Abstract

PURPOSE:To shorten the paying time of coins such as change by dividing the coins to be paid in prescribed coin types out of the coins paid as the change, etc., allocating them to a main storage part and a sub-storage pat, and paying the coins in the allocated number independently in the main storage part and the sub-storage part. CONSTITUTION:An allocating means 3 divides the coins to be paid in the prescribed types out of the coins paid as the change, etc., and allocates them to a main storage part 1 and a sub-storage part 2. A main storage control means 4 pays the coins in the number allocated to the main storage part 1 from the main storage part. Further, a sub-payment control means 5 pays the coins in the number allocated to the sub-storage part 2 from the sub-storage part 2. Since the sub-storage part 2 executes payment independently from the payment of the main storage part 1, the coins can be simultaneously paid from the main storage part 1 and the sub-storage part 2 in parallel. Thus, the paying time of the coins such as the change can be shortened.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a coin processing device having a coin dispensing function for change, etc. used in a vending machine or a money exchange machine, and in particular, a coin processing device including a main storage section and a sub storage section. related to things. [Prior Art] A coin processing device having a function of dispensing coins for change, etc. automatically replenishes coins of a predetermined denomination that have been inserted, and disburses a specified number of coins from among the stored coins. It has long been known that some coins are equipped with a main storage section (main tube) that can be dispensed, and a sub-storage section (auxiliary tube) that does not automatically replenish coins and only has a dispensing function. There is. In such conventional coin storage devices, coins for change etc. are usually dispensed exclusively from the main tube, and when the coins stored in the main tube become insufficient, the coin dispensing tube is switched to an auxiliary tube. I'm trying to pay it out.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

Therefore, even if coins of the same denomination are stored in the main tube and the auxiliary tube, the conventional system only dispenses coins from one tube at a time, so it takes time to dispense coins such as change. There was a problem. This invention was made in view of the above points. It is an object of the present invention to provide a coin processing device capable of shortening the time required to pay out coins such as change. [Means for Solving the Problems] A coin processing device according to the present invention stores coins of a predetermined denomination, automatically replenishes coins of the predetermined denomination that have been inserted, and processes the stored coins. a main storage section that can dispense a specified number of coins from inside; and a main storage section that stores coins of the predetermined denomination; and a main storage section that can dispense a specified number of coins from among the stored coins; possible, and a sub-storage section that performs a dispensing operation independently of the dispensing operation of the main storage section, and the number of coins to be dispensed in the predetermined denomination is divided and allocated to the main storage section and the sub-storage section, respectively. a main dispensing control means for dispensing the number of coins allocated to the main storage section by the allocation means from the main storage section; and a main payout control means for dispensing the number of coins allocated to the sub storage section by the allocation means. The present invention is characterized by comprising a sub-dispensing control means for dispensing coins from the sub-storage section, and dispensing coins from the main storage section and the sub-storage section in parallel. This is illustrated in FIG. 1, where 1 is a main storage section, 2 is a sub-storage section, 3 is an allocation means, 4 is a main dispensing control means, and 5 is an ejection dispensing control means. Furthermore, when the dispensing of one of the main storage section 1 and the sub-storage section 2 is completed first, the remaining number of dispensing sheets assigned to the other is further divided and recycled to the main storage section and the sub-storage section, respectively. The main payout control means 4 and the sub payout control means 5 may be provided with a reallocation means 6 for allocating the coins, and the main payout control means 4 and the sub payout control means 5 may perform control to pay out the number of coins reallocated by the reallocation means 6, respectively. [Operation] The allocation means divides the number of coins to be paid out in a predetermined denomination out of the coins to be paid out as change, etc., and allocates them to the main storage section and the sub storage section, respectively. For example, if the number of coins to be paid out in a given denomination is a, then a is divided into two, b and C, so that a = b + c. This may be divided into two equal parts, but of course it is not limited to two equal parts. ), the number of coins to be dispensed in the main storage section is assigned as b, and the number of coins to be dispensed in the sub-storage section as C1. Under the control of the main dispensing control means, the number of coins allocated to the main storage section is dispensed from the main storage section. Further, under the control of the sub-dispensing control means, the number C of coins allocated to the sub-storage section is dispensed from the sub-storage section. Since the sub storage section performs a dispensing operation independently of the dispensing operation of the main storage section, coins can be simultaneously dispensed from the main storage section and the sub storage section in parallel. Thereby, the time required to pay out coins such as change can be shortened. By the way, due to differences in the structure of the dispensing mechanism and other reasons, the dispensing speeds of the main storage section and the sub-storage section are often different. Therefore, it is rare that the main storage section and the sub-storage section finish dispensing their respective allocated numbers of sheets (s) and c at the same time, and one of them often finishes dispensing first. In preparation for such a case, it is advisable to provide a reassignment means.The reassignment means, when the payout of the π side of the main storage section and the sub storage section is completed first, the remaining number of coins allocated to the other side is calculated. It is further divided and reallocated to the main storage section and the sub-storage section, respectively. For example, when the main storage part finishes dispensing first, the sub-storage part has d out of the allocated number C.
Assume that the payout of the coins has ended and that 8 coins remain to be paid out (C=d+e). In that case, the reallocation means divides e into f and g' (where e=f+g) and reallocates f to the main storage and g to the sub storage, respectively. According to this reallocation, the main storage section and the sub-storage section perform dispensing, respectively. In this way, the time required to pay out coins such as change can be further shortened. Note that the reallocation process by the reallocation means and the coin payout process based thereon may be repeated until the required total number of coins is finally paid out. [Embodiment] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram showing an example of a mechanical section of a coin changer 10 to which the present invention is applied, and FIG. 3 is a hardware configuration block diagram showing an example of a control circuit device installed in this coin changer 10. . The coin changer 10 is roughly divided into a coin sorter 11 and a main coin storage section 1.
2, a main coin dispensing mechanism 13, a sub coin storage section 14,
It includes an auxiliary coin dispensing mechanism 15 and a control circuit device shown in FIG. A coin sorting machine 11 determines the authenticity of input coins, mechanically sorts genuine coins and counterfeit coins, guides the counterfeit coins to a return path 16, and mechanically sorts genuine coins by denomination. The main coin storage section 12 includes coin tubes A, B, and C for each denomination and a coin holding section, and stores coins for each denomination sorted by the coin sorter 11 into the coin tube A corresponding to the denomination. ,B. C or the coin storage section. Coin tube A, B
, C stores coins by laying them on their sides and stacking them, making it possible to store a relatively large number of coins. The coin storage section stores coins by stacking them vertically or diagonally, and can store a relatively small number of coins. For example, coin tube A corresponds to a 10 yen coin, and coin tube B corresponds to a 5 yen coin.
C corresponds to a 0 yen coin, C corresponds to a 100 yen coin, and the coin storage part corresponds to a 500 yen coin. Of course, this is not limited to this, and each coin tube A, B, C or coin storage section may correspond to other denominations, or multiple coin tubes A may correspond to other denominations.
, B, C or the coin storage portions may correspond to the same denomination. The main coin dispensing mechanism 13 has coin tubes A and B.
, C, and a dispensing mechanism 13b for dispensing coins from the coin storage section. The auxiliary coin storage section 14 is not automatically replenished with input coins, and is used to dispense stored coins only by manual replenishment. In this example, the secondary coin storage section 14 consists of two coin tubes E and F. Each coin tube E
, F stores the coins by laying them down and stacking them as described above. For example, coin tube E corresponds to a 10 yen coin, and coin tube F corresponds to a 100 yen coin. Of course, the present invention is not limited to this, and each coin tube E, F may correspond to another denomination, or a plurality of coin tubes E, F may correspond to the same denomination. The secondary coin dispensing mechanism 15 is for selectively dispensing coins from either of the coin tubes E and F. Of course, as is known, which denomination each coin tube A to F is set to correspond to can be determined by switch settings, data, or the like. Hereinafter, A, B, and C will be referred to as main tubes, and E and F will be referred to as subtubes. Each of the coin dispensing mechanisms 13a, 13b, and 15 has a separate dispensing drive section, and can perform dispensing operations independently. The coin sorting machine 11 may include an electronic input coin sensor 11a, which has a function of electronically determining the authenticity of input coins. The coin sorting machine 11 mechanically sorts counterfeit coins and genuine coins according to this determination. Additionally, input coin sensors 17a to 17d are provided for each denomination to detect coins guided from the coin sorter 11 to the main coin storage section 12 by denomination and to generate input coin detection signals. In addition, input coin sensors 17a to 17 for each denomination
Instead of d, the denomination of the inserted coin may be determined based on the output of the coin sensor lla, and an inserted coin detection signal for each denomination may be generated. In addition, each coin dispensing mechanism 13a, 1
Coin sensors other than the electronic input coin sensor lla (17a
~17d, 18, 19.20, etc.) may have only the function of detecting passage of a coin. Note that the inserted coins are sorted by the coin sorter 11 and guided to be temporarily stored in the main coin storage section 12, but the coin storage section 12 of the corresponding denomination is not fully stocked with coins. If there is 2, as is well known, there will be an overflow and gold li! (not shown). Further, as is generally known, an empty sensor may be provided in association with each coin tube to detect when the amount of coins stored therein has fallen below a predetermined shortage amount. Further, instead of or in addition to the empty sensor, an empty counter for counting the amount of stored coins may be provided. Next, one embodiment of the control circuit device will be described with reference to FIG. In this control circuit device, various processes are controlled by a microcomputer 21. The outputs of the input coin sensors 17a to 17d for each denomination, the output coin sensors 18, 19, 20, etc. are input to the microcomputer 21 via a path 22. Also, bus 2
A coin dispensing command signal is applied to the coin dispensing mechanisms 13a, 13b, and 15 through the coin dispensing mechanisms 13a, 13b, and 15, respectively. The output interface 23 is for sending display data, a sales enable signal, and other data to the amount display 24, a sales circuit (not shown), and the like. The input interface 25 is for receiving product selection signals and other data from a sales circuit or the like. Next, among the various processes executed under the control of the microcomputer 21, one embodiment of the process related to dispensing coins for change, etc., which is particularly relevant to the present invention, will be explained based on the flowcharts from FIG. 4 onwards. . FIG. 4 shows the main routine of the change payout process. First, in step 30, the amount of change to be paid out is classified by denomination. Then, the number of coins to be paid out with 10 yen coins is stored in register KAN, the number of coins to be paid out with 50 yen coins is stored in register KBN, and the number of coins to be paid out with 100 yen coins is stored in register KCN. Next, allocation subroutines 31, 32, 33 by denomination
are executed sequentially. Each allocation subroutine 31, 32.
At step 33, the number of coins to be paid out is divided into corresponding predetermined denominations and allocated to the main tubes A, B, and C and the subtubes E and F, respectively. 5th detailed example of 100 yen allocation subroutine 31
This will be explained with reference to the figures. Here, register A stores the number of coins assigned to the main tube for ]00 yen.
1, a register B1 that stores the number of coins allocated to the 100 yen subtube, and an empty counter RCN that counts the amount of coins stored in the 100 yen main tube.6 First, in step 34, 100 yen coins are stored. It is checked whether the value of the coin payout number register KCN is greater than O, that is, there is a number of 100 yen coins to be paid out. If it is, the process goes to step 35, but if it is, the process returns to the main routine. In step 35, one of the subtubes E,
Check whether F is set for storing 100 yen coins. If either subtube E or F is set for storing 100 yen coins, go to step 36 and store 100 yen coins.
Check whether there is an error in the dispensing operation of the subtube set for storing 0 yen coins. As is known, errors are detected during the subtube dispensing operation, and if an error occurs, the error is stored. In this step 36, it is checked whether or not the error is stored. If there is no error regarding the dispensing operation of the subtube set for storing 100 yen coins, proceed to step 3.
7, divide the number of 100 yen coins to be paid out stored in the 100 yen coins payout number register KCN into two,
Assign each to the main tube and sub tube. That is, the contents of the register KCN are divided by 2 and the integer value is stored in the 100 yen subtube allocation number register B1 (B1=INT(KCN/2)). and,
Subtract the contents of register B1 from the contents of register KCN,
100 yen main tube allocation number register A
1 (A1=KCN-81), thus the number of 100 yen coins to be paid out allocated to the main tube is stored in register A1, and the number of 100 yen coins to be paid out allocated to the sub tube is stored in register B1. In the next step 38, the 1 assigned to the main tube
The number of 00 yen coins to be paid out, that is, the contents of register A1,
It is checked whether is greater than the contents of the 100 yen main tube empty counter RCN. If not large, 100
Since the current stored number of coins in the Yen main tube means that the number of coins indicated by the register A1 can be paid out, this subroutine is ended and the process returns to the main routine. If it is large, depending on the number of coins currently stored in the main tube for 100 yen, register A
Since 1 means that the indicated number of coins cannot be paid out, the process goes to step 39 and the allocation is changed. In step 39, the content of the 100 yen main tube allocated number register A1 is made to match the content of the 100 yen main tube empty counter RCN (A1=RCN).
Then, register KC for the number of 100 yen coins to be paid out.
The new contents of register A1 are subtracted from the contents of N, and the result is stored in register B1 for the number of 100 yen subtubes allocated (B1=KCN-Al). Thereafter, this subroutine ends and returns to the main routine. On the other hand, if neither subtube E or F is set for storing 100 yen coins (if step 35 is No), or there is an error regarding the dispensing operation of the subtube set for storing 100 yen coins. If so (YES in step 36), the process goes to step 40, where the contents of the 100 yen coin payout number register KCN are assigned only to the 1°O yen main tube allocated number register A1. That is, the process (Al
=KCN), and then reset the contents of the 100 yen subtube allocation number register B1 to O (B1=
O), then terminate this subroutine and return to the main routine.
-Return to Chin. Next, a 50 yen allocation subroutine 32 is executed. A detailed example of this 50 yen allocation subroutine 32 is shown in FIG. Here, register A2 stores the number of coins assigned to the main tube for 50 yen, and
A register B2 for storing the number of coins allocated to the sub-tube for 0 yen and an empty counter RBN for counting the amount of coins stored in the main tube for 50 yen are used. The contents of the processing are the same as in Fig. 5.
In the figure, Al, Bl, RCN, and KCN are 50 yen main tube allocated number register A2, 50 yen sub tube allocated number register B2, 5Q yen main tube empty counter RBN. The only difference is that it is replaced by the 50 yen coin payout number register KBN. Therefore, under the given conditions, 5
The contents of the 0 yen coin payout number register KBN are divided into two parts and allocated to the 50 yen main tube allocated number register A2 and the 50 yen sub tube allocated number register B2, respectively. As mentioned above, if neither subtube E or F is set for storing 50 yen coins, the contents of the 50 yen coin payout number register KBN are stored as they are in the 50 yen main tube allocated number register A2. . Next, a 10 yen allocation subroutine 33 is executed. A detailed example of this 10 yen allocation subroutine 33 is shown in FIG. Here, register A3 stores the number of coins assigned to the main tube for 10 yen, and 1
A register B3 for storing the number of coins allocated to the sub-tube for 0 yen, and an empty counter RAN for counting the amount of coins stored in the main tube for 10 yen are used. The contents of the processing are the same as in Fig. 5.
In the figure, Al, Bl, RCN, and KCN are respectively. 10 yen main tube allocation number register A3゜10
Circle sub tube allocation number register B3゜10 yen main tube empty counter RAN. The only difference is that the 10 yen coin payout number register KAN is replaced. Therefore, under the given conditions, 1
The contents of the 0 yen coin payout number register KAN are divided into two parts and allocated to the 10 yen main tube allocated number register A3 and the 10 yen sub tube allocated number register B3, respectively. Returning to the main routine of FIG. 4, when the above-mentioned allocation subroutines 31, 32, and 33 are completed, the main/sub payout control routine 41 is executed. Here, the operation of the main coin dispensing mechanism 13a is controlled based on the contents of each main tube allocated number register A1 to A3, and from each corresponding main tube A, B, C to each register A.
1 to A3, and at the same time, in parallel, controls the operation of the sub-coin dispensing mechanism 15 based on the contents of each sub-tube allocated number register 81 to B3. . From each corresponding subtube E, F, each register 81~
The process of dispensing the number of coins indicated by B3 is performed, and the contents of each register Al-A3゜81 to B3 are as follows every time one coin is dispensed from the corresponding coin tubes A to F. 1 is subtracted.In step 42, it is checked whether coin dispensing from main tubes A, B, and C has been completed. It is assumed that main tubes A, B, and C finish dispensing first.Main tubes A, B
, C is completed, the process goes to a reallocation routine 43. In the reallocation routine 43, the contents of each subtube allocation number register 81 to B3 (which indicates the remaining number of coins to be paid out) are further divided and reallocated to the main tube and subtube. A detailed example of this reallocation routine 43 is shown in FIG.
), (b), first step 45
Then, it is checked whether the contents of each subtube allocation number register B1-83 are all O. If all are O, the change payment has been completed. After completing this reassignment routine and performing predetermined error detection processing, it returns to the standby state. Unless all are O,
Since change disbursement has not been completed yet, step 46
Proceed to continue processing. In step 46, all subtube defective flags 5UBN
Check whether G is set to "1". This flag 5UBNG is set when all subtubes are determined to be malfunctioning or malfunctioning due to error detection processing (not shown).
1". If the flag 5UBNG is set to "1", it is impossible to dispense from the subtube, so the process goes to step 47, and each register Bl, B2, B3 The contents of are replaced with the corresponding main tube allocation number registers A1 to A3 (A1=Bl, A2=B2.A3=B3.Bl=
O, B2=O, B3=O), : is finished, and the main/sub payout control routine 44 (fourth
Figure). If the flag 5UBNG is not set to 111'', go to step 48 and continue this reassignment routine. In step 48, it is checked whether the subtube is in the dispensing operation, and if it is, the operation is finished. Wait until
Go to 9 and check whether B1:0, that is, whether there are enough 100 yen coins left to pay out. If there are still 100 yen coins left to pay out,
Go to step 50 and check whether the "rloo yen main only permission flag" is set to LL I IT. "
The 100 yen main only permission flag is a flag that is set when 100 yen coins should be paid out only from the main tube, for example, when the process of step 40 in FIG. 5 has been passed. Set when it becomes clear that the subtube cannot be used or will not be used. If the "100 yen main only permission flag" is set to 111 IT, go to step 51 and perform the process of replacing the contents of the 100 yen sub tube allocated number register B1 with the corresponding 100 yen main tube allocated number register A1. (A1=81.B1=O). On the other hand, if the "rloo yen main only permission flag" is not set to "1", go to step 52 and set 100.
Check whether the contents of the circular subtube allocation number register B1 is greater than 1. If B1>1, the process goes to step 53 and the register B
The contents of 1 are set in the 100 yen coin payout number register KCN. Then, the process goes to step 54, and the "rloo circle allocation subroutine" is executed. This rloo circle allocation subroutine is similar to that shown in FIG. Therefore, 100 yen coin payout number register KCH
The remaining number of 100 yen coins to be paid out is divided into two and reallocated to the 100 yen main tube allocated number register A1 and the 100 yen sub tube allocated number register B1, respectively. If it is determined in step 52 that 81>1 is not true, that is, if B1=1, the rloo yen allocation subroutine.
54 is not executed, and the state of A1=O and B1=1 is maintained. This is so that when the remaining number of subtubes to be paid out is 1, the money is paid out from the subtube without being reallocated. In the next steps 55 to 60, the same processing as the above-mentioned steps 49 to 54 executed for the 100 yen coin is performed for the 50 yen coin.The "50 yen allocation subroutine" of step 60 is shown in FIG. It is the same as the one above. Therefore, the remaining number of 50 yen coins set in the 50 yen coin payout number register KBN is divided into two, and 50 yen coins are paid out.
They are reallocated to the yen main tube allocation number register A2 and the 50 yen subtube allocation number register B2, respectively. In the next steps 61 to 66, the same processing as the above-mentioned steps 49 to 54 executed for the 100 yen coin is performed for the 10 yen coin.The "10 yen allocation subroutine" of step 66 is as shown in FIG. It is similar to Therefore, the remaining number of 50 yen coins set in the 10 yen coin payout number register KAN is divided into two, and 10
They are reallocated to the yen main tube allocation number register A3 and the 10 yen subtube allocation number register B3, respectively. In the next step 67, each register A1~A3°B1~B
Check the contents of 3 to see if there are any coins to be paid out. If so, this reassignment routine is ended and the process moves to the main/sub payout control routine 44 (FIG. 4). If there are no coins to be paid out, this reallocation routine is completed, a predetermined error detection process is performed, and then the machine returns to the standby state. Returning to the main routine of FIG. 4, in the main/sub payout control routine 44, the same processing as the main/sub payout control routine 41 described above is executed. That is,
Controls the operation of the main coin dispensing mechanism 13a based on the contents of each main tube allocated number register A1 to A3,
A process is performed in which the number of coins indicated by each of the registers A1 to A3 is paid out from each of the corresponding main tubes A, B, and C, respectively. At the same time, in parallel, the operation of the sub-coin dispensing mechanism 15 is controlled based on the contents of each sub-tube allocated number register 81-B3, and the amount indicated by each register 81-B3 is controlled from the corresponding sub-tube E, F. The process of dispensing the number of coins respectively is performed. In this way, the reallocated number of coins are paid out. In addition, each register A1 to A3. The contents of B1 to B3 are subtracted by 1 each time one coin is paid out from the corresponding coin tubes A to F. Step 4 from main/sub payout control routine 44
2, the reallocation process may be repeated many times. Of course, the reallocation process may be performed only once without returning to step 42 from the main/sub payout control routine 44. Alternatively, the change payout process may be ended in the main/sub payout control routine 41 without performing any reallocation process. Although there are two subtubes in the above embodiment, there may be only one subtube, or there may be three or more subtubes. Further, in the above embodiment, the subtube is configured to be exclusively manually refilled with stored coins, but the subtube may be configured to be automatically refilled with input coins. Furthermore, the main storage section and the sub-storage section are not limited to coin tubes that allow coins to be stacked horizontally, but may also be those that allow coins to be stacked vertically or diagonally (coin chute) or other types. It's okay. Further, in the above embodiment, the reallocation process is performed on the premise that the payout from the main tube is completed first, but the invention is not limited to this. In short, when the payout of one of the main storage section and the sub-storage section is completed first, the remaining number of payout sheets allocated to the other is further divided and reallocated to the main storage section and the sub-storage section, respectively. Bye. [Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention, the number of coins to be dispensed as change, etc., of a predetermined denomination is divided and allocated to the main storage section and the sub-storage section, respectively. Since the main storage part and the sub-storage part dispense the same number of coins independently, it is possible to dispense coins from the main storage part and the sub-storage part simultaneously in parallel, thereby making it possible to dispense change, etc. It is possible to shorten the time required to pay out coins. It has this excellent effect. Further, when the payout from one of the main storage section and the sub storage section is completed first, the remaining number of payout sheets allocated to the other is further divided. By reallocating coins to the main storage section and the sub-storage section for dispensing, it is possible to further shorten the dispensing time for coins such as change.
