As shown in FIG. 21A, the height detection unit 404 detects the first height detection opening 422 when the light receiving element receives light emitted from the light emitting element through the first height detection opening 422. As shown in FIG. 21B, when the light receiving element receives light emitted from the light emitting element through the second height detection opening 423, the second height detection opening 423 is detected. The width of the first height detection opening 422 and the second height detection opening 423 in the movement direction of the height detection body 421 is greater than that of the first height detection opening 422 to the second height detection opening 423 . The difference in width is used to determine whether the first height detection opening 422 or the second height detection opening 423 is detected.

From this standby state, as shown in FIG. 22, the coin roll B is clamped by the first clamping part 411 and the second clamping part 431 to detect the height. At that time, depending on the height of the coin roll B, the height detection unit 404 will be in a state of detecting the second height detection opening 423 as shown in FIG. 21(B). Also, depending on the height of the coin roll B, the height detection unit 404 will not detect the second height detection opening 423 as shown in FIG. 21(C).

Specifically, when the height detection unit 404 detects the second height detection opening 423 as shown in FIG. It can be determined that the height of B is less than 80 mm, 75 mm for 1-yen coin, 5-yen coin, and 10-yen coin, and the second height detection opening 423 is opened as shown in FIG. If detection is not possible, the height of the coin roll B to be detected is 80 mm or more, which is 87.5 mm for a 50-yen coin roll, 85 mm for a 100-yen coin roll, or 90 mm for a 500-yen coin roll. It is set in a position where it can be judged that

The second tip portion 487 of the outer diameter detection piece 483 is detected.
具体的に、外径検知体４７１の第１外径検知片４８２は、図２５及び図２６に示すように、計数支持部２９５上に配置された棒金Ｂ（図２６の例では１円棒金）が１円棒金及び５０円棒金の小径棒金の場合は、第１検知部４９１によって検知されず、図２５、図２７及び図２８に示すように、計数支持部２９５上に配置された棒金Ｂ（図２７の例では５円棒金、図２８の例では５００円棒金）が５円棒金、１００円棒金、１０円棒金及び５００円棒金の大径棒金の場合は、第１検知部４９１によって検知されるように設けられている。
Specifically, the first outer diameter detection piece 482 of the outer diameter detection body 471 is, as shown in FIGS. 1-yen coin rolls and 50-yen coin rolls are not detected by the first detection unit 491, and are placed on the counting support unit 295 as shown in FIGS. 27, 500 yen in the example of FIG. 28) are 5 yen, 100 yen, 10 yen, and 500 yen large diameter bars. In the case of gold, it is provided so as to be detected by the first detector 491 .

However, as shown in FIGS. 25 and 28, the second detecting section 492 detects only when the coin roll B placed on the counting support section 295 is a 500-yen coin roll.
以上により、外径検知機構３８３は、棒金Ｂが１円棒金である場合及び５０円棒金である場合には、棒金Ｂの外径が、第１外径値以下となって、第１外径検知片４８２及び第２外径検知片４８３の両方を外径検知部４７２が検知しない状態となる。また、外径検知機構３８３は、棒金Ｂが５００円棒金である場合には、棒金Ｂの外径が、第１外径値よりも大きい第２外径値以上となって、第１外径検知片４８２及び第２外径検知片４８３の両方を外径検知部４７２が検知する状態となる。更に、外径検知機構３８３は、棒金Ｂが５円棒金である場合、１００円棒金である場合及び１０円棒金である場合には、棒金Ｂの外径が、前記第１外径値よりも大きく前記第２外径値未満となって、第１外径検知片４８２を外径検知部４７２が検知し、且つ、第２外径検知片４８３を外径検知部４７２が検知しない状態となる。
As described above, when the coin roll B is a 1-yen coin roll or a 50-yen coin roll, the outer diameter detection mechanism 383 detects that the outer diameter of the coin roll B is equal to or less than the first outer diameter value. The outer diameter detector 472 does not detect both the first outer diameter detection piece 482 and the second outer diameter detection piece 483 . Further, when the coin roll B is a 500-yen coin roll, the outer diameter detection mechanism 383 detects that the outer diameter of the coin roll B is equal to or larger than the second outer diameter value, which is larger than the first outer diameter value. The outer diameter detector 472 detects both the first outer diameter detection piece 482 and the second outer diameter detection piece 483 . Furthermore, when the coin roll B is a 5-yen coin roll, when it is a 100-yen coin roll, and when it is a 10-yen coin roll, the outer diameter detection mechanism 383 detects the outer diameter of the coin roll B as the first value. When the outer diameter value becomes larger than the outer diameter value and less than the second outer diameter value, the outer diameter detection unit 472 detects the first outer diameter detection piece 482 and the second outer diameter detection piece 483 is detected by the outer diameter detection unit 472. It will not be detected.
即ち、外径検知機構３８３は、棒金Ｂの外径が、第１外径値以下である場合と、前記第１外径値よりも大きい第２外径値以上である場合と、前記第１外径値より大きく前記第２外径値未満である場合とのうちの何れであるかを３者択一で検知する。言い換えれば、外径検知機構３８３は、棒金Ｂの外径が、１円棒金及び５０円棒金の何れかの外径である場合と、５００円棒金の外径である場合と、５円棒金、１００円棒金及び１０円棒金の何れかの外径である場合とのうちの何れであるかを３者択一で検知する。
That is, the outer diameter detection mechanism 383 detects when the outer diameter of the metal roll B is equal to or smaller than the first outer diameter value, when it is equal to or larger than the second outer diameter value larger than the first outer diameter value, and when the outer diameter is equal to or larger than the first outer diameter value. It is detected by selecting one of three cases of the case where the outer diameter is larger than the first outer diameter value and less than the second outer diameter value. In other words, the outer diameter detection mechanism 383 detects whether the outer diameter of the coin roll B is the outer diameter of either a 1-yen coin roll or a 50-yen coin roll, or the outer diameter of a 500-yen coin roll, The outer diameter of the 5-yen coin roll, the 100-yen coin roll, or the 10-yen coin roll is detected by selecting one of the three.
図２２に示すように、外径検知体取付部４７３には、前方に延出する外径検知規制部４８５が形成されている。外径検知体４７１は、外径検知付勢部材（不図示）で付勢されることによって、外径検知ベース部４８１が、外径検知規制部４８５に上側から当接するように下方側に付勢されている。外径検知体４７１は、外径検知規制部４８５に当接することによって必要以上に下方及び前方に回動しないように回動が規制されている。外径検知体４７１は、外径検知規制部４８５に当接する状態で、図８～図１０に示すような位置に停止する。この状態が外径検知体４７１の待機状態となる。

The outer diameter detection member 471 stops at the position shown in FIGS. This state is the standby state of the outer diameter detector 471 .
制御部６７は、穴検知機構３８１によって穴の有無を検知させ、外径検知機構３８３によって外径を検知させ、高さ検知機構３８２によって高さを検知させて、これらに基づいて、識別対象の棒金Ｂの金種識別を行わせる。この場合、図３０に示すようなフローチャートに基づいて、識別対象の棒金Ｂの金種を識別する。
The control unit 67 causes the hole detection mechanism 381 to detect the presence or absence of a hole, the outer diameter detection mechanism 383 to detect the outer diameter, and the height detection mechanism 382 to detect the height. The denomination of the coin roll B is discriminated. In this case, the denomination of the coin roll B to be identified is identified based on the flowchart shown in FIG.
つまり、制御部６７は、先ず、穴検知機構３８１の穴検知センサ３９１を駆動して、穴検知センサ３９１による穴の有無の検知結果から、識別対象の棒金Ｂに穴が開いているか否かを判定する（ステップＳ１）。即ち、ステップＳ１で穴が開いていなければ、識別対象の棒金Ｂが１円棒金、１０円棒金、１００円棒金及び５００円棒金に絞られることになり、ステップＳ１で穴が開いていれば、識別対象の棒金Ｂが５円棒金及び５０円棒金に絞られることになる。
That is, the control unit 67 first drives the hole detection sensor 391 of the hole detection mechanism 381, and determines whether or not the coin roll B to be identified has a hole based on the detection result of the presence or absence of a hole by the hole detection sensor 391. is determined (step S1). That is, if there is no hole in step S1, the coin rolls B to be identified are narrowed down to 1-yen coin roll, 10-yen coin roll, 100-yen coin roll, and 500-yen coin roll. If it is open, the coin rolls B to be identified are narrowed down to 5-yen coin rolls and 50-yen coin rolls.
穴が開いていなければ（ステップＳ１：ＮＯ）、制御部６７は、高さ検知機構３８２の検知結果から、識別対象の棒金Ｂの高さが所定値である８０ｍｍ以上であるか否かを判定する（ステップＳ２）。即ち、ステップＳ２で８０ｍｍ以上でなければ、識別対象の棒金Ｂが１円棒金及び１０円棒金に絞られることになり、ステップＳ２で８０ｍｍ以上であれば、識別対象の棒金Ｂが１００円棒金及び５００円棒金に絞られることになる。
If there is no hole (step S1: NO), the control unit 67 determines whether the height of the coin roll B to be identified is equal to or greater than a predetermined value of 80 mm, based on the detection result of the height detection mechanism 382. Determine (step S2). That is, if it is not 80 mm or more in step S2, the coin roll B to be identified is narrowed down to 1-yen coin roll and 10-yen coin roll. It will be narrowed down to 100 yen coin roll and 500 yen coin roll.

When the height detection opening 423 is detected and it is determined that the height of the coin roll B is less than 80 mm (step S2: NO), the outer diameter detection mechanism 383 detects whether or not the coin roll is a 1-yen coin roll. Determine (step S3). 26, the outer diameter detection mechanism 383 does not detect the first outer diameter detection piece 482 by the first detection unit 491 and the second outer diameter detection piece 483 by the second detection unit 492. If the coin roll B is a 1-yen coin roll (step S3: YES), it is determined that the coin roll B is a 1-yen coin roll. 27, the outer diameter detection mechanism 383 is in a state in which the first detection portion 491 detects the first outer diameter detection piece 482 and the second detection portion 492 does not detect the second outer diameter detection piece 483. If there is, and the coin roll B is not a 1-yen coin roll (step S3: NO), it is determined that the coin roll B is a 10-yen coin roll.

In step S2, the height detection unit 404 detects the second height detection as shown in FIG. If the opening 423 cannot be detected, it is determined that the height of the coin roll B is 80 mm or more (step S2: YES). Then, the outer diameter detection mechanism 383 determines whether or not the coin is a 500-yen bar (step S4). That is, as shown in FIG. 28, the first detection unit 491 detects the first outer diameter detection piece 482 and the second detection unit 492 detects the second outer diameter detection piece 483. is a 500-yen coin roll (step S4: YES), it is determined that the coin roll B is a 500-yen coin roll. 27, the outer diameter detection mechanism 383 is in a state where the first detection section 491 detects the first outer diameter detection piece 482 and the second detection section 492 does not detect the second outer diameter detection piece 483. Thus, when the coin roll B is other than the 500-yen coin roll (step S4: NO), it is determined that the coin roll B is the 100-yen coin roll.
ステップＳ１で、穴が開いていれば（ステップＳ１：ＹＥＳ）、高さ検知機構３８２によって高さが所定高さである８０ｍｍ以上であるか否かを判定する（ステップＳ５）。即ち、図２２に示すように、計数支持部２９５上に配置された識別対象の棒金Ｂを第１挟持部４１１及び第２挟持部４３１によって集積方向両側から挟み込む。
If there is a hole in step S1 (step S1: YES), the height detection mechanism 382 determines whether or not the height is equal to or greater than a predetermined height of 80 mm (step S5). That is, as shown in FIG. 22, the coin roll B to be identified placed on the counting support portion 295 is sandwiched between the first sandwiching portion 411 and the second sandwiching portion 431 from both sides in the stacking direction.

即ち、棒金搬送ベルト１５８が、一方向（図３４の時計回り方向）に回転することで、図３４（Ａ）に示すように、棒金Ｂを上部の棒金収容部１７７で支持している前面側の桟部１７２を上方向に移動させると、この桟部１７２は、棒金搬送ベルト１５８の最上部付近で、この棒金Ｂを支持している棒金収容部１７７を徐々に後方に向けるように傾くことになる。このとき、この桟部１７２の棒金収容部１７７から棒金Ｂが離れる前に、図３４（Ｂ）に示すように、棒金Ｂと平行をなしてベルト本体１７１よりも鉛直上方に設けられている棒金安定部５３１の棒金当接部５４２が、棒金Ｂと当接し、棒金安定部付勢部５３２の付勢力によって、この棒金Ｂを桟部１７２とで挟持する。
That is, the coin-roll conveying belt 158 rotates in one direction (clockwise direction in FIG. 34), so that the coin-roll B is supported by the upper coin-roll accommodating portion 177 as shown in FIG. 34(A). When the crosspiece 172 on the front side where the coin roll B is placed is moved upward, the crosspiece 172 gradually moves the coin roll accommodation section 177 supporting the coin roll B near the top of the coin roll conveying belt 158 rearward. It will be tilted so as to face the At this time, before the coin roll B leaves the coin roll storage portion 177 of the crosspiece 172, as shown in FIG. The coin-roll abutting portion 542 of the coin-roll stabilizing portion 531 abuts on the coin-roll B, and the coin-roll B is clamped by the bar portion 172 by the biasing force of the coin-roll stabilizing portion biasing portion 532 .
その後、棒金安定部５３１は、棒金Ｂを桟部１７２とで挟持した状態を維持したまま、桟部１７２の移動に伴って棒金安定部付勢部５３２の付勢力に抗して棒金搬送ベルト１５８の後面側に回動する。そして、図３４（Ｃ）に示すように、棒金当接部５４２と桟部１７２とで棒金Ｂを挟み込んだ状態となって後面側の所定の角度（約１２０度）まで棒金Ｂを搬送する。
Thereafter, the coin-roll stabilizing portion 531 maintains the state in which the coin-roll B is sandwiched by the crosspiece portion 172, and as the crosspiece portion 172 moves, the coin-roll stabilizing portion 531 moves against the urging force of the coin-roll stabilizing portion urging portion 532. It rotates toward the rear side of the gold conveying belt 158 . Then, as shown in FIG. 34(C), the coin roll B is sandwiched between the coin roll abutting portion 542 and the beam portion 172, and the coin roll B is pushed up to a predetermined angle (approximately 120 degrees) on the rear surface side. transport.

In this way, the coin-roll stabilizing portion 531 of the coin-roll stabilizing mechanism 521 rotatably provided on the upper portion of the coin-roll conveying base portion 526 allows the coin-roll conveying belt 158 to convey the coin-roll B on the rail portion 172 . When conveying from the front side (one side) of the belt 158 to the rear side (the other side), it touches the coin roll B before leaving the crosspiece 172 to stabilize its posture.
その後、更に桟部１７２が移動することによって、棒金当接部５４２が、更に回動して上部後方カバー部１８４との距離を大きくすると、棒金当接部５４２と上部後方カバー部１８４との間から棒金Ｂが落下し、図３４（Ｄ）に示すように、棒金Ｂを、それまで支持していた桟部１７２の回転方向下流側にある他の桟部１７２に受け渡す。すると、この他の桟部１７２は、上部の棒金収容部１７７に棒金Ｂを収容した状態で、下方向に移動して棒金Ｂを下方向に搬送する。
After that, when the bar portion 172 moves further, the coin-roll abutting portion 542 rotates further to increase the distance from the upper rear cover portion 184, so that the coin-roll abutting portion 542 and the upper rear cover portion 184 are separated. The coin roll B drops from the gap, and as shown in FIG. 34(D), the coin roll B is transferred to another crosspiece 172 downstream in the rotational direction of the crosspiece 172 that has been supported so far. Then, the other rail portion 172 moves downward and conveys the coin roll B downward while the coin roll B is accommodated in the upper coin-roll accommodation portion 177 .
また、棒金安定機構５２１は、図３５の（Ａ），（Ｂ），（Ｃ），（Ｄ）の順に示すように、棒金搬送ベルト１５８が後面側からその上方を介して前面側に棒金Ｂを搬送する際にも、棒金Ｂに当接してその姿勢を安定させる。
35A, 35B, 35C, and 35D, the coin-roll stabilizing mechanism 521 moves the coin-roll conveying belt 158 from the rear side to the front side through the upper side thereof. Even when the coin roll B is conveyed, it abuts on the coin roll B to stabilize its posture.
即ち、棒金搬送ベルト１５８が、他方向（図３５の反時計回り方向）に回転することで、図３５（Ａ）に示すように、棒金Ｂを上部の棒金収容部１７７で支持している後面側の桟部１７２を上方向に移動させると、この桟部１７２は、棒金搬送ベルト１５８の最上部付近で、この棒金Ｂを支持している棒金収容部１７７を徐々に前方に向けるように傾くことになる。このとき、この桟部１７２の棒金収容部１７７から棒金Ｂが離れる前に、図３５（Ｂ）に示すように、棒金Ｂと平行をなしてベルト本体１７１よりも鉛直上方に設けられている棒金安定部５３１の棒金当接部５４２が、棒金Ｂと当接し、棒金安定部付勢部５３２の付勢力によって、この棒金Ｂを桟部１７２とで挟持する。
That is, the coin roll conveying belt 158 rotates in the other direction (counterclockwise direction in FIG. 35), so that the coin roll B is supported by the upper coin roll accommodating portion 177 as shown in FIG. 35(A). When the crosspiece 172 on the rear side of the coin roll conveying belt 158 is moved upward, the crosspiece 172 gradually moves the coin roll accommodation section 177 supporting the coin roll B near the top of the coin roll conveying belt 158. It will tilt forward. At this time, before the coin roll B leaves the coin roll storage portion 177 of the crosspiece 172, as shown in FIG. The coin-roll abutting portion 542 of the coin-roll stabilizing portion 531 abuts on the coin-roll B, and the coin-roll B is clamped by the bar portion 172 by the biasing force of the coin-roll stabilizing portion biasing portion 532 .
その後、棒金安定部５３１は、棒金Ｂを桟部１７２とで挟持した状態を維持したまま、桟部１７２の移動に伴って棒金安定部付勢部５３２の付勢力に抗して棒金搬送ベルト１５８の前面側に回動する。そして、図３５（Ｃ）に示すように、棒金当接部５４２と桟部１７２とで棒金Ｂを挟み込んだ状態となって前面側の所定の角度（約１２０度）まで棒金Ｂを搬送する。
Thereafter, the coin-roll stabilizing portion 531 maintains the state in which the coin-roll B is sandwiched by the crosspiece portion 172, and as the crosspiece portion 172 moves, the coin-roll stabilizing portion 531 moves against the urging force of the coin-roll stabilizing portion urging portion 532. It rotates to the front side of the money conveying belt 158 . Then, as shown in FIG. 35(C), the coin roll B is sandwiched between the coin roll abutting portion 542 and the beam portion 172, and the coin roll B is pushed up to a predetermined angle (approximately 120 degrees) on the front side. transport.
このように、棒金搬送ベース部５２６の上部に回動可能に設けられた棒金安定機構５２１の棒金安定部５３１は、棒金搬送ベルト１５８が棒金Ｂを桟部１７２で棒金搬送ベルト１５８の後面側（他面側）から前面側（一面側）に搬送する際に、桟部１７２から離れる状態となる前に棒金Ｂに接して、その姿勢を安定させる。
In this way, the coin-roll stabilizing portion 531 of the coin-roll stabilizing mechanism 521 rotatably provided on the upper portion of the coin-roll conveying base portion 526 allows the coin-roll conveying belt 158 to convey the coin-roll B on the rail portion 172 . When the belt 158 is conveyed from the rear side (other side) to the front side (one side), it touches the coin roll B before leaving the crosspiece 172 to stabilize its posture.
その後、更に桟部１７２が移動することによって、棒金当接部５４２が、更に回動して閉状態の出金部ゲート１３２との距離を大きくすると、棒金当接部５４２と出金部ゲート１３２との間から棒金Ｂが落下し、図３５（Ｄ）に示すように、棒金Ｂを、それまで支持していた桟部１７２の回転方向下流側にある他の桟部１７２に受け渡す。すると、この他の桟部１７２は、上部の棒金収容部１７７に棒金Ｂを収容した状態で、下方向に移動して棒金Ｂを下方向に搬送する。
After that, when the crosspiece 172 moves further, the coin-roll contacting portion 542 rotates further to increase the distance between the coin-roll contacting portion 542 and the coin-dispensing portion gate 132 in the closed state. The coin roll B falls from between the gate 132 and, as shown in FIG. hand over. Then, the other rail portion 172 moves downward and conveys the coin roll B downward while the coin roll B is accommodated in the upper coin-roll accommodation portion 177 .
ここで、図３５（Ｃ）に想像線（二点鎖線）で示すように、出金部ゲート１３２が開状態となっている場合には、棒金当接部５４２と桟部１７２とで棒金Ｂを挟み込んだ状態となった後、棒金当接部５４２が前方カバー部１８２との距離を大きくすると、棒金当接部５４２と前方カバー部１８２との間から棒金Ｂが、開状態の出金部ゲート１３２上に落下する。
Here, as indicated by an imaginary line (two-dot chain line) in FIG. When the coin-roll abutting portion 542 increases the distance from the front cover portion 182 after the coin B is sandwiched, the coin-roll B is opened from between the coin-roll abutting portion 542 and the front cover portion 182 . It drops onto the payout section gate 132 in the state.

（３）次いで、使用者等によって操作表示部等（不図示）に表示されている「計数スタート」ボタンが押下されると、制御部６７は、図１１に示すように、搬送支持駆動部２８３を駆動して、昇降搬送支持部２８２を上昇させて筐体部２１１の下面形成部２２１から所定距離離間する上昇位置に位置させる。すると、第１支持部３３５の後端部が計数支持部２９５の前端部と略同じ高さとなる。図１０に示すように第１支持部３３５上に配置されていた一の棒金Ｂは、この昇降搬送支持部２８２の上昇により、計数規制部２９４と接しながら持ち上げられ、その後、計数規制部２９４による規制が解除されて、図１１に示すように、第１支持部３３５の傾斜によって第１支持部３３５を後方に向けて移動し、計数支持部２９５の傾斜によって計数支持部２９５上に移動する。そして、この棒金Ｂは、第２搬送支持部３０３の第２規制部３４１によって後方への移動が規制された状態となって計数支持部２９５上に停止する。また、このような昇降搬送支持部２８２の上昇により、第１規制部３３４が、中継ガイド部本体２７１の後端部よりも上側に位置することになり、中継ガイド部本体２７１上に載っていた１本後の棒金Ｂの後方移動を規制する。これにより、計数支持部２９５上の棒金Ｂに対し後続する棒金Ｂは、移動が規制される。
(3) Next, when the user or the like presses the "counting start" button displayed on the operation display section or the like (not shown), the control section 67 causes the transport support drive section 283 to start as shown in FIG. is driven to raise the lifting/lowering transfer support portion 282 to a raised position separated from the lower surface forming portion 221 of the housing portion 211 by a predetermined distance. Then, the rear end portion of the first support portion 335 and the front end portion of the counting support portion 295 are approximately the same height. As shown in FIG. 10, one coin roll B placed on the first support portion 335 is lifted while being in contact with the counting restricting portion 294 by the elevation of the lifting and conveying support portion 282, and then the counting restricting portion 294 is released, and as shown in FIG. . Then, the coin roll B stops on the counting support portion 295 in a state where the backward movement thereof is restricted by the second restriction portion 341 of the second transport support portion 303 . In addition, due to the lifting of the lifting/lowering transport support portion 282, the first restricting portion 334 is positioned above the rear end portion of the relay guide portion main body 271, and is placed on the relay guide portion main body 271. The backward movement of the coin roll B after one roll is restricted. As a result, the movement of the coin roll B following the coin roll B on the counting support portion 295 is restricted.
昇降搬送支持部２８２を上昇位置に位置させると、制御部６７は、計数支持部２９５上に配置された棒金Ｂを識別対象として、識別計数機構２１４によって、図３０に示すフローチャートに基づく金種識別を行う。つまり、穴検知機構３８１による穴の有無の検知結果から、穴が開いているか否かを判定し（ステップＳ１）、穴が開いていなければ（ステップＳ１：ＮＯ）、高さ検知機構３８２によって高さが所定値である８０ｍｍ以上であるか否かを判定する（ステップＳ２）。この棒金Ｂの高さが８０ｍｍ未満であると判定すると（ステップＳ２：ＮＯ）、外径検知機構３８３によって、この棒金Ｂの外径が１円棒金の外径であるか否かを判定する（ステップＳ３）。棒金Ｂの外径が１円棒金である場合には（ステップＳ３：ＹＥＳ）、棒金Ｂが１円棒金であると判定する。棒金Ｂが１円棒金でない場合には（ステップＳ３：ＮＯ）、棒金Ｂが１０円棒金であると判定する。
When the up-and-down transport support section 282 is positioned at the raised position, the control section 67 uses the identification counting mechanism 214 to determine the denomination of the coin roll B placed on the counting support section 295 based on the flowchart shown in FIG. identify. That is, it is determined whether or not there is a hole based on the result of detection of the presence or absence of a hole by the hole detection mechanism 381 (step S1). It is determined whether or not the length is equal to or greater than a predetermined value of 80 mm (step S2). When it is determined that the height of this coin roll B is less than 80 mm (step S2: NO), the outer diameter detection mechanism 383 detects whether or not the outer diameter of this coin roll B is the outer diameter of a 1-yen coin roll. Determine (step S3). If the outer diameter of the coin roll B is a 1-yen coin roll (step S3: YES), it is determined that the coin roll B is a 1-yen coin roll. If the coin roll B is not a 1-yen coin roll (step S3: NO), it is determined that the coin roll B is a 10-yen coin roll.
ステップＳ２において、高さ検知部４０４が、この棒金Ｂの高さが８０ｍｍ以上であると判定する（ステップＳ２：ＹＥＳ）と、外径検知機構３８３によって、この棒金Ｂの外径が５００円棒金であるか否かを判定する（ステップＳ４）。棒金Ｂの外径が５００円棒金の外径である場合には（ステップＳ４：ＹＥＳ）、棒金Ｂが５００円棒金であると判定する。また、棒金Ｂが５００円棒金でない場合には（ステップＳ４：ＮＯ）、棒金Ｂが１００円棒金であると判定する。
In step S2, when the height detection unit 404 determines that the height of the coin roll B is 80 mm or more (step S2: YES), the outer diameter detection mechanism 383 determines that the outer diameter of the coin roll B is 500 mm. It is determined whether or not it is a coin bar (step S4). If the outer diameter of the coin roll B is the outer diameter of a 500-yen coin roll (step S4: YES), it is determined that the coin roll B is a 500-yen coin roll. If the coin roll B is not a 500-yen coin roll (step S4: NO), it is determined that the coin roll B is a 100-yen coin roll.
ステップＳ１で、穴が開いていれば（ステップＳ１：ＹＥＳ）、高さ検知機構３８２によって高さが所定高さである８０ｍｍ以上であるか否かを判定する（ステップＳ５）。この棒金Ｂの高さが８０ｍｍ未満であると判定すると（ステップＳ５：ＮＯ）、この棒金Ｂが５円棒金であると判定する。また、この棒金Ｂの高さが８０ｍｍ以上であると判定すると（ステップＳ５：ＹＥＳ）、棒金Ｂが５０円棒金であると判定する。
If there is a hole in step S1 (step S1: YES), the height detection mechanism 382 determines whether or not the height is equal to or greater than a predetermined height of 80 mm (step S5). When it is determined that the height of this coin roll B is less than 80 mm (step S5: NO), it is determined that this coin roll B is a 5-yen coin roll. If it is determined that the height of the coin roll B is 80 mm or more (step S5: YES), it is determined that the coin roll B is a 50-yen coin roll.
そして、識別結果の金種が、（１）において、装填する棒金Ｂの「金種」として選択入力されたものであれば、その金種の棒金Ｂの棒金収納装置１０内での収納数を１加算する。例えば、（１）において、装填する棒金Ｂの「金種」として５００円が選択入力された場合、識別計数機構２１４による識別結果が、５００円棒金であれば、５００円棒金の棒金収納装置１０での収納数を１加算する。即ち、計数装填部１２０は、棒金収納装置１０外から投入された棒金Ｂを識別及び計数することになる。
Then, if the denomination of the identification result is the one selected and input as the "denomination" of the coin roll B to be loaded in (1), then the coin roll B of that denomination is stored in the coin roll storage device 10. Add 1 to the number of items stored. For example, in (1), when 500 yen is selected and input as the "denomination" of coin roll B to be loaded, if the recognition result by the identification counting mechanism 214 is 500 yen coin roll, then the 500 yen coin roll is 1 is added to the number of coins stored in the money storage device 10 . That is, the counting and loading unit 120 identifies and counts the coin rolls B inserted from outside the coin-roll storage device 10 .
（４）次いで、搬送支持駆動部２８３を駆動して、図１２に示すように、昇降搬送支持部２８２を下降させて筐体部２１１の下面形成部２２１と接する下降位置に配置させて、計数支持部２９５の後端部と第２支持部３４２の前端部とを略同じ高さとし、第１支持部３３５の前端部と中継ガイド部２６１の後端部とを略同じ高さにする。すると、図１１に示すように計数支持部２９５上に載置されていた棒金Ｂの第２規制部３４１による規制が、図１２に示すように解除されて、計数支持部２９５上の棒金Ｂは、計数支持部２９５及び第２支持部３４２を後方に向けて転がり、計数装填部１２０の計数装填放出口１３５から放出されて、後方の棒金搬送ベルト１５８の前面側の、計数装填放出口１３５の下端の直ぐ下にある桟部１７２に受け渡される。それと並行して、中継ガイド部２６１の後端部と第１支持部３３５の前端部とが同じ高さとなるため、図１１に示すように第１規制部３３４で停止させられて中継ガイド部２６１の後端部上に載置されていた次の棒金Ｂが、図１２に示すように第１規制部３３４による規制が解除されて、中継ガイド部２６１を後方に向けて転がり、後ろ下がりの第１支持部３３５上に受け渡され、計数規制部２９４によって後方への移動が規制された状態で停止する。
(4) Next, the transport support drive unit 283 is driven to lower the elevation transport support unit 282 to the lowered position where it contacts the lower surface forming unit 221 of the housing unit 211 as shown in FIG. The rear end portion of the support portion 295 and the front end portion of the second support portion 342 are substantially at the same height, and the front end portion of the first support portion 335 and the rear end portion of the relay guide portion 261 are substantially at the same height. Then, as shown in FIG. 11, the coin roll B placed on the counting support portion 295 is released from the regulation by the second regulating portion 341 as shown in FIG. B rolls on the counting support part 295 and the second supporting part 342 toward the rear, is released from the counting loading/unloading port 135 of the counting loading unit 120, and counts loading/unloading on the front side of the rear coin-roll conveying belt 158. It is delivered to a ledge 172 just below the lower end of the outlet 135 . At the same time, since the rear end portion of the relay guide portion 261 and the front end portion of the first support portion 335 are at the same height, as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 12, the next coin roll B placed on the rear end portion of , is released from the restriction by the first restricting portion 334 and rolls rearward on the relay guide portion 261, falling backward. It is transferred onto the first support portion 335 and stopped while its backward movement is restricted by the counting restricting portion 294 .
ここで、昇降搬送支持部２８２を下降させて棒金Ｂを計数装填放出口１３５から放出する前に、棒金搬送ベルト１５８の、この棒金Ｂを受け取る桟部１７２の高さを、計数装填放出口１３５から放出される棒金Ｂを良好に受け取り可能な高さにすることになる。
Here, the height of the cross section 172 of the coin-roll transport belt 158 that receives the coin-roll B is measured before the lifting and transporting support portion 282 is lowered to discharge the coin-roll B from the counting-loading outlet 135 . The coin roll B ejected from the ejection port 135 can be received well.
そして、棒金受渡検知センサ（不図示）によって計数装填部１２０から桟部１７２に棒金Ｂが受け渡されたことを検知すると、棒金搬送ベルト１５８を一方向に回転させて、受け渡された棒金Ｂを、上部の棒金収容部１７７に収容しつつ搬送する。そして、この棒金Ｂの金種が、（１）において、装填する棒金Ｂの「金種」として選択入力されたものであれば、この棒金Ｂを、棒金収納部１０２のその金種用の収納部に収納し、それ以外の金種の場合、この棒金Ｂを、棒金出金部１２３に繰り出す。例えば、（１）において、装填する棒金Ｂの「金種」として５００円が選択入力された場合、識別計数機構２１４の識別結果が、５００円棒金であれば、この棒金Ｂを、棒金収納部１０２の５００円棒金用の収納部に収納し、それ以外の金種の場合、この棒金Ｂを、棒金出金部１２３に繰り出す。
Then, when a coin roll delivery detection sensor (not shown) detects that the coin roll B has been delivered from the counting and loading unit 120 to the crosspiece 172, the coin roll conveying belt 158 is rotated in one direction so that the coin roll is delivered. The rolled coin B is conveyed while being housed in the upper coin-roll containing portion 177 . If the denomination of this coin roll B is selected and input in (1) as the "denomination" of the coin roll B to be loaded, this coin roll B is stored in the coin roll storage section 102. The coin roll B is stored in the coin-roll storage section, and in the case of other denominations, the coin-roll B is delivered to the coin-roll dispensing section 123.例文帳に追加For example, in (1), when 500 yen is selected and input as the "denomination" of the coin roll B to be loaded, if the identification result of the identification counting mechanism 214 is 500 yen coin roll, this coin roll B is The coin roll B is stored in the coin roll storing section 102 for the 500-yen coin roll, and in the case of other denominations, this coin roll B is delivered to the coin roll dispensing section 123 .
桟部１７２に受け渡された棒金Ｂを、棒金収納部１０２に収納する場合、先ず、棒金搬送ベルト１５８を、前面側が上端部を経て後面側に移動する一方向に駆動して、計数装填部１２０から棒金Ｂが供給された、棒金搬送ベルト１５８の前面側の桟部１７２を上方向に移動させ、図３４（Ａ）に示すように、棒金Ｂを上方向に搬送する。
When the coin roll B delivered to the cross section 172 is stored in the coin roll storage section 102, first, the coin roll conveying belt 158 is driven in one direction so that the front side moves to the rear side through the upper end portion. The crosspiece 172 on the front side of the coin-roll conveying belt 158 to which the coin-roll B is supplied from the counting and loading unit 120 is moved upward to convey the coin-roll B upward as shown in FIG. 34(A). do.
すると、図３４（Ｂ）に示すように、この棒金Ｂを搬送している桟部１７２が、棒金搬送ベルト１５８の最上部付近に移動して、この棒金Ｂを支持している棒金収容部１７７を徐々に後方に向けるように傾くことになるが、棒金収容部１７７から棒金Ｂが離れる前に、棒金安定部５３１の棒金当接部５４２が、棒金Ｂと当接し、棒金安定部付勢部５３２の付勢力によって、この棒金Ｂを桟部１７２とで挟持する。
Then, as shown in FIG. 34B, the crosspiece 172 carrying the coin roll B moves to the vicinity of the top of the coin roll conveying belt 158, and the bar supporting the coin roll B moves to the uppermost position of the coin roll conveying belt 158. The coin storage portion 177 is gradually tilted toward the rear, but before the coin roll B is separated from the coin roll storage portion 177, the coin roll contact portion 542 of the coin roll stabilizing portion 531 contacts the coin roll B. The coin roll B is held by the crosspiece 172 by the biasing force of the coin roll stabilizing portion biasing portion 532 .
その後、棒金安定部５３１は、棒金Ｂを桟部１７２とで挟持した状態を維持したまま、桟部１７２の移動に伴って棒金安定部付勢部５３２の付勢力に抗して棒金搬送ベルト１５８の後面側に回動する。そして、図３４（Ｃ）に示すように、棒金当接部５４２と桟部１７２とで棒金Ｂを挟み込んだ状態となった後、棒金当接部５４２と上部後方カバー部１８４との間から棒金Ｂを落下させ、図３４（Ｄ）に示すように、棒金Ｂを、それまで支持していた桟部１７２の回転方向下流側にある他の桟部１７２に受け渡す。すると、この他の桟部１７２は、上部の棒金収容部１７７に棒金Ｂを収容した状態で、下方向に移動して棒金Ｂを下方向に搬送する。すると、棒金収納部１０２が、この他の桟部１７２から棒金Ｂを掬い上げて受け取り、対応する金種用の収納部に収納する。
Thereafter, the coin-roll stabilizing portion 531 maintains the state in which the coin-roll B is sandwiched by the crosspiece portion 172, and as the crosspiece portion 172 moves, the coin-roll stabilizing portion 531 moves against the urging force of the coin-roll stabilizing portion urging portion 532. It rotates toward the rear side of the gold conveying belt 158 . Then, as shown in FIG. 34C, after the coin roll B is sandwiched between the coin-roll abutting portion 542 and the crosspiece 172, the coin-roll abutting portion 542 and the upper rear cover portion 184 are separated. The coin roll B is dropped from between them, and as shown in FIG. 34(D), the coin roll B is transferred to another crosspiece 172 located on the downstream side in the rotational direction of the crosspiece 172 that has been supported so far. Then, the other rail portion 172 moves downward and conveys the coin roll B downward while the coin roll B is accommodated in the upper coin-roll accommodation portion 177 . Then, the coin roll storage unit 102 scoops up and receives the coin roll B from the other cross piece 172 and stores it in the corresponding denomination storage unit.
他方、計数装填部１２０から桟部１７２に受け渡された棒金Ｂを棒金出金部１２３に繰り出す場合、棒金搬送ベルト１５８を駆動して一方向に回転させて、計数装填部１２０から棒金Ｂが供給された、棒金搬送ベルト１５８の前面側の桟部１７２を上方向に移動させ、棒金Ｂを上方向に搬送する。そして、棒金Ｂが出金部導入口１３１よりも上側に位置したことを、棒金検知センサ（不図示）で検知すると、出金部ゲート１３２を開状態にして、棒金搬送ベルト１５８を逆方向に回転させる。すると、出金部ゲート１３２が、この棒金Ｂを掬い上げて、その傾斜により、出金部導入口１３１を介して棒金出金部１２３に案内して収納する。
On the other hand, when the coin roll B transferred from the counting and loading section 120 to the cross section 172 is delivered to the coin roll dispensing section 123, the coin roll conveying belt 158 is driven to rotate in one direction, and the coin roll B is delivered from the counting and loading section 120. The crosspiece 172 on the front side of the coin-roll conveying belt 158 to which the coin-roll B is supplied is moved upward to convey the coin-roll B upward. Then, when the coin roll detection sensor (not shown) detects that the coin roll B is positioned above the dispensing section introduction port 131 , the dispensing section gate 132 is opened and the coin roll conveying belt 158 is moved. Rotate in the opposite direction. Then, the coin-roll B is scooped up by the coin-roll gate 132, and is guided to the coin-roll coin-roll section 123 via the coin-roll introduction port 131 by its inclination.
（５）装填口２１０から計数装填部１２０に投入された棒金Ｂが無くなったことを棒金検知センサ（不図示）で検知するまで、（３）及び（４）の工程を繰り返す。そして、計数装填部１２０に投入された全ての棒金Ｂの識別及び計数が終了すると、操作表示部等（不図示）に、選択した金種の計数結果と、選択した金種以外の棒金の有無等を表示させる。そして、装填口２１０に投入された棒金Ｂを全て棒金収納部１０２或いは棒金出金部１２３に収納すると、操作表示部等（不図示）に、引出部２１２を装置本体１１６に押し込むように促す表示を表示させる。これにより、図８に示すように、使用者等が引出部２１２が装置後方に後端位置まで押し込む。すると、引出部２１２が押し込まれるのに連動して、中継ガイド部２６１のガイドローラ２７２が引出部２１２のローラガイド部２５２及び導入ガイド部２５１に案内されることになり、これによって、中継ガイド部２６１がガイド付勢部材２６６の付勢力に抗して後方に回動されて上方に向けて配置された状態となり、この状態で、引出部２１２が装置本体１１６内に収容される。
(5) Steps (3) and (4) are repeated until the coin roll detection sensor (not shown) detects that the coin rolls B introduced from the loading port 210 into the counting and loading section 120 have run out. Then, when identification and counting of all the coin rolls B inserted in the counting/loading unit 120 are completed, the count result of the selected denomination and the coin rolls other than the selected denomination are displayed on the operation display unit (not shown). Display the presence or absence of When all the coin rolls B loaded into the loading port 210 are stored in the coin roll storage section 102 or the coin roll dispensing section 123, an operation display section (not shown) or the like indicates that the drawer section 212 is pushed into the device main body 116. Display a display prompting you to As a result, as shown in FIG. 8, the user or the like pushes the drawer 212 rearward to the rear end position of the device. As a result, the guide roller 272 of the relay guide portion 261 is guided by the roller guide portion 252 and the introduction guide portion 251 of the drawer portion 212 in conjunction with the pushing of the drawer portion 212, whereby the relay guide portion is moved. 261 is rotated rearward against the biasing force of the guide biasing member 266 and placed facing upward.
また、このとき、棒金出金部１２３に収納した棒金Ｂがある場合、シャッタ１２５を開くと共に、操作表示部等（不図示）に、指定金種以外の棒金Ｂの取り出しを促す表示を表示させる。
At this time, if there is a coin roll B stored in the coin roll dispensing unit 123, the shutter 125 is opened and a display prompting the user to take out a coin roll B other than the specified denomination is displayed on the operation display unit (not shown). display.
以上により、棒金搬送部１２１は、計数装填部１２０によって識別及び計数された棒金Ｂのうち、選択された金種の棒金Ｂを棒金収納部１０２に搬送し、それ以外の金種の棒金Ｂを棒金出金部１２３に搬送する。
As described above, the coin-roll conveying unit 121 conveys the coin-roll B of the selected denomination among the coin-rolls B identified and counted by the counting and loading unit 120 to the coin-roll storing unit 102, and conveys the other denominations. The coin roll B is conveyed to the coin roll dispensing unit 123 .

Then, as shown in FIG. 35A, the coin roll B is accommodated in the coin roll accommodating portion 177 above the crosspiece 172 rising on the rear side of the coin roll conveying belt 158 and conveyed upward.
すると、図３５（Ｂ）に示すように、この棒金Ｂを搬送している桟部１７２が、棒金搬送ベルト１５８の最上部付近に移動して、この棒金Ｂを支持している棒金収容部１７７を徐々に前方に向けるように傾くことになるが、棒金収容部１７７から棒金Ｂが離れる前に、棒金安定部５３１の棒金当接部５４２が、棒金Ｂと当接し、棒金安定部付勢部５３２の付勢力によって、この棒金Ｂを桟部１７２とで挟持する。
Then, as shown in FIG. 35(B), the crosspiece 172 carrying the coin roll B moves to the vicinity of the uppermost part of the coin roll conveying belt 158, and the bar supporting the coin roll B moves to the uppermost position of the coin roll conveying belt 158. The coin storage portion 177 is gradually tilted forward, but before the coin roll B separates from the coin roll storage portion 177, the coin roll contact portion 542 of the coin roll stabilizing portion 531 contacts the coin roll B. The coin roll B is held by the crosspiece 172 by the biasing force of the coin roll stabilizing portion biasing portion 532 .
その後、棒金安定部５３１は、棒金Ｂを桟部１７２とで挟持した状態を維持したまま、桟部１７２の移動に伴って棒金安定部付勢部５３２の付勢力に抗して棒金搬送ベルト１５８の前面側に回動する。そして、棒金当接部５４２と桟部１７２とで棒金Ｂを挟み込んだ状態となった後、棒金当接部５４２と前方カバー部１８２との間から棒金Ｂを落下させ、図３５（Ｃ）に二点鎖線で示すように、開状態にある出金部ゲート１３２が、落下する棒金Ｂを受け取り、その傾斜によって出金部導入口１３１から棒金出金部１２３に収納する。
Thereafter, the coin-roll stabilizing portion 531 maintains the state in which the coin-roll B is sandwiched by the crosspiece portion 172, and as the crosspiece portion 172 moves, the coin-roll stabilizing portion 531 moves against the urging force of the coin-roll stabilizing portion urging portion 532. It rotates to the front side of the money conveying belt 158 . After the coin-roll B is sandwiched between the coin-roll abutment portion 542 and the crosspiece 172, the coin-roll B is dropped from between the coin-roll abutment portion 542 and the front cover portion 182, as shown in FIG. As indicated by a chain double-dashed line in (C), the coin-roll-out gate 132 in the open state receives the falling coin-roll B, and stores it in the coin-roll-outflow section 123 from the coin-roll introduction port 131 due to its inclination. .
以上に述べた本実施形態の棒金収納装置１０は、装置外部から計数装填部１２０に棒金Ｂが投入されると、計数装填部１２０が、投入された棒金Ｂを計数し、棒金搬送部１２１が、計数装填部１２０によって計数された棒金Ｂを棒金収納部１０２に搬送して、棒金収納部１０２に収納させる。よって、既に作製されている棒金Ｂを装置内部の棒金収納部１０２に容易に装填することが可能となる。
In the coin-roll storage device 10 of the present embodiment described above, when coin-rolls B are inserted into the counting and loading unit 120 from the outside of the device, the counting and loading unit 120 counts the inserted coin-rolls B and The transport unit 121 transports the coin rolls B counted by the counting and loading unit 120 to the coin roll storage unit 102 to store the coin rolls in the coin roll storage unit 102 .

また、装置外部から装填口２１０に棒金Ｂが投入されると、計数装填部１２０は、搬送支持機構２１３が、装填口２１０に投入された棒金Ｂを支持し、搬送支持機構２１３によって支持される棒金Ｂを識別計数機構２１４が計数する。そして、搬送支持機構２１３が、識別計数機構２１４によって計数された棒金Ｂを棒金搬送部１２１に搬送する。すると、棒金搬送部１２１が、受け取った棒金Ｂを棒金収納部１０２に搬送して、棒金収納部１０２に収納させる。よって、簡素な構造で、既に作製されている棒金Ｂを装置内部の棒金収納部１０２に装填することが可能となる。
Further, when a coin roll B is thrown into the loading port 210 from the outside of the device, the counting and loading unit 120 supports the coin roll B thrown into the loading port 210 by the transport support mechanism 213 and is supported by the transport support mechanism 213 . The identification counting mechanism 214 counts the rolled coins B. Then, the transport support mechanism 213 transports the coin roll B counted by the identifying and counting mechanism 214 to the coin roll transport section 121 . Then, the coin-roll conveying unit 121 conveys the received coin-roll B to the coin-roll storing unit 102 and stores it in the coin-roll storing unit 102 . Therefore, with a simple structure, it is possible to load the already manufactured coin roll B into the coin roll storage section 102 inside the apparatus.
また、第１搬送支持部３０２が、装填口２１０に投入された棒金Ｂを支持し、搬送支持駆動部２８３による昇降搬送支持部２８２の上方移動により、支持している棒金Ｂを計数搬送支持部２８１に受け渡す。そして、計数搬送支持部２８１が、第１搬送支持部３０２から受け渡された棒金Ｂを支持して識別計数機構２１４により計数させ、計数後、搬送支持駆動部２８３による昇降搬送支持部２８２の下方移動により、支持している棒金Ｂを第２搬送支持部３０３に受け渡す。そして、第２搬送支持部３０３が、計数搬送支持部２８１から受け渡された棒金Ｂを棒金搬送部１２１に受け渡す。よって、簡素な構造で、装填口２１０に投入された棒金Ｂを計数して棒金搬送部１２１に受け渡すことができる。
In addition, the first transport support unit 302 supports the coin rolls B thrown into the loading port 210, and the supported coin rolls B are counted and transported by the upward movement of the lift transport support unit 282 by the transport support driving unit 283. It is delivered to the support section 281 . Then, the counting transport support unit 281 supports the coin roll B delivered from the first transport support unit 302 and counts it by the identification counting mechanism 214 . By downward movement, the supported coin-roll B is transferred to the second transport support section 303 . Then, the second transfer support section 303 transfers the coin roll B transferred from the counting transfer support section 281 to the coin roll transfer section 121 . Therefore, with a simple structure, it is possible to count the coin rolls B thrown into the loading port 210 and deliver them to the coin-roll conveying section 121 .
また、第１搬送支持部３０２が、装填口２１０に投入された棒金Ｂを上面に支持し、搬送支持駆動部２８３による昇降搬送支持部２８２の上方移動により、上面の一端部を、計数搬送支持部２８１の上面の他端部と同等の高さに配置して、上面に支持している棒金Ｂを上面の傾斜により計数搬送支持部２８１の上面に受け渡す。そして、計数搬送支持部２８１が、第１搬送支持部３０２から受け渡された棒金Ｂを上面に支持して識別計数機構２１４により計数させ、計数後、搬送支持駆動部２８３による昇降搬送支持部２８２の下方移動により、上面の一端部を、第２搬送支持部３０３の上面の他端部と同等の高さに配置して、上面に支持している棒金Ｂを上面の傾斜により第２搬送支持部３０３の上面に受け渡す。そして、第２搬送支持部３０３が、計数搬送支持部２８１から上面に受け渡された棒金Ｂを上面の傾斜により棒金搬送部１２１に受け渡す。よって、第１搬送支持部３０２、計数搬送支持部２８１及び第２搬送支持部３０３のそれぞれの上面の傾斜を利用して棒金Ｂを受け渡すため、より簡素な構造で、装填口２１０に投入された棒金Ｂを計数して棒金搬送部１２１に受け渡すことができる。
In addition, the first transport support section 302 supports the coin roll B loaded into the loading port 210 on the upper surface, and the transport support drive section 283 moves the up-and-down transport support section 282 upward to count and transport one end of the upper surface. It is arranged at the same height as the other end of the upper surface of the support section 281, and the coin roll B supported on the upper surface is delivered to the upper surface of the counting and transport support section 281 by the inclination of the upper surface. Then, the counting transport support unit 281 supports the coin roll B delivered from the first transport support unit 302 on its upper surface and counts it by the identification counting mechanism 214. By the downward movement of 282, one end of the upper surface is placed at the same height as the other end of the upper surface of the second transport support section 303, and the coin roll B supported on the upper surface is moved to the second position by the inclination of the upper surface. It is delivered to the upper surface of the transport support section 303 . Then, the second transfer support section 303 transfers the coin roll B transferred from the counting transfer support section 281 to the upper surface thereof to the coin roll transfer section 121 due to the inclination of the upper surface. Therefore, since the coin rolls B are delivered using the slopes of the upper surfaces of the first transport support part 302, the counting transport support part 281, and the second transport support part 303, the coin rolls B are loaded into the loading port 210 with a simpler structure. The rolled coin B can be counted and transferred to the rolled coin transfer section 121 .
また、第１搬送支持部３０２が、装填口２１０に投入された棒金Ｂを上面に支持し、搬送支持駆動部２８３による昇降搬送支持部２８２の上方移動により、上面に支持している棒金Ｂを上面の傾斜により計数搬送支持部２８１の上面に受け渡すと共に、この棒金Ｂよりも装填口２１０側の次の棒金Ｂの移動を規制し、その後の昇降搬送支持部２８２の下方移動により、この次の棒金Ｂの移動規制を解除して、この次の棒金Ｂを上面の傾斜により上面に支持することになる。計数搬送支持部２８１は、搬送支持駆動部２８３による昇降搬送支持部２８２の下方移動により、上面に支持している棒金Ｂを上面の傾斜により第２搬送支持部３０３の上面に受け渡すと共に、第１搬送支持部３０２の上面上の次の棒金Ｂの移動を規制する。また、計数搬送支持部２８１は、その後の昇降搬送支持部２８２の上方移動により、この次の棒金Ｂの移動規制を解除して、この次の棒金Ｂを上面の傾斜により上面に支持し、この次の棒金Ｂの移動を第２搬送支持部３０３が規制する。よって、棒金Ｂを１本ずつ順に計数搬送支持部２８１の上面に支持して計数することができる。
In addition, the first transport support unit 302 supports the coin roll B loaded into the loading port 210 on the upper surface, and the transport support driving unit 283 moves the up-and-down transport support unit 282 upward to support the coin roll B on the upper surface. B is transferred to the upper surface of the counting transfer support part 281 by the inclination of the upper surface, the movement of the next coin roll B closer to the loading port 210 than this coin roll B is restricted, and then the lifting transfer support part 282 moves downward. As a result, the restriction on the movement of the next coin roll B is released, and the next coin roll B is supported on the upper surface by the inclination of the upper surface. The counting transport support part 281 delivers the coin roll B supported on the upper surface to the upper surface of the second transport support part 303 by the inclination of the upper surface by downward movement of the lifting transport support unit 282 by the transport support driving unit 283, The movement of the next coin roll B on the upper surface of the first transport support part 302 is regulated. Further, the counting transport support part 281 releases the movement restriction of the next coin roll B by the subsequent upward movement of the lifting transport support part 282, and supports the next coin roll B on the upper surface by the inclination of the upper surface. , the movement of the next coin roll B is regulated by the second transport support part 303 . Therefore, the coin rolls B can be counted while being supported one by one on the upper surface of the counting transport support portion 281 .
また、引出部２１２は、装置外方に引き出されると、上方に開口するように装填口２１０を形成することになり、この引出部２１２の引き出しに連動して中継ガイド部２６１が揺動して、棒金Ｂを装填口２１０から装置本体１１６側の搬送支持機構２１３に案内する状態となる。よって、計数装填部１２０を使用するときに、引出部２１２を装置外方に引き出せば、装填口２１０を形成することになると共に、中継ガイド部２６１が棒金Ｂを装填口２１０から、装置本体１１６側の搬送支持機構２１３に案内する状態となる。他方で、計数装填部１２０を使用しないときは、引出部２１２を装置内方に押し込んで装置本体１１６に収納することができる。したがって、使用しないときには計数装填部１２０が邪魔にならない。
Further, when the drawer portion 212 is drawn out of the apparatus, the loading port 210 is formed so as to open upward, and the relay guide portion 261 swings in conjunction with the drawing of the drawer portion 212. , the coin roll B is guided from the loading port 210 to the transport support mechanism 213 on the device main body 116 side. Therefore, when the counting loading section 120 is used, if the drawer section 212 is pulled out of the apparatus, the loading opening 210 is formed, and the relay guide section 261 allows the coin roll B to pass through the loading opening 210 to the main body of the apparatus. It is in a state of being guided to the transport support mechanism 213 on the 116 side. On the other hand, when the counting loading section 120 is not used, the drawer section 212 can be pushed into the device and stored in the device main body 116 . Therefore, the counting loader 120 does not get in the way when not in use.
また、識別計数機構２１４が、穴検知機構３８１による棒金Ｂの穴の有無の検知結果と、高さ検知機構３８２による棒金Ｂの高さの検知結果と、外径検知機構３８３による棒金Ｂの外径の検知結果とに基づいて、棒金Ｂの金種を識別するため、棒金Ｂの金種を容易かつ正確に識別することができる。
Further, the identification and counting mechanism 214 detects the presence or absence of holes in the coin roll B by the hole detection mechanism 381 , the detection result of the height of the coin roll B by the height detection mechanism 382 , and the coin roll B by the outer diameter detection mechanism 383 . Since the denomination of the coin roll B is identified based on the detection result of the outer diameter of the coin B, the denomination of the coin roll B can be identified easily and accurately.
また、穴検知機構３８１による棒金Ｂの穴の有無の検知結果と、高さ検知機構３８２による、棒金Ｂの高さが所定高さ以上であるか否かの検知結果と、外径検知機構３８３による、棒金Ｂの外径が、第１外径値以下、第１外径値よりも大きい第２外径値以上、及び、第１外径値より大きく第２外径値未満、の何れであるかの検知結果とに基づいて、棒金Ｂの金種を識別するため、棒金Ｂの金種を、より容易に識別することができる。
Further, the hole detection mechanism 381 detects the presence or absence of a hole in the coin roll B, the height detection mechanism 382 detects whether the height of the coin roll B is equal to or higher than a predetermined height, and outer diameter detection. The outer diameter of the metal roll B by the mechanism 383 is equal to or smaller than the first outer diameter value, equal to or larger than the second outer diameter value larger than the first outer diameter value, and larger than the first outer diameter value and smaller than the second outer diameter value, Since the denomination of the coin roll B is identified on the basis of the detection result as to whether it is any of the above, the denomination of the coin roll B can be identified more easily.
また、計数装填部１２０が、棒金Ｂを装置外部に取り出し可能に出金する棒金出金部１２３と、棒金Ｂを一括で収納する棒金一括収納部１２４との間に設けられているため、これらを纏めて配置することができ、よって、これらへの棒金搬送部１２１による棒金Ｂの搬送が容易となる。
In addition, the counting and loading unit 120 is provided between a coin-roll dispensing unit 123 that dispenses the coin-rolls B to the outside of the device and a coin-roll collective storage unit 124 that collectively stores the coin-rolls B. Therefore, these can be collectively arranged, and therefore, the coin roll B can be easily conveyed by the coin roll conveying section 121 to these.
また、棒金搬送部１２１が、計数装填部１２０によって識別及び計数された棒金Ｂのうち、選択された金種の棒金Ｂを棒金収納部１０２に搬送し、それ以外の金種の棒金Ｂを棒金出金部１２３に搬送するため、選択された金種以外の金種の棒金Ｂが投入されても装置を停止させる必要がなくなる。
Further, the coin-roll conveying unit 121 conveys the coin-roll B of the selected denomination among the coin-rolls B identified and counted by the counting and loading unit 120 to the coin-roll storing unit 102, and conveys the coin-roll B of the other denominations. Since the coin roll B is conveyed to the coin roll dispensing part 123, it is not necessary to stop the device even if the coin roll B of a denomination other than the selected denomination is inserted.
