桟部１７２は、ベルト本体１７１の周方向（回転方向）における両側に、この周方向に略円弧状に凹む棒金収容部１７７を有している。言い換えれば、桟部１７２は、表裏両側に、互いに近づくように凹む棒金収容部１７７を有している。桟部１７２は、ベルト本体１７１の包装部１０１及び棒金収納繰出部１０２側、即ち後側に位置すると、一方の棒金収容部１７７が上部で下方に凹み、ベルト本体１７１の包装部１０１及び棒金収納繰出部１０２とは反対側、即ち前側に位置すると、他方の棒金収容部１７７が上部で下方に凹む姿勢となるように、ベルト本体１７１に取り付けられている。
The crosspiece 172 has, on both sides of the belt main body 171 in the circumferential direction (rotational direction), coin-roll accommodating portions 177 that are recessed in a substantially arcuate shape in the circumferential direction. In other words, the crosspiece 172 has coin roll storage sections 177 on both front and back sides that are recessed so as to approach each other. When the bar portion 172 is positioned on the side of the wrapping portion 101 and the coin roll storing and feeding portion 102 of the belt body 171, i.e., on the rear side, one of the coin roll storing portions 177 is recessed downward at the upper portion, and the wrapping portion 101 and the coin roll storing portion 177 of the belt body 171 are recessed downward. When placed on the opposite side of the coin-roll storing and feeding section 102, that is, on the front side, the other coin-roll storing section 177 is attached to the belt main body 171 so that the upper portion of the coin-roll storing section 177 is in a downward recessed posture.
搬送空間形成部１５２は、縦型ベルトコンベア１５１の上部を上方で覆う上方カバー部１８１と、縦型ベルトコンベア１５１の前部を前方で覆う前方カバー部１８２と、縦型ベルトコンベア１５１の下部を下方で覆う下方カバー部１８３とを有している。上方カバー部１８１は、略平板状であり、前下がりに傾斜している。前方カバー部１８２は、前後方向に直交して広がる平板状であり、上下方向に延びている。下方カバー部１８３は、下方に凹の半円筒状となっている。前方カバー部１８２及び下方カバー部１８３は、対向する桟部１７２のベルト本体１７１とは反対側の端部との間に棒金Ｂを通過させない程度の若干の隙間を形成するように配置されている。
The conveying space forming part 152 includes an upper cover part 181 that covers the upper part of the vertical belt conveyor 151 from above, a front cover part 182 that covers the front part of the vertical belt conveyor 151 from the front, and a lower part of the vertical belt conveyor 151. It has a lower cover part 183 that covers the bottom. The upper cover portion 181 has a substantially flat plate shape and is inclined forward and downward.

The lower cover portion 183 has a semi-cylindrical shape concave downward. The front cover portion 182 and the lower cover portion 183 are arranged so as to form a slight gap between the opposite ends of the crosspieces 172 opposite to the belt main body 171 to the extent that the coin roll B does not pass therethrough. there is
縦型ベルトコンベア１５１の一対の棒金搬送ベルト１５８は、棒金Ｂを、包装部１０１及び棒金収納繰出部１０２から受け取る際には、一対のベルト本体１７１の、包装部１０１及び棒金収納繰出部１０２側、即ち後側にあって、高さ位置が一致する一対の桟部１７２で受け取る。その際に、これらの桟部１７２は、棒金Ｂを、受け取り時に上部にあって下方に凹む棒金収容部１７７で収容して搬送する。
When the pair of coin-roll conveying belts 158 of the vertical belt conveyor 151 receive the coin-roll B from the packaging unit 101 and the coin-roll storing and feeding unit 102, the pair of belt main bodies 171 are connected to the packaging unit 101 and the coin-roll storing unit 102. It is received by a pair of crosspieces 172 located on the side of the feeding section 102, that is, on the rear side and having the same height position. At this time, these crosspieces 172 store and convey the coin roll B in a coin roll accommodation section 177 which is located at the top and is recessed downward when receiving the coin roll.
縦型ベルトコンベア１５１は、例えば、一対の棒金搬送ベルト１５８が、後側の一対の桟部１７２で包装部１０１或いは棒金収納繰出部１０２から受け取った棒金Ｂを、第１の方向（図３における反時計回り方向）に回転することで上方に搬送する。この後側での鉛直上方への搬送では、棒金Ｂを、高さ位置が合う一対の桟部１７２で水平に支持することになり、これら一対の桟部１７２は、棒金Ｂを、この時に上側にあって下方に凹む棒金収容部１７７に収容して搬送する。
In the vertical belt conveyor 151, for example, a pair of coin-roll conveying belts 158 transports the coin-roll B received from the packaging unit 101 or the coin-roll storing and feeding unit 102 to a pair of rear crosspieces 172 in a first direction ( It is conveyed upward by rotating in the counterclockwise direction in FIG. In the vertically upward transportation on the rear side, the coin roll B is horizontally supported by a pair of crosspieces 172 whose height positions match each other. Sometimes, the coins are accommodated in a rolled coin accommodating portion 177 which is located on the upper side and is recessed downward, and then conveyed.
その後、縦型ベルトコンベア１５１は、その上部で後側から前側に棒金Ｂの搬送位置が変わることになる。その際に、一対の棒金搬送ベルト１５８の後側で棒金Ｂを搬送していた一対の桟部１７２は、縦型ベルトコンベア１５１の最上部付近で、棒金収容部１７７が前方に横向きになり、その結果、これらの桟部１７２で支持していた棒金Ｂを、これらの桟部１７２から一対のベルト本体１７１で案内しつつ、自重によりこれらの桟部１７２の回転方向前側（搬送方向下流側）に隣り合う、一対の桟部１７２に向け落下させることになる。
After that, the vertical belt conveyor 151 changes the conveying position of the metal roll B from the rear side to the front side at the upper portion thereof. At that time, the pair of crosspieces 172 that were conveying the coin roll B on the rear side of the pair of coin-roll conveying belts 158 moved to the top of the vertical belt conveyor 151, with the coin-roll storage section 177 facing forward and sideways. As a result, while the coin roll B supported by these crosspieces 172 is guided from these crosspieces 172 by the pair of belt main bodies 171, its own weight causes these crosspieces 172 to move forward in the rotation direction (conveyance (direction downstream side).
上方カバー部１８１は、一対の棒金搬送ベルト１５８のベルト本体１７１との間に、前下がりの上部搬送空間１８６を形成し、前方カバー部１８２は、一対の棒金搬送ベルト１５８のベルト本体１７１との間に、上下に直線状に延びる前部搬送空間１８７を形成する。棒金搬送ベルト１５８の上部位置での後から前への搬送で自重により落下する棒金Ｂは、上部搬送空間１８６を落下し、場合により更に前部搬送空間１８７を落下する。
The upper cover portion 181 forms an upper conveying space 186 that descends forward between the pair of coin-roll conveying belts 158 and the belt bodies 171 of the pair of coin-roll conveying belts 158 . A front conveying space 187 extending linearly vertically is formed between the . The coin roll B, which is transported from the rear to the front at the upper position of the coin roll transport belt 158 and falls due to its own weight, drops through the upper transport space 186 and, in some cases, further drops through the front transport space 187 .
また、縦型ベルトコンベア１５１は、例えば、一対の棒金搬送ベルト１５８が、後側の一対の桟部１７２で棒金収納繰出部１０２から受け取った棒金Ｂを、第１の方向とは逆の第２の方向（図３における時計回り方向）に回転することで下方に搬送する。この後側での鉛直下方への搬送でも、棒金Ｂを、高さ位置が合う一対の桟部１７２で水平に支持することになり、これら一対の桟部１７２は、棒金Ｂを、この時に上側にあって下方に凹む棒金収容部１７７に収容して搬送する。
In addition, the vertical belt conveyor 151, for example, transports the coin-roll B received from the coin-roll storing and feeding unit 102 to the pair of rear crosspieces 172 by the pair of coin-roll conveying belts 158 in the direction opposite to the first direction. (clockwise direction in FIG. 3) to convey downward. Even when the metal roll B is conveyed vertically downward on the rear side, the metal roll B is horizontally supported by the pair of crosspieces 172 whose height positions match each other. Sometimes, the coins are accommodated in a rolled coin accommodating portion 177 which is located on the upper side and is recessed downward, and then conveyed.
その後、縦型ベルトコンベア１５１は、これらの桟部１７２が下降して最下部付近に位置すると、棒金Ｂを収容していたこれらの桟部１７２の棒金収容部１７７が後方に横向きになり、その結果、これらの桟部１７２で支持していた棒金Ｂを、これらの桟部１７２から、下方カバー部１８３に落下させ、下方カバー部１８３のみで支持する状態になる。
After that, when the crosspieces 172 of the vertical belt conveyor 151 descend and are positioned near the bottom, the coin-roll accommodating portions 177 of the crosspieces 172 that have accommodated the coin-roll B are turned sideways backward. As a result, the metal roll B supported by these crosspieces 172 is dropped from these crosspieces 172 to the lower cover part 183 and is supported only by the lower cover part 183 .
その後、縦型ベルトコンベア１５１は、この棒金Ｂを、これらの桟部１７２の回転方向後側（搬送方向上流側）に隣り合う一対の桟部１７２が、下方カバー部１８３とで支持する状態となって、下方カバー部１８３に沿って前側且つ上方に搬送することになり、鉛直上方に搬送する状態では、これら桟部１７２で支持する状態になる。その際に、これらの桟部１７２は、棒金Ｂを、この時上部にある棒金収容部１７７で収容しつつ持ち上げて搬送する。下方カバー部１８３は、一対の棒金搬送ベルト１５８のベルト本体１７１との間に円弧状の下部搬送空間１８８を形成している。
After that, the vertical belt conveyor 151 supports the metal roll B by a pair of crosspieces 172 adjacent to each other on the rear side in the rotation direction (upstream side in the transport direction) of the crosspieces 172 and the lower cover part 183 . As a result, it is transported forward and upward along the lower cover portion 183 , and when transported vertically upward, it is supported by these crosspieces 172 . At this time, these crosspieces 172 lift and convey the coin roll B while containing it in the coin roll containing section 177 located at the top. The lower cover portion 183 forms an arc-shaped lower conveying space 188 between the pair of coin-roll conveying belts 158 and the belt bodies 171 .
上方カバー部１８１と前方カバー部１８２の間に、上記した棒金出金部１２３の上部の出金部導入口１３１が設けられており、前方カバー部１８２には、棒金一括収納部１２４の上部の収納部導入口１３６に上下方向及び左右方向の位置を合わせて近接開口する一括収納部用開口部１９２が設けられている。前方カバー部１８２の下方カバー部１８３側に、放出部ゲート１４２の放出部導入口１４１が設けられている。
Between the upper cover portion 181 and the front cover portion 182, there is provided a withdrawal portion introduction port 131 at the upper portion of the coin roll withdrawal portion 123. The front cover portion 182 contains the coin roll batch storage portion 124. A collective storage opening 192 is provided that is aligned with the upper storage introduction port 136 in the up-down direction and the left-right direction. The discharge section introduction port 141 of the discharge section gate 142 is provided on the lower cover section 183 side of the front cover section 182 .

The slider 271a advances and retreats in the front-rear direction between a backward end position shown in FIG. 9 and a forward end position shown in FIG. The home position of the slider 271a is the basic position of the retracted end position.
図１１に示すように、一対の棒金保持部２８４ａは、スライダベース部２８１ａの先端棒金規制部２８２ａ側、即ち先端側の上面に、センサ開口部２８７ａを挟んで配置されており、スライダベース部２８１ａの上面に固定されて、この上面から上方に凸状をなす。一対の棒金保持部２８４ａは、同じくスライダベース部２８１ａの上面から上方に突出する先端棒金規制部２８２ａとの間に棒金Ｂを１本だけ係止する。先端棒金規制部２８２ａと一対の棒金保持部２８４ａとスライダベース部２８１ａのこれらの間部分とが、棒金Ｂが１本配置されると共に、配置された棒金Ｂのスライダ本体２８３ａに対する前後移動を規制してこれを支持可能な棒金支持部２８８ａとなっている。スライダ２７１ａに設けられた棒金支持部２８８ａも、所定の前進端位置と所定の後退端位置との間で前後方向に進退する。棒金支持部２８８ａは、棒金収納部２１２ａの後方凹部２３７ａと左右方向の位置が重なり合っている。
As shown in FIG. 11, the pair of coin-roll holding portions 284a are arranged on the upper surface of the slider base portion 281a on the side of the tip-end coin-roll restricting portion 282a, i. It is fixed to the upper surface of the portion 281a and forms a convex shape upward from this upper surface. The pair of coin-roll holding portions 284a similarly locks only one coin-roll B between the leading end coin-roll restricting portion 282a projecting upward from the upper surface of the slider base portion 281a. A single coin roll B is arranged between the leading end coin-roll restricting portion 282a, the pair of coin-roll holding portions 284a, and the portion between these portions of the slider base portion 281a. A coin-roll supporting portion 288a is provided that can restrict the movement and support it. The coin-roll supporting portion 288a provided on the slider 271a also advances and retreats in the front-rear direction between a predetermined forward end position and a predetermined backward end position. The coin-roll supporting portion 288a overlaps the rear concave portion 237a of the coin-roll storing portion 212a in the horizontal direction.
図１２に示すように、スライダ２７１ａが前進端位置にあるとき、その先端部の棒金支持部２８８ａが縦型ベルトコンベア１５１の一対の棒金搬送ベルト１５８の後部にある桟部１７２の上部の棒金収容部１７７と前後方向の位置を重ね合わせることになる。このとき、棒金支持部２８８ａは、左右に離間する一対の棒金搬送ベルト１５８の間に入り込む。よって、スライダ２７１ａが前進端位置にあるとき、棒金支持部２８８ａに配置された棒金Ｂが縦型ベルトコンベア１５１の後部で上昇する一対の桟部１７２に掬い上げられる。また、スライダ２７１ａが前進端位置にあるとき、棒金支持部２８８ａが縦型ベルトコンベア１５１の後部で下降する一対の桟部１７２の上部の棒金収容部１７７に収容されている棒金Ｂを相対的に掬い上げる。
As shown in FIG. 12 , when the slider 271 a is at the forward end position, the coin-roll supporting portion 288 a at the tip of the slider 271 a is positioned above the crosspiece 172 at the rear of the pair of coin-roll conveying belts 158 of the vertical belt conveyor 151 . The position in the front-rear direction is overlapped with the coin-roll accommodating portion 177 . At this time, the coin-roll supporting portion 288a enters between the pair of coin-roll conveying belts 158 that are separated from each other in the left and right direction. Therefore, when the slider 271 a is at the forward end position, the coin roll B placed on the coin roll support portion 288 a is scooped up by the pair of crosspieces 172 rising at the rear portion of the vertical belt conveyor 151 . When the slider 271a is at the forward end position, the coin-roll supporting portion 288a moves the coin-roll B accommodated in the coin-roll accommodation portion 177 above the pair of crosspieces 172 descending at the rear portion of the vertical belt conveyor 151. Relatively scooped up.
図１１に示すように、棒金保持部２８４ａは、前後方向に直交して広がる壁面２９１ａと、壁面２９１ａの上端縁部から、左右方向に沿う状態で後ろ上がりに延出する斜面２９２ａと、斜面２９２ａの壁面２９１ａとは反対側の端縁部から、後方に水平に広がる平坦面２９３ａとを有している。棒金Ｂは、棒金保持部２８４ａの壁面２９１ａと斜面２９２ａとの境界縁部と、先端棒金規制部２８２ａとの両方に同時に当接して棒金支持部２８８ａに係止される。言い換えれば、先端棒金規制部２８２ａと棒金保持部２８４ａとでこれらの間に棒金Ｂをスライダ２７１ａ内において前後に移動しないように保持する。
As shown in FIG. 11, the coin-roll holding portion 284a includes a wall surface 291a that extends perpendicularly to the front-rear direction, a slope 292a that extends rearward and upward from the upper edge of the wall surface 291a along the left-right direction, and a slope 292a. 292a has a flat surface 293a extending horizontally rearward from the edge portion on the side opposite to the wall surface 291a. The coin roll B contacts both the boundary edge between the wall surface 291a and the slope 292a of the coin-roll holding portion 284a and the tip coin-roll restricting portion 282a at the same time, and is locked to the coin-roll support portion 288a. In other words, the coin roll regulating portion 282a and the coin roll holding portion 284a hold the coin roll B between them so as not to move back and forth within the slider 271a.
棒金保持部２８４ａは、図１０，図１１に示すようにスライダ２７１ａが前進端位置に位置するとき、斜面２９２ａが棒金係止部２２５ａの傾斜面２４３ａの前方で傾斜面２４３ａの略延長面上に配置される。棒金保持部２８４ａは、図９に示すようにスライダ２７１ａが後退端位置に位置するとき、その上端となる平坦面２９３ａが載置面２２１ａの高さ以下、具体的には載置面２２１ａよりもやや低い位置に配置されており、スライダ２７１ａが、後退端位置に位置しスライダ収容凹部２３３ａ内に収容された状態では棒金Ｂと接触しないようになっている。
When the slider 271a is at the forward end position as shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, the coin-roll holding portion 284a has an inclined surface 292a in front of the inclined surface 243a of the coin-roll locking portion 225a and substantially an extended surface of the inclined surface 243a. placed above. As shown in FIG. 9, when the slider 271a is at the retracted end position, the coin-roll holding portion 284a has a flat surface 293a which is the upper end of the coin-roll holding portion 284a. The slider 271a is arranged at a slightly lower position, so that the slider 271a does not come into contact with the coin roll B when it is located in the retracted end position and accommodated in the slider accommodating recess 233a.
スライダ２７１ａは、後退端位置に位置するとき、棒金支持部２８８ａが一対の棒金係止部２２５ａよりも後方に離間して棒金収納部２１２ａ内に退避することになり、図１０に示すように前進端位置に位置するとき、棒金支持部２８８ａが、一対の棒金係止部２２５ａの間及び一対の前側プーリ２５１ａよりも前方に位置する。スライダ２７１ａは、前進端位置に位置するとき、棒金支持部２８８ａが棒金収納部２１２ａよりも前方に突出する。
When the slider 271a is at the retracted end position, the coin-roll supporting portion 288a is separated rearward from the pair of coin-roll locking portions 225a and retreats into the coin-roll storing portion 212a, as shown in FIG. When positioned at the forward end position, the coin roll support portion 288a is positioned between the pair of coin roll locking portions 225a and forward of the pair of front pulleys 251a. When the slider 271a is positioned at the forward end position, the coin-roll supporting portion 288a protrudes forward from the coin-roll storing portion 212a.
異金種センサ２１６ａは、棒金収納部２１２ａの棒金係止部２２５ａよりもやや後方の先端部近傍に設けられており、棒金Ｂを入金及び出金する際に棒金Ｂの異金種をチェックする。異金種センサ２１６ａは、これと前後方向の位置が合う棒金Ｂが、予め設定された金種であるか、この金種とは異なる異金種であるかを検知する。
The different denomination sensor 216a is provided in the vicinity of the front end portion slightly behind the coin roll locking portion 225a of the coin roll storing portion 212a, and detects the different coin type of the coin roll B when depositing and withdrawing the coin roll B. Check seeds. The different denomination sensor 216a detects whether the coin roll B matching the position in the front-rear direction is a preset denomination or a different denomination different from this denomination.
異金種センサ２１６ａは、具体的には、図９に示すようにスライダ２７１ａが後退端位置にあって棒金収納部２１２ａ内に棒金支持部２８８ａを退避させた状態にあるとき、先端棒金規制部２８２ａに当接し棒金支持部２８８ａに配置されている棒金Ｂと前後方向の位置を合わせて設けられている。よって、異金種センサ２１６ａは、後退端位置にある棒金支持部２８８ａに配置されている棒金Ｂの異金種を検知する。スライダ２７１ａは、後退端位置にあるとき、先端棒金規制部２８２ａに当接する棒金Ｂの異金種センサ２１６ａよりも前方への移動を規制する。前部側棒金規制部２３８ａは、スライダ２７１ａが後退端位置にあるとき先端棒金規制部２８２ａに当接し棒金支持部２８８ａに配置されている棒金Ｂの直前となる位置に配置されている。
More specifically, when the slider 271a is at the retracted end position as shown in FIG. It is provided so as to be aligned in the front-rear direction with the coin roll B that abuts against the coin regulation portion 282a and is arranged on the coin roll support portion 288a. Therefore, the different denomination sensor 216a detects the different denomination of the coin roll B arranged on the coin roll support portion 288a at the retracted end position. When the slider 271a is at the retracted end position, the slider 271a restricts the movement of the coin roll B contacting the leading end coin roll restricting portion 282a forward of the different denomination sensor 216a. When the slider 271a is at the retracted end position, the front side coin-roll restricting portion 238a abuts against the distal end coin-roll restricting portion 282a and is arranged in front of the coin-roll B arranged on the coin-roll supporting portion 288a. there is
また、異金種センサ２１６ａは、図１２に示すように棒金載置部２２３ａに載置されている先頭の棒金Ｂが棒金係止部２２５ａに係止されている状態においてその１つ後方となる、先頭から２番目の棒金Ｂと前後方向の位置を合わせて設けられている。よって、異金種センサ２１６ａは、棒金係止部２２５ａに係止されている棒金Ｂよりも１つ後方の棒金Ｂの異金種を検知する。言い換えると、棒金収納部２１２ａには、異金種センサ２１６ａによって異金種がチェックされる棒金Ｂの前方に、その金種の棒金Ｂを１つ載置できるスペースが設けられている。前部側棒金規制部２３８ａは、棒金載置部２２３ａに載置されている先頭の棒金Ｂが棒金係止部２２５ａに係止されている状態においてその１つ後方となる、先頭から２番目の棒金Ｂの直前となる位置に配置されている。
12, the different denomination sensor 216a is activated when the leading coin roll B placed on the coin roll placing portion 223a is locked by the coin roll locking portion 225a. It is provided in alignment with the second metal roll B from the top, which is located at the rear. Therefore, the different denomination sensor 216a detects the different denomination of the coin roll B that is one behind the coin roll B locked by the coin roll locking portion 225a. In other words, the coin-roll storing section 212a has a space in which one coin-roll B of the denomination can be placed in front of the coin-roll B whose denomination is checked by the different-denomination sensor 216a. . The front-side coin-roll restricting portion 238a is positioned one behind the leading coin-roll B placed on the coin-roll placing portion 223a in a state in which it is locked by the coin-roll locking portion 225a. It is arranged at a position immediately before the second coin roll B from the .
図９に示すように、異金種センサ２１６ａは、後退端位置にある棒金支持部２８８ａと前後方向及び左右方向の位置を合わせて、この棒金支持部２８８ａに配置された棒金Ｂを上下で挟むように配置された一対の外径検出部３０１ａと、この棒金Ｂを左右で挟むように配置された図示略の一対の穴検出部とを有している。棒金支持部２８８ａは、一対の外径検出部３０１ａで棒金Ｂの外径を検出し、穴検出部で棒金Ｂの穴の有無を検出して、棒金Ｂが予め設定された金種であるか異金種であるかを検知する。一対の外径検出部３０１ａは反射型の光学センサであり、それぞれが棒金Ｂとの距離を検出することで棒金Ｂの外径を検出する。穴検出部は透過型の光学センサであり、発光素子の発光を受光素子で受光することによって棒金Ｂに穴があることを検出し、発光素子の発光を受光素子で受光しないことによって棒金Ｂに穴がないことを検出する。
As shown in FIG. 9, the different denomination sensor 216a aligns with the coin roll support portion 288a at the retracted end position in the longitudinal direction and the lateral direction, and detects the coin roll B placed on the coin roll support portion 288a. It has a pair of outer diameter detectors 301a arranged so as to sandwich it vertically, and a pair of hole detectors (not shown) arranged so as to sandwich the metal roll B from left to right. The coin-roll supporting portion 288a detects the outer diameter of the coin-roll B with a pair of outer diameter detection portions 301a, detects the presence or absence of holes in the coin-roll B with a hole detection portion, and detects whether or not the coin-roll B has a preset coin. It detects whether it is a seed or a different denomination. The pair of outer diameter detection units 301a are reflective optical sensors, and detect the outer diameter of the coin roll B by detecting the distance to the coin roll B, respectively. The hole detection unit is a transmission type optical sensor, which detects the presence of a hole in the coin roll B by receiving the light emitted from the light emitting element with the light receiving element, and detecting the hole in the coin roll B by not receiving the light emitted from the light emitting element with the light receiving element. Detect that there is no hole in B.
スライダ２７１ａのセンサ開口部２８７ａは、スライダ２７１ａの前進端位置から後退端位置までのスライド可能な全範囲で、異金種センサ２１６ａの一対の外径検出部３０１ａと前後方向及び左右方向の位置が重なり合う。具体的に、一対の外径検出部３０１ａのうち下側の外径検出部３０１ａが、センサ開口部２８７ａ内に配置されており、センサ開口部２８７ａは、異金種センサ２１６ａの下側の外径検出部３０１ａへのスライダ２７１ａの移動の全範囲での干渉を逃げる。異金種センサ２１６ａの下側の外径検出部３０１ａは、スライダ２７１ａよりも下側に配置されていても良く、この場合、センサ開口部２８７ａは、スライダ２７１ａが前後方向に摺動してどの位置に配置されていても、異金種センサ２１６ａの下側の外径検出部３０１ａと棒金Ｂとの間の光路をスライダ２７１ａが遮ることを防止する。
The sensor opening 287a of the slider 271a is aligned with the pair of outer diameter detecting portions 301a of the different denomination sensor 216a in the front-rear direction and the left-right direction over the entire slidable range from the forward end position to the backward end position of the slider 271a. overlap. Specifically, the lower outer diameter detection portion 301a of the pair of outer diameter detection portions 301a is arranged in the sensor opening portion 287a, and the sensor opening portion 287a is located outside the lower side of the different denomination sensor 216a. This avoids interference in the entire range of movement of the slider 271a to the diameter detection portion 301a. The outer diameter detection portion 301a on the lower side of the different denomination sensor 216a may be arranged below the slider 271a. This prevents the slider 271a from blocking the optical path between the coin roll B and the outer diameter detection part 301a below the different denomination sensor 216a even if it is arranged at the position.
棒金支持部２８８ａは、図１２に示すように前進端位置にあるとき、縦型ベルトコンベア１５１の一対の棒金搬送ベルト１５８の後部にある桟部１７２の上部の棒金収容部１７７と前後方向の位置を重ね合わせることになる。棒金昇降搬送部１２１の後部には、棒金収納部２１２ａのやや上方に図示略の棒金位置検知センサが設けられており、この棒金位置検知センサが棒金Ｂを検知することで、棒金Ｂが棒金搬送ベルト１５８の後部において、棒金収納部２１２ａよりも所定距離上側に位置したことを検知する。この棒金位置検知センサは、発光素子と受光素子とを有する反射型の光学センサであり、発光素子の発光の棒金Ｂによる反射光を受光素子で受光しない状態から受光する状態となり、再び受光しない状態になると、１本の棒金Ｂが棒金収納部２１２ａよりも所定距離上側に位置したことを検知する。
When the coin-roll supporting portion 288a is at the forward end position as shown in FIG. The position of the direction will be superimposed. A coin-roll position detection sensor (not shown) is provided slightly above the coin-roll storage unit 212a at the rear of the coin-roll lifting/lowering transport unit 121. When the coin-roll position detection sensor detects the coin-roll B, It is detected that the coin roll B is located at the rear portion of the coin roll conveying belt 158 above the coin roll storage portion 212a by a predetermined distance. This coin-roll position detection sensor is a reflective optical sensor having a light-emitting element and a light-receiving element. When it is not in the state, it is detected that one coin roll B is positioned above the coin roll storage portion 212a by a predetermined distance.
図５に示すように、後方棒金規制部２１５ａは、一対の側板２１１ａの間に配置されて、これらの後部に取り付けられている。後方棒金規制部２１５ａは、棒金収納部２１２ａの載置面２２１ａの後端部の上方に配置されており、載置面２２１ａに載置された棒金Ｂの後方への移動を規制し、棒金収納部２１２ａから後方への脱落を規制する。即ち、棒金収納部２１２ａは、後方棒金規制部２１５ａよりも前方の範囲が棒金Ｂの収納範囲となっている。
As shown in FIG. 5, the rear coin roll restricting portion 215a is arranged between the pair of side plates 211a and attached to the rear portion thereof. The rear coin-roll restricting portion 215a is arranged above the rear end portion of the mounting surface 221a of the coin-roll storing portion 212a, and restricts the rearward movement of the coin-roll B placed on the mounting surface 221a. , restricts falling backward from the coin roll storing portion 212a. That is, the coin-roll storing portion 212a stores the coin-roll B in a range forward of the rear coin-roll restricting portion 215a.
＜棒金収納部２１２ａから棒金昇降搬送部１２１への棒金Ｂの繰り出し動作＞
棒金収納部２１２ａの棒金Ｂを棒金昇降搬送部１２１の縦型ベルトコンベア１５１に繰り出す場合、図９に示すように、ホームポジションである後退端位置に位置した状態にあるスライダ２７１ａに対し、繰出ベルト機構部２１３ａが、繰出ベルト２５３ａを第１の方向に回転させることで、上辺部２６３ａに位置する突起部２６２ａをスライダ２７１ａの先端棒金規制部２８２ａ側、即ち前方に移動させる。すると、突起部２６２ａが、棒金収納部２１２ａに載置された棒金Ｂのうち最も後側の棒金Ｂに後方から当接してこの棒金Ｂを先端棒金規制部２８２ａ側に押圧する。
<Feeding Operation of Coin Roll B from Coin Roll Storage Unit 212a to Coin Roll Elevating Transport Unit 121>
When the coin roll B in the coin roll storing section 212a is fed out onto the vertical belt conveyor 151 of the coin roll up-and-down transport section 121, as shown in FIG. , the delivery belt mechanism 213a rotates the delivery belt 253a in the first direction, thereby moving the protrusion 262a positioned on the upper side 263a toward the leading end coin bar regulating portion 282a of the slider 271a, that is, forward. Then, the projecting portion 262a abuts the rearmost coin-roll B among the coin-rolls B placed in the coin-roll storing portion 212a from behind, and presses this coin-roll B toward the leading end coin-roll restricting portion 282a. .
すると、スライダ２７１ａの先端棒金規制部２８２ａと突起部２６２ａとの間の棒金Ｂ間の隙間が無くなって、突起部２６２ａが、後退端位置で停止状態にあるスライダ２７１ａの先端棒金規制部２８２ａとの間で棒金収納部２１２ａ上の棒金Ｂを挟持する状態となる。このとき、棒金収納部２１２ａ上の棒金Ｂが移動することがあっても、棒金Ｂは突起部２６２ａに押し付けられた状態で移動するのでほぼ転がらずに滑って移動する。
As a result, the gap between the coin roll regulating portion 282a and the protrusion 262a of the slider 271a disappears, and the protrusion 262a moves to the tip coin roll regulating portion of the slider 271a which is stopped at the backward end position. 282a, the coin roll B on the coin roll storage portion 212a is sandwiched. At this time, even if the coin roll B on the coin roll storage part 212a moves, the coin roll B moves while being pressed against the protrusion 262a, so that it slides without rolling.
このように突起部２６２ａと先端棒金規制部２８２ａとで棒金収納部２１２ａ上の棒金Ｂを挟持する状態になると、このとき、先端棒金規制部２８２ａに当接し棒金支持部２８８ａに配置されている棒金Ｂは、棒金収納部２１２ａ上で最も前方に位置する先頭の棒金Ｂとなる。突起部２６２ａと先端棒金規制部２８２ａとで棒金収納部２１２ａ上の棒金Ｂを挟持する状態になっても、後退端位置にある棒金支持部２８８ａに配置されている先頭の棒金Ｂは、一対の棒金係止部２２５ａから後方に離間している。この状態で、異金種センサ２１６ａが、棒金支持部２８８ａに配置された先頭の棒金Ｂと前後方向の位置が合い、この先頭の棒金Ｂの異金種を検知する。
When the projecting portion 262a and the coin-roll regulating portion 282a sandwich the coin-roll B on the coin-roll storage portion 212a, the coin-roll regulating portion 282a abuts against the coin-roll supporting portion 288a. The placed coin roll B is the frontmost coin roll B located in the coin roll storage section 212a. Even if the projecting portion 262a and the leading coin-roll regulating portion 282a sandwich the coin-roll B on the coin-roll storing portion 212a, the leading coin-roll placed in the coin-roll supporting portion 288a at the rearward end position will be held. B is spaced rearward from the pair of coin-roll locking portions 225a. In this state, the different denomination sensor 216a aligns with the leading coin roll B arranged on the coin roll supporting portion 288a in the longitudinal direction, and detects the different denomination of the leading coin roll B. FIG.
この状態から、図１０に示すように、スライダ機構部２１４ａがスライダ２７１ａを前進端位置まで移動させる。このとき、棒金Ｂは、前部側棒金規制部２３８ａで前方への移動が規制される。スライダ２７１ａの前進端位置までの移動後、図１１に示すように、繰出ベルト機構部２１３ａが、繰出ベルト２５３ａを第１の方向に回転させることで、突起部２６２ａを棒金２本の外径分だけ前方に移動させる。すると、棒金収納部２１２ａに並んでいる全ての棒金Ｂが前進し、前部側棒金規制部２３８ａで移動が規制されていた先頭の棒金Ｂが、前部側棒金規制部２３８ａを乗り越え、更に棒金係止部２２５ａを乗り越え、棒金保持部２８４ａを通り過ぎて、棒金支持部２８８ａに移動して棒金支持部２８８ａに支持される。
From this state, as shown in FIG. 10, the slider mechanism 214a moves the slider 271a to the forward end position. At this time, the coin roll B is restricted from moving forward by the front-side coin roll restricting portion 238a. After the slider 271a has moved to the forward end position, as shown in FIG. 11, the delivery belt mechanism 213a rotates the delivery belt 253a in the first direction, so that the protruding portion 262a extends to the outer diameter of the two metal bars. Move forward by a minute. Then, all the coin rolls B lined up in the coin roll storage section 212a move forward, and the leading coin roll B whose movement was restricted by the front side coin roll restriction section 238a moves forward. , further over the coin-roll locking portion 225a, pass the coin-roll holding portion 284a, move to the coin-roll support portion 288a, and are supported by the coin-roll support portion 288a.
これと共に、それまで棒金収納部２１２ａ上の前から２番目にあった棒金Ｂが、異金種センサ２１６ａを通過することになり、その際に異金種が検知され、その後、前部側棒金規制部２３８ａを乗り越え、棒金収納部２１２ａ上で１番前となり、棒金係止部２２５ａに当接して停止する。この状態で、異金種センサ２１６ａは、棒金収納部２１２ａ上の次に前から２番目となった棒金Ｂ、即ち棒金支持部２８８ａの棒金Ｂから数えて３番目の棒金Ｂと前後方向の位置が合い、この棒金収納部２１２ａ上の次に前から２番目となった棒金Ｂの異金種を検知する。
At the same time, the coin roll B, which was the second from the front on the coin roll storage section 212a until then, passes through the different denomination sensor 216a. It climbs over the side coin-roll restricting portion 238a, becomes the foremost on the coin-roll storing portion 212a, and comes into contact with the coin-roll locking portion 225a to stop. In this state, the different denomination sensor 216a detects the second coin roll B on the coin roll storage section 212a, that is, the third coin roll B counting from the coin roll B in the coin roll support section 288a. , and the different denomination of the coin roll B which is the second from the front on the coin roll storage section 212a is detected.
このようにして、前進端位置に位置する棒金支持部２８８ａに棒金Ｂを１本だけ繰り出すと、図１２に示すように、この棒金支持部２８８ａに配置された棒金Ｂが、棒金昇降搬送部１２１の縦型ベルトコンベア１５１の後部で上昇する桟部１７２の上部の棒金収容部１７７に掬い上げられる。このようにして、棒金収納部２１２ａの棒金Ｂを１本、縦型ベルトコンベア１５１に受け渡す。
In this way, when only one coin roll B is paid out to the coin roll support portion 288a positioned at the forward end position, the coin roll B placed on the coin roll support portion 288a is pulled out as shown in FIG. It is scooped up by the metal roll storage section 177 above the rail section 172 which rises at the rear of the vertical belt conveyor 151 of the metal elevating and transporting section 121 . In this way, one coin roll B in the coin-roll storing section 212 a is delivered to the vertical belt conveyor 151 .
続けて棒金収納部２１２ａの棒金Ｂを縦型ベルトコンベア１５１に繰り出す場合、スライダ２７１ａを前進端位置に位置させた状態のまま、図１１に示すように、繰出ベルト機構部２１３ａが、繰出ベルト２５３ａを第１の方向に回転させることで、突起部２６２ａを更に棒金１本の外径分だけ前方に移動させる。すると、棒金係止部２２５ａで前方への移動が規制されていた、この時点で先頭の棒金Ｂが、棒金係止部２２５ａを乗り越えて棒金支持部２８８ａに移動して棒金支持部２８８ａに支持されることになり、前から２番目の棒金Ｂが、前部側棒金規制部２３８ａを乗り越え、棒金係止部２２５ａに当接して停止し、前から３番目の棒金Ｂが、異金種センサ２１６ａで検知される。このようにして棒金支持部２８８ａに支持された棒金Ｂが、図１２に示すように、縦型ベルトコンベア１５１の後部で上昇する桟部１７２に掬い上げられる。
When the coin roll B stored in the coin-roll storage unit 212a is continuously fed to the vertical belt conveyor 151, the feed-out belt mechanism unit 213a moves the feed-out belt mechanism 213a while the slider 271a is positioned at the forward end position, as shown in FIG. By rotating the belt 253a in the first direction, the protrusion 262a is further moved forward by the outer diameter of one metal bar. At this point, the leading coin roll B, whose forward movement was restricted by the coin roll locking portion 225a, climbs over the coin roll locking portion 225a and moves to the coin roll support portion 288a, where it is supported. Being supported by the portion 288a, the second coin roll B from the front climbs over the front side coin roll restricting portion 238a, contacts the coin roll locking portion 225a and stops, and the third coin roll B from the front Gold B is detected by the different denomination sensor 216a. The coin roll B supported by the coin-roll support portion 288a in this manner is scooped up by the rail portion 172 rising at the rear portion of the vertical belt conveyor 151, as shown in FIG.
このような動作を設定本数分だけ行って、棒金収納部２１２ａの棒金Ｂを設定本数分、１本ずつ縦型ベルトコンベア１５１に繰り出す。その際に、突起部２６２ａを棒金１本の外径分だけ前方に移動させる都度、異金種センサ２１６ａが前後方向の位置が合う棒金Ｂの異金種を検知する。なお、棒金処理装置１０は、何れの状況であっても、異金種センサ２１６ａが異金種の棒金Ｂを検知すると、動作を停止させてアラームを発生させる。
Such an operation is performed for the set number of coins, and the set number of coin rolls B in the coin-roll storing section 212a are delivered to the vertical belt conveyor 151 one by one. At this time, each time the projecting portion 262a is moved forward by the outer diameter of one coin roll, the different denomination sensor 216a detects the different denomination of the coin roll B that matches the position in the front-rear direction. Note that the coin-roll processing apparatus 10 stops operation and generates an alarm when the different denomination sensor 216a detects the different denomination coin-roll B in any situation.
棒金収納部２１２ａの棒金Ｂを縦型ベルトコンベア１５１に設定本数繰り出すと、設定本数の最後の棒金Ｂを縦型ベルトコンベア１５１に繰り出した後、スライダ機構部２１４ａが、図１２に示すように前進端位置にあるスライダ２７１ａを、図９に示すように後退端位置まで移動させることになる。その途中、移動するスライダ２７１ａの先端棒金規制部２８２ａが、突起部２６２ａとの間にある棒金Ｂを突起部２６２ａとで挟持するタイミングで、繰出ベルト機構部２１３ａが、スライダ２７１ａと並行して、繰出ベルト２５３ａを第２の方向に回転させることで、突起部２６２ａを棒金１本の外径分だけ後方に移動させる。
When the set number of coin-rolls B in the coin-roll storage unit 212a is fed out to the vertical belt conveyor 151, the last set number of coin-rolls B is fed out to the vertical belt conveyor 151, and then the slider mechanism unit 214a moves as shown in FIG. Thus, the slider 271a at the forward end position is moved to the backward end position as shown in FIG. On the way, at the timing when the coin roll restricting portion 282a of the moving slider 271a pinches the coin roll B between itself and the projection 262a, the delivery belt mechanism 213a moves parallel to the slider 271a. Then, by rotating the delivery belt 253a in the second direction, the projecting portion 262a is moved rearward by the outer diameter of one metal bar.
すると、後退端位置に向け移動するスライダ２７１ａの先端棒金規制部２８２ａが、先頭で棒金係止部２２５ａに係止されていた棒金Ｂに当接し、突起部２６２ａとの間にある棒金収納部２１２ａ上の棒金Ｂを突起部２６２ａとで挟持した状態となって、この挟持状態のまま、棒金収納部２１２ａ上の棒金Ｂを後方に移動させることになる。このとき、それまで前端で棒金係止部２２５ａに係止されていた棒金Ｂは、前部側棒金規制部２３８ａを乗り越える。このように、棒金Ｂを先端棒金規制部２８２ａと突起部２６２ａとで挟持して挟持状態のまま後方に移動させることで、棒金Ｂの転がりを抑制する。
Then, the leading end of the coin-roll regulating portion 282a of the slider 271a moving toward the backward end position comes into contact with the coin-roll B that has been locked by the coin-roll locking portion 225a at the leading end, and the coin-roll regulating portion 282a between the protrusion 262a and the coin-roll locking portion 225a contacts. The coin roll B on the coin storing section 212a is sandwiched between the protrusions 262a, and the coin roll B on the coin roll storing section 212a is moved backward while maintaining this sandwiched state. At this time, the coin roll B, whose front end has been locked by the coin roll locking portion 225a until then, climbs over the front side coin roll restricting portion 238a. In this manner, the coin roll B is clamped between the leading end coin roll regulating portion 282a and the protrusion 262a and moved backward while being clamped, thereby suppressing rolling of the coin roll B. FIG.
＜棒金昇降搬送部１２１から棒金収納部２１２ａへの棒金Ｂの収納動作＞
棒金昇降搬送部１２１の縦型ベルトコンベア１５１から棒金収納部２１２ａに棒金Ｂを収納する場合、図１３に示すように後退端位置にあるスライダ２７１ａを、スライダ機構部２１４ａが、図１４に示すように前進端位置まで移動させる。すると、棒金支持部２８８ａが、棒金昇降搬送部１２１の縦型ベルトコンベア１５１の後部で下降する桟部１７２の上部の棒金収容部１７７に収容されていた棒金Ｂを、図１５に示すように相対的に掬い上げて支持する。このとき、棒金収納部２１２ａ上の棒金Ｂは、前部側棒金規制部２３８ａで前方への移動が規制されている。
<Storage Operation of Coin Roll B from Coin Roll Elevating and Transporting Unit 121 to Coin Roll Storage Unit 212a>
When the coin roll B is stored in the coin roll storage section 212a from the vertical belt conveyor 151 of the coin roll up-and-down transport section 121, the slider mechanism section 214a moves the slider 271a at the backward end position as shown in FIG. Move to the forward end position as shown in . Then, the coin-roll supporting portion 288a moves the coin-roll B stored in the coin-roll storing portion 177 above the rail portion 172 descending at the rear portion of the vertical belt conveyor 151 of the coin-roll lifting/lowering transport portion 121, as shown in FIG. Scoop up and support relatively as shown. At this time, the coin roll B on the coin-roll storing portion 212a is restricted from moving forward by the front-side coin-roll restricting portion 238a.
この状態から、図１６に示すように、スライダ機構部２１４ａがスライダ２７１ａを後退端位置まで移動させることになる。その途中、移動するスライダ２７１ａの先端棒金規制部２８２ａが、突起部２６２ａとの間の棒金Ｂを突起部２６２ａとで挟持するタイミングで、繰出ベルト機構部２１３ａが、スライダ２７１ａと並行して、繰出ベルト２５３ａを第２の方向に回転させることで、突起部２６２ａを棒金１本の外径分だけ後方に移動させる。
From this state, as shown in FIG. 16, the slider mechanism 214a moves the slider 271a to the retracted end position. On the way, at the timing when the coin roll restricting portion 282a of the moving slider 271a pinches the coin roll B between itself and the protrusion 262a, the feeding belt mechanism 213a moves in parallel with the slider 271a. , and rotates the delivery belt 253a in the second direction to move the projecting portion 262a rearward by the outer diameter of one metal bar.
すると、後退端位置に向け移動するスライダ２７１ａは、棒金支持部２８８ａに配置された棒金Ｂを、先頭で前部側棒金規制部２３８ａに係止されていた棒金Ｂに当接させると共に、先端棒金規制部２８２ａが、突起部２６２ａとの間にある棒金収納部２１２ａ上の棒金Ｂを突起部２６２ａとで挟持した状態となって、この挟持状態のまま棒金収納部２１２ａ上の棒金Ｂを後方に移動させることになる。このとき、スライダ２７１ａの棒金支持部２８８ａに支持されていた棒金Ｂは、棒金支持部２８８ａに配置された状態のまま後方に移動して棒金係止部２２５ａ及び前部側棒金規制部２３８ａを乗り越える。このようにして、棒金支持部２８８ａに配置されていた棒金Ｂを、棒金支持部２８８ａに配置した状態のまま後方に移動させて、棒金係止部２２５ａ及び前部側棒金規制部２３８ａを乗り越えさせ、棒金収納部２１２ａに収納する。このとき、棒金収納部２１２ａ上の棒金Ｂは、突起部２６２ａで移動が１本分に制限されることから、棒金支持部２８８ａに配置されていた棒金Ｂが、棒金支持部２８８ａに配置された状態のまま停止することになり、棒金収納部２１２ａの棒金Ｂが先端棒金規制部２８２ａと突起部２６２ａとで挟持された状態のまま停止することになる。この状態で、異金種センサ２１６ａが棒金支持部２８８ａに配置された棒金Ｂと前後方向の位置が合い、この棒金Ｂの異金種を検知する。このようにして、縦型ベルトコンベア１５１の棒金Ｂを１本だけ棒金支持部２８８ａで受け取って棒金収納部２１２ａに収納する。このように、棒金Ｂを先端棒金規制部２８２ａと突起部２６２ａとで挟持して挟持状態のまま後方に移動させることで、棒金Ｂの転がりを抑制する。
Then, the slider 271a moving toward the rearward end position brings the coin roll B placed on the coin roll support portion 288a into contact with the coin roll B that was locked by the front side coin roll restricting portion 238a at the front. At the same time, the tip coin-roll regulating portion 282a sandwiches the coin-roll B on the coin-roll storage portion 212a between the projection portion 262a and the protrusion portion 262a. The coin roll B on 212a is moved backward. At this time, the coin roll B supported by the coin roll support portion 288a of the slider 271a moves rearward while being placed on the coin roll support portion 288a, and moves to the coin roll locking portion 225a and the front side coin roll locking portion 225a. Get over the restricting portion 238a. In this way, the coin roll B arranged on the coin roll support portion 288a is moved rearward while being arranged on the coin roll support portion 288a, and the coin roll locking portion 225a and the front side coin roll regulating portion 225a are moved backward. It is made to climb over the portion 238a and stored in the coin roll storage portion 212a. At this time, since the movement of the coin roll B on the coin-roll storage portion 212a is limited to one by the protrusion 262a, the coin-roll B placed in the coin-roll support portion 288a is moved to the coin-roll support portion 288a. 288a, and the coin roll B in the coin roll storage section 212a is stopped while being held between the tip coin roll restricting section 282a and the protrusion 262a. In this state, the different denomination sensor 216a is aligned with the coin roll B arranged on the coin roll support portion 288a in the longitudinal direction, and the different denomination of this coin roll B is detected. In this manner, only one coin roll B on the vertical belt conveyor 151 is received by the coin roll support portion 288a and stored in the coin roll storage portion 212a. In this manner, the coin roll B is clamped between the leading end coin roll regulating portion 282a and the protrusion 262a and moved backward while being clamped, thereby suppressing rolling of the coin roll B. FIG.
続けて縦型ベルトコンベア１５１の棒金Ｂを棒金収納部２１２ａに収納する場合、図１４に示すように、スライダ機構部２１４ａがスライダ２７１ａを前進端位置まで移動させる。すると、図１５に示すように、縦型ベルトコンベア１５１の後部で下降する桟部１７２の棒金Ｂを棒金支持部２８８ａが相対的に掬い上げて支持する。その後、図１６に示すように、スライダ２７１ａを後退端位置まで移動させることになり、その途中、移動するスライダ２７１ａの先端棒金規制部２８２ａが、突起部２６２ａとの間にある棒金Ｂを突起部２６２ａとで挟持するタイミングで、繰出ベルト２５３ａが突起部２６２ａを棒金１本の外径分だけ後方に移動させることにより、先端棒金規制部２８２ａと突起部２６２ａとで、これらの間にある棒金Ｂを挟持して挟持状態のまま後方に移動させる。このようにして、スライダ２７１ａの棒金支持部２８８ａに配置された棒金Ｂを、棒金支持部２８８ａに配置した状態のまま棒金収納部２１２ａに収納し、異金種センサ２１６ａで異金種を検知する。
When the coin roll B of the vertical belt conveyor 151 is subsequently stored in the coin roll storage section 212a, as shown in FIG. 14, the slider mechanism section 214a moves the slider 271a to the forward end position. Then, as shown in FIG. 15, the coin-roll supporting portion 288a relatively scoops up and supports the coin-roll B on the rail portion 172 that descends at the rear portion of the vertical belt conveyor 151 . After that, as shown in FIG. 16, the slider 271a is moved to the retracted end position. At the timing of sandwiching with the protrusion 262a, the delivery belt 253a moves the protrusion 262a rearward by the outer diameter of one metal roll, so that the leading end metal roll regulating portion 282a and the protrusion 262a move between them. A coin roll B is clamped and moved backward while being clamped. In this way, the coin roll B placed on the coin roll support portion 288a of the slider 271a is stored in the coin roll storage portion 212a in the state of being placed on the coin roll support portion 288a. Detect seeds.
このような動作を設定本数分だけ行って、棒金収納部２１２ａに設定本数分の棒金Ｂを、１本ずつ縦型ベルトコンベア１５１から収納する。その際に、スライダ２７１ａを後退端位置まで移動させる都度、異金種センサ２１６ａが前後方向の位置が合う棒金Ｂの異金種を検知する。
Such an operation is performed for the set number of coins, and the set number of coin rolls B are stored one by one from the vertical belt conveyor 151 in the coin-roll storing portion 212a. At this time, each time the slider 271a is moved to the backward end position, the different denomination sensor 216a detects the different denomination of the coin roll B that matches the position in the front-rear direction.
以上により、スライダ２７１ａは、前方（一方）にスライドして棒金収納部２１２ａから突出した棒金支持部２８８ａに棒金Ｂを配置可能であり、棒金収納部２１２ａに設けられた繰出ベルト２５３ａの上辺部２６３ａに位置する突起部２６２ａが、前方（一方）に移動して棒金収納部２１２ａの棒金Ｂをスライダ２７１ａの棒金収納部２１２ａから突出した棒金支持部２８８ａに供給する。また、スライダ２７１ａは、棒金収納部２１２ａから突出した棒金支持部２８８ａに配置された棒金Ｂを後方（他方）にスライドして棒金収納部２１２ａに収納可能となっている。言い換えれば、スライダ２７１ａは、前方に突出することで、繰出ベルト２５３ａで前方に押し出された棒金Ｂを棒金保持部２８４ａと先端棒金規制部２８２ａとで保持し、また、この棒金Ｂを棒金昇降搬送部１２１の縦型ベルトコンベア１５１の桟部１７２に受け渡すことができる。更に、その反対に、桟部１７２によって搬送されてきた棒金Ｂを受け取り、棒金保持部２８４ａと先端棒金規制部２８２ａとで保持しつつ、後方に戻すことで、その棒金Ｂを棒金収納部２１２ａに収納することができる。
As described above, the slider 271a slides forward (to one side) to place the coin roll B on the coin roll support portion 288a projecting from the coin roll storage portion 212a. The protrusion 262a positioned on the upper side 263a of the slide 271a moves forward (to one side) to supply the coin roll B of the coin roll storage section 212a to the coin roll support section 288a projecting from the coin roll storage section 212a of the slider 271a. Further, the slider 271a can slide backward (on the other side) the coin roll B arranged on the coin roll support portion 288a projecting from the coin roll storage portion 212a to store it in the coin roll storage portion 212a. In other words, the slider 271a protrudes forward to hold the coin roll B pushed forward by the feeding belt 253a with the coin roll holding portion 284a and the tip coin roll regulating portion 282a. can be delivered to the crosspiece 172 of the vertical belt conveyor 151 of the coin roll lifting/lowering transport unit 121 . Furthermore, on the contrary, the coin roll B conveyed by the cross section 172 is received, and while being held by the coin roll holding portion 284a and the tip coin roll regulating portion 282a, the coin roll B is returned to the rear. It can be stored in the money storage part 212a.
「棒金収納部２１２ａから棒金出金部１２３への棒金Ｂの出金動作」
図１７の太線は、棒金収納繰出部１０２から棒金出金部１２３への出金処理の棒金Ｂの搬送ルートである。この搬送ルートは、棒金昇降搬送部１２１の最上部の上部搬送空間１８６を経由する上ルートとなっている。
"Payment operation of coin roll B from coin roll storage unit 212a to coin roll withdrawal unit 123"
The thick line in FIG. 17 indicates the transport route of the coin roll B in the withdrawal process from the coin-roll storing and feeding section 102 to the coin-roll dispensing section 123 . This conveying route is an upper route passing through the upper conveying space 186 at the top of the coin roll lifting and conveying section 121 .
（１）図１７に太線で示すルートで、棒金収納部２１２ａから棒金出金部１２３へ棒金Ｂを出金する場合には、図９に示すように、スライダ２７１ａを後退端位置に位置させた状態で、先ず、繰出ベルト２５３ａを第１の方向に回転させて突起部２６２ａで棒金収納部２１２ａ上の後端の棒金Ｂを前方に押圧し、棒金収納部２１２ａ上の棒金Ｂを前方に移動させて、スライダ２７１ａの先端棒金規制部２８２ａと突起部２６２ａとの間の棒金Ｂ間の隙間を無くす。その後、異金種センサ２１６ａにより先頭の棒金Ｂの異金種をチェックする。更に、図１７に示す出金部ゲート１３２を開作動させて、出金部導入口１３１を開くと共に、出金部ゲート１３２を棒金昇降搬送部１２１の上部搬送空間１８６と前部搬送空間１８７との間に突出させる。
(1) When the coin roll B is dispensed from the coin roll storing section 212a to the coin roll dispensing section 123 along the route indicated by the thick line in FIG. In this position, first, the delivery belt 253a is rotated in the first direction, and the protrusion 262a presses forward the coin roll B at the rear end of the coin roll storage section 212a, thereby pushing the coin roll B on the coin roll storage section 212a. The coin roll B is moved forward to eliminate the gap between the tip coin roll restricting portion 282a of the slider 271a and the projecting portion 262a. After that, a different denomination sensor 216a is used to check for a different denomination of the leading coin roll B. FIG. 17 is operated to open the dispensing section introduction port 131, and the dispensing section gate 132 is moved between the upper transport space 186 and the front transport space 187 of the coin roll up-and-down transport section 121. protrude between
（２）次いで、図１０に示すように、スライダ２７１ａを前進端位置まで前方にスライドさせる。すると、スライダ２７１ａは、その先端部の棒金支持部２８８ａが一対の棒金搬送ベルト１５８の桟部１７２間に配置される。このとき、棒金収納部２１２ａ上の棒金Ｂは、前部側棒金規制部２３８ａで前方への移動が規制されている。
(2) Next, as shown in FIG. 10, the slider 271a is slid forward to the forward end position. Then, the slider 271 a is placed between the crosspieces 172 of the pair of coin-roll conveying belts 158 with the coin-roll supporting portion 288 a at the tip thereof. At this time, the coin roll B on the coin-roll storing portion 212a is restricted from moving forward by the front-side coin-roll restricting portion 238a.

(2D) In addition to the above methods (1C) and (2C), or instead of the above methods (1C) and (2C), the moving distance (moving pulse number) of the protrusion 262a of the delivery belt 253a Based on this, it is also possible to calculate the remaining number of coin rolls B in the coin-roll storing section 212a. That is, as shown in FIG. 21, the belt drive motor of the belt drive section (not shown) moves the protrusion 262a when the coin roll storage section 212a is filled with the coin rolls B to the slider at the retracted end position. From the number of pulses L1 required to move the leading end of 271a to the coin roll restricting portion 282a, the projecting portion 262a when the coin roll B is full in the coin roll storage portion 212a is moved into the coin roll storage portion 212a. The pulse number L2 required to move the housed coin roll B to the position where it is clamped between the leading end coin roll regulating portion 282a of the slider 271a at the backward end position is subtracted, and this value is used as one coin roll. is divided by the number of pulses corresponding to the outer diameter of the coin-roll storing portion 212a to calculate the remaining number of coin-rolls B in the coin-roll storing portion 212a.
「棒金収納部２１２ａの棒金Ｂの入れ替え動作」
棒金収納部２１２ａは、前方から入金して前方から出金するため、後方に収納されている棒金Ｂは、長期間出金されずに棒金収納部２１２ａに収納され続けることがある。このため、定期的に前後を入れ替える入れ替え動作を行う。
"Replacement operation of coin roll B in coin roll storage unit 212a"
Since the coin-roll storage unit 212a deposits money from the front and withdraws money from the front, the coin-roll B stored in the rear may continue to be stored in the coin-roll storage unit 212a for a long period of time without being dispensed. For this reason, a replacement operation is periodically performed to replace the front and back.
（１Ｅ）図２０に示すように、棒金収納部２１２ａ内の棒金Ｂを全て、出金動作と同様にして、後部が上昇するように第１の方向に回転する棒金搬送ベルト１５８に繰り出し、棒金収納部２１２ａ内を空にする。
(1E) As shown in FIG. 20, all the coin rolls B in the coin roll storage section 212a are transferred to the coin roll conveying belt 158 that rotates in the first direction so that the rear portion rises in the same manner as in the withdrawal operation. It is drawn out to empty the inside of the coin roll storing section 212a.
（２Ｅ）次いで、棒金搬送ベルト１５８の棒金Ｂを第１の方向に回転する棒金搬送ベルトで１周させて、第１の方向に回転する棒金搬送ベルト１５８の搬送で、搬送方向先頭の１本の棒金Ｂが棒金収納部２１２ａを通り過ぎた後、第２の方向に棒金搬送ベルト１５８を回転させて、入金動作と同様に、棒金収納部２１２ａに、この１本の棒金Ｂを戻す。この動作を、第１の方向に回転する際の棒金搬送ベルト１５８の搬送方向先端側の棒金Ｂから順に１本ずつに対し行って、棒金搬送ベルト１５８の棒金Ｂを全て棒金収納部２１２ａに戻す。
(2E) Next, the coin-roll conveyor belt 158 rotating in the first direction rotates the coin-roll B of the coin-roll conveyor belt 158 once. After the leading coin roll B has passed the coin roll storage section 212a, the coin roll conveying belt 158 is rotated in the second direction, and this one roll is placed in the coin roll storage section 212a in the same manner as the deposit operation. Return the coin roll B of . This operation is performed for each of the coin rolls B on the coin-roll conveying belt 158 one by one, starting from the leading end in the conveying direction of the coin-roll conveying belt 158 when rotating in the first direction. It is returned to the storage section 212a.
すると、入れ替え動作前に棒金収納部２１２ａ内で前方にあった棒金Ｂが、入れ替え動作後に後方に収納され、入れ替え動作前に後方にあった棒金Ｂが前方に収納されて、前後が入れ替わる。
Then, the coin roll B that was at the front in the coin-roll storing section 212a before the switching operation is stored at the rear after the switching operation, and the coin roll B that was at the rear before the switching operation is stored at the front. replaced.
以上のようにして、棒金昇降搬送部１２１、棒金位置検知センサ、棒金収納部２１２ａ、繰出ベルト機構部２１３ａ、スライダ機構部２１４ａ及び異金種センサ２１６ａ等を用いて棒金収納部２１２ａの棒金Ｂを入れ替える。なお、この際、戻された棒金Ｂを順次異金種センサ２１６ａで異金種チェックすると共に戻された棒金Ｂの本数を計数し、自己精査を行うようにしても良い。これにより、入れ替え動作と自己精査動作を同時に行うことができる。つまり、自己精査動作のついでに入れ替え動作をすることができ、その反対に、入れ替え動作のついでに自己精査動作をすることができる。
As described above, the coin roll storage section 212a is operated using the coin roll lifting/lowering transport section 121, the coin roll position detection sensor, the coin roll storage section 212a, the feeding belt mechanism section 213a, the slider mechanism section 214a, the different denomination sensor 216a, and the like. Replace the gold roll B of . At this time, the different denomination sensor 216a may sequentially check the returned coin rolls B for different denominations, and the number of returned coin rolls B may be counted for self-examination. Thereby, the replacement operation and the self-examination operation can be performed at the same time. In other words, the self-examination operation can be followed by the replacement operation, and vice versa.
｛収納繰出本体部３１１ｂ｝
図６に示すように、２段型棒金収納モジュール２０１において、棒金収納部２１２ｂと、繰出ベルト機構部２１３ａと、スライダ機構部２１４ｂと、後方棒金規制部２１５ｂと、異金種センサ２１６ｂとが、単一金種の棒金Ｂを繰り出し可能に複数収納する単位構成となる収納繰出本体部３１１ｂとなっている。
{Accommodation and delivery main body portion 311b}
As shown in FIG. 6, in the two-stage coin-roll storing module 201, a coin-roll storing portion 212b, a delivery belt mechanism portion 213a, a slider mechanism portion 214b, a rear coin-roll restricting portion 215b, and a different denomination sensor 216b. 311b is a storage and delivery main body portion 311b which is a unit configuration for storing a plurality of coin rolls B of a single denomination so as to be delivered.
棒金収納部２１２ｂは、棒金収納部２１２ａに対し、上側ベルト収容凹部２３１ａ、下側ベルト収容凹部２３２ａ及びプーリ配置切欠部２３６ａに対応する構成が設けられていない点が相違しており、それ以外は棒金収納部２１２ａと同様になっている。棒金昇降搬送部１２１の後部の棒金収納部２１２ｂよりもやや上方には、棒金Ｂが棒金昇降搬送部１２１の後部において、棒金収納部２１２ｂよりも所定距離上側に位置したことを検知する図示略の棒金位置検知センサが設けられている。
The coin-roll storing portion 212b differs from the coin-roll storing portion 212a in that there is no configuration corresponding to the upper belt storing recess 231a, the lower belt storing recess 232a, and the pulley arrangement notch 236a. Other than that, it is the same as the coin roll storage section 212a. At a position slightly above the coin-roll storing portion 212b at the rear of the coin-roll elevating/transporting portion 121, it is indicated that the coin-roll B is positioned above the coin-roll storing portion 212b at the rear portion of the coin-roll elevating/transporting portion 121 by a predetermined distance. A coin roll position detection sensor (not shown) for detecting is provided.
棒金収納部２１２ｂは、棒金Ｂを収納可能であり、棒金収納部２１２ａの棒金Ｂが載置される上面側とは反対側の下面側に設けられ、棒金収納部２１２ａと同様に棒金Ｂを収納可能となっている。図５に示すように、棒金収納部２１２ａ及び棒金収納部２１２ｂは、前後方向及び左右方向の位置を重ね合わせて上下に離間し、この状態で一対の側板２１１ａ間に取り付けられている。
The coin-roll storing portion 212b can store the coin-roll B, and is provided on the lower surface side opposite to the upper surface side of the coin-roll storing portion 212a where the coin-roll B is placed, and is similar to the coin-roll storing portion 212a. The coin roll B can be stored in the . As shown in FIG. 5, the coin-roll storing portion 212a and the coin-roll storing portion 212b overlap each other in the front-rear direction and the left-right direction and are separated vertically, and in this state, are attached between the pair of side plates 211a.
図６に示すように、繰出ベルト機構部２１３ａは、図示略のベルト駆動部が、繰出ベルト２５３ａを、棒金収納部２１２ａの棒金Ｂを前方に押す第１の方向とは逆の第２の方向に回転させて、棒金収納部２１２ｂの棒金載置部２２３ｂに載置された棒金Ｂのうち最も後側の棒金Ｂを繰出ベルト２５３ａの下辺部２６４ａに位置する突起部２６２ａでスライダ２７１ｂ（進退スライダ，下段スライダ）の先端棒金規制部２８２ｂ側、即ち前方に押圧する。この際にも、棒金Ｂは、突起部２６２ａに押し付けられた状態で移動するのでほぼ転がらずに滑って移動する。
As shown in FIG. 6, the pay-out belt mechanism 213a has a belt drive unit (not shown) that pushes the pay-out belt 253a forward in the second direction opposite to the first direction, which pushes the coin rolls B in the coin-roll storage unit 212a. , and the rearmost coin-roll B among the coin-rolls B placed on the coin-roll placing portion 223b of the coin-roll storing portion 212b is moved to the protrusion 262a located on the lower side portion 264a of the feeding belt 253a. , the front end of the slider 271b (advance/retreat slider, lower slider) is pressed toward the bar regulating portion 282b, that is, forward. Also at this time, the coin roll B moves while being pressed against the projecting portion 262a, so that it slides without rolling.
スライダ２７１ｂは、棒金収納部２１２ｂにスライド可能に設けられ、スライダ２７１ａと同様、前方（一方）にスライドして棒金収納部２１２ｂから突出する前進端位置に位置する。スライダ２７１ｂは、前進端位置に位置する棒金支持部２８８ｂ（下段支持部）に棒金Ｂを配置可能となっている。即ち、棒金収納部２１２ａに設けられた一対の繰出ベルト２５３ａの下辺部２６４ａに位置する突起部２６２ａが、棒金収納部２１２ｂの棒金Ｂを前方に押圧することにより、前進端位置に位置するスライダ２７１ｂの棒金支持部２８８ｂに棒金Ｂを供給する。
The slider 271b is slidably provided in the coin-roll storing portion 212b, and is located at the forward end position where it slides forward (one side) and protrudes from the coin-roll storing portion 212b like the slider 271a. The slider 271b can place the coin roll B on the coin roll support portion 288b (lower stage support portion) positioned at the forward end position. That is, the protrusions 262a positioned at the lower side portions 264a of the pair of delivery belts 253a provided in the coin-roll storing portion 212a push forward the coin-roll B of the coin-roll storing portion 212b, thereby moving the coin-roll storing portion 212b to the forward end position. The coin roll B is supplied to the coin roll support portion 288b of the slider 271b.
スライダ２７１ｂは、後退端位置に位置するとき、棒金支持部２８８ｂが、後退端位置に位置するスライダ２７１ａの棒金支持部２８８ａと前後方向及び左右方向の位置を合わせることになる。また、スライダ２７１ｂは、前進端位置に位置するときも、棒金支持部２８８ｂが、前進端位置に位置するスライダ２７１ａの棒金支持部２８８ａと前後方向及び左右方向の位置を合わせることになる。スライダ２７１ｂは、前進端位置に位置するとき、棒金支持部２８８ｂが棒金収納部２１２ｂよりも前方に突出する。
When the slider 271b is positioned at the rearward end position, the coin roll supporting portion 288b is aligned with the coin roll supporting portion 288a of the slider 271a positioned at the rearward end position in the front-rear direction and the left-right direction. Further, even when the slider 271b is positioned at the forward end position, the coin roll support portion 288b is aligned with the coin roll support portion 288a of the slider 271a positioned at the forward end position in the front-rear direction and the left-right direction. When the slider 271b is positioned at the forward end position, the coin-roll supporting portion 288b protrudes forward from the coin-roll storing portion 212b.
＜棒金収納部２１２ｂから棒金昇降搬送部１２１への棒金Ｂの繰り出し動作＞
棒金収納部２１２ｂの棒金Ｂを棒金昇降搬送部１２１の縦型ベルトコンベア１５１に繰り出す場合、スライダ２７１ｂを後退端位置に位置させた状態で、繰出ベルト２５３ａが、下辺部２６４ａに位置する突起部２６２ａで、棒金収納部２１２ｂに載置された棒金Ｂのうち最も後側の棒金Ｂを前方に押す。すると、スライダ２７１ｂの先端棒金規制部２８２ｂと突起部２６２ａとの間の棒金Ｂ間の隙間が無くなって、突起部２６２ａが先端棒金規制部２８２ｂとの間で棒金収納部２１２ｂ上の棒金Ｂを挟持する状態となる。この状態で、先端棒金規制部２８２ｂに当接し棒金支持部２８８ｂに配置されている先頭の棒金Ｂの異金種を、異金種センサ２１６ｂが検知する。
<Feeding Operation of Coin Roll B from Coin Roll Storage Unit 212b to Coin Roll Elevating/Transporting Unit 121>
When the coin-roll B in the coin-roll storing section 212b is fed out onto the vertical belt conveyor 151 in the coin-roll lifting and conveying section 121, the feeding belt 253a is positioned at the lower side portion 264a with the slider 271b positioned at the rear end position. The protrusion 262a pushes forward the rearmost coin roll B among the coin rolls B placed in the coin roll storage section 212b. As a result, the gap between the coin-roll restricting portion 282b of the slider 271b and the protrusion 262a disappears, and the protrusion 262a and the coin-roll restricting portion 282b are positioned above the coin-roll storing portion 212b. It will be in a state where the coin roll B is sandwiched. In this state, the different denomination sensor 216b detects the different denomination of the leading coin roll B that abuts against the tip coin roll restricting portion 282b and is placed on the coin roll support portion 288b.
この状態から、スライダ２７１ｂを前進端位置まで移動させる。このとき、棒金収納部２１２ｂ上の棒金Ｂは、前部側棒金規制部２３８ｂで前方への移動が規制されている。スライダ２７１ｂの前進端位置までの移動後、繰出ベルト２５３ａが突起部２６２ａを棒金２本の外径分だけ前方に移動させると、棒金収納部２１２ｂに並んでいる全ての棒金Ｂが前進し、前部側棒金規制部２３８ｂで移動が規制されていた先頭の棒金Ｂが、前部側棒金規制部２３８ｂを乗り越え、更に棒金係止部２２５ｂを乗り越え、棒金保持部２８４ｂを通り過ぎて、棒金支持部２８８ｂに移動して棒金支持部２８８ｂに支持される。
From this state, the slider 271b is moved to the forward end position. At this time, the coin roll B on the coin roll storing section 212b is restricted from moving forward by the front side coin roll restricting section 238b. After the slider 271b has moved to the forward end position, the delivery belt 253a moves the projecting portion 262a forward by the outer diameter of the two coin-rolls, and all the coin-rolls B lined up in the coin-roll storing portion 212b move forward. Then, the leading coin roll B, whose movement is restricted by the front side coin roll restricting portion 238b, climbs over the front side coin roll restricting portion 238b, further overcomes the coin roll locking portion 225b, and reaches the coin roll holding portion 284b. , and moves to the coin-roll supporting portion 288b to be supported by the coin-roll supporting portion 288b.
これと共に、それまで棒金収納部２１２ｂ上の前から２番目にあった棒金Ｂが、異金種センサ２１６ｂを通過することになり、その際に異金種が検知された後、前部側棒金規制部２３８ｂを乗り越え、棒金収納部２１２ｂ上で１番前となり、棒金係止部２２５ｂに当接して停止する。この状態で、異金種センサ２１６ｂは、棒金収納部２１２ｂ上の次に前から２番目となった棒金Ｂ、即ち棒金支持部２８８ｂの棒金Ｂから数えて３番目の棒金Ｂと前後方向の位置が合い、この棒金収納部２１２ｂ上の次に前から２番目となった棒金Ｂの異金種を検知する。
At the same time, the coin roll B, which was the second from the front in the coin roll storage section 212b until then, passes through the different denomination sensor 216b. It climbs over the side coin-roll restricting portion 238b, becomes the foremost on the coin-roll storing portion 212b, and comes into contact with the coin-roll locking portion 225b to stop. In this state, the different denomination sensor 216b detects the second coin roll B on the coin roll storage section 212b. , and the different denomination of coin roll B which is the second from the front on the coin roll storing section 212b is detected.
この状態で、前進端位置にある棒金支持部２８８ｂに配置された棒金Ｂが、棒金昇降搬送部１２１の縦型ベルトコンベア１５１の後部で上昇する桟部１７２に掬い上げられる。このようにして、棒金収納部２１２ｂの棒金Ｂを縦型ベルトコンベア１５１に繰り出す。
In this state, the coin roll B placed on the coin roll support portion 288b at the forward end position is scooped up by the rail portion 172 that rises at the rear portion of the vertical belt conveyor 151 of the coin roll elevating/conveying portion 121 . In this way, the coin roll B in the coin-roll storing section 212b is delivered to the vertical belt conveyor 151. As shown in FIG.
続けて棒金収納部２１２ｂの棒金Ｂを縦型ベルトコンベア１５１に繰り出す場合、繰出ベルト２５３ａが突起部２６２ａを更に棒金１本の外径分だけ前方に移動させる。すると、棒金係止部２２５ｂで前方への移動が規制されていた次の先頭の棒金Ｂが、棒金係止部２２５ｂを乗り越えて前進端位置にある棒金支持部２８８ｂに移動して棒金支持部２８８ｂに支持される。この棒金支持部２８８ｂに支持された棒金Ｂが、縦型ベルトコンベア１５１の後部で上昇する桟部１７２に掬い上げられる。このような動作を設定本数分だけ行って、異金種センサ２１６ｂで異金種が検知された後の棒金収納部２１２ｂの棒金Ｂを、設定本数分、１本ずつ縦型ベルトコンベア１５１に繰り出す。
When the coin-roll B in the coin-roll storing portion 212b is continuously fed to the vertical belt conveyor 151, the feeding belt 253a further moves the projecting portion 262a forward by the outer diameter of one coin-roll. Then, the next leading coin roll B, whose forward movement is restricted by the coin roll locking portion 225b, moves over the coin roll locking portion 225b to the coin roll support portion 288b at the forward end position. It is supported by the coin-roll supporting portion 288b. The coin roll B supported by the coin-roll support portion 288b is scooped up by the rail portion 172 rising at the rear portion of the vertical belt conveyor 151 . Such an operation is performed for the set number of coins, and after the different denomination sensor 216b detects a different denomination, the coin rolls B in the coin-roll storage unit 212b are transferred one by one to the set number of coins by the vertical belt conveyor 151. send out to
棒金収納部２１２ｂの棒金Ｂを設定本数繰り出すと、設定本数の最後の棒金Ｂを縦型ベルトコンベア１５１に繰り出した後、スライダ２７１ｂを後退端位置まで移動させることになる。その途中、移動するスライダ２７１ｂの先端棒金規制部２８２ｂが、突起部２６２ａとの間にある棒金Ｂを突起部２６２ａとで挟持するタイミングで、繰出ベルト２５３ａが突起部２６２ａを棒金１本の外径分だけ後方に移動させる。すると、スライダ２７１ｂが、移動途中から、先端棒金規制部２８２ｂと突起部２６２ａとの間の棒金Ｂを、先端棒金規制部２８２ｂと突起部２６２ａとで挟持して挟持状態のまま後方に移動させる。このように、棒金Ｂを先端棒金規制部２８２ｂと突起部２６２ａとで挟持して挟持状態のまま後方に移動させることで、棒金Ｂの転がりを抑制する。
When the set number of coin rolls B are drawn out from the coin-roll storing portion 212b, the last set number of coin-rolls B is drawn out to the vertical belt conveyor 151, and then the slider 271b is moved to the backward end position. On the way, the coin roll restricting portion 282b of the moving slider 271b clamps the coin roll B between itself and the protrusion 262a, and the feeding belt 253a moves the protrusion 262a to one coin roll. rearward by the outer diameter of the Then, while the slider 271b is moving, the coin roll B between the tip coin-roll restricting portion 282b and the protrusion 262a is sandwiched between the tip coin-roll restricting portion 282b and the protrusion 262a, and moves backward while being clamped. move. In this manner, the coin roll B is clamped between the leading end coin roll restricting portion 282b and the protrusion 262a and moved rearward while being clamped, thereby suppressing the rolling of the coin roll B. FIG.
＜棒金昇降搬送部１２１から棒金収納部２１２ｂへの棒金Ｂの収納動作＞
棒金昇降搬送部１２１の縦型ベルトコンベア１５１から棒金収納部２１２ｂに棒金Ｂを収納する場合、後退端位置にあるスライダ２７１ｂを前進端位置まで移動させる。すると、スライダ２７１ｂの棒金支持部２８８ｂが、棒金昇降搬送部１２１の縦型ベルトコンベア１５１の後部で下降する桟部１７２の上部の棒金収容部１７７に収容されている棒金Ｂを相対的に掬い上げて支持する。このとき、棒金収納部２１２ｂ上の棒金Ｂは、前部側棒金規制部２３８ｂで前方への移動が規制されている。
<Storage Operation of Coin Roll B from Coin Roll Elevating and Transporting Unit 121 to Coin Roll Storage Unit 212b>
When storing the coin roll B from the vertical belt conveyor 151 of the coin roll up-and-down transport section 121 to the coin roll storage section 212b, the slider 271b at the backward end position is moved to the forward end position. Then, the coin-roll supporting portion 288b of the slider 271b moves the coin-roll B housed in the coin-roll housing portion 177 above the rail portion 172 descending at the rear portion of the vertical belt conveyor 151 of the coin-roll elevating and conveying portion 121. Scoop it up and support it. At this time, the coin roll B on the coin roll storing section 212b is restricted from moving forward by the front side coin roll restricting section 238b.
この状態から、スライダ２７１ｂを後退端位置まで移動させることになる。その途中、移動するスライダ２７１ｂの先端棒金規制部２８２ｂが、突起部２６２ａとの間にある棒金Ｂを突起部２６２ａとで挟持するタイミングで、繰出ベルト２５３ａが突起部２６２ａを棒金１本の外径分だけ後方に移動させる。すると、スライダ２７１ｂが棒金Ｂを棒金支持部２８８ｂに配置した状態のまま後退端位置に移動することになり、しかも、その途中から、この棒金Ｂを含む先端棒金規制部２８２ｂと突起部２６２ａとの間の棒金Ｂを、先端棒金規制部２８２ｂと突起部２６２ａとで挟持して挟持状態のまま後方に移動させる。そして、この挟持状態のまま、異金種センサ２１６ｂが、後退端位置にある棒金支持部２８８ｂに配置されている棒金Ｂの異金種を検知する。このように棒金Ｂを先端棒金規制部２８２ｂと突起部２６２ａとで挟持して挟持状態のまま後方に移動させることで、棒金Ｂの転がりを抑制する。
From this state, the slider 271b is moved to the retracted end position. On the way, the coin roll restricting portion 282b of the moving slider 271b clamps the coin roll B between itself and the protrusion 262a, and the feeding belt 253a moves the protrusion 262a to one coin roll. rearward by the outer diameter of the Then, the slider 271b moves to the retracted end position with the coin roll B placed on the coin roll support portion 288b. The coin roll B between the portion 262a is clamped between the leading end coin-roll restricting portion 282b and the projecting portion 262a, and is moved backward while being clamped. Then, in this holding state, the different denomination sensor 216b detects the different denomination of the coin roll B placed on the coin roll support portion 288b at the retracted end position. In this way, the coin roll B is clamped between the leading end coin roll restricting portion 282b and the protrusion 262a and moved backward while being clamped, thereby suppressing the rolling of the coin roll B. FIG.
続けて縦型ベルトコンベア１５１の棒金Ｂを棒金収納部２１２ｂに収納する場合、スライダ２７１ｂを前進端位置まで移動させ、縦型ベルトコンベア１５１の後部で下降する桟部１７２の棒金Ｂを棒金支持部２８８ｂで相対的に掬い上げて支持する。その後、スライダ２７１ｂを後退端位置まで移動させることになる。その途中、移動するスライダ２７１ｂの先端棒金規制部２８２ｂが、突起部２６２ａとの間にある棒金Ｂを突起部２６２ａとで挟持するタイミングで、突起部２６２ａを棒金１本の外径分だけ後方に移動させる。すると、スライダ２７１ｂが後退端位置に位置して、棒金支持部２８８ｂに配置されていた棒金Ｂを棒金収納部２１２ｂに収納することになり、しかも、その途中から、この棒金Ｂを含む先端棒金規制部２８２ｂと突起部２６２ａとの間の棒金Ｂを、先端棒金規制部２８２ｂと突起部２６２ａとで挟持して挟持状態のまま後方に移動させる。このようにして、棒金Ｂを１本ずつ縦型ベルトコンベア１５１から棒金支持部２８８ｂで受け取って棒金収納部２１２ｂに収納し異金種センサ２１６ｂで異金種を検知する。
When the coin roll B of the vertical belt conveyor 151 is subsequently stored in the coin roll storage section 212b, the slider 271b is moved to the forward end position, and the coin roll B of the cross section 172 descending at the rear of the vertical belt conveyor 151 is moved. The coin-roll supporting portion 288b relatively scoops up and supports. After that, the slider 271b is moved to the retracted end position. On the way, at the timing when the tip of the moving slider 271b clamps the coin roll B between itself and the protrusion 262a with the protrusion 262a, the protrusion 262a is moved by the outer diameter of one metal roll. only move backwards. Then, the slider 271b is positioned at the retracted end position, and the coin roll B placed in the coin roll support portion 288b is stored in the coin roll storage portion 212b. The coin roll B between the leading end coin-roll restricting portion 282b and the projecting portion 262a is clamped between the tip coin-roll restricting portion 282b and the projecting portion 262a, and moved backward while being clamped.

It has a storage connection portion 341 capable of transferring the coin roll B to and from the coin roll storage portion 212c.
収納連結部３４１は、棒金収納部２１２ｃの載置面２２１ｃの後退端位置から後方に延出し下側において前方に折り返して棒金収納部２１２ｄの載置面２２１ｄよりも所定量上方位置に延出する内側連結部３４２と、棒金収納部２１２ｄの載置面２２１ｄの後退端位置から後方に延出し上側において前方に折り返して棒金収納部２１２ｃの載置面２２１ｃよりも所定量上方位置に延出する外側連結部３４３とを有している。外側連結部３４３は内側連結部３４２の外側にこれを覆うように配置されて内側連結部３４２との間に湾曲状の連結通路３４４を形成する。この連結通路３４４が、棒金Ｂの、棒金収納部２１２ｄから棒金収納部２１２ｃに向けての移動を案内し、棒金収納部２１２ｃから棒金収納部２１２ｄに向けての移動を案内する。
The storage connecting portion 341 extends rearward from the rearward end position of the mounting surface 221c of the coin-roll storing portion 212c, folds forward at the lower side, and extends to a position above the mounting surface 221d of the coin-roll storing portion 212d by a predetermined amount. and an inner connecting portion 342 extending backward from the rearward end position of the mounting surface 221d of the coin-roll storing portion 212d and folding forward at the upper side to a position above the mounting surface 221c of the coin-roll storing portion 212c by a predetermined amount. and an extending outer connecting portion 343 . The outer connecting portion 343 is arranged outside the inner connecting portion 342 so as to cover the outer connecting portion 343 and forms a curved connecting passage 344 with the inner connecting portion 342 . The connecting passage 344 guides the movement of the coin roll B from the coin roll storage section 212d toward the coin roll storage section 212c, and guides the movement from the coin roll storage section 212c toward the coin roll storage section 212d. .
前方棒金規制部３２１は、一対の側板２１１ｃの間に配置されて、これらの前部に取り付けられている。前方棒金規制部３２１は、棒金収納部２１２ｃの載置面２２１ｃの前端部の上方に配置されており、載置面２２１ｃに載置された棒金Ｂの前方への移動を規制し、棒金収納部２１２ｃから前方への棒金Ｂの脱落を規制する。即ち、棒金収納部２１２ｃは、前方棒金規制部３２１よりも後方が棒金Ｂの収納範囲となっている。
The front coin roll restricting portion 321 is arranged between the pair of side plates 211c and attached to the front portions thereof. The front coin-roll restricting portion 321 is arranged above the front end portion of the mounting surface 221c of the coin-roll storing portion 212c, and restricts the forward movement of the coin-roll B placed on the mounting surface 221c. This prevents the coin roll B from falling forward from the coin roll storage part 212c. That is, the coin-roll storing portion 212c has a storage range of the coin-roll B behind the front coin-roll restricting portion 321 .
２段連結型棒金収納モジュール２０２の繰出ベルト機構部２１３ｃは、繰出ベルト２５３ｃを第２の方向に回転させることで、棒金収納部２１２ｄの棒金Ｂをスライダ２７１ｄ（進退スライダ）の先端棒金規制部２８２ｄに向けて移動させる。
The pay-out belt mechanism 213c of the two-stage connected coin-roll storage module 202 rotates the pay-out belt 253c in the second direction to move the coin-roll B of the coin-roll storage unit 212d to the tip end of the slider 271d (advance/retreat slider). It is moved toward the gold restricting portion 282d.
スライダ２７１ｄは、後退端位置に位置するとき、棒金支持部２８８ｄが、後退端位置に位置するスライダ２７１ａの棒金支持部２８８ａと前後方向及び左右方向の位置を合わせることになる。また、スライダ２７１ｄは、前進端位置に位置するときも、棒金支持部２８８ｄが、前進端位置に位置するスライダ２７１ａの棒金支持部２８８ａと前後方向及び左右方向の位置を合わせることになる。
When the slider 271d is positioned at the rear end position, the coin roll support portion 288d is aligned with the coin roll support portion 288a of the slider 271a positioned at the rear end position in the front-rear direction and the left-right direction. Also, when the slider 271d is positioned at the forward end position, the coin roll support portion 288d is aligned with the coin roll support portion 288a of the slider 271a positioned at the forward end position in the front-rear direction and the left-right direction.
その際に、棒金Ｂが、棒金収納部２１２ｄ及び収納連結部３４１に満杯にあり、棒金収納部２１２ｃにもある状態では、繰出ベルト２５３ｃの上辺部２６３ｃに位置する突起部２６２ｃが棒金載置部２２３ｃに載置された最も前側にある棒金Ｂを後方に押圧する。すると、スライダ２７１ｄの先端棒金規制部２８２ｄと突起部２６２ｃとが、棒金収納部２１２ｃ、収納連結部３４１及び棒金収納部２１２ｄの棒金Ｂ間の隙間を無くして、これらを拘束する状態となる。
At this time, when the coin-roll storing portion 212d and the coin-roll storing portion 341 are filled with the coin-roll B, and the coin-roll storing portion 212c is also filled with the coin-roll B, the projection portion 262c located on the upper side portion 263c of the feeding belt 253c will The frontmost metal roll B placed on the gold placing portion 223c is pushed backward. Then, the coin-roll regulating portion 282d and the protrusion 262c of the slider 271d eliminate the gaps between the coin-roll storing portion 212c, the coin-roll storing portion 341, and the coin-roll B of the coin-roll storing portion 212d, thereby restraining them. becomes.
また、棒金Ｂが、棒金収納部２１２ｃにはなく、棒金収納部２１２ｄに満杯にあり、収納連結部３４１にもある状態では、繰出ベルト２５３ｃの上辺部２６３ｃと下辺部２６４ｃとの間にある突起部２６２ｃが収納連結部３４１にある最も上側の棒金Ｂを下方に押圧する。すると、スライダ２７１ｄの先端棒金規制部２８２ｄと突起部２６２ｃとが、収納連結部３４１及び棒金収納部２１２ｄの棒金Ｂ間の隙間を無くして、これらを拘束する状態となる。
In addition, when the coin roll B is not in the coin roll storage section 212c but in the coin roll storage section 212d and is also in the storage connection section 341, the upper side portion 263c and the lower side portion 264c of the feeding belt 253c The projecting portion 262c located at the bottom pushes the uppermost metal roll B located at the storage connecting portion 341 downward. Then, the coin roll restricting portion 282d at the tip of the slider 271d and the protrusion 262c eliminate the gap between the coin roll B of the storage connection portion 341 and the coin roll storage portion 212d, thereby restraining them.
また、棒金Ｂが、棒金収納部２１２ｃ及び収納連結部３４１にはなく、棒金収納部２１２ｄにある状態では、繰出ベルト２５３ｃの下辺部２６４ｃにある突起部２６２ｃが棒金載置部２２３ｄに載置された最も後側にある棒金Ｂを前方に押圧する。すると、スライダ２７１ｄの先端棒金規制部２８２ｄと突起部２６２ｃとが、棒金収納部２１２ｄ上の棒金Ｂ間の隙間を無くして、これらを挟持して拘束する状態となる。
Also, when the coin roll B is not in the coin roll storage section 212c or in the storage connecting section 341 but is in the coin roll storage section 212d, the protrusion 262c on the lower side 264c of the delivery belt 253c is not in the coin roll placement section 223d. pushes forward the metal roll B placed on the rearmost side. Then, the coin-roll restricting portion 282d and the protrusion 262c of the slider 271d eliminate the gap between the coin-rolls B on the coin-roll storing portion 212d, and clamp and constrain them.
＜２段連結型棒金収納モジュール２０２から棒金昇降搬送部１２１への棒金Ｂの繰り出し動作＞
２段連結型棒金収納モジュール２０２の棒金Ｂを棒金昇降搬送部１２１の縦型ベルトコンベア１５１に繰り出す場合、スライダ２７１ｄを後退端位置に位置させた状態で、繰出ベルト２５３ｃが、突起部２６２ｃで、２段連結型棒金収納モジュール２０２に収納されている棒金Ｂの各間の隙間を無くしつつ、棒金収納部２１２ｄの前端の棒金Ｂをスライダ２７１ｄの先端棒金規制部２８２ｄに押し付ける。この状態で、先端棒金規制部２８２ｄに当接し棒金支持部２８８ｄに配置されている先頭の棒金Ｂの異金種を、異金種センサ２１６ｄが検知する。
<Feeding operation of coin roll B from two-stage connection type coin-roll storing module 202 to coin-roll lifting/lowering transport unit 121>
When the coin roll B of the two-stage connection type coin-roll storage module 202 is delivered to the vertical belt conveyor 151 of the coin-roll elevating/conveying unit 121, the delivery belt 253c is moved to the protruding portion while the slider 271d is positioned at the backward end position. At 262c, the coin rolls B at the front end of the coin-roll storing section 212d are moved to the leading end of the coin-roll restricting portion 282d of the slider 271d while eliminating the gaps between the coin-rolls B stored in the two-tiered coin-roll storing module 202. press against. In this state, the different denomination sensor 216d detects the different denomination of the leading coin roll B that abuts against the tip coin roll restricting portion 282d and is placed on the coin roll support portion 288d.
この状態から、スライダ２７１ｄを前進端位置まで移動させる。このとき、棒金Ｂは、前部側棒金規制部２３８ｄで移動が規制される。スライダ２７１ｄの前進端位置までの移動後、繰出ベルト２５３ｃが突起部２６２ｃを棒金２本の外径分だけ棒金Ｂを押圧する方向に移動させると、２段連結型棒金収納モジュール２０２の全ての棒金Ｂが、棒金Ｂの配列においてスライダ２７１ｄの先端棒金規制部２８２ｄに近づくように移動する。そして、前部側棒金規制部２３８ｄで移動が規制されていた先頭の棒金Ｂが、前部側棒金規制部２３８ｄを乗り越え、更に棒金係止部２２５ｄを乗り越え、棒金保持部２８４ｄを通り過ぎて、棒金支持部２８８ｄに移動して棒金支持部２８８ｄに支持される。
From this state, the slider 271d is moved to the forward end position. At this time, the movement of the coin roll B is restricted by the front side coin roll restricting portion 238d. After the slider 271d has moved to the forward end position, the delivery belt 253c moves the projection 262c by the outer diameter of the two coin-rolls B in the direction of pressing the coin-roll B, and the two-stage connection type coin-roll storage module 202 is moved. All the coin rolls B move closer to the leading end coin roll restricting portion 282d of the slider 271d in the arrangement of the coin rolls B. As shown in FIG. Then, the leading coin roll B, whose movement is restricted by the front side coin roll restricting portion 238d, climbs over the front side coin roll restricting portion 238d, further climbs over the coin roll locking portion 225d, and reaches the coin roll holding portion 284d. , and moves to the coin-roll supporting portion 288d to be supported by the coin-roll supporting portion 288d.
これと共に、棒金収納部２１２ｄ上の前から２番目にあった棒金Ｂが、異金種センサ２１６ｄを通過することになり、その際に異金種が検知された後、前部側棒金規制部２３８ｄを乗り越え、棒金収納部２１２ｄ上で１番前となり、棒金係止部２２５ｄに当接して停止する。この状態で、異金種センサ２１６ｄは、棒金収納部２１２ｄ上の次に前から２番目となった棒金Ｂ、即ち棒金支持部２８８ｄの棒金Ｂから数えて３番目の棒金Ｂと前後方向の位置が合い、この棒金収納部２１２ｄ上の次に前から２番目となった棒金Ｂの異金種を検知する。
At the same time, the coin roll B placed second from the front on the coin roll storage section 212d passes through the different denomination sensor 216d. It climbs over the coin regulating portion 238d, becomes the foremost on the coin roll storage portion 212d, and stops in contact with the coin roll locking portion 225d. In this state, the different denomination sensor 216d detects the second coin roll B on the coin roll storage section 212d, that is, the third coin roll B counting from the coin roll B in the coin roll support section 288d. , and the different denomination of the coin roll B, which is the second from the front on the coin roll storage section 212d, is detected.
この状態で、前進端位置にある棒金支持部２８８ｄに配置された棒金Ｂが、棒金昇降搬送部１２１の縦型ベルトコンベア１５１の後部で上昇する桟部１７２に掬い上げられる。このようにして、棒金収納部２１２ｄの棒金Ｂを縦型ベルトコンベア１５１に受け渡す。
In this state, the coin roll B placed on the coin roll support portion 288 d at the forward end position is scooped up by the rail portion 172 that rises at the rear portion of the vertical belt conveyor 151 of the coin roll elevating/conveying portion 121 . In this way, the coin roll B in the coin roll storage section 212 d is delivered to the vertical belt conveyor 151 .
続けて棒金収納部２１２ｄの棒金Ｂを縦型ベルトコンベア１５１に繰り出す場合、繰出ベルト２５３ｃが突起部２６２ｃを更に棒金１本の外径分だけ棒金Ｂの配列において先端棒金規制部２８２ｄに近づくように移動させると、棒金係止部２２５ｄで前方への移動が規制されていた次の先頭の棒金Ｂが、棒金係止部２２５ｄを乗り越えて前進端位置にある棒金支持部２８８ｄに移動して棒金支持部２８８ｄに支持される。この棒金支持部２８８ｄに支持された棒金Ｂが、縦型ベルトコンベア１５１の後部で上昇する桟部１７２に掬い上げられる。このような動作を設定本数分だけ行って、異金種センサ２１６ｄで異金種が検知された後の棒金収納部２１２ｄの棒金Ｂを、設定本数分、１本ずつ縦型ベルトコンベア１５１に受け渡す。
When the coin roll B in the coin roll storage portion 212d is continuously fed out to the vertical belt conveyor 151, the feeding belt 253c pushes the projecting portion 262c further by the outer diameter of one coin roll B in the array of the coin rolls B, and the leading end of the coin roll regulating portion. 282d, the next leading coin roll B, whose forward movement was restricted by the coin roll locking portion 225d, climbs over the coin roll locking portion 225d and is at the forward end position. It moves to the support portion 288d and is supported by the metal roll support portion 288d. The coin roll B supported by the coin-roll support portion 288 d is scooped up by the rail portion 172 rising at the rear portion of the vertical belt conveyor 151 . Such an operation is performed for the set number of coins, and after the different denomination sensor 216d detects a different denomination, the coin rolls B in the coin-roll storage unit 212d are conveyed one by one by the set number to the vertical belt conveyor 151. hand over to
棒金収納部２１２ｄの棒金Ｂを縦型ベルトコンベア１５１に設定本数繰り出すと、設定本数の最後の棒金Ｂを縦型ベルトコンベア１５１に繰り出した後、スライダ２７１ｄを後退端位置まで移動させることになる。その途中、移動するスライダ２７１ｄの先端棒金規制部２８２ｄが、突起部２６２ｃとの間にある棒金Ｂを突起部２６２ｃとで隙間無く拘束するタイミングで、繰出ベルト２５３ｃが突起部２６２ｃを棒金１本の外径分だけ棒金Ｂの配列において先端棒金規制部２８２ｄから離れるように移動させる。すると、２段連結型棒金収納モジュール２０２の全ての棒金Ｂが、後退端位置に位置するスライダ２７１ｄの先端棒金規制部２８２ｄと繰出ベルト２５３ｃの突起部２６２ｃとで隙間無く拘束された状態で搬送されることになる。このように棒金Ｂを先端棒金規制部２８２ｄと突起部２６２ｃとで隙間無く拘束して拘束状態のまま移動させることで、棒金Ｂの転がりを抑制する。
When the set number of coin-rolls B in the coin-roll storing part 212d is fed out to the vertical belt conveyor 151, the last set number of coin-rolls B is fed out to the vertical belt conveyor 151, and then the slider 271d is moved to the backward end position. become. On the way, at the timing when the leading end of the moving slider 271d restrains the coin roll B between the protrusion 262c and the protrusion 262c without any gap, the feeding belt 253c moves the protrusion 262c over the metal roll regulating portion 282d. In the arrangement of the coin rolls B, the coin roll B is moved away from the leading end coin roll restricting portion 282d by one outer diameter. Then, all the coin-rolls B in the two-stage connection type coin-roll storage module 202 are restrained without a gap between the tip-end coin-roll regulating portion 282d of the slider 271d positioned at the retracted end position and the projecting portion 262c of the feeding belt 253c. will be transported by In this manner, the coin roll B is restrained without any gap between the tip coin roll restricting portion 282d and the protrusion 262c and moved while being restrained, thereby suppressing the rolling of the coin roll B.

When storing the coin roll B from the vertical belt conveyor 151 of the coin roll elevating and transporting unit 121 to the two-stage connection type coin roll storage module 202, the slider 271d at the backward end position is moved to the forward end position. Then, the coin-roll supporting portion 288d of the slider 271d moves the coin-roll B housed in the coin-roll housing portion 177 above the rail portion 172 descending at the rear portion of the vertical belt conveyor 151 of the coin-roll elevating and conveying portion 121. Scoop it up and support it. At this time, the coin roll B on the coin-roll storing section 212d is restricted from moving forward by the front-side coin-roll restricting section 238d.
この状態から、スライダ２７１ｄを後退端位置まで移動させることになり、その途中、移動するスライダ２７１ｄの先端棒金規制部２８２ｄが、突起部２６２ｃとの間にある棒金Ｂを突起部２６２ｃとで隙間無く拘束するタイミングで、繰出ベルト２５３ｃを第１の方向に回転させることで、突起部２６２ｃを棒金１本の外径分だけ棒金Ｂの配列において先端棒金規制部２８２ｄから離れるように移動させる。すると、スライダ２７１ｄは、棒金支持部２８８ｄの棒金Ｂを含む２段連結型棒金収納モジュール２０２の全ての棒金Ｂを突起部２６２ｃとで隙間無く拘束して拘束状態のまま移動させて、棒金支持部２８８ｄの棒金Ｂを棒金収納部２１２ｄに収納する。そして、この拘束状態のまま、異金種センサ２１６ｄが、後退端位置にある棒金支持部２８８ｄに配置されている棒金Ｂの異金種を検知する。このように棒金Ｂを先端棒金規制部２８２ｄと突起部２６２ｃとで隙間無く拘束して拘束状態のまま移動させることで、棒金Ｂの転がりを抑制する。
From this state, the slider 271d is moved to the backward end position. By rotating the delivery belt 253c in the first direction at the timing of restraining without a gap, the protruding portion 262c is moved away from the leading end coin-roll restricting portion 282d in the arrangement of the coin-rolls B by the outer diameter of one coin-roll. move. Then, the slider 271d restrains all the coin rolls B of the two-stage connection type coin-roll storage module 202 including the coin-rolls B of the coin-roll supporting portion 288d with the protrusion 262c without gaps, and moves them in the restrained state. , the coin roll B of the coin roll support portion 288d is stored in the coin roll storage portion 212d. Then, in this restricted state, the different denomination sensor 216d detects the different denomination of the coin roll B placed on the coin roll support portion 288d at the retracted end position. In this manner, the coin roll B is restrained without any gap between the tip coin roll restricting portion 282d and the protrusion 262c and moved while being restrained, thereby suppressing the rolling of the coin roll B. FIG.
このとき、スライダ２７１ｄは、棒金Ｂが、棒金収納部２１２ｄ及び収納連結部３４１に満杯にあり、棒金収納部２１２ｃにもある状態では、棒金収納部２１２ｄにある棒金Ｂを後退させ、収納連結部３４１にある棒金Ｂを上昇させ、棒金収納部２１２ｃにある棒金Ｂを前進させる。また、このとき、スライダ２７１ｄは、棒金Ｂが、棒金収納部２１２ｃにはなく、棒金収納部２１２ｄに満杯にあり、収納連結部３４１にもある状態では、棒金収納部２１２ｄにある棒金Ｂを後退させ、収納連結部３４１にある棒金Ｂを上昇させる。また、このとき、スライダ２７１ｄは、棒金Ｂが、棒金収納部２１２ｃ及び収納連結部３４１にはなく、棒金収納部２１２ｄにある状態では、棒金収納部２１２ｄにある棒金Ｂを後退させる。このようにして、縦型ベルトコンベア１５１の棒金Ｂを棒金支持部２８８ｄで受け取って２段連結型棒金収納モジュール２０２に収納する。
At this time, when the coin roll storage portion 212d and the storage connection portion 341 are full of coin rolls B, and the coin roll storage portion 212c is also filled with the coin rolls B, the slider 271d retracts the coin rolls B in the coin roll storage portion 212d. to move the coin roll B in the coin-roll storing portion 341 upward and advance the coin-roll B in the coin-roll storing portion 212c. At this time, the slider 271d is in the coin-roll storage portion 212d when the coin-roll storage portion 212d is full of the coin-roll B, not in the coin-roll storage portion 212c, and the coin-roll storage portion 341 is also filled with the coin-roll B. The coin roll B is retracted, and the coin roll B in the storage connecting portion 341 is raised. At this time, the slider 271d retracts the coin roll B in the coin-roll storing section 212d when the coin-roll B is not in the coin-roll storing section 212c or the storage connecting section 341 but is in the coin-roll storing section 212d.

続けて縦型ベルトコンベア１５１の棒金Ｂを棒金収納部２１２ｄに収納する場合、スライダ２７１ｄを前進端位置まで移動させる。すると、縦型ベルトコンベア１５１の後部で下降する桟部１７２の棒金Ｂを棒金支持部２８８ｄが相対的に掬い上げて支持する。その後、スライダ２７１ｄを後退端位置まで移動させることになる。その途中、移動するスライダ２７１ｄの先端棒金規制部２８２ｄが、突起部２６２ｃとの間にある棒金Ｂを突起部２６２ｃとで隙間無く拘束するタイミングで、突起部２６２ｃを棒金１本の外径分だけ棒金Ｂの配列において先端棒金規制部２８２ｄから離れるように移動させる。すると、スライダ２７１ｄが後退端位置に位置して、棒金支持部２８８ｄに配置されていた棒金Ｂを上記と同様にして棒金収納部２１２ｄに収納する。このようにして、棒金Ｂを１本ずつ縦型ベルトコンベア１５１から棒金支持部２８８ｄで受け取って棒金収納部２１２ｄに収納し異金種センサ２１６ｄで異金種を検知する。
When the coin roll B of the vertical belt conveyor 151 is subsequently stored in the coin roll storage portion 212d, the slider 271d is moved to the forward end position. Then, the coin roll B on the rail portion 172 descending at the rear portion of the vertical belt conveyor 151 is relatively scooped up by the coin roll support portion 288d and supported. Thereafter, the slider 271d is moved to the retracted end position. On the way, at the timing when the leading end of the moving slider 271d restrains the coin roll B between the protrusion 262c and the protrusion 262c without any gap, the protrusion 262c is pushed out of the one metal roll. In the arrangement of the coin rolls B, the coin roll B is moved away from the leading end coin roll restricting portion 282d. Then, the slider 271d is positioned at the retracted end position, and the coin roll B arranged in the coin roll support portion 288d is stored in the coin roll storage portion 212d in the same manner as described above. In this way, the coin rolls B are received one by one from the vertical belt conveyor 151 by the coin roll support section 288d and stored in the coin roll storage section 212d, and different denominations are detected by the different denomination sensor 216d.
以上により、繰出ベルト２５３ｃは、棒金収納部２１２ｃに設けられており、その突起部２６２ｃが、棒金収納部２１２ｃの下面において前方（一方）に移動し、又は、棒金収納部２１２ｃの上面において後方（他方）に移動して、棒金収納部２１２ｄの棒金Ｂをスライダ２７１ｄの棒金収納部２１２ｄから突出した棒金支持部２８８ｄに供給する。

The single-stage coin-roll storage module 203 has a configuration corresponding to the coin-roll storage unit 212b, the slider mechanism unit 214b, the rear coin-roll regulation unit 215b, and the different denomination sensor 216b of the two-stage coin-roll storage module 201. Not provided. A coin-roll position detection sensor (not shown) for detecting that the coin-roll B is positioned above the coin-roll storing section 212e by a predetermined distance is provided at the rear portion of the coin-roll lifting/lowering transport section 121 .
以下では、棒金収納部２１２ｅ、繰出ベルト機構部２１３ｅ、スライダ機構部２１４ｅ、後方棒金規制部２１５ｅ及び異金種センサ２１６ｅにおいて、棒金収納部２１２ａ、繰出ベルト機構部２１３ａ、スライダ機構部２１４ａ、後方棒金規制部２１５ａ及び異金種センサ２１６ａと同様の構成には、同一数字に「ａ」に代えて「ｅ」を付した符号を用いると共に、重複する説明は略す。
In the following, the coin-roll storage unit 212a, the delivery belt mechanism unit 213a, and the slider mechanism unit 214a will be described in the coin-roll storage unit 212e, the delivery belt mechanism unit 213e, the slider mechanism unit 214e, the rear coin-roll regulation unit 215e, and the different denomination sensor 216e. , the rear coin roll regulating portion 215a and the different denomination sensor 216a, the same reference numerals with "e" instead of "a" are used, and overlapping explanations are omitted.
１段型棒金収納モジュール２０３は、繰出ベルト２５３ｅが、棒金収納部２１２ｅに載置された棒金Ｂのうち最も後側の棒金Ｂを上辺部２６３ｅにある突起部２６２ｅで、スライダ２７１ｅ（進退スライダ）の先端棒金規制部２８２ｅ側、即ち前方に押圧する。
In the single-stage coin-roll storing module 203, the delivery belt 253e moves the rearmost coin-roll B among the coin-rolls B placed in the coin-roll storing section 212e to the slider 271e by the projection 262e on the upper side 263e. (Advance/retreat slider) is pushed forward, that is, to the front end of the metal roll regulating portion 282e.
スライダ２７１ｅは、後退端位置に位置するとき、棒金支持部２８８ｅが、後退端位置に位置するスライダ２７１ａの棒金支持部２８８ａと前後方向及び左右方向の位置を合わせることになる。また、スライダ２７１ｅは、前進端位置に位置するときも、棒金支持部２８８ｅが、前進端位置に位置するスライダ２７１ａの棒金支持部２８８ａと前後方向及び左右方向の位置を合わせることになる。
When the slider 271e is positioned at the rearward end position, the coin roll support portion 288e is aligned with the coin roll support portion 288a of the slider 271a positioned at the rearward end position in the front-rear direction and the left-right direction. Also, when the slider 271e is positioned at the forward end position, the coin roll support portion 288e is aligned with the coin roll support portion 288a of the slider 271a positioned at the forward end position in the front-rear direction and the left-right direction.
＜棒金収納部２１２ｅから棒金昇降搬送部１２１への棒金Ｂの繰り出し動作＞
棒金収納部２１２ｅの棒金Ｂを棒金昇降搬送部１２１の縦型ベルトコンベア１５１に繰り出す場合、スライダ２７１ｅを後退端位置に位置させた状態で、繰出ベルト２５３ｅを第１の方向に回転させることにより、突起部２６２ｅで、棒金収納部２１２ｅに載置された棒金Ｂのうち最も後側の棒金Ｂを前方に押す。すると、スライダ２７１ｅの先端棒金規制部２８２ｅと突起部２６２ｅとの間の棒金Ｂ間の隙間が無くなって、突起部２６２ｅが先端棒金規制部２８２ｅとの間で棒金収納部２１２ｅ上の棒金Ｂを挟持する状態となる。この状態で、先端棒金規制部２８２ｅに当接し棒金支持部２８８ｅに配置されている先頭の棒金Ｂの異金種を、異金種センサ２１６ｅが検知する。
<Feeding Operation of Coin Roll B from Coin Roll Storage Unit 212e to Coin Roll Elevating Transport Unit 121>
When the coin-roll B in the coin-roll storing section 212e is to be drawn out onto the vertical belt conveyor 151 in the coin-roll lifting and conveying section 121, the drawing belt 253e is rotated in the first direction while the slider 271e is positioned at the rearward end position. As a result, the projecting portion 262e pushes forward the rearmost coin roll B among the coin rolls B placed in the coin roll storing portion 212e. As a result, the gap between the coin-roll restricting portion 282e of the slider 271e and the protrusion 262e disappears, and the protrusion 262e and the coin-roll restricting portion 282e move above the coin-roll storing portion 212e. It will be in a state where the coin roll B is sandwiched. In this state, the different denomination sensor 216e detects the different denomination of the leading coin roll B that abuts against the tip coin roll restricting portion 282e and is placed on the coin roll support portion 288e.
この状態から、スライダ２７１ｅを前進端位置まで移動させる。このとき、棒金Ｂは、前部側棒金規制部２３８ｅで移動が規制される。スライダ２７１ｅの前進端位置までの移動後、繰出ベルト２５３ｅが突起部２６２ｅを棒金２本の外径分だけ前方に移動させると、棒金収納部２１２ｅに並んでいる全ての棒金Ｂが前進し、前部側棒金規制部２３８ｅで移動が規制されていた先頭の棒金Ｂが、前部側棒金規制部２３８ｅを乗り越え、更に棒金係止部２２５ｅを乗り越え、棒金保持部２８４ｅを通り過ぎて、棒金支持部２８８ｅに移動して棒金支持部２８８ｅに支持される。
From this state, the slider 271e is moved to the forward end position. At this time, the movement of the coin roll B is restricted by the front-side coin-roll restricting portion 238e. After the slider 271e has moved to the forward end position, when the delivery belt 253e moves the projecting portion 262e forward by the outer diameter of the two coin rolls, all the coin rolls B lined up in the coin roll storage section 212e move forward. Then, the leading coin roll B whose movement is restricted by the front side coin roll restricting portion 238e climbs over the front side coin roll restricting portion 238e, further climbs over the coin roll locking portion 225e, and reaches the coin roll holding portion 284e. , moves to the coin roll support 288e and is supported by the coin roll support 288e.
これと共に、棒金収納部２１２ｅ上の前から２番目にあった棒金Ｂが、異金種センサ２１６ｅを通過することになり、その際に異金種が検知された後、前部側棒金規制部２３８ｅを乗り越え、棒金収納部２１２ｅ上で１番前となり棒金係止部２２５ｅに当接して停止する。この状態で、異金種センサ２１６ｅは、棒金収納部２１２ｅ上の次に前から２番目となった棒金Ｂ、即ち棒金支持部２８８ｅの棒金Ｂから数えて３番目の棒金Ｂと前後方向の位置が合い、この棒金収納部２１２ｅ上の次に前から２番目となった棒金Ｂの異金種を検知する。
At the same time, the coin roll B placed second from the front on the coin roll storage section 212e passes through the different denomination sensor 216e. It climbs over the coin regulating portion 238e and becomes the foremost on the coin roll storing portion 212e, and stops in contact with the coin roll locking portion 225e. In this state, the different denomination sensor 216e detects the second coin roll B on the coin roll storage section 212e. , and the different denomination of the coin roll B, which is the second from the front on the coin roll storage section 212e, is detected.
この状態で、前進端位置にある棒金支持部２８８ｅに配置された棒金Ｂが、棒金昇降搬送部１２１の縦型ベルトコンベア１５１の後部で上昇する桟部１７２に掬い上げられる。このようにして、棒金収納部２１２ｅの棒金Ｂを縦型ベルトコンベア１５１に繰り出す。
In this state, the coin roll B placed on the coin roll support portion 288e at the forward end position is scooped up by the crosspiece portion 172 rising at the rear portion of the vertical belt conveyor 151 of the coin roll elevating/conveying portion 121 . In this way, the coin roll B in the coin-roll storing section 212e is delivered to the vertical belt conveyor 151. As shown in FIG.
続けて棒金収納部２１２ｅの棒金Ｂを縦型ベルトコンベア１５１に繰り出す場合、繰出ベルト２５３ｅが突起部２６２ｅを更に棒金１本の外径分だけ前方に移動させる。すると、棒金係止部２２５ｅで前方への移動が規制されていた次の先頭の棒金Ｂが、棒金係止部２２５ｅを乗り越えて、前進端位置にある棒金支持部２８８ｅに移動して棒金支持部２８８ｅに支持される。この棒金支持部２８８ｅに支持された棒金Ｂが、縦型ベルトコンベア１５１の後部で上昇する桟部１７２に掬い上げられる。このような動作を設定本数分だけ行って、異金種センサ２１６ｅで異金種が検知された後の棒金収納部２１２ｅの棒金Ｂを、設定本数分、１本ずつ縦型ベルトコンベア１５１に受け渡す。
When the coin-roll B in the coin-roll storing portion 212e is continuously fed to the vertical belt conveyor 151, the feeding belt 253e further moves the projecting portion 262e forward by the outer diameter of one coin-roll. Then, the next leading coin roll B, whose forward movement is restricted by the coin roll locking portion 225e, climbs over the coin roll locking portion 225e and moves to the coin roll support portion 288e at the forward end position. is supported by the coin roll support portion 288e. The coin roll B supported by the coin-roll support portion 288 e is scooped up by the rail portion 172 which rises at the rear portion of the vertical belt conveyor 151 . Such an operation is performed for the set number of coins, and the coin rolls B in the coin-roll storing section 212e after the different denomination is detected by the different denomination sensor 216e are transferred to the vertical belt conveyor 151 one by one for the set number. hand over to
棒金収納部２１２ｅの棒金Ｂを縦型ベルトコンベア１５１に設定本数繰り出すと、設定本数の最後の棒金Ｂを縦型ベルトコンベア１５１に受け渡した後、スライダ機構部２１４ｅがスライダ２７１ｅを後退端位置まで移動させることになる。その途中、移動するスライダ２７１ｅの先端棒金規制部２８２ｅが、突起部２６２ｅとの間にある棒金Ｂを突起部２６２ｅとで挟持するタイミングで、繰出ベルト２５３ｅが突起部２６２ｅを棒金１本の外径分だけ後方に移動させる。すると、後退端位置に向け移動するスライダ２７１ｅの先端棒金規制部２８２ｅと突起部２６２ｅとが、これらの間にある棒金収納部２１２ｅ上の棒金Ｂを挟持して挟持状態のまま後方に移動させる。このように棒金Ｂを先端棒金規制部２８２ｅと突起部２６２ｅとで挟持して挟持状態のまま後方に移動させることで、棒金Ｂの転がりを抑制する。
When the set number of coin rolls B stored in the coin-roll storage unit 212e is fed out to the vertical belt conveyor 151, the last set number of coin-rolls B is transferred to the vertical belt conveyor 151, and then the slider mechanism 214e moves the slider 271e to the retracted end. You will have to move it to a position. On the way, at the timing when the coin roll restricting portion 282e of the moving slider 271e pinches the coin roll B between the protrusion 262e and the protrusion 262e, the delivery belt 253e pushes the protrusion 262e into one coin roll. rearward by the outer diameter of the Then, the coin-roll regulating portion 282e and the protrusion 262e of the slider 271e moving toward the backward end position pinch the coin-roll B on the coin-roll storage portion 212e between them, and move backward while holding the coin-roll B on the coin-roll storage portion 212e. move. By clamping the coin roll B between the leading end coin roll restricting portion 282e and the projection 262e and moving the coin roll B rearward while being clamped, the coin roll B is prevented from rolling.
＜棒金昇降搬送部１２１から棒金収納部２１２ｅへの棒金Ｂの収納動作＞
縦型ベルトコンベア１５１から棒金収納部２１２ｅに棒金Ｂを収納する場合、後退端位置にあったスライダ２７１ｅを前進端位置まで移動させる。すると、棒金支持部２８８ｅが、棒金昇降搬送部１２１の縦型ベルトコンベア１５１の後部で下降する桟部１７２の上部の棒金収容部１７７に収容されている棒金Ｂを相対的に掬い上げて支持する。このとき、棒金収納部２１２ｅ上の棒金Ｂは、前部側棒金規制部２３８ｅで前方への移動が規制されている。
<Storage Operation of Coin Roll B from Coin Roll Elevating and Transporting Unit 121 to Coin Roll Storage Unit 212e>
When storing the coin roll B from the vertical belt conveyor 151 to the coin roll storing portion 212e, the slider 271e at the backward end position is moved to the forward end position. Then, the coin-roll supporting portion 288e relatively scoops the coin-roll B housed in the coin-roll housing portion 177 above the crosspiece 172 descending at the rear portion of the vertical belt conveyor 151 of the coin-roll elevating and conveying portion 121. Raise and support. At this time, the coin roll B on the coin-roll storing section 212e is restricted from moving forward by the front side coin-roll restricting section 238e.
この状態から、スライダ２７１ｅを後退端位置まで移動させることになる。その途中、移動するスライダ２７１ｅの先端棒金規制部２８２ｅが、突起部２６２ｅとの間にある棒金Ｂを突起部２６２ｅとで挟持するタイミングで、繰出ベルト２５３ｅを第２の方向に回転させることで、突起部２６２ｅを棒金１本の外径分だけ後方に移動させる。すると、スライダ２７１ｅが棒金Ｂを棒金支持部２８８ｅに配置した状態のまま後退端位置に移動することになり、しかも、その途中から、この棒金Ｂを含む先端棒金規制部２８２ｅと突起部２６２ｅとの間の棒金を、先端棒金規制部２８２ｅと突起部２６２ｅとで挟持して挟持状態のまま後方に移動させる。そして、この挟持状態のまま、異金種センサ２１６ｅが、後退端位置にある棒金支持部２８８ｅに配置されている棒金Ｂの異金種を検知する。このように棒金Ｂを先端棒金規制部２８２ｅと突起部２６２ｅとで挟持して挟持状態のまま後方に移動させることで、棒金Ｂの転がりを抑制する。
From this state, the slider 271e is moved to the retracted end position. On the way, the coin roll regulation part 282e of the moving slider 271e rotates the delivery belt 253e in the second direction at the timing when the coin roll B between the protrusion 262e and the protrusion 262e is clamped. Then, the projecting portion 262e is moved rearward by the outer diameter of one metal bar. Then, the slider 271e moves to the retracted end position with the coin roll B placed on the coin roll support portion 288e. The coin roll between the portion 262e is clamped between the leading end coin roll restricting portion 282e and the projecting portion 262e, and is moved backward while being clamped. Then, in this holding state, the different denomination sensor 216e detects the different denomination of the coin roll B arranged on the coin roll support portion 288e at the retracted end position. By clamping the coin roll B between the leading end coin roll restricting portion 282e and the projection 262e and moving the coin roll B rearward while being clamped, the coin roll B is prevented from rolling.
続けて縦型ベルトコンベア１５１の棒金Ｂを棒金収納部２１２ｅに収納する場合、スライダ２７１ｅを前進端位置まで移動させ、棒金昇降搬送部１２１の縦型ベルトコンベア１５１の後部で下降する桟部１７２の棒金Ｂを棒金支持部２８８ｅで相対的に掬い上げて支持する。その後、スライダ２７１ｅを後退端位置まで移動させることになる。その途中、移動するスライダ２７１ｅの先端棒金規制部２８２ｅが、突起部２６２ｅとの間にある棒金Ｂを突起部２６２ｅとで挟持するタイミングで、突起部２６２ｅを棒金１本の外径分だけ後方に移動させる。すると、スライダ２７１ｅが後退端位置に位置して、棒金支持部２８８ｅに配置されていた棒金Ｂを棒金収納部２１２ｅに収納することになり、しかも、その途中から、この棒金Ｂを含む先端棒金規制部２８２ｅと突起部２６２ｅとの間の棒金Ｂを、先端棒金規制部２８２ｅと突起部２６２ｅとで挟持して挟持状態のまま後方に移動させる。このようにして、棒金Ｂを１本ずつ縦型ベルトコンベア１５１から棒金支持部２８８ｅで受け取って棒金収納部２１２ｅに収納し異金種センサ２１６ｅで異金種を検知する。
When the coin roll B of the vertical belt conveyor 151 is subsequently stored in the coin roll storage section 212e, the slider 271e is moved to the forward end position, and the bar that descends at the rear portion of the vertical belt conveyor 151 of the coin roll up-and-down transport section 121 is moved. The coin roll B of the portion 172 is relatively scooped up and supported by the coin roll support portion 288e. After that, the slider 271e is moved to the retracted end position. On the way, at the timing when the leading end of the moving slider 271e clamps the coin roll B between itself and the protrusion 262e, the protrusion 262e is moved by the outer diameter of one metal roll. only move backwards. Then, the slider 271e is positioned at the retracted end position, and the coin roll B placed in the coin roll support portion 288e is stored in the coin roll storage portion 212e. The coin-roll B between the leading end coin-roll restricting portion 282e and the protrusion 262e is clamped by the tip-end coin-roll restricting portion 282e and the protrusion 262e, and is moved backward while being clamped. In this way, the coin rolls B are received one by one from the vertical belt conveyor 151 by the coin roll support section 288e and stored in the coin roll storage section 212e, and different denominations are detected by the different denomination sensor 216e.
よって、スライダ２７１ｅも、前方（一方）にスライドして棒金収納部２１２ｅから突出した棒金支持部２８８ｅに棒金Ｂを配置可能であり、棒金収納部２１２ｅに設けられた繰出ベルト２５３ｅの突起部２６２ｅが、前方（一方）に移動して棒金収納部２１２ｅの棒金Ｂをスライダ２７１ｅの棒金収納部２１２ｅから突出した棒金支持部２８８ｅに供給する。また、スライダ２７１ｅは、棒金収納部２１２ｅから突出した棒金支持部２８８ｅに配置された棒金Ｂを後方（他方）にスライドして棒金収納部２１２ｅに収納可能となっている。異金種センサ２１６ｅは、棒金収納部２１２ｅに設けられ、棒金収納部２１２ｅ内に退避した棒金支持部２８８ｅに配置された棒金Ｂの異金種を検知する。
Therefore, the slider 271e also slides forward (to one side) so that the coin roll B can be placed on the coin roll support portion 288e protruding from the coin roll storage portion 212e. The projecting portion 262e moves forward (to one side) to supply the coin roll B in the coin roll storage portion 212e to the coin roll support portion 288e projecting from the coin roll storage portion 212e of the slider 271e. Further, the slider 271e can slide backward (on the other side) the coin roll B arranged on the coin roll support portion 288e projecting from the coin roll storage portion 212e to store it in the coin roll storage portion 212e. The different denomination sensor 216e is provided in the coin roll storage section 212e and detects the different denomination of the coin roll B placed on the coin roll support section 288e retracted into the coin roll storage section 212e.
１段型棒金収納モジュール２０３において、棒金支持部２８８ｅから、棒金出金部１２３への棒金Ｂの出金動作及び棒金一括収納部１２４への棒金Ｂの出金動作も、棒金支持部２８８ｅから棒金昇降搬送部１２１への棒金Ｂの繰り出し動作が異なる以外は、上記と同様である。また、包装部１０１から棒金支持部２８８ｅへの棒金Ｂの入金動作も、棒金昇降搬送部１２１から棒金支持部２８８ｅへの棒金Ｂの収納動作が異なる以外は、上記と同様である。更に、棒金支持部２８８ｅの自己精査動作も、棒金支持部２８８ｅから棒金昇降搬送部１２１への棒金Ｂの繰り出し動作及び棒金昇降搬送部１２１から棒金支持部２８８ｅへの棒金Ｂの収納動作が異なる以外は、上記と同様である。更に、棒金支持部２８８ｅの入れ替え動作も、棒金支持部２８８ｅから棒金昇降搬送部１２１への棒金Ｂの繰り出し動作及び棒金昇降搬送部１２１から棒金支持部２８８ｅへの棒金Ｂの収納動作が異なる以外は、上記と同様である。
In the single-stage coin-roll storage module 203, the coin-roll B is dispensed from the coin-roll supporting portion 288e to the coin-roll dispensing portion 123 and the coin-roll B is dispensed to the coin-roll batch storage portion 124. The operation is the same as described above, except that the coin roll B is drawn out from the coin roll support section 288e to the coin roll lifting/lowering transport section 121. FIG. The operation of depositing the coin roll B from the packing section 101 to the coin roll support section 288e is also the same as described above, except that the operation of storing the coin roll B from the coin roll lifting/lowering transport section 121 to the coin roll support section 288e is different. be. Furthermore, the self-examination operation of the coin-roll supporting portion 288e also includes the operation of drawing out the coin-roll B from the coin-roll supporting portion 288e to the coin-roll lifting and conveying portion 121 and the coin-roll feeding operation from the coin-roll lifting and conveying portion 121 to the coin-roll supporting portion 288e.

Furthermore, the exchange operation of the coin-roll supporting portion 288e also includes the operation of drawing out the coin-roll B from the coin-roll supporting portion 288e to the coin-roll lifting and conveying portion 121 and the coin-roll B from the coin-roll lifting and conveying portion 121 to the coin-roll supporting portion 288e. is the same as the above, except that the storage operation of is different.
１段型棒金収納モジュール２０３において、棒金収納部２１２ｅと、繰出ベルト機構部２１３ｅと、スライダ機構部２１４ｅと、後方棒金規制部２１５ｅと、異金種センサ２１６ｅとが、単一金種の棒金Ｂを繰り出し可能に複数収納する単位構成となる収納繰出本体部３１１ｅとなっている。
In the single-stage coin-roll storing module 203, the coin-roll storing portion 212e, the delivery belt mechanism portion 213e, the slider mechanism portion 214e, the rear coin-roll restricting portion 215e, and the different denomination sensor 216e are integrated into a single denomination. It is a storing and feeding body portion 311e which is a unit configuration for storing a plurality of coin rolls B so as to be able to be fed out.
ここで、棒金処理装置１０における出金動作としては、包装部１０１で包装した棒金Ｂを包装部１０１から棒金収納繰出部１０２に収納することなく棒金放出部１２２に放出する動作がある。
Here, as the dispensing operation in the coin-roll processing apparatus 10, there is an operation of discharging the coin-roll B packed in the packing unit 101 from the packing unit 101 to the coin-roll discharging unit 122 without storing it in the coin-roll storing and feeding unit 102. be.
この場合、先ず、棒金搬送ベルト１５８を第１の方向に回転させて、桟部１７２を棒金搬送ベルト１５８の後部において上方向に移動させながら、包装部１０１で作成された棒金Ｂを一本ずつ棒金搬送ベルト１５８に繰り出し、これらの棒金Ｂをそれぞれ棒金搬送ベルト１５８の桟部１７２に１本ずつ支持させて上方に搬送する。更に、放出部ゲート１４２を開作動させて、放出部導入口１４１を開くと共に、放出部ゲート１４２を棒金昇降搬送部１２１の前部搬送空間１８７内に突出させる。すると、上部搬送空間１８６の最上部付近で棒金Ｂの搬送方向が上方向から下方向に切り替わるため、それまで棒金Ｂを搬送していた桟部１７２は、棒金Ｂを、棒金搬送ベルト１５８の前部で下方に隣り合う桟部１７２に落下させる。そして、この桟部１７２が、棒金Ｂを上部の棒金収容部１７７に収容して下方に搬送することになり、放出部ゲート１４２と交差する際に、この桟部１７２に支持されていた棒金Ｂが、放出部ゲート１４２によって放出部導入口１４１に導かれて、棒金放出部１２２を通って、受箱１２６に放出される。棒金搬送ベルト１５８は、包装部１０１から繰り出された所定本数の棒金Ｂが放出部ゲート１４２の近傍に設けられた図示略の棒金検知センサによって検知されると、或いは、予め設定された所定時間経過すると、停止する。最後に、放出部ゲート１４２を戻し、放出部導入口１４１を閉状態にする。
In this case, first, the coin-roll conveying belt 158 is rotated in the first direction to move the cross section 172 upward at the rear portion of the coin-roll conveying belt 158, and the coin-roll B produced in the packaging section 101 is moved upward. The coin rolls B are fed out one by one to the coin-roll conveying belt 158, and the coin-rolls B are supported one by one on the crosspieces 172 of the coin-roll conveying belt 158 and conveyed upward. Further, the discharge section gate 142 is opened to open the discharge section introduction port 141 and project the discharge section gate 142 into the front transport space 187 of the coin roll up/down transport section 121 . Then, the conveying direction of the coin roll B is switched from the upward direction to the downward direction near the uppermost part of the upper conveying space 186, so that the crosspiece 172 that has been conveying the coin roll B up to that point stops the coin roll B from being conveyed. The front portion of the belt 158 is dropped onto the crosspiece portion 172 adjacent downward. The crosspiece 172 accommodates the coin roll B in the upper coin roll storage section 177 and conveys it downward. The coin rolls B are guided to the coin-roll introduction port 141 by the coin-roll discharge section gate 142 , pass through the coin-roll discharge section 122 , and are discharged into the receiving box 126 . The coin-roll conveying belt 158 moves when a predetermined number of coin-rolls B delivered from the packaging unit 101 are detected by a coin-roll detection sensor (not shown) provided near the discharging unit gate 142, or when a predetermined number of coin-rolls B are detected. After a predetermined period of time has passed, it will stop. Finally, the discharge section gate 142 is returned to close the discharge section introduction port 141 .

In addition, the two-stage connected coin-roll storage module 202 includes a pay-out belt mechanism 213c including a pay-out belt 253c with a protrusion 262c and a slider including a slider 271d that can protrude forward. By making full use of the mechanism section 214d, the coin roll B can be deposited and withdrawn from the coin roll storage section 212c, the storage connection section 341, and the coin roll storage section 212d. In addition, the one-stage coin-roll storage module 203 includes a pay-out belt mechanism portion 213e including a pay-out belt 253e with a protrusion 262e, and a slider mechanism including a slider 271e that can protrude forward. By making full use of the portion 214e, the coin roll B can be deposited and withdrawn from the coin roll storage portion 212e.
よって、２段型棒金収納モジュール２０１の載置面２２１ａ及び載置面２２１ｂと、２段連結型棒金収納モジュール２０２の載置面２２１ｃ及び載置面２２１ｄと、１段型棒金収納モジュール２０３の載置面２２１ｅとが、何れも傾斜せずに水平に配置されていても、棒金Ｂを入出金することができることになる。これにより、棒金処理装置１０の内部の前方上部及び後方下部等の無駄なスペースを削減することができる。
Therefore, the mounting surfaces 221a and 221b of the two-tiered coin-roll storage module 201, the mounting surfaces 221c and 221d of the two-tiered coin-roll storage module 202, and the one-tier coin-roll storage module Even if the placement surface 221e of the slot 203 is not inclined and placed horizontally, the coin roll B can be deposited or withdrawn. As a result, wasted space such as the upper front portion and the lower rear portion inside the coin-roll processing machine 10 can be reduced.
よって、傾斜のためのスペース分、棒金収納装置１０をより小型化することができる。或いは、棒金収納装置１０の大きさを変えることなく、傾斜のためのスペース分、棒金Ｂの収納容量をより増大させて大容量化することができる。
Therefore, the coin-roll storage device 10 can be made smaller by the space for the inclination. Alternatively, without changing the size of the coin-roll storage device 10, the storage capacity of the coin-rolls B can be increased by the space for the inclination, thereby increasing the capacity.
更に、棒金Ｂを移動させるとき、前方や棒金Ｂ間に空間があれば棒金Ｂは転がり、無ければ棒金Ｂ間の接触抵抗で転がらずに滑ることになるが、棒金Ｂは、２段型棒金収納モジュール２０１の棒金収納部２１２ａでは繰出ベルト２５３ａの突起部２６２ａに押し付けられた状態で、棒金収納部２１２ｂでは繰出ベルト２５３ａの突起部２６２ａに押し付けられた状態で、２段連結型棒金収納モジュール２０２の棒金収納部２１２ｃ、収納連結部３４１及び棒金収納部２１２ｄでは繰出ベルト２５３ｃの突起部２６２ｃに押し付けられた状態で、１段型棒金収納モジュール２０３では繰出ベルト２５３ｅの突起部２６２ｅに押し付けられた状態で入出金移動するため、空間は無くほぼ転がらずに滑って移動する。
Furthermore, when moving the coin roll B, if there is a space in front of or between the coin rolls B, the coin roll B rolls. In the coin-roll storing section 212a of the two-stage coin-roll storing module 201, the coin-roll storing section 212a is pressed against the protrusion 262a of the delivery belt 253a. In the coin-roll storing portion 212c, the storing connecting portion 341, and the coin-roll storing portion 212d of the two-stage connected type coin-roll storing module 202, the coin-roll storing portion 212d is pressed against the protrusion 262c of the delivery belt 253c. Since the coin is deposited and dispensed while being pressed against the protrusion 262e of the delivery belt 253e, there is no space, and the coin slides without rolling.
加えて、棒金Ｂを移動させるとき、前方や棒金Ｂ間に空間があれば棒金Ｂは転がり、無ければ棒金Ｂ間の接触抵抗で転がらずに滑ることになるが、棒金Ｂは、２段型棒金収納モジュール２０１の棒金収納部２１２ａでは繰出ベルト２５３ａの突起部２６２ａとスライダ２７１ａの先端棒金規制部２８２ａとに挟持された状態で、棒金収納部２１２ｂでは繰出ベルト２５３ａの突起部２６２ａとスライダ２７１ｂの先端棒金規制部２８２ｂとに挟持された状態で、２段連結型棒金収納モジュール２０２の棒金収納部２１２ｃ、収納連結部３４１及び棒金収納部２１２ｄでは繰出ベルト２５３ｃの突起部２６２ｃとスライダ２７１ｄの先端棒金規制部２８２ｄとで隙間無く拘束された状態で、１段型棒金納モジュール２０３では繰出ベルト２５３ｅの突起部２６２ｅとスライダ２７１ｅの先端棒金規制部２８２ｅとに挟持された状態で、移動するため、空間は無くほぼ転がらずに滑って移動する。
In addition, when moving the coin roll B, if there is a space in front of or between the coin rolls B, the coin roll B rolls. In the coin-roll storing section 212a of the two-tiered coin-roll storing module 201, the protrusion 262a of the delivery belt 253a and the tip-end coin-roll restricting section 282a of the slider 271a sandwich the belt. 253a and the leading end 282b of the slider 271b. In the one-stage type coin-roll storing module 203, the projecting portion 262e of the feeding belt 253e and the leading end of the slider 271e are restricted by the projection 262c of the delivery belt 253c and the leading end metal roll regulation portion 282d of the slider 271d. Since it moves while being sandwiched between the parts 282e and 282e, there is no space and it slides without rolling.
従って、図４に示すように棒金Ｂにある包装紙の切れ目３５１が、棒金Ｂが転がることで隣接する棒金Ｂ同士で係合して、包装が剥がれてしまうことを抑制することができる。
Therefore, as shown in FIG. 4, the slits 351 in the wrapping paper of the coin rolls B can prevent the rolling of the coin rolls B from causing the adjacent coin rolls B to engage with each other and the wrapping to be peeled off. can.
２段連結型棒金収納モジュール２０２によれば、棒金収納部２１２ｄと、その上面側に設けられた棒金収納部２１２ｃとが、収納連結部３４１で連結されて、棒金Ｂを受け渡し可能となっており、棒金収納部２１２ｃに設けられた繰出ベルト２５３ｃが回転して、その突起部２６２ｃが、棒金収納部２１２ｃの上面において収納連結部３４１側に移動し、又は、棒金収納部２１２ｃの下面において収納連結部３４１とは反対側に移動して、棒金収納部２１２ｄの棒金Ｂをスライダ２７１ｄの棒金収納部２１２ｄから突出した棒金支持部２８８ｄに供給する。
According to the two-stage connection type coin-roll storing module 202, the coin-roll storing portion 212d and the coin-roll storing portion 212c provided on the upper surface thereof are connected by the storing connecting portion 341, so that the coin-roll B can be delivered. As a result, the delivery belt 253c provided in the coin-roll storing portion 212c rotates, and the projection 262c moves toward the storage connecting portion 341 on the upper surface of the coin-roll storing portion 212c, or the coin-roll storing portion 212c is closed. It moves to the side opposite to the storage connecting portion 341 on the lower surface of the portion 212c, and supplies the coin roll B in the coin roll storage portion 212d to the coin roll support portion 288d projecting from the coin roll storage portion 212d of the slider 271d.
このため、棒金収納部２１２ｄと収納連結部３４１と棒金収納部２１２ｃとに棒金Ｂを収納可能となるため、棒金Ｂの収納容量を増やすことができる。また、共通の繰出ベルト２５３ｃの突起部２６２ｃで、棒金収納部２１２ｄ及び棒金収納部２１２ｃの棒金Ｂを移動させることができるため、スペース効率を向上させることができる。即ち、棒金収納部２１２ｄと棒金収納部２１２ｃとに別々に繰出ベルトを有する場合と比べて、棒金収納装置１０をより小型化することができる。或いは、棒金収納装置１０の大きさを変えることなく、棒金Ｂの収納容量をより増大させて大容量化することができる。加えて、コスト増を更に抑制可能となる。
Therefore, since the coin roll B can be stored in the coin roll storage portion 212d, the storage connecting portion 341, and the coin roll storage portion 212c, the storage capacity of the coin roll B can be increased. Further, since the coin rolls B in the coin roll storage section 212d and the coin roll storage section 212c can be moved by the protrusion 262c of the common delivery belt 253c, space efficiency can be improved. That is, the coin-roll storage device 10 can be made more compact than when the coin-roll storage section 212d and the coin-roll storage section 212c have separate delivery belts. Alternatively, without changing the size of the coin-roll storage device 10, the storage capacity of the coin-rolls B can be further increased to increase the capacity. In addition, it becomes possible to further suppress the cost increase.
棒金収納部２１２ａに設けられた異金種センサ２１６ａが、棒金収納部２１２ａ内に退避した棒金支持部２８８ａに配置された棒金Ｂの異金種を検知することになり、棒金収納部２１２ｂに設けられた異金種センサ２１６ｂが、棒金収納部２１２ｂ内に退避した棒金支持部２８８ｂに配置された棒金Ｂの異金種を検知することになり、棒金収納部２１２ｅに設けられた異金種センサ２１６ｅが、棒金収納部２１２ｅ内に退避した棒金支持部２８８ｅに配置された棒金Ｂの異金種を検知することになる。
The different denomination sensor 216a provided in the coin-roll storing portion 212a detects the different denomination of the coin-roll B placed on the coin-roll supporting portion 288a retracted into the coin-roll storing portion 212a. The different denomination sensor 216b provided in the coin-roll storing portion 212b detects the different denomination of the coin-roll B placed on the coin-roll supporting portion 288b retracted into the coin-roll storing portion 212b. The different denomination sensor 216e provided in 212e detects the different denomination of the coin roll B placed on the coin roll support portion 288e retracted into the coin roll storage portion 212e.
このため、スライダ２７１ａの棒金収納部２１２ａから突出した棒金支持部２８８ａに棒金収納部２１２ａから供給する棒金Ｂ、及びスライダ２７１ａの棒金収納部２１２ａから突出した棒金支持部２８８ａから棒金収納部２１２ａに収納した棒金Ｂについての異金種を検知することができ、スライダ２７１ｂの棒金収納部２１２ｂから突出した棒金支持部２８８ｂに棒金収納部２１２ｂから供給する棒金Ｂ、及びスライダ２７１ｂの棒金収納部２１２ｂから突出した棒金支持部２８８ｂから棒金収納部２１２ｂに収納した棒金Ｂについての異金種を検知することができ、スライダ２７１ｅの棒金収納部２１２ｅから突出した棒金支持部２８８ｅに棒金収納部２１２ｅから供給する棒金Ｂ、及びスライダ２７１ｅの棒金収納部２１２ｅから突出した棒金支持部２８８ｅから棒金収納部２１２ｅに収納した棒金Ｂについての異金種を検知することができる。
Therefore, the coin-roll B supplied from the coin-roll storing portion 212a to the coin-roll supporting portion 288a projecting from the coin-roll storing portion 212a of the slider 271a and the coin-roll supporting portion 288a projecting from the coin-roll storing portion 212a of the slider 271a A different denomination of the coin roll B stored in the coin-roll storing portion 212a can be detected, and the coin-roll is supplied from the coin-roll storing portion 212b to the coin-roll supporting portion 288b projecting from the coin-roll storing portion 212b of the slider 271b. B and the coin roll supporting portion 288b protruding from the coin roll storage portion 212b of the slider 271b can detect different denominations of the coin roll B stored in the coin roll storage portion 212b. A coin roll B supplied from the coin roll storage portion 212e to the coin roll storage portion 288e projecting from the slider 212e, and a coin roll stored in the coin roll storage portion 212e from the coin roll support portion 288e projecting from the coin roll storage portion 212e of the slider 271e. Different denominations for B can be detected.
２段型棒金収納モジュール２０１によれば、棒金収納部２１２ａに設けられた繰出ベルト２５３ａが回転して、その突起部２６２ａが棒金収納部２１２ａの上面においてスライダ２７１ａ側に移動すると、棒金収納部２１２ａの棒金Ｂを、スライダ２７１ａの棒金収納部２１２ａから突出した棒金支持部２８８ａに供給することになる。また、棒金収納部２１２ａに設けられた繰出ベルト２５３ａが回転して、その突起部２６２ａが、棒金収納部２１２ａの下面においてスライダ２７１ｂ側に移動すると、棒金収納部２１２ａの下面側に設けられた棒金収納部２１２ｂの棒金Ｂを、棒金収納部２１２ｂから突出した棒金支持部２８８ｂに供給することになる。
According to the two-stage coin-roll storing module 201, when the delivery belt 253a provided in the coin-roll storing portion 212a rotates and the protrusion 262a moves toward the slider 271a on the upper surface of the coin-roll storing portion 212a, the coin-roll storing portion 212a moves toward the slider 271a. The coin roll B in the coin storage section 212a is supplied to the coin roll support section 288a projecting from the coin roll storage section 212a of the slider 271a. Further, when the feeding belt 253a provided in the coin-roll storing portion 212a rotates and the protruding portion 262a moves toward the slider 271b on the lower surface of the coin-roll storing portion 212a, The coin-roll B in the coin-roll storing portion 212b thus obtained is supplied to the coin-roll supporting portion 288b projecting from the coin-roll storing portion 212b.
よって、共通の繰出ベルト２５３ａの突起部２６２ａで、棒金収納部２１２ａの棒金Ｂをスライダ２７１ａの棒金収納部２１２ａから突出した棒金支持部２８８ａに供給したり、棒金収納部２１２ｂの棒金Ｂをスライダ２７１ｂの棒金収納部２１２ｂから突出した棒金支持部２８８ｂに供給したりできるため、スペース効率を向上させることができる。即ち、棒金収納部２１２ａと棒金収納部２１２ｂとに別々に繰出ベルトを有する場合と比べて、棒金収納装置１０をより小型化することができる。或いは、棒金収納装置１０の大きさを変えることなく、棒金Ｂの収納容量をより増大させて大容量化することができる。加えて、コスト増を更に抑制可能となる。
Therefore, the coin roll B in the coin roll storing portion 212a is supplied to the coin roll supporting portion 288a projecting from the coin roll storing portion 212a of the slider 271a by the protrusion 262a of the common delivery belt 253a. Since the coin roll B can be supplied to the coin roll support portion 288b projecting from the coin roll storage portion 212b of the slider 271b, space efficiency can be improved. That is, the coin-roll storage device 10 can be made more compact than when the coin-roll storage section 212a and the coin-roll storage section 212b have separate delivery belts. Alternatively, without changing the size of the coin-roll storage device 10, the storage capacity of the coin-rolls B can be further increased to increase the capacity. In addition, it becomes possible to further suppress the cost increase.

Furthermore, any detection means may be provided in place of the different denomination sensor 216a, the different denomination sensor 216b, and the different denomination sensor 216e as long as it can detect at least the different denominations of the coin roll B. .
＜変形例６＞
２段型棒金収納モジュール２０１を構成する棒金収納部２１２ａ，２１２ｂのうち、下段となる棒金収納部２１２ｂは、載置面２２１ｂに載置された棒金Ｂが出金動作時に突起部２６２ａで前方に押圧され、或いは入金動作時にスライダ２８２ｂで後方に押圧される等、前後方向に圧力を受けて浮き上がったり上方に逃げても、前或いは後の棒金Ｂを乗り越えること等が、上段の棒金載置部２２３ａで防止されることになる。これにより、棒金収納部２１２ｂにおけるジャムの発生を抑制するようになっている。
<Modification 6>
Of the coin-roll storage units 212a and 212b that constitute the two-tiered coin-roll storage module 201, the coin-roll storage unit 212b that is the lower stage has a projection portion when the coin-roll B placed on the placement surface 221b is dispensed. 262a, or pushed backward by the slider 282b during the depositing operation. is prevented by the coin roll placing portion 223a. As a result, the occurrence of a jam in the coin-roll storing portion 212b is suppressed.
これと同様に、上段となる棒金収納部２１２ａについて、載置面２２１ａに載置された棒金Ｂの所定距離を超える上方移動を規制するために、板状或いは棒状等の上部規制部材を載置面２２１ａの上方に設けることが可能である。具体的に、上部規制部材と載置面２２１ａとの距離は、載置面２２１ａに載置された棒金Ｂが出金動作時に突起部２６２ａで前方に押圧され、又は、入金動作時にスライダ２８２ａで後方に押圧される等、前後方向に圧力を受けて浮き上がったり上方に逃げても、前又は後の棒金Ｂを乗り越えたり、上部規制部材と前又は後の棒金Ｂとの間に挟まったりすることがない所定距離に設定される。これにより、棒金収納部２１２ａにおけるジャムの発生を抑制することができる。
Similarly, for the coin-roll storing portion 212a, which is the upper stage, an upper restricting member in the form of a plate or a bar is provided in order to restrict upward movement of the coin-roll B placed on the placement surface 221a beyond a predetermined distance. It can be provided above the mounting surface 221a. Specifically, the distance between the upper regulating member and the placement surface 221a is such that the coin roll B placed on the placement surface 221a is pushed forward by the projecting portion 262a during the withdrawal operation, or the slider 282a during the deposit operation. Even if it floats or escapes upward due to pressure in the front-rear direction, such as being pushed backward by the upper regulating member, it climbs over the front or rear metal roll B or gets caught between the upper regulation member and the front or rear metal roll B. The distance is set to a predetermined distance that does not cause a collision. As a result, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of a jam in the coin-roll storing portion 212a.
２段連結型棒金収納モジュール２０２においても、下段となる棒金収納部２１２ｄは、載置面２２１ｄに載置された棒金Ｂが前後方向に圧力を受けて浮き上がったり上方に逃げても、前又は後の棒金Ｂを乗り越えること等が上段の棒金載置部２２３ｃで防止されることになるが、上段となる棒金収納部２１２ｃの載置面２２１ｃの上方に、載置面２２１ｃに載置された棒金Ｂの所定距離を超える上方移動を規制する上部規制部材を設けてジャムの発生を抑制することが可能である。なお、２段連結型棒金収納モジュール２０２は、軽量の１円棒金を収納するため、棒金Ｂが上方に移動し易く、よって、棒金Ｂの所定距離を超える上方移動を規制する効果が高い。
In the two-stage connection type coin-roll storing module 202, even if the coin-roll storing portion 212d, which is the lower stage, receives pressure in the front-rear direction, the coin-roll B placed on the placing surface 221d floats or escapes upward. The upper coin-roll placing portion 223c prevents the coin-roll B from riding over the front or rear coin-roll B. It is possible to suppress the occurrence of a jam by providing an upper restricting member that restricts the upward movement of the metal roll B placed on the stacker beyond a predetermined distance. Since the two-tiered coin-roll storing module 202 stores a lightweight 1-yen coin-roll, the coin-roll B can easily move upward. is high.
１段型棒金収納モジュール２０３についても、棒金収納部２１２ｅの載置面２２１ｅの上方に、載置面２２１ｅに載置された棒金Ｂの所定距離を超える上方移動を規制する上部規制部材を設けてジャムの発生を抑制することが可能である。
In the single-stage coin-roll storage module 203, an upper regulation member is provided above the mounting surface 221e of the coin-roll storage unit 212e to restrict upward movement of the coin-roll B placed on the mounting surface 221e beyond a predetermined distance. can be provided to suppress the occurrence of jams.
