Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a coin processing machine that automatically processes various types of coins in banks, supermarkets, bus fare clearing stations, etc., and particularly to a control device for its operation.

Coin processing machines generally have a classification function that sorts coins of many denominations into each denomination, a counting function that counts the number of these classified coins, and a coin wrapping function that wraps these counted coins in predetermined quantities. I have it.

These functions are then performed sequentially, usually for a particular denomination of coins. However, in conventional coin processing machines of this type, the denomination is designated by manual operation of a denomination setting dial.

The denomination designation was limited to only one denomination. Therefore, when processing coins of many denominations, it is necessary to confirm each time processing of a certain denomination is completed, and then to specify a new denomination. Therefore, even during normal operation without any trouble, the operator is required to perform the operation again. Such driving operation is not recommended from the viewpoint of labor saving and automation. In addition, this re-operation may lead to troubles such as confirmation errors and denomination specification errors. The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and its first object is to be able to input multiple instructions for the denominations of coins to be processed, and to continuously harden multiple denominations one by one based on these instruction inputs. The point is to make it count.

A second object of the present invention is to provide an automatic processing mode,
The purpose of this system is to enable continuous processing of coins of many denominations. Hereinafter, the present invention will be specifically explained based on the drawings.

First, the configuration and functions of the coin processing machine 1 will be described based on FIG.

For example, when coins 2 of various denominations to be processed, such as bus fares, are put into the hopper 4 of the first holding section 3, the inserted coins 2 are sequentially transferred to the rotary plate 7 by the conveyor 5 at the bottom of the hopper 4. transported upwards. The coins 2 on the rotary disk 7 are aligned around the periphery due to the centrifugal force caused by the rotation of the rotary disk 7, and are sent one by one to the subsequent coin sorting section 8. Further, the conveyor 5 of the coin supply unit 6 is rotationally controlled by a level switch 104 as a detection means that is activated by detecting the amount of coins on the rotary disk 7.
Care is taken to ensure that the amount of coins on the rotary disk 7 is always an appropriate amount. The coin sorting section 8 sorts the coins 2 sent out from the coin supply section 6 according to the difference in coin diameter, and has a coin passage 12 whose width is adjusted by rotation of an eccentric cam 11 of a sorting control section 10. Separate scraping belt (not shown) between
The small-diameter coins 2 are then dropped from the coin passage 12 into a second holding section 13 provided separately, while only the designated target large-diameter coins 2 are transported to the counting section 9 at the subsequent stage.

This operation is the classification function of the coin 2. Said second holding section 1
3 coins 2 are transferred to a conveyor 1 as a means of conveyance when necessary.
4, it is sent to the hopper 4 of the first holding section 3 again. For example, the counter 9 is configured to collect coins 2 passing through the counter 9.
The number of coins 2 is counted by detecting the amount of rotation of the driven star wheel 15, and when necessary, by stopping the rotation of the star wheel 15, the passage of the coins 2 is forcibly blocked and a predetermined number of coins 2 is counted. Only the quantity of coins 2 is sent out. This operation is the coin 2 counting function. The following explanation is an explanation of the operation when wrapping the counted coins 2 in a predetermined quantity, for example, 5 coins each.

The counted coins 2 sent out from the counting section 9 are led to the packaging mechanism section by a separate guide tube (not shown) and are stacked in the coin receiver 16 one after another. After this, the number of stacked coins 2 is a predetermined amount,
For example, when five copies are made, the feeding of the coins 2 from the counter 9 is temporarily interrupted. The stacked coins 2 are then wrapped in wrapping paper 17 that is separately supplied from a paper feeding section via a wrapping roller 106 that rotates from a range and comes into contact with it, and a winding needle 107 that comes into contact with it from above and below. Ru. When the wrapping of the stacked coins 2 is completed, the wrapped coins 2 are stored in the storage box 22 via the guide cylinder 21, and coin feeding from the counting section 9 to the coin receiver 16 is started again.
The next wrapping operation is performed. This is the coin wrapping function, and the operation of the wrapping mechanism is totally controlled by the wrapping control section 18. Also, the paper feed control section 1 of the paper feed section
Reference numeral 9 can supply wrapping paper 17 with dimensions and denomination indication suitable for each denomination coin shape, and the guide tube 2
1, the sorting control unit 20 switches the packaged coins 2 to the storage box 2.
Coins 2 that cannot be wrapped normally in the wrapping mechanism section, such as coins 2 that have been stacked incorrectly or coins that have been wrapped incorrectly, and fractional coins 2 that are less than a predetermined quantity, are It selectively leads to the holding section 23. The coins 2 stored in the third storage section 23 are configured to be sent to the hopper 4 of the first storage section 3 by a conveyor 24 serving as a conveyance means. Now, the above coin processing machine 1 is
It is comprehensively controlled by a separate control device 25.

The control device 25 is constructed as shown in FIGS. 2 and 2A. The functions of each part are as follows. The input operation unit 26 is a part that transmits necessary signals by key operations, and includes a clear key 27, a start key 28, and a stop key 29 for operation, a first mode changeover switch 30 for automatic/manual operation as mode switching means, Denomination designation keys 31, 32, 33, 34, 35 for selectively specifying five denominations of 10 yen, 10 yen, 5 yen, 5 old, and 1 yen, and a display 36 for displaying denominations; It is comprised of a second mode changeover switch 105 as a mode changeover means for specifying either counting mode or counting packaging mode. The memory section 37 as a denomination storage means has denomination specification keys 31, 32, 33, 34.
, 35, the coin denominations to be processed are stored for each denomination. The selection unit 38 serving as denomination selection means outputs the stored contents of the memory unit 37 to the sequence control unit 39 based on a predetermined priority order. Therefore, in principle, a series of coin processing operations are performed sequentially for multiple denominations, one denomination at a time. As shown in FIG. 2A, the sequence control section 39 is composed of a program counter 117, a request circuit 118, and a read-only memory 119, and its functions are controlled by the input operation section 26.
The clear, start, stop, and auto/manual signals from the coin processing machine 1 and the denomination designation signal from the select section 38 are input, and the coin supply section 6 and sorting of the coin processing machine 1 described above are performed based on a preset sequence program. It controls the control section 10, the counting section 9, the packaging control section 18, the paper feeding control section 19, the selection control section 20, and the conveyors 14 and 24 as conveyance means. Here, a series of operations of the sequence program will be explained based on FIG.

First, the power is turned on, initial settings are applied, and the device goes into standby mode.

Next, the operator arbitrarily specifies the denomination to be processed using the denomination specifying keys 31, 32, 33, 34, and 35 as the denomination specifying means, and the first denomination as the mode switching means.
The automatic or manual mode is designated via the mode changeover switch 30, and the counting or counting/packaging mode is designated through the second mode changeover switch 105 as a mode changeover means. Commands the start of processing. When the start key 28 is operated to start processing, the sequence steps are updated and Σ
It is determined whether m=1, that is, whether there is a denomination to be processed. That is,
A logical addition Σm of the denomination-specific storage (1 with memory, 0 without memory) of the memory unit 37 as a denomination storage means is performed, and when this is 1, one of the denomination-specific memories is 1, and therefore The logical operation result also becomes 1. If not, the operation of the start key 28 is invalidated and the process returns to the standby step. If any denomination is specified in the above denomination determination step Σm=1, the next step Mx → 1 (x is a denomination that can be replaced with a number, for example, m
M2 is a 100 yen coin, M2 is a 50 yen coin, etc. ), the highest priority denomination of these denominations to be processed is searched, and this highest priority denomination MO is set as the denomination to be processed in the current operation. After this, the next step lower LAG=
In step 1, it is determined whether the current operation is for the second or higher denomination among the designated denominations. Therefore, in the case of processing the second or higher denomination, all the coins 2 in the second holding section 13 are transferred to the conveyor 14 as a conveying means in the next step.
is transported to the hopper 4 of the first holding section 3 via
Further, denomination setting operations to be set according to denominations such as the sorting control section 10, packaging control section 18, and sheet feeding control section 19 are performed, and the count contents of the counting section 9 are cleared. In this case, since it is the first coin processing, the above judgment result is FLAG
Therefore, only the above-mentioned denomination setting operation and clearing of the counting contents are performed, and after the denomination setting operation and clearing operation of each section are completed, in the next step, the above-mentioned coin supply section 6
The conveyor 5 and rotary disk 7 start rotating, and the coins 2 of the target denomination are sorted and counted, and if necessary, wrapped.

Thereafter, the coin processing operations of supplying, sorting, counting, and packaging/packing the coins 2 are continued until the coins in the hopper 4 of the first holding section 3 run out.

Here, the coin processing operation is performed by the counting operation of the counting section 9 and the level switch 104 as a detection means of the coin supplying section 6, or when necessary, the above-mentioned A detector (not shown) as a detecting means for detecting the presence or absence of coins is separately provided in the coin supply section 6 and the first storage section 3, and this is detected and stopped as an empty I. In the above coin processing operation, in the case of counting mode, the sorted coins 2 are only counted by the counting section 9, and the counting section 9 is used for counting separately selected and specified by the operator, for example, 100 losses, 400 losses, 500 losses. Each player will count and throw out 2 coins.

When the counts match, the counting section 9 temporarily stops, and after that, when a storage body (not shown) separately attached to the outlet of the counting section 9 for storing the counted coins 2 is replaced, The operation of counting the predetermined number of sheets is started and continued again based on the detection output of a detector (not shown) which is separately provided in the storage body mounting section and serves as a detection means for detecting replacement of the storage body. In addition, in this case, we have described the case where the next counting operation is started by detecting the replacement operation of the storage body, but in this sequence ● step, the operation of the start key 28 is given the meaning of restarting and continuing the counting operation. Control may be performed by operating the start key 28.

On the other hand, in the above-mentioned coin processing operation, in the counting/wrapping mode, the sorted coins 2 are counted by the counting section 9 and stacked, for example, 50 coins on the coin receiver 16 of the wrapping mechanism section.

After the wrapping operation of the stacked coins 2 with five losses is completed, the stacking operation of the counted coins 2 in the coin receiver 16 is started and continued again.

In this case, since the counted coins 2 sent out by the counting section 9 are stacked directly on the coin receiver 16 of the packaging mechanism section, the counting operation cannot be performed during the wrapping operation, but the subsequent stage of the counting section 9 If a stacking cylinder for stacking is provided in the stacking machine, and the stacked coins 2 in the stacking barrel are guided onto the coin receiver 16 and packaged after the stacking, the packaging machine assembly can be easily During the wrapping operation, the counting and stacking operation of the coins 2 to be wrapped next can be started, and the processing time can be shortened. In addition, in this counting/wrapping mode, coins that could not be wrapped due to stacking errors or wrapping errors of the coins 2 are transferred to the third holding section 22 by the guide tube 21.
The coins 2 in the third holding section 23 are constantly conveyed to the hopper 4 of the first holding section 3 by a conveyor 24 serving as a conveying means. Further, the returned coins 2 are again sent to the packaging mechanism section via the counting section 9. When the coin processing for the specific denomination is completed and the Empty I is detected, the sequence step is updated to the next step, and the memory of the denomination MO is reset Mx
→0 is set, and the flag FLAG indicating that the coin processing for the first denomination has been completed is set FLAG→1, and only when the operation mode is the counting and packaging mode, the fractional coin 2 on the coin receiver 16 is , after being guided to the third storage section 23, the coins are removed from the third storage section 23 to a separately provided storage chamber 101 for fractional coins.

After this, the sequence ● step is updated step by step, and the mode specified by the first mode changeover switch 30 as a mode changeover means is judged as AUTO=1, and in the case of automatic mode, when the start key 28 is operated, The same sequence step is updated and the same processing as described above is executed sequentially, but if the above Σm=1 judgment is performed after the processing for the last denomination is completed, there is no denomination to be processed after this. Therefore, after the flag FLAG indicating the number of times of the above processing is reset from FLAG to 0, the system returns to the initial standby state and the series of processing is completed. On the other hand, in the case of manual mode with the above mode judgment AUTO=1, the above-mentioned standby state is returned with the flag FLAG indicating the number of times of the above processing set, and when the start key 28 is operated thereafter, the above-mentioned Similar processing will be executed sequentially, but in this case, after the denomination set MO→1 of the coin to be newly processed, the second
A conveyor 14 serves as a means of conveying all the coins 2 in the holding section 13.
It is necessary to convey the coins to the hopper 4 of the first holding section 3 via the detection output of a detector (not shown) which is separately provided and serves as a detection means for detecting the presence or absence of coins in the second holding section 13. The conveyor 14 will be driven until the empty {circle around (2)} is obtained. A series of coin processing is performed as described above, and the sequential control of the sequence steps in the sequence control unit 39 is such that the sequence counter is sequentially updated based on the confirmation of the condition signal that becomes valid at the relevant counting step. Therefore, even if the operator makes a mistake in key operation in the input operation unit 26 in another processing step, this will be ignored in the execution of the sequence and will not cause a malfunction, and will be tolerated by the input operation unit 26. The operation input is regulated by the step conditions of the sequence control section 39.

Now, the above-mentioned operation order can be made more concrete by the present invention, that is, by the control device 40 which is one of the denomination specifying means as follows.

Of course, this control device 40 is in a cooperative relationship under the control of the sequence control section 39 described above. The program contents of the sequence can be set as necessary. The circuit configuration of the denomination designation control device 40 is as shown in FIG. When the sequence control unit 39 is outputting a standby signal, its R
The standby signal of HJ is sent to AND circuits 41, 42, 43, 44,
45, 51 is one input. Then, the operator presses the denomination designation keys 31, 32, . . . , 35 to designate the denomination to be processed. This circuit is a denomination designation circuit 122 which is denomination designation means as the input operation section 26.
Here, the denomination designation keys 31, 32, 33, 34, 35 are as follows:
As shown in FIG. 2, the coins correspond to, for example, 10 yen, 100 yen, 5 yen, 5 yen, and 1 yen coins, respectively.

For example, if denomination designation keys 31 and 32 are pressed and 1Cf3 and 100 yen are designated, AND circuits 41 and 4
2 outputs the RHJ signal, and based on this, R-S type flip-flop circuits 46 and 47 are set and output the RHJ signal to their output terminals. At this time, it is preferable that the designated denomination be confirmed by the RHJ level output signals of the flip-flop circuits 46 and 47 through a light-emitting display such as a light emitting diode provided for each denomination. The above flip-flop circuits 46, 47, 48, 49,
50 is a storage circuit 123 as a part of the memory section 37
It consists of

In this way, the denomination designation signal appears at the input terminals 1 and 2 of the encoder circuit 67.

Here, the encoder circuit 67 selectively converts only one input of the input denomination designation signals into a 4-bit output, for example in order of decreasing input, and outputs it to the latch circuit 68. The encoder circuit 67 has a circuit configuration as shown in FIG. 9, and the truth table of its operation is as follows. H=High level L=Low level x=irrelevant The latch circuit 68 can temporarily store a logic signal and waits for the timing of reading in the operation step based on the operation of the start key 28.

Note that when even one denomination designation signal is input, a THJ signal appears at the output terminal GS of the encoder circuit 67. This RHJ signal is used to determine whether a denomination is specified. Thereafter, when the start key 28 is operated, subsequent denomination designation operations are prohibited by the AND paths 41 to 45, and a read signal is input to the latch circuit 68, and the output information of the encoder circuit 67 is The logic signal that is latched and output from the latch circuit 68 is output from the matching circuit 7.
0, 71, 72 and a decoder circuit 69.
Matching circuits 70, 71, and 72 output logic signals based on denomination designation and detectors 73, 74, and 7 as detection means described later.
Determine whether the signals from 5 match. If both signals match, each matching circuit 70, 71, 72 outputs an RHJ signal. Therefore, the AND circuit 76 outputs a step update request signal for moving to the next operation. Furthermore, if both signals are in a mismatched state, the matching circuits 70, 71, and 72 in the mismatched state output the RLj signal, and the R
The LJ signal is converted into an RHJ signal by the corresponding inverters 77, 78, and 79, and the corresponding driving means of the sorting control section 10, packaging control section 18, and sheet feeding control section 19 are rotated to obtain a matching state. In this way, the denomination is designated based on the key operation, and the coin processing machine 1 is thereby prepared for the counting operation or the counting and wrapping operation of the designated denomination. When the counting and packaging operation for the highest priority coin 2 among the designated denominations is completed, an update signal is input as a stroke signal to the decoder circuit 69, and only the denomination signal corresponding to the latched denomination is output.

Therefore, the decoder circuit 69 outputs RH. J
Issues a level update reset signal. This reset signal is then input to the flip-flop circuit 46 of the corresponding denomination via the OR circuit 62, and resets it. Therefore, the encoder circuit 67 performs the same operation as described above regarding the coin 2 of the next priority denomination of 100 yen. In this way, the designated denominations of 10 yen and 100 coins 2 are sequentially processed based on the priority order. The circuit configuration of the decoder circuit 69 is as shown in FIG. 10, and the truth table of its operation is as follows.

Next, the circuit functions in automatic processing mode will be described. The above-mentioned operation is started only for the designated coin on the condition that the manual denomination designation operation is performed, but the manual operation designation is performed by operating the auto/manual designation key 115.
In the case of auto, the designated signal is RHJ, and in the case of manual, the designated signal is RLJ. With auto designation, coin processing for all denominations will automatically proceed sequentially, except in exceptional cases. The lock key 116 is used to stop processing of denominations that do not need to be processed in the automatic processing mode. By operating this key, the processing of the corresponding denomination is omitted, thereby shortening the processing time. The embodiment of FIG. 4 allows for omission only for one denomination, but if omission is required for multiple denominations or for any denomination, as shown in FIG. 11,
In addition to the lock key 116, a lock key 124 is provided for each denomination.
, 125...127, flip-flop circuit 128,
129...132 and AND circuits 133, 134...
・If 137 is added, it will be possible to lock each denomination.
The locked state can be set by the flip-flop circuit 128 when necessary.
It can be canceled by inputting a reset signal to 129...132. In addition, in FIG. 4, the clear key 27 is connected to flip-flop circuits 55, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50.
, 53, and 54 are input, and the denomination specification and operation error memory are cleared. Misoperation here refers to cases where a denomination is specified in auto mode and then a start command is issued, or a case where a start command is issued without specifying a denomination in manual mode. Note that the input terminal 140 provides a clock signal to the flip-flop circuits 53 and 54. As shown in the figure, each element group includes an erroneous operation detection circuit 120 and an auto designation circuit 12.
1 is configured. When auto mode is specified with auto/manual specification key 115, AND circuits 111, 11
3, the RH signal is input to the AND circuit 112, and the r'L signal is input to the AND circuit 112.

Next, when the start key 28 is pressed, the Q output of the flip-flop circuit 53 changes to RH at the timing of the first fall of the clock pulse signal, and the Q output of the flip-flop circuit 53 changes to RH at the fall of the next clock pulse signal. The Q output of 54 becomes RHJ. This flip-flop circuit 53
If the determination signal is input from the encoder circuit 67 to the AND circuit 111 after the output of the next flip-flop circuit 54 changes from the RHJ output to the RHJ output, the flip-flop circuit 55 detects an operation error as an operation error. Output a signal. In addition, with manual operation,
If the start operation is performed without specifying the denomination, the entire human power of the AND circuit 112 becomes the RHJ signal, and therefore an operation error signal is output in that case as well. Note that when the lock key 116 is operated as described above, the AND circuit 52 receives the RLJ signal at one of its inputs, so the output flip-flop circuit 50 is not set, so processing for that denomination is omitted. be done. This lock key 116
may be attached to each denomination. Incidentally, the detectors 73, 74, 75 as the aforementioned detection means are shown in FIGS. 6 and 7.
As shown in the figure, a rotary plate 80 is attached to the shaft of the driving means, a cam 81 corresponding to the denomination is fixed to the plate, and switches 82, 83, 84, 85, 86 are made to correspond to this cam 81, and the switch 82 is activated. When the switch 82, 83, 84, 85
, 86 may be read as a denomination signal.

Of course, the shape of the cam 81 or the switches 83, 84, 8
The arrangement of numerals 5 and 86 is unique for each denomination, and corresponds to the logic conversion in the encoder circuit 67.
Note that the rotation of the rotary plate 80 is caused by the stopper 88 of the electromagnetic plunger 87 and the recess 8 of the rotary plate 80 at the time when the coincidence output occurs.
This is thwarted by an interaction with 9. Furthermore, the empty detection circuit 90 in FIG. 5 is a circuit that outputs the empty signals 1 and 2 at the RLJ level to the sequence control unit 39 when there is no processed coin, and is illustrated as the same circuit.

That is, a coin detection signal is input as an RHJ signal to an input terminal 91, and a step signal of the sequence is input as an RLJ signal to another input terminal 92. When a coin is detected, the OR circuit 93 outputs the RH signal, so the first stage transistor 94 becomes conductive.
As a result, the next stage transistor 95 is turned off,
The RHJ signal appears on the output. When the detection signal disappears and the step signal is issued at the RL level,
Transistors 94 and 95 enter a cut-off state, and after a predetermined period of time, this state is reversed, and an empty signal at the RL level appears at the output. This empty signal is used to determine empty I or empty ■ as described above. Now, as already described, wrapped coins 2
The fractional coins 2 are stored separately for each denomination, and the classification storage means is effective for subsequent coin processing.

FIG. 8 shows the classification storage means. That is, the classification storage means shown in the same figure has a storage box 97 attached to a rotating shaft 96, which is divided by denomination by a partition plate 98, and further partitioned by an auxiliary partition plate 99. In this case, the packaged coins 2 in a predetermined quantity are stored in the outer storage chamber 1.
00, the fractional number of coins 2 is inserted into the storage chamber 101 on the center side. The rotating shaft 96 is driven by a drive device in conjunction with the sorting control unit 10, and is automatically stopped at a rotational position corresponding to the denomination by the detector 73 and matching circuit 70 described above. The guide 102 of the third holding section 23 is swingably supported by a support shaft 103 at the bottom thereof. When it is necessary to return the coins, the guide 102 is operated with an electromagnetic plunger (not shown) so that the coins 2 fall onto the conveyor 24.On the other hand, when odd coins are to be removed, the coins fall into the storage chamber 101. do it. Note that the storage box 97 described above may be configured to be moved in a linear direction, and in that case, it may be configured so that packaged coins of the same denomination and fractional coins can be stored adjacent to each other vertically or horizontally. is self-evident.

The sequence program of the sequence control unit 39 can be arbitrarily set as described above.

For example, the program contents differ depending on when the coin processing machine 1 has only a counting function or when it has both a counting function and a wrapping function. Its operating mode is as follows.

In case of only one counting function: Coin 2 to be counted in this mode is
The coins 2 flow to the first storage section 3, the coin sorting section 8, and the counting section 9, and after being stored in the second storage section 13, they are transferred to the first storage section again by the conveyor 14 as a conveyance means. 3 will be returned.

When the counting of coins to be counted is completed, the empty detection circuit 90 detects the presence or absence of j 2 coins in the first storage section 3, coin supply section 6, coin sorting section 8, and counting section 9. 2. In case of counting and packaging function: All the coins 2 to be counted in this mode flow sequentially to the first holding section 3, the coin sorting section 8, the counting section 9, and the packaging control section 18, and are packaged for each unit number. The coins 2 to be counted whose packaging is broken are returned to the first holding unit 3 via the third holding unit 23 and the conveyor 24 as a conveyance means.
The remaining unpackable fractional coins to be counted are appropriately discarded.

Here, the exclusion location is the storage room 101 described above. Further, coins 2 other than the counted denominations are temporarily stored in the second storage section 13 and then returned to the first storage section 3 by the conveyor 14 as a conveying means. The present invention has the following advantages.

First, when coins are counted or packaged, reflux occurs, but even in this case, the counting and packaging operations of multi-denomination coins proceed continuously and rationally, and the multi-denomination coins can be processed automatically and efficiently.
Next, the designation of coins to be processed can be input for multiple denominations at the same time.

Moreover, in the case of such input, it can be specified individually manually by selecting auto/manual, or uniformly in principle. This means that processing operations can be streamlined when the denomination to be processed is unknown, when all denominations of coins are to be processed, or when coins of a particular denomination do not exist.
