Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a money management system, and more specifically, in a vending machine, the number of coins inserted and dispensed as well as the number of coins supplied are counted and calculated, and a change storage tube is installed. This invention relates to a money management system that automatically counts and manages the number of each coin in a coin.

1 Conventional technology] As a conventional curing control device for vending machines,
As described in Publication No. 558744, the number of change released is determined by the logical product of the change release command signal and the coin ejection signal, and the detection output when the change storage box is full or the inserted coin is used as change, and the change storage box is determined by the logical product of the change release command signal and the coin ejection signal. □The number of coins collected in the safe is counted by the respective denominations by the logical product of the collection command signal to be collected and the individual coin discharge detection signal of the change discharge detection output that is output when detecting the discharge of change coins, and the number of coins released. Some devices are equipped with a counting means that subtracts the number of coins inserted from the sum of the number of coins and the number of coins collected in the safe, automatically calculates the difference, and outputs the calculated value as the number of externally supplied coins.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, in the above-mentioned conventional technology, although the number of coins inserted and the number of coins dispensed can be determined, the number of coins in the change storage box cannot be determined.
The coins must be counted manually, and the number of coins in each denomination storage box is controlled by the stacking height of each denomination of coins, which has the drawback of being prone to errors.

[Object of the Invention] The purpose of the present invention is to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks of the prior art, and to calculate the number of coins to be inserted and dispensed as well as the number of coins to be supplied, and store each coin in a safe and a change storage box separately. To provide a money management system that counts, does not require manual labor, and is less prone to errors.

[Summary of the Invention] The money management system of the present invention is capable of sorting and storing external change and sales proceeds into change tubes by denomination through a coin mech. After storing a specified number of coins, the number of coins to be supplied and paid out is detected and recorded by the control unit, and the number of coins is distributed to the safe.

[Embodiments of the Invention] As shown in FIG. 1, the money management system for a vending machine of the present invention has functions such as overflow of inserted coins, sending of signals, and deletion of inventory functions in the vending machine for beverages, etc. A coin mech 1 that performs the above operations, a change assistant II2 that replenishes change under the control of a control unit 6 to be described later, a safe 3 that stores coins that cannot fit into the coin changer, a change cylinder lock unit 4 that stores change, and change. When the cylindrical coins are aligned, a unit 5 divides the coins paid out from the payout port of the coin mech into either the safe 3 or the change slot.
Receive signals necessary for money management from each unit,
The change auxiliary device 2, the change pipe opening unit 4, and the payout coin sorting unit 5 are controlled at the same time.
A control unit 6 that aggregates money management data, instructs the route man to replenish/dispense coins from the change tube in the coin mech, displays the aggregated data, and outputs the aggregated data to a display device, etc., which will be described later; and change management data aggregated by the control unit. At the same time, as shown in Figure 2, data flows from the headquarters 9 to the vending machine 8 equipped with this system, and vice versa, from the vending machine 8 to the headquarters 9. It is constructed by providing display means 7 such as a display, a printer, and a card for displaying or outputting time data master.

[Operation of the Invention] The configuration inside the vending machine for configuring the money management system of the present invention is as described above. First, the counting and management of coins deposited into the CoinMech 1 is performed as shown in FIG.
Deposit iNA for regular sales by customers who purchase products using vending machines, deposit iNB from change auxiliary machine 2 when there is no change in Coin Mech 1, and deposit iNC when change coins are lined up. The three types of deposits mentioned above, the payout of change 0υTA which is the difference between the total amount of coins inserted by the customer to purchase the product and the selling price of the product, and the fixed amount of change in the change tube in Coin Mech 1. In the above case, the safe 3 has the function of directly depositing the money iNA 0UTB and depositing the money 0υTC to the safe 3 when the change is arranged, and these operations are performed by the control unit 6, the coin mech 1, and the change box lock unit. 4 and payout coin components are control signals S1, change replenishment command signal S1, coin detection, change out, pulse switch, return escrow, change payout, deposit prohibition, overflow signal, etc., which are exchanged with unit 5.
2. The change arrangement signal S3 in the change cylinder, the payout of change, and the distribution of change to the safe are controlled by the control signal S4 as follows.

First, the counting and management of the deposits sorted and deposited into the change tube via the coin mech 1 is carried out by sending an overflow signal S1 from the sensor 12 installed in the change tube 11 when the amount of money deposited into the change tube 11 for each denomination reaches a certain amount. is sent to the control unit 6, and when the control unit 6 receives this signal, it sends out a control signal S4 and stores the overflowing change in the safe 3 0UTC.

Next, regarding the management of the number of change coins supplied while the vending machine is in operation, as shown in Fig.
) The sensor 12 counts whether the money has been deposited in the change tube 11,
When the change runs out, it prompts for replenishment and deposits a constant ff1 (N>
The results of the replenishment are sent to the control unit 6.

In arranging the change tubes 11 in the coin mech 1 and managing their payout or replenishment number, payouts are made by operating the inventory switch provided on the control unit 1 side and depositing money from the coin slot of the coin mech 1. On the control unit 6 side, the counting during normal sales operation and the counting of the number of deposits and withdrawals during lining up are managed separately.

The control unit 6 detects the removal and locking of the change tube 11 of the coin mech 1 and the change tube assembly of the change auxiliary device 2, and checks whether the locks are properly locked or whether the locked state has been disconnected in the middle. Record it in the recording means in the control unit.

The data displayed or recorded on the display 7 (printer) is, for example, for a 10 yen coin of one denomination, the sales amount is the difference between the customer's deposit iNA for regular sales and the change payout 0UTA for regular sales. The amount of sales is iNA-0UT8, and the number of coins inserted into Coin Mech 1 is the sum of the deposit iNA, the deposit iNB from the change auxiliary machine 2 when there is no change in the Coin Mech, and the deposit iNC when the change coins are lined up. Sum iNA + iNB + 1Nc - the number of coins inserted into the coin mech, and the number of coins staying in the change tube 11 in the coin mech 1 is the sum of the initial value (the number of 10 yen coins arranged in the coin mech at the time of money management initial start), the number of coins inserted, and the number of coins paid out N 1G+ (iNA+iNB+iNc)
-(0UTA+0UTB"0UTC)-The number of coins remaining, and the number of coins required to be sorted is the difference between the number of coins retained in CoinMech 1 and the initial value (iHA+iNB+iNc)-(OUT, A+
0UTB + 0UTC) - the number of coins required to be arranged, and the remaining number in the change auxiliary machine 2 is the change capacity NS when the change auxiliary machine 2 is initialized (when the change is full) and the change auxiliary machine when there is no change in the coin mech 1. The difference between the deposited iNB from 2 and the number of change auxiliary coins remaining in the machine is recorded, and as shown in Figure 2, when checking the total from headquarters 9, these data are read and recorded using an IC card. , the money ji3, the amount in the auxiliary tube assembly of the used change auxiliary machine, and the remainder of the coins for alignment are brought back to the headquarters 9, where the total is checked. At this time, a change tube assembly for the change auxiliary device 2 and coins for alignment are taken out from the headquarters 9. The respective amounts of the safe, change tube assembly, and balance for alignment are all returned from the control unit 6 as hard copy data on a display 7 including a typewriter.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, the money management system of the present invention separates and stores change and sales proceeds from the outside into the change tubes by denomination through the coin mech. After storing a specific number of coins of each type, the control unit detects and records the replenishment and withdrawal of coins that are stored in the safe after storing a specific amount of coins. The number of sheets of each type is recorded, which has the effect of making it difficult for errors in sales proceeds and fraud during collection to occur.
