非整列収納庫であることから、その硬貨収納容量は硬貨
の乱雑山積み状態の如何によって変動するので、収納枚
数のバラツキが生じる。このため、ある程度収納スペー
スに余裕を取る必要がある。At the time of the deposit processing in the circulation type coin depositing and dispensing processing section, the coins selected on the dispensing belt of the coin-type coin dispensing section are simply thrown in at random and are not aligned without being aligned. It is piled up. For this reason, although a certain amount of coin storage capacity can be ensured, the coin storage capacity fluctuates depending on the state of random stacking of coins since the coins are non-aligned storage bins, and the number of stored coins varies. For this reason, it is necessary to provide a certain amount of storage space.

に差が生じる。特に、小径の１円硬貨（直径26.2mm）と
大径の500 円硬貨（直径34.5mm）とでは１枚当りの硬貨
繰出に歴然とした時間差が生じている。At the time of the dispensing process in the circulation type coin depositing and dispensing processing section, the feeding belt is driven for the first time in accordance with a dispensing command, and non-aligned coins in a heaped state are separated one by one by a separation roller (reverse roller). Since the falling coins are realigned in a line on the payout belt while being crushed, the falling coins are fed one by one to the outside of the belt end, so that the coins in the lying posture are fed from various storage states of non-aligned coins. Due to the influence of a coin bridge or the like, there is inevitably variation in coin payout time per sheet even with the same denomination. For this reason, the payout of the required number of sheets must always allow for extra time. In addition, coins are regulated in a single row by the separation roller, and then are sequentially fed out. Therefore, coins of different denominations have different coin diameters, so that there is a difference in the feeding time of each denomination. In particular, there is a noticeable time difference in the coin dispensing per sheet between a small-diameter 1-yen coin (diameter 26.2 mm) and a large-diameter 500-yen coin (diameter 34.5 mm).

っている。On the other hand, the occupied area of the two-layer structure integrated bill / coin depositing / dispensing machine is substantially equal to the occupying area of the cash drawer box 12 shown in FIG. Since the processing unit and the circulation-type banknote depositing / dispensing processing unit are merely stacked, the height of the apparatus is inevitably reduced to the cash drawer box 12.
, Which is more than twice as large as the height of the device, and sacrifices thinness.

の、逆に装置高さが大きくなってしまう。The circulating banknote depositing / dispensing processing section occupies the circulating banknote storage for 1,000-yen bills, the circulating banknote storage for 5,000-yen bills, and the circulating banknote storage for 10,000-yen bills as before. Including the laying of the banknote sorting transport path and the banknote discharge path therefrom in addition to the area, the area occupied by each banknote processing unit is inevitably increased. In addition, in order to reduce the thickness of the circulation banknote depositing / dispensing processing unit, the upright banknotes are conveyed in the banknote longitudinal direction, and the conveying path width can be compressed to about the width of the banknotes. Because of the transport type, the moving distance passing between each banknote processing unit is rather long, and each banknote processing unit must be distributed and arranged.
This has led to an increase in occupied area. When the standing banknotes are conveyed in the banknote shorter direction, the occupied area can be expected to be reduced, but conversely, the device height increases.

程を確実には保証できない。As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, each rotary coin storage cylinder 60 of the present embodiment is formed with a coin feeding projection S having a substantially rectangular cross section along a spiral of the inner peripheral surface thereof. The coin feeding protrusion S may not be provided on the inner peripheral surface of the rotary coin storage cylinder 60 in the inclined posture. However, without the protrusion S, the coin CN in the falling posture inserted into the coin receiving port X is raised. When stored in a stack, the erecting operation becomes somewhat uncertain. That is, in the case of the rotary coin storage cylinder 60 having no coin feeding ridge S, the rotational friction is applied to the peripheral edge of the fallen coin by the contact friction between the coin and the inner peripheral surface of the rotary coin storage cylinder 60, and the coin is once free standing. After standing up, the standing coins are slid and self-propelled.They are stacked and stored in an upright posture.If the contact friction is too small in the self-standing operation or the coins are too vigorous and the contact friction is intermittent, The coin is hard to stand on its own and easily slides down the inner peripheral surface. On the other hand, if the contact friction is too large, the coin stays on the inner peripheral surface in the vicinity of the coin insertion position, continues to rotate and stop on the inner peripheral surface ceiling side, and cannot stand on its own. Therefore, in the self-sustaining process, the strength of the frictional force must be set delicately. Further, in the skidding process after self-sustaining, a side having a small frictional force is liable to skid, but when the inclination angle of the rotary coin storage cylinder is large, it becomes difficult to skid in a self-standing posture. Further, when the friction is large, the rotating cylinder cannot be placed horizontally. In each process, the contact friction between the inner surface of the coin storage cylinder and the coin is deeply involved, so optimizing the contact friction is of the utmost importance. Roughness, maintenance of frictional force when foreign matter such as moisture or dust is mixed, hinders practical application, and various uncertainties make it impossible to reliably assure the standing up process and the independent side slipping process of a falling coin.

Attached belt) 81, side plates 9 b applied to both ends of the belt 81, and an end pressing plate 73. The belt width of the narrow conveying belt 81 is shorter than the diameter of a one-yen coin, which is the minimum diameter, and the raised coins are leaned against the side plates 9b and 73 to be in a standing state. In this example, the conveyor belt 81 is used on the roadbed in order to achieve high-speed picking of coins up to the coin dispensing port 7. However, in a case where the coins are not conveyed at high speed, a gradient gutter system for rolling coins may be used. However, since the subgrade of the coin path is moved by the transport belt 81, there is a possibility that the upright coins on the coin path may be reversed. Therefore, the conveyor belt 81 of this example has a coin detent protrusion 81a with a predetermined pitch on the surface. The transfer belt 8

なフラ付きが生じるだけで、転倒することはない。At the same time as the upright posture, the upright coin CN 'rotates synchronously with the rotatable coin storage tube 60 by contact with the bottom side of the rotatable coin storage tube 60. Even in this case, the upright coin CN 'hardly falls over the hollow side of the rotary coin storage cylinder 60 due to the acquired rotary inertia. The upright coin CN 'is the end holding plate 73.
This is all the more so when leaning on the floor. Here, since the coin CN 'which rises and rotates rides on the coin feeding ridge S every time the rotary coin storage cylinder 60 rotates, the rotating coin is accompanied by vertical vibration in the creepage direction, but due to the rotational inertia. Only a slight flapping occurs and does not fall.

重ね収納されることになる。In this way, when the first coin stands on the end pressing plate 73 of the rotary coin storage cylinder 60, the first coin serves as coin receiving means for the next arriving falling coin CN, and the protrusion The falling coin CN on the valley T collides with the standing coin CN 'and stands and rotates. For this reason, as shown in FIG.
A large number of the falling coins CN inserted into the coin receiving port X are stored in a laterally stacked state while standing and rotating on the end pressing plate 73 side.

がある。In this embodiment, the coefficient of friction between the inner peripheral surface of the rotary coin storage cylinder 60 and the coin CN does not become a subtle factor in the upright rotation of the coin. Since the coin slides in the rotary coin storage cylinder 60 in the axial direction, it is preferable that the coefficient of friction be low for the purpose of reducing wear. However, instead of surface contact,
As shown in (a-1) to (a-3), since the sliding occurs at the point contact of the left and right ends P, P in a supported state, the problem of wear is not serious. Even with a low coefficient of friction, the one-side-up posture of the falling coin CN during sliding occurs to some extent. When the rotation speed of the rotary coin storage cylinder 60 is increased, the transport speed of the falling coins CN increases, and the posture of the falling coins CN rising one shoulder increases. For this reason, the time for stacking coins can be shortened. However, if the coins are rotated at a high speed, the coins may stand on their own, or stick to the inner peripheral surface in a lying posture, and may stop. Therefore, it is necessary to avoid excessive high-speed rotation. Conversely, 1
At a low-speed rotation that is far below rps, the collision speed is low, and the coins during the erecting process are slowed down. In some cases, the coin cannot be erected. Therefore, excessive low-speed rotation must be avoided.

姿勢に変更されて回転しつつ積み重ねられる。Here, the length of the rotary coin storage cylinder 60 needs to be equal to or greater than the pitch P of the coin feeding ridge S.
If the short cylinder is about 3 P, the inserted coin does not rest on the protruding valley T near the coin receiving port X, and the end pressing plate 73 vigorously.
Or a direct collision with the upright stored coin CN ′. This is likely to occur when the coin insertion speed or the inclination angle (downward inclination angle) of the rotary coin storage cylinder 60 is large. However, as long as the coins are not inserted quickly, no bridging or interference occurs between the coins, even if the inserted coin directly collides with the end holding plate 73 or the upright stored coin CN ′, it will eventually end up with a recoil. Since it fits in the protruding valley T as the seat, the coin is thereafter moved to the end holding plate 73.
Or the coins CN 'that have been stored upright are reliably changed to the upright posture and stacked while rotating.

The cover on the front part disappears and naturally fits in the ridge. Conversely, when the rotating cylinder rotates with the rear edge of the falling coin riding deeply on the coin feeding ridge, the coin feeding ridge puts the falling coin and turns it, so the coin has an inclined posture on the side, Overcoming the coin feed ridge, it will fit into the next ridge.

も寄与する。In such a case, the rotating cylinder is not vertically oriented,
Since the coins are horizontally oriented, the coin stacking and the constant storage can be achieved, and the height of the coin storage unit can be significantly reduced. Further, the rotary coin storage cylinder 60 may be in a substantially horizontal posture, and a device height dimension of about twice the coin diameter can be realized. Further, the configuration of the drive system for rotating the rotating cylinder can be simplified as compared with the case where a feeding belt is used for the coin storage unit, and also contributes to the reduction in the width of the coin storage unit.

Has occurred. Such a vertical vibration of the coin CN ′ is caused by the endmost standing coin C on the end pressing plate 73 side.
For N ″, it is helpful to achieve the synchronous payout of coins by releasing from the compressive force due to the accumulated load of coins (reduced when the inclination angle becomes gentler) and by grinding the coins along the surface of the coins.

る。In the money receiving / dispensing machine according to the present invention, the coin receiving / dispensing processing device having the above-described structure and the bill receiving / dispensing processing device using the only circulation type banknote storage that stores the denomination indiscriminately are arranged side by side. Becomes an integral structure in the arrangement. When banknotes unnecessary for withdrawal processing are ejected from the storage, they are returned from the first switching gate to the storage via the banknote return transport unit, so that a storage for each denomination is not required. Therefore, the occupied area of the storage can be reduced to approximately 1/3, and at the same time, the laying area of the incoming transfer section for distributing and transferring banknotes by denomination and the laying area of the outgoing transfer section from a plurality of storages can be reduced. Dramatic space savings in the banknote deposit and withdrawal processing device were achieved. Therefore, the money receiving and dispensing machine can be configured in a thin and compact size substantially equivalent to a cash drawer box.
