  Since the coin processing device configured in this manner has the packaging part 17 disposed in the lower area in the machine body 11, and the coin storage and feeding part 14 and the bar metal storage and delivery part 18 are disposed in the upper area of the packaging part 17, this The layout can reduce the size of the machine 11 in the width direction, and further eliminates the need for a route for transporting coins in the coin storage and feeding section 14 upward and feeding them to the packaging section 17. Can contribute.

  In addition, since the coin storage and feeding unit 14 is arranged side by side in the denomination along the depth direction of the machine body 11, the bar metal storage and delivery unit 18 stores a plurality of bar metals 16 side by side along the depth direction of the machine body 11, Even if these coin storage / feeding part 14 and bar metal storage / delivery part 18 are arranged side by side in the width direction of the machine body 11, the dimension in the width direction of the machine body 11 can be reduced.

  In addition, since the coin storage / feeding unit 14 pays out coins from the lower part of the coin storage unit 56 for storing coins and feeds them into the lower packaging unit 17, the coins can be processed in the direction of gravity, and the processing speed can be improved.

  Further, since the bar metal transport unit 19 disposed in the front area of the packaging unit 17 and the bar metal storage and delivery unit 18 can transport the bar metal 16 formed in the packaging unit 17 to the bar metal storage and delivery unit 18, The bar 16 formed by the section 17 can be quickly stored in the bar storage / delivery section 18 as compared with the case where the bar 16 is conveyed in the horizontal direction, for example, and the processing speed can be improved.

  In addition, the coin acceptance processing unit 12 is arranged in the upper area in the fuselage 11, and the temporary storage unit 13 is arranged in the lower area of the coin acceptance processing part 12 and in the upper area of the coin storage and feeding part 14, so that the coin acceptance is performed by this layout. The part 12, the temporary storage part 13, the coin storage and feeding part 14 and the packaging part 17 are arranged in the vertical direction, and the size in the width direction of the machine body 11 can be reduced.

  In addition, the stacking unit 69 of the packaging unit 17 sequentially stacks coins upward and wraps a predetermined number of coins in order to wrap coins sequentially downward and stacks a predetermined number of coins. Compared to the case where the coins are further moved downward and then packed, the space required in the vertical direction can be reduced and the size can be reduced.

  In addition, since the packaging rotary disk 65 of the packaging unit 17 is disposed in the lower region of the coin storage and feeding unit 14, and the stacking unit 69 and the packaging mechanism 70 are disposed in the lower region of the bar metal storage and delivery unit 18, The path for feeding the coins of the unit 14 to the packaging rotary disk 65 and the path for storing the bar 16 produced by the stacking unit 69 and the packaging mechanism 70 into the bar metal storage / feeding unit 18 can be simplified and reduced in size.
