Cancel key: When operated in withdrawal mode, 2 coins
are collected in the original coin storage section 9.

Next, we will explain the operation of the coin depositing and dispensing machine in Figures 7 (2) and 7.
The explanation will be based on the flowchart of (Figure).

(1) In case of deposit mode.

If the clerk operates the deposit mode with the mode changeover switch of the data input section 23 switched to the deposit/withdrawal mode,
After determining that this deposit mode has been selected (step ■), the CPU 121 opens the attendance staff starter 32 (step ■). In this state, it is determined whether or not the coin 2 has been thrown into the hopper 31 based on the detection output from the hopper coin detection sensor 34 (step 2). In this case, if the input is not made within a certain period of time, the input rotor 1/vine 32 is closed (step ■■) and the process returns to step ■. If the coins are loaded within a certain period of time, the coins 2 in the hopper 31 are placed on the rotary plate 41 after approximately 3 seconds after the coins are loaded. let it fall. In this state, the conveyance section 4, the temporary storage section 8, the rotary disk 41 in the dispensing conveyance section 100, the conveyance belt 46.81.
82. 101. Motors 43, 4 to drive 102
7.85. 103 (step ■).

Therefore, the rotary disk 41 rotates, aligning the coins 2 along the inner wall of the guide plate 48 by centrifugal force, and aligning the coins 2 along the inner wall of the guide plate 48.
Pay out one piece every 2 in a connected manner. The coin 2 fed into the coin passage 42 is transported by a conveyor bell I=
46 sequentially conveys it along the longitudinal direction.

Since the discrimination section 5 is installed near the entrance end of the coin passage 42, the type and common currency of the coin 2 conveyed on the coin passage 42 are discriminated (step 2). As a result of this determination, if an abnormal coin 2 that should be removed is detected (step [phase]), the separation unit 6 located at the most upstream side of the coin passage 42
Excite the sensor 61 corresponding to the condition (step ■) that the first sensor 65 has performed a detection operation (step o),
A branching plate 64 for separating the abnormal coins 2 is projected onto the coin passage 42, and the abnormal coins 2 are removed to a jet return part 7 on the side of the coin passage 42. As a result of this removal operation, when the second sensor 66 detects that the coin 2 has entered the reject return section 7 (step ■), the solenoid 61 is demagnetized (step [phase]), and a process is performed to separate the abnormal coin 2. Branch plate 6
4 retreats from the coin passage 420 and returns to step ■. The rejected abnormal coins 2 fall from the reject return section 7 onto the conveyor belt l-101, and are returned into the hopper 31 by the conveyor belts 101 and 102. Of course, at this time, the hopper shutter 33 is closed, and the abnormal coin 2 is held within the hopper 31.

On the other hand, if the judged coin 2 is normal, a signal corresponding to the denomination is generated, and this is stored in the deposit buffer 7 memory (-
1-1) and is temporarily added and stored (step ■).

This operation is detected by the rotary disc coin detection sensor 44.
Until it is determined that there is no coin 2 on top of coin 1 (step ■),
It is executed repeatedly for all coins 2. In this way, the number of coins of each denomination can be counted for all the coins 2 that have been inserted. The contents of this C1 number are displayed on the data display section 24. In addition, at this time, branching plates 6 other than the above-mentioned branching plate 64 for removing abnormal coins
4 does not operate, the normal coins 2 conveyed through the coin passage 42F are caught by the conveyor belts 81 and 82 of the temporary holding section 8, and are thereby sequentially supplied to the packets 83 on the conveying belt 84 of the temporary holding section 8. Ru. At this time, the conveyor belt 84
is not driven.

In this way, when the discrimination for all coins 2 is completed, the rotation is 511?41, and the conveyor belt is 46.81.82°1.
01 and 102 are stopped (step ■).

Next, among the inserted coins 2, the rejected abnormal coins 2
Determine whether or not there is (step ■).

That is, when the abnormal coin 2 is removed, since it has been returned to the hopper 31 as described above, this is detected by the hopper coin detection sensor 34 in the hopper 31.

If there is an abnormal coin 2 that has been removed, turn the number of people out
2 and after the customer or staff member takes out the abnormal coin 2,
Close this (step [stock] @0).

After taking out the abnormal coin 2, or if there is no abnormal coin 2, the motor 86 is activated to drive the conveyor belt 84 of the temporary storage section 8 (step 1).

By this operation, all the coins 2 in the packet 83 on the conveyor belt 84 are conveyed into the hopper 31 again. The motor 86 is controlled to stop after the time (approximately 5 seconds) required for the above-mentioned conveyance has elapsed (step ■@).

Next, the customer or the staff member visually checks the data such as the number of coins of each denomination displayed on the data display section 24, and if the customer or the staff member determines that it is okay to deposit the inserted coins 2, the data input section Enter the import command by operating the above-mentioned payment OK primary key provided in step 23 (step ■).
The CPU 121, which is also an input control unit, adds the contents of the deposit buffer memory to the deposit main memory of the deposit memory (step @), and again activates the hopper shutter 3.
Coins 2 in the hopper 31 are opened (step 0).
is again supplied to the rotary plate 41]-. Further, the motors 43 and 47 are activated to drive the conveyance section 4 (step @). With this operation, the coin 2 on the rotation W41 is moved to the coin passage 4 again.
2 and conveyed on this coin passage 42.

Then, the denomination is determined again by the determining unit 5 (step [phase]).

Then, it is determined whether the coin storage cylinder 91 corresponding to each denomination is full or not based on the detection output from the full detection sensor 93 of the fullness detection unit 10 (step [phase]), and if it is not full, a corresponding action is taken. The branch plate 64 for each denomination is operated to separate the coins 2 conveyed on the coin path 42 from the coin path 42 for each denomination and store them in each coin storage tube 91 (step 0). The newly stored number of coins is added to the storage section and number memory of the RAM 51 that stores the number of coins stored in each coin storage cylinder 91 (step ■).
.

In addition, the coin storage cylinder 91 of the denomination that is the above step [phase]
When it is determined that the coins 2 are full, the branch plate 64 for separating the coins of that denomination does not operate, and the coins 2 of that denomination are conveyed as they are by the conveyor belt 46, 81, 82, and transferred to the overflow coin storage section 11. Separated into (steps)
. In this case as well, the number of sheets stored is stored in the stored sheet number memory.

This separation and storage operation is repeatedly performed for all coins 2 until the rotary coin detection sensor 44 determines that there are no coins on the rotary disk 41 (step [phase]).

When all the coins 2 have been separated and stored, the motors 43 and 47 are stopped in order to stop the transport section 4 (step
), complete the deposit.

On the other hand, after checking the contents of the data display section 24 mentioned above,
If the customer or staff member does not make a deposit due to the data being different from what he/she recognized (denomination, number of coins, etc.), in other words, if the refund key of the data input section 23 is operated, the data stored in the RAM 51 The number of coins and amount of money for each denomination temporarily stored in the deposit buffer memory of the deposit memory are erased (step [phase]), and the turnout shutter 32 is controlled to open (step -). After confirming that the customer or the staff member has taken out the coin 2 from the hopper 31 (step 0), the turnout shutter 32 is closed (step @), and the process ends.

(2) In case of withdrawal mode.

The clerk operates the withdrawal mode while switching the mode changeover switch of the data input section 23 to the deposit/withdrawal mode, and inputs the withdrawal amount and number of denominations using the denomination key or numeric keypad, and also enters the customer number. Step 0)
The CPU 121 determines that a withdrawal instruction has been input,
The entered withdrawal amount and number of denominations are RA as withdrawal data.
It is stored in the withdrawal input memory of M51 and the customer no.
is temporarily stored in the RAM 51. Next, among the coin dispensing sections 12 provided for each coin storage tube 91, the one corresponding to the input denomination is operated (step 0). and,
The number of coins 2 of each denomination dispensed is added to the withdrawal buffer memory of the RAM 51 (step O) and subtracted from the stored coin number memory (step O), and the contents of the withdrawal buffer memory and the output are It is determined whether the withdrawal data input into the money input memory matches (step 0),
The above throwing operation is repeated until both match. That is, the above determination is made by detecting and counting the deposited coins 2 in the dispensing buffer memory and comparing the value with dispensing data in the dispensing input memory for each denomination. Note that the coins 2 that have been thrown out are transferred to the conveyor belt 10 of the dispensing conveyor section 100.
It is accepted above 1.

If the dispensed coin 2 matches the dispensing data through the above operation, then the motor 10 is activated to drive the dispensing conveyance section 100.
Rotate 3 forward (step @). For this reason, the coin 2 that had been thrown onto the conveyor belt 101 is transferred to the conveyor belt 1.
01 and conveyor belt 102 into the hopper 31. Note that the dispensing conveyance section 100 is controlled to stop after the time (approximately 15 seconds) for conveying the coins 2 to the hopper 31 has elapsed (step @O).

Next, the operation of confirming the withdrawal amount (denomination) is started, the hopper shutter 33 listens (step @), and the withdrawal coin 2 in the hopper 31 is dropped onto the rotating W41. 4. Rotary disk 41 in temporary storage section 8, conveyor belt 4
6. Start motor 43°47.85 to drive 81.82 (step [phase]). Therefore, rotation 5134
1 rotates, and the coins 2 to be dispensed are fed out one by one into the coin passage 42, sequentially conveyed by conveyor bells 1 to 46, and discriminated by the discriminator 5 (step 6D). This determination result is temporarily added and stored in the confirmation buffer memory of the RAM 51 (step 2). The dispensing coins 2 conveyed through the coin passage 42-F are transferred to the conveyor belt 84 of the temporary storage section 8.
It is sequentially supplied to the upper packet 83. Such operations are executed until it is determined that there is no coin 2 on the rotary disk 41 (step ■), and when all the determinations are completed, the rotary disk 4
1. Stop the conveyor bells 1-4G and 81.82 (step 0).

Next, as a result of determining this withdrawal coin 2, that is, RAM5
The contents of the confirmation buffer memory 1 and the contents of the memory of the withdrawal puff 7 of the RAM 51 stored at the time of dispensing the above-mentioned withdrawal coin 2 are compared (step 0). As a result, in the corridor where both buffer memories coincide, the turnout shutter 32 is opened (step), and the coins 2 to be dispensed from the temporary holding section 8 are thrown into the hopper 31. Then, when the customer or the clerk takes out the coins 2 from the hopper 31 and confirms that there are no coins left behind (step [phase]), the turnout shutter 32 is closed (step ■), and the CPU 121 stores the coins in the withdrawal buffer memory. The contents are added to the withdrawal main memory (step [phase]), and the process ends.

Furthermore, if the two buffer memories do not match in step 0, or if the cancel key of the data input section 23 is operated, the contents temporarily stored in the withdrawal buffer memory of the RAM 51 are erased ( Step @)
, go to step @, open the hopper shutter 33, and rotate the coins 2 conveyed from the temporary storage section 8 into the hopper 31.
Drop it onto 41. Then, the coins are collected again into the coin storage tubes 91 corresponding to each denomination (step @0 [phase] [phase] ■ [shares] [existence] ■) and the control ends once again. Then, it waits for the customer or the clerk to select the withdrawal mode again.

In addition, if the coin 2 remains in the hopper 31 even after a predetermined period of time has passed in step [phase] (step @
), the guide 110 of the forgotten coin storage section 13 is advanced to the end of the conveyor belt 81, that is, onto the temporary storage section 8, and the switching plate 115 is retracted from the inside of the first shoe 1 to 111 to store the forgotten coin. Switch to empty space 112 (step 0). Next, the turnout shutter 32 is closed, and the hopper shutter 33 is opened (step O), and the forgotten coins 2 in the hopper 31 are dropped onto the rotary disk 41, and in this state, the transport section 4 and the temporary storage section 8 are rotated. The board 41 and the conveyor bell 1-46.81°82 are driven (step 0). Due to the rotation of this rotary disk 41, the forgotten coin 2 is transferred to the coin passage 42.
It is sent out to the discrimination section 5 for discrimination (step @l)
Then, this determined bundle is added and stored in the forgotten memory of the RAM 51 together with the customer number (step Φ). and,
The receiving guide 110 receives the forgotten coins 2 conveyed on the coin path 42 and discharged from the end of the conveyor belt 81, and collects them in the forgotten coin storage space 112 along the first chute 111 (step ]). In this way, it is determined that there is no coin 2 on the rotary disk 41 (step O
), and when all the forgotten coins 2 are collected, the rotary disk 41 and the conveyor belts 46, 81, 82 are stopped (step 0), and the forgotten coin storage section 1 is stopped.

finish.

Note that the data input section 23 may be used to confirm, for example, a forgotten coin.
A withdrawal key is set up, and when the customer realizes that he or she has forgotten to take coin 2, by inputting that key, the data display section 24 displays the denomination amount of the forgotten coin 2 and confirms it. At the same time, they will be able to withdraw money.

(3) In case of replenishment mode.

There are more withdrawals than deposits, and the coin storage tube 91 of the coin storage section 9
If there are no coins 2 left for withdrawal, or if there are only a few remaining coins 2, it is necessary to take out the coins 2 for replenishment from the teller room and replenish the coins. In this case, the mode switching switch of the data input section 23 is operated to switch to the replenishment mode. Then, the CPU 121 determines that the replenishment mode has been designated (step @), so the CPU 121 closes the crowd shutter 32.
Open side taZ.

Therefore, when the clerk inserts the supplementary Zubegi coins 2 into the hopper 31, the C4JP 121 confirms this and then controls the insertion port shutter 32 to open. After this, the hopper shutter 33
is opened (step 0), the coins 2 put into the hopper 31 are dropped onto the rotary disk 41, and in this state, the rotary disk 41 of the conveying section 4 and the conveyor bells 1 to 46 are driven by the
Conveyance belt 1 of the withdrawal conveyance section 100 as a collection conveyance section
01 in the opposite direction from when withdrawing money (Step 0) 1.
Then, due to the rotation of the rotary disk 41, the coin 2 is transferred to the coin passage 42.
The denomination and damaged coins (scratches, deformations, dirty coins, etc.) are determined by the determining unit 5 (step 00), and
It is determined whether or not the denomination storage cylinder 91 corresponding to each denomination is full (step @), and if it is not full, the coins 2 are separated by denomination and stored in each storage cylinder 91 (step [phase] ), and the newly stored number of coins is added to the storage number memory of the RAM 51 which stores the number of coins stored in each coin storage cylinder 91 (step 0).

In addition, if a damaged coin is determined in step (2), or if it is determined that the coin storage tube 91 is full in step (2), the damaged coin or the coin 2 after overflow of the corresponding denomination is &J ! Transport bells 1 to 1 are conveyed from rejiku 1 to return section 7 of separating section 6 located at the most upstream side of cargo passage 42.
01, are collected by the transport bells 1 to 101 into the collection box 104 (step @), and returned to the staff member.
be done.

Such an operation is executed until it is determined (step) that there is no coin 2 on the rotary disk 41, and when it is determined that there is no coin 2, it rotates! , '11 and the conveyor belt 46°101 are stopped (step 0), and replenishment is completed.

(4) In case of collection mode.

When the coins 2 in each coin storage tube 91 are to be collected in the collection box 104, the mode changeover switch of the data input section 23 is switched to the collection mode. After determining that the collection mode is supported (step @), the CUP 121 reverses the conveyor belt 101 in order to use the dispensing conveyance unit 100 for collection (step 0). Next, all coin dispensing parts 12
is operated (step Φ), and the coin 2 is ejected from each coin storage tube 91. At this time, the storage number memory of the RAM 51 is sequentially subtracted (step @). This dispensing operation is performed by an empty detection receptacle 92 provided in each coin storage tube 91.
determines that all dispensing has been completed, or RAM
This process is repeated until the storage number memory of 51 becomes all zero (step @). Coin thrown out 2 (conveyor belt 10
1 into the collection box 104. After the dispensing of all the coins 2 is detected IJ3, the operation of each coin dispensing section 12 is stopped (step @), and the time required to transport the disposed coins 2 to the collection box 104 ( After about 10 seconds), the conveyor belt 101 is controlled to stop (step @), and the collection is completed.

In addition, the 1-empty detection section 125, the near-1st detection section 1

The determination may be made using an AND condition with 93.9/I.

[Efficacy of invention]

According to the present invention, in a coin processing machine configured to dispense a required number of coins from a coin storage section based on dispensing data, coins are replenished into a coin storage section in which coins are stored for each denomination. When this coin storage section is detected to be full, coins of the corresponding denomination are not stored inside the machine, but are collected in a separate collection box, which is completely necessary for coin management. There is no need to store and store coins without coins inside the machine, and the coins can be easily managed.
