The money is discharged from the storage to the outside of the device. The storage is provided to be installed in the main body of the device for storing the money released from the storage. Inside the device; the switch gate is arranged on the upstream side of the coin outlet and the storage bank, and is used to switch the transfer destination of the money released from the storage bank to one of the coin outlet and the storage bank; The Ministry of Knowledge determines whether the process of draining money from the storage to the storage and recovering money from the storage has ended.
於上述之一態樣之金錢處理裝置中，係如上述般，設置回收處理結束偵知部，該回收處理結束偵知部，係偵知將金錢從收納庫排出至貯留庫且將來自貯留庫的金錢回收這一處理是否已經結束。藉此，藉由回收處理結束偵知部，金錢處理裝置可辨識來自貯留庫的金錢之回收結束的狀態，因此可在將來自貯留庫的金錢回收結束時結束回收處理。其結果，可抑制藉由回收處理被排出至貯留庫的金錢與藉由回收處理以外的處理被排出至貯留庫的金錢混雜。In one aspect of the money processing device described above, a recovery processing end detection unit is provided as described above, and the recovery processing end detection unit detects the discharge of money from the storage to the storage and the storage from the storage. Whether the process of money recovery has ended. Thereby, with the recovery processing end detection unit, the money processing device can recognize the status of the recovery of the money from the storage, and thus can end the recovery processing when the recovery of the money from the storage is completed. As a result, it is possible to prevent the money discharged into the storage tank by the recovery process from being mixed with the money discharged into the storage tank by a process other than the recovery process.
於上述之一態樣之金錢處理裝置中，較佳係回收處理結束偵知部包含：偵知於貯留庫內是否有金錢殘留之殘留偵知部。只要是這種構造，則可藉由殘留偵知部，防止在開始回收處理的時點發生於貯留庫殘留金錢的狀態。此外，可藉由殘留偵知部，偵知於貯留庫內是否殘留金錢，因此可於貯留庫內無金錢的狀態下結束回收處理。其結果，可防止藉由回收處理被排出至貯留庫的金錢與藉由回收處理以外的處理被排出至貯留庫的金錢混雜。亦即，可防止回收處理時來自貯留庫的金錢之回收遺漏。In the above-mentioned aspect of the money processing device, it is preferable that the recovery processing end detection unit includes a residual detection unit that detects whether there is any money remaining in the storage. As long as it has such a structure, the residual detection unit can prevent the state where money is left in the storage tank at the time when the collection process is started. In addition, the residual detection unit can detect whether or not money remains in the storage. Therefore, the recovery processing can be ended when there is no money in the storage. As a result, it is possible to prevent the money discharged into the storage tank by the recycling process from being mixed with the money discharged into the storage tank by a process other than the recycling process. That is, it is possible to prevent the collection omission of money from the storage tank during the collection process.
於上述之一態樣之金錢處理裝置中，較佳係回收處理結束偵知部包含：偵知貯留庫是否位於貯留金錢的裝設位置之裝設偵知部。只要是這種構造，則可藉由裝設偵知部，防止貯留庫不在裝設位置的狀態下結束回收處理。其結果，於下一次的回收處理等中，可將從收納庫釋出的金錢確實地排出至貯留庫內並貯留。In the above-mentioned aspect of the money processing device, it is preferable that the recovery processing end detection section includes: an installation detection section that detects whether the storage is located at the installation position where the money is stored. As long as it has such a structure, by installing a detection unit, it is possible to prevent the collection process from being completed in a state where the storage tank is not in the installation position. As a result, in the next collection process, etc., the money released from the storage can be reliably discharged into the storage and stored.
於上述一態樣之金錢處理裝置中，較佳係進一步具備進行回收處理的控制部，控制部構成為，於回收處理中，從收納庫將金錢排出至貯留庫，並在藉由回收處理結束偵知部偵知貯留庫已被裝設於裝置主體的裝設位置且於貯留庫已無金錢時，判斷為回收處理結束。只要是這種構造，則在控制部的控制下，可防止藉由回收處理被排出至貯留庫的金錢與藉由回收處理以外的處理被排出至貯留庫的金錢混雜，並可防止貯留庫不在裝設位置的狀態下結束回收處理。In the above-mentioned money processing device, it is preferable to further include a control unit that performs recovery processing. The control unit is configured to discharge the money from the storage to the storage during the recovery processing, and finish the recovery processing.

With this structure, under the control of the control unit, the money discharged to the storage tank by the recycling process can be prevented from being mixed with the money discharged to the storage tank by processes other than the recycling process, and the storage tank can be prevented from being left. The collection process is ended with the installation position.
於此情況中，較佳係控制部構成為，除了回收處理以外，另外進行溢流處理，且構成為，於溢流處理中，在收納於收納庫的金錢達到了表示前述收納庫已裝滿之第1枚數以上的情況下，將已達到第1枚數以上的幣值的金錢從收納庫排出至貯留庫，藉此判斷為溢流處理結束。只要是這種構造，則在控制部的控制下，可將溢流處理在與回收處理不同的時機結束。亦即，與在從貯留庫回收了金錢時結束的回收處理不同，於溢流處理中，係可在貯留庫殘留著金錢的狀態下結束處理。In this case, it is preferable that the control unit is configured to perform overflow processing in addition to the recovery processing, and is configured such that, in the overflow processing, when the money stored in the storage compartment reaches the level, the storage compartment is full. In the case of the first number or more, the money which has reached the currency value of the first number or more is discharged from the storage to the storage, thereby determining that the overflow processing is completed. As long as it has such a structure, under the control of the control unit, the overflow processing can be ended at a different timing from the recovery processing. That is, unlike the recovery process that is completed when money is recovered from the storage tank, in the overflow process, the process can be ended with money remaining in the storage tank.
於上述控制部除了回收處理以外另外進行溢流處理的構造中，較佳係進一步具備判別計數部，該判別計數部，係配置於收納庫的上游側，判別投入至投幣口的金錢的幣值，並計數判別後的金錢，控制部構成為，將於判別計數部計數後的金錢收納至收納庫，並在收納於收納庫的金錢成為比第1枚數多之既定的第2枚數以上的情況下，不透過收納庫而將金錢排出至貯留庫。只要是這種構造，則可防止將超過第1枚數的金錢收納至收納庫，或是將超過收納庫可收納的額度的金錢搬送至收納庫。In the structure in which the control unit performs overflow processing in addition to the recovery process, it is preferable to further include a discrimination counting unit which is arranged on the upstream side of the storage and judges the currency value of the money put into the coin slot. , And count the discriminated money, and the control unit is configured to store the money counted by the discriminating counting unit in the storage, and the money stored in the storage becomes a predetermined second number or more than the first number. In the case of money, the money is discharged to the storage without going through the storage. With this structure, it is possible to prevent money exceeding the first number from being stored in the storage, or to transfer money exceeding the amount that can be stored in the storage to the storage.
於進一步具備上述控制部的構造中，較佳係控制部構成為，除了回收處理以外，另外進行溢流處理，且構成為，於溢流處理中，將既定枚數所指定的幣值的金錢從收納庫排出至貯留庫，藉此判斷為溢流處理結束。只要是這種構造，則在控制部的控制下，可將溢流處理在與回收處理不同的時機結束。此外，可防止溢流處理在從收納庫將金錢排出至貯留庫的途中結束。In the structure further including the above-mentioned control unit, it is preferable that the control unit is configured to perform overflow processing in addition to the recovery processing, and is configured to, in the overflow processing, remove the money of the currency value designated by the predetermined number from The storage tank is discharged to the storage tank, whereby it is determined that the overflow processing is completed. As long as it has such a structure, under the control of the control unit, the overflow processing can be ended at a different timing from the recovery processing. In addition, it is possible to prevent the overflow process from being completed while discharging money from the storage to the storage.
於具備進行上述回收處理的控制部的構造中，較佳係進一步具備顯示部，該顯示部，係於自開始從收納庫釋出金錢到回收處理結束偵知部偵知來自貯留庫的金錢之回收已結束為止的期間，進行關於回收處理的既定顯示。只要是這種構造，則藉由顯示部，使用者可容易掌握回收處理是否未完成。In the structure provided with the control part which performs the said recovery process, it is preferable to further provide a display part which detects the money from the storage from the start of the release of money from the storage to the completion of the recovery processing detection part. During the period until the collection is completed, a predetermined display of the collection process is performed. With such a structure, the user can easily grasp whether the recycling process has not been completed by the display portion.
依據本發明，如上述般，可抑制藉由回收處理被排出至貯留庫的金錢與藉由回收處理以外的處理被排出至貯留庫的金錢混雜。According to the present invention, as described above, it is possible to suppress the contamination of the money discharged to the storage tank by the recovery process and the money discharged to the storage tank by the process other than the recovery process.

If the discharge of all the released coins K1 to the coin outlet 103 is not completed, step S5 is repeated. When the discharge of all the released coins K1 to the coin outlet 103 has been completed, the processing proceeds to step S6.
接著，於步驟S6中，藉由控制部7，於顯示部105顯示硬幣K1的釋出處理(出幣處理)結束的內容。以上，硬幣K1的釋出處理(出幣處理)結束。Next, in step S6, the control unit 7 displays on the display unit 105 the contents of the completion of the release process (withdrawal process) of the coin K1. As described above, the release process (withdrawal process) of the coin K1 ends.
接著，於步驟S7中，藉由控制部7，將第2出幣切換閘5b的搬送目的地切換成貯留庫106。接著，處理前進至步驟S8。Next, in step S7, the control unit 7 switches the transfer destination of the second coin dispensing switch 5b to the storage 106. Then, the process proceeds to step S8.
接著，於步驟S8中，藉由控制部7，驅動出幣搬送部5。接著，處理前進至步驟S9。Next, in step S8, the control unit 7 drives the coin delivery unit 5. Then, the process proceeds to step S9.
接著，於步驟S9中，藉由控制部7，從收納庫4釋出找零用的硬幣K1。另外，硬幣K1之幣值的釋出枚數，係根據由POS暫存裝置R的操作部(未圖示)或硬幣處理裝置100的操作部104，釋出依每次處理所指示的枚數、或是所預先設定的枚數。接著，處理前進至步驟S10。Next, in step S9, the control unit 7 releases the coin K1 for change from the storage 4. In addition, the number of coins K1 released is based on the number of pieces indicated by each processing according to the operation section (not shown) of the POS temporary storage device R or the operation section 104 of the coin processing device 100. Or the preset number. Then, the process proceeds to step S10.
接著，於步驟S10中，藉由控制部7，判斷從收納庫4釋出的所有硬幣K1往貯留庫106的排出是否已結束。在釋出的所有硬幣K1往貯留庫106的排出未結束的情況下，係重複步驟S10。另外，藉由控制部7，依照幣值管理貯留於貯留庫106的硬幣K1。亦即，藉由控制部7，於從收納庫4搬送至貯留庫106時，指示搬送至貯留庫106的幣值及枚數會與在貯留庫106所管理(貯留於貯留庫106)的各幣值及枚數逐次相加。此外，對於貯留庫106之硬幣K1的搬送處理的結束偵知條件，係在指示(設定)的幣值及枚數的搬送完成時結束。用來完成搬送的幣值及枚數係藉由釋出計數部82計數。在釋出的所有硬幣K1往貯留庫106的排出結束的情況下，係處理前進至步驟S11。Next, in step S10, the control unit 7 determines whether or not all the coins K1 released from the storage 4 to the storage 106 have been discharged. When the discharge of all the released coins K1 to the storage bin 106 is not completed, step S10 is repeated. In addition, the control unit 7 manages the coins K1 stored in the storage tank 106 in accordance with the currency value. That is, the control unit 7 instructs the currency value and the number of pieces to be transferred to the storage 106 when being transferred from the storage 4 to the storage 106, and the value of each currency managed in the storage 106 (stored in the storage 106). And the numbers are successively added. In addition, the condition for detecting the completion of the transfer processing of the coin K1 in the storage 106 is completed when the transfer (indicated) of the value and the number of coins is completed. The value and the number of coins used to complete the transfer are counted by the release counting section 82. When the discharge of all the released coins K1 to the storage 106 is completed, the processing proceeds to step S11.
於步驟S11中，藉由控制部7，在釋出處理為溢流處理的情況下，係判斷為處理前進至步驟S6。並且，於步驟S6中，藉由控制部7，於顯示部105顯示硬幣K1的釋出處理(溢流處理)結束的內容。以上，硬幣K1的釋出處理(溢流處理)結束。In step S11, when the release process is an overflow process by the control unit 7, it is determined that the process proceeds to step S6. In step S6, the control unit 7 displays the completion of the release process (overflow process) of the coin K1 on the display unit 105. This completes the release process (overflow process) of the coin K1.
於步驟S11中，藉由控制部7，在釋出處理為回收處理的情況下，係判斷為處理前進至步驟S12。In step S11, when the release process is a recovery process, the control unit 7 determines that the process proceeds to step S12.
接著，於步驟S12中，藉由控制部7，使用裝設偵知部84b判斷貯留庫106是否位於貯留硬幣K1的裝設位置。亦即，判斷貯留庫106是否配置於用來接收從收納庫4釋出的硬幣K1的既定位置。在貯留庫106不位於裝設位置的情況下，重複步驟S12，在位於裝設位置的情況下，處理前進至步驟S13。Next, in step S12, the control unit 7 uses the installation detection unit 84b to determine whether the storage bin 106 is located at the installation position of the stored coin K1. That is, it is determined whether the storage bin 106 is arranged at a predetermined position for receiving the coins K1 released from the storage bin 4. If the storage tank 106 is not located at the installation position, step S12 is repeated. If it is located at the installation position, the process proceeds to step S13.
接著，於步驟S13中，藉由控制部7，使用殘留偵知部84a判斷貯留庫106內是否有硬幣K1殘留。亦即，藉由步驟S12及步驟S13，判斷貯留庫106是否已從殼體100a被拉出(卸下)而從貯留庫106取出硬幣K1。於貯留庫106內殘留有硬幣K1的情況下，處理返回步驟S12。於貯留庫106內無殘留硬幣K1的情況下，處理前進至步驟S6。另外，藉由回收處理所回收的硬幣K1的枚數，係在開始回收處理時所指示的枚數(或是在預先設定的回收處理時所排出的既定枚數)與在開始回收處理的時點已經貯留於貯留庫106的枚數之合計。也有在開始回收處理的時點已經被貯留於貯留庫106的硬幣K1為零枚的情況。此外，在硬幣K1從貯留庫106被回收，而於貯留庫106內無殘留硬幣K1的情況下，貯留於貯留庫106的每種幣值的枚數為歸零(設定為零枚)。接著，於步驟S6中，藉由控制部7，於顯示部105顯示硬幣K1的釋出處理(回收處理)結束的內容。以上，硬幣K1的釋出處理(回收處理)結束。
(第1實施形態的效果)Next, in step S13, the control unit 7 uses the remaining detection unit 84a to determine whether there are coins K1 remaining in the storage 106. That is, in step S12 and step S13, it is determined whether the depository 106 has been pulled out (unloaded) from the case 100a, and the coin K1 is taken out from the depository 106. When the coin K1 remains in the storage 106, the process returns to step S12. When there are no remaining coins K1 in the storage 106, the process proceeds to step S6. In addition, the number of coins K1 recovered by the recovery process is the number of coins indicated at the start of the recovery process (or the predetermined number discharged during the preset recovery process) and the point in time when the recovery process is started The total number of pieces that have been stored in the storage 106. There may be a case where the number of coins K1 already stored in the storage bin 106 is zero at the time when the collection process is started. In addition, when the coin K1 is recovered from the storage 106 and there is no residual coin K1 in the storage 106, the number of each kind of coin value stored in the storage 106 is reset to zero (set to zero). Next, in step S6, the control unit 7 displays the completion of the release process (recovery process) of the coin K1 on the display unit 105. This completes the release process (recovery process) of the coin K1.
(Effect of the first embodiment)
於第1實施形態中，可得到如以下般的效果。In the first embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.
於第1實施形態中，係如上述般設置回收處理結束偵知部84，該回收處理結束偵知部84，係偵知從收納庫4將硬幣K1排出至貯留庫106且將來自貯留庫106的硬幣K1回收這一處理是否已經結束。藉此，藉由回收處理結束偵知部84，硬幣處理裝置100可辨識來自貯留庫106之硬幣K1的回收結束的狀態，因此可根據來自貯留庫106的硬幣K1之回收結束而結束回收處理。其結果，可抑制藉由回收處理被排出至貯留庫106的硬幣K1與藉由回收處理以外的處理被排出至貯留庫106的硬幣K1混雜。In the first embodiment, the recovery process end detection unit 84 is provided as described above. The recovery process end detection unit 84 detects that the coins K1 are discharged from the storage 4 to the storage 106 and from the storage 106 Whether the processing of recycling of coins K1 has ended. With this, the recovery processing end detection unit 84 allows the coin processing apparatus 100 to recognize the state of the recovery of the coins K1 from the storage 106, and thus can end the recovery processing based on the recovery of the coins K1 from the storage 106. As a result, it is possible to prevent the coin K1 discharged into the storage tank 106 by the recovery process and the coin K1 discharged into the storage tank 106 by a process other than the recovery process.
此外，於第1實施形態中，係如上述般回收處理結束偵知部84包含偵知於貯留庫106內是否有硬幣K1殘留的殘留偵知部84a。藉此，可藉由殘留偵知部84a，防止在開始回收處理的時點發生於貯留庫106殘留有硬幣K1的狀態。此外，可藉由殘留偵知部84a，偵知於貯留庫106內是否殘留有硬幣K1，因此可於貯留庫106內無硬幣K1的狀態下結束回收處理。其結果，可防止藉由回收處理被排出至貯留庫106的硬幣K1與藉由回收處理以外的處理被排出至貯留庫106的硬幣K1混雜。亦即，可防止於回收處理中來自貯留庫106的硬幣K1之回收遺漏。In the first embodiment, as described above, the recovery process end detection unit 84 includes a residual detection unit 84a that detects whether or not coins K1 remain in the storage 106. With this, the state where the coin K1 remains in the storage tank 106 at the time when the collection process is started can be prevented by the remaining detection unit 84a. In addition, the presence of the coin K1 in the storage 106 can be detected by the residue detection unit 84a, so that the recovery process can be completed without the coin K1 in the storage 106. As a result, it is possible to prevent the coin K1 discharged into the storage tank 106 by the recovery process and the coin K1 discharged into the storage tank 106 by a process other than the recovery process. That is, the collection of coins K1 from the storage tank 106 during the collection process can be prevented from being missed.
此外，於第1實施形態中，係如上述般回收處理結束偵知部84包含偵知貯留庫106是否位於貯留硬幣K1的裝設位置的裝設偵知部84b。藉此，可藉由裝設偵知部84b，防止貯留庫106不在裝設位置的狀態下結束回收處理。其結果，於下一次的回收處理等中，可將從收納庫4釋出的硬幣K1確實地排出至貯留庫106內並貯留。In addition, in the first embodiment, the recovery processing completion detection unit 84 includes the installation detection unit 84b that detects whether the storage 106 is located at the installation position of the stored coin K1 as described above. Thereby, by installing the detection unit 84b, it is possible to prevent the collection process from being completed without the storage tank 106 being in the installation position. As a result, in the next collection process and the like, the coins K1 released from the storage 4 can be reliably discharged into the storage 106 and stored.
此外，於第1實施形態中，係如上述般進一步具備進行回收處理的控制部7，控制部7構成為，於回收處理中，從收納庫4將硬幣K1排出至貯留庫106，並在藉由回收處理結束偵知部84偵知貯留庫106已被裝設於裝置主體的裝設位置且於貯留庫106已無硬幣K1時，判斷為回收處理結束。藉此，在控制部7的控制下，可防止藉由回收處理被排出至貯留庫106的硬幣K1與藉由回收處理以外的處理被排出至貯留庫106的硬幣K1混雜，並可防止貯留庫106不在裝設位置的狀態下結束回收處理。Further, in the first embodiment, as described above, the control unit 7 is further provided with a recovery process. The control unit 7 is configured to discharge the coin K1 from the storage 4 to the storage 106 during the recovery process, and to borrow When the recovery processing end detection unit 84 detects that the storage tank 106 has been installed at the installation position of the apparatus main body and the storage tank 106 has no coins K1, it is determined that the recovery processing is completed. Thereby, under the control of the control unit 7, it is possible to prevent the coin K1 discharged to the storage bin 106 by the recycling process from being mixed with the coin K1 discharged to the storage bin 106 by a process other than the recycling process, and to prevent the storage bin 106 ends the recovery process without the installation position.
此外，於第1實施形態中，係如上述般控制部7構成為，除了回收處理以外，另外進行溢流處理，於溢流處理中，在被收納於收納庫4的硬幣K1達到了表示前述收納庫4已大致裝滿之第1枚數以上的情況下，將已達到第1枚數以上的幣值的硬幣K1從收納庫4排出至貯留庫106，藉此判斷為溢流處理結束。藉此，在控制部7的控制下，可將溢流處理在與回收處理不同的時機結束。亦即，與在從貯留庫106回收了硬幣K1時結束的回收處理不同，於溢流處理中，係可在貯留庫106殘留著硬幣K1的狀態下結束處理。In addition, in the first embodiment, the control unit 7 is configured to perform an overflow process in addition to the recovery process, and in the overflow process, the coin K1 stored in the storage 4 reaches the above-mentioned meaning. When the storage bin 4 is substantially full or more than the first number, the coin K1 having reached the denomination value of the first number or more is discharged from the storage bin 4 to the storage bin 106, thereby determining that the overflow processing is completed. Thereby, under the control of the control unit 7, the overflow processing can be ended at a different timing from the recovery processing. That is, unlike the recovery process that is completed when the coin K1 is recovered from the storage tank 106, in the overflow process, the process can be ended with the coin K1 remaining in the storage tank 106.
此外，於第1實施形態中，係如上述般，進一步具備硬幣辨識部1a，該硬幣辨識部1a，係配置於收納庫4的上游側，判別投入至投幣口101的硬幣K1的幣值，並計數判別後的硬幣K1，控制部7構成為，將於硬幣辨識部1a計數後的硬幣K1收納至收納庫4，並在收納於收納庫4的硬幣K1成為比第1枚數多之既定的第2枚數以上的情況下，不透過收納庫4而將硬幣K1排出至貯留庫106。藉此，可防止將超過第1枚數的硬幣K1收納至收納庫4，或是將超過收納庫4可收納的額度的硬幣K1搬送至收納庫4。In addition, in the first embodiment, as described above, it further includes a coin discriminating unit 1a, which is arranged on the upstream side of the storage 4 and judges the value of the coin K1 put into the coin slot 101. The counted coins K1 are counted, and the control unit 7 is configured to store the coins K1 counted by the coin discriminating unit 1a in the storage 4 and set the predetermined number of coins K1 stored in the storage 4 to be larger than the first number In the case of the second number or more, the coins K1 are discharged to the storage 106 without passing through the storage 4. This can prevent the coins K1 exceeding the first number from being stored in the storage 4 or the coins K1 exceeding the amount that can be stored in the storage 4 are transferred to the storage 4.
此外，於第1實施形態中，係如上述般，控制部7構成為，除了回收處理以外，另外進行溢流處理，且構成為，於溢流處理中，將既定枚數的所指定幣值的金錢從收納庫4排出至貯留庫106，藉此判斷為溢流處理結束。藉此，在控制部7的控制下，可將溢流處理在與回收處理不同的時機結束。此外，可防止在從收納庫4將金錢排出至貯留庫106的途中結束溢流處理。In addition, in the first embodiment, as described above, the control unit 7 is configured to perform an overflow process in addition to the recovery process, and is configured to perform a predetermined number of predetermined currency values in the overflow process in the overflow process. Money is discharged from the storage 4 to the storage 106, and it is determined that the overflow processing is completed.
