Yes.

  Next, the operation of the present embodiment will be described.

  First, an initial coin replenishment process will be described with reference to FIGS.

  With a teller or the like, the cassette 121 containing the replenished coins is transported to the place of the fuselage 11, and the initial replenishment processing of the coins is instructed by operating the left operation unit 18 or the right operation unit 19 or the teller terminals 221 and 222, The replenishment process is started by inserting the cassette port portion 123 into the coin depositing port 13 in such a posture that the storage space 125 of the cassette 121 is on the upper side and the cassette port 129 is on the lower side.

  When the replenishment process is started, the coin deposit slot shutter 33 of the coin deposit slot 13 is opened and the cassette shutter 131 of the cassette 121 is opened, and the replenishment coins in the cassette 121 are stored and fed out from the cassette slot 129 through the coin deposit slot 13. It flows out to part 31.

  As shown in FIG. 10 (a), the replenishment coins that have flowed out to the coin storage and delivery unit 31 are fed one by one from the coin storage and delivery unit 31 to the first passage area 42 of the coin passage 41, and are authenticated by the identification unit 49. And denominations.

  The replenished coins identified as normal by the identification unit 49 are transported to the third passage area 44 of the coin passage 41, branched at the coin branching unit 54 by type of the corresponding denomination, and stored in the coin storing and dispensing unit 61 by type. It is fed onto the throwing belt 63. At this time, the partition member 73 is opened and the type-specific temporary holding portion 74 and the coin storage portion 75 are communicated with each other, and all the storage / throwing belts 63 are rotated in the storage direction. The replenishment coins fed onto the belt 63 are sent backward from the position below the type-specific coin branching portion 54 and stored in the coin storage portion 75 in a loose state (stacked state).

  When a denomination filled with a predetermined number of replenishment coins is generated in the type-specific coin storage and dispensing unit 61, the replenishment coins of the overflow denomination identified by the identification unit 49 are thereafter transferred to the third passage. Branches are made at the overflow type coin branching portion 54a located in the uppermost stream of the region 44, and are stored in the overflow type coin storage and discharge portion 61a. At this time, since the overflow type coin storage / disposal part 61a does not include the partition member 73, the overflow coin dropped on the storage / throwing belt 63 is sent to the rear side of the coin storage part 75 and temporarily held. .

  The reject coins identified as abnormal by the identification unit 49 are branched at the reject coin branching unit 50 in the second passage area 43 of the coin passage 41. At this time, the discharge switching plate 97 of the discharge switching means 96 is in an open position that opens the upper area of the conveyor conveyor 91, and the reject coins branched by the reject coin branching section 50 are sent onto the conveyor conveyor 91 through the reject chute 101. Hold temporarily. The transport conveyor 91 moves to the right by a predetermined amount each time the reject coins are sent one by one, and prepares for receiving the subsequent reject coins.

  Then, the replenishment of the replenishment coins from the coin storage and delivery unit 31 is completed, and the replenishment of the replenishment coins on the coin passage 41 is completed. And the transfer operation is stopped.

  At this time, if the reject coins are temporarily held on the transport conveyor 91, the reject coin re-identification process is started as shown in FIGS. That is, the reject coins on the transfer conveyor 91 are transferred to the right side by the transfer conveyor 91 and sent to the transfer unit 106. The transfer coins 106 are transferred forward by the transfer unit 106 and are transferred by the transfer switching unit 113 in the middle of the transfer. The coins are fed again from the circulation transport unit 111 to the coin storage and feeding unit 31. When all the rejected coins are sent to the coin storage and delivery unit 31, they are fed again one by one from the coin storage and delivery unit 31 to the coin passage 41 and re-identified by the identification unit 49.

  As a result of the re-identification, the replenished coins identified as normal are branched at the coin branching unit 54 by type of the corresponding denomination and stored in the coin storage and dispensing unit 61 by type of the corresponding denomination, or by type for overflow It branches at the coin branching portion 54a and is stored in the overflowing type coin storage and dispensing portion 61a.

  As a result of the re-identification, the reject coins identified as abnormal are branched by the reject coin branching unit 50. At this time, the discharge switching plate 97 of the discharge switching means 96 is moved to a state in which the upper area of the conveyor 91 is closed, and therefore, the reject coins branched by the reject coin branching section 50 are rejected by the reject chute 101 and the discharge switching plate. Through 97, the discharge chute 98 is discharged into the carton 17 previously inserted in the carton insertion portion 16 and returned. The reject coins returned to the carton 17 can be taken out by removing the carton 17 from the carton insertion portion 16.

  Then, remove all the replenishment coins to the coin storage and delivery unit 31, remove the cassette 121 from the coin deposit port 13, open the front door 21 of the fuselage 11 and install it in the cassette mounting unit 120, and use it for initial replenishment The cassette 121 can be used for collection.

  Further, when the overflow coins are stored in the overflow type coin storage and dispensing unit 61a, the cassette 121 is mounted on the cassette mounting unit 120 and the type is changed as shown in FIG. 10 (d). The overflow coins in the coin storage / disposal part 61a are thrown forward one by one from the type-specific coin storage / throwing part 61a. At this time, the discharge switching plate 97 of the discharge switching means 96 is in an open position that opens the upper area of the transport conveyor 91, and the overflow coins thrown forward one by one from the inside of the type-specific coin storage and discharge section 61a are transported. The product is discharged onto the conveyor 91, conveyed to the right side by the conveyance conveyor 91, sent to the conveyance unit 106, conveyed to the front by the conveyance unit 106, and sent to the cassette 121 through the collection chute 112 for storage.

  Instead of using the cassette 121, it is also possible to insert a supplementary coin into the coin deposit port 13 using a gold box or bag for supplementation. In this case, the replenishment process is started after the coin inlet shutter 33 is closed after the replenishment coin is inserted into the coin inlet 13. Further, the cassette 121 is mounted on the cassette mounting unit 120.

  Then, the payout of the coins from the coin storage and payout unit 31 is completed, and the transfer of the coins on the coin passage 41 is completed. And the transfer operation is stopped.

  At this time, if the reject coins are temporarily held on the transport conveyor 91, the reject coin re-identification process is started as shown in FIGS. That is, the reject coins on the transfer conveyor 91 are transferred to the right side by the transfer conveyor 91 and sent to the transfer unit 106. The transfer coins 106 are transferred forward by the transfer unit 106 and are transferred by the transfer switching unit 113 in the middle of the transfer. The coins are fed again from the circulation transport unit 111 to the coin storage and feeding unit 31. When all the rejected coins are sent to the coin storage and delivery unit 31, they are fed again one by one from the coin storage and delivery unit 31 to the coin passage 41 and re-identified by the identification unit 49.

  As a result of the re-identification, the received coins that are identified as normal are branched at the coin branching section 54 by type of the corresponding denomination and temporarily held in the temporary holding section 74 by type of the corresponding denomination, or coins by type for overflow It branches at the branching part 54a and temporarily holds in the overflow type coin storage and dispensing part 61a.

  As a result of the re-identification, the reject coins identified as abnormal are branched by the reject coin branching unit 50. At this time, the discharge switching plate 97 of the discharge switching means 96 is moved to a state in which the upper area of the conveyor 91 is closed, and therefore, the reject coins branched by the reject coin branching section 50 are rejected by the reject chute 101 and the discharge switching plate. Through 97, the discharge chute 98 is discharged into the carton 17 previously inserted in the carton insertion portion 16 and returned. The reject coins returned to the carton 17 can be taken out by removing the carton 17 from the carton insertion portion 16.

  And after completing the temporary hold of the received coins including re-identification and completing the return of rejected coins after re-identification, the teller's terminals 221 and 222 display the counting results of the received coins, and the teller approves the deposit Or wait for a payment non-approval order.

  When the teller issues a deposit approval, as shown in FIG. 11 (d), the coins temporarily held in the type-specific temporary storage unit 74 of the type-specific coin storage and dispensing unit 61 are released from the partition member 73. Then, the storage throwing belt 63 is rotated in the storage direction to be sent to the rear coin storage portion 75 and stored in a loose state. Thereafter, the partition member 73 is returned to the partition position, and when the overflow coin is temporarily held, the storing operation of the overflow coin is started. That is, the overflow coins in the type-specific coin storage / disposal part 61a are thrown forward one by one from the type-specific coin storage / throwing part 61a. At this time, the discharge switching plate 97 of the discharge switching means 96 is in an open position that opens the upper area of the transport conveyor 91, and the overflow coins thrown forward one by one from the inside of the type-specific coin storage and discharge section 61a are transported.

And count the number of throws. When different denomination coins are mixed in the type-specific coin storage and dispensing unit 61 and the different denomination coins are about to be thrown out, if the different denomination coins are detected by the sensors 84 and 85, the stopper means The different denomination coins are stopped, the terminals 221 and 222 are instructed to instruct the teller to take out the different denomination coins, and the withdrawal is resumed by taking out the coins by the teller.

  In addition, coins of denominations that do not correspond to withdrawal types, and coins of denominations that have been dispensed with a specified number of withdrawals even with denominations that correspond to withdrawals, are thrown out by the stopper means of the coin dispensing path 81. regulate. Then, after all the coins necessary for withdrawal have been thrown out, the coins are returned to the coin storage unit 75 by reverse rotation of the storage / throwing belt 63 and stop of the reverse rotation roller 80, and the withdrawal process is completed. The withdrawal coins withdrawn to the carton 17 can be taken out by removing the carton 17 from the carton insertion part 16.

  Next, in FIGS. 14 (a) to (d), description will be given of an intermediate coin replenishment process when the amount of coins stored in the type-specific coin storage / dispensing unit 61 is reduced due to, for example, the withdrawal process being continued. To do.

  In this replenishment, replenishment coins can be replenished by inserting them into the coin deposit port 13 by the cassette 121 or by using a gold box or bag without using the cassette 121 as in the above-described initial replenishment. The cassette 121 used for replenishment is mounted on the cassette mounting unit 120 after refilling, and the cassette 121 is mounted on the cassette mounting unit 120 even when not used for refilling.

  As shown in FIG. 14 (a), the replenishment coins inserted into the coin storage and delivery unit 31 are fed one by one from the coin storage and delivery unit 31 to the first passage area 42 of the coin passage 41, and are authenticated by the identification unit 49. And denominations.

  The replenished coins identified as normal by the identification unit 49 are transported to the third passage area 44 of the coin passage 41, branched at the coin branching unit 54 by type of the corresponding denomination, and stored in the coin storing and dispensing unit 61 by type. It is fed onto the throwing belt 63. At this time, the partition member 73 is opened and the type-specific temporary holding portion 74 and the coin storage portion 75 are communicated with each other, and all the storage / throwing belts 63 are rotated in the storage direction. The replenishment coins fed onto the belt 63 are sent from the lower position of the type-specific coin branching unit 54 to the rear in the type-specific temporary storage unit 74 and temporarily held in a loose state.

  When a denomination filled with a predetermined number of replenishment coins is generated in the type-specific coin storage and dispensing unit 61, the replenishment coins of the overflow denomination identified by the identification unit 49 are thereafter stored in the third passage area. Branches are made at the overflow type coin branching portion 54a located at the uppermost stream of 44, and are stored in the overflow type coin storage and discharge portion 61a. At this time, since the overflow type coin storage / disposal part 61a does not include the partition member 73, the overflow coin dropped on the storage / throwing belt 63 is sent to the rear side of the coin storage part 75 and temporarily held. .

  The reject coins identified as abnormal by the identification unit 49 are branched at the reject coin branching unit 50 in the second passage area 43 of the coin passage 41. At this time, the discharge switching plate 97 of the discharge switching means 96 is in an open position that opens the upper area of the conveyor conveyor 91, and the reject coins branched by the reject coin branching section 50 are sent onto the conveyor conveyor 91 through the reject chute 101. Hold temporarily. The transport conveyor 91 moves to the right by a predetermined amount each time the reject coins are sent one by one, and prepares for receiving the subsequent reject coins.

  Then, after the replenishment of the replenishment coins from the coin storage and delivery unit 31 is completed, the replenishment of the replenishment coins on the coin passage 41 is completed, and the replenishment coins are no longer detected by the identification unit 49 for a predetermined time. And the transfer operation is stopped.

  At this time, when reject coins are temporarily held on the conveyor 91, as shown in FIGS. 14B and 14C, reject coin re-identification processing is started. That is, the reject coins on the transfer conveyor 91 are transferred to the right side by the transfer conveyor 91 and sent to the transfer unit 106. The transfer coins 106 are transferred forward by the transfer unit 106 and are transferred by the transfer switching unit 113 in the middle of the transfer. The coins are fed again from the circulation transport unit 111 to the coin storage and feeding unit 31. When all the rejected coins are sent to the coin storage and delivery unit 31, they are fed again one by one from the coin storage and delivery unit 31 to the coin passage 41 and re-identified by the identification unit 49.
