Description

Detailed Description of the Invention (a) Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an automatic machine for replenishing cylindrical coins, such as those used in banking, and more specifically, it relates to an automatic machine for replenishing cylindrical coins at an appropriate time. This article relates to a near-end value setting method for a currency exchange machine.

(b) Purchasing the back of the invention Conventionally, this type of automatic exchange machine has been used for 10 yen, 50 yen, and 100 yen.
Tubular coins such as yen and 500 yen are stored in storage shelves arranged in multiple tiers, separated by denomination.
are released one by one.

By the way, based on the fact that the cylindrical coins are gradually released, when the cylindrical hardness decreases, the near-end value that indicates when to replenish the cylindrical coins will reach the end value where the cylindrical coins are completely exhausted. The amount will be notified and the staff will replenish the remaining denomination.

However, in this case, the denominations with which exchange requests are frequently made.

Since the near-end value is usually set to the same value for denominations with few exchange requests gArf&, the denomination with many exchange requests is replenished more frequently, and conversely, the denomination with fewer exchange requests is There will be no replenishment operations. For this reason, even though there is a considerable margin from the near-end value to the end value for denominations with less frequent exchange requests, it is necessary for staff to replenish coins directly at the near-end value. This type of money could not be used effectively because the number of exchanges increased and excessive coins remained in the storage shelf.

(C) For the purpose of the invention, this invention provides a near-end value setting method for an automatic two-mill that is optimal for the replenishment period of cylindrical coins for each denomination by setting the near-end value according to the two-eight request frequency of the denomination fu. The purpose is to provide.

(D) Summary of the Invention This invention provides a near-end l1rJ setting I of an automatic exchange machine in which the near-end value of the denomination for which the exchange request frequency is low is set to be less than the near-end value of the denomination for the denomination for which the exchange request frequency is high.
It is characterized by being a J method.

(E) Effects of the Invention According to this invention, the near-end value of the denomination for which exchange is requested less frequently is set to a value at which there is a sufficient amount of the cylindrical coins remaining, so that the initial replenishment is carried out by the clerk. The waiting period from the time to the near-end value can be extended to 11 minutes, making it possible to effectively use double-H coins, which will definitely reduce the number of coin replenishment times for the staff, and allow for efficient use of funds. can be achieved.

(f) Examples of the invention An embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

The drawing shows an automatic money changer, and in Figure 1 there is J3, and this white one?
) The J currency exchange machine is composed of a hard (support) storage section 11 and a coin takeout section 12, and the coin storage section 11 has 10 yen and 50
The cylindrical coins 13, each containing 50 medium packages of various coins of yen, 100 yen, and 500 yen, are stored by denomination in storage shelves 14 arranged vertically in multiple stages. shelf 1
The cylindrical coins 13 are taken out one by one.

The above-mentioned storage shelf 14 has an open upper surface and is set in the shape of a 7C square box, and is tilted so that the cylindrical coins 13 stored therein are transferred to the front #4 handling section 15 side. It is supported by allowing it to slide back and forth between the scooping position and the standby position.

Furthermore, the storage shelf 14 has 10 yen and 10 yen exchange requests that are frequently requested.
Storage shelves for 0 yen coins are arranged on the upper side near the coin dispensing box 17, and storage shelves for 50 yen and 500 yen coins, which are less frequently requested for exchange, are arranged on the lower side.
The storage shelf for denominations that are frequently requested for exchange is placed near the coin dispensing box 17 on the upper side, thereby shortening the removal distance from the storage shelf 14 to the coin discharging box 17, thereby shortening the removal transportation time. ing. In the figure, J3 is t, 100 sequentially from the top side.
5 tiers of yen storage shelves 14a, 5 tiers of 10 yen storage shelves 14b, 5
2 levels of 0 yen storage shelves 14c, 2 levels of 500 yen storage shelves 14 and d
A total of 14 tiers are arranged in parallel, and among these storage shelves, 20 cylindrical hard wires of 10 yen, 50 yen, and 100 yen are loaded in one storage rack, and compared to this. It is loaded with 15 large 500 yen cylindrical coins.

By the way, cylindrical Wj! A near-end value for informing an attendant of the replenishment time of the cylindrical coins 13 based on the amount of coins 13 remaining and an end value for stopping the transaction are each set in proportion to the exchange request frequency.

This means that, for example, the number of storage shelves 14a, 14b, etc. for 100 yen and 10 yen that have a high frequency of exchange requests becomes the final two storage shelves, and the number of storage shelves 14a, 14b, etc. for which exchange requests are frequently made becomes the final two storage shelves, and the number of storage shelves 14a... It is set as the near-end value at the time when the removal starts, and after that, the storage shelf becomes 1st stage, and 6 from the 1st stage of the storage shelf after this ffl.
The end value is set as the point in time when more than one book is taken.

In addition, the number of 50 yen storage @14C, which has a low exchange request frequency, becomes the n1th storage shelf 14c, and this storage shelf 1'
The point in time when sampling starts from 1.0 is set as the near-end value, and the point in time after that 1111th tree is set as the end value.

In addition, 500 yen storage shelf 14d with less frequent exchange requests
The number of storage shelves 14d is the final stage, and this storage shelf 1
The near-end value is set when 8 or more pieces are removed from 4d, and the end value is set when 12 or more pieces are removed from storage shelf 14d.

In this way, because the near-end value is set in proportion to the denominations with a high exchange request frequency and the denomination with a low exchange request frequency, it is possible to deal with wasteful waiting tif11 according to the exchange request frequency,
It can be effectively used as a money exchanger, and funds can be managed efficiently.

In particular, the near-end value of denominations with less frequent exchange requests is
Because the suspension is set sufficiently low, it is the first time for the staff to do so! After replenishing ILJ, the near-end value can be maintained sufficiently long, and the number of times the clerk replenishes coins will definitely decrease.

The aforementioned coin takeout section 12 includes therein a hanger device 16 for taking out the cylindrical coins 13, a coin discharge box 17 and a coin collection box 18 for receiving the taken out cylindrical coins 13.

The above-described hanger device 16 has upper and lower sprockets 19.

The coin/1 coin is discharged to the output box 17. Now, in the second step 52, the VJ! is released in response to the customer's input operation! Determine whether the coin is a 500 yen coin or not,
If it is a 500 yen coin, in the third step 53, 500 yenlii! Cargo storage shelf 14
It is determined whether or not there is one stage remaining in d, and if there are two stages remaining, the process jumps to the eighth step 58, and if there is one stage remaining, in the fourth step 54, the number of items to be taken out from the storage shelf 14d is determined. If the number of bottles to be taken out is 8 or less, the process jumps to the eighth step 58, and if the number to be taken out is 8 or more, the near-end value is set in the fifth step 55, and the operator is notified of 5.
Notify the user to replenish the supply of 00 yen coins.

After the near-end value is determined to be 1:9, the sixth step 5
In step 6, the number of items taken out from the storage 41114d is checked again, and if the number of items taken out is 12 or less, the process goes to the eighth step 5.
8, and if the number to be taken out is 12 or more, the end value is set in the seventh step 57, and the number is 5.
The transaction of the 00 yen coin is temporarily stopped and the person in charge is notified of the suspension of the transaction.Then, after setting the end value, in the eighth step 58, check whether all denominations from the transaction with the customer have been released. , or not, and if all the denominations resulting from the transaction with the customer are released, the transaction is completed.

However, if release of other denominations is necessary, the first
Returning to step 51, the processing from this step onwards is performed.

However, based on the fact that coins other than 500 yen coins were released in the second step 52 described above, the ninth step 5

4C determines whether there is one remaining stage or not. If there are two stages remaining, the process jumps to the eighth step 58. If there is one stage remaining, at the eleventh step 61, the number of items to be taken out from the storage shelf i4c is determined. If the number of coins taken out is one or less, the process jumps to the eighth step 58. If the number of coins taken out is one or more, the process goes to the twelfth step 62, where the near-end value is set and the staff is supplied with 50 yen coins. Inform them to do so.

After setting the near-end value, the number of items taken out from the storage shelf 14c is checked in a thirteenth step 63, and if the number of items taken out is 11 or less, the process jumps to the eighth step 58, and if the number of items taken out is 11 or more, the number of items taken out is checked. If so, in a fourteenth step 64, an end value is set, thereby temporarily stopping the transaction of the 50 yen coin, and notifying the clerk of the transaction suspension. After setting the end value, in an eighth step 58, it is determined whether or not all the denominations in the transaction with the customer have been released, and if all the denominations have been released, the transaction is completed.
