Description

本発明は硬貨処理装置及び自動取引装置に関し、例えば顧客に紙幣や硬貨を投入させて所望の取引を行う現金自動預払機(ATM:Automatic Teller Machine)に適用して好適なものである。 The present invention relates to a coin processing device and an automatic transaction device, and is suitable for application to, for example, an automatic teller machine (ATM) in which a customer inserts banknotes or coins and performs a desired transaction.

従来、金融機関等で使用される現金自動預払機等においては、顧客との取引内容に応じて、例えば顧客に紙幣や硬貨等の現金を入金させ、また顧客へ現金を出金するものが広く普及している。この現金自動預払機としては、例えば硬貨に関する処理を行う硬貨処理装置を内部に有するものがある。硬貨処理装置は、例えば顧客との間で硬貨の授受を行う入出金部と、硬貨を搬送する搬送部と、投入された硬貨の金種や真偽等を識別する識別部(認識部とも呼ぶ)と、金種毎に硬貨を収納する収納部(スタッカ部とも呼ぶ)等を有するものが提案されている。そのような硬貨処理装置においては、筒状のスタッカ部に上方から硬貨を収納するものが提案されている(例えば、特許文献1参照)。 Traditionally, automatic teller machines used in financial institutions, etc., have been widely used to allow customers to deposit cash such as banknotes and coins, or to withdraw cash to customers, depending on the content of the transaction with the customer. It is widespread. Some automatic teller machines have an internal coin processing device that processes coins, for example. The coin processing device includes, for example, a deposit/withdrawal section that exchanges coins with customers, a conveyance section that conveys the coins, and an identification section (also called a recognition section) that identifies the denomination, authenticity, etc. of the inserted coins. ) and a storage section (also called a stacker section) for storing coins of each denomination have been proposed. Among such coin processing devices, one has been proposed in which coins are stored from above in a cylindrical stacker portion (for example, see Patent Document 1).

このような硬貨処理装置としては、例えば、図2に示す硬貨処理装置110がある。入金取引において硬貨処理装置110は、顧客によって入出金部13に投入された入金硬貨を上分離部15と認識搬送部16とを通過させて一時保留部23へ搬送する。その後、顧客が入金を承認すると、硬貨処理装置110は、入金硬貨を一時保留部23から上分離部15と認識搬送部16とを通過させてスタッカ部21(スタッカ部21A~21F)へ搬送することにより、各スタッカ部21において硬貨を一列に重ねて収納する筒収納部が3つ配された筒収納部回転体における、所定の受入位置に位置している筒収納部に収納する。硬貨処理装置110は、入金硬貨を全てスタッカ部21の筒収納部に収納し切るか、又は、何れかのスタッカ部21において収納中の筒収納部がフル状態になるまで、受入位置に位置している筒収納部に入金硬貨を収納する。 An example of such a coin processing device is a coin processing device 110 shown in FIG. 2 . In a deposit transaction, the coin processing device 110 transports the deposited coins inserted into the deposit/withdrawal section 13 by the customer through the upper separation section 15 and the recognition conveyance section 16 to the temporary storage section 23 . After that, when the customer approves the deposit, the coin processing device 110 transports the deposited coins from the temporary storage section 23 to the stacker section 21 (stacker sections 21A to 21F) through the upper separation section 15 and recognition conveyance section 16. As a result, the coins are stored in the tube storage section located at a predetermined receiving position in the tube storage section rotating body in which three tube storage sections for storing coins stacked in a row are arranged in each stacker section 21. The coin processing device 110 remains in the receiving position until all deposited coins are stored in the cylinder storage part of the stacker part 21 or until the cylinder storage part in any stacker part 21 becomes full. Store the deposited coins in the tube storage section.

ここで硬貨処理装置110は、入金取引における硬貨収納中に何れかのスタッカ部21において硬貨収納中の何れかの筒収納部がフル状態になると、上分離部15から全ての硬貨を繰り出して入出金部13へ一旦搬送してから、受入位置に位置しているフル状態になった筒収納部を空きのある別の筒収納部に切り替え、その後、上分離部15から硬貨を筒収納部へ再度搬送する。
(例えば、特許文献1参照)。
Here, when any cylinder storage section storing coins in any stacker section 21 becomes full during coin storage in a deposit transaction, the coin processing device 110 feeds out all the coins from the upper separation section 15 and inserts/unloads the coins. Once the coins are transported to the coin section 13, the full cylinder storage section located at the receiving position is switched to another cylinder storage section with space, and then the coins are transferred from the upper separation section 15 to the cylinder storage section. Transport again.
(For example, see Patent Document 1).

特開2020-194418号公報JP2020-194418A

このような硬貨処理装置においては、入金取引における硬貨の搬送中に何れかのスタッカ部21の何れかの筒収納部がフル状態になった際に、上分離部15から入出金部13へ硬貨を搬送する搬送動作が多いため、取引時間の増大の一因となってしまい、運用効率が低下してしまう可能性があった。 In such a coin processing device, when any cylinder storage section of any stacker section 21 becomes full while coins are being transported in a deposit transaction, the coins are transferred from the upper separating section 15 to the deposit/withdrawal section 13. Because there are many transport operations to transport the data, this may contribute to an increase in transaction time and reduce operational efficiency.

本発明は以上の点を考慮してなされたもので、運用効率を向上し得る硬貨処理装置及び自動取引装置を提案しようとするものである。 The present invention has been made in consideration of the above points, and aims to propose a coin processing device and an automatic transaction device that can improve operational efficiency.

かかる課題を解決するため本発明の硬貨収納装置においては、移動可能であり硬貨を重ねて収納可能な筒状の収納空間が設けられた複数の筒収納部を有し、それぞれ所定の金種が割り当てられた複数の収納部と、硬貨が収納空間に収納される受入位置に位置する筒収納部を切り替え、受入位置に位置している筒収納部に硬貨を収納させると共に、収納動作中において受入位置に位置している筒収納部がフル状態になると、受入位置に位置する筒収納部を切り替えた後に、硬貨を受入位置に位置する筒収納部に再び収納する制御部とを設け、制御部は、収納しようとしている硬貨の枚数である収納予定枚数と、筒収納部それぞれの空き容量とを金種毎に比較し、収納動作中において受入位置に位置する筒収納部の切り替えが必要となる金種数が所定の金種数閾値以下である場合、収納動作中において受入位置に位置している筒収納部がフル状態になる際に硬貨の搬送を一旦停止させ、受入位置に位置しているフル状態の筒収納部を、フル状態ではない別の筒収納部へ切り替えた後に、硬貨を受入位置に位置する筒収納部に再び収納するようにした。 In order to solve this problem, the coin storage device of the present invention has a plurality of movable cylindrical storage spaces each having a cylindrical storage space in which coins can be stacked and stored, each of which has a predetermined denomination. Switch between the assigned plurality of storage sections and the cylinder storage section located at the receiving position where coins are stored in the storage space, store the coin in the cylinder storage section located at the reception position, and accept the coin during storage operation. and a control section for storing coins again in the tube storage section located at the receiving position after switching the tube storage section located at the receiving position when the tube storage section located at the receiving position becomes full. It is necessary to compare the number of coins to be stored, which is the number of coins to be stored, and the free capacity of each tube storage section for each denomination, and to switch the tube storage section located at the receiving position during the storage operation. If the number of denominations is less than a predetermined number of denominations threshold, when the cylinder storage section located at the receiving position becomes full during the storing operation, the conveyance of coins is temporarily stopped, and the coin storage section located at the receiving position is stopped. After the cylinder storage part in the full state is switched to another cylinder storage part which is not in the full state, the coins are stored again in the cylinder storage part located at the receiving position.

本発明は、収納動作において硬貨の搬送中に受入位置に位置している筒収納部がフル状態になった際に、筒収納部回転体を回転させて受入位置に位置する筒収納部を切り替える前に退避部へ一旦搬送する硬貨の枚数を削減できる。 In the present invention, when the tube storage section located at the receiving position becomes full during coin transport during the storage operation, the tube storage section rotating body is rotated to switch the tube storage section located at the receiving position. The number of coins to be transported to the evacuation section beforehand can be reduced.

さらに本発明の自動取引装置においては、使用者の操作を受け付ける操作部と、上述した硬貨処理装置とを設けるようにした。 Furthermore, the automatic transaction device of the present invention is provided with an operation section that accepts operations by a user and the above-mentioned coin processing device.

本発明によれば、運用効率を向上し得る硬貨処理装置及び自動取引装置を実現できる。 According to the present invention, it is possible to realize a coin processing device and an automatic transaction device that can improve operational efficiency.

Further, the coin control unit 12 has an internal storage unit consisting of a RAM, a flash memory, etc., and stores various information in this storage unit.

[2-1.入出金部、シュート部及び上分離部の構成]
入出金部13は、使用者との間で硬貨を受け渡すことにより、該使用者に硬貨を入金させ、又は該使用者に硬貨を出金する。また入出金部13は、使用者により硬貨が投入されると、投入された硬貨をシュート部14に引き渡して該シュート部14内を下降させ、該シュート部14の下側に設けられた上分離部15内に到達させる。また入出金部13は、ピンベルト搬送部18から硬貨が搬送されてくると、該硬貨を集積した後、使用者に受け取らせる。
[2-1. Configuration of deposit/withdrawal section, chute section and upper separation section]
The deposit/withdrawal unit 13 allows the user to deposit coins or withdraws coins from the user by passing coins to and from the user. Further, when a coin is inserted by the user, the deposit/withdrawal section 13 delivers the inserted coin to the chute section 14 and lowers the inside of the chute section 14, and the deposit/withdrawal section 13 transfers the inserted coin to the chute section 14 and lowers the coin into the chute section 14. It reaches inside part 15. Further, when coins are conveyed from the pin belt conveyance section 18, the deposit/withdrawal section 13 accumulates the coins and allows the user to receive them.

シュート部14は、硬貨の直径よりも十分に大きい内径を有する筒状に形成されており、重力を利用して硬貨を入出金部13から上分離部15へ進行させる。すなわちシュート部14は、硬貨を1枚ずつに分離することなく、複数の硬貨が連なった状態やある程度まとまった状態のまま、複数の硬貨を短時間で移動させる。 The chute section 14 is formed into a cylindrical shape having an inner diameter sufficiently larger than the diameter of the coin, and advances the coin from the deposit/withdrawal section 13 to the upper separating section 15 using gravity. That is, the chute section 14 moves the plurality of coins in a short time without separating the coins one by one, while keeping the plurality of coins in a series or in a somewhat grouped state.

上分離部15は、大きく分けて、下側の比較的大きい容積を占める部分である集積分離部15Aと、該集積分離部15Aから上方に突出するように形成された分離搬送部15Bとにより構成されている。集積分離部15Aは、シュート部14から硬貨が落下してくると、この硬貨を集積空間内に集積する。また集積分離部15Aは、傾斜円盤15Cを図2中時計回りに回転させることにより、集積された硬貨を適宜撹拌しながら、傾斜円盤15Cに形成された突起に硬貨を1枚ずつ引っ掛け、該硬貨の盤面を該傾斜円盤15Cに対向(すなわち当接)させた姿勢で持ち上げていき、分離搬送部15Bに引き渡す。 The upper separating section 15 is roughly divided into an accumulation/separation section 15A that occupies a relatively large volume on the lower side, and a separation/conveyance section 15B that is formed to protrude upward from the accumulation/separation section 15A. has been done. When coins fall from the chute section 14, the stacking/separating section 15A stacks the coins in the stacking space. Further, the stacking/separating unit 15A rotates the inclined disk 15C clockwise in FIG. 2 to properly agitate the accumulated coins while hooking the coins one by one onto the protrusions formed on the inclined disk 15C. The disk surface is lifted up in a posture facing (that is, in contact with) the inclined disk 15C, and delivered to the separation conveyance section 15B.

分離搬送部15Bは、硬貨を案内する搬送ガイドと、該搬送ガイドに沿って走行するピンベルトとを有している。搬送ガイドは、上方へ進行してから後ろ斜め下方向へ屈曲するような搬送経路に沿って形成されている。また搬送ガイドには、搬送経路の左側において硬貨の盤面と対向するガイド面を貫通するようにして、該搬送経路に沿った溝が形成されている。 The separation conveyance section 15B includes a conveyance guide that guides the coins, and a pin belt that runs along the conveyance guide. The conveyance guide is formed along a conveyance path that advances upward and then bends backward and diagonally downward. Further, the conveyance guide is formed with a groove extending along the conveyance path so as to pass through the guide surface facing the coin board on the left side of the conveyance path.

ピンベルトは、搬送ガイドの左側に配置されており、図示しないプーリ等によって搬送経路に沿って走行するように張架されている。このピンベルトは、走行方向に沿って所定間隔毎に搬送ピンが設けられており、搬送ピンの先端が搬送ガイドの溝に入り込むように、ガイド面よりも右側に突出している。分離搬送部15Bは、傾斜円盤15Cの回転と同期するようにピンベルトを走行させることにより、集積分離部15Aから引き渡された硬貨を搬送ガイドに沿って上方向へ搬送してから後ろ斜め下方へ搬送し、認識搬送部16に引き渡す。 The pin belt is arranged on the left side of the conveyance guide, and is stretched by a pulley or the like (not shown) so as to run along the conveyance path. This pin belt is provided with conveyance pins at predetermined intervals along the running direction, and protrudes to the right of the guide surface so that the tips of the conveyance pins enter the grooves of the conveyance guide. By running a pin belt in synchronization with the rotation of the inclined disc 15C, the separating and transporting section 15B transports the coins handed over from the stacking and separating section 15A upward along the transport guide and then transports them diagonally downward to the rear. Then, it is delivered to the recognition conveyance section 16.

[2-2.認識搬送部及び受渡部の構成]
認識搬送部16は、シュート部14の右側(図2における紙面の手前側)に位置しており、上分離部15の分離搬送部15Bにより硬貨が搬送されてくると、これを圧接搬送ベルト(図示せず)と搬送ガイド(図示せず)の搬送面との間に挟み込み、圧接搬送ベルトの走行に伴ってこの硬貨を摺動させながら搬送面に沿って後方へ搬送する。やがて認識搬送部16は、この硬貨が撮像部(図示せず)の右側に到達すると、該撮像部により該硬貨を撮像して画像信号を生成し、これを硬貨制御部12へ供給すると共に、引き続き該圧接搬送ベルトの走行によりこの硬貨を後方へ搬送して、後側の受渡部17に引き渡す。
[2-2. Configuration of recognition conveyance section and delivery section]
The recognition conveyance section 16 is located on the right side of the chute section 14 (on the near side of the page in FIG. 2), and when a coin is conveyed by the separation conveyance section 15B of the upper separation section 15, it is transferred to the pressure conveyance belt ( (not shown) and the conveyance surface of a conveyance guide (not shown), and the coin is conveyed backward along the conveyance surface while sliding as the pressure-contact conveyance belt runs. Eventually, when the coin reaches the right side of an imaging section (not shown), the recognition conveyance section 16 uses the imaging section to image the coin, generates an image signal, and supplies this to the coin control section 12. Subsequently, the coin is conveyed rearward by the running of the press-contact conveyor belt and delivered to the delivery section 17 on the rear side.

受渡部17は、前側の認識搬送部16と後側のピンベルト搬送部18との間に位置しており、搬送ガイドにより硬貨を後ろ斜め下方へ進行させる。これにより受渡部17は、認識搬送部16から受け取った硬貨を、ピンベルト搬送部18による硬貨の搬送経路上に位置させて該ピンベルト搬送部18に引き渡す。このとき受渡部17は、硬貨を1枚ずつ受け渡す。すなわち受渡部17は、認識搬送部16において1枚ずつ認識された硬貨を、1枚ずつに分離された状態を維持したまま、且つ受け取った順序も維持したまま、ピンベルト搬送部18に順次引き渡す。 The delivery section 17 is located between the recognition conveyance section 16 on the front side and the pin belt conveyance section 18 on the rear side, and advances the coin diagonally backward and downward by means of a conveyance guide. Thereby, the delivery section 17 places the coin received from the recognition conveyance section 16 on the coin conveyance path by the pin belt conveyance section 18 and delivers it to the pin belt conveyance section 18 . At this time, the delivery unit 17 delivers the coins one by one. That is, the delivery part 17 sequentially delivers the coins recognized one by one in the recognition transport part 16 to the pin belt transport part 18 while maintaining the state of being separated one by one and also maintaining the received order.

[2-3.ピンベルト搬送部の構成]
ピンベルト搬送部18は、スタッカ部21の前側下部、下側、後側及び上側を取り囲むように配置されている。説明の都合上、以下ではピンベルト搬送部18の前側下部、下側、後側及び上側をそれぞれ前ピンベルト搬送部18F、下ピンベルト搬送部18D、後ピンベルト搬送部18B及び上ピンベルト搬送部18Uと呼ぶ。このうち下ピンベルト搬送部18Dの大部分は、出金搬送部22及び一時保留部23の左側(図2における紙面の奥側)に位置している。

The pin belt conveyance section 18 is arranged so as to surround the front lower part, lower side, rear side, and upper side of the stacker section 21. For convenience of explanation, the lower front side, lower side, rear side, and upper side of the pin belt conveyance section 18 are hereinafter referred to as a front pin belt conveyance section 18F, a lower pin belt conveyance section 18D, a rear pin belt conveyance section 18B, and an upper pin belt conveyance section 18U, respectively. Of these, most of the lower pin belt conveyance section 18D is located on the left side of the dispensing conveyance section 22 and the temporary storage section 23 (on the back side of the page in FIG. 2).

ピンベルト搬送部18は、大きく分けて搬送ガイド及びピンベルト(図示せず)により構成されている。搬送ガイドは、硬貨の搬送面を形成し、搬送面を硬貨の盤面と当接させる。ピンベルト搬送部18のうち上ピンベルト搬送部18Uと下ピンベルト搬送部18Dとは、前後方向に沿って硬貨を案内する。また上ピンベルト搬送部18Uは、前端近傍において、前斜め下方向へ屈曲し、入出金部13と接続されている。一方、ピンベルト搬送部18のうち前ピンベルト搬送部18F及び後ピンベルト搬送部18Bは、概ね上下方向に沿って硬貨を案内する。 The pin belt conveyance section 18 is roughly composed of a conveyance guide and a pin belt (not shown). The conveyance guide forms a coin conveyance surface, and brings the conveyance surface into contact with the coin board surface. Of the pin belt conveying sections 18, the upper pin belt conveying section 18U and the lower pin belt conveying section 18D guide coins along the front-rear direction. Further, the upper pin belt conveyance section 18U is bent diagonally downward in the vicinity of the front end and is connected to the deposit/withdrawal section 13. On the other hand, among the pin belt conveyance sections 18, the front pin belt conveyance section 18F and the rear pin belt conveyance section 18B guide coins generally along the vertical direction.

ピンベルトは、搬送ベルト及び搬送ピン(図示せず)により構成されている。搬送ベルトは、可撓性を有する材料によって円環状に形成されている。一方、硬貨処理装置筐体11には、主に搬送ガイドが屈曲する箇所の近傍に、複数のプーリがそれぞれ回転可能に設けられている。搬送ベルトは、各プーリを順次結ぶように張架される。ピンベルト搬送部18は、図示しないモータから一部のプーリに駆動力が伝達されると、該プーリを図2中反時計回りに回転させ、これに伴ってピンベルトを図2中反時計回りとなるように走行させる。これに伴いピンベルト搬送部18は、搬送ガイドの搬送面に硬貨の盤面(すなわち左側面)を寄りかからせた状態で、搬送ピンにより該硬貨に対し搬送方向へ力を加え、該搬送ガイドに沿って進行させることにより、搬送する。 The pin belt includes a conveyor belt and conveyor pins (not shown). The conveyor belt is made of a flexible material and is formed into an annular shape. On the other hand, a plurality of pulleys are each rotatably provided in the coin processing device housing 11 mainly near the portion where the conveyance guide bends. The conveyor belt is stretched so as to sequentially connect each pulley. When driving force is transmitted from a motor (not shown) to some of the pulleys, the pin belt conveying unit 18 rotates the pulleys counterclockwise in FIG. 2, and accordingly, the pin belt rotates counterclockwise in FIG. Make it run like this. Along with this, the pin belt conveying section 18 applies force to the coin in the conveying direction with the conveying pin, with the coin's disk surface (that is, the left side surface) leaning against the conveying surface of the conveying guide, and It is conveyed by moving it along.

このピンベルト搬送部18は、受渡部17から硬貨を受け取ると、この硬貨を前ピンベルト搬送部18Fに沿って下方へ進行させ、さらに下ピンベルト搬送部18Dに沿って後方へ進行させる。続いてピンベルト搬送部18は、この硬貨を後ピンベルト搬送部18Bに沿って上方へ進行させ、さらに上ピンベルト搬送部18Uに沿って前方へ進行させた後、入出金部13へ進行させる。すなわちピンベルト搬送部18は、認識搬送部16から受渡部17を介して受け渡された硬貨を、スタッカ部21の周囲を周回するようにして、概ね環状に形成された搬送経路に沿って入出金部13へ搬送する。 When this pin belt conveyance section 18 receives a coin from the delivery section 17, it advances the coin downward along the front pin belt conveyance section 18F and further backward along the lower pin belt conveyance section 18D. Subsequently, the pin belt conveyance section 18 causes the coin to advance upward along the rear pin belt conveyance section 18B, further forward along the upper pin belt conveyance section 18U, and then to the deposit/withdrawal section 13. In other words, the pin belt conveyance section 18 deposits and withdraws coins received from the recognition conveyance section 16 via the transfer section 17 along a generally annular conveyance path so as to orbit around the stacker section 21. Transfer to section 13.

かかる構成に加えてピンベルト搬送部18には、6箇所の分岐部が設けられている。この分岐部は、ピンベルト搬送部18を進行する硬貨の進行先を、それぞれ、補充回収庫24へ切り替え可能な前補回分岐部と、第1補充リジェクト庫25又は第2補充リジェクト庫26へ切り替え可能な前リジェクト分岐部と、一時保留部23へ切り替え可能な一時保留分岐部と、リジェクト庫27へ切り替え可能な後第1リジェクト分岐部と、取忘取込庫28へ切り替え可能な後第2リジェクト分岐部と、補充回収庫24が硬貨処理装置筐体11の後側に取り付けられた場合に該補充回収庫24へ切り替え可能な後補回分岐部とにより構成されている。 In addition to this configuration, the pin belt conveying section 18 is provided with six branch sections. This branching section switches the destination of the coins traveling through the pin belt conveyance section 18 to a pre-supplementary branching section which can switch to the replenishment and collection warehouse 24, and to the first replenishment reject storehouse 25 or the second replenishment reject storehouse 26. A possible front reject branch part, a temporary hold branch part that can be switched to the temporary hold part 23, a rear first reject branch part that can be switched to the reject warehouse 27, and a rear second reject branch part that can be switched to the forgotten storage 28. It is constituted by a reject branch part and a supplementary recovery branch part which can be switched to the replenishment collection warehouse 24 when the replenishment collection warehouse 24 is attached to the rear side of the coin processing device housing 11.

各分岐部は、硬貨制御部12の制御に基づいて分岐板(図示せず)を回動させることにより、硬貨を引き続きピンベルト搬送部18に沿って進行させるか、又は該硬貨をピンベルト搬送部18から分岐させてそれぞれの搬送先へ進行させるかを切り替える。 Each branching section rotates a branching plate (not shown) based on the control of the coin control section 12 to cause the coin to continue to advance along the pin belt conveying section 18 or to move the coin to the pin belt conveying section 18. Switch whether to branch off and proceed to each destination.

さらにピンベルト搬送部18には、6個のスタッカ部21のそれぞれ上側となる6箇所に、スタッカ分岐部が設けられている。スタッカ分岐部の左側には、硬貨をスタッカ部21へ案内する案内部31が設けられている。各スタッカ分岐部は、硬貨制御部12の制御に基づいて分岐板を回動させることにより、硬貨を引き続きピンベルト搬送部18に沿って進行させるか、又は該硬貨をピンベルト搬送部18から分岐させて各スタッカ部21へ進行させるかを切り替える。 Furthermore, the pin belt conveyance section 18 is provided with stacker branch sections at six locations above each of the six stacker sections 21. A guide section 31 that guides coins to the stacker section 21 is provided on the left side of the stacker branch section. Each stacker branching section rotates a branching plate under the control of the coin control section 12 to allow the coins to continue to advance along the pin belt conveying section 18 or to branch the coins from the pin belt conveying section 18. It is switched whether to proceed to each stacker section 21 or not.

このようにピンベルト搬送部18は、認識搬送部16から受渡部17を介して受け渡された硬貨を搬送経路に沿って搬送し、該硬貨の搬送経路を分岐部又はスタッカ分岐部により適宜分岐させて補充回収庫24やスタッカ部21等へ進行させ、又は入出金部13へ進行させる。 In this way, the pin belt conveyance section 18 conveys the coins received from the recognition conveyance section 16 via the transfer section 17 along the conveyance path, and branches the coin conveyance path appropriately by the branching section or the stacker branching section. and then proceed to the replenishment collection warehouse 24, stacker section 21, etc., or proceed to the deposit/withdrawal section 13.

[2-4.スタッカ部、出金搬送部及び一時保留部の構成]
硬貨処理装置10には、前後方向に沿って6個のスタッカ部21(スタッカ部21A、21B、21C、21D、21E及び21F)が整列配置されている。各スタッカ部21は、それぞれ所定の金種の硬貨と対応付けられている。本実施の形態においては、各スタッカ部21に、例えば500円、100円、50円、10円、5円及び1円といった6種類の金種の1金種ずつがそれぞれ割り当てられている。このスタッカ部21は、案内部31の下側においてスタッカ部21の大部分を占める収納部50と、該収納部50の下側に設けられた繰出機構69とにより構成されている。これらのスタッカ部21は、前後方向に隣接する2つのスタッカ部21毎に、1つのスタッカユニット44として一体化するようにまとめられている。具体的に硬貨処理装置10は、スタッカ部21A及び21Bで1つのスタッカユニット44を構成し、スタッカ部21C及び21Dで1つのスタッカユニット44を構成し、スタッカ部21E及び21Fで1つのスタッカユニット44を構成している。
[2-4. Configuration of stacker section, withdrawal conveyance section and temporary holding section]
In the coin processing device 10, six stacker sections 21 (stacker sections 21A, 21B, 21C, 21D, 21E, and 21F) are arranged in alignment along the front-rear direction. Each stacker section 21 is associated with a coin of a predetermined denomination, respectively. In this embodiment, each stacker unit 21 is assigned one denomination of six denominations, for example, 500 yen, 100 yen, 50 yen, 10 yen, 5 yen, and 1 yen. This stacker section 21 includes a storage section 50 that occupies most of the stacker section 21 below the guide section 31, and a feeding mechanism 69 provided below the storage section 50. These stacker sections 21 are integrated into one stacker unit 44, with each two stacker sections 21 adjacent to each other in the front-rear direction. Specifically, in the coin processing device 10, the stacker sections 21A and 21B constitute one stacker unit 44, the stacker sections 21C and 21D constitute one stacker unit 44, and the stacker sections 21E and 21F constitute one stacker unit 44. It consists of

収納部50は、硬貨の盤面をほぼ水平とした姿勢で順次積み上げるようにして、上下方向に沿って集積するように収納するための集積空間が形成された円筒形状の筒収納部56を有している。因みに収納部50では、3つの筒収納部56が設けられており、これらを水平面内で移動させ得るようになっている。案内部31は、スタッカ分岐部から引き渡される硬貨を筒収納部56の上端近傍へ案内し、該筒収納部56内に既に集積されている他の硬貨の上側に載置させる。 The storage section 50 has a cylindrical tube storage section 56 in which a storage space is formed for storing coins in a vertically stacked manner so that the coins are stacked one after another with the surface of the coins substantially horizontal. ing. Incidentally, the storage section 50 is provided with three cylinder storage sections 56, which can be moved within a horizontal plane. The guide section 31 guides the coins delivered from the stacker branch to near the upper end of the tube storage section 56 and places them on top of other coins already accumulated in the tube storage section 56.

繰出機構69は、筒収納部56の下端近傍において、該筒収納部56に集積されている硬貨のうち最も下側の1枚を繰り出す。具体的に繰出機構69は、筒収納部56の真下から右側にかけてベルト及びプーリの組み合わせでなる繰出搬送部72(図3)を構成しており、このベルトの上面を右方向へ向けて走行させることにより、筒収納部56内に集積されている最も下側の硬貨を右方向へ搬送して繰り出す。 The feeding mechanism 69 feeds out the lowest one of the coins accumulated in the tube storage section 56 near the lower end of the tube storage section 56 . Specifically, the feeding mechanism 69 constitutes a feeding conveying section 72 (FIG. 3) consisting of a combination of a belt and a pulley extending from just below the tube storage section 56 to the right side, and runs this belt with the upper surface directed to the right. As a result, the lowermost coins accumulated in the tube storage section 56 are conveyed to the right and fed out.

ここで、スタッカ部21は下ピンベルト搬送部18Dのほぼ真上に位置している。またスタッカ部21における繰出機構69は、ベルトの右端を出金搬送部22の真上に、すなわち下ピンベルト搬送部18Dの右側に位置させている。このためスタッカ部21から繰り出された硬貨は、下ピンベルト搬送部18Dへ落下することなく、出金搬送部22又は一時保留部23へ落下する。 Here, the stacker section 21 is located almost directly above the lower pin belt conveyance section 18D. Further, the feeding mechanism 69 in the stacker section 21 positions the right end of the belt directly above the dispensing conveyance section 22, that is, on the right side of the lower pin belt conveyance section 18D. Therefore, the coins fed out from the stacker section 21 fall to the dispensing conveyance section 22 or the temporary storage section 23 without falling to the lower pin belt conveyance section 18D.

出金搬送部22は、後側から4個のスタッカ部21、すなわちスタッカ部21C~21Fの右下側に位置している。この出金搬送部22は、上側及び前側が開放された中空の直方体のような形状となっており、内部に硬貨を収容し得る空間を形成している。この出金搬送部22は、硬貨制御部12の制御に基づいてプーリを回転させることにより、ベルトの上面を前方向へ進行させ、該ベルト上に載置若しくは集積されている硬貨を前方向へ搬送し、やがて一時保留部23内へ落下させる。このとき出金搬送部22は、硬貨を1枚ずつに分離することなく、複数の硬貨が連なった状態やある程度まとまった状態のまま、複数の硬貨を短時間で搬送する。 The dispensing transport section 22 is located on the lower right side of the four stacker sections 21 from the rear side, that is, the stacker sections 21C to 21F. The dispensing conveyance unit 22 has a hollow rectangular parallelepiped shape with its upper and front sides open, and forms a space in which coins can be accommodated. The dispensing conveyance unit 22 rotates a pulley under the control of the coin control unit 12 to advance the top surface of the belt in the forward direction, thereby moving the coins placed or accumulated on the belt in the forward direction. It is transported and eventually dropped into the temporary holding section 23. At this time, the dispensing conveyance section 22 conveys the plurality of coins in a short time without separating the coins one by one, in a state where the plurality of coins are connected or in a state where they are clustered to some extent.

一時保留部23は、硬貨を一時的に集積させる箇所であり、出金搬送部22の前側、すなわちスタッカ部21A及び21Bの右下側に位置している。一時保留部23は、スタッカ部21A及び21Bから硬貨が繰り出されて落下してくると、これらを内部空間に収容し、ベルト上に載置させ、若しくは他の硬貨と共に集積させる。また一時保留部23は、出金搬送部22から搬送されてきた硬貨も、内部空間のベルト上に載置若しくは集積させる。このため一時保留部23は、ピンベルト搬送部18から一時保留分岐部を介して硬貨が引き渡されると、この硬貨も内部空間のベルト上に載置若しくは集積させる。 The temporary storage section 23 is a place where coins are temporarily accumulated, and is located on the front side of the dispensing conveyance section 22, that is, on the lower right side of the stacker sections 21A and 21B. When the coins are paid out from the stacker parts 21A and 21B and fall, the temporary storage part 23 stores the coins in an internal space and places them on a belt or accumulates them together with other coins. Further, the temporary holding section 23 also places or accumulates the coins conveyed from the dispensing conveyance section 22 on the belt in the internal space. For this reason, when coins are delivered from the pin belt conveying section 18 via the temporary holding branch section, the temporary holding section 23 also places or accumulates the coins on the belt in the internal space.

この一時保留部23は、ベルトを停止させている場合、内部空間に集積している硬貨をそのまま保持する。一方、一時保留部23は、硬貨制御部12の制御に基づいてベルトの上面を前上方向に走行させた場合、集積している硬貨を前斜め上方へ進行させていき、やがて該ベルトの前端部分から繰り出して上分離部15に受け渡す。上分離部15に受け渡された硬貨は、認識搬送部16へ搬送される。このとき一時保留部23は、出金搬送部22と同様に、硬貨を1枚ずつに分離することなく、複数の硬貨が連なった状態やある程度まとまった状態のまま、複数の硬貨を短時間で搬送する。 This temporary holding section 23 holds the coins accumulated in the internal space as is when the belt is stopped. On the other hand, when the temporary storage section 23 runs the upper surface of the belt in the forward and upward direction based on the control of the coin control section 12, the accumulated coins advance diagonally forward and upward, and eventually the front end of the belt It is fed out from the section and delivered to the upper separation section 15. The coins delivered to the upper separation section 15 are conveyed to the recognition conveyance section 16. At this time, the temporary holding unit 23, like the dispensing conveyance unit 22, stores multiple coins in a short period of time without separating the coins one by one, or in a state where the coins are connected to a certain extent or in a state where they are grouped to some extent. transport.

[2-5.補充回収庫、リジェクト庫等及び下分離部の構成]
補充回収庫24は、硬貨処理装置筐体11の下部前側に設けられており、直方体における後上側部分を仕切って第1補充リジェクト庫25及び第2補充リジェクト庫26とした場合の残った部分となっている。この補充回収庫24は、ピンベルト搬送部18から前補回分岐部を介して硬貨が進行してくると、この硬貨を内部に進行させて集積する。また補充回収庫24は、内部のベルトを停止させている場合には、硬貨を集積した状態を保持する一方、硬貨制御部12の制御に基づいてベルトの上面を後方へ進行させるように走行させた場合、この硬貨を後方へ搬送して該ベルトの後端近傍から補充回収庫24の後方へ繰り出す。
[2-5. Configuration of replenishment collection storage, reject storage, etc. and lower separation section]
The replenishment collection storage 24 is provided at the lower front side of the coin processing device housing 11, and is separated from the remaining portion when the rear upper part of the rectangular parallelepiped is partitioned into a first replenishment reject storage 25 and a second replenishment reject storage 26. It has become. When coins advance from the pin belt conveyance section 18 via the pre-replenishment branch section, the replenishment collection storage 24 advances the coins inside and accumulates them. In addition, when the internal belt is stopped, the replenishment collection warehouse 24 maintains the state in which coins are accumulated, while causing the upper surface of the belt to travel backward based on the control of the coin control unit 12. In this case, the coin is conveyed rearward and fed out from near the rear end of the belt to the rear of the replenishment collection warehouse 24.

第1補充リジェクト庫25は、補充回収庫24の後上側における右側に位置しており、該補充回収庫24と比較して十分に小さい直方体状に形成されている。また第1補充リジェクト庫25は、補充回収庫24と同様に、内部に硬貨を集積する空間が形成されている。この第1補充リジェクト庫25は、ピンベルト搬送部18から前リジェクト分岐部を介して硬貨が進行してくると、この硬貨を内部に収容する。 The first replenishment reject store 25 is located on the right side of the rear upper side of the replenishment and collection store 24 and is formed in the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped, which is sufficiently smaller than the replenishment and collection store 24 . Further, like the replenishment and collection store 24, the first replenishment reject store 25 has a space formed therein to accumulate coins. The first replenishment reject store 25 accommodates the coins therein as they advance from the pin belt conveyance section 18 via the front reject branch section.

第2補充リジェクト庫26は、第1補充リジェクト庫25の左側に位置しており、該第1補充リジェクト庫25とほぼ同様に構成されている。この第2補充リジェクト庫26は、ピンベルト搬送部18から前リジェクト分岐部と、該前リジェクト分岐部よりも下側に設けられた前第2リジェクト分岐部とを順次介して硬貨が進行してくると、この硬貨を内部に収容する。 The second replenishment reject store 26 is located on the left side of the first replenisher reject store 25, and is configured almost similarly to the first replenisher reject store 25. In this second replenishment reject warehouse 26, coins advance sequentially from the pin belt conveyance section 18 through a front reject branch section and a front second reject branch section provided below the front reject branch section. and store this coin inside.

リジェクト庫27は、第1補充リジェクト庫25と同様に構成されており、後第1リジェクト分岐部を介して硬貨が進行してくると、この硬貨を内部に収容する。取忘取込庫28は、リジェクト庫27の左側に設けられており、第2補充リジェクト庫26と同様に構成されており、後第2リジェクト分岐部を介して硬貨が進行してくると、この硬貨を内部に収容する。 The reject store 27 is configured similarly to the first replenishment reject store 25, and when a coin advances through the rear first reject branch, the reject store 27 stores the coin therein. The unclaimed storage 28 is provided on the left side of the reject storage 27 and has the same structure as the second replenishment reject storage 26, and when coins advance through the rear second rejection branch, Store this coin inside.

下分離部29は、硬貨処理装置筐体11の下部における中央付近であり、補充回収庫24の後側に隣接する位置に配置されている。この下分離部29は、上分離部15と類似した構成となっており、集積分離部15A、分離搬送部15B及び傾斜円盤15Cとそれぞれ対応する集積分離部29A、分離搬送部29B及び傾斜円盤29Cにより構成されている。集積分離部29Aは、内部の傾斜円盤29Cを回転させることにより、集積されている硬貨を1枚ずつに分離して分離搬送部29Bに引き渡す。分離搬送部29Bは、集積分離部29Aから受け取った硬貨を1枚ずつ上方へ持ち上げるように搬送し、一時保留部23の放出口から一時保留部23の内部の空間へ放出する。 The lower separation part 29 is located near the center of the lower part of the coin processing device housing 11 and is arranged at a position adjacent to the rear side of the replenishment and collection storage 24 . This lower separating section 29 has a similar configuration to the upper separating section 15, and has an accumulating separating section 29A, a separating conveying section 29B, and an inclined disk 29C corresponding to the accumulating separating section 15A, separating conveying section 15B, and inclined disk 15C, respectively. It is made up of. The stacking/separating section 29A rotates an internal inclined disk 29C to separate the stacked coins one by one and deliver them to the separating and conveying section 29B. The separating and transporting section 29B transports the coins received from the stacking and separating section 29A so as to lift them one by one upward, and releases them from the discharge port of the temporary storage section 23 into the space inside the temporary storage section 23.

このように下分離部29は、硬貨処理装置10内において比較的下側に位置する補充回収庫24から繰り出された硬貨を、これよりも上側に位置する一時保留部23へ搬送する。 In this way, the lower separating section 29 transports coins dispensed from the replenishment and collection warehouse 24 located relatively lower in the coin processing device 10 to the temporary storage section 23 located above.

[3.各種処理における硬貨の搬送]
次に、硬貨処理装置10において硬貨の搬送を伴う種々の処理、すなわち入金処理及び出金処理等における硬貨の搬送や集積等について説明する。ここでは、現金自動預払機1と顧客との間で入金取引及び出金取引を行う場合における硬貨処理装置10での処理についてそれぞれ説明する。
[3. Transport of coins in various processes]
Next, various processes involving the conveyance of coins in the coin processing device 10, ie, conveyance and accumulation of coins in deposit processing, withdrawal processing, etc., will be explained. Here, the processing performed by the coin processing device 10 in the case of performing a deposit transaction and a withdrawal transaction between the automatic teller machine 1 and a customer will be explained.

[3-1.入金取引における硬貨の搬送]
まず、現金自動預払機1(図1)において顧客との間で入金取引が行われる場合について説明する。この場合、硬貨処理装置10は、前段の入金計数処理により、図7に示すように、顧客に入金された硬貨の金種等を認識しながら枚数を計数し、これに続く後段の入金収納処理により、図8に示すように、各硬貨を適切な収納箇所へ搬送して収納する。
[3-1. Transport of coins in deposit transactions]
First, a case where a deposit transaction is performed with a customer at the automated teller machine 1 (FIG. 1) will be described. In this case, the coin processing device 10 counts the number of coins deposited by the customer while recognizing the denomination, etc. of the coins deposited by the customer through the deposit counting process in the first stage, as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 8, each coin is transported to and stored in an appropriate storage location.

具体的に硬貨処理装置10の硬貨制御部12は、現金自動預払機1の主制御部9(図1)と連携することにより、操作表示部6(図1)を介して顧客から入金取引を開始する旨の操作入力を受け付けると、入金計数処理を開始する。 Specifically, the coin control unit 12 of the coin processing device 10 cooperates with the main control unit 9 (FIG. 1) of the automated teller machine 1 to receive deposit transactions from customers via the operation display unit 6 (FIG. 1). When an operation input to start is received, the deposit counting process is started.

このとき硬貨制御部12は、まず主制御部9と連携して硬貨入出金口5(図1)のシャッタ及び入出金部13の上シャッタを開放させて顧客に入出金部13内へ硬貨を投入させる。次に硬貨制御部12は、顧客から操作表示部6(図1)を介して硬貨の取り込みを開始する操作入力を受け付けると、硬貨入出金口5のシャッタ及び入出金部13の上シャッタを閉塞させた上で、入出金部13からシュート部14を介して上分離部15に硬貨を引き渡させる。 At this time, the coin control section 12 first cooperates with the main control section 9 to open the shutter of the coin deposit/withdrawal port 5 (FIG. 1) and the upper shutter of the deposit/withdrawal section 13, thereby allowing the customer to transfer coins into the deposit/withdrawal section 13. Have them put it in. Next, when the coin control unit 12 receives an operation input from the customer to start accepting coins via the operation display unit 6 (FIG. 1), the coin control unit 12 closes the shutter of the coin deposit/withdrawal port 5 and the upper shutter of the deposit/withdrawal unit 13. Then, the coins are delivered from the deposit/withdrawal section 13 to the upper separation section 15 via the chute section 14.

上分離部15は、硬貨を1枚ずつに分離して繰り出し、認識搬送部16へ引き渡す。認識搬送部16は、硬貨を1枚ずつ搬送しながら認識し、受渡部17に引き渡すと共に、得られた認識結果を硬貨制御部12へ通知する。 The upper separation section 15 separates the coins one by one, feeds out the coins, and delivers them to the recognition conveyance section 16. The recognition conveyance unit 16 recognizes the coins while conveying them one by one, delivers them to the delivery unit 17, and notifies the coin control unit 12 of the obtained recognition results.

これに応じて硬貨制御部12は、通知された認識結果を基に、該硬貨を受け入れ得るか否かを判定すると共にその搬送先を決定し、さらに記憶する。このとき硬貨制御部12は、該硬貨が取扱可能な金種であり、且つ正当である(すなわち偽造されていない)と判定した場合にこれを受入可能とし、それ以外の場合を受入不可能とする。また硬貨制御部12は、受入可能と判定した硬貨の金額を逐次加算することにより合計金額を集計する。さらに硬貨制御部12は、受け入れ可能な硬貨が各金種において何枚であるかを判定し、各金種の枚数を、対応する金種を収納するスタッカ部21の収納予定枚数として記憶する。 In response to this, the coin control unit 12 determines whether or not the coin can be accepted based on the notified recognition result, determines its destination, and further stores it. At this time, the coin control unit 12 determines that the coin can be accepted if it is determined that the coin is of a denomination that can be handled and is legitimate (that is, not counterfeited), and in other cases, it is determined that the coin cannot be accepted. do. The coin control unit 12 also tallies the total amount by sequentially adding the amount of coins determined to be acceptable. Furthermore, the coin control unit 12 determines how many coins of each denomination can be accepted, and stores the number of coins of each denomination as the scheduled number of coins to be stored in the stacker unit 21 that stores the corresponding denomination.

受渡部17は、認識搬送部16から受け取った硬貨をピンベルト搬送部18に引き渡す。ピンベルト搬送部18は、該硬貨が受入可能であれば、一時保留分岐部まで搬送して分岐させて一時保留部23へ進行させ、該一時保留部23に集積させる。またピンベルト搬送部18は、該硬貨が受入不可能であれば、入出金部13まで搬送して収容させる。 The delivery section 17 delivers the coins received from the recognition conveyance section 16 to the pin belt conveyance section 18. If the coins can be accepted, the pin belt conveying section 18 transports the coins to the temporary holding branch section, branches the coins, advances them to the temporary holding section 23, and accumulates them in the temporary holding section 23. Further, if the coin cannot be accepted, the pin belt conveyance section 18 conveys the coin to the deposit/withdrawal section 13 and stores it therein.

やがて硬貨制御部12は、上分離部15から全ての硬貨を繰り出させ終えると、入出金部13が受入不可能な硬貨を収容していれば、主制御部9(図1)と協働し上シャッタ等を開放させ、該硬貨を顧客に返却させて確認させると共に、必要に応じて再投入させる。一方、硬貨制御部12は、入出金部13が受入不可能な硬貨を収容していなければ、入金計数処理を完了し、入金計数処理を完了したこと及び集計した合計金額(以下これを入金額と呼ぶ)を主制御部9に通知する。これに応じて現金自動預払機1の主制御部9は、所定の操作指示画面を操作表示部6(図1)に表示させ、顧客にこの入金額を提示すると共に入金取引を継続するか、又は中止するかを選択させる。 Eventually, when the coin control section 12 finishes feeding out all the coins from the upper separation section 15, if the deposit/withdrawal section 13 stores coins that cannot be accepted, the coin control section 12 cooperates with the main control section 9 (FIG. 1). An upper shutter or the like is opened, the coins are returned to the customer for confirmation, and the coins are re-inserted if necessary. On the other hand, if the deposit/withdrawal unit 13 does not accommodate coins that cannot be accepted, the coin control unit 12 completes the deposit counting process, and confirms that the deposit counting process has been completed and the total amount (hereinafter referred to as the deposited amount). ) is notified to the main control unit 9. In response, the main control unit 9 of the automatic teller machine 1 displays a predetermined operation instruction screen on the operation display unit 6 (FIG. 1), presents the deposited amount to the customer, and either continues the deposit transaction or not. Or give them the choice of canceling.

ここで入金取引の中止が選択されると、主制御部9はこのことを硬貨制御部12に通知する。これに応じて硬貨制御部12は、入金返却処理を行うことにより、一時保留部23に集積している硬貨を入出金部13へ搬送させて顧客に返却させる。 When canceling the deposit transaction is selected here, the main control section 9 notifies the coin control section 12 of this fact. In response to this, the coin control unit 12 performs a deposit return process to transport the coins accumulated in the temporary holding unit 23 to the deposit/withdrawal unit 13 and return them to the customer.

一方、顧客から入金取引の継続が選択されると、主制御部9はこのことを硬貨制御部12に通知する。これに応じて硬貨制御部12は、入金収納処理を行うことにより、一時保留部23に集積している硬貨をスタッカ部21へ搬送させて金種毎に収納させる。 On the other hand, when the customer selects to continue the deposit transaction, the main control section 9 notifies the coin control section 12 of this fact. In response to this, the coin control section 12 performs a deposit storage process to transport the coins accumulated in the temporary storage section 23 to the stacker section 21 and store them by denomination.

具体的に硬貨制御部12は、一時保留部23のベルトを走行させることにより、一時保留部23内に集積している硬貨を前方へ搬送させて繰り出させ、上分離部15に順次引き渡させる。上分離部15及び認識搬送部16は、硬貨を1枚ずつに分離してから認識すると共に、受渡部17へ引き渡す。 Specifically, the coin control section 12 causes the belt of the temporary storage section 23 to run, thereby transporting the coins accumulated in the temporary storage section 23 forward and letting them out, and sequentially delivering them to the upper separation section 15. The upper separation section 15 and the recognition conveyance section 16 separate the coins one by one, recognize them, and deliver them to the delivery section 17.

これに応じて硬貨制御部12は、得られた認識結果を基に、硬貨が再利用可能であるか否か、すなわち以降の出金処理において出金可能な硬貨であるか否かを判定し、該硬貨の搬送先を決定する。このとき硬貨制御部12は、該硬貨が再利用可能であればその金種に応じたスタッカ部21(スタッカ部21A~21F)を搬送先とし、再利用不可能であればリジェクト庫27を搬送先とする。因みに以下では、再利用不可能と判定された硬貨をリジェクト硬貨とも呼ぶ。 In response, the coin control unit 12 determines whether the coin can be reused, that is, whether the coin can be withdrawn in subsequent withdrawal processing, based on the obtained recognition result. , determine the destination of the coin. At this time, the coin control unit 12 selects the stacker unit 21 (stacker units 21A to 21F) corresponding to the denomination of the coin if it is reusable, and transports the coin to the reject warehouse 27 if the coin cannot be reused. First. Incidentally, in the following, coins determined to be unrecyclable will also be referred to as rejected coins.

受渡部17は、認識搬送部16から受け取った硬貨をピンベルト搬送部18に引き渡す。ピンベルト搬送部18は、硬貨が再利用可能であれば、前ピンベルト搬送部18F、下ピンベルト搬送部18D及び後ピンベルト搬送部18Bにより該硬貨を順次搬送する。やがてピンベルト搬送部18は、該硬貨が上ピンベルト搬送部18Uに到達すると、金種に応じたスタッカ分岐部により該硬貨を分岐させ、案内部31を介して収納部50に収納させる。 The delivery section 17 delivers the coins received from the recognition conveyance section 16 to the pin belt conveyance section 18. If the coin is reusable, the pin belt conveyance section 18 sequentially conveys the coin using the front pin belt conveyance section 18F, the lower pin belt conveyance section 18D, and the rear pin belt conveyance section 18B. Eventually, when the coin reaches the upper pin belt conveyance section 18U, the pin belt conveyance section 18 branches the coin using a stacker branch section according to the denomination, and stores the coin in the storage section 50 via the guide section 31.

ところでスタッカ部21では、収納部50の筒収納部56に収納可能な硬貨の最大枚数が規定されており、既に最大枚数の硬貨が収納されている場合、新たな硬貨を収納することができない。このような場合、硬貨制御部12は、該硬貨を入出金部13まで搬送させて繰り出させ、さらにシュート部14を介して上分離部15へ進行させる。これにより該硬貨は、やがて搬送経路に沿って再びスタッカ部21まで搬送される。 By the way, in the stacker section 21, the maximum number of coins that can be stored in the tube storage section 56 of the storage section 50 is defined, and if the maximum number of coins is already stored, no new coins can be stored. In such a case, the coin control section 12 causes the coin to be conveyed to the deposit/withdrawal section 13 and fed out, and further advanced to the upper separating section 15 via the chute section 14. As a result, the coin is eventually transported to the stacker section 21 again along the transport path.

一方、スタッカ部21は、複数の筒収納部56を水平面内で移動させるための移動機構である図3に示す収納駆動部51を有しており、1個の筒収納部56に最大枚数の硬貨が収納された場合、該筒収納部56を案内部31の下側から他の箇所へ移動させると共に、他の筒収納部56を案内部31の下側に移動させる。すなわちスタッカ部21は、その内部において、案内部31の下側に位置する筒収納部56を交換する。これによりスタッカ部21は、次に硬貨が搬送されてきたときに、該硬貨を収納できる。 On the other hand, the stacker section 21 has a storage drive section 51 shown in FIG. When coins are stored, the tube storage section 56 is moved from the lower side of the guide section 31 to another location, and the other tube storage section 56 is moved to the lower side of the guide section 31. That is, in the stacker section 21, the tube storage section 56 located below the guide section 31 is replaced. Thereby, the stacker section 21 can store the coins the next time they are conveyed.

一方、ピンベルト搬送部18は、硬貨が再利用不可能であれば、後第1リジェクト分岐部まで搬送して分岐させてリジェクト庫27へ進行させ、収容させる。やがて硬貨制御部12は、一時保留部23に集積していた全ての硬貨をそれぞれの搬送先に搬送させ終えると、入金収納処理を終了する。 On the other hand, if the coin cannot be reused, the pin belt conveying section 18 conveys the coin to the rear first reject branching section, branches the coin, advances it to the reject warehouse 27, and stores the coin. Eventually, the coin control unit 12 finishes transporting all the coins accumulated in the temporary storage unit 23 to their respective destinations, and ends the deposit storage process.

[3-2.出金取引における硬貨の搬送]
次に、現金自動預払機1(図1)において顧客との間で出金取引が行われる場合について説明する。この場合、硬貨処理装置10は、出金処理により、図9に示すように、顧客に指示された金額の硬貨を入出金部13へ搬送して出金する。
[3-2. Transport of coins in withdrawal transactions]
Next, a case will be described in which a withdrawal transaction is performed with a customer at the automatic teller machine 1 (FIG. 1). In this case, as shown in FIG. 9, the coin processing device 10 carries out the withdrawal process to transport coins of the amount instructed by the customer to the deposit/withdrawal unit 13 and withdraw the money.

具体的に硬貨処理装置10の硬貨制御部12は、現金自動預払機1の主制御部9(図1)と連携することにより、操作表示部6を介して顧客から出金取引を開始する旨の操作入力を受け付けると、出金処理を開始する。 Specifically, the coin control unit 12 of the coin processing device 10 cooperates with the main control unit 9 (FIG. 1) of the automatic teller machine 1 to receive instructions for starting a withdrawal transaction from a customer via the operation display unit 6. Upon receiving the operation input, the withdrawal process will begin.

このとき硬貨制御部12は、まず主制御部9と連携して操作表示部6を介して出金額を含む所定の操作入力を受け付けると、硬貨制御部12において出金額に応じた硬貨の金種及び枚数を決定する。続いて各スタッカ部21は、決定した金種及び枚数に応じて、収納部50に収納させている硬貨を繰出機構69によりそれぞれ繰り出し、下側の出金搬送部22又は一時保留部23内へ落下させ、集積させる。出金搬送部22は、ベルトの上面を前方へ走行させることにより、集積されている硬貨を前方へ搬送し、一時保留部23内へ落下させて集積させる。 At this time, the coin control section 12 first receives a predetermined operation input including the withdrawal amount via the operation display section 6 in cooperation with the main control section 9, and then the coin control section 12 determines the denomination of the coin corresponding to the withdrawal amount. and determine the number of sheets. Next, each stacker section 21 feeds out the coins stored in the storage section 50 using the feeding mechanism 69 according to the determined denomination and number of coins, and transfers them into the lower dispensing conveyance section 22 or the temporary storage section 23. Let it fall and accumulate. The dispensing transport section 22 transports the accumulated coins forward by running the upper surface of the belt forward, and drops the coins into the temporary holding section 23 to be accumulated therein.

その後、硬貨制御部12は、入金返却処理及び入金収納処理の場合と同様に、一時保留部23、上分離部15及び認識搬送部16により硬貨を1枚ずつに分離させて順次搬送させ、該硬貨を認識して受渡部17へ引き渡させる。受渡部17は、認識搬送部16から受け取った硬貨をピンベルト搬送部18に引き渡させる。 Thereafter, the coin control unit 12 causes the temporary storage unit 23, upper separation unit 15, and recognition conveyance unit 16 to separate the coins one by one and convey them sequentially, as in the case of deposit return processing and deposit storage processing. The coin is recognized and handed over to the delivery section 17. The delivery section 17 causes the coins received from the recognition conveyance section 16 to be delivered to the pin belt conveyance section 18.

また硬貨制御部12は、得られた認識結果を基に硬貨が出金可能であるか否かを判定し、その搬送先を決定すると共に記憶する。すなわち硬貨制御部12は、該硬貨が出金可能であれば入出金部13を搬送先とし、出金不可能であればリジェクト庫27を搬送先とする。因みに以下では、出金不可能と判定された硬貨をリジェクト硬貨とも呼ぶ。 The coin control unit 12 also determines whether the coin can be withdrawn based on the obtained recognition result, determines the destination of the coin, and stores it. That is, the coin control unit 12 sets the deposit/withdrawal unit 13 as the delivery destination if the coin can be withdrawn, and sets the rejection warehouse 27 as the delivery destination if the coin cannot be withdrawn. Incidentally, in the following, coins that are determined to be non-withdrawable are also referred to as rejected coins.

ピンベルト搬送部18は、硬貨が出金可能であれば、入出金部13へ搬送して収容させる。一方、ピンベルト搬送部18は、硬貨が出金不可能であれば、後第1リジェクト分岐部まで搬送して分岐させてリジェクト庫27へ進行させ、収容させる。因みに硬貨制御部12は、リジェクト硬貨が発生した場合、該リジェクト硬貨と同一金種の新たな硬貨をスタッカ部21から繰り出させる。 If the coin can be withdrawn, the pin belt conveyance section 18 conveys the coin to the deposit/withdrawal section 13 and stores it therein. On the other hand, if the coin cannot be withdrawn, the pin belt conveying section 18 conveys the coin to the rear first reject branching section, branches the coin, advances it to the reject warehouse 27, and stores the coin. Incidentally, when a rejected coin is generated, the coin control section 12 causes a new coin of the same denomination as the rejected coin to be fed out from the stacker section 21.

やがて硬貨制御部12は、出金額に応じた金種及び枚数の硬貨を入出金部13内に収容させ終えると、主制御部9(図1)と協働して入出金部13の上シャッタ等を開放させて顧客に該硬貨が取り出されるのを待ち受ける。その後、硬貨制御部12は、顧客により入出金部13内の硬貨が取り出されたことを検知すると、再び主制御部9と協働して上シャッタ等を閉塞させ、出金処理を終了する。 When the coin control unit 12 has finished storing coins of the denomination and number of coins in the deposit/withdrawal unit 13 according to the withdrawal amount, the coin control unit 12 cooperates with the main control unit 9 (FIG. 1) to close the upper shutter of the deposit/withdrawal unit 13. etc., and waits for the customer to take out the coin. Thereafter, when the coin control section 12 detects that the coins in the deposit/withdrawal section 13 are taken out by the customer, the coin control section 12 again cooperates with the main control section 9 to close the upper shutter and the like, and ends the withdrawal process.

[4.スタッカユニットの全体構成]
3個のスタッカユニット44は何れもほぼ同様に構成されている。図3に示すように1つのスタッカユニット44は、前側のスタッカ部21の収納部50、集積機構59及び繰出機構69と、後側のスタッカ部21の収納部50、集積機構59及び繰出機構69とにより構成されている。以下では、前側のスタッカ部21の収納部50、集積機構59及び繰出機構69について主に説明する。

[4-1-2.筒収納部回転体の構成]
筒収納部回転体55は、上下方向に延びる略円筒形状に構成されており、所定の1金種の硬貨を内部に収納する。この筒収納部回転体55は、中心に位置する回転軸55ARを中心として収納駆動部51の駆動力により、図6中時計回りである筒収納部回転体回転方向r1へ回転可能に構成されている。また筒収納部回転体55が回転する際の回転軌道の範囲は、上下方向の範囲が筒収納部回転体55の上端部から下端部までとなっている。
[4-1-2. Configuration of rotating body of tube storage section]
The tube storage rotating body 55 has a substantially cylindrical shape extending in the vertical direction, and stores coins of one predetermined denomination therein. The cylinder storage rotating body 55 is configured to be rotatable in the rotation direction r1 of the cylinder storage rotating body, which is clockwise in FIG. There is. Further, the range of the rotational orbit when the tube storage portion rotating body 55 rotates is such that the range in the vertical direction is from the upper end of the tube storage portion rotation body 55 to the lower end.

また図6に示すように、筒収納部回転体55の内周側には、回転軸55ARを中心とした円周上に沿って筒収納部56(筒収納部56A、56B及び56C)が互いに対し120[°]の回転角度で3つ形成されている。以下では、筒収納部56A、56B及び56Cをまとめて筒収納部56とも呼ぶ。すなわち筒収納部回転体55は、硬貨を重ねて集積することにより収納する筒収納部56が3個連結された構成となっている。また筒収納部回転体55は、筒収納部回転体回転方向r1に沿って、筒収納部56A、筒収納部56C、筒収納部56Bの順番で筒収納部56が配置されている。すなわち筒収納部回転体55は、筒収納部回転体回転方向r1の逆方向に沿った場合、筒収納部56A、筒収納部56B、筒収納部56Cの順番で筒収納部56が配置されている。筒収納部56は、収納する硬貨の直径よりも僅かに広い直径であり上下方向に延び硬貨を収納する円筒形状の空間である硬貨集積空間SPCが内部に形成されている。また筒収納部56は、硬貨集積空間SPCの下端部が筒収納部回転体55の外側と連通している。3つの筒収納部56は、互いに同一金種の硬貨を収納するため、互いに同一形状となっている。図4、図5及び図6に示すように、筒収納部回転体55の外周壁には、それぞれの筒収納部56の硬貨集積空間SPCと筒収納部回転体55の外部とを連通させるステージ入れ込みスリット55SLが筒収納部回転体55の上端部から下端部までに亘って形成されている。また筒収納部回転体55の上端に設けられたアッパガイド40には、回転軸55ARを中心とした円周上に沿って2つの筒回転位置検知ディテクタDT1が設けられている。これらの筒回転位置検知ディテクタDT1は、筒収納部回転体回転方向r1に沿って、互いに対し120[°]の回転角度で配置されている。 Further, as shown in FIG. 6, on the inner circumferential side of the cylinder storage part rotating body 55, cylinder storage parts 56 (cylinder storage parts 56A, 56B, and 56C) are arranged mutually along the circumference centered on the rotation axis 55AR. On the other hand, three are formed with a rotation angle of 120[°]. Hereinafter, the tube storage sections 56A, 56B, and 56C will also be collectively referred to as the tube storage section 56. That is, the cylinder storage unit rotating body 55 has a structure in which three cylinder storage units 56 are connected to each other to store coins by stacking them one on top of the other. Further, in the cylinder storage part rotary body 55, the cylinder storage parts 56 are arranged in the order of cylinder storage part 56A, cylinder storage part 56C, and cylinder storage part 56B along the cylinder storage part rotation body rotation direction r1. In other words, in the cylinder storage rotating body 55, the cylinder storage parts 56 are arranged in the order of the cylinder storage part 56A, the cylinder storage part 56B, and the cylinder storage part 56C when viewed in the opposite direction to the rotation direction r1 of the cylinder storage rotation body. There is. The cylindrical storage section 56 has a coin accumulation space SPC formed therein, which is a cylindrical space that has a diameter slightly wider than the diameter of the coins to be stored, extends in the vertical direction, and stores coins. Further, in the tube storage portion 56, a lower end portion of the coin accumulation space SPC communicates with the outside of the tube storage portion rotating body 55. The three cylindrical storage portions 56 each have the same shape in order to store coins of the same denomination. As shown in FIG. 4, FIG. 5, and FIG. 6, a stage is provided on the outer peripheral wall of the cylinder storage unit rotating body 55 to communicate the coin accumulation space SPC of each cylinder storage unit 56 with the outside of the cylinder storage unit rotation body 55. An insertion slit 55SL is formed extending from the upper end to the lower end of the cylinder housing rotating body 55. Further, the upper guide 40 provided at the upper end of the cylinder housing rotating body 55 is provided with two cylinder rotation position detectors DT1 along the circumference around the rotation axis 55AR. These cylinder rotation position detection detectors DT1 are arranged at a rotation angle of 120[°] with respect to each other along the rotation direction r1 of the cylinder housing rotating body.

また筒収納部回転体55には、図6に示すように筒収納部56にピンベルト搬送部18(図2)から硬貨を投入させる受入位置Prと、筒収納部56から出金搬送部22又は一時保留部23へ硬貨を繰り出す繰出位置Peとが設定されている。受入位置Prは、筒収納部回転体55の左端部における、ステージ67において硬貨を集積させる硬貨集積面67pSの上方に設定されている。繰出位置Peは、受入位置Prに対し筒収納部回転体回転方向r1へ120[°]回転した、分離ベルト73の左端部の上方に設定されている。分離ベルト73は、繰出位置Peにある筒収納部56から硬貨を1枚ずつ繰り出して出金搬送部22又は一時保留部23(図2)へ向けて右方へ搬送する。このように受入位置Prと繰出位置Peとは、平面視において異なる位置に設定されている。以下では、現在受入位置Prにある筒収納部56を受入対象筒収納部とも呼び、現在繰出位置Peにある筒収納部56を繰出対象筒収納部とも呼ぶ。 In addition, as shown in FIG. 6, the cylinder storage part rotary body 55 has a receiving position Pr for inserting coins into the cylinder storage part 56 from the pin belt transport part 18 (FIG. A dispensing position Pe for dispensing coins to the temporary storage section 23 is set. The receiving position Pr is set above the coin accumulation surface 67pS on which coins are accumulated on the stage 67 at the left end of the cylinder storage rotating body 55. The delivery position Pe is set above the left end portion of the separation belt 73, which is rotated by 120[°] in the rotation direction r1 of the cylinder housing rotating body with respect to the receiving position Pr. The separation belt 73 feeds out the coins one by one from the tube storage section 56 at the payout position Pe and conveys them rightward toward the dispensing conveyance section 22 or the temporary storage section 23 (FIG. 2). In this way, the receiving position Pr and the feeding position Pe are set to different positions in plan view. Hereinafter, the cylinder storage section 56 currently located at the receiving position Pr will also be referred to as the receiving target cylinder storage section, and the cylinder storage section 56 currently at the dispensing position Pe will also be referred to as the dispensing target cylinder storage section.

硬貨処理装置10は、例えば入金取引等において、現在受入位置Prにある筒収納部56、すなわち受入対象筒収納部に硬貨を投入し収納する収納動作と、例えば出金取引等において、現在繰出位置Peにある筒収納部56、すなわち繰出対象筒収納部から硬貨を繰り出す繰出動作とを行う。また硬貨処理装置10は、筒収納部回転体55を収納駆動部51により筒収納部回転体回転方向r1へ回転させることにより、受入位置Prにある筒収納部56を切り替えると共に、繰出位置Peにある筒収納部56を切り替える。具体的に硬貨処理装置10は、現在の受入対象筒収納部に最大枚数の硬貨が収納された状態であるフル状態になると、筒収納部回転体55を筒収納部回転体回転方向r1へ回転させ、現在受入位置Prにある筒収納部56に対し筒収納部回転体回転方向r1とは逆方向側に位置する筒収納部56を受入位置Prへ移動させることにより、受入対象筒収納部を切り替える。 The coin processing device 10 performs a storing operation of inserting and storing coins in the cylinder storage section 56 currently located at the receiving position Pr, that is, a cylinder storage section to be accepted, in a deposit transaction, etc., and a storage operation of inserting and storing coins in the cylinder storage section currently located at the current receiving position Pr, for example, in a withdrawal transaction, etc. A payout operation is performed to pay out coins from the tube storage section 56 in Pe, that is, the payout target tube storage section. In addition, the coin processing device 10 switches the cylinder storage part 56 from the receiving position Pr by rotating the cylinder storage part rotating body 55 in the rotation direction r1 of the cylinder storage part rotary body by the storage driving part 51, and also switches the cylinder storage part 56 from the receiving position Pr to the feeding position Pe. A certain tube storage section 56 is switched. Specifically, when the coin processing device 10 reaches a full state in which the maximum number of coins is stored in the current acceptance target cylinder storage unit, the coin processing device 10 rotates the cylinder storage unit rotary body 55 in the rotation direction r1 of the cylinder storage unit rotation body. By moving the cylinder storage part 56, which is located on the side opposite to the rotation direction r1 of the cylinder storage part rotating body, to the reception position Pr with respect to the cylinder storage part 56 currently in the reception position Pr, the cylinder storage part to be received is moved. Switch.

図4に示すように、筒収納部回転体55の上端部よりも上方における筒回転位置検知ディテクタDT1の移動経路上には、筒回転位置検知ディテクタDT1を検知する筒回転位置検知センサSE1(筒回転位置検知センサSE1A及びSE1B)が設けられている。以下では、筒回転位置検知センサSE1A及びSE1Bをまとめて筒回転位置検知センサSE1とも呼ぶ。筒回転位置検知センサSE1は、筒収納部回転体回転方向r1に沿って、筒回転位置検知センサSE1A、筒回転位置検知センサSE1Bの順番で配置されており、筒回転位置検知センサSE1Aから筒回転位置検知センサSE1Bまでの筒収納部回転体回転方向r1に沿った回転角度は、120[°]となっている。筒回転位置検知センサSE1は、筒回転位置検知ディテクタDT1を通過させる溝を挟んで、検知光を発光する発光部と該検知光を受光する受光部とを対向させて配置したU字状の光学式のセンサである。この筒回転位置検知センサSE1は、検知光の受光結果を硬貨制御部12(図2)に通知する。硬貨制御部12は、この受光結果を基に、筒収納部回転体55の回転位置を判断する。具体的に硬貨制御部12は、図10に示すように、筒収納部56Aが受入位置Prに位置している場合、検知光を受光していないことを示す受光結果(すなわちON状態)を筒回転位置検知センサSE1A及び筒回転位置検知センサSE1Bの両方から取得する。続いて硬貨制御部12は、筒収納部回転体55が筒収納部回転体回転方向r1へ回転し、筒収納部56Bが受入位置Prに位置すると、OFF状態を筒回転位置検知センサSE1Aから、ON状態を筒回転位置検知センサSE1Bからそれぞれ取得する。さらに硬貨制御部12は、筒収納部回転体55が筒収納部回転体回転方向r1へ回転し、筒収納部56Cが受入位置Prに位置すると、ON状態を筒回転位置検知センサSE1Aから、OFF状態を筒回転位置検知センサSE1Bからそれぞれ取得する。 As shown in FIG. 4, on the movement path of the cylinder rotation position detection detector DT1 above the upper end of the cylinder storage part rotating body 55, there is a cylinder rotation position detection sensor SE1 (cylinder rotation position detection sensor SE1) that detects the cylinder rotation position detection detector DT1. Rotational position detection sensors SE1A and SE1B) are provided. Hereinafter, the cylinder rotation position detection sensors SE1A and SE1B will also be collectively referred to as the cylinder rotation position detection sensor SE1. The cylinder rotation position detection sensor SE1 is arranged in the order of cylinder rotation position detection sensor SE1A and cylinder rotation position detection sensor SE1B along the rotation direction r1 of the cylinder storage part rotating body, and the cylinder rotation position detection sensor SE1A is arranged in the order of cylinder rotation position detection sensor SE1A and cylinder rotation position detection sensor SE1B. The rotation angle along the rotational direction r1 of the rotating body of the cylinder housing part up to the position detection sensor SE1B is 120[°]. The cylinder rotation position detection sensor SE1 is a U-shaped optical sensor in which a light emitting part that emits detection light and a light reception part that receives the detection light are arranged facing each other across a groove through which the cylinder rotation position detection detector DT1 passes. It is a type sensor. This tube rotation position detection sensor SE1 notifies the coin control unit 12 (FIG. 2) of the result of receiving the detection light. The coin control section 12 determines the rotational position of the tube storage section rotating body 55 based on the result of this light reception. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 10, when the cylinder storage part 56A is located at the receiving position Pr, the coin control unit 12 sends a light reception result indicating that the detection light is not received (that is, an ON state) to the cylinder. It is acquired from both the rotational position detection sensor SE1A and the cylinder rotational position detection sensor SE1B. Subsequently, when the cylinder storage unit rotating body 55 rotates in the cylinder storage unit rotation body rotation direction r1 and the cylinder storage unit 56B is located at the receiving position Pr, the coin control unit 12 detects the OFF state from the cylinder rotation position detection sensor SE1A. The ON state is acquired from the cylinder rotation position detection sensor SE1B. Furthermore, when the cylinder storage part rotating body 55 rotates in the cylinder storage part rotation body rotation direction r1 and the cylinder storage part 56C is located at the receiving position Pr, the coin control unit 12 switches the ON state from the cylinder rotation position detection sensor SE1A to the OFF state. The status is acquired from the cylinder rotation position detection sensor SE1B.

この筒収納部回転体55は、アッパガイド40と、サイドガイド46と、ロアガイド42と、回転軸55ARとにより構成されており、これらアッパガイド40、サイドガイド46及びロアガイド42によって囲まれた空間に、上述した硬貨集積空間SPCが形成されている。 The cylinder housing rotating body 55 is composed of an upper guide 40, a side guide 46, a lower guide 42, and a rotating shaft 55AR, and is located in a space surrounded by the upper guide 40, the side guide 46, and the lower guide 42. , the above-mentioned coin accumulation space SPC is formed.

[5.収納処理]
次に、硬貨処理装置10による収納処理の具体的な処理手順について、図11に示すフローチャートを用いて詳細に説明する。入金計数処理を完了し入金収納処理を開始すると、硬貨処理装置10は、収納処理プログラムを実行することにより図11に示す収納処理手順RT1を開始し、ステップSP1へ移る。硬貨制御部12は、まず、一時保留部23に収納されている硬貨をスタッカ部21へ搬送させることに先立ち、スタッカ部21の筒収納部56(筒収納部56A、56B及び56C)の何れを、硬貨を収納する受入対象筒収納部とするかを設定する。ステップSP1において硬貨制御部12は、収納すべき金種に対応した全てのスタッカ部21(スタッカ部21A、21B、21C、21D、21E及び21F)それぞれにおいて、入金計数処理において確定したそれぞれのスタッカ部21に収納する予定の硬貨の枚数である収納予定枚数と、筒収納部56Aの空き容量とを比較し、収納予定枚数が筒収納部56Aの空き容量以下であるか否かを判定する。空き容量とは、現在筒収納部56に収納されている硬貨の枚数から、フル状態になるまでの枚数である。ここで肯定結果が得られると、このことは、筒収納部56Aの空き容量が収納予定枚数以上であるため、収納する予定の硬貨を筒収納部56Aに収納し切れることを表し、このとき硬貨制御部12はステップSP2へ移る。ステップSP2において硬貨制御部12は、筒収納部56Aを受入対象筒収納部として設定し、筒収納部回転体55を筒収納部回転体回転方向r1へ回転させることにより筒収納部56Aを受入位置Prに移動させ、ステップSP8へ移る。
[5. Storage processing]
Next, the specific processing procedure of the storage process by the coin processing device 10 will be explained in detail using the flowchart shown in FIG. 11. When the deposit counting process is completed and the deposit storage process is started, the coin processing device 10 starts the storage process procedure RT1 shown in FIG. 11 by executing the storage process program, and moves to step SP1. First, before transporting the coins stored in the temporary storage section 23 to the stacker section 21, the coin control section 12 controls which of the cylinder storage sections 56 (cylindrical storage sections 56A, 56B, and 56C) of the stacker section 21. , set whether to use the cylinder storage section as an acceptance target for storing coins. In step SP1, the coin control unit 12 controls each stacker unit determined in the deposit counting process in all the stacker units 21 (stacker units 21A, 21B, 21C, 21D, 21E, and 21F) corresponding to the denomination to be stored. The planned storage number, which is the number of coins scheduled to be stored in the tube storage section 56A, is compared with the free capacity of the tube storage section 56A, and it is determined whether the planned storage number is less than or equal to the free capacity of the tube storage section 56A. The free capacity is the number of coins currently stored in the tube storage section 56 until it becomes full. If a positive result is obtained here, this means that the free capacity of the tube storage section 56A is greater than the number of coins scheduled to be stored, so the coins scheduled to be stored can be completely stored in the tube storage section 56A. The control unit 12 moves to step SP2. In step SP2, the coin control unit 12 sets the cylinder storage part 56A as a cylinder storage part to be accepted, and rotates the cylinder storage part rotating body 55 in the rotation direction r1 of the cylinder storage part rotary body, thereby moving the cylinder storage part 56A to the receiving position. Pr, and the process moves to step SP8.

一方ステップSP1において否定結果が得られると、このことは、筒収納部56Aの空き容量が収納予定枚数未満であるため、収納する予定の硬貨を筒収納部56Aに収納し切れないことを表し、このとき硬貨制御部12はステップSP3へ移る。 On the other hand, if a negative result is obtained in step SP1, this means that the free capacity of the tube storage section 56A is less than the scheduled number of coins to be stored, so that the coins scheduled to be stored cannot be completely stored in the tube storage section 56A. At this time, the coin control section 12 moves to step SP3.

ステップSP3において硬貨制御部12は、収納すべき金種に対応した全てのスタッカ部21(スタッカ部21A、21B、21C、21D、21E及び21F)それぞれにおいて、入金計数処理において確定したそれぞれのスタッカ部21の収納予定枚数と、筒収納部56Bの空き容量とを比較し、収納予定枚数が筒収納部56Bの空き容量以下であるか否かを判定する。ここで肯定結果が得られると、このことは、筒収納部56Bの空き容量が収納予定枚数以上であるため、収納する予定の硬貨を筒収納部56Bに収納し切れることを表し、このとき硬貨制御部12はステップSP4へ移る。ステップSP4において硬貨制御部12は、筒収納部56Bを受入対象筒収納部として設定し、筒収納部回転体55を筒収納部回転体回転方向r1へ回転させることにより筒収納部56Bを受入位置Prに移動させ、ステップSP8へ移る。 In step SP3, the coin control unit 12 controls each stacker unit determined in the deposit counting process in each of the stacker units 21 (stacker units 21A, 21B, 21C, 21D, 21E, and 21F) corresponding to the denomination to be stored. The scheduled number of sheets to be stored in No. 21 is compared with the free capacity of the tube storage section 56B, and it is determined whether the scheduled number of sheets to be stored is less than or equal to the free capacity of the tube storage section 56B. If a positive result is obtained here, this means that the free space in the tube storage section 56B is greater than or equal to the number of coins scheduled to be stored in the tube storage section 56B. The control unit 12 moves to step SP4. In step SP4, the coin control unit 12 sets the cylinder storage part 56B as a cylinder storage part to be accepted, and rotates the cylinder storage part rotating body 55 in the rotation direction r1 of the cylinder storage part rotary body, thereby moving the cylinder storage part 56B to the receiving position. Pr, and the process moves to step SP8.

一方ステップSP3において否定結果が得られると、このことは、筒収納部56Bの空き容量が収納予定枚数未満であるため、収納する予定の硬貨を筒収納部56Bに収納し切れないことを表し、このとき硬貨制御部12はステップSP5へ移る。 On the other hand, if a negative result is obtained in step SP3, this means that the coins scheduled to be stored cannot be completely stored in the cylinder storage part 56B because the free capacity of the cylinder storage part 56B is less than the scheduled number of coins to be stored. At this time, the coin control unit 12 moves to step SP5.

ステップSP5において硬貨制御部12は、収納すべき金種に対応した全てのスタッカ部21(スタッカ部21A、21B、21C、21D、21E及び21F)それぞれにおいて、入金計数処理において確定したそれぞれのスタッカ部21の収納予定枚数と、筒収納部56Cの空き容量とを比較し、収納予定枚数が筒収納部56Cの空き容量以下であるか否かを判定する。ここで肯定結果が得られると、このことは、筒収納部56Cの空き容量が収納予定枚数以上であるため、収納する予定の硬貨を筒収納部56Cに収納し切れることを表し、このとき硬貨制御部12はステップSP6へ移る。ステップSP6において硬貨制御部12は、筒収納部56Cを受入対象筒収納部として設定し、筒収納部回転体55を筒収納部回転体回転方向r1へ回転させることにより筒収納部56Cを受入位置Prに移動させ、ステップSP8へ移る。 In step SP5, the coin control unit 12 selects each stacker unit determined in the deposit counting process in all the stacker units 21 (stacker units 21A, 21B, 21C, 21D, 21E, and 21F) corresponding to the denomination to be stored. The scheduled number of sheets to be stored in No. 21 is compared with the free capacity of the tube storage section 56C, and it is determined whether the scheduled number of sheets to be stored is less than or equal to the free capacity of the tube storage section 56C. If a positive result is obtained here, this means that the free capacity of the tube storage section 56C is greater than the number of coins scheduled to be stored, so the coins scheduled to be stored can be completely stored in the tube storage section 56C. The control unit 12 moves to step SP6. In step SP6, the coin control unit 12 sets the cylinder storage part 56C as a cylinder storage part to be accepted, and rotates the cylinder storage part rotating body 55 in the rotation direction r1 of the cylinder storage part rotary body, thereby moving the cylinder storage part 56C to the receiving position. Pr, and the process moves to step SP8.

一方ステップSP5において否定結果が得られると、このことは、筒収納部56Cの空き容量が収納予定枚数未満であるため、収納する予定の硬貨を筒収納部56Cに収納し切れない、すなわち、筒収納部56A、56B及び56C全ての空き容量が収納予定枚数未満であるため、収納する予定の硬貨を筒収納部56A、56B及び56Cの何れか1つだけでは収納し切れないことを表し、このとき硬貨制御部12はステップSP7へ移る。ステップSP7において硬貨制御部12は、例えば筒収納部56Aを受入対象筒収納部として設定し、筒収納部回転体55を筒収納部回転体回転方向r1へ回転させることにより筒収納部56Aを受入位置Prに移動させ、ステップSP8へ移る。 On the other hand, if a negative result is obtained in step SP5, this means that the coins scheduled to be stored cannot be stored in the cylinder storage part 56C because the free capacity of the cylinder storage part 56C is less than the scheduled number of coins to be stored. This indicates that the free capacity of all of the storage sections 56A, 56B, and 56C is less than the scheduled number of coins to be stored, so the coins scheduled to be stored cannot be stored in any one of the cylinder storage sections 56A, 56B, and 56C. At this time, the coin control unit 12 moves to step SP7. In step SP7, the coin control section 12 sets the cylinder storage part 56A as the cylinder storage part to be accepted, and receives the cylinder storage part 56A by rotating the cylinder storage part rotating body 55 in the rotation direction r1 of the cylinder storage part rotation body. It is moved to position Pr, and the process moves to step SP8.

ステップSP8において硬貨制御部12は、収納すべき金種に対応した全てのスタッカ部21(スタッカ部21A、21B、21C、21D、21E及び21F)それぞれにおいて、収納予定枚数と、筒収納部56A、56B及び56Cそれぞれの空き容量とを比較し、収納予定枚数が筒収納部56A、56B及び56Cそれぞれの空き容量よりも多いスタッカ部21が金種数閾値以下であるか否かを判定する。本実施の形態において金種数閾値は、例えば1金種に設定されている。このため、ステップSP8において硬貨制御部12は、収納予定枚数が筒収納部56A、56B及び56Cそれぞれの空き容量よりも多いスタッカ部21が1つ以下であるか否かを判定する。 In step SP8, the coin control unit 12 determines the expected number of coins to be stored, the cylinder storage part 56A, 56B and 56C are compared, and it is determined whether or not the stacker section 21 whose scheduled number of sheets to be stored is larger than the free capacity of each of the tube storage sections 56A, 56B, and 56C is below the denomination number threshold. In this embodiment, the denomination number threshold is set to, for example, one denomination. Therefore, in step SP8, the coin control section 12 determines whether there is one or less stacker sections 21 in which the number of coins to be stored is greater than the free capacity of each of the tube storage sections 56A, 56B, and 56C.

ステップSP8において否定結果が得られると、このことは、収納する予定の硬貨を筒収納部56A、56B及び56Cの何れか1つだけでは収納し切れない(すなわち収納途中で受入対象筒収納部の切り替えが必要となる)スタッカ部21が金種数閾値よりも多く(すなわち本実施の形態においては2金種分以上(2つ以上))存在することを表し、このとき硬貨制御部12はステップSP9へ移る。 If a negative result is obtained in step SP8, this means that the coins to be stored cannot be stored in only one of the tube storage sections 56A, 56B, and 56C (that is, the coins to be stored cannot be stored in only one of the tube storage sections to be accepted. This indicates that there are more stacker units 21 than the threshold for the number of denominations (in other words, for two or more denominations (two or more) in this embodiment), and in this case, the coin control unit 12 performs the step Move to SP9.

ステップSP9において硬貨制御部12は、第1収納動作パターンにより、一時保留部23から硬貨を搬送させて、受入対象筒収納部に収納する予定の硬貨が全て収納されるか、又は受入対象筒収納部がフル状態になるまで硬貨を収納し(図8)、ステップSP11へ移る。具体的にこの第1収納動作パターンにおいて硬貨制御部12は、収納する予定の硬貨の金種に対応した全てのスタッカ部21それぞれにおいて受入対象筒収納部がフル状態となると、フル状態となった受入対象筒収納部に収納すべき金種の硬貨のみを出金取引(図9)と同様の搬送ルートで、一旦入出金部13に搬送させる。一方で硬貨制御部12は、フル状態ではない受入対象筒収納部に収納すべき金種の硬貨については、受入対象筒収納部への収納を継続する。収納する予定の硬貨全てを受入対象筒収納部へ収納したか、又は、フル状態となった受入対象筒収納部に収納すべき金種の硬貨の入出金部13への搬送が完了すると、硬貨制御部12はステップSP11へ移る。 In step SP9, the coin control unit 12 transports the coins from the temporary storage unit 23 according to the first storage operation pattern, and determines whether all the coins scheduled to be stored in the receiving cylinder storage unit are stored or the coins are not stored in the receiving cylinder storage unit. Coins are stored until the section is full (FIG. 8), and the process moves to step SP11. Specifically, in this first storage operation pattern, the coin control unit 12 determines that the coin control unit 12 is in the full state when the receiving tube storage units in all the stacker units 21 corresponding to the denomination of the coin scheduled to be stored are in the full state. Only the coins of the denomination to be stored in the receiving tube storage section are once transported to the deposit/withdrawal section 13 via the same transportation route as the withdrawal transaction (FIG. 9). On the other hand, the coin control unit 12 continues to store coins of denominations that should be stored in the receiving tube storage section that is not in a full state into the receiving tube storage section. When all the coins scheduled to be stored have been stored in the receiving tube storage section, or when the transfer of the coins of the denomination to be stored in the full acceptance tube storage section to the deposit/withdrawal section 13 is completed, the coins are The control unit 12 moves to step SP11.

ステップSP11において硬貨制御部12は、収納予定枚数を更新し、ステップSP12へ移る。具体的に硬貨制御部12は、最初の収納予定枚数から、ステップSP9においてそれぞれのスタッカ部21の受入対象筒収納部に収納できた硬貨の枚数を減算することにより、各金種の収納予定枚数を更新する。 In step SP11, the coin control unit 12 updates the scheduled number of coins to be stored, and proceeds to step SP12. Specifically, the coin control unit 12 subtracts the number of coins that could be stored in the receiving cylinder storage section of each stacker section 21 in step SP9 from the initial number of coins scheduled to be stored, thereby determining the number of coins scheduled to be stored for each denomination. Update.

ステップSP12において硬貨制御部12は、更新した収納予定枚数が0枚よりも大きいスタッカ部21が存在するか否かを判定する。ここで肯定結果が得られると、このことは、受入対象筒収納部の空き容量が収納予定枚数よりも少なかったスタッカ部21が存在したため受入対象筒収納部に硬貨を収納し切れなかったことを表し、このとき硬貨制御部12はステップSP1へ戻り、受入対象筒収納部に硬貨を収納し切れなかった金種の硬貨を収納する全てのスタッカ部21の筒収納部回転体55を同時に回転させて、更新された収納予定枚数以上の空き容量を有する筒収納部56を受入位置Prへ移動させ、それから入出金部13にある硬貨を上分離部15へ引き渡させた後、上分離部15から繰り出させることで、再びスタッカ部21に搬送させ、硬貨を再びスタッカ部21に搬送し、収納すべき金種に対応した全てのスタッカ部21の収納予定枚数が0枚になるまで上述した処理を繰り返す。 In step SP12, the coin control unit 12 determines whether there is a stacker unit 21 in which the updated number of coins to be stored is larger than 0 coins. If a positive result is obtained here, this means that the coins could not be fully stored in the receiving tube storage section because there was a stacker section 21 in which the available capacity of the receiving tube storage section was less than the expected number of coins to be stored. At this time, the coin control unit 12 returns to step SP1 and simultaneously rotates the cylinder storage unit rotating bodies 55 of all the stacker units 21 that store coins of denominations that cannot be stored in the receiving target cylinder storage unit. Then, the cylinder storage section 56, which has a free space equal to or greater than the updated scheduled number of coins to be stored, is moved to the receiving position Pr, and then the coins in the deposit/withdrawal section 13 are transferred to the upper separation section 15, and then the coins are transferred from the upper separation section 15. By feeding out the coins, the coins are conveyed to the stacker section 21 again, and the above-mentioned process is performed until the number of coins to be stored in all the stacker sections 21 corresponding to the denominations to be stored becomes zero. repeat.

一方ステップSP12において否定結果が得られると、このことは、全てのスタッカ部21において受入対象筒収納部の空き容量が収納予定枚数以上であったため、受入対象筒収納部に収納する予定の全ての硬貨を収納し切れたことを表し、このとき硬貨制御部12はステップSP13へ移り収納処理手順RT1を終了する。 On the other hand, if a negative result is obtained in step SP12, this means that in all the stacker units 21, the free capacity of the receiving tube storage section is greater than or equal to the scheduled number of sheets to be stored. This indicates that all coins have been stored, and at this time, the coin control unit 12 moves to step SP13 and ends the storage processing procedure RT1.

一方ステップSP8において肯定結果が得られると、このことは、収納する予定の硬貨を筒収納部56A、56B及び56Cの何れか1つだけでは収納し切れない(すなわち収納途中で受入対象筒収納部の切り替えが必要となる)スタッカ部21が金種数閾値以下(すなわち本実施の形態においては1金種分以下(1つ以下))のみ存在するか、又は、収納する予定の硬貨の金種に対応した全てのスタッカ部21において、収納する予定の硬貨を筒収納部56A、56B及び56Cの何れか1つに収納し切れる状態であることを表し、このとき硬貨制御部12はステップSP10へ移る。 On the other hand, if a positive result is obtained in step SP8, this means that the coins scheduled to be stored cannot be stored in only one of the tube storage sections 56A, 56B, and 56C (that is, the coins that are to be stored cannot be stored in only one of the tube storage sections 56A, 56B, and 56C (that is, the coins are not received in the receiving tube storage section in the middle of storage). (requires switching), the stacker unit 21 only has one denomination number threshold or less (that is, one denomination or less (one or less) in this embodiment), or the denomination of the coin to be stored is In all the stacker sections 21 corresponding to the above, it indicates that the coins to be stored can be completely stored in any one of the cylinder storage sections 56A, 56B, and 56C, and at this time, the coin control section 12 advances to step SP10. Move.

ステップSP10において硬貨制御部12は、第2収納動作パターンにより、一時保留部23から硬貨を搬送して、受入対象筒収納部に収納する予定の硬貨が全て収納されるか、又は受入対象筒収納部がフル状態になるまで硬貨を収納し(図8)、ステップSP11へ移る。具体的にこの第2収納動作パターンにおいて硬貨制御部12は、収納する予定の硬貨の金種に対応した全てのスタッカ部21(すなわち本実施の形態においては1つのスタッカ部21)において受入対象筒収納部がフル状態となると、繰出元としての上分離部15からの硬貨の繰り出しを停止させることにより全てのスタッカ部21(本実施の形態においては1つのスタッカ部21)への硬貨の搬送を停止させると共に、ピンベルト搬送部18の駆動を継続することにより、ピンベルト搬送部18において上分離部15とスタッカ部21との間に残留している硬貨を出金取引(図9)と同様の搬送ルートで、一旦入出金部13に搬送させる。入出金部13に搬送された硬貨は、上分離部15へ落下する。ピンベルト搬送部18に残留した硬貨の入出金部13への搬送が完了すると、硬貨制御部12はステップSP11へ移る。ステップSP11及びSP12において硬貨制御部12は、上述した処理を行う。 In step SP10, the coin control unit 12 transports the coins from the temporary holding unit 23 according to the second storage operation pattern, and determines whether all the coins scheduled to be stored in the receiving cylinder storage unit are stored or the coins are stored in the receiving cylinder storage unit. Coins are stored until the section is full (FIG. 8), and the process moves to step SP11. Specifically, in this second storage operation pattern, the coin control unit 12 selects the receiving cylinder in all the stacker units 21 (that is, one stacker unit 21 in this embodiment) corresponding to the denomination of the coin to be stored. When the storage section becomes full, the delivery of coins from the upper separation section 15 as a delivery source is stopped, thereby stopping the delivery of coins to all the stacker sections 21 (in this embodiment, one stacker section 21). At the same time, by continuing to drive the pin belt conveyance section 18, the coins remaining between the upper separation section 15 and the stacker section 21 are conveyed in the pin belt conveyance section 18 in the same manner as in the withdrawal transaction (FIG. 9). The money is once transported to the deposit/withdrawal section 13 along the route. The coins conveyed to the deposit/withdrawal section 13 fall onto the upper separating section 15 . When the conveyance of the coins remaining in the pin belt conveyance section 18 to the deposit/withdrawal section 13 is completed, the coin control section 12 moves to step SP11. In steps SP11 and SP12, the coin control unit 12 performs the processing described above.

ステップSP12において肯定結果が得られると、硬貨制御部12はステップSP1へ戻り、受入対象筒収納部に硬貨を収納し切れなかった金種の硬貨を収納する全てのスタッカ部21の筒収納部回転体55を同時に回転させて、更新された収納予定枚数以上の空き容量を有する筒収納部56を受入位置Prへ移動させ、それから上分離部15にある硬貨を繰り出させることで、再びスタッカ部21に搬送させ、収納する予定の硬貨の金種に対応した全てのスタッカ部21の収納予定枚数が0枚になるまで上述した処理を繰り返す。実際上、本実施の形態において金種数閾値は1に設定されているため、硬貨制御部12は、受入対象筒収納部に硬貨を収納し切れなかった金種の硬貨を収納する1つのスタッカ部21の筒収納部回転体55を回転させる。 If a positive result is obtained in step SP12, the coin control section 12 returns to step SP1, and rotates the tube storage section of all the stacker sections 21 that store coins of denominations that cannot be stored in the receiving tube storage section. The body 55 is simultaneously rotated to move the cylindrical storage section 56 having a free space equal to or greater than the updated number of coins to be stored to the receiving position Pr, and then the coins in the upper separating section 15 are fed out, thereby stacking the coins in the stacker section 21 again. The above-described process is repeated until the number of coins to be stored in all the stackers 21 corresponding to the denominations of coins to be stored becomes zero. In practice, in this embodiment, the threshold for the number of denominations is set to 1, so the coin control unit 12 uses one stacker to store coins of denominations that cannot be stored in the receiving tube storage section. The tube housing rotary body 55 of the section 21 is rotated.

一方ステップSP12において否定結果が得られると、このとき硬貨制御部12は第1収納動作パターンと同様にステップSP13へ移り収納処理手順RT1を終了する。 On the other hand, if a negative result is obtained in step SP12, then the coin control unit 12 moves to step SP13, similarly to the first storage operation pattern, and ends the storage processing procedure RT1.

[6.効果等]
以上の構成において現金自動預払機1は、入金計数処理において確定した、それぞれのスタッカ部21に収納する予定の硬貨枚数である収納予定枚数と、筒収納部56それぞれの空き容量とを比較した結果に応じて、2パターンの収納動作を選択するようにした。
[6. Effects, etc.]
In the above configuration, the automatic teller machine 1 compares the scheduled storage number, which is the number of coins scheduled to be stored in each stacker section 21 determined in the deposit counting process, with the free capacity of each cylinder storage section 56. Two patterns of storage operation can be selected depending on the situation.

具体的に現金自動預払機1は、収納する予定の硬貨を筒収納部56A、56B及び56Cの何れか1つだけでは収納し切れず、収納途中で受入対象筒収納部の切り替えが必要となるスタッカ部21が1つ(1金種)のみ、又は0である場合は、第2収納動作パターンを実行し、受入対象筒収納部の切り替えが必要な金種を収納すべき筒収納部56がフル状態になった時点で上分離部15からの硬貨の繰り出しを停止し、ピンベルト搬送部18において上分離部15とスタッカ部21との間に残留している硬貨を一旦入出金部13に搬送してから、受入対象筒収納部の切り替えを行うようにした。 Specifically, in the automatic teller machine 1, the coins to be stored cannot be stored in only one of the tube storage sections 56A, 56B, and 56C, and it is necessary to switch the receiving tube storage section during storage. If there is only one stacker section 21 (one denomination) or zero, the second storage operation pattern is executed and the cylinder storage section 56 that should store the denomination for which the receiving target cylinder storage section needs to be switched is selected. When the full state is reached, the feeding of coins from the upper separating section 15 is stopped, and the coins remaining between the upper separating section 15 and the stacker section 21 are temporarily conveyed to the depositing and dispensing section 13 in the pin belt conveying section 18. After that, the cylinder storage section to be accepted can be changed.

このため現金自動預払機1は、受入対象筒収納部の切り替えが必要な金種を収納すべき筒収納部56がフル状態になった後に、受入対象筒収納部に収納しきれなかった全ての硬貨を上分離部15から退避部としての入出金部13へ搬送してから受入対象筒収納部の切り替えを行う場合と比較して、上分離部15から入出金部13へ退避させる硬貨の枚数を削減できる。これにより現金自動預払機1は、上分離部15から入出金部13へ硬貨を退避させるための時間を低減できる。かくして現金自動預払機1は、入金取引時間を短縮できる。 For this reason, the automatic teller machine 1 stores all the denominations that cannot be stored in the acceptance target cylinder storage unit after the cylinder storage unit 56 that stores the denominations that require switching of the acceptance target cylinder storage unit becomes full. The number of coins to be evacuated from the upper separating part 15 to the depositing and dispensing part 13 compared to the case where the coins are transferred from the upper separating part 15 to the depositing and dispensing part 13 as an evacuation part and then switching the receiving cylinder storage part. can be reduced. Thereby, the automatic teller machine 1 can reduce the time required to evacuate coins from the upper separation section 15 to the deposit/withdrawal section 13. In this way, the automatic teller machine 1 can shorten the deposit transaction time.

ここで、金種数閾値が1に設定されている場合において第2収納動作パターンではなく第1収納動作パターンを実行する場合、受入対象筒収納部に収納しきれなかった1金種のみの硬貨を全て上分離部15から入出金部13へ搬送するという無駄な動作を行うこととなってしまう。これに対し、金種数閾値が1に設定されている場合において第2収納動作パターンを実行する場合、受入対象筒収納部に収納しきれなかった1金種のみの硬貨の上分離部15からの繰り出しを停止させる。このため、少なくとも金種数閾値が1に設定されている場合は、第1収納動作パターンではなく第2収納動作パターンを実行した方が、硬貨処理装置10は、受入対象筒収納部に収納しきれなかった1金種のみの硬貨を全て上分離部15から入出金部13へ搬送するという無駄な動作を行うことなく受入対象筒収納部の切り替えを行うことができる。 Here, when the first storage operation pattern is executed instead of the second storage operation pattern when the denomination number threshold is set to 1, coins of only one denomination that could not be fully stored in the receiving cylinder storage section. This results in a wasteful operation of transporting all of the money from the upper separating section 15 to the deposit/withdrawal section 13. On the other hand, when the second storage operation pattern is executed when the denomination number threshold is set to 1, coins of only one denomination that cannot be stored in the receiving tube storage section are removed from the upper separation section 15. stop feeding out. Therefore, at least when the denomination number threshold is set to 1, it is better to execute the second storage operation pattern instead of the first storage operation pattern so that the coin processing device 10 stores the coins in the receiving tube storage section. The receiving cylinder storage section can be switched without carrying out the wasteful operation of transporting all the coins of only one denomination that could not be removed from the upper separating section 15 to the depositing and dispensing section 13.

一方、現金自動預払機1は、収納する予定の硬貨を筒収納部56A、56B及び56Cの何れか1つだけでは収納し切れず、収納途中で受入対象筒収納部の切り替えが必要となるスタッカ部21が2つ(2金種)以上ある場合は、第1収納動作パターンを実行し、筒収納部56がフル状態になった金種の硬貨を入出金部13へ退避させながら、収納する予定の硬貨のうち筒収納部56がフル状態になっていない金種の硬貨の筒収納部56へ収納を継続するようにした。 On the other hand, the automatic teller machine 1 is a stacker in which the coins to be stored cannot be stored in only one of the cylinder storage parts 56A, 56B, and 56C, and it is necessary to switch the cylinder storage part to be accepted during storage. If there are two or more sections 21 (two denominations), the first storage operation pattern is executed, and the cylinder storage section 56 stores the coins of the full denomination while retracting them to the deposit/withdrawal section 13. Among the planned coins, coins of denominations for which the tube storage section 56 is not in a full state are continued to be stored in the tube storage section 56.

このため現金自動預払機1は、収納途中で受入対象筒収納部の切り替えが必要となるスタッカ部21が2金種以上ある場合に、どれか1金種でも受入対象筒収納部がフル状態になるとそれ以外の金種の硬貨をフル状態ではない受入対象筒収納部に収納せずに入出金部13へ退避させる場合と比較して、上分離部15から入出金部13へ退避させる硬貨の枚数を削減できる。これにより現金自動預払機1は、上分離部15から入出金部13へ硬貨を退避させるための時間を低減できる。かくして現金自動預払機1は、入金取引時間を短縮できる。 For this reason, in the automatic teller machine 1, when there are two or more denominations in the stacker section 21 that requires switching between the receiving tube storage sections during storage, the accepting tube storage section is in a full state even for any one denomination. Then, compared to the case where coins of other denominations are evacuated to the deposit/withdrawal section 13 without being stored in the receiving cylinder storage section which is not in a full state, the amount of coins withdrawn from the upper separating section 15 to the deposit/withdrawal section 13 is reduced. The number of sheets can be reduced. Thereby, the automatic teller machine 1 can reduce the time required to evacuate coins from the upper separation section 15 to the deposit/withdrawal section 13. In this way, the automatic teller machine 1 can shorten the deposit transaction time.

また現金自動預払機1は、第1収納パターンにおいて、受入対象筒収納部に収納しきれなかった全ての硬貨を入出金部13へ退避させた後に、フル状態となった受入対象筒収納部に該当する2金種以上のスタッカ部21における受入対象筒収納部の切り替えを同時に行うようにした。このため現金自動預払機1は、2金種以上のスタッカ部21における受入対象筒収納部の切り替えをそれぞれ別のタイミングで行う場合と比較して、受入対象筒収納部の切り替えに要する時間を低減できる。 In addition, in the first storage pattern, the automatic teller machine 1 evacuates all the coins that could not be stored in the receiving tube storage section to the deposit/withdrawal section 13, and then transfers them to the accepting tube storage section that is in a full state. The receiving cylinder storage sections in the stacker section 21 for two or more corresponding denominations are switched at the same time. Therefore, the automatic teller machine 1 reduces the time required to switch the receiving tube storage sections in the stacker section 21 for two or more denominations, compared to the case where the receiving tube storage sections are switched at different timings. can.

以上の構成によれば現金自動預払機1は、使用者の操作を受け付ける応対部3と、移動可能であり硬貨を重ねて収納可能な筒状の収納空間としての硬貨集積空間SPCが設けられた複数の筒収納部56を有し、それぞれ所定の金種が割り当てられた複数の収納部50と、硬貨が硬貨集積空間SPCに収納される受入位置Prに位置する筒収納部56を切り替え、受入位置Prに位置している筒収納部56に硬貨を収納させると共に、収納動作中において受入位置Prに位置している筒収納部56がフル状態になると、受入位置Prに位置する筒収納部56を切り替えた後に、硬貨を受入位置Prに位置する筒収納部56に再び収納する硬貨制御部12とを設け、硬貨制御部12は、収納しようとしている硬貨の枚数である収納予定枚数と、筒収納部56それぞれの空き容量とを金種毎に比較し、収納動作中において受入位置Prに位置する筒収納部56の切り替えが必要となる金種数が所定の金種数閾値以下である場合、収納動作中において受入位置Prに位置している筒収納部56がフル状態になる際に硬貨の搬送を一旦停止させ、受入位置Prに位置しているフル状態の筒収納部56を、フル状態ではない別の筒収納部56へ切り替えた後に、硬貨を受入位置Prに位置する筒収納部56に再び収納するようにした。 According to the above configuration, the automatic teller machine 1 is provided with a reception section 3 that receives operations from a user, and a coin accumulation space SPC that is movable and serves as a cylindrical storage space in which coins can be stacked and stored. The plurality of cylinder storage parts 56 each having a predetermined denomination are assigned to the cylinder storage part 56 located at the receiving position Pr where coins are stored in the coin accumulation space SPC are switched and accepted. When coins are stored in the cylinder storage part 56 located at the position Pr and the cylinder storage part 56 located at the receiving position Pr becomes full during the storage operation, the cylinder storage part 56 located at the reception position Pr A coin control unit 12 is provided which stores the coins again in the cylinder storage unit 56 located at the receiving position Pr after switching the coins. Compare the free capacity of each storage section 56 for each denomination, and if the number of denominations that requires switching of the cylindrical storage section 56 located at the receiving position Pr during the storage operation is equal to or less than a predetermined number of denomination thresholds. During the storage operation, when the cylinder storage section 56 located at the receiving position Pr becomes full, the conveyance of coins is temporarily stopped, and the cylinder storage section 56 located at the reception position Pr in the full state is turned into a full state. After switching to another cylinder storage part 56 which is not in the state, the coins are stored again in the cylinder storage part 56 located at the receiving position Pr.

これにより現金自動預払機1は、収納動作において硬貨の搬送中に受入位置Prに位置している筒収納部56がフル状態になった際に、筒収納部回転体55を回転させて受入位置Prに位置する筒収納部56を切り替える前に退避部である入出金部13へ一旦搬送する硬貨の枚数を削減できる。かくして現金自動預払機1は、入金取引の取引時間を短縮できる。さらに現金自動預払機1は、最終的な搬送先以外の場所に硬貨を搬送する回数を低減できるため、搬送中にジャムが発生する可能性も低減できる。 As a result, when the cylinder storage part 56 located at the receiving position Pr becomes full during coin transport in the storage operation, the automatic teller machine 1 rotates the cylinder storage part rotating body 55 to the receiving position. It is possible to reduce the number of coins that are temporarily transported to the deposit/withdrawal section 13, which is the evacuation section, before switching the cylinder storage section 56 located at Pr. In this way, the automatic teller machine 1 can shorten the transaction time for deposit transactions. Furthermore, since the automatic teller machine 1 can reduce the number of times coins are transported to locations other than the final destination, the possibility of jamming occurring during transport can also be reduced.

[7.他の実施の形態]
なお上述した実施の形態において硬貨処理装置10は、金種数閾値を1に設定する場合について述べた。本発明はこれに限らず、硬貨処理装置10は、金種数閾値を2以上の任意の数に設定しても良い。収納途中で受入対象筒収納部の切り替えが必要となるスタッカ部21が2金種以上の場合においても第2収納パターンを実行する場合、それら2金種以上のスタッカ部21における受入対象筒収納部の切り替えを同時に行うことはできず別々のタイミングで切り替えを行う必要はあるものの、第1収納パターンよりも第2収納パターンの方が最終的な入金取引時間を短縮できる可能性はある。
[7. Other embodiments]
In addition, in the embodiment mentioned above, the coin processing device 10 has described the case where the denomination number threshold is set to one. The present invention is not limited to this, and the coin processing device 10 may set the denomination number threshold to an arbitrary number of 2 or more. If the second storage pattern is executed even when the stacker section 21 has two or more denominations, which requires switching of the receiving tube storage section during storage, the receiving tube storage section in the stacker section 21 of those two or more denominations will need to be changed. Although it is not possible to switch at the same time and it is necessary to switch at different timings, there is a possibility that the final deposit transaction time can be shorter with the second storage pattern than with the first storage pattern.

また上述した実施の形態において硬貨処理装置10は、収納処理手順RT1(図11)における第2収納動作パターンにおいて、収納する予定の硬貨の金種に対応した全てのスタッカ部21において何れかの受入対象筒収納部がフル状態となると、上分離部15からの硬貨の繰り出しを停止させることにより全てのスタッカ部21への硬貨搬送を停止させると共に、ピンベルト搬送部18の駆動を継続することにより、ピンベルト搬送部18において上分離部15とスタッカ部21との間に残留している硬貨を一旦入出金部13に搬送させ、ピンベルト搬送部18に残留した硬貨の入出金部13への搬送を完了させる場合について述べた。 Further, in the embodiment described above, the coin processing device 10 is configured to accept any one of the receiving operations in all the stackers 21 corresponding to the denomination of the coin to be stored in the second storage operation pattern in the storage processing procedure RT1 (FIG. 11). When the target cylindrical storage section becomes full, the feeding of coins from the upper separating section 15 is stopped, thereby stopping the conveyance of coins to all the stacker sections 21, and at the same time, by continuing to drive the pin belt conveying section 18, The coins remaining between the upper separating section 15 and the stacker section 21 in the pin belt conveyance section 18 are once conveyed to the deposit/withdrawal section 13, and the conveyance of the coins remaining on the pin belt conveyance section 18 to the deposit/withdrawal section 13 is completed. I have described the case where

本発明はこれに限らず、硬貨処理装置10は、硬貨を上分離部15から繰り出しつつ、収納する予定の硬貨の金種に対応した全てのスタッカ部21における受入対象筒収納部の空き容量を随時監視し、空き容量がなくなる(すなわちフル状態となる)枚数分だけ上分離部15から硬貨を繰り出した場合、硬貨が受入対象筒収納部に収納される前に、上分離部15からの硬貨の繰り出しを停止させることにより、ピンベルト搬送部18における上分離部15とスタッカ部21との間に硬貨が残留しないようにし、その状態で、受入対象筒収納部に硬貨を収納し切れなかった金種の硬貨を収納する全てのスタッカ部21の筒収納部回転体55を回転させても良い。その場合、ピンベルト搬送部18に残留した硬貨を入出金部13に搬送する時間を省くことができる。 The present invention is not limited to this, and the coin processing device 10, while feeding out coins from the upper separating section 15, checks the available capacity of the receiving tube storage sections in all the stacker sections 21 corresponding to the denominations of coins to be stored. If the coins are continuously monitored and fed out from the upper separation section 15 by the number of coins that have no free space (that is, the coins are in a full state), the coins are removed from the upper separation section 15 before the coins are stored in the receiving cylinder storage section. By stopping the feeding of coins, coins are prevented from remaining between the upper separation section 15 and the stacker section 21 in the pin belt conveyance section 18, and in this state, coins that cannot be stored in the receiving tube storage section are removed. The tube storage rotating bodies 55 of all the stacker units 21 that store seed coins may be rotated. In that case, the time required to transport the coins remaining in the pin belt transport section 18 to the deposit/withdrawal section 13 can be saved.

又は、硬貨処理装置10は、収納する予定の硬貨の金種に対応した全てのスタッカ部21において何れかの受入対象筒収納部がフル状態となると、上分離部15からの硬貨の繰り出しを停止させると共に、直ちにピンベルト搬送部18の駆動を停止し、その状態で、受入対象筒収納部に硬貨を収納し切れなかった金種の硬貨を収納する全てのスタッカ部21の筒収納部回転体55を回転させても良い。その場合、ピンベルト搬送部18上の硬貨がピンベルトの搬送ピンから離れてしまい挙動が不安定になる可能性はあるものの、ピンベルト搬送部18に残留した硬貨を入出金部13に搬送する時間を省くことができる。 Alternatively, the coin processing device 10 stops feeding out coins from the upper separating section 15 when any of the receiving tube storage sections in all the stacker sections 21 corresponding to the denominations of coins to be stored becomes full. At the same time, the driving of the pin belt conveying section 18 is immediately stopped, and in this state, the tube storage section rotating body 55 of all the stacker sections 21 that stores coins of denominations that cannot be stored in the receiving tube storage section. You can also rotate the . In that case, although there is a possibility that the coins on the pin belt conveying section 18 will separate from the conveying pins of the pin belt and the behavior will become unstable, the time required to convey the coins remaining on the pin belt conveying section 18 to the deposit/withdrawal section 13 can be saved. be able to.

さらに上述した実施の形態において硬貨処理装置10は、収納処理手順RT1(図11)におけるステップSP12において肯定結果が得られると、受入対象筒収納部に硬貨を収納し切れなかった金種の硬貨を収納する全てのスタッカ部21の筒収納部回転体55を同時に回転させる場合について述べた。本発明はこれに限らず、硬貨処理装置10は、受入対象筒収納部に硬貨を収納し切れなかった金種の硬貨を収納する全てのスタッカ部21の筒収納部回転体55を同時に回転させなくても良い。但し、可能な限り多くの数のスタッカ部21の筒収納部回転体55を同時に回転させた方が、硬貨処理装置10は、受入対象筒収納部に硬貨を収納し切れなかった金種の硬貨を収納する全てのスタッカ部21の受入対象筒収納部を切り替える処理を早く完了できる。 Furthermore, in the embodiment described above, when a positive result is obtained in step SP12 in the storage processing procedure RT1 (FIG. 11), the coin processing device 10 removes coins of denominations that cannot be fully stored in the receiving tube storage section. The case has been described in which the cylinder housing rotating bodies 55 of all the stacker units 21 to be stored are simultaneously rotated. The present invention is not limited to this, and the coin processing device 10 simultaneously rotates the cylinder storage unit rotating bodies 55 of all the stacker units 21 that store coins of denominations that cannot be stored in the receiving target cylinder storage unit. You don't have to. However, it is better to simultaneously rotate as many cylinder storage unit rotating bodies 55 of stacker units 21 as possible, so that the coin processing device 10 can handle coins of denominations that cannot be stored in the receiving target cylinder storage unit. It is possible to quickly complete the process of switching the receiving tube storage parts of all the stacker parts 21 that store the cylinders.

さらに上述した実施の形態において硬貨処理装置10は、各スタッカ部21に6種類の金種の1金種ずつをそれぞれ割り当てる場合について述べた。本発明はこれに限らず、硬貨処理装置10は、所定の金種を2つ以上のスタッカ部21に割り当てても良い。 Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, the case has been described in which the coin processing device 10 allocates one denomination of six denominations to each stacker section 21, respectively. The present invention is not limited to this, and the coin processing device 10 may allocate a predetermined denomination to two or more stacker sections 21.

さらに上述した実施の形態において硬貨処理装置10は、収納処理において、筒収納部56に収納しきれなかった硬貨を一時的に退避させる退避部として入出金部13を用いる場合について述べた。本発明はこれに限らず、硬貨処理装置10は、筒収納部56に収納しきれなかった硬貨を一時的に退避させる専用の退避部を別途設けても良い。 Further, in the above-described embodiment, the coin processing device 10 uses the deposit/withdrawal section 13 as a retraction section for temporarily retracting coins that cannot be stored in the cylinder storage section 56 in the storage process. The present invention is not limited to this, and the coin processing device 10 may separately provide a dedicated retraction section for temporarily retracting coins that cannot be stored in the cylinder storage section 56.

さらに上述した実施の形態において硬貨処理装置10は、収納処理手順RT1(図11)における第1収納動作パターンにおいて、筒収納部56がフル状態になった金種の硬貨を入出金部13へ退避させながら、収納する予定の硬貨のうち筒収納部56がフル状態にならない金種の硬貨の筒収納部56へ収納を継続する場合について述べた。本発明はこれに限らず、硬貨処理装置10は、第1収納動作パターンにおいて、収納途中でどれか1金種でも受入対象筒収納部がフル状態になるとそれ以外の金種の硬貨をフル状態ではない受入対象筒収納部に収納せずに入出金部13へ退避させても良い。 Furthermore, in the embodiment described above, the coin processing device 10 evacuates coins of the denomination for which the cylinder storage section 56 is in a full state to the deposit/withdrawal section 13 in the first storage operation pattern in the storage processing procedure RT1 (FIG. 11). A case has been described in which, among the coins scheduled to be stored, coins of a denomination for which the tube storage section 56 does not reach a full state are continued to be stored in the tube storage section 56. The present invention is not limited to this, and in the first storage operation pattern, when the receiving cylinder storage section of any one denomination becomes full during storage, the coin processing device 10 stores coins of other denominations in the full state. It is also possible to evacuate it to the deposit/withdrawal section 13 without storing it in the receiving tube storage section.

さらに上述した実施の形態において硬貨処理装置10は、収納処理において、筒収納部56A、56B及び56C全ての空き容量が収納予定枚数未満の場合、筒収納部56Aを受入対象筒収納部として設定する場合について述べた。本発明はこれに限らず、硬貨処理装置10は、筒収納部56A、56B及び56C全ての空き容量が収納予定枚数未満の場合、筒収納部56B又は筒収納部56Cの何れかを受入対象筒収納部として設定しても良い。 Furthermore, in the embodiment described above, in the storage process, if the free capacity of all the cylinder storage parts 56A, 56B, and 56C is less than the scheduled number of coins to be stored, the coin processing apparatus 10 sets the cylinder storage part 56A as the cylinder storage part to be accepted. I mentioned the case. The present invention is not limited to this, and when the free capacity of all of the cylinder storage units 56A, 56B, and 56C is less than the scheduled number of coins to be stored, the coin processing device 10 selects either the cylinder storage unit 56B or the cylinder storage unit 56C as a receiving target cylinder. It may also be set as a storage section.

さらに上述した実施の形態において硬貨処理装置10は、入金取引時において収納処理を行う場合について述べた。本発明はこれに限らず、硬貨処理装置10は、硬貨処理装置10内部に収納されている硬貨の枚数を計数する精査時における収納処理についても、同様の動作を行っても良い。また、硬貨処理装置10は、補充回収庫24内部に収納されている硬貨を指定の枚数だけスタッカ部21へ補充する補充時の、予めスタッカ部21へ収納する枚数が確定している取引における収納処理についても、同様の動作を行っても良い。 Furthermore, in the embodiments described above, the coin processing device 10 has been described as performing a storage process at the time of a deposit transaction. The present invention is not limited to this, and the coin processing device 10 may perform a similar operation for the storage process during inspection to count the number of coins stored inside the coin processing device 10. In addition, the coin processing device 10 is capable of storing coins in a transaction in which the number of coins to be stored in the stacker unit 21 is determined in advance at the time of replenishing the stacker unit 21 with a specified number of coins stored inside the replenishment and collection warehouse 24. Regarding processing, similar operations may be performed.

さらに上述した実施の形態において硬貨処理装置10は、筒収納部56を円周に沿った方向へ移動させ受入対象筒収納部と繰出対象筒収納部とを切り替える場合について述べた。本発明はこれに限らず、硬貨処理装置10は、筒収納部56を直線状や曲線状等、種々の移動経路に沿って移動させ、受入対象筒収納部と繰出対象筒収納部とを切り替えても良い。 Furthermore, in the embodiment described above, the coin processing device 10 has been described with reference to the case where the tube storage section 56 is moved in a direction along the circumference to switch between the receiving tube storage section and the delivery target tube storage section. The present invention is not limited to this, and the coin processing device 10 moves the tube storage section 56 along various movement paths such as a straight line or a curved shape, and switches between the receiving tube storage section and the dispensing tube storage section. It's okay.

さらに上述した実施の形態において硬貨処理装置10は、1つの筒収納部回転体55に3つの筒収納部56を設ける場合について述べた。本発明はこれに限らず、硬貨処理装置10は、1つの筒収納部回転体55に2つ又は4つ以上の任意の個数の筒収納部56を設けても良い。 Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, the coin processing device 10 has been described with reference to the case in which one tube storage section rotating body 55 is provided with three tube storage sections 56 . The present invention is not limited to this, and the coin processing device 10 may provide an arbitrary number of tube storage sections 56, such as two or four or more, in one tube storage section rotating body 55.

さらに上述した実施の形態においては、現金自動預払機1に組み込まれる硬貨処理装置10に本発明を適用する場合について述べた。本発明はこれに限らず、例えば自動券売機等のように顧客との間で硬貨に関する取引を行う種々の装置や、金融機関の職員や小売店の店員等が現金を管理するために使用する現金管理装置等に本発明を適用しても良い。 Furthermore, in the embodiment described above, the case where the present invention is applied to the coin processing device 10 incorporated in the automatic teller machine 1 has been described. The present invention is not limited to this, but is applicable to various devices such as automatic ticket vending machines that conduct transactions regarding coins with customers, and to be used by staff of financial institutions, clerks of retail stores, etc. to manage cash. The present invention may be applied to a cash management device or the like.

さらに本発明は、上述した各実施の形態及び他の実施の形態に限定されるものではない。すなわち本発明は、上述した各実施の形態と上述した他の実施の形態の一部又は全部を任意に組み合わせた実施の形態にも本発明の適用範囲が及ぶものである。また、本発明は、上述した各実施の形態及び上述した他の実施の形態のうち任意の実施の形態に記載された構成の一部を抽出し、上述した実施の形態及び他の実施の形態のうちの任意の実施の形態の構成の一部と置換・転用する場合や、該抽出された構成の一部を任意の実施の形態に追加する場合にも本発明の適用範囲が及ぶものである。 Furthermore, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments and other embodiments.
