Moreover, the memory | storage part 206 of the coin processing history in the coin processing apparatus 10, the stock amount for every denomination of the rose coin accommodated in the storage area | regions 52a-52f of each storage and feeding part 52, and the packaging coin storage part 100 of the coin. Information such as the amount of money for each denomination of the wrapping coins stored in each storage tray 102 is stored. Further, the control unit 200 can transmit and receive various signals to and from an external device such as a host terminal via the communication interface unit 208.

  The control unit 200 is connected to a specific state detection unit 210 that detects, for each storage / feeding unit 52, that each storage / feeding unit 52 is in a specific state. Here, the specific state that should be detected by the specific state detection unit 210 refers to a state in which loose coins cannot be paid out from the storage and feeding unit 52. Specifically, the specific state to be detected by the specific state detection unit 210 is such that the loose coins to be dispensed are insufficient in the storage and feeding unit 52, the coin feeding unit 52p of the storage and feeding unit 52, and the like. This refers to a state in which clogged rose coins have occurred. In addition, when the specific state detection unit 210 detects that the storage and feeding unit 52 is in the specific state, information detected by the specific state detection unit 210 is stored in the storage unit 206. In addition, when performing the withdrawal process of rose coins, the control unit 200 specifies all the rose coins that can be withdrawn from the storage and delivery unit 52 among the rose coins to be dispensed, after being sent to the withdrawal box 90. When the information detected by the state detection unit 210 is stored in the storage unit 206, the storage and feeding unit 52 outputs information indicating that it is in a specific state. Details of the operation relating to the specific state detection unit 210 will be described later.

  Next, the operation of the coin processing apparatus 10 having such a configuration (particularly, the operation related to the withdrawal process of loose coins in the coin processing apparatus 10) and the operation display unit shown in FIGS. 9 to 14 are shown. This will be described using the display screen 202. In addition, operation | movement of the coin processing apparatus 10 as shown below is performed because the control part 200 controls each structural member of the coin processing apparatus 10. FIG.

  In the coin processing apparatus 10 according to the present embodiment, information relating to the amount of rose coins stored in each storage and feeding unit 52 (specifically, for example, gold of rose coins stored in each storage and feeding unit 52) Information such as the number of sheets for each type) is stored in the storage unit 206. Also, the operator inputs an instruction to start a withdrawal process of loose coins from the operation display unit 202, or an instruction to start a withdrawal process of loose coins from an external device such as a host terminal via the communication interface unit 208. When it is transmitted to 200, the control unit 200 can accept an instruction to start a withdrawal process (STEP 1). At this time, as shown in FIG. 9, the operator inputs the number of rose coins to be dispensed by the operation display unit 202 for each denomination. In the example shown in FIG. 9, five 500 yen coins, five 100 yen coins, five 50 yen coins, five 10 yen coins, as the number of rose coins to be withdrawn for each denomination, Five 5-yen coins and 5 1-yen coins are input. Instead of inputting the number of denominated coins to be withdrawn from the operation display unit 202 by the operator, the operator can withdraw the money from the external device such as a host terminal to the control unit 200 via the communication interface unit 208. Information relating to the number of denominated coins for each denomination may be transmitted.

  When the control unit 200 receives a command to start a withdrawal process, the control unit 200 makes a withdrawal based on information relating to the amount of loose coins stored in the storage unit 206 stored in the storage unit 206. It is determined whether or not the loose coins to be stored are insufficient in each storage and feeding unit 52 (STEP 2). Here, all the denominations of rose coins to be dispensed are stored in the storage and feeding unit 52 based on the information related to the amount of rose coins in each storage and feeding unit 52 stored in the storage unit 206. When it is determined by the control unit 200 that the number of rose coins that are to be withdrawn is equal to or greater than the number of rose coins to be withdrawn (“NO” in STEP 2), it is stored for each denomination of the rose coin to be withdrawn. An operation is performed in which the loose coins are fed from the feeding unit 52 and sent to the dispensing box 90 (STEP 5). Specifically, among the coins stored in the storage areas 52a to 52f of the storage and feeding section 52, the rose coins to be dispensed are one by one by the coin feeding section 52p such as a rotating disk. 52f is paid out. The loose coins fed out from the storage areas 52a to 52f of the storage and feeding section 52 are sent to the withdrawal chute 58 by the conveyor 54, and the loose coins sent to the withdrawal chute 58 fall out by their own weight. It is sent to the money box 90 and stored in this money box 90. Further, the order of the denominations of the rose coins fed out from the storage areas 52a to 52f of the storage and feeding unit 52 when the rose coin dispensing process is performed is preset. Specifically, for example, loose coins are fed out from the storage areas 52a to 52f of the storage and feeding unit 52 in the order of 5 yen coin, 1 yen coin, 50 yen coin, 100 yen coin, 10 yen coin, and 500 yen coin. It has become.

  On the other hand, when the control unit 200 receives an instruction to start a withdrawal process (STEP 1), the withdrawal is performed based on the information related to the amount of loose coins stored in each storage and feeding unit 52 stored in the storage unit 206. When the number of rose coins stored in the storage and feeding unit 52 for at least one denomination of each denomination of rose coins is smaller than the number of rose coins to be dispensed, the control unit 200 It is determined that there is a shortage of coins to be dispensed at each storage and feeding section 52 (“YES” in STEP 2). In this case, a message for prompting the interrupt loading process of the loose coins is displayed on the operation display unit 202 (STEP 3). Here, details of the interrupt loading process of loose coins will be described later. Then, an interrupt loading process for the missing denomination coins (that is, a process of replenishing each storing and feeding unit 52 with the coins by inserting the missing denomination rose coins into the coin slot 21. ) Is performed (YES in STEP 4), an operation is performed in which the rose coins are fed out from the storage and feeding unit 52 and sent to the withdrawal box 90 for each denomination of the rose coins to be dispensed (STEP 5).

  Further, when an operation of paying out rose coins from the storage and feeding unit 52 and sending them to the withdrawal box 90 for each denomination of rose coins to be withdrawn (STEP 5), the rose coins to be withdrawn When the specific state detecting unit 210 detects that the storage and feeding unit 52 is insufficient (“YES” in STEP 6), the control unit 200 causes the storage unit 206 to store information detected by the specific state detecting unit 210. (STEP7). Here, there is a case where the amount of rose coins stored in each storage and feeding unit 52 stored in the storage unit 206 is different from the number of rose coins actually stored in each storage and feeding unit 52. For this reason, all the denominations of rose coins to be dispensed are stored in the storage and feeding unit 52 based on the information related to the amount of rose coins in each storage and feeding unit 52 stored in the storage unit 206. Even when the control unit 200 determines that the number of rose coins that are to be withdrawn is greater than or equal to the number of rose coins to be withdrawn, the coins that are to be dispensed are stored when they are fed out from the respective storage and feeding units 52. There may be a shortage of loose coins to be withdrawn in the feeding unit 52. In such a case, the specific state detection unit 210 detects that the loose coins to be dispensed are insufficient in the storage and feeding unit 52.

  In addition, when the specific state detection unit 210 detects that the storage / feeding unit 52 related to a denomination is in a specific state, the control unit 200 automatically changes from the storage / feeding unit 52 related to the next denomination. Each storing and feeding unit 52 is controlled so that coins are fed out and sent to the dispensing box 90. Instead of performing such an operation, the control unit 200 issues a confirmation command when the specific state detection unit 210 detects that the storage and feeding unit 52 related to a certain denomination is in the specific state. Each storing and feeding unit 52 may be controlled so that loose coins are fed out from the storing and feeding unit 52 related to the next denomination and sent to the dispensing box 90 on condition that it is input to the control unit 200. . Specifically, when the specific state detection unit 210 detects that there is a shortage of loose coins to be dispensed in the storage and feeding unit 52, the operation of feeding the loose coins from each storage and feeding unit 52 is performed. While being interrupted, the operation display unit 202 displays a screen as shown in FIG. Then, when the operator presses the “Skip” button on the display screen of the operation display unit 202, the loose coins are fed out from the storage and feeding unit 52 related to the next denomination and sent to the dispensing box 90.

  In addition, when an operation is performed such that a rose coin is paid out from the storage and feeding unit 52 and sent to the dispensing box 90 for each denomination of rose coins to be withdrawn, a rose coin is stored from the storage and feeding unit 52 for a certain denomination. If there are other denominations for the coins to be withdrawn after the operation of paying out and sending them to the withdrawal box 90 (STEP 8 “YES”), STEP 5 to STEP 7 in the flowchart of FIG. The operation shown in Fig. 5 is continued for other denominated coins.

  The above-described operation of feeding out the rose coins from the storage and feeding unit 52 and sending them to the withdrawal box 90 for each denomination of rose coins to be withdrawn will be described in detail. For example, 5 500 yen coins, 5 100 yen coins, 5 50 yen coins, 5 10 yen coins, 5 5 yen coins and 5 1 yen coins. When coins are input (see FIG. 9), the number of rose coins actually stored in each storage and feeding unit 52 for each denomination is, for example, five 50 yen coins, two 1 yen coins, and 50 yen coins. In the case of 2 coins, 5 100 yen coins, 2 10 yen coins, and 5 500 yen coins, first, 5 50 yen coins are paid out from the storage payout unit 52 corresponding to the 50 yen coins, and the withdrawal box 90, but it will be attached to the 1-yen coin, which is the denomination to be paid out from the storage and feeding unit 52. Since the number of 1-yen coins stored in the storage and feeding unit 52 corresponding to the 1-yen coin is two and less than the number to be withdrawn (that is, 5), from the storage and feeding unit 52 corresponding to the 1-yen coin Two specific yen coins are fed out and sent to the dispensing box 90, and the lack of three 1 yen coins is detected by the specific state detecting means 210, and the detection information by the specific state detecting means 210 is stored in the storage unit. 206 is stored. Then, as described above, the loose coins are automatically paid out from the storage and feeding unit 52 related to the next denomination and sent to the dispensing box 90, or the feeding operation of the loose coins from each storage and feeding unit 52 is interrupted. At the same time, a screen as shown in FIG. In the latter case, when an “Skip” button on the display screen of the operation display unit 202 is pressed by the operator, loose coins are fed out from the storage and feeding unit 52 related to the next denomination and sent to the dispensing box 90. Be able to.

  Further, for the 50 yen coin that is the denomination to be paid out from the storage and payout section 52, the number of 50 yen coins stored in the storage and payout section 52 corresponding to the 50 yen coin is 2 and the number of coins to be withdrawn ( That is, it is less than 5), so that two 50-yen coins are fed out from the storage and feeding unit 52 corresponding to 50-yen coins and sent to the dispensing box 90, and three 50-yen coins are insufficient. Detected by the specific state detection unit 210, detection information by the specific state detection unit 210 is stored in the storage unit 206. Thereafter, five 100-yen coins are fed out from the storage and feeding unit 52 corresponding to the 100-yen coins and sent to the dispensing box 90.

  In addition, for the 10 yen coin that is the denomination to be paid out from the storage and payout section 52, the number of 10 yen coins stored in the storage and payout section 52 corresponding to the 10 yen coin is two and the number to be withdrawn ( That is, it is less than 5), and two 10-yen coins are fed out from the storing and feeding unit 52 corresponding to the 10-yen coins and sent to the dispensing box 90, and three 10-yen coins are insufficient. Detected by the specific state detection unit 210, detection information by the specific state detection unit 210 is stored in the storage unit 206. Thereafter, five 500-yen coins are fed out from the storage and feeding unit 52 corresponding to the 500-yen coins and sent to the dispensing box 90.

  When all the denominations of rose coins to be withdrawn are sent out from the storage and feeding section 52 and sent to the withdrawal box 90, when there are no other denominations for the coins to be withdrawn ( (“NO” in STEP 8), the control unit 200 determines whether or not the detection information by the specific state detection unit 210 is stored in the storage unit 206 (STEP 9). Here, when the control unit 200 determines that the detection information by the specific state detection unit 210 is not stored in the storage unit 206 for all denominations of rose coins to be withdrawn (“NO” in STEP 9) ), That is, when the specific state is not detected by the specific state detection unit 210 for the storage and feeding unit 52 related to all denominations of rose coins to be withdrawn, the dispensing box 90 is placed inside the housing 12. The withdrawal box 90 is unlocked by the locking mechanism for locking (STEP 12), and the operator can pull out the withdrawal box 90 from the front surface of the housing 12 to the near side. Further, when all the coins of all denominations to be withdrawn are sent to the withdrawal box 90, the operation display unit 202 displays a screen prompting to take out the loose coins from the withdrawal box 90 as shown in FIG. Will come to be. In this manner, the operator can take out the withdrawal coins from the withdrawal box 90 after pulling out the withdrawal box 90 from the front surface of the housing 12 to the front side. When the withdrawal box 90 is unlocked by the lock mechanism, withdrawal information (specifically, the number of coins withdrawn and the total amount, the transaction date, etc.) is printed on the printing unit. In step 204, the receipt is printed on the receipt. On the other hand, a rose coin of a denomination different from the denomination of the rose coin to be withdrawn is paid out from each of the storage areas 52a to 52f of the storage and feeding unit 52 and sent to the withdrawal box 90, or When the number of rose coins fed out from the storage areas 52a to 52f becomes uncertain due to a feeding error of the rose coins from the storage areas 52a to 52f, it is provided at the bottom of the withdrawal box 90. Opened by the shutter member 92, the loose coins sent to the withdrawal box 90 are sent from the withdrawal box 90 to the withdrawal / rejection box 56 via the withdrawal / rejection chute 94, and a series of withdrawal operations. Will be re-executed.

  Further, when the control unit 200 determines that the detection information by the specific state detection unit 210 is stored in the storage unit 206 for at least one denomination of rose coins to be withdrawn (“YES” in STEP 9) ), The control unit 200 detects that the specific state is detected by the specific state detection unit 210, and the deburring type coins for the storage and feeding unit 52 (in other words, the bulk coin replenishment process). Can be done. Further, in this case, the control unit 200 outputs information related to loose coins that have not been sent to the withdrawal box 90 among the loose coins to be dispensed. More specifically, information related to the missing coins of the denomination (specifically, information that three 50 yen coins, three 10 yen coins, and three 1 yen coins are missing). ) Is output from the control unit 200, and as shown in FIG. 11, the information output by the control unit 200 is displayed on the operation display unit 202, and a message prompting the interrupt coin loading process is operated. It is displayed on the display unit 202 (STEP 10). When a screen as shown in FIG. 11 is displayed on the operation display unit 202, the operator first calls a predetermined person such as a cashier. In addition, when a predetermined person in charge such as a cashier is performing a withdrawal process of loose coins, the person in charge continues to perform an interrupt loading process as described below. Then, when a predetermined person in the screen shown in FIG. 11 presses the “interrupt loading” button, the person in charge puts out the missing coins of the denomination into the coin insertion slot 21 to carry out each storing and feeding. It becomes possible to perform an interrupt loading process for replenishing the portion 52 with loose coins. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 12, a screen that prompts a predetermined person to insert a deficient denomination coin into the coin slot 21 is displayed on the operation display unit 202. Become. When the missing coins of the denomination are inserted into the coin insertion slot 21, the rose coins are fed one by one from the deposit feeding unit 20 to the deposit transport unit 28, and the fed out coins are deposited and transported. It is conveyed by the unit 28. In addition, the coins conveyed by the deposit conveyance unit 28 are identified by the deposit identification unit 29 such as the denomination, true / false, correct / incorrect, new / old, front / back, and conveyance state. Then, the rose coins identified as normal coins by the deposit identifying unit 29 are sorted for each denomination by each denomination sorting unit 36, and the rose coins fed into the branch holes of each denomination sorting unit 36 are deposited. In the temporary holding unit 40, the money type is temporarily held in the holding areas 44a to 44f of the money type temporarily holding unit 44. When all the loose coins inserted into the coin insertion slot 21 are sent to the denomination temporary holding unit 44, the denomination temporary holding unit 44 is automatically moved from the first position by the first drive mechanism 45 in the temporary depositing unit 40. The coins are moved to the second position, and an opening provided at the bottom of each holding area 44a to 44f of the denomination temporary holding section 44 is opened, so that a loose coin falls from each holding area 44a to 44f by its own weight, and each storing and feeding is performed. It is sent to the storage areas 52a to 52f of the part 52 for each denomination and is stored for each denomination in the storage areas 52a to 52f of each storage and feeding part 52. In this manner, the missing coins of the denomination are replenished to the storage areas 52 a to 52 f of the storage and feeding sections 52. While such an operation is being performed, a screen as shown in FIG. 13 is displayed on the operation display unit 202. Then, when the interrupt loading process is performed for the insufficient denomination of loose coins (“YES” in STEP 11), the loose coins are paid out from the storing and feeding unit 52 for each denomination of the loose coins to be withdrawn. The operation of sending to the withdrawal box 90 is continued (STEP 5). Thereafter, when all types of rose coins to be withdrawn are sent to the withdrawal box 90, the operation display unit 202 displays a screen prompting the user to take out the loose coins from the withdrawal box 90 as shown in FIG. Will come to be.

  In addition, when the control unit 200 determines that the detection information by the specific state detection unit 210 is stored in the storage unit 206 for at least one denomination of rose coins to be withdrawn, a predetermined person such as a cashier A message that prompts the operator to call the person in charge (for example, a message “There is money that cannot be paid out. Please call a cashier”) may be displayed on the operation display unit 202. In addition, a predetermined terminal (for example, a mobile phone, a smart phone, or the like) is assigned in advance to a predetermined person in charge, and the detection information by the specific state detection unit 210 on at least one denomination of the rose coin to be withdrawn. Is stored in the storage unit 206, the control unit 200 determines that this information is transmitted to a predetermined terminal possessed by the predetermined person in charge, and the terminal performs interrupt loading to the predetermined person in charge. A notification that prompts the user to perform processing may be performed. At this time, information related to the missing denomination of coins may also be transmitted to the terminal.

  When the display screen as shown in FIG. 11 is displayed on the operation display unit 202, if the “withdrawal” button is pressed by the operator instead of the “interrupt / load” button, each storing and feeding unit 52 is displayed. An operation is performed in which rose coins of a denomination that can be withdrawn out of the rose coins stored in the box are fed from the storage and feeding unit 52 and sent to the dispensing box 90. In this case, a predetermined person such as a cashier is separately stored in a storage shelf or the like provided in a cashier room in which the coin processing apparatus 10 according to the present embodiment is installed for the shortage of coins. A hand-wiping operation is performed in which the loose coins are taken out and handed over to the operator. Further, when the display screen as shown in FIG. 11 is displayed on the operation display unit 202, the above-described manual payment is performed even when the “hand payment” button is pressed by the operator instead of the “interrupt loading” button. Operation will be performed. Further, when such a hand-wiping operation is performed, information related to the number of denominations of the loose coins hand-paid in the coin processing apparatus 10 is input to the control unit 200 by the operation display unit 202 by the operator. Information on the number of hand-paid rose coins for each denomination is stored in the storage unit 206.

  Here, when performing a withdrawal process of a plurality of denominated rose coins in the conventional coin processing apparatus 10, a denomination of a denomination of a plurality of denominations to be withdrawn is stored and fed out. In the case where the storage and feeding unit 52 becomes empty while paying out from 52 and there is a shortage of coins to be withdrawn, the withdrawal processing of loose coins is temporarily stopped and is insufficient. A screen for instructing the operator to replenish denominated coins is displayed on the operation display unit 202. Then, after the operator pulls out the withdrawal box 90 and takes out the dispensed coins from the withdrawal box 90, a predetermined person such as a cashier is called to deal with the missing coins of the denomination. When the apparatus 10 is replenished (that is, when a loose coin interruption loading process is performed), the coin coin dispensing process in the coin processing apparatus 10 is resumed. However, in the conventional withdrawal process of rose coins as described above, if the storage and feeding unit 52 has insufficient coins to be dispensed for a plurality of denominations of rose coins, the withdrawal process of loose coins is performed each time. However, it is necessary to call a predetermined person in charge such as a cashier every time and perform a replenishment process for the missing coins. For this reason, there is a problem that it takes a long time for the withdrawal processing of the loose coins and is troublesome for a predetermined person in charge such as an operator or a cashier. On the other hand, in the coin processing apparatus 10 according to the present embodiment, when performing the withdrawal processing of a plurality of denominations of rose coins, all the rose coins that can be paid out from the storage and feeding unit 52 among the rose coins to be withdrawn. When the information detected by the specific state detection unit 210 is stored in the storage unit 206 after being sent to the dispensing box 90, the storage and feeding unit 52 outputs information indicating that the specific state is present, thereby Even if the rose coins to be withdrawn with respect to the denominated rose coins are insufficient in the storing and feeding unit 52, the supplementation of the missing denomination rose coins can be performed collectively at the end. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the time required for the withdrawal process of the loose coins and reduce the work burden on the operator and the person in charge for supplementing the loose coins.

  In the above description, the specific state to be detected by the specific state detection unit 210 is described as the state where the loose coins to be dispensed are insufficient in the storage and feeding unit 52. The same operation is performed even when the specific state to be detected by the means 210 is a state in which loose coins are jammed in the storage and feeding unit 52.

  According to the coin processing device 10 according to the present embodiment having the above-described configuration and the coin processing method using such a coin processing device 10, the storage and feeding unit 52 is in a specific state by the specific state detecting unit 210. When it is detected, the detection information by the specific state detection means 210 is stored in the storage unit 206, and the control unit 200 receives the rose coins from the storing and feeding unit 52 when performing the withdrawal process of the loose coins. Each storing and feeding unit 52 is controlled so that coins are paid out for each denomination and sent to the dispensing unit (specifically, the dispensing box 90), and the coins to be dispensed are fed out from the storing and feeding unit 52. After all possible loose coins have been sent to the dispensing box 90 as the dispensing unit, when the detection information by the specific state detection means 210 is stored in the storage unit 206, the storage and feeding unit 52 is in the specific state. Effect Is adapted to output the information. Thus, after all the rose coins that can be paid out from the storage and feeding unit 52 among the rose coins to be withdrawn are sent to the withdrawal box 90 as the withdrawal unit, the detection information by the specific state detecting means 210 is stored. When stored in the unit 206, the storing and feeding unit 52 outputs information indicating that the storing and feeding unit 52 is in a specific state, so that the storing and feeding unit 52 has insufficient rose coins to be dispensed with respect to a plurality of denominated rose coins. Even if it has been done, it will be possible to replenish the missing denominations of rose coins at the end, so the time required for withdrawal processing of rose coins can be shortened and operated. Work burden on the person in charge and the person in charge of replenishing rose coins can be reduced.

  Moreover, in the coin processing apparatus 10 by this Embodiment, the operation display part 202 is provided as an alerting | reporting part for alerting | reporting the information output by the control part 200 as mentioned above. Thus, when the detection information by the specific state detection unit 210 is stored in the storage unit 206, information indicating that the storage and feeding unit 52 is in the specific state is notified to the operator (for example, When the screen as shown in FIG. 11 is displayed on the operation display unit 202, the operator can perform the interrupt loading process of the missing denomination coins. In addition, when the detection information by the specific state detection unit 210 is stored in the storage unit 206, the notification unit that notifies the information that the storage and feeding unit 52 is in the specific state is not limited to the operation display unit 202. . As another example of the notification unit, a voice unit that notifies the operator by voice may be used. As still another example of the notification unit, a printing unit 204 that prints information on the receipt or the like indicating that the storage and feeding unit 52 is in a specific state may be used.

  Moreover, in the coin processing apparatus 10 according to the present embodiment, as described above, the control unit 200 detects that the storage and feeding unit 52 related to a certain denomination is in the specific state by the specific state detection unit 210. In this case, each storage and feeding unit 52 is controlled so that the loose coins are automatically fed out from the storage and feeding unit 52 related to the next denomination and sent to the dispensing box 90. Alternatively, the control unit 200 is provided on the condition that the confirmation command is input to the control unit 200 when the specific state detection unit 210 detects that the storage and feeding unit 52 related to a certain denomination is in the specific state. (That is, on the condition that the “Skip” button is pressed when the screen as shown in FIG. 10 is displayed on the operation display unit 202), the coins from the storing and feeding unit 52 related to the next denomination are removed. Each storing and feeding unit 52 may be controlled so as to be fed out and sent to the dispensing box 90.

  Moreover, in the coin processing apparatus 10 according to the present embodiment, as described above, the specific state that should be detected by the specific state detection unit 210 is a state in which money cannot be paid out from the storage and feeding unit 52. Specifically, the specific state to be detected by the specific state detecting means 210 is a state where the loose coins to be dispensed are insufficient in the storage / feeding unit 52, or the loose coins are jammed in the storage / feeding unit 52. This is the state where the problem occurred.

  Here, when the specific state to be detected by the specific state detection unit 210 is a state in which the loose coins to be withdrawn are insufficient in the storage and feeding unit 52, the control unit 200 determines the rose to be withdrawn. When the detection information by the specific state detection means 210 is stored in the storage unit 206 after all of the coins that can be paid out from the storage and feeding unit 52 are sent to the withdrawal box 90 as the withdrawal unit, among the coins, It is possible to perform a depletion coin coin replenishment process (in other words, a loose coin interrupt loading process) related to the storage and feeding unit 52 detected by the specific state detection unit 210 to be in the specific state. It has become. Further, the control unit 200 detects by the specific state detection unit 210 after all the rose coins that can be withdrawn from the storing and feeding unit 52 are sent to the dispensing box 90 as the withdrawal unit. When the information is stored in the storage unit 206, the information regarding the rose coins that have not been sent to the withdrawal box 90 among the rose coins to be withdrawn is output.

By providing such a third conveyor 358, the coins fed out from the storage areas 352a to 352f of the storage and feeding parts 352 by the coin feeding parts and conveyed by the first conveyor 354 are provided in the first conveyor. By transferring from 354 to the third conveyor 358, the loose coins can be returned from the third conveyor 358 to the deposit feeding section 320.

  The packaging unit 360 is fed by a rotating disk 362 as a stacking unit that collects rose coins sent to the packaging unit 360 by the packaging chute 370 and feeds the accumulated rose coins one by one. A conveyor 363 that conveys loose coins, and the rose coins conveyed by the conveyor 363 are accumulated in a stacked state, and a predetermined number (for example, 50) of rose coins are collected by a packaging medium such as paper or film A packaging mechanism 368 for packaging. Here, the packaging mechanism 368 has three packaging rollers 368a located at the vertices of a virtual equilateral triangle when viewed from above, and a stack of a predetermined number of sheets in the packaging area between the packaging rollers 368a. Coins are wrapped with a wrapping medium to form wrapping coins. As shown in FIG. 17, the wrapping coins formed by the wrapping mechanism 368 are discharged from the wrapping mechanism 368 downward. Further, a wrapping coin chute 365 and a lateral conveyance unit 367 are provided below the wrapping mechanism 368, and when the wrapping coin formed by the wrapping mechanism 368 is discharged downward from the wrapping mechanism 368, this is discharged. The wrapping coins are sent to the lateral transport unit 367 through the wrapping coin chute 365, and are transported toward the wrapping coin transport unit 410 by the lateral transport unit 367.

  As shown in FIG. 17, the wrapping coin transport unit 410 includes two pulleys 412 provided at an upper part and a lower part inside the housing 312, and an endless circulation belt stretched between the two pulleys 412. 414 and a drive motor (not shown) that circulates and moves the circulation belt 414 in the counterclockwise direction in FIG. 17 by rotationally driving one of the two pulleys 412. As shown in FIG. 17, the circulation belt 414 is provided with a plurality of projections 416 at which the wrapping coins to be transported by the wrapping coin transport unit 410 are hooked at equal intervals. Here, each projection 416 is inclined at a predetermined angle (for example, 60 °) with respect to the direction in which the circulation belt 414 extends (ie, the vertical direction in FIG. 17) on the surface where the projection 416 contacts the wrapping coin. It is formed so as to protrude from the circulation belt 414 in the direction of the movement. Thus, since each protrusion 416 is inclined with respect to the direction in which the circulation belt 414 extends, the wrapping coins hooked on the protrusion 416 are brought closer to the circulation belt 414 side on the protrusion 416 by its own weight. When the circulating belt 414 circulates in the counterclockwise direction in FIG. 17, the wrapping coin is hooked on the protrusion 416 (that is, in a state of being brought close to the circulating belt 414 on the protrusion 416). In accordance with the movement of 414, the sheet is conveyed along the counterclockwise direction in FIG. Further, in the present embodiment, the circulation belt 414 is driven by the drive motor so as to perform intermittent movement in which the operation is stopped for a predetermined time after moving by a predetermined amount and then repeatedly moved by the predetermined amount. It is like that.

  As shown in FIG. 17, a wrapping coin storage unit 400 that stores wrapping coins is provided in the vicinity of the wrapping coin transport unit 410 inside the housing 312. Here, the wrapping coin storage unit 400 has a plurality (six in the example shown in FIG. 17) of storage trays 402 that store a plurality of wrapping coins of the same denomination in a row. Wrapped coins are stored in denominations. Here, each storage tray 402 is inclined with respect to the horizontal direction, and the wrapping coins stored in the storage tray 402 roll toward the forefront portion of the storage tray 402 that is closer to the wrapping coin transport unit 410. It is like that. Further, the storage trays 402 are arranged along the vertical direction. Further, each storage tray 402 is movable from the position shown in FIG. 17 toward the wrapping coin transport unit 410 (that is, in the left direction in FIG. 17), and each storage tray 402 is moved in the wrapping coin transport unit 410. When advancing to a position in the vicinity of the circulation belt 414, the wrapping coins stored in each storage tray 402 are delivered to the protrusions 416 of the circulation belt 414 one by one. Further, a stopper mechanism 404 provided with a plurality of stopper portions corresponding to each storage tray 402 between the front end portion (that is, the left end portion in FIG. 17) of each storage tray 402 and the wrapping coin transport unit 410. Are arranged to be movable in the vertical direction. When the stopper mechanism 404 is in the lowered position, the stopper portion comes into contact with the foremost wrapping coin of the storage tray 402 that has advanced toward the wrapping coin transport unit 410, and the foremost wrapping coin becomes the protrusion 416 of the circulation belt 414. Will not be handed over. In this case, the wrapping coins conveyed by the circulation belt 414 are transferred from the protrusions 416 to the foremost portion of the storage tray 402 and stored in the storage tray 402. On the other hand, when the stopper mechanism 404 is in the raised position, the stopper portion does not come into contact with the foremost wrapping coin of the storage tray 402 that has advanced toward the wrapping coin transport unit 410, and the foremost wrapping coin is not in the circulation belt 414. It is transferred to the protrusion 416.

  Also, in the front area of the wrapping coin transport unit 410 on the front surface of the housing 312, a wrapping coin dispensing unit 430 that stores wrapping coins to be dispensed, a wrapping coin collective storage box 432, and a wrapping coin dispensing unit. 434 are provided respectively. Corresponding to each of the wrapping coin dispensing unit 430, the wrapping coin collective storage box 432, and the wrapping coin dispensing unit 434, the wrapping coins conveyed by the circulation belt 414 of the wrapping coin transport unit 410 are selectively wrapping coins. Branch members 418, 419, and 420 are provided for branching to the dispensing unit 430, the packaged coin collective storage box 432, and the packaged coin dispensing unit 434, respectively. Here, the operator can access the packaging coin dispensing unit 430 from the front surface of the housing 312, and the operator takes out the packaging coins stored in the packaging coin dispensing unit 430 to the outside of the housing 312. Be able to. Further, the operator can access the packaging coin dispensing unit 434 from the front surface of the housing 312, and the packaging sent from the circulation belt 414 of the packaging coin transport unit 410 to the packaging coin dispensing unit 434 by the branch member 420. The operator can take out the coins outside the housing 312.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 15, the coin processing device 300 according to the modification is provided with a control unit 500 that controls each component of the coin processing device 300. Here, the identification information of the loose coins by the deposit identifying unit and the withdrawal identifying unit is sent from the deposit identifying unit and the withdrawal identifying unit to the control unit 500. Moreover, the control part 500 controls operation | movement of these structural members by sending the command signal to each structural member of the coin processing apparatus 300.

  Further, the control unit 500 includes, for example, a touch panel provided on the upper portion of the housing 312, and a specific state detection unit 510 that detects, for each storage / feeding unit 352, that each storage / feeding unit 352 is in a specific state. The storage and feeding unit 352 is in a specific state by the operation display unit 502 that allows the operator to input various commands while displaying various information such as the processing status of coins in the coin processing device 300 and the specific state detection means 510. Storage unit 506 for storing information detected by the specific state detecting means 510 when the detection is detected. Here, the specific state to be detected by the specific state detection means 510 refers to a state in which loose coins cannot be fed out from the storage and feeding unit 352. Specifically, the specific state to be detected by the specific state detecting unit 510 is different in a state in which the loose coins to be dispensed are insufficient in the storage and feeding unit 352, in the coin feeding unit of the storage and feeding unit 352, or the like. A state where coins are jammed. Further, when the specific state detection unit 510 detects that the storage and feeding unit 352 is in the specific state, the detection information by the specific state detection unit 510 is stored in the storage unit 506. In addition, when performing the withdrawal process of rose coins, the control unit 500 specifies all the rose coins that can be dispensed from the storage and delivery unit 352 after being sent to the withdrawal box 390. When the information detected by the state detection unit 510 is stored in the storage unit 506, the storage feeding / feeding unit 352 outputs information indicating that it is in a specific state.

  Next, the operation of the coin processing apparatus 300 having such a configuration (particularly, the operation related to the withdrawal process of loose coins in the coin processing apparatus 300) will be described. In addition, operation | movement of the coin processing apparatus 300 as shown below is performed because the control part 500 controls each structural member of the coin processing apparatus 300. FIG.

  In the coin processing device 300 according to the modified example, information related to the amount of rose coins stored in each storage and feeding unit 352 (specifically, for example, denomination of rose coins stored in each storage and feeding unit 352) Information such as the number of sheets for each) is stored in the storage unit 506. Also, the operator inputs an instruction to start the withdrawal process of the loose coins from the operation display unit 502, or the coins are dispensed to the control unit 500 from an external device such as a host terminal via a communication interface unit (not shown). When a money processing start command is transmitted to the control unit 500, the control unit 500 receives a command to start a withdrawal process. At this time, the operator inputs the number of rose coins to be dispensed by the operation display unit 502 for each denomination. Further, instead of the operator inputting the number of rose coins to be withdrawn by the operation display unit 502, the withdrawal is made to the control unit 500 from an external device such as a host terminal via the communication interface unit. Information on the number of denominated coins for each denomination may be transmitted.

  When the control unit 500 receives an instruction to start a withdrawal process, the control unit 500 makes a withdrawal based on the information related to the amount of loose coins stored in the storage and feeding unit 352 stored in the storage unit 506. It is determined whether or not the loose coins to be stored are insufficient in each storage and feeding unit 352. Here, all the denominations of rose coins to be dispensed are stored in the storage and feeding unit 352 based on the information related to the amount of rose coins in each storage and feeding unit 352 stored in the storage unit 506. If the control unit 500 determines that the number of rose coins that are to be withdrawn is equal to or greater than the number of rose coins to be withdrawn, a rose coin is received from the storage and feeding unit 352 for each denomination of rose coins to be withdrawn. The first conveyor 354 performs an operation of feeding the loose coins to the withdrawal temporary storage unit 380 located at the first position as indicated by a solid line in FIG. Moreover, the order of the denominations of the rose coins fed out from the storage areas 352a to 352f of the storage and feeding unit 352 when the withdrawal process of the loose coins is performed is preset. Specifically, for example, loose coins are fed out from the storage areas 352a to 352f of the storage and feeding unit 352 in the order of 5 yen coin, 1 yen coin, 50 yen coin, 100 yen coin, 10 yen coin, and 500 yen coin. It has become.

  On the other hand, when an instruction to start a withdrawal process is received by the control unit 500, the withdrawal should be made based on the information related to the amount of loose coins stored in each storage and feeding unit 352 stored in the storage unit 506. When the number of rose coins stored in the storage and feeding unit 352 for each denomination of rose coins is smaller than the number of rose coins to be dispensed, the control unit 500 withdraws money. It is determined that there is a shortage of loose coins to be made in each storage and feeding unit 352. In this case, a message for prompting the interrupt coin loading process etc. is displayed on the operation display unit 502. Then, an interrupt loading process for the missing coins of the denomination (that is, a process of replenishing each storing and feeding unit 352 with the coins by inserting the missing coins of the denomination into the coin slot) Is performed, for each denomination of the rose coins to be withdrawn, an operation is performed in which the loose coins are fed out from the storing and feeding unit 352 and sent to the withdrawal temporary storage unit 380.

  Further, when an operation is carried out such that a rose coin is paid out from the storage and feeding unit 352 and sent to the withdrawal temporary storage unit 380 for each denomination of the rose coin to be withdrawn, the rose coin to be withdrawn is stored. When the specific state detecting unit 510 detects that the feeding unit 352 is deficient, the control unit 500 causes the storage unit 506 to store information detected by the specific state detecting unit 510. In addition, when the specific state detection unit 510 detects that the storage and feeding unit 352 related to a certain denomination is in the specific state, the control unit 500 automatically changes the value from the storage and feeding unit 352 related to the next denomination. Each storing and feeding unit 352 is controlled to feed out coins and send them to the withdrawal temporary storage unit 380. Instead of performing such an operation, the control unit 500 issues a confirmation command when the specific state detection unit 510 detects that the storage and feeding unit 352 related to a certain denomination is in the specific state. Each storage and feeding unit 352 is controlled so that loose coins are fed out from the storage and feeding unit 352 related to the next denomination and sent to the withdrawal temporary storage unit 380 on condition that the data is input to the control unit 500. Also good. Specifically, when the specific state detection unit 510 detects that the loose coins to be dispensed are insufficient in the storage and feeding unit 352, the feeding operation of the bulk coins from each storage and feeding unit 352 is interrupted. However, when the operator presses the “Skip” button on the display screen of the operation display unit 502, the loose coins are paid out from the storing and feeding unit 352 related to the next denomination and sent to the withdrawal temporary holding unit 380. It may be.

  When there is another denomination for a coin to be withdrawn after an operation has been performed such that a loose coin is fed out from the storage and feeding unit 352 and sent to the withdrawal temporary storage unit 380 for a certain denomination, The same operation continues for denominated rose coins. On the other hand, for all denominations of rose coins to be withdrawn, there are no other denominations for rose coins to be withdrawn by paying out rose coins from the storage and feeding unit 352 and sending them to the withdrawal temporary storage unit 380. In this case, the control unit 500 determines whether or not the detection information by the specific state detection unit 510 is stored in the storage unit 506. Here, if the control unit 500 determines that the detection information by the specific state detection unit 510 is not stored in the storage unit 506 for all denominations of the coins to be withdrawn, that is, it should be withdrawn. When the specific state is not detected by the specific state detection unit 510 for the storage and feeding unit 352 relating to all denominations of loose coins, a message prompting the operator to confirm the withdrawal is displayed on the operation display unit 502. become. Then, when the operator inputs a withdrawal confirmation command through the operation display unit 502, the withdrawal temporary storage unit 380 is located on the left side of the first position from the first position as indicated by the solid line in FIG. The rose coins temporarily moved to the position and temporarily held in the withdrawal temporary storage unit 380 are sent to the withdrawal box 390 located at the lower position. Thereafter, when the dispensing box 390 moves from the lower position to the upper position, the operator takes out the loose coins from the dispensing box 390 via the dispensing opening provided on the upper surface of the housing 312 or the upper front surface. Will be able to. Further, when the withdrawal box 390 moves from the lower position to the upper position, withdrawal information (specifically, the number of coins withdrawn, the total amount, the transaction date, etc.) is printed on the printing unit. (Not shown) is printed on the receipt. On the other hand, when a message prompting the operator to confirm the withdrawal is displayed on the operation display unit 502, if the operator inputs a withdrawal withdrawal command instead of a withdrawal confirmation command through the operation display unit 502, the withdrawal temporarily The holding unit 380 moves from the first position as shown by a solid line in FIG. 15 to a third position located on the right side of the first position, and the loose coins temporarily held in the withdrawal temporary holding unit 380 The money is sent to the withdrawal reject box 356, and a series of withdrawal operations is executed again.

  Further, when the control unit 500 determines that the detection information by the specific state detection unit 510 is stored in the storage unit 506 for at least one denomination of rose coins to be withdrawn, the control unit 500 It is possible to perform an interrupt loading process (in other words, a bulk coin replenishment process) of denominations of denominations related to the storage and feeding unit 352 detected as being in the specific state by the specific state detection means 510. It has become. Further, in this case, the control unit 500 outputs information related to loose coins that have not been sent to the withdrawal temporary storage unit 380 among the loose coins to be dispensed. More specifically, the information related to the missing denomination of loose coins is output from the control unit 500, the information output by the control unit 500 is displayed on the operation display unit 502, and the interrupt coins are interrupted and loaded. A message for prompting processing or the like is displayed on the operation display unit 502. When such information or message is displayed on the operation display unit 502, the operator first calls a predetermined person such as a cashier. In addition, when a predetermined person in charge such as a cashier is performing a withdrawal process of loose coins, the person in charge continues to perform an interrupt loading process as described below. Then, when a predetermined person in charge presses the “interrupt loading” button on the screen displayed on the operation display unit 502, the person in charge inserts the missing denomination of loose coins into the coin slot. It becomes possible to perform an interrupt loading process for replenishing each storing and feeding part 352 with loose coins. More specifically, when an insufficient denomination of loose coins is inserted into the coin slot, the individual coins are fed from the deposit feeding unit 320 to the deposit transport unit 328 one by one. It is conveyed by the deposit conveyance unit 328. In addition, the coins conveyed by the deposit conveyance unit 328 are identified by the deposit identification unit such as denomination, true / false, correct / incorrect, new / old, front / back, and conveyance status. Then, the rose coins identified as normal coins by the deposit identifying unit are sorted for each denomination by each denomination sorting unit, and the rose coins sent to the branch holes of each denomination sorting unit are deposited temporarily holding units In 340, the money type is temporarily held in the holding areas 344a to 344f of the money type temporary holding unit 344. Then, after all the loose coins inserted into the coin slot are sent to the denomination temporary holding unit 344, the denomination temporary holding unit 340 automatically moves the denomination temporary holding unit 344 from the first position by the first drive mechanism. The coins are moved to the second position, and an opening provided at the bottom of each holding area 344a to 344f of the denomination temporary holding section 344 is opened, so that a loose coin falls from each holding area 344a to 344f by its own weight, and each storing and feeding section. It is sent to the storage areas 352a to 352f of 352 for each denomination, and is stored for each denomination in the storage areas 352a to 352f of each storage and feeding section 352. In this manner, the missing coins of the denomination are replenished to the storage areas 352a to 352f of the storage and feeding sections 352. Then, when the interrupt loading process is performed for the missing denominations of the denominated coins, the denomination coins are drawn out from the storage and feeding unit 352 for each denomination of the rose coins to be withdrawn, and then to the withdrawal temporary storage unit 380. The operation of sending is continued.

  When the control unit 500 determines that the detection information by the specific state detection unit 510 is stored in the storage unit 506 for at least one denomination of rose coins to be withdrawn, the operation display unit 502 displays the information. When the operator depresses the “withdrawal” button instead of the “interrupt loading” button on the displayed screen, among the loose coins stored in each storing and feeding unit 352, the denominated type of denominated coins are stored. The operation of feeding out from the feeding unit 352 and sending it to the withdrawal temporary storage unit 380 is performed. In this case, for a shortage of loose coins, a predetermined person such as a cashier takes out the loose coins separately stored in a storage shelf or the like provided in a cashier room where the coin processing apparatus 300 is installed, A hand-wiping operation is performed so as to hand over the taken out loose coins to the operator. Further, the above-described manual payment operation is also performed when the operator presses the “hand payment” button instead of the “interrupt loading” button on the screen displayed on the operation display unit 502. Further, when such a manual payment operation is performed, information related to the number of denominations of the loose coins hand-paid in the coin processing apparatus 300 is input to the control unit 500 by the operation display unit 502 by the operator. Information on the number of hand-paid rose coins for each denomination is stored in the storage unit 506.

  In the above description, the specific state to be detected by the specific state detection unit 510 has been described as the case where the loose coins to be dispensed are insufficient in the storage and feeding unit 352. The same operation is performed when the specific state to be detected by the means 510 is a state in which loose coins are jammed in the storage and feeding unit 352.

  In the coin processing device 300 according to the modification shown in FIGS. 15 to 17 and the coin processing method using such a coin processing device 300, the specific state is the same as in the coin processing device 10 having the configuration shown in FIGS. When the detection unit 510 detects that the storage / feeding unit 352 is in the specific state, the detection information by the specific state detection unit 510 is stored in the storage unit 506. When performing the coin withdrawal process, each storage and feeding unit 352 is configured to feed the rose coin from the storage and feeding unit 352 for each denomination and send it to the withdrawal unit (specifically, the withdrawal temporary storage unit 380). All the rose coins that can be controlled and delivered from the storage and delivery unit 352 are sent to the withdrawal temporary storage unit 380 serving as the withdrawal unit, and then detected by the specific state detection unit 510. Information is adapted to the case stored in the storage unit 506 outputs information indicating that the storage and feed unit 352 is a specific state. Thus, after all the rose coins that can be paid out from the storage and payout unit 352 among the rose coins to be withdrawn are sent to the withdrawal temporary storage unit 380 as the withdrawal unit, the detection information by the specific state detection unit 510 is detected. Is stored in the storage unit 506, the storage and feeding unit 352 outputs information indicating that the storage unit 506 is in a specific state, whereby the rose coins to be dispensed for the plurality of denominations are stored and fed. Even if a shortage occurs, it will be possible to replenish rose coins of the missing denomination at the end, so the time required for withdrawal processing of rose coins can be reduced. At the same time, it is possible to reduce the work burden on the operator and the person in charge who replenishes rose coins.

  Also, when performing the withdrawal process of rose coins, even if there are not enough rose coins to be withdrawn for multiple coin types in the storage and feeding section, the missing rose coins The principle of the present invention that can be replenished at the end can also be applied to a withdrawal process for wrapped coins, a withdrawal process for loose banknotes, or a withdrawal process for banded banknotes. For example, in a banknote processing apparatus that performs at least a withdrawal process for loose banknotes, individual banknotes are fed out from each storing and feeding unit so that the dispensed rose banknotes are collected by denomination. Such a banknote handling apparatus accommodates loose banknotes for each denomination, and can deliver a plurality of storage payout sections capable of feeding out stored banknotes, and a storage payout section indicating that each storage payout section is in a specific state. You may provide the specific state detection means detected for every, and the payment | withdrawal part for withdrawing | discharging the rose banknote drawn | fed out from each storage and feeding part. Moreover, in such a banknote processing apparatus according to the present invention, when carrying out a withdrawal process of loose banknotes, each storing and feeding part is fed out from the storing and feeding part for each denomination and sent to the withdrawal part. In this case, when it is detected by the specific state detection means that the storage / feeding part is in the specific state, the detection information by the detection means is stored in the storage section. And in the banknote processing apparatus which concerns on such this invention, after all the rose banknotes which can be paid out from a storage delivery part among the rose banknotes which should be withdrawn are sent to a withdrawal part, the detection information by a specific state detection means Is stored in the storage unit, information indicating that the storage and feeding unit is in a specific state is output, and the output information is displayed on, for example, the operation display unit. In such a banknote handling apparatus, when performing the withdrawal process of loose banknotes, after all the rose banknotes that can be fed out from the storage and feeding section among the rose banknotes to be dispensed, the specific state When the information detected by the detection means is stored in the storage unit, the banknotes to be dispensed for a plurality of denominations are stored by outputting information indicating that the storage and feeding unit is in a specific state. Even if the payout section runs short, it will be possible to replenish rose money banknotes of insufficient money type at the end, thus shortening the time required for withdrawal processing of loose banknotes. In addition, it is possible to reduce the work burden on the operator and the person in charge who replenishes the banknotes.

  Moreover, the money processing apparatus of the present invention includes a coin processing apparatus that performs a withdrawal process of coins such as at least a loose coin and / or a wrapping coin, and a banknote that performs a withdrawal process of banknotes such as at least a rose banknote and / or a banded banknote. What combined with the processing apparatus may be used. In the money handling apparatus according to the present invention in which such a coin handling apparatus and a banknote handling apparatus are combined, when performing the withdrawal process of both coins and banknotes, the coins and banknotes to be dispensed are fed out from the storing and feeding unit. After all possible coins and banknotes have been sent to the withdrawal unit, when the detection information by the specific state detection means is stored in the storage unit, information indicating that the storage and feeding unit is in the specific state is output. It has become. As a result, even if coins and banknotes to be dispensed for coins and banknotes of a plurality of denominations are insufficient in the storage and feeding unit, the replenishment of the coins and banknotes of the depleted denominations is the last. Since it can be performed collectively, it is possible to reduce the time required for the withdrawal process of coins and banknotes, and to reduce the work burden on the operator, the person in charge of replenishing coins and banknotes, etc. it can.
