Description

Description: TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a coin processing device having a coin payout function for change and the like used in a vending machine, a money changing machine, or the like, and particularly to a main storage With a sub-reservoir.

[Conventional technology]

In a coin processing device having a coin payout function for change or the like, it is possible to automatically replenish the inserted coins of the predetermined denomination and pay out a specified number of coins from the stored coins. It is conventionally known that some have a main storage unit (main tube) and a sub-storage unit (auxiliary tube) that does not automatically replenish charged coins and has only a dispensing function. In such a conventional coin storage device, normally, coins for change or the like are exclusively dispensed from the main tube, and when the stored coins in the main tube are insufficient, the coin dispensing tube is switched to the auxiliary tube to replace the auxiliary tube. I try to pay it out from.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention]

Therefore, in the conventional one, even if coins of the same denomination are stored in the main tube and the auxiliary tube, only one tube is dispensed at the same time, so it takes time to dispense coins such as change. , There was a problem.

The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and an object thereof is to provide a coin processing device capable of shortening the payout time of coins such as change.

[Means for solving the problem]

The coin processing device according to the present invention stores coins of a predetermined denomination, automatically supplies the inserted coins of the predetermined denomination, and stores a designated number of coins from the stored coins. A main storage unit capable of paying out, which stores coins of the predetermined denomination, capable of paying out a specified number of coins from the stored coins, A sub-storage unit that performs a payout operation independently of a payout operation, an allocation unit that divides the number of coins to be paid out with the predetermined denomination, and allocates the coins to the main storage unit and the sub-storage unit, respectively. Main payout control means for paying out the number of coins allocated to the storage part from the main storage part, and payout from the sub storage part for the number of coins allocated to the sub storage part by the allocation means. Prepayment When the payout control means and the payout of one of the main storage unit and the sub-storage unit are completed first, the remaining number of the payout number allocated to the other is further divided, and the main storage unit and the sub-storage unit are respectively re-submitted. Allocating and reallocating means for controlling the payout of the reassigned number by the main payout control means and the subpayout control means, respectively, so that coins can be paid out in parallel from the main storage section and the substorage section. It is characterized by having done.

This is shown in FIG. 1 as shown in FIG. 1, where 1 is a main storage unit, 2 is a sub storage unit, 3 is an allocation unit, 4 is a main payout control unit, 5 is a subpayout control unit, and 6 is a reallocation unit. ,.

[Action]

The allocating unit divides the number of coins to be paid out in a predetermined denomination among the coins to be paid out as change, and allocates the divided coins to the main storage unit and the sub storage unit, respectively. For example, if the number of coins to be paid out in a predetermined denomination is a, then a is divided into b and c so that a = b + c (this may be divided into two equal parts, but of course it is not limited to two equal parts). No), the number of coins to be paid out in the main storage section is b, the number of coins to be paid out in the sub storage section is c, and so on. By the control of the main payout control means, coins of the number b assigned to the main storage unit are paid out from the main storage unit. Further, under the control of the sub-payout control means, the coins of the number c assigned to the sub-storage are paid out from the sub-storage. Since the sub-storing unit performs the dispensing operation independently of the dispensing operation of the main storage unit, coins can be dispensed simultaneously from the main storage unit and the sub-storage unit in parallel. Thereby, the payout time of coins such as change can be shortened.

By the way, due to the difference in the structure of the payout mechanism and other reasons, the payout speeds of the main storage part and the sub storage part are often different. Therefore, the main storage part and the sub-storage part do not often finish paying out the numbers b and c respectively assigned to them, and one of them often finishes paying out first. A reallocating means may be provided in preparation for such a case. When the payout of one of the main storage unit and the sub-storage unit is completed first, the re-allocating means further divides the remaining number of payout numbers allocated to the other, and re-allocates the main storage unit and the sub-storage unit respectively. To do. For example, when the payout of the main storage unit is completed first, the sub-storage unit stores d
It is assumed that the payout of the sheets is completed and the payout of e sheets remains (however, c = d + e). In that case, the reassignment means divides e into f and g (where e = f + g), and reassigns f to the main storage unit and g to the sub storage unit. According to this reallocation, the main storage unit and the sub-storage unit perform payout respectively. By doing so, the payout time of coins such as change can be further shortened. Note that the reassignment process by the reassigning means and the coin payout process based on the reassignment process may be repeated until all the required number of coins are finally paid out.

〔Example〕

An embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 2 is a schematic view showing an example of a mechanical portion of a coin changer 10 to which the present invention is applied, and FIG. 3 is a hardware configuration block diagram showing an embodiment of a control circuit device mounted on the coin changer 10. . Coin changer 10
Includes a coin sorter 11, a main coin storage unit 12, a main coin payout mechanism 13, a sub coin storage unit 14, a sub coin payout mechanism 15, and a control circuit device shown in FIG. I'm out.
The coin sorter 11 discriminates the authenticity of the input coins, mechanically sorts the genuine coins and the false coins, guides the false coins to the return passage 16, and mechanically sorts the genuine coins by denomination. The main coin storage unit 12 includes coin tubes A, B, C of different denominations and a coin holding unit D, and coins of the denomination sorted by the coin sorter 11 correspond to the coin tubes A. , B, C or coin holding section D. The coin tubes A, B, C are for stacking coins by laying them sideways and storing them, and can store a relatively large number of coins. The coin holding section D stores coins vertically or diagonally stacked and stores a relatively small number of coins. For example, coin tube A
It corresponds to 10-yen coins, B corresponds to 50-yen coins, C corresponds to 100-yen coins, and coin holding section D corresponds to 500-yen coins.
Of course, the present invention is not limited to this, and each coin tube A, B, C or coin holding section D may be compatible with other denominations, or a plurality of coin tubes A, B, C or coin holding sections D are the same. May correspond to the seed. The main coin dispensing mechanism 13 is a coin tube
It includes a payout mechanism 13a for selectively paying out coins from any one of A, B, and C and a payout mechanism 13b for paying out coins from the coin holding section D.

The sub coin storage unit 14 does not automatically supply input coins, and exclusively dispenses coins stored by manual supply. In the case of this example, the sub coin storage unit 14 includes two coin tubes E and F. In each coin tube E, F, coins are laid sideways and stacked for storage as described above. For example, coin tube E corresponds to 10 yen coin, and F is 100
Corresponds to yen coins. Of course, not limited to this, each coin tube E, F may correspond to other denominations, or a plurality of coin tubes E, F may correspond to the same denomination. The sub coin payout mechanism 15 is for selectively paying out coins from one of the coin tubes E and F.

Of course, as is known, each coin tube AF
Which denomination is set corresponding to the denomination can be determined by switch setting, data, or the like. Hereinafter, A, B and C are referred to as main tubes, and E and F are referred to as sub tubes.

Each coin payout mechanism 13a, 13b, 15 has a separate payout driving unit, and each payout operation is possible independently.

The coin sorter 11 may include an electronic input coin sensor 11a. The coin sensor 11a has a function of electronically discriminating the authenticity of the inserted coin. Coin sorter 11
Then, according to this determination, the fake coin and the true coin are mechanically sorted. Further, denomination insertion coin sensors 17a to 17d are provided to detect coins guided from the coin sorter 11 to the main coin storage unit 12 by denomination and generate an insertion coin detection signal. It should be noted that, instead of the coin-type input coin sensors 17a to 17d, the coin type of the inserted coin may be determined based on the output of the coin sensor 11a, and the coin-type inserted coin detection signal may be generated. Further, payout coin sensors 18, 19, 20 may be provided to detect the coins paid out by the coin payout mechanisms 13a, 13b, 15. Coin sensors (17a to 17d, 18, 19, 20 and the like) other than the electronic insertion coin sensor 11a may have only a function of detecting passage of coins.

The inserted coins are sorted by the coin sorter 11 and once guided to be stored in the main coin storage unit 12,
When coins are fully stored in the coin storage unit 12 of the corresponding denomination, as is well known, the coins overflow and are guided to a safe (not shown).

Further, as is generally known, an empty sensor may be provided in association with each coin tube for detecting that the coin storage amount has become equal to or less than a predetermined shortage amount. Further, instead of or in addition to the empty sensor, an empty counter for counting the amount of stored coins may be provided.

Next, an embodiment of the control circuit device will be described with reference to FIG. In this control circuit device, various processes are controlled by the microcomputer 21.
Coin sensor 17a to 17d according to denomination, coin sensor 18 and 1 to be paid out
The output of 9, 20, etc. is transmitted via the bus 22 to the microcomputer 21.
Is input to In addition, the coin dispensing mechanism 13
Coin payout command signals are given to a, 13b, and 15, respectively.

The output interface 23 is for transmitting display data, a sellable signal, and other data to the price display 24, a sales circuit (not shown), and the like.

The input interface 25 is for receiving a product selection signal and other data from a sales circuit or the like.

Next, an embodiment of a process relating to the payout of coins for change or the like particularly related to the present invention among various processes executed under the control of the microcomputer 21 will be described based on the flowcharts of FIG. 4 and thereafter. .

FIG. 4 shows the main routine of the change dispensing process. First, in step 30, the amount of change to be paid out is classified by denomination. Then, the number of coins to be paid out with 10 yen coins is stored in the register KAN, the number of coins to be paid out with 50 yen coins is stored in the register KBN, and the number of coins to be paid out with 100 yen coins is stored in the register KCN.

Next, the denomination allocation subroutines 31, 32, and 33 are sequentially executed. In each allocation subroutine 31, 32, 33, a process of dividing the number of coins to be paid out with a predetermined denomination corresponding to each and allocating the coins to the main tubes A, B, C and the sub tubes E, F is performed.

A detailed example of the 100-yen allocation subroutine 31 will be described with reference to FIG. Here, register A1 that stores the number of sheets allocated to the main tube for 100 yen,
A register B1 that stores the number of coins allocated to the sub-tube for 100 yen and an empty counter RCN that counts the amount of coins stored in the main tube for 100 yen are used.

First, in step 34, it is checked whether the value of the 100-yen coin payout number register KCN is larger than 0, that is, whether or not there is a 100-yen coin to be paid out. If so, go to step 35, but if not, return to the main routine. In step 35, it is checked whether any of the sub-tubes E and F is set for storing 100-yen coins. If any of the sub-tubes E and F is set for storing 100-yen coins, the process proceeds to step 36, and it is checked whether or not there is an error regarding the payout operation of the sub-tube set for storing 100-yen coins. As is known, an error is detected during a sub-tube dispensing operation, and if there is an error, the error is stored.
In this step 36, it is checked whether or not the error is stored.

If there is no error in the payout operation of the sub tube set for storing 100 yen coins, step 37
Go to, divide the 100 yen coin payout number stored in the 100 yen coin payout number register KCN into two, and allocate them to the main tube and sub-tube respectively. That is, the content of the register KCN is divided by 2, and the integer value is stored in the 100-yen sub-tube allocation number register B1 (B1 = INT (K
CN / 2)). Then, from the contents of register KCN to register B1
And store it in the 100-yen main tube allocation quantity register A1 (A1 = KCN-B1). Thus, the payout number of 100-yen coins allocated to the main tube is stored in the register A1, and the payout number of 100-yen coins allocated to the sub tube is stored in the register B1.

In the next step 38, the 10 assigned to the main tube
The number of 0 yen coins paid out, that is, the contents of register A1, is 100
Find out if it is greater than the contents of the Circle Main Tube Empty Counter RCN. If it is not large, it means that the number of sheets indicated by the register A1 can be paid out according to the current number of stored sheets in the main tube for 100 yen, so this subroutine is finished and the process returns to the main routine. If it is large, it means that the number indicated by the register A1 cannot be paid out, depending on the current number of stored sheets in the main tube for 100 yen, so the procedure goes to step 39 to change the allocation. In step 39, the contents of the 100 yen main tube allocated number register A1 are matched with the contents of the 100 yen main tube empty counter RCN (A1 = RCN), and then the contents of the 100 yen coin payout number register KCN are registered. The new contents of A1 are subtracted, and the result is stored in the 100-yen sub-tube allocation number register B1 (B1 = KCN-A1). Then, this subroutine is terminated and the process returns to the main routine.

On the other hand, if none of the sub-tubes E and F is set for storing 100-yen coins (if step 35 is NO),
Alternatively, if there is an error regarding the payout operation of the sub tube set for storing 100 yen coins (when step 36 is YES), go to step 40 and assign the contents of the 100 yen coin payout number register KCN to the 100 yen main tube. The process of assigning only to the number register A1 is performed. That is, 100 yen main tube allocation number register A1
Is performed (A1 = KCN) to match the contents of the 100 yen coin payout number register KCN, and then the contents of the 100 yen subtube allocated number register B1 are reset to 0 (B1 = KCN).
0). Then, this subroutine is terminated and the process returns to the main routine.

Next, the 50 yen allocation subroutine 32 is executed. A detailed example of the 50 yen allocation subroutine 32 is shown in FIG. Here, register A2 stores the number allocated to the main tube for 50 yen, and register B2 stores the number allocated to the sub tube for 50 yen.
And an empty counter RBN that counts the amount of coins stored in the main tube for 50 yen. The contents of the processing are the same as in Fig. 5, and A1, B1, RCN, KCN in Fig. 5
But each 50 yen main tube allocation number register A
2,50 yen Sub tube allotment number register B 2,50 yen Main tube empty counter RBN, 50 yen coin payout number register KBN is the only difference.
Therefore, under a predetermined condition, the contents of the 50 yen coin payout number register KBN are divided into two, which are allocated to the 50 yen main tube allocation number register A2 and the 50 yen sub tube allocation number register B2, respectively. As mentioned above,
If none of the sub-tubes E and F is set for storing 50-yen coins, the contents of the 50-yen coin payout number register KBN are stored as they are in the 50-yen main tube assigned number register A2.

Next, the 10-yen allocation subroutine 33 is executed. A detailed example of the 10-yen allocation subroutine 33 is shown in FIG. Here, register A3 stores the number allocated to the main tube for 10 yen, and register B3 stores the number allocated to the sub tube for 10 yen.
And an empty counter RAN that counts the amount of coins stored in the main tube for 10 yen. The contents of the processing are the same as in Fig. 5, and A1, B1, RCN, KCN in Fig. 5
But each 10 yen main tube allocation number register A
3,10 yen Sub tube allocation number register B 3,10 yen Main tube empty counter RAN, 10 yen coin payout number register KAN is the only difference.
Therefore, under a predetermined condition, the contents of the 10-yen coin payout number register KAN are divided into two, which are respectively allocated to the 10-yen main tube allocation number register A3 and the 10-yen sub tube allocation number register B3.

Returning to the main routine of FIG. 4, when the above-mentioned allocation subroutines 31, 32, 33 are completed, the main / sub payout control routine 41 is executed. Here, the operation of the main coin dispensing mechanism 13a is controlled on the basis of the contents of the respective main tube allocation number registers A1 to A3, and only the number indicated by the respective registers A1 to A3 from the corresponding main tubes A, B, C is controlled. Perform the process of paying out coins respectively. At the same time,
In parallel with this, each sub tube allocation number register
The operation of the sub coin dispensing mechanism 15 is controlled based on the contents of B1 to B3, and the corresponding sub tubes E and F are connected to the respective registers B1.
The process of paying out coins by the number indicated by ~ B3 is performed. The contents of the registers A1 to A3 and B1 to B3 are decremented by 1 each time one coin is paid out from the corresponding coin tubes A to F.

In step 42, it is checked whether or not the coin payout from the main tubes A, B, C has been completed. In this embodiment, it is assumed that the payout speed of the main tubes A, B, C is faster than that of the subtubes E, F.
It is assumed that C will end the payout first.
When the payout of coins from the main tubes A, B, C is completed, the reassignment routine 43 is performed.

The reassignment routine 43 further divides the contents of the subtube assigned number registers B1 to B3 (this indicates the remaining number of payouts) and reassigns them to the main tubes and subtubes.

A detailed example of the reallocation routine 43 will be described with reference to FIGS. 8 (a) and 8 (b).
Then, it is checked whether or not the contents of the sub tube allocation number registers B1 to B3 are all 0. If all are 0, the change payout has been completed, so this reassignment routine is terminated, a predetermined error detection process is performed, and then the process returns to the standby state. If all are not 0, the change payment has not been completed yet, so the processing proceeds to step 46 and continues.

In step 46, it is checked whether or not all sub-tube defective flags SUBNG are set to "1". This flag SUBNG
Is set to "1" when it is determined by an error detection process (not shown) that all the sub-tubes are out of order or malfunction. If the flag SUBNG is set to "1", it is impossible to pay out from the subtube, so go to step 47 and set the contents of each register B1, B2, B3 to the corresponding main tube allocation number register A1 ~ A3
To replace (A1 = B1, A2 = B2, A3 = B3, B1 =
0, B2 = 0, B3 = 0), end this reassignment routine,
The process moves to the main / sub payout control routine 44 (Fig. 4).

If flag SUBNG is not set to "1", go to step 48 to continue this reassignment routine.
In step 48, it is checked whether or not the sub-tube is in the payout operation. If the subtube is in the payout operation, the process waits until the operation is completed. If the dispensing operation is not in progress, go to step 49 and B1
= 0, that is, whether 100 coins remain to be paid out.

If you have 100 yen coins left to pay,
Go to step 50 and check if the "100 yen main only permission flag" is set to "1". The "100-yen main-only permission flag" is a flag that is set when 100-yen coins should be paid out only from the main tube, and the sub-tube cannot be used, for example, when the processing of step 40 in FIG. 5 is passed. Or it is set when it becomes clear that it will not be used.

If the "100 yen main only allow flag" is set to "1", go to step 51 and replace the contents of the 100 yen sub tube allotment register B1 with the corresponding 100 yen main tube allotment register A1. Perform (A1 = B1, B1 = 0).

On the other hand, if the "100 yen main-only permission flag" is not set to "1", the process proceeds to step 52, and it is checked whether the content of the 100-yen sub-tube allocation number register B1 is greater than 1. If B1> 1, go to step 53 and set the contents of the register B1 to the 100-yen coin payout number register KCN.
Set to. Then, in step 54, the "100 yen allocation subroutine" is executed. This "100 yen allocation subroutine" is the same as that shown in FIG.
Therefore, the 100 yen coin payout remaining number set in the 100 yen coin payout number register KCN is divided into two, which are respectively allocated to the 100 yen main tube allocation number register A1 and the 100 yen subtube allocation number register B1.

If it is determined in step 52 that B1> 1 is not satisfied, that is, B1
If = 1, the "100 yen allocation subroutine" 54 is not executed and the state of A1 = 0 and B1 = 1 is held. This is because when the payout number of subtubes is 1, the subtubes are paid out without reallocation.

In the next steps 55-60, the same processing as the above-mentioned steps 49-54 executed for the 100-yen coin is performed for the 50-yen coin. The "50 yen allocation subroutine" of step 60 is the same as that shown in FIG. Therefore, the 50 yen coin payout remaining number set in the 50 yen coin payout number register KBN is divided into two and reassigned to the 50 yen main tube assigned number register A2 and the 50 yen subtube assigned number register B2, respectively.

In the next steps 61 to 66, the same processing as the above-described steps 49 to 54 executed for the 100-yen coin is executed for the 10-yen coin. The "10 yen allocation subroutine" of step 66 is the same as that shown in FIG. Therefore, the remaining 50 yen coin payout number set in the 10-yen coin payout number register KAN is divided into two and reassigned to the 10-yen main tube allocation number register A3 and the 10-yen sub tube allocation number register B3, respectively.

In the next step 67, the contents of the registers A1 to A3 and B1 to B3 are checked to see if there are coins to be paid out. if there is,
This reassignment routine is ended, and the process proceeds to the main / sub payout control routine 44 (Fig. 4). If there are no coins to be paid out, the reallocation routine is terminated, a predetermined error detection process is performed, and then the process returns to the standby state.

Returning to the main routine of FIG. 4, the main / sub payout control routine 44 executes the same processing as the main / sub payout control routine 41 described above. That is, the operation of the main coin payout mechanism 13a is controlled on the basis of the contents of the respective main tube allocation number registers A1 to A3, and the coins of the number indicated by the respective registers A1 to A3 from the corresponding main tubes A, B, C are controlled. The process of paying each is performed. At the same time, in parallel with this, the operation of the sub-coin payout mechanism 15 is controlled based on the contents of the respective sub-tube assigned number registers B1 to B3, and the corresponding sub-tubes E and F are indicated by the respective registers B1 to B3. The process of paying out coins as many as the number of coins is performed. In this way, the reassigned number of coins is paid out, respectively. In addition, each register A1 ~ A3, B1 ~ B3
1 is subtracted each time one coin is paid out from the corresponding coin tube A to F.

Main / Sub payout control routine 44 to step 42
Then, the reallocation process may be repeated many times.

Of course, the reallocation process may be performed only once without returning from the main / sub payout control routine 44 to step 42.

Further, the change payout process may be ended in the main / sub payout control routine 41 without performing the reallocation process at all.

In the above embodiment, there are two sub tubes, but this is one
The number may be only one, or may be three or more.

Further, in the above-mentioned embodiment, the sub tube exclusively supplies the stored coins manually, but the inserted coins may be automatically supplied.

Further, the main storage unit and the sub-storage unit are not limited to coin tubes of a type in which coins are laid sideways and overlapped, but those of a type in which coins are placed vertically or diagonally (coin chute).
Alternatively, it may be of another type.

Further, in the above embodiment, the reassignment process is performed on the assumption that the payout from the main tube is completed first, but the present invention is not limited to this, in short, the payout of one of the main storage unit and the sub-storage unit. When is finished first, the remaining number of payout numbers assigned to the other is further divided,
The main storage and the sub-storage may be reassigned respectively.

〔The invention's effect〕

As described above, according to the present invention, among coins to be paid out as change, etc., the number of coins to be paid out by a predetermined denomination is divided, and the coins are allocated to the main storage unit and the sub-storage unit respectively, and the allocated number of coins are allocated. Since the main storage section and the sub-storage section are independently dispensed, coins can be dispensed from the main storage section and the sub-storage section in parallel at the same time. It has an excellent effect that can shorten. In addition, when the payout of one of the main storage unit and the sub-storage unit is completed first, the remaining number of the number of payout sheets allocated to the other is further divided, and the main storage unit and the sub-storage unit are re-allocated respectively and the payout is performed. By doing so, the payout time of coins such as change can be further shortened.
