A coin dispensing mode for dispensing to the mouth 33, a coin scrutinizing mode for scrutinizing the number of coins stored in the storing and feeding sections 27a to 27f, and the like can be selected and set.

次に、収納繰出部２７ａ〜２７ｆについて、主に図６〜図８を参照して説明する。なお、収納繰出部２７ａ〜２７ｆはすべて同様の構造であるため、以下においては、収納繰出部２７ａを例示して説明する。   Next, the storing and feeding parts 27a to 27f will be described mainly with reference to FIGS. The storage / feeding portions 27a to 27f all have the same structure, and therefore the storage / feeding portion 27a will be described below as an example.

収納繰出部２７ａは、下部に設けられた第１の収納部５１と、上部つまり第１の収納部５１の上方に設けられた第２の収納部５２とを有している。   The storage / feeding-out portion 27 a has a first storage portion 51 provided in the lower portion and a second storage portion 52 provided in the upper portion, that is, above the first storage portion 51.

第１の収納部５１は、収納繰出部２７ａ内のベルトコンベア３１よりも下側、且つ水平方向におけるベルトコンベア３１とは反対側に水平に配置されるベルトコンベア５３を有している。このベルトコンベア５３は、その搬送方向が、ベルトコンベア３１の搬送方向に直交する方向に沿い且つベルトコンベア３１に向かう方向となっている。   The first storage unit 51 includes a belt conveyor 53 disposed horizontally below the belt conveyor 31 in the storage and feeding unit 27a and on the side opposite to the belt conveyor 31 in the horizontal direction. The conveying direction of the belt conveyor 53 is along the direction orthogonal to the conveying direction of the belt conveyor 31 and toward the belt conveyor 31.

第２の収納部５２は、第１の収納部５１とは分離して硬貨を収納可能なもので、収納繰出部２７ａ内の水平方向におけるベルトコンベア３１とは反対側に設けられている。第２の収納部５２は、上下に開口する筒状の胴部５５と、胴部５５の下部開口部を開閉するスライド開閉可能なシャッタ５６とを有している。胴部５５は、ベルトコンベア３１側の壁部５５ａが下部ほどベルトコンベア３１から水平方向において離れるように傾斜しており、その結果、下部開口部が収納繰出部２７ａ内の水平方向におけるベルトコンベア３１とは反対側に偏っている。この下部開口部を開閉するシャッタ５６は閉状態でベルトコンベア３１の上方に位置する。そして、壁部５５ａの傾斜により形成されたベルトコンベア３１側の空間に、底部を構成するシャッタ５６がスライドすることで下部開口部を開くようになっている。つまり、シャッタ５６は開時にベルトコンベア３１側であってベルトコンベア５３の硬貨搬送方向に移動する。   The second storage part 52 is separated from the first storage part 51 and can store coins, and is provided on the opposite side of the belt conveyor 31 in the horizontal direction in the storage and feeding part 27a. The second storage part 52 includes a cylindrical body part 55 that opens up and down, and a slidable shutter 56 that opens and closes a lower opening part of the body part 55. The body 55 is inclined so that the wall 55a on the belt conveyor 31 side is further away from the belt conveyor 31 in the horizontal direction as a lower portion, and as a result, the lower opening is in the belt conveyor 31 in the horizontal direction in the storage and feeding section 27a. It is biased to the opposite side. The shutter 56 that opens and closes the lower opening is positioned above the belt conveyor 31 in a closed state. And the lower opening part is opened by the shutter 56 which comprises a bottom part sliding in the space by the side of the belt conveyor 31 formed of the inclination of the wall part 55a. That is, the shutter 56 moves on the belt conveyor 31 side in the coin conveying direction of the belt conveyor 53 when opened.

ここで、第２の収納部５２は、上述した底部形成体２３が第１の位置にあって側壁部形成体２２が第２の位置に移動したときに、一時貯留部２１ａのみから硬貨（つまり入金され金種別に選別分類された一金種の硬貨）を胴部５５の上部開口部から受け入れることになり、シャッタ５６を開くことで硬貨を第１の収納部５１に受け渡す。その結果、第１の収納部５１は、入金され金種別に選別分類された一金種の硬貨を第２の収納部５２を介して受け入れ収納する。   Here, the second storage portion 52 is configured such that when the above-described bottom portion forming body 23 is in the first position and the side wall portion forming body 22 is moved to the second position, only the temporary storage portion 21a receives a coin (that is, The coins of one denomination that have been deposited and sorted according to the denomination are received from the upper opening of the body portion 55, and the coins are transferred to the first storage portion 51 by opening the shutter 56. As a result, the first storage unit 51 receives and stores coins of one denomination that have been deposited and sorted according to the denomination via the second storage unit 52.

第１の収納部５１のベルトコンベア５３のベルトコンベア３１側には、ベルトコンベア５３によって搬送され、その端末部から落下する硬貨を受け入れるとともに一枚ずつ分離して上方に搬送する繰出リフト（搬送手段）６０が設けられている。この繰出リフト６０は、上部が開口しベルトコンベア５３からの硬貨を受け入れるホッパ６１と、ホッパ６１のベルトコンベア５３とは反対側から鉛直上方に延びるリフト６２とを有している。ホッパ６１は、第２の収納部５２の開状態のシャッタ５６の下方に位置し、またリフト６２はベルトコンベア３１と第２の収納部５２との間を通ってこれらよりも上方まで延出している。   On the belt conveyor 31 side of the belt conveyor 53 of the first storage unit 51, a feeding lift (conveying means) that accepts coins that are transported by the belt conveyor 53 and that falls from the terminal portion and separates them one by one and transports them upward. ) 60 is provided. The feeding lift 60 has a hopper 61 that is open at the top and receives coins from the belt conveyor 53, and a lift 62 that extends vertically upward from the opposite side of the hopper 61 to the belt conveyor 53. The hopper 61 is positioned below the shutter 56 in the open state of the second storage unit 52, and the lift 62 extends between the belt conveyor 31 and the second storage unit 52 and above them. Yes.

リフト６２は、硬貨一枚が通過可能な内寸を有して鉛直延在するとともに、図７に示すように上端部に一側に開口する放出口６４が形成されたシャフト６５と、シャフト６５の放出口６４とは反対側に設けられホッパ６１内の硬貨Ｃを一枚ずつ係止してこのシャフト６５の案内で上昇搬送するリフトベルト６６とを有している。リフトベルト６６には硬貨Ｃを下側から係止しつつシャフト６５内で上昇移動する係止片６７が所定の間隔で複数形成されている。各係止片６７は、係止した硬貨Ｃをその自重で放出口６４から放出させるために、シャフト６５内にあるとき前下がりに傾斜する形状となっている。   The lift 62 has an inner dimension through which a single coin can pass and extends vertically. As shown in FIG. 7, the lift 62 has a shaft 65 in which a discharge port 64 opened to one side is formed at the upper end portion, and a shaft 65. The lift belt 66 is provided on the opposite side of the discharge port 64 and locks the coins C in the hopper 61 one by one and lifts and conveys them by the guide of the shaft 65. The lift belt 66 is formed with a plurality of locking pieces 67 that move upward in the shaft 65 while locking the coins C from below. Each locking piece 67 has a shape that inclines forward and downward when in the shaft 65 in order to release the locked coin C from the discharge port 64 by its own weight.

リフト６２の放出口６４の近傍には、リフトベルト６６によってリフト６２内を上昇する硬貨をその磁気的性質から金種鑑別および計数する鑑別部（鑑別手段）６９が設けられている。なお、この鑑別部６９の位置および係止片６７の間隔は、リフトベルト６６の係止片６７に係止された一の硬貨を鑑別部６９が検出した後、この硬貨を放出口６４から放出するタイミングでリフトベルト６６を停止させると、次の係止片６７で係止された硬貨Ｃを鑑別部６９が検出する状態、あるいは検出する手前の状態となるように設定されている。   In the vicinity of the discharge port 64 of the lift 62, a discrimination part (discriminating means) 69 is provided that discriminates and counts coins rising in the lift 62 by the lift belt 66 from the magnetic properties thereof. The position of the discrimination portion 69 and the interval between the locking pieces 67 are determined such that after the discrimination portion 69 detects one coin locked to the locking piece 67 of the lift belt 66, the coin is discharged from the discharge port 64. When the lift belt 66 is stopped at the timing, the discrimination unit 69 detects the coin C locked by the next locking piece 67 or a state before detection.

また、リフト６２の放出口６４の開口側には、鑑別部６９による鑑別および計数後に放出口６４から放出される硬貨を、図６に示す第２の収納部５２と、ベルトコンベア３１およびその搬送先である出金口３３とに選択的に振り分ける図８に示す振分シュート（硬貨振分手段）７０が設けられている。この振分シュート７０は、リフト６２の放出口６４から放出された硬貨を上部から受け入れる一方、下部に硬貨の放出のため二叉に開口する第１の放出口７１と第２の放出口７２とが設けられたガイド７３と、ガイド７３の中に揺動可能に設けられて硬貨の放出先を第１の放出口７１および第２の放出口７２に選択的に振り分ける切替部材７４とを有している。振分シュート７０は、第１の放出口７１がベルトコンベア３１つまり出金口３３側に硬貨を放出可能に配置され、第２の放出口７２が第２の収納部５２に硬貨を放出可能に配置されている。   In addition, on the opening side of the discharge port 64 of the lift 62, coins discharged from the discharge port 64 after discrimination and counting by the discrimination unit 69 are transferred to the second storage unit 52 shown in FIG. A sorting chute (coin sorting means) 70 shown in FIG. 8 is provided to selectively distribute to the withdrawal port 33 that is the tip. The sorting chute 70 accepts coins discharged from the discharge port 64 of the lift 62 from above, while the first discharge port 71 and the second discharge port 72 that are bifurcated at the bottom for discharging coins, And a switching member 74 that is provided in the guide 73 so as to be swingable and selectively distributes the coin discharge destination to the first discharge port 71 and the second discharge port 72. ing. The sorting chute 70 is arranged so that the first discharge port 71 can discharge coins to the belt conveyor 31, that is, the withdrawal port 33 side, and the second discharge port 72 can discharge coins to the second storage unit 52. Has been placed.

次に、第１実施形態の制御装置２８の制御内容を説明する。
ここで、一時貯留部２１ａ〜２１ｆを構成する側壁部形成体２２および底部形成体２３については、振分部１３ａ〜１３ｆの下方の第１の位置を基本位置としており、側壁部形成体２２および底部形成体２３を移動させた後には、必ずこれらを基本位置に戻して移動を完了する（図３に示す位置）。 Next, the control content of the control apparatus 28 of 1st Embodiment is demonstrated.
Here, about the side wall part formation body 22 and the bottom part formation body 23 which comprise the temporary storage parts 21a-21f, the 1st position below the distribution part 13a-13f is made into the basic position, and the side wall part formation body 22 and After the bottom forming body 23 is moved, these are always returned to the basic position to complete the movement (position shown in FIG. 3).

「選別計数モード」
まず、表示操作部２９への適宜の入力で選別計数モードが選択設定された場合を説明する。 "Selection counting mode"
First, the case where the selection counting mode is selected and set by appropriate input to the display operation unit 29 will be described.

選別計数モードが選択設定された状態で表示操作部２９へのスタート操作が入力されると、制御装置２８は、分離供給部５のホッパ６に金種混合で投入された硬貨を、回転円盤７の回転による遠心力によって硬貨分離部８が一枚ずつ繰り出すことになり、その後、識別部１１で識別することになる。そして、この識別部１１の識別結果に基づいて受け入れ不可と識別されたリジェクト硬貨を、すべてリジェクト部１２でリジェクトボックス２０に返却する一方、受け入れ可能と識別された真の硬貨を、金種別に選別して振り分けるように振分部１３ａ〜１３ｆを制御する。   When a start operation is input to the display operation unit 29 in a state where the selection counting mode is selected and set, the control device 28 uses the coins put into the hopper 6 of the separation supply unit 5 by denomination mixing to the rotary disk 7. The coin separation unit 8 is fed out one by one by the centrifugal force due to the rotation of the rotation, and then the identification unit 11 identifies the coin separation unit 8. Then, all reject coins identified as unacceptable based on the identification result of the identification unit 11 are returned to the reject box 20 by the reject unit 12, while true coins identified as acceptable are sorted by denomination. Then, the sorting units 13a to 13f are controlled so as to sort them.

つまり、識別部１１で１円硬貨と識別された硬貨を、振分部１３ａのシャッタ１５ａを開いて選別孔１４ａから一時貯留部２１ａに一時貯留させる。また、識別部１１で５円硬貨と識別された硬貨を、シャッタ１５ａを閉状態として振分部１３ａを通過させ、振分部１３ｂのシャッタ１５ｂを開いて選別孔１４ｂから一時貯留部２１ｂに一時貯留させる。さらに、識別部１１で１０円硬貨と識別された硬貨を、シャッタ１５ａ，１５ｂを閉状態として振分部１３ａ，１３ｂを通過させ、振分部１３ｃのシャッタ１５ｃを開いて選別孔１４ｃから一時貯留部２１ｃに一時貯留させる。加えて、識別部１１で５０円硬貨と識別された硬貨を、シャッタ１５ａ〜１５ｃを閉状態として振分部１３ａ〜１３ｃを通過させ、振分部１３ｄのシャッタ１５ｄを開いて選別孔１４ｄから一時貯留部２１ｄに一時貯留させる。また、識別部１１で１００円硬貨と識別された硬貨を、シャッタ１５ａ〜１５ｄを閉状態として振分部１３ａ〜１３ｄを通過させ、振分部１３ｅのシャッタ１５ｅを開いて選別孔１４ｅから一時貯留部２１ｅに一時貯留させる。さらに、識別部１１で５００円硬貨と識別された硬貨を、シャッタ１５ａ〜１５ｅを閉状態として振分部１３ａ〜１３ｅを通過させ、振分部１３ｆの選別孔１４ｆから一時貯留部２１ｆに一時貯留させる。なお、一時貯留部２１ａ〜２１ｆへの各金種の振り分けのパターンは常に一定であれば上記に限らず他の設定としても良い。   That is, the coins identified as one-yen coins by the identification unit 11 are temporarily stored in the temporary storage unit 21a from the sorting hole 14a by opening the shutter 15a of the distribution unit 13a. Further, the coin identified as the 5-yen coin by the identification unit 11 is allowed to pass through the sorting unit 13a with the shutter 15a closed, and the shutter 15b of the sorting unit 13b is opened to temporarily store the coin from the sorting hole 14b to the temporary storage unit 21b. Store. Further, the coins identified as 10-yen coins by the identifying unit 11 are passed through the sorting units 13a and 13b with the shutters 15a and 15b closed, and the shutter 15c of the sorting unit 13c is opened and temporarily stored from the sorting hole 14c. The part 21c is temporarily stored. In addition, the coins identified as 50-yen coins by the identification unit 11 are allowed to pass through the sorting units 13a to 13c with the shutters 15a to 15c closed, and the shutter 15d of the sorting unit 13d is opened to temporarily pass through the sorting hole 14d. The reservoir 21d is temporarily stored. Further, the coins identified as 100-yen coins by the identification unit 11 are allowed to pass through the sorting units 13a to 13d with the shutters 15a to 15d closed, and the shutter 15e of the sorting unit 13e is opened to temporarily store the coins from the sorting hole 14e. The part 21e is temporarily stored. Furthermore, the coins identified as 500 yen coins by the identification unit 11 are passed through the sorting units 13a to 13e with the shutters 15a to 15e closed, and temporarily stored in the temporary storage unit 21f from the sorting holes 14f of the sorting unit 13f. Let In addition, as long as the pattern of distribution of each denomination to the temporary storage units 21a to 21f is always constant, the setting is not limited to the above and may be other settings.

そして、この一の入金処理でホッパ６に投入された硬貨のうち識別部１１の識別結果に基づいて受け入れ可能と識別された真の硬貨がすべて、一時貯留部２１ａ〜２１ｆに金種別に一時貯留されると、その後、金種別の計数結果および合計金額を表示操作部２９へ表示させ、操作者により表示操作部２９へキャンセル操作が入力されると、制御装置２８は、側壁部形成体２２は第１の位置に停止させたまま、図４に示すように、駆動機構部３９によって底部形成体２３を第２の位置に移動させることで、一時貯留部２１ａ〜２１ｆに金種別に一時貯留させていた硬貨を金種別のまま返却ボックス２６の返却収容部２４ａ〜２４ｆの対応するものに受け渡す。すると、操作者は、返却ボックス２６を取り出して返却硬貨を受け取る。そして、一時貯留部２１ａ〜２１ｆから返却ボックス２６に硬貨を受け渡した後、制御装置２８は、駆動機構部３９で底部形成体２３を基本位置である第１の位置に戻す。   And all the true coins identified as acceptable based on the identification result of the identification unit 11 among the coins inserted into the hopper 6 in this one deposit process are temporarily stored in the temporary storage units 21a to 21f in denominations. Then, the counting result of the money type and the total amount are displayed on the display operation unit 29, and when the cancel operation is input to the display operation unit 29 by the operator, the control device 28 causes the side wall portion forming body 22 to While stopping at the first position, as shown in FIG. 4, by temporarily moving the bottom forming body 23 to the second position by the drive mechanism 39, the temporary storage sections 21 a to 21 f are temporarily stored in denominations. The transferred coins are transferred to the corresponding ones of the return accommodation units 24a to 24f of the return box 26 in the denomination. Then, the operator takes out the return box 26 and receives a return coin. And after delivering a coin from the temporary storage parts 21a-21f to the return box 26, the control apparatus 28 returns the bottom part formation body 23 to the 1st position which is a basic position with the drive mechanism part 39. FIG.

他方、操作者により表示操作部２９へ承認操作が入力されると、制御装置２８は、各一時貯留部２１ａ〜２１ｆに金種別で一時貯留させた硬貨を、収納繰出部２７ａ〜２７ｆに受け渡す。つまり、第１の位置にあった底部形成体２３はそのままで、図５に示すように、駆動機構部３６で側壁部形成体２２を第２の位置へ水平移動させることにより、一時貯留部２１ａ〜２１ｆに金種別に一時貯留させていた硬貨を金種別のまま収納繰出部２７ａ〜２７ｆの対応するものに受け渡す。つまり、入金された硬貨を金種別に選別分類して金種別の収納繰出部２７ａ〜２７ｆに収納する。このとき、すべての収納繰出部２７ａ〜２７ｆにおいて、シャッタ５６が閉塞された状態で待機する上部の第２の収納部５２内に硬貨が投入されることになる。そして、一時貯留部２１ａ〜２１ｆから収納繰出部２７ａ〜２７ｆに硬貨を受け渡した後、制御装置２８は、駆動機構部３６で側壁部形成体２２を基本位置である第１の位置に戻す。   On the other hand, when an approval operation is input to the display operation unit 29 by the operator, the control device 28 transfers the coins temporarily stored in the temporary storage units 21a to 21f by denomination to the storage and feeding units 27a to 27f. . That is, as shown in FIG. 5, the bottom portion forming body 23 in the first position is left as it is, and the side wall portion forming body 22 is horizontally moved to the second position by the drive mechanism portion 36, thereby temporarily storing the portion 21a. The coins temporarily stored in the money type in 21f are transferred to the corresponding ones of the storage and feeding sections 27a to 27f in the money type. That is, the received coins are sorted and classified according to denomination and stored in the denomination storing and feeding sections 27a to 27f. At this time, in all the storing and feeding sections 27a to 27f, coins are thrown into the upper second storing section 52 that stands by with the shutter 56 closed. And after delivering a coin from the temporary storage parts 21a-21f to the accommodation | feeding-out delivery parts 27a-27f, the control apparatus 28 returns the side wall part formation body 22 to the 1st position which is a basic position with the drive mechanism part 36. FIG.

「硬貨出金モード」
表示操作部２９への適宜の入力で硬貨出金モードが選択設定された場合を説明する。 "Coin withdrawal mode"
A case where the coin dispensing mode is selected and set by appropriate input to the display operation unit 29 will be described.

硬貨出金モードが選択され出金の金種別の硬貨枚数が設定された状態で表示操作部２９へのスタート操作が入力されると、制御装置２８は、まず、第２の収納部５２内に収納していた全硬貨を、図６に二点鎖線で示すようにシャッタ５６を開作動させることで第１の収納部５１のベルトコンベア５３上に放出する。なお、上記した選別計数処理時に第２の収納部５２内の硬貨を第１の収納部５１に受け渡すようにしても良い。   When a start operation is input to the display operation unit 29 in a state where the coin dispensing mode is selected and the number of coins of the type of withdrawal is set, the control device 28 first enters the second storage unit 52. All the coins stored are discharged onto the belt conveyor 53 of the first storage unit 51 by opening the shutter 56 as shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG. Note that coins in the second storage unit 52 may be delivered to the first storage unit 51 during the above-described sorting and counting process.

次に、制御装置２８は、収納繰出部２７ａ〜２７ｆのうちの出金対象のものについて、表示操作部２９によって設定された硬貨出金モードに対応して、図６に示すように切替部材７４を第１の放出口７１側に硬貨を案内する状態とし、ベルトコンベア５３および繰出リフト６０のリフトベルト６６を振分シュート７０に向けて硬貨を搬送する方向に駆動するとともに、ベルトコンベア３１を、下限位置で待機するエレベータ３２に向けて硬貨を搬送する方向に駆動する。   Next, the control device 28 corresponds to the coin dispensing mode set by the display operation unit 29 of the storage and feeding units 27a to 27f and corresponds to the coin dispensing mode as shown in FIG. In the state where the coins are guided to the first discharge port 71 side, the belt conveyor 53 and the lift belt 66 of the feeding lift 60 are driven toward the sorting chute 70 in the direction of conveying the coins, and the belt conveyor 31 is It drives in the direction which conveys a coin toward the elevator 32 which waits in a lower limit position.

すると、収納繰出部２７ａ〜２７ｆのうちの出金対象のものにおいて、第１の収納部５１のベルトコンベア５３上の硬貨が繰出リフト６０のホッパ６１内に放出されるとともに、ホッパ６１内の硬貨が、繰出リフト６０のリフトベルト６６の複数の係止片６７それぞれによって一枚ずつに分離されてリフト６２内を上昇し、その途中で、鑑別部６９によって金種鑑別および計数が行われ、その後、放出口６４から振分シュート７０内に放出される。すると、硬貨は振分シュート７０の切替部材７４で、図６に矢印で示すように第１の放出口７１に案内されてベルトコンベア３１上に放出される。   As a result, coins on the belt conveyor 53 of the first storage unit 51 are discharged into the hopper 61 of the supply lift 60 and coins in the hopper 61 in the one to be dispensed among the storage and feeding units 27a to 27f. However, they are separated one by one by the plurality of locking pieces 67 of the lift belt 66 of the feeding lift 60 and ascend in the lift 62. On the way, the discrimination section 69 performs denomination and counting. , And discharged from the discharge port 64 into the sorting chute 70. Then, the coin is guided to the first discharge port 71 by the switching member 74 of the sorting chute 70 and is discharged onto the belt conveyor 31 as indicated by an arrow in FIG.

制御装置２８は、出金対象の枚数の最後の硬貨を鑑別部６９で鑑別しこれを繰出リフト６０の放出口６４から放出させるタイミングで、繰出リフト６０を停止させることになり、このようにして、収納繰出部２７ａ〜２７ｆのうち出金対象の硬貨を収納しているものすべてから出金対象の枚数の硬貨をすべてベルトコンベア３１に繰り出させ、ベルトコンベア３１ですべての硬貨をエレベータ３２に受け渡すと、制御装置２８は、ベルトコンベア３１を停止させるとともに、エレベータ３２を上昇させて出金口３３に硬貨を放出する。これにより、出金口３３から出金対象の金種および枚数の硬貨が取り出し可能となる。   The control device 28 discriminates the last coin to be dispensed by the discrimination unit 69 and stops the feeding lift 60 at a timing when the coin is discharged from the discharge port 64 of the feeding lift 60, in this way. , All the coins to be withdrawn from all of the storing and feeding units 27a to 27f that store the coins to be withdrawn are fed out to the belt conveyor 31, and all the coins are received by the elevator 32 by the belt conveyor 31. When handed over, the control device 28 stops the belt conveyor 31 and raises the elevator 32 to discharge coins to the withdrawal port 33. As a result, the denomination and number of coins to be withdrawn can be taken out from the withdrawal port 33.

「硬貨精査モード」
次に、表示操作部２９への適宜の入力で硬貨精査モードが選択設定された場合を説明する。 "Coin review mode"
Next, a case where the coin scrutiny mode is selected and set by appropriate input to the display operation unit 29 will be described.

硬貨精査モードが選択された状態で表示操作部２９へのスタート操作が入力されると、制御装置２８は、まず、収納繰出部２７ａ〜２７ｆのすべてについて、図９に二点鎖線で示すように、第２の収納部５２内に収納していた全硬貨をシャッタ５６を開作動させることで第１の収納部５１のベルトコンベア５３上に放出する。なお、この場合も、上記した選別計数処理時に常に第２の収納部５２内の硬貨を第１の収納部５１に受け渡すようにしても良い。いずれにしても、硬貨精査モードの開始にあたっては第２の収納部５２内に硬貨がない状態とする。   When a start operation is input to the display operation unit 29 in a state where the coin scrutiny mode is selected, the control device 28 first displays all of the storage and feeding units 27a to 27f as indicated by two-dot chain lines in FIG. All the coins stored in the second storage unit 52 are released onto the belt conveyor 53 of the first storage unit 51 by opening the shutter 56. In this case as well, coins in the second storage unit 52 may always be transferred to the first storage unit 51 during the above-described sorting and counting process. In any case, at the start of the coin scrutiny mode, it is assumed that there is no coin in the second storage unit 52.

次に、制御装置２８は、収納繰出部２７ａ〜２７ｆのすべてについて、表示操作部２９によって設定された硬貨精査モードに対応して、図９に示すように切替部材７４を第２の放出口７２側に硬貨を案内する状態にするとともに、並行して第１の収納部５１のベルトコンベア５３および繰出リフト６０のリフトベルト６６を振分シュート７０に向けて硬貨を搬送する方向に駆動する。ベルトコンベア３１は停止状態を維持する。   Next, the control device 28 sets the switching member 74 to the second discharge port 72 as shown in FIG. 9 corresponding to the coin scrutiny mode set by the display operation unit 29 for all of the storage and feeding units 27a to 27f. While the coins are guided to the side, the belt conveyor 53 of the first storage unit 51 and the lift belt 66 of the feeding lift 60 are driven in the direction of conveying the coins toward the sorting chute 70 in parallel. The belt conveyor 31 maintains a stopped state.

すると、収納繰出部２７ａ〜２７ｆのそれぞれにおいて、第１の収納部５１のベルトコンベア５３上の硬貨が繰出リフト６０のホッパ６１内に放出されるとともに、ホッパ６１内の硬貨が、繰出リフト６０のリフトベルト６６の複数の係止片６７それぞれによって一枚ずつリフト６２内を上昇し、その途中で、鑑別部６９によって金種鑑別および計数が行われ、その後、放出口６４から振分シュート７０内に放出される。すると、硬貨は振分シュート７０の切替部材７４で、図９に矢印で示すように第２の放出口７２に案内されて、第２の収納部５２内に放出される。このとき、第２の収納部５２のシャッタ５６は閉状態にあり、硬貨は第２の収納部５２内に収納される。そして、収納繰出部２７ａ〜２７ｆのそれぞれにおいて、第１の収納部５１のベルトコンベア５３上に硬貨が存在しなくなったことが図示略のセンサにより検出されると、制御装置２８は、ベルトコンベア５３を停止させることになり、また、その後、鑑別部６９で硬貨を検出しなくなってから所定時間経過すると、繰出リフト６０および第１の収納部５１のすべての硬貨が同じ収納繰出部を構成する第２の収納部５２に収納されたと判断して、制御装置２８は、繰出リフト６０のリフトベルト６６を停止させる。そして、すべての収納繰出部２７ａ〜２７ｆの鑑別部６９による鑑別結果を表示操作部２９に表示させるとともに、記憶部に記憶させる。   Then, in each of the storage and feeding sections 27a to 27f, coins on the belt conveyor 53 of the first storage section 51 are discharged into the hopper 61 of the feeding lift 60, and coins in the hopper 61 are transferred to the feeding lift 60. Each of the plurality of locking pieces 67 of the lift belt 66 ascends in the lift 62 one by one. In the middle of the lift 62, denomination and counting are performed by the discrimination unit 69. To be released. Then, the coin is guided to the second discharge port 72 by the switching member 74 of the sorting chute 70 as indicated by an arrow in FIG. 9 and discharged into the second storage portion 52. At this time, the shutter 56 of the second storage unit 52 is in a closed state, and coins are stored in the second storage unit 52. When it is detected by a sensor (not shown) that no coin is present on the belt conveyor 53 of the first storage unit 51 in each of the storage and feeding units 27a to 27f, the control device 28 causes the belt conveyor 53 to After that, when a predetermined time elapses after no coin is detected by the discrimination unit 69, all the coins in the feeding lift 60 and the first storage unit 51 constitute the same storage and feeding unit. The control device 28 determines that it is stored in the second storage portion 52 and stops the lift belt 66 of the feeding lift 60. And the discrimination result by the discrimination part 69 of all the accommodation feeding parts 27a-27f is displayed on the display operation part 29, and is memorize | stored in a memory | storage part.

その後、制御装置２８は、ベルトコンベア５３およびリフトベルト６６を停止状態のまま、図９に二点鎖線で示すように、第２の収納部５２のシャッタ５６を開放して、第２の収納部５２の全硬貨を落下により第１の収納部５１のベルトコンベア５３上に戻した後、シャッタ５６を閉状態として、硬貨精査モードを終了する。   Thereafter, while the belt conveyor 53 and the lift belt 66 are stopped, the control device 28 opens the shutter 56 of the second storage unit 52 as shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG. After all the 52 coins are dropped onto the belt conveyor 53 of the first storage unit 51 by dropping, the shutter 56 is closed and the coin scrutiny mode is terminated.

なお、精査処理中に、異金種硬貨を鑑別部６１が検出した場合には、この異金種硬貨については切替部材７４によって第１の放出口７１に案内し、停止状態のベルトコンベア３１に繰り出すことになる。そして、制御装置２８は、このような異金種硬貨が精査処理で検出された場合には、この異金種硬貨をベルトコンベア３１で出金回収部に回収する。   In addition, when the discrimination part 61 detects a different denomination coin during the scrutiny processing, this different denomination coin is guided to the first discharge port 71 by the switching member 74, and the belt conveyor 31 is stopped. It will be paid out. And when such a different denomination coin is detected by a close examination process, the control apparatus 28 collect | recovers this different denomination coin in the payment collection | recovery part by the belt conveyor 31. FIG.

以上により、制御装置２８は、表示操作部２９によって硬貨精査モードが設定された場合、第１の収納部５１および繰出リフト６０の硬貨、つまり第２の収納部５２以外にある硬貨を、繰出リフト６０によって一枚ずつ分離して搬送し鑑別部６９で金種鑑別および計数して、振分シュート７０により第２の収納部５２に収納した後、シャッタ５６の開作動によって第１の収納部５１に戻す精査処理を、全金種の収納繰出部２７ａ〜２７ｆについて並行して行わせる。   As described above, when the coin close-up mode is set by the display operation unit 29, the control device 28 uses the coins in the first storage unit 51 and the supply lift 60, that is, the coins other than the second storage unit 52, to the supply lift. The sheet is separated and conveyed one by one by 60, denominated and counted by the discrimination unit 69, and stored in the second storage unit 52 by the sorting chute 70, and then the first storage unit 51 is opened by opening the shutter 56. The scrutinization processing to return to is performed in parallel for the storage and feeding parts 27a to 27f of all denominations.

以上に述べた第１実施形態の硬貨入出金機１によれば、金種別の収納繰出部２７ａ〜２７ｆのそれぞれについて、硬貨を、第１の収納部５１から、繰出リフト６０によって一枚ずつ分離して搬送しつつ、鑑別部６９によって金種鑑別および計数し、振分シュート７０によって出金口３３側に振り分ければ、出金することができる。また、金種別の収納繰出部２７ａ〜２７ｆのそれぞれについて、硬貨を、第１の収納部５１から、繰出リフト６０によって一枚ずつ分離して搬送しつつ、鑑別部６９によって金種鑑別および計数し、振分シュート７０によって、第１の収納部５１とは分離して硬貨を収納可能な第２の収納部５２に振り分ければ、精査処理を行うことができる。しかも、その後に第２の収納部５２から底部のシャッタ５６の開作動によって第１の収納部５１のベルトコンベア５３上に硬貨を戻せば再び出金口３３への出金が可能な状態となる。そして、第１の収納部５１、第２の収納部５２、繰出リフト６０、鑑別部６９および振分シュート７０が金種別の収納繰出部２７ａ〜２７ｆのそれぞれに設けられており、硬貨精査モードが設定された場合に、制御装置２８が全金種の収納繰出部２７ａ〜２７ｆに並行して精査処理を行わせるため、精査処理を短時間で行うことができる。   According to the coin depositing and dispensing machine 1 of the first embodiment described above, the coins are separated one by one from the first storage unit 51 by the feeding lift 60 for each of the denomination storing and feeding units 27a to 27f. Then, it is possible to withdraw money by identifying and counting the denomination by the discriminating unit 69 and distributing it to the withdrawal port 33 side by the sorting chute 70 while being conveyed. Further, for each of the storing and feeding parts 27a to 27f of each denomination, coins are discriminated and counted by the discriminating part 69 while being separated and conveyed one by one by the feeding lift 60 from the first storing part 51. If the distribution chute 70 distributes the coins to the second storage part 52 that can be separated from the first storage part 51 and can store the coins, it is possible to perform a scrutiny process. In addition, when coins are subsequently returned from the second storage unit 52 to the belt conveyor 53 of the first storage unit 51 by opening the shutter 56 at the bottom, it becomes possible to withdraw money to the withdrawal port 33 again. . And the 1st accommodating part 51, the 2nd accommodating part 52, the delivery lift 60, the discrimination part 69, and the distribution chute | shooting 70 are provided in each of the money-type accommodation delivery parts 27a-27f, and coin scrutiny mode is set. When set, the control device 28 causes the denomination storage units 27a to 27f of all denominations to perform the scrutiny process in parallel, so that the scrutiny process can be performed in a short time.

また、第１の収納部５１のベルトコンベア５３の搬送方向と、第２の収納部５２のシャッタ５６の開時の移動方向とが同じとされるため、硬貨の落下時の衝撃を吸収するために第２の収納部５２の閉状態でのシャッタ５６の位置（つまり硬貨の放出位置）の下方にベルトコンベア５３を配置しても、シャッタ５６の開作動のためのスペースと、ベルトコンベア５３の端末から落下する硬貨を受け入れる繰出リフト６０とを水平方向に位置を合わせることができ、水平方向にコンパクトに配置できる。   In addition, since the transport direction of the belt conveyor 53 of the first storage unit 51 is the same as the movement direction of the second storage unit 52 when the shutter 56 is opened, in order to absorb the impact when the coin is dropped. Even if the belt conveyor 53 is disposed below the position of the shutter 56 (that is, the coin discharge position) when the second storage section 52 is closed, the space for opening the shutter 56 and the belt conveyor 53 The feeding lift 60 that accepts coins falling from the terminal can be aligned in the horizontal direction, and can be arranged compactly in the horizontal direction.

また、切替部材７４の向きを切り替えることで、硬貨の放出先をガイド７３の第１の放出口７１およびガイド７３の第２の放出口７２に選択的に振り分けるため、コンパクトな構成で硬貨を振り分けることができる。   In addition, by switching the direction of the switching member 74, the coins are selectively distributed to the first discharge port 71 of the guide 73 and the second discharge port 72 of the guide 73, so that the coins are distributed with a compact configuration. be able to.

また、表示操作部２９によって設定されたモードに基づいて制御装置２８が振分シュート７０の放出方向を制御するため、モードに合わせて振分シュート７０の放出方向を切り替えることができる。   Moreover, since the control apparatus 28 controls the discharge | release direction of the distribution chute 70 based on the mode set by the display operation part 29, the discharge | release direction of the distribution chute 70 can be switched according to a mode.

次に、本発明の第２実施形態の硬貨入出金機を主に図１０および図１１を参照して第１実施形態との相違部分を中心に以下に説明する。なお、第１実施形態と同様の部分には同一の符号を付し、その説明は略す。   Next, a coin depositing / dispensing machine according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described below mainly with reference to FIGS. 10 and 11 with a focus on differences from the first embodiment. In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the part similar to 1st Embodiment, and the description is abbreviate | omitted.

第２実施形態では、金種別の収納繰出部２７ａ〜２７ｆのそれぞれが、図１０および図１１に収納繰出部２７ａを例示するように、一部の構造を相違させている。   In the second embodiment, each of the denomination storage and feeding parts 27a to 27f has a part of the structure different so that the storage and feeding part 27a is illustrated in FIGS. 10 and 11.

第２実施形態においては、第１実施形態の振分シュート７０にかえて、繰出リフト６０の放出口６４から放出される硬貨を受け取って搬送するベルトコンベア（硬貨振分手段）７７が設けられている。このベルトコンベア７７は、ベルトコンベア３１の搬送方向に対して直交する方向に沿って水平に配置されており、一端がベルトコンベア３１上に、他端が第２の収納部５２上に、それぞれ配置されていて、制御装置２８で正逆回転が制御される。制御装置２８は、硬貨出金モードが選択された場合はベルトコンベア７７を正回転させて硬貨を図１０に矢印で示すようにベルトコンベア３１つまり出金口３３側に、硬貨精査モードが選択された場合はベルトコンベア７７を逆回転させて硬貨を図１１に矢印で示すように第２の収納部５２側に振り分ける。   In the second embodiment, instead of the sorting chute 70 of the first embodiment, a belt conveyor (coin sorting means) 77 for receiving and transporting coins discharged from the discharge port 64 of the feeding lift 60 is provided. Yes. The belt conveyor 77 is horizontally disposed along a direction orthogonal to the conveying direction of the belt conveyor 31, and one end is disposed on the belt conveyor 31 and the other end is disposed on the second storage unit 52. Thus, forward / reverse rotation is controlled by the control device 28. When the coin dispensing mode is selected, the control device 28 rotates the belt conveyor 77 in the forward direction, and the coin scrutiny mode is selected on the belt conveyor 31, that is, the dispensing port 33 side as shown by the arrow in FIG. 10. In this case, the belt conveyor 77 is rotated in the reverse direction and the coins are distributed to the second storage section 52 side as indicated by arrows in FIG.

以上に述べた第２実施形態の硬貨入出金機１によれば、制御装置２８の制御によってベルトコンベア７７の正逆回転を切り替えることで、第１の収納部５１および繰出リフト６０の硬貨の放出先を出金口３３側および第２の収納部５２側に選択的に振り分けることができるため、簡素な構成で硬貨を振り分けることができる。   According to the coin depositing and dispensing machine 1 of the second embodiment described above, the coins of the first storage unit 51 and the feeding lift 60 are released by switching the forward / reverse rotation of the belt conveyor 77 under the control of the control device 28. Since the tip can be selectively distributed to the withdrawal port 33 side and the second storage portion 52 side, coins can be distributed with a simple configuration.

次に、本発明の第３実施形態の硬貨入出金機を主に図１２および図１３を参照して第１実施形態との相違部分を中心に以下に説明する。なお、第１実施形態と同様の部分には同一の符号を付し、その説明は略す。   Next, a coin depositing / dispensing machine according to a third embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference mainly to FIGS. 12 and 13 focusing on the differences from the first embodiment. In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the part similar to 1st Embodiment, and the description is abbreviate | omitted.

第３実施形態では、金種別の収納繰出部２７ａ〜２７ｆのそれぞれが、図１２および図１３に収納繰出部２７ａを例示するように、一部の構造を相違させている。   In the third embodiment, each of the denomination storing and feeding parts 27a to 27f has a part of the structure different so that the storing and feeding part 27a is illustrated in FIGS.

第３実施形態においては、第１の収納部５１、第２の収納部５２および繰出リフト６０が第１実施形態に対して鏡面対称に配置されており、その結果、第２の収納部５２の胴部５５の傾斜する壁部５５ａがベルトコンベア３１とは反対側に配置され、シャッタ５６の開時の移動方向およびベルトコンベア５３の硬貨搬送方向もベルトコンベア３１とは反対の方向になっている。また、繰出リフト６０のリフト６２もベルトコンベア３１とは反対側に配置されている。   In 3rd Embodiment, the 1st accommodating part 51, the 2nd accommodating part 52, and the delivery lift 60 are arrange | positioned mirror-symmetrically with respect to 1st Embodiment, As a result, as a result of the 2nd accommodating part 52 The inclined wall portion 55a of the body portion 55 is disposed on the side opposite to the belt conveyor 31, and the moving direction when the shutter 56 is opened and the coin conveying direction of the belt conveyor 53 are also opposite to the belt conveyor 31. . Further, the lift 62 of the feeding lift 60 is also arranged on the side opposite to the belt conveyor 31.

そして、第１実施形態の振分シュート７０にかえて、繰出リフト６０の放出口６４から放出される硬貨を受け取って搬送する長尺のベルトコンベア（搬送手段）８０が設けられている。このベルトコンベア８０は、ベルトコンベア３１の搬送方向に対して直交する方向に沿って水平に配置されており、一端がベルトコンベア３１上に、他端が繰出リフト６０の放出口６４の放出前方に、中間部が第２の収納部５２上に、それぞれ配置されている。   In addition to the sorting chute 70 of the first embodiment, a long belt conveyor (conveying means) 80 that receives and conveys coins discharged from the discharge port 64 of the feeding lift 60 is provided. The belt conveyor 80 is disposed horizontally along a direction orthogonal to the conveying direction of the belt conveyor 31, one end being on the belt conveyor 31 and the other end being in front of the discharge port 64 of the feeding lift 60.
