Fig. 4 (a)).

Then, the return box 76 is pulled out from the machine body 1 to collect the coins, and if there are dirty coins and reject coins, the return boxes 62 and 63 are pulled out and collected. In addition, this return box 62,
The 63 can be pulled out together with the fuselage 1.

On the other hand, when the operator confirms the display on the display unit 253 and there is a reject coin, the operator confirms the reject coin in the return box for the reject coin, and as a result, when instructing the receipt of coins, the operation unit 252 storage button (when the Terras machine is connected, the Terras machine storage button)
Is operated (step), the motor M of the temporary holding unit 72 is
_After reversely driving ₈ by a predetermined amount, the temporary holding frame 73 is moved to the left in FIG. 1, the held coins are discharged to the storing chute 77, and the coins are stored in the coin storing and feeding section 78 by the coin type. , The motor M ₈ is driven in the normal direction to return to the original position (step). Further, even if the dirty coin detection switch is set to "ON" and one dirty coin is present, the dirty coin temporary holding section 55 of the switching body 53
If it is stored (determined by the contents of the memory) (step), the motor M ₇ is driven in the normal direction to move the switching body 53 to the left and to the left as shown in FIG. 4 (e). When the switching body 53 that moves to a predetermined position reaches a predetermined position, the solenoid SD ₄ is turned off to stop the movement of the shutter 59 by the stopper body 60, so that only the switching body 53 is moved to the left and the dirty coin temporary storage unit is held. The bottom surface of 55 is opened and the retained dirty coins are discharged to the storage box 64. Then, the solenoid SD ₄ is turned on and the motor M ₇ is rotated in the reverse direction to move the switching body 53 to the right, at an appropriate time. Turn off solenoid SD ₄ and set stopper body 6
At 0, the movement of the shutter 59 is stopped, and the shutter 59 is returned to the original position (step) (FIG. 4 (a)) (since it is not in the deposit control mode (step)), the series of deposit operation is finished as it is. If the dirty coin detection switch is "OFF", the switching body 53 (FIG. 4 (b)), which has been moved to the left in step, is returned to the original position to the right by the motor M ₇ rotating backward by a predetermined amount. (Step) (Fig. 4 (a)).

After each motor stops in step, if there is a reject coin, pull out the return box 62 and collect it, and perform the deposit process again. Before operating the storage button 252 (or the storage button of the Tera's machine when the Tera's machine is connected), data is manually input and then the storage button is operated. In this case, the manually input coins may be stored in an appropriate place inside or outside the device.

Next, Fig. 13 for the case when the deposit adjustment mode is specified
This will be described with reference to the flowchart of (c).

When deposit adjustment mode is specified, when depositing,
When the coins held by the temporary holding unit 72 are stored in the coin-type coin storing and feeding unit 78, the coin-type coin storing and feeding unit
Check the number of coins (including the number of coins deposited this time) stored in each storing and delivering cassette 79 for each of the 78 gold types. The generated coins are fed from the storing and feeding cassette 79 and separately stored as packaged coins. This operation will be described below.

It is determined whether or not there is at least one storage / delivery cassette 79 in which the number of sheets including the current storage amount has reached a predetermined amount, for example, 500 sheets or more, and if not, the process ends as it is even in the deposit arrangement mode (step ). If there is even one storage operation cassette 79 that stores a predetermined amount or more, first, one denomination to be fed out and packaged is determined (step).
This determination method may be performed based on a predetermined denomination order or may be performed in descending order of the storage amount, and the remaining coins stored in the coin-roll storing / dispensing device 201 may remain. You may start with a denomination with a small amount.

When the denomination is determined, the delivery of coins from the storage delivery cassette 79 of the relevant denomination and the packaging of coins are performed in parallel at the same time. First, the delivery will be described. The motors M ₉ and M ₁₀ are driven to turn on the solenoid SD ₅ of the storing and feeding cassette 79 of the corresponding denomination, and the stopper 8
6 is retracted, the motor M ₁₁ is driven, the coins in the storage space 80 are fed out one by one from the feeding portion 81 by the feeding belt 83, and the fed coins are counted by the sensor 85 (step). The coins fed out from the storage operation cassette 79 are transferred to the receiving section 92 of the packaging device 91 via the transfer conveyors 87 and 88.
Transport to.

At this time, the number of coin packaging units in the packaging device 91 is, for example,
Since it is a unit of 50 sheets, the amount of delivery from the storage and delivery cassette 79 under the control of the control device 251 is set to an integral multiple of the number of packaging units (since the packaging speed is faster than the delivery speed, the delivery is temporarily stopped at 50 sheets. It is performed continuously without doing),
Then, at the time when 50 coin units are delivered, for example, when the remaining amount of coins in the storing and delivering cassette 79 is 100 or less, the delivering operation is stopped (step). To stop the feeding operation, the solenoid SD ₅ is turned off, the coin fed to the feeding portion 81 by the feeding belt 83 after the packing unit is returned to the storage space 80 by the stopper 86, and the motor M ₁₁ is stopped. And feeding belt
The motors M ₉ and M ₁₀ are turned on after the rotation of 83 is stopped and a sufficient time is taken for all the coins delivered from the storage delivery cassette 79 to be delivered to the receiving section 92 by the transport conveyors 87 and 88. The operation is stopped, and the feeding operation from the storage and feeding cassette 79 of one denomination is completed (step).

The feeding operation of the storage / feeding cassette 79 may be stopped at the time when a predetermined amount (for example, 400 sheets) is uniformly fed regardless of the remaining amount.

On the other hand, regarding packaging, first, according to the denomination determined in step by driving the motor M ₁₃ , for example, the passage width of the counting passage portion 97, the width of the belt cylinder 107 of the stacking portion 106, and the wrapping roller 114. Adjust the interval, etc. (step). Then,
The motor M ₁₂ of the rotating disk 93 of the receiving portion 92 and the motor M ₁₄ of the belt 100 of the counting passage portion 97 are driven to pass from the rotating disk 93 under the coin thickness regulating member 95 to the counting passage portion 97 one by one. Send (step). The coins sent to the counting passage portion 97 are transferred to the passage switching plate 1 whose solenoid SD ₆ is in the off state.
After passing over 03, the passages are detected by the sensors 104a and 104b, counted (step), further discharged to the stacking unit 106, and stacked on the belt cylinder 107. When the sensor 104a counts the 50th packaging unit, the solenoid SD ₇ is turned on and the stopper 105 stops the coins on and after the 51st, so that the rotating disc 9
The motor M _{12 of} 3 and the motor M _{14 of the} belt 100 are stopped (at this time, the payout of the coins from the storage payout cassette 79 is continued during this time), and the packing of 50 stacked coins is performed. Move to processing (step). The solenoid SD ₇ of the stopper 105 is activated by the detection output from the sensor 104a on the upstream side of the counting passage portion 97, and the sensor 10 on the downstream side is activated.
The number of coins actually sent to the belt cylinder 107 is checked by 4b.

In the packaging process (step), the control of each packaging mechanism is performed by the rotation of the cam line shaft 122, and with the start of the rotation of the cam line shaft 122, the guide rod 113 is moved to the belt cylinder 107.
Move to the lower surface of the stack and receive the stacked coins by opening the shutter 111, and the guide rod 113 descends to bring the stacked coins between the wrapping rollers 114, and the intervals between the plurality of wrapping rollers 114 are narrowed and stacked. The coin is sandwiched and rotated, and the wrapping paper 115 is supplied from the wrapping paper supply unit 117 between the wrapping rollers 114 and wrapped around the stacked coins, and the wrapping paper 115 is cut into a predetermined length by a cutter, Further, the upper and lower edges of the wrapping paper 115 wound around the stacked coins by the catch hooks 116 are wound around the end faces of the stacked coins and stopped. Then, the catch hook 116 and the guide rod 113
Are retracted and the space between the wrapping rollers 114 is widened, so that the wrapped coins, that is, coin bars are discharged.

Further, at the time of this packaging, coins that fall due to collapsed stacks enter the coin bar chute 125, and the shutter 128, chute 127 that is in the state of entering the coin bar chute 125,
It is stored in a storage box 131 which cannot be freely taken out from the machine body 1 through the shutter 129 and the guide chute 130.

In the case of an ordinary packaging machine, when the stacking coins are moved down from the belt cylinder and the shutter on the lower surface of the belt cylinder is closed, the counting and stacking operation of the next 50 sheets is started. Since the coin feeding speed from the cassette 79 is slow, the next counting and multiplying operation is not started until the camline shaft 122 makes one rotation to the home position and returns. When the counting is restarted, the counting memory is cleared to 0.

Then, when the cam line shaft 122 returns to the home position, the stopper 1
The solenoid SD ₇ of 05 is turned off, the process returns to the step, and the counting and multiplying operation is restarted (step). It should be noted that, for example, it takes about 3 seconds for counting, and about 3 seconds for the camline shaft 122 to return to the home position after the counting is stopped.

Immediately before the coin bar is discharged from between the packaging rollers 114,
The solenoid SD ₉ is turned on for a predetermined time to retract the shutter 128 from the coin-roll chute 125 and guide the discharged coin-roll to the discharge port 126 of the coin-roll chute 125.

The coin bar guided to the discharge port 126 of the coin bar chute 125 is stopped by the step stopper 138 and is placed on the receiving plate 137, and the weight detector 136.
Check the weight of the coin bar, that is, the weight of 50 coins, and detect the abnormal weight of 49 coins, 51 coins, etc. (Step). That is, the coin-package lifts 142 and the conveyor 157 are used to store the coins in the abnormal wrapping coin compartments that are separately provided inside the receiving box 162. If it is determined by the weight detector 136 that there is no abnormality, and if the coin-roll storage in the machine is not set separately, the coin-roll dispenser 139 is connected to the outside of the machine body 1 via the passage switching plate 140. It is stored in the coin-roll receiving box 141 that can be freely withdrawn (step). Further, when the coin-roll storage in the machine is separately set, after the coin-roll sent out from the receiving plate 137 is stored in the bucket 145 of the coin-roll lift 142, the motor M ₂₀ is driven to rotate normally. While carrying the coin bar upward (after transporting the coin bar, the motor M ₂₀ is reversed to return), and the motor M
It is stored in the coin-roll storing / discharging device 201 via the conveyor 157 driven by ₂₁ and the switching member 158 (step).
At this time, if the coin-roll storing / discharging device 201 is not connected, the coin-roll storing / discharging device 201 is collectively stored in the receiving box 162 (step).

When the count value does not reach 50 even when the motor M ₁₁ of the storage / delivery cassette 79 has finished feeding a predetermined amount of coins and stopped, and the packaging device 91 waits for a predetermined time, the count value does not reach 50, for example. When one or two coins are missing in the package due to an abnormality, the motors M ₉ and M ₁₀ of the conveyors 87 and 88 are driven again, the solenoid SD _{5 of the} stopper 86 is turned on, and the feeding belt 83 The motor M ₁₁ is driven to additionally pay out the coins corresponding to the shortage, and the packaging is completed (step). Further, when the count value does not become 50 and, for example, one extra sheet is fed out and there is a shortage of 49 sheets, the removing operation is performed after a predetermined time has elapsed (step). This is to open the shutter 111 under the belt cylinder 107 to rotate the belt cylinder 107, eject the coins in the belt cylinder 107 downward, and to insert the shutter 128 into the coin-roll chute 125.
The chute 127, the shutter 129, and the guide chute 130 are removed and stored in a storage box 131 that cannot be freely taken out from the machine body 1.

After finishing the arrangement of one denomination, it is judged whether all the denominations to be sorted out are finished, and when there is no other denomination to be sorted out, it ends. If there is, return to the step, determine the denomination to be sorted next, and then sort in the same manner (step).

In this deposit mode, the next deposit mode or deposit mode can be processed when the deposit of the deposited coins that have been put in and temporarily held is completed (when the step is completed). . That is, when the receipt and storage of the deposited coins are completed, for example, the storage and delivery cassette 79 of a certain denomination has reached a predetermined number, so that the storage and delivery cassette is
Even if the coin-roll forming operation of feeding out coins from 79 and wrapping them with the wrapping device 91 is started, if there is a deposit command operation at that time,
A series of depositing operations of receiving, counting, sorting, temporarily holding, returning or storing the deposited coins can be performed in parallel.
On the contrary, in the deposit mode and the deposit arrangement mode in which the coin-roll forming operation has not been started, when a series of deposit operations of acceptance counting, temporary holding, returning, or storing of deposited coins are being performed, Withdrawal mode processing can be performed simultaneously in parallel. Further, if there is a dispensing command operation during the coin-roll forming operation, the dispensing of coins from the storing and dispensing cassette 79 is immediately stopped, and the already dispensed coins reach an area where there is no obstacle to dispensing. At the time, for example, when the sensors 104a and 104b of the counting passage unit 97 detect, the dispensing operation may be started, or at the time when the number of packaging units in the packaging device 91, that is, the 50th sheet is reached. It is also possible to stop the feeding and start the withdrawal operation when the coin reaches the area where there is no obstacle to the withdrawal, and complete the packaging of the stacked coins in the course of packaging with the packaging device 91. next,
The case where the direct packaging mode is designated will be described with reference to the flowchart in FIG.

This mode is performed on the basis of an input command for direct packaging mode designation and denomination designation, and processing is performed simultaneously on the coin supply side and the packaging side. First, the coin supply side will be described.

First, the motor M ₅ of the passage switching unit 21 is driven by a predetermined amount to switch and move the passage switching plate 29 so that coins flow to the direct delivery unit 23, and the motor M ₇ is driven by a predetermined amount in the forward direction to switch. The body 53 is moved to the left as shown in FIG. 4 (b), and all rejected coins and dirty coins (when the dirty coin detection switch is “ON”) discharged from the outlet 22 are discharged to the return box 62. (Step)

Then, the motor M ₄ of the belt 15, the motor M ₃ of the rotating disc 8, driven in the order of the motor M ₂ of the supply disk 5 (at this time,
The motor M ₆ of the belt 46 of the sorting passage portion 24 is reversed to prevent coins from entering the sorting passage portion 24) and the coins inserted from the coin slot 2 are sent to the determination passage portion 12 one by one. Then, the discriminating portion 19 of the discriminating passage portion 12 discriminates and counts coins (step).

Then, whether all the coins have been supplied from the coin supply side to the packaging side is determined by the output of the residual detection switch, the output of the determination unit 19, etc., but since it is not yet finished, proceed to the next step, the determination unit 19 If it is determined that the coin is not a coin of the pre-designated denomination (including the coin of the denomination that has been determined to be dirty when the stain detection switch is "ON"), the elimination operation described in the deposit mode is not performed at all. The reject operation is performed by the same operation, and the removed coins are stored in the return box 62 (step). When the return box 62 is full, an alarm is issued and the operation is stopped as in the deposit mode (step).

When the discriminating unit 19 discriminates the coin of the designated denomination, the counting memory is incremented by 1, and the coin is conveyed as it is and sent from the direct sending unit 23 to the receiving unit 92 of the packaging device 91. Also,
Judge whether the value of the counting memory is less than 300, if it is less than 300, determine whether it is 300, and the value of the counting memory is 3
When 00 is reached, the motor M ₃ of the rotating disc 8, to stop the motor M ₂ of the supply disk 5 (continued driving motor M ₄ of the belt 15), once it stops transmission to the coin packaging device 91 in 300 pieces strong (Step). This is because the delivery amount from the rotary disk 8 is larger than the packaging processing amount in the packaging device 91, and therefore it is necessary to temporarily stop the supply side. Then, when five coins are formed in the packaging device 91, the motors M ₃ and M ₂ are driven again to restart the coin delivery (step), and continue the discrimination and counting (step). If the value in the counting memory exceeds 300, the motors M ₃ and M ₂ are stopped in 250 units (500, 800, 1050 ... From the start of the system number) (step).

When no coins are left on the supply side in the step (judgment is made in the same manner as in the deposit mode), the motors are stopped, and the motors M ₅ and M ₇ are driven to move the passage switching plate 29 and the switching body 53. The original position is restored, and the supply side ends (step).

On the other hand, on the packaging side, substantially the same operation as in the deposit arrangement mode is performed. That is, each packaging mechanism is adjusted by the motor M _{13 according} to the designated denomination, and the motors M ₁₂ and M ₁₄ are driven to send coins from the rotating disk 93 to the counting passage portion 97 one by one, and the counting passage portion is The sensors 104a and 104b of 97 count and stack them on the belt cylinder 107 (step). By the way, 5
When counting 0 sheets, solenoid SD ₇ is turned on and motors M ₁₂ , M
_{Although the} counting operation is once stopped by stopping ₁₄ , the counting operation is restarted not by returning the cam line shaft 122 to the fixed position as in the deposit arrangement mode, but by stacking coins from the belt cylinder 107 to between the packaging rollers 144. The shutter 11 on the bottom of the belt cylinder 107
When 1 is closed, turn off solenoid SD ₇ and return to the step. Is the same as. In the direct packaging, the packaged coin is usually taken out to the coin box 141 of the coin machine 139,
For example, in the case of replenishment, it is stored in the coin-roll storing / discharging device 201.

Further, when the fractional coin is removed when a predetermined time has elapsed after the motor M ₄ of the belt 15 on the coin supply side is stopped, the rejected coins from the belt cylinder 107 are stored in the storage box 1 in the deposit arrangement mode.
A return box that can be freely pulled out of the fuselage 1 by a shutter 129 that can be switched by turning on the solenoid SD ₁₀ instead of 31 Coins that are stacked and fall during packaging are also guided to the return box 133.

Next, a case where the counting bag collecting mode (direct counting mode) is designated will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

In this counting bag taking mode, the coins designated for the denomination among the coins put in the machine are counted and taken out to the bag 193 attached to the bag taking unit 192, and the inserted coins are directly counted and counted. The operations of the coin counting and supplying side that leads to the receiving section 92 through the sending section 23 and the coin sending side that sends the counted coins to the bag collecting section 192 are performed simultaneously.

Steps up to in direct packaging mode It is determined whether or not The number of butts is the number of coins to be bagged.For example, if the counting number is set to 2000 in advance, when the discriminating unit 19 counts 2000, the solenoid SD ₁ is turned on and the stopper 28 is set to 2001. Stop the subsequent coins after the first one, and stop the motors M ₃ , M ₂ and M ₄ in order with sufficient time until the coins are sent to the coin sending side, and reverse the motors M ₄ , M ₃ for a predetermined time. Let 2000 coins sent from the side through the bag collecting unit 192 are bags 1
It is stored in 93.

Then, replaced with a new bag 193 by removing the bag 193 housing the coins from Fukuroto section 192, if the operation of the start button, the solenoid SD ₁ of the stopper 28 When the stop button of is operated, the coins remaining on the coin counting supply side are returned to the bag collecting unit 192 as described above, or returned to the withdrawal box 187 as in the withdrawal mode described later. To do.

Further, when the difference between the count value of the discriminating unit 19 and the count value (secondary count) of the coin sending side sensor 101, which will be described later, reaches a predetermined amount, for example, 200 or more, the motor M ₃ of the rotating disk 8 and the supply The motor M _{2 of the} disk 5 is stopped to temporarily stop the delivery of coins from the coin counting supply side to the coin delivery side, and if the difference becomes less than a predetermined value, for example less than 100, those motors M ₃ , As described above, the delivery amount of the rotary disk 8 is 93
This is because it is larger than the amount sent from.

When you run out of coins (judged as in deposit mode),
The respective motors are stopped, and the motors M ₅ and M ₇ are driven to return the passage switching plate 29 and the switching body 53 to the original positions, and the coin counting supply side is completed. On the other hand, on the coin sending side, the solenoid SD ₆ is turned on to open the passage switching plate 103 of the counting passage portion 97 to open the branch port 102, and the motor M ₁₂ is driven to rotate the rotary disc 93, and this rotation is performed. The coin fed from the coin counting supply side onto the disc 93 is sent out from the rotating disc 93 to the counting passage portion 97 and is dropped to the supply disc 172 of the coin dispensing device 171 at the branch port 102. Therefore, the supply disc 172 and the holding disc 176 also rotate, and
By turning on the solenoid SD ₁₄ to move the movable wall 178b outward, and turning on the solenoid SD _{15 of the} shutter 189, coins branched and dropped at the branch opening 102 are supplied.
72, holding disk 176, discharge port 185b, chute 188, shutter
189, through chute 190 into bag 193 of bag catcher 192 It should be noted that when the coins are sent from the rotating disk 93 to the counting passage portion 97 one by one, the sensor 101 And when the count of coins is interrupted for a predetermined time It is determined whether the secondary count value matches the value (step Turn off each solenoid to finish bag collection (step In addition, in the direct counting mode, in addition to bagging a predetermined number of coins of one denomination as described above, counting the number of coins of all denominations of multi-denomination mixed coins for each denomination, and outputting coins after counting Gold box 18
You may take out in 7 batches.

Next, the case where the dispensing mode for loose coins is designated will be described with reference to the flowchart in FIG.

In this mode, coins sent from the coin type coin storing and delivering section 78 to the receiving section 92 based on a withdrawal command from the operation unit 252 (or a withdrawal command from the Tera's machine when the Tera's machine is connected). The delivering operation and the delivering operation from the receiving unit 92 to the withdrawal temporary holding unit 175 are performed in parallel.

The coin feeding operation from the coin type coin storing and feeding section 78 is performed by driving the motors M ₉ and M ₁₀ of the conveyors 87 and 88, and then turning on the solenoid SD ₅ that retracts the stopper 86 of the storing and feeding cassette 79 of plural denominations. Motor M _{11 for} feeding belt 83
Drive the coins and simultaneously dispense coins from their respective storage and dispensing cassettes 79. When there are 4 denominations at the same time, the denominations may be fed out separately for every 3 denominations, and when the amount of feed is small, all denominations may be fed out simultaneously. In addition, the sensor 85 is used when the coins are fed out from each storage feeding cassette 79. When the count value of the sensor 85 in the storage / feed cassette 79 of a certain denomination matches the set value of the number of fed denominations, the solenoid SD _{5 of the} stopper 86 is turned off and the motor M ₁₁ of the feeding belt 83 is stopped.
