  The invention according to claim 4 is the invention according to any one of claims 1 to 3, characterized in that the set portion of the bar metal tray is color-coded for each denomination.

  According to the first aspect of the present invention, the bar tray has the set part in which the denomination of the set bar is preset, and detects the presence or absence of the bar in all the set parts. There is provided a bar metal presence / absence detecting means, and the management means detects the presence or absence of the bar metal by detecting the presence / absence of the bar metal in the corresponding set portion by each bar metal presence / absence detecting means. As described above, since the bar presence / absence detecting means for detecting the presence / absence of the bar is provided in all the set portions, the amount of the bar can be detected at an arbitrary timing. In addition, since the denomination of the set bar is preset in the set unit, the bar presence / absence detecting means only needs to be able to detect the presence / absence of the bar, which simplifies the configuration and control, and reduces the cost. Can be achieved. Furthermore, the bar tray is provided with a set unit for a 100 yen bar, a 10 yen bar and a 1 yen bar, which are highly likely to be taken out, in the first range on the front side in the pulling out direction. Since the respective set portions for the low 500-yen bar, the 50-yen bar and the 5-yen bar are provided in the second range on the rear side in the pulling-out direction, the bar can be taken out efficiently.

A plurality of set parts for the second denomination are arranged on the other side in the left-right direction at the front part in the pull-out direction of the first range. A plurality of set parts for any third denomination are divided in the left and right sides at the rear of the first range in the drawing direction and arranged in parallel in the drawing direction. Because there is a low possibility, the set part for 500 yen bar, 50 yen bar and 5 yen bar is divided into denominations on the rear side and arranged side by side. When we can store various kinds of metal bars in a compact and efficient manner In addition, among 100-yen bar, 10-yen bar and 1-yen bar, two denominations (for example, 100 yen and 10 yen) that are more likely to be requested to be taken out can be stored in the forefront of the pull-out direction. Since one denomination (for example, 1 yen) with the next highest possibility of a removal request | requirement can be accommodated in the back side, the taking-out operation | work of a bar metal can be performed more efficiently.

  According to the invention of claim 3, the set portion for the first denomination of any of the 100 yen bar, the 10 yen bar, and the 1 yen bar with a high possibility of taking out is the first range. The front part in the pull-out direction is divided into left and right and arranged side by side in the pull-out direction, and a plurality of set parts for the second denomination are divided into left and right at the middle part in the pull-out direction of the first range. A plurality of set portions for any third denomination are divided into left and right at the rear of the first range in the pulling direction and arranged in parallel in the pulling direction. Because the set part for 500 yen bar, 50 yen bar, and 5 yen bar is less expensive and less in number, it is divided into different types on the rear side and arranged side by side. The bar can be stored compactly and efficiently, and 10 Of the round bar, the round bar, the round bar, and the round bar, the denomination that is most likely to be requested (for example, 10 yen) is placed at the forefront in the direction of withdrawal, and the possibility of the next withdrawal request. Since a high denomination (for example, 100 yen) can be stored on the rear side and a denomination (for example, 1 yen) that is most likely to be taken out next can be stored on the rear side, the bar metal can be removed more efficiently. Can do.

  According to the invention which concerns on Claim 4, since the set part of a bar metal tray is color-coded for every denomination, when setting a bar metal, which denomination bar should be set in which set part Immediate judgment can be made and the setting work can be speeded up. Even when the bar is taken out, it is possible to immediately determine which denomination of the bar is to be taken out from which set part, and it is possible to speed up the taking-out operation.

It is almost matched.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 6, each set part S1, S5, S10, S50, S100, and S500 described above has a concave shape that is recessed downward, and has a diameter larger than the outer diameter of the set bar. And a pair of end surfaces 66 rising from both sides in the axial direction of the bottom surface 65, and has an opening that is rectangular in plan view. The set bar is positioned at the lowest position depending on the shape of the bottom surface 65. In each of the set parts S1, S5, S10, S50, S100, and S500, denominations to be set in advance are displayed, and are color-coded for each denomination. In addition, the radius of the bottom face 65 of each set part S1, S5, S10, S50, S100, and S500 and the width | variety of an axis orthogonal direction shall be set according to the magnitude | size of the metal rod of the setting denomination set, respectively. Yes, it may be the same for all denominations.

  For example, each set part S10 for 10 yen bar B10 is displayed with the letter "10" on the bottom surface 65 and is painted in a predetermined first color, and each set part for 100 yen bar B100. In S100, the character “100” is displayed on the bottom surface 65 and is painted in a predetermined second color as a whole, and each set portion S1 for the 1-yen bar B1 displays the character “1” on the bottom surface 65.

  Also, the set part S1 for the 1-yen bar B1 and the set part S5 for the 5-yen bar B5 and the set part S10 for the 10-yen bar B10 having a short bar length to be set are set. The distance between both end faces 66 is set so that a bar longer than the power bar cannot enter. That is, the lengths of these set portions S1, S5, and S10 are set so that the 50-yen bar B50, the 100-yen bar B100, and the 500-yen bar B500 cannot be inserted.

  Then, in all the set portions S1, S5, S10, S50, S100, and S500 of the bar metal tray 51, a bar metal presence / absence detection sensor (bar metal presence / absence detecting means) 70 for detecting the presence or absence of the bar metal set in each of them. Is provided. Here, since the denomination of the set bar is set in advance in all the set units, the bar presence / absence detection sensor 70 can detect whether or not the set bar is set in the set unit. As long as it is a thing, for example, not only a metal rod but an object may be detected when an object is set. Specifically, a set switch that is turned on when a load of a predetermined value or more is applied to the bottom position of the bottom surface of the set unit, a light emitting element and a light receiving element are arranged so as to straddle the set unit, and an object is set on the set unit Then, the optical path between the light emitting element and the light receiving element is shielded, so that a transmissive optical sensor that detects the light path, the light emitting element and the light receiving element are disposed at the bottom position of the bottom surface of the set unit, and the object is located at the bottom position. When set, a reflective optical sensor that detects the light of the light emitting element reflected by the object and received by the light receiving element, a magnetic sensor that detects the magnetic property of the object set on the set unit, and the set A weight sensor or the like that detects the weight of the object set on the part can be used. When a set switch is used and a weight sensor is used, all the set parts S1, S5, S10, S50, S100, and S500 are provided so as to be able to be moved up and down so that they are individually lowered with a set of metal bars.

  Then, the outputs of all the bar metal presence / absence detection sensors 70 are scanned in a time-sharing manner by using a multiplexer circuit or the like, and can be identified, and transmitted to the bar metal storage control unit 60. The bar metal storage control unit 60 detects the amount of bar metal in the bar metal storage 14 based on the detection results of all the bar metal presence / absence detection sensors 70.

  Here, the bar storage control unit 60 is communicably connected to the POS register control unit 20, and the POS register control unit 20 further includes a banknote deposit / withdrawal control unit 36 and a coin deposit / withdrawal control unit 41. It is connected so that it can communicate. The POS cash register control unit 20 receives power supply from an external power source, and supplies power to the banknote deposit / withdrawal control unit 36, the coin deposit / withdrawal control unit 41, and the bar storage control unit 60, respectively. The POS cash register control unit 20 is communicably connected to a system management device 71 that controls all cash register devices 11.

  Then, the bar storage control unit 60 switches the opening / closing from the opened state in which the bar tray 51 is pulled out to the housing 50 to the closed state in which the bar 50 is retracted, and the closed position switch after the drawer switch 59 is switched from OFF to ON. If it is detected by turning on 58, the amount of bar metal in the bar metal storage 14 is detected based on the presence / absence of detection by all the bar metal presence / absence detection sensors 70. In other words, when the bar tray 51 is pulled out from the housing 50, the bar metal from the corresponding one of the set units S1, S5, S10, S50, S100, S500 for replenishment to the coin depositing and dispensing machine 31 is obtained. Or additional storage of the corresponding denominations of the metal bars B1, B5, B10, B50, B100, B500, etc. corresponding to any of the set parts S1, S5, S10, S50, S100, S500, etc. Since there is a high possibility that the amount of the metal bars B1, B5, B10, B50, B100, and B500 of the metal bar tray 51 will change, when the bar metal tray 51 is pulled out and stored in the housing 50, The current height is detected at the time. Since each set part S1, S5, S10, S50, S100, S500 is set in advance with a denomination of the bar metal to be set, the bar metal storage control unit 60 has each set part S1, S5, S10. , S50, S100, S500, the amount of bar metal in the bar metal storage 14 is detected based on the number of bar metal presence / absence detection sensors 70 that have detected the presence of bar metal.

  Further, when the bar storage control unit 60 detects off / on switching from off to on of the external power supply via the POS cash register control unit 20, it is based on whether or not all the bar metal presence / absence detection sensors 70 detect. The amount of bar metal in the bar storage 14 is detected. In other words, if an unstable power management situation occurs when the external power supply is turned off and the bar management is difficult, such as when a power failure occurs or a failure occurs, the bar is immediately restored when the power supply is restored. The amount of bar metal in the storage 14 is detected.

  Then, the bar metal storage control unit 60 transmits the detected amount of the bar metal to the POS cash register control unit 20, and the POS cash register control unit 20 stores the bar metal in the bar metal storage 14. The head amount is updated and stored, and the head amount is output to the system management device 71. Here, in the POS cash register control unit 20, for example, when there is an appropriate operation input to the operation unit 23, the amount of bar metal at that time is displayed on the display unit 24. Further, the system management device 71 calculates and displays the number and the like of the bar for each denomination to be prepared at the time of the next bar replenishment from the amount information of the bar sent to each register device 11. Based on this, the replenisher prepares the bar. Further, the system management device 71 monitors whether or not there is a denomination from which all the bar metal has been taken out for each cash register device 11, and there is a cashier device 11 having a replenishment denomination that has been taken out of all the bar metal.
