Description of the Related Art As shown in FIG. 4, a conventional ticket vending machine group management apparatus has a plurality of ticket vending machines which are continuously inserted below a large number of ticket vending machines in parallel in order to effectively utilize coins inserted into each of the ticket vending machines. 4 types of coins (10-yen coin, 50-yen coin, 100-yen coin and
500 yen coins) are collected by denomination, and two types of coins (10 yen coins and 100 yen coins) to be used as change among the collected coins are replenished with the upper part of the coin circulator using the movable bucket. The two supply belts laid continuously on the top of each ticket vending machine receive change from the corresponding change supply machine and supply the change to the change storage section of each ticket vending machine by money type. It has become. Further, the ticket vending machine group management device has a terminal box at the end of the replenishing belt (right side in FIG. 4), and temporarily stores change not supplied to the ticket vending machine in the terminal box and collects the coin at the time of coin collection. And the change in the change replenishment machine, and the change is released to the collection belt by denomination. Each ticket vending machine of the ticket vending machine group management device has a coin processing unit in addition to the change storage unit, and four types of coins (10 yen coin, 50 yen coin, 100 yen coin, and 500 yen) to be inserted at the time of ticket sales. Coins) are stored in each change hopper (not shown) for each denomination, and the change is returned if necessary.
When the remaining coins in the change hopper for storing yen coins or the change hopper for storing 100 yen coins are low, the change storage unit supplies a predetermined amount of change to the corresponding change hopper, and when a predetermined amount of coins is stored in the change hopper, Each change hopper sequentially discharges coins to the corresponding collection belt. At the time of coin collection, the change in the change supply machine of the coin circulator is transported to the terminal box by the supply belt, collected by the collection belt for each denomination, and stored in the coin safe in the coin circulator. On the other hand, the change in the change storage unit of each ticket vending machine and the coin in each change hopper of the coin processing unit are released to the collection belt for each denomination via the temporary storage unit of each ticket vending machine, collected by the collection belt, and circulated. It is stored in the coin safe of the machine.

There is an advantage that the attendant does not need to replenish change coins in the change cassette in the circulating machine, but on the other hand, four types of coins released from each ticket vending machine are collected by four collecting belts by denomination, and the collected coins are collected. Use 2 as change
A coin circulation machine sorts coins according to their denominations, using a lift mechanism to replenish the change storage section of each ticket vending machine with two supply belts via a change supply machine, and could not supply them to the ticket vending machine. Since change coins are stored in the terminal box, the size of the apparatus has been increased and the cost has been high. In addition, when collecting the change in the change supply machine of the coin circulating machine, the change is transported to the terminal box by the supply belt and collected by the collection belt.
