It is sent to the storage unit 41 and stored. When the bar metal A is alternately stored in the bar metal batch storage unit 41 by the bar metal transport units 42a and 42b, the bar metal A can be dispersed and uniformly stored in the bar metal batch storage unit 41.

  Further, when withdrawing the bar A, the bar A is taken out from the bar storage units 39a and 39b one by one based on the withdrawal data, and paid out to the bar withdrawal port 40.

  For example, when the bar A is taken out from the first bar metal storage unit 39a, the denomination bar tray 38 withdrawing from the first bar metal storage unit 39a is moved from the rear storage position to the front delivery position. It moves, the bar metal conveyor belt 46 rotates forward, and the bar metal support part 49 scoops up and takes out one bar metal A in the front row. When a plurality of bars A of the same denomination are to be withdrawn, the bar tray 38 is positioned at the delivery position as it is, and is picked up and taken out by the subsequent bar support 49. When the necessary number of bars A are removed, the bar tray 38 is returned from the front delivery position to the rear storage position. When there is another denomination, the bar A is taken out by the same operation.

  The bar A conveyed to the upper part by the bar metal conveying belt 46 of the first bar metal conveying part 42a is conveyed from the opposite surface side 46a to the opposite surface side 46b through the upper guide 50, and the first metal rod outlet 40 has a first one. The bar is received in the bar receiving area 61a. The number of bars A received in the first bar receiving area 61a is monitored by the detecting means 82.

  If the number of bars A received in the first bar receiving area 61a reaches a preset number and the detection means 82 detects fullness, the first bar metal transport unit 42a that has detected fullness causes the first The bar A taken out from the bar metal storage part 39a is transferred to the second bar metal transport part 42b which is not detected to be full via the bar metal delivery part 43, and the bar is transferred by the second bar metal transport part 42b. It is made to receive in the 2nd metal-bar receiving area | region 61b of the money withdrawal port 40. FIG. Therefore, even when the first bar receiving area 61a is full, a large amount of the bar A can be taken out and withdrawn at a time from the first bar storing part 39a without interrupting the withdrawal process.

  Similarly, when the bar A is taken out from the second bar metal storage part 39b, similarly, if the first bar metal receiving area 61a for receiving the bar A is filled by the second bar metal transport part 42b. The first metal bar that has not been detected to be full via the bar metal delivery unit 43, the bar A taken out from the second metal bar storage unit 39b by the second bar metal transport unit 42b that has detected full. The material is delivered to the transport unit 42a, and is received in the first bar metal receiving region 61a of the bar metal dispensing port 40 by the first bar metal transport unit 42a. Therefore, even if the second bar receiving area 61b is full, a large amount of bar A can be taken out and withdrawn from the second bar storing part 39b at a time without interrupting the withdrawal process.

  In addition, when an unillustrated extension bar storage part for storing the bar A in the side part of the machine body 12 is added, it is mutually connected to the extension bar metal storage part through the lateral transfer part 33. A is configured to be transportable.
