Is moved to the front side, that is, the side opposite to the bar metal storage portion 52, and in the first half of the period, the intermediate roller 123 presses the first cam portion 116, and the receiving movement portion 98 is biased by an upright spring (not shown). The end roller 125 is in contact with the second cam portion 117 while the intermediate roller 123 is in contact with the first cam portion 116 in the middle of the tilting axis about the rotation shaft 99. As shown in FIG. 14, the end roller 125 presses the second cam portion 117 and tilts the receiving movement portion 98 to a predetermined tilting position while separating the intermediate roller 123 from the first cam portion 116. As described above, in the tilting period from the upright position of the receiving movement unit 98 to the tilting position, the intermediate roller 123 near the rotation shaft 119 presses the first cam part 116 of the receiving moving unit 98 in the first period, and the latter period, Since the end roller 125 far from the rotating shaft 119 presses the second cam portion 117 of the receiving moving portion 98, even if the rotating speed of the rotating shaft 119 is constant, the receiving moving portion 98 is slowed in the first period of tilting, In the latter part of the tilting, it is tilted quickly.

  Then, when the switching motor 118 rotates in the positive direction by a predetermined angle and returns to the neutral position from this state, the arm member 124 swings rearward to move the intermediate roller 123 and the end roller 125 to the bar metal storage unit 52 side. Contrary to the above, the receiving and moving part 98 comes into contact with the stopper (not shown) by the biasing force of the not-shown upright spring and is positioned at the upright position on the bar metal storage part 52 side.

  For example, the bar take-out units 78 on both the left and right sides have upper limit positions at the same height as the respective standby positions. When one transaction ends, the bar metal extraction units 78 always return to this standby position and stop. Moreover, the bar | burr metal extraction units 78 of both right and left sides move up and down at the same constant speed.

  In the above-described bar metal payout device 10, a case where the bar B is taken out from the payout tray 50 of one target denomination to be taken out of the bar metal storage unit 52 will be described.

  First, the control unit 31 drives the lift motor 90 and rotates the pinion gear 83 to move the bar removal unit 78 from the standby position with respect to the rack gear 82. That is, it is moved to a predetermined position in front of the one withdrawal tray 50 and stopped.

  Next, the control unit 31 rotates the switching motor 118 in the positive direction by a predetermined angle at the start of one take-out operation. As a result, as shown in the state of FIG. Oscillates toward the bar metal storage part 52 side, and the end roller 125 presses the operating plate part 95 to move the bar metal support part 92 against the urging force of the retracting spring to the protruding position on the bar metal storage part 52 side. Make it protrude. Then, the support block 94 of the bar support part 92 is positioned immediately below the bar B at the foremost position of the withdrawal tray 50 to be taken out.

  In this state, the control unit 31 rotates the lifting motor 90 by a predetermined angle to rotate the pinion gear 83 by a predetermined angle, whereby the bar metal take-out unit 78 is placed as shown in FIGS. Quantitative rise. Then, the bar B at the foremost position of the withdrawal tray 50 to be withdrawn is lifted from the leading plate portion 72 of the withdrawal tray 50 by the rising support block 94. As a result, the bar B is released from the restriction by the front plate portion 72, and moves to the bar take-out unit 78 side with the inclination of the upper surface 94a of the support block 94. Then, the bar B is appropriately adjusted so that the position in the left-right direction is within a predetermined range by the pair of guide plates 107, and the receiving portions 110 of the plurality of guide members 108 of the receiving moving portion 98 in the upright position are arranged. It enters the receiving concave surface 110b through the introduction surface 110a and stops. Even if the posture of the bar B is somewhat disturbed during the movement, the posture is corrected so as to be along the left-right direction by the receiving concave surfaces 110 b that are recessed in the arc shape of the plurality of guide members 108. When the bar B at the foremost position is taken out from the withdrawal tray 50, the bar B remaining on the withdrawal tray 50 is moved to the leading plate by the inclination of the bottom plate 70. It moves until it contacts 72.

  Next, the control unit 31 rotates the switching motor 118 in the reverse direction by a predetermined angle. As a result, as shown in FIG. Rocks. As a result, as shown in FIG. 11, the moving end roller 125 returns the bar metal support portion 92 to the retracted position where it abuts on the stopper (not shown) by the biasing force of the retracting spring (not shown). The intermediate roller 123 presses the first cam portion 116, and then the end roller 125 presses the second cam portion 117, so that the receiving moving portion 98 in the upright position is biased by an unillustrated upright spring. Tilt toward the tilting position against As shown in FIG. 14, when the receiving movement unit 98 is located at the tilt position, the receiving concave surface 110 b which has been in a downwardly depressed posture is in a posture along the substantially vertical direction so far, and until then the receiving concave surface. The inclined surface 113a of the movement guide portion 113 that is erected on the opposite side of the bar metal storage portion 110b is in a front-down state, that is, the lower side of the movement guide portion 113 is located on the opposite side of the bar metal storage portion 52. As a result, the bar B located on the receiving concave surface 110b moves the inclined surface 113a to the side opposite to the bar metal storage part 52, and comes into contact with the wide stop plate part 105 of the moving part 114. Thereby, even if the posture of the bar B is somewhat disturbed during the movement, the bar B is corrected and stopped along the left-right direction.

  In this state, when the control unit 31 rotates the vertical belt conveyor 57 of the bar metal transfer unit 55 so that the bar metal take-out unit 78 side is raised, of the placing pieces 56 that the vertical belt conveyor 57 rises. One of the metal rods B stops at the stop plate portion 105 through a space (see FIG. 9) between the receiving side moving portion 98 and the end side extending portions 103 on both the left and right sides of the central extending portion 104. Pick up from below. Since the vertical belt conveyor 57 rotates at a constant speed, the placing piece 56 is empty and receives only one bar B, and does not receive a plurality of bars simultaneously. Then, the vertical belt conveyor 57 conveys the bar metal B toward the bar metal dispensing port 58d and the bar metal discharge port 58e with the guidance of the conveyance space forming unit 58.

  When a predetermined fixed time necessary for delivering the bar B to the vertical belt conveyor 57 has elapsed, the control unit 31 drives the switching motor 118 to swing the arm member 124 toward the bar metal storage unit 52. Stop at the neutral position. Then, as shown in FIG. 11, the end roller 125 and the intermediate roller 123 return the receiving movement unit 98 to the upright position where it abuts against the stopper (not shown) by the biasing force of the upright spring (not shown). Thus, one take-out operation is completed. Note that the time required for one of the above-described extraction operations is constant in each extraction operation.

  Therefore, each of the left and right bar metal take-out units 78 can independently take out the bar B from the plurality of pay-out trays 50, and the left and right bar take-out units 78 can be taken out from the standby positions. Move to one withdrawal tray 50 and remove only one bar B from the withdrawal tray 50 in one withdrawal operation, or take out one of the plurality of withdrawal trays 50. It moves from the gold tray 50 to one withdrawal tray 50 to be taken out next, and only one bar B is taken out from the withdrawal tray 50 in one withdrawal operation.

  Further, the bar metal transfer unit 55 intermittently receives the bar metal B one by one from the bar metal extraction unit 78 and moves it to the bar metal outlets 58d and 58e.

  The bar metal transfer unit 55 and the bar metal take-out unit 78 that receives the bar metal B from the bar metal transfer unit 55 can selectively extract the bar B from the plurality of withdrawal trays 50. A bar metal moving part (bar metal moving means) 140 for moving the gold B toward the bar metal outlets 58d and 58e is configured, and such bar metal moving parts 140 are provided on both the left and right sides.

  When the bar B is taken out from the bar metal storage part 52, as shown in FIG. 5, the vertical direction of the bar metal transfer part 55 that conveys the bar B to the bar metal withdrawal part 63 or the bar metal batch storage part 65 is shown. The mold belt conveyor 57 is rotated in the same direction as the reception of the bar metal B from the bar metal take-out part 77 (the bar metal storage part 52 side is upward). For this reason, when withdrawing a plurality of bars B from the bar storage part 52, the control unit 31 continuously rotates the vertical belt conveyor 57 of the bar metal transfer part 55 at a constant speed. As described above, the placement of the withdrawal tray 50 to be taken out by the bar metal take-out unit 78, the protrusion of the bar metal support portion 92, the rise of the bar metal take-out unit 78, the return of the bar metal support portion 92, The operation cycle of tilting the receiving movement unit 98 to the tilting position, delivering the bar B to the vertical belt conveyor 57, and returning the receiving movement unit 98 to the immediately preceding position is repeated as appropriate.

  In the bar dispensing apparatus 10 according to the present embodiment, the control unit 31 has at least two withdrawal trays 50 of one denomination of denominations for which a withdrawal instruction is issued in one transaction. If there is a plurality of withdrawal patterns that minimize the time required for withdrawal based on the number of bars B stored in each of the withdrawal trays 50, the withdrawal is set. The bar metal moving unit 140 is controlled so as to take out the bar metal B preferentially from the dispensing tray 50 where the time required for the gold becomes longer.

  At this time, since the moving speed of the bar removal unit 78 is constant, the time required to move the bar removal unit 78 from the standby position to the one withdrawal tray 50 and the one output from the standby position. The time required to temporarily stop at least one withdrawal tray 50 on the standby position side relative to the gold tray 50 and move it to this one withdrawal tray 50 without taking a stop time is regarded as the same time. That is, the time loss required for the deceleration and acceleration before and after the stop of the bar take-out unit 78 is ignored as the error range.

  Further, the deviation of the positional relationship between the bar B and the placing piece 56 on which the vertical belt conveyor 57 is placed at the timing when the bar B is taken out by the bar taking-out unit 78 is also within the error range. ignore.

  As a result, the time required to take out the same number of bars B is the last time the bar B is removed from the withdrawal tray 50 in the order from the standby position. If the trays 50 are the same, the same time is calculated.

"First control"
As described above, in the first control, when there are a plurality of extraction patterns whose calculation time is the shortest in the calculation, the bar is prioritized from the withdrawal tray 50 which requires a long time for the payment. In this control, the bar moving part 140 is controlled so as to take out B.

  In the first control, the control unit 31 stores the bar B of one denomination out of the denominations instructed to be withdrawn in one transaction in the two-stage withdrawal tray 50 in the same row. If it is set and the required number of withdrawals of this one denomination bar B can be withdrawn from only one of the two withdrawal trays 50 in the same row, the same row Of the two-stage withdrawal trays 50 in FIG. 1, the stick B is taken out from the withdrawal tray 50 only at the stage close to the bar withdrawal opening 58d by the bar withdrawal unit 78 of the bar moving part 140. It is conveyed toward the bar metal withdrawal port 58d by the gold conveyance unit 55, and withdraws the money from the bar metal withdrawal port 58d to the bar metal withdrawal unit 63. This minimizes the time required for withdrawal.

  When the same storage setting is made, the required number of withdrawals of one of the denominations out of the denominations for which the withdrawal instruction has been issued is out of the two withdrawal trays 50 in the same row. When it is not possible to withdraw only with the withdrawal tray 50 at a level close to the bar withdrawal outlet 58d, and withdrawing only with the withdrawal tray 50 at a stage far from the delivery outlet 58d, the control unit 31 The bar metal B is taken out by the bar metal take-out unit 78 of the bar metal moving unit 140 with priority from only the withdrawing tray 50 far from the bar metal outlet 58d, and the bar metal transfer unit 55 takes it out. It is conveyed toward the port 58d, and is withdrawn from the bar metal dispensing port 58d to the bar metal dispensing unit 63. It should be noted that the bar B is taken out by the bar metal take-out unit 78 of the bar metal moving unit 140 with priority only from the withdrawal tray 50 far from the bar metal outlet 58d, and conveyed to the bar metal outlet 58d. If the required number of withdrawals is the same as the time required for processing, the bar B is taken out from the withdrawal tray 50 at the stage close to the bar metal outlet 58d, and the remaining bar B is removed from the bar metal outlet 58d. It is the shortest time that is the same as the time required for the processing to be taken out from the withdrawal tray 50 at a stage far from the delivery tray and transported to the bar withdrawal outlet 58d.

  With the first control described above, the bar B can be left as much as possible in the tray 50 for withdrawal near the bar withdrawal port 58d. When dispensing less than the remaining number of bars B in the withdrawal tray 50, all the withdrawal of the bars B in the withdrawal tray 50 can be made, reducing the time required for withdrawal of the bars B. can do.

  Hereinafter, the first control will be specifically described by taking as an example a case where storage is set as shown in FIG.

  In the example shown in FIG. 15, in the right-hand bar metal storage section 52 in the same row, a 10-yen coin bar B is placed on the second-stage withdrawal tray 50 and the third-stage withdrawal tray 50 from the top. Is stored. On the other hand, it is assumed that no other 10-yen coin bar B is stored in the withdrawal tray 50. Accordingly, among the withdrawal trays 50 that store the 10-yen coin bars B, the second-stage withdrawal tray 50 is placed at the standby position of the bar metal outlet 58d and the bar withdrawal unit 78. Nearly, the third-stage withdrawal tray 50 from the top is farther from the standby position of the bar metal outlet 58d and the bar metal extraction unit 78.

  When there is an instruction to withdraw ten 10-yen coin bars in one transaction, the control unit 31 has 10 withdrawals of 10-yen coin bars B from the upper right side in the same row. If any one of the second-stage withdrawal tray 50 and the third-stage withdrawal tray 50 can be withdrawn with only one, the right-hand bar withdrawal unit 78 in the standby position is placed in the After moving to the position of the second-stage withdrawal tray 50 from the upper right side, which is near the withdrawal port 58d, 10 withdrawal operations are performed. Ten 10-yen coin bars are taken out only from the tray 50 for withdrawal, and are transported toward the bar withdrawal port 58d by the bar transport unit 55. The money part 63 is withdrawn.

  On the other hand, when there is an instruction to withdraw 10 10-yen coin bars in one transaction, the control unit 31 has 10 of the 10-yen coin bars B required for withdrawal on the right side in the same row. Of the second and third withdrawal trays 50 from the top, it is not possible to withdraw only with the second withdrawal tray 50 that is close to the rod withdrawal slot 58d, and is far from the rod withdrawal slot 58d. When withdrawal is possible with only the third-stage withdrawal tray 50, the right-hand bar withdrawal unit 78 at the standby position is moved to the position of the third-stage withdrawal tray 50 and then 10 times. As a result, 10 bars of 10-yen coins are preferentially removed from only the third-stage withdrawal tray 50 from the upper right side, and the bars are transported by the bar conveyor 55. It is conveyed toward the money withdrawal port 58d, and is withdrawn from the bar money withdrawal port 58d to the bar money withdrawal unit 63.

"Second control"
Similarly to the first control, in the second control, when there are a plurality of withdrawal patterns in which the time required for withdrawal is the shortest in calculation, the second control takes precedence over the withdrawal tray 50, which requires longer time for withdrawal. In this control, the bar moving part 140 is controlled so as to take out the bar B.

  In the second control, the control unit 31 stores the bar B of one denomination among the denominations instructed to be withdrawn in one transaction in the three-stage withdrawal tray 50 in the same row. If the required number of withdrawals of this one denomination B is set in any one of the three withdrawal trays 50 in the same row, and only one can be withdrawn, Of the three stages of withdrawal trays 50 in the same row, the bar B is taken out only from the stage of the withdrawal tray 50 close to the bar outlet 54d by the bar withdrawal unit 78 of the bar moving part 140. It is conveyed toward the bar metal dispensing port 58d by the bar metal conveying unit 55, and is dispensed from the bar metal dispensing port 58d to the bar metal dispensing unit 63. This minimizes the time required for withdrawal.

  When the same storage setting is made, the required number of withdrawals of one of the denominations of the denominations for which the withdrawal instruction has been issued is among the three withdrawal trays 50 in the same row When the withdrawal tray 50 closest to the bar withdrawal port 58d cannot be used for withdrawal, and the withdrawal can be performed only with the withdrawal tray 50 second closest to the bar withdrawal port 58d, The control unit 31 takes out the bar B with the bar bar take-out unit 78 of the bar bar moving unit 140 with priority from only the second-stage withdrawal tray 50 from the bar outlet 50d. The part 55 is transported toward the bar metal withdrawal port 58d, and the bar metal withdrawal part 63 is made to withdraw from the bar metal withdrawal port 58d. It should be noted that the bar metal B is taken out by the bar metal take-out unit 78 of the bar metal moving unit 140 from only the second-stage withdrawal tray 50 from the bar metal withdrawal port 58d and conveyed to the bar metal withdrawal port 58d. Is required to take out the bar B from the withdrawal tray 50 at the stage closest to the bar withdrawal outlet 58d and use the remaining bar B for withdrawal at the second nearest stage from the bar withdrawal outlet 58d. It is the shortest time that is the same as the time required for taking out from the tray 50 and transporting it to the bar metal outlet 58d.

  When the same storage is set, the required number of withdrawals of the bar B of one of the denominations for which the withdrawal instruction has been issued is equal to the number of withdrawal trays 50 in the same row. Of these, it is not possible to withdraw only with the withdrawal tray 50 closest to the bar outlet 54d, and it is possible to withdraw only with the second withdrawal tray 50 closest to the rod outlet 58d. In the case where it is possible to withdraw only with the two stages of the withdrawal tray 50 of the stage closest to the bar metal outlet 58d and the second closest stage, the stage closest to the bar metal outlet 58d and the second The bar B is taken out by the bar metal take-out unit 78 of the bar metal transfer unit 140 from only the second stage of the withdrawal tray 50 close to, and transported toward the bar metal outlet 58d by the bar metal transport part 55. , Withdrawing money from the bar metal withdrawal port 58d to the bar metal withdrawal unit 63. This minimizes the time required for withdrawal.

  When the same storage is set, one of the denominations of the denomination for which the withdrawal instruction is issued is stored in the three-stage withdrawal tray 50 in the same row. In the case where the withdrawal amount of the bar B of this one denomination is the same, the withdrawal tray of the stage closest to the bar withdrawal outlet 58d among the three stages of withdrawal trays 50 in the same row. 50 cannot be withdrawn, and it is not possible to withdraw only with the second withdrawal tray 50 closest to the bar metal outlet 58d, and the stage closest to the bar metal outlet 58d and the second. When it is not possible to withdraw even with only two stages of the withdrawal tray 50 at the closest stage, and when withdrawal can be made only with the withdrawal tray 50 at the farthest stage from the stick outlet 50d, the stick outlet 58d. The bar B is taken out by the bar extracting unit 78 of the bar moving unit 140 with priority from only the withdrawal tray 50 farthest from the bar. Is conveyed toward the in-feed unit 55 coin dispensing port 58d, is dispensed from the coin-roll dispensing port 58d to the coin-roll dispensing unit 63. In addition, the bar B is taken out by the bar extracting unit 78 of the bar moving unit 140 with priority from only the withdrawal tray 50 at the farthest stage from the bar outlet 58d and transported to the bar outlet 58d. The time required for the processing to be performed is at least one of the tray 50 for withdrawal closest to the bar outlet 58d and the withdrawal tray 50 second closest to the bar outlet 58d, and the bar This is the shortest time required for the process of taking the bar B from the withdrawal tray 50 farthest from the money withdrawal port 58d and transporting it to the bar withdrawal port 58d.

  By the above second control, the bar B is left as much as possible in the withdrawal tray 50 at the stage closest to the bar withdrawal outlet 58d and the withdrawal tray 50 at the second nearest stage from the bar withdrawal outlet 58d. Therefore, in a later transaction, the number of withdrawal trays 50 in the second closest stage from the bar outlet 50d is equal to or less than the remaining number of the withdrawal trays 50 in the stage closest to the bar outlet 50d. When dispensing the bar B less than the remaining number and the total remaining number of the withdrawal tray 50 at the stage closest to the bar withdrawal outlet 58d and the withdrawal tray 50 at the second nearest stage, etc. Therefore, it is not necessary to withdraw the bar B from the withdrawal tray 50 that is the farthest from the bar outlet 54d, and the time required to withdraw the bar B can be shortened.

  Hereinafter, the second control will be specifically described by taking as an example a case where storage is set as shown in FIG.

  In the example shown in FIG. 15, 100-yen coin bars B are stored in the fourth, fifth and sixth withdrawal trays 50 from the top in the right-hand bar storage section 52 in the same row. Yes. On the other hand, it is assumed that a 100 yen coin bar B is not stored in the withdrawal tray 50 other than these. Therefore, among the withdrawal trays 50 storing the 100-yen coin bars B, the fourth-stage withdrawal tray 50 is located at the standby position of the bar metal outlet 58d and the bar withdrawal unit 78. The fifth highest withdrawal tray 50 is the second closest to the waiting position of the metallic outlet 58d and the metallic withdrawal unit 78, and the fifth withdrawal tray 50 from the top is the metallic bar. It is farthest from the standby position of the withdrawal port 58d and the bar withdrawal unit 78.

  When there is an instruction for withdrawal of 10 100-yen coin bars in one transaction, the control unit 31 has 10 required withdrawals of 100-yen coin bars B from the upper right side in the same row. When any one of the fourth-tier withdrawal tray 50, the fifth-tier withdrawal tray 50, and the sixth-tier withdrawal tray 50 can be withdrawn alone, the standby position The right-hand bar withdrawal unit 78 is moved to the position of the fourth-stage withdrawal tray 50 from the top, which is close to the right-hand bar withdrawal outlet 58d, and the withdrawal operation is performed 10 times. As a result, ten 100-yen coin bars are taken out only from the fourth-stage withdrawal tray 50 from the upper right side, and are directed to the bar metal dispensing port 58d by the bar metal transport unit 55. It is made to convey, and it makes a bar metal withdrawal part 63 withdraw from the bar metal withdrawal port 58d.

  Similarly, if there is an instruction to withdraw ten 100-yen coin bars in one transaction, the required number of withdrawals of 100-yen coin bars B is for three-stage withdrawal in the same row. Of the tray 50, it is not possible to withdraw only with the fourth withdrawal tray 50 from the top closest to the bar outlet 54d, and the fifth withdrawal from the second closest to the rod outlet 58d. When it is possible to withdraw money using only the gold tray 50, the control unit 31 moves the right-side bar metal take-out unit 78 in the standby position to the second-stage withdrawal tray 50, which is the second closest to the bar metal outlet 58d. After the movement to the position, the ten times of taking-out operation is performed, and this makes it possible to take out ten 100-yen coin bars from only the fifth withdrawal tray 50 from the upper left side. It is transported toward the bar metal withdrawal port 58d by the bar metal transport unit 55, and is delivered to the bar metal withdrawal unit 63 from the bar metal withdrawal port 58d. Make.

  Similarly, if there is an instruction to withdraw ten 100-yen coin bars in one transaction, the required number of withdrawals of 100-yen coin bar B is the right three-tier withdrawal in the same row. Of the gold tray 50, it is not possible to withdraw only with the fourth withdrawal tray 50 from the top closest to the bar metal withdrawal port 58d, and 5 from the top second closest to the bar metal withdrawal port 58d. It is not possible to withdraw only with the second withdrawal tray 50, and only the second stage of the fourth withdrawal tray 50 from the top closest to the bar outlet 58d and the second withdrawal tray 50 closest to the second. If withdrawal is possible, the control unit 31 moves the right-hand bar withdrawal unit 78 at the standby position to the position of the fourth withdrawal tray 50 closest to the bar delivery outlet 58d. After the predetermined number of times of withdrawal operation, it is moved to the position of the fifth-stage withdrawal tray 50 that is the second closest to the bar withdrawal opening 58d. A 10-yen coin bar will be taken out from only the 2nd stage of the 4th and 5th withdrawal trays 50 from the upper right side, and a bar metal transport section will be carried out a predetermined number of times. In 55, it is conveyed toward the bar metal withdrawal port 58d, and the bar metal withdrawal part 63 is made to withdraw from the bar metal withdrawal port 58d.

  Similarly, if there is an instruction to withdraw ten 100-yen coin bars in one transaction, the required number of withdrawals of 100-yen coin bar B is the right three-tier withdrawal in the same row. Of the gold tray 50, it is not possible to withdraw only with the fourth withdrawal tray 50 from the top closest to the bar metal withdrawal port 58d, and 5 from the top second closest to the bar metal withdrawal port 58d. Withdrawal cannot be made with only the second withdrawal tray 50, and withdrawal is also possible with only the second stage of the fourth withdrawal tray 50d closest to the bar outlet 54d and the second withdrawal tray 50 closest to the second. If it is not possible to withdraw only with the sixth-stage withdrawal tray 50 farthest from the rod outlet 54d, the control unit 31 moves the right rod withdrawal unit 78 in the standby position to the rod After moving to the position of the sixth-stage withdrawal tray 50 farthest from the withdrawal opening 58d, the withdrawal operation is performed 10 times. The bar B is preferentially taken out only from the sixth-stage withdrawal tray 50 farthest from the bar metal withdrawal port 58d, and is conveyed toward the bar metal withdrawal port 58d by the bar metal conveyance unit 55. Withdrawal is made from the both-side bar metal withdrawal port 58d to the both-side bar metal withdrawal part 63.

"Third control"
In the third control, the control unit 31 has two rows of the denominations B of one denomination for which a withdrawal instruction is given in one transaction and is equidistant from the bar withdrawal port 58d. Are set to be stored in each one-stage withdrawal tray 50, and each of the one-stage withdrawal trays 50 stores n bars (where n is a natural number) or more of the bars B. If the number of withdrawals required for this one denomination of metal bars B is 2n, divide the required number of withdrawals into n parts and move the n bars B left and right. Each one of the withdrawal trays 50 is taken out by the bar removal unit 78 on both the left and right sides of the bar moving unit 140, and is transferred toward the bar outlets 58d on both sides by the bar transfer unit 55 on both sides. Withdrawing money from both sides of the bar outlets 58d to the bar outlets 63 on both sides. This minimizes the time required for withdrawal.

  In addition, the control unit 31 has the required number of withdrawals of the one denomination of the metal bar B of 2n−1, and is in two rows, one step at an equal distance from the bar metal withdrawal port 58d. When the number of bar stocks stored in the withdrawal tray 50 for storing the one type of bar B is the same, the required number of withdrawals is divided into n and n-1 and divided into two. The bar metal B is taken out by the bar metal take-out units 78 on both sides of the bar metal moving unit 140 from each of the n and n-1 withdrawal trays 50, and the bar metal conveying unit 55 on both sides. Then, it is transported toward the bar metal withdrawal port 58d on both sides, and the bar metal withdrawal part 63 is withdrawn from the bar metal withdrawal port 58d on both sides. This minimizes the time required for withdrawal.

  In addition, the control unit 31 has the required number of withdrawals of the one denomination of the metal bar B of 2n−1, and is in two rows, one step at an equal distance from the bar metal withdrawal port 58d. When each of the withdrawal trays 50 for storing the one denomination of the metal bars B is a different number, the required number of withdrawals is divided into n and n−1, Move one n-piece from the withdrawal tray with the larger number of bars in the withdrawal tray 50, and n-1 from the withdrawal tray with the smaller number of bars. It is taken out by the bar metal take-out units 78 on both sides of the part 140 and is conveyed toward the bar metal withdrawal port 58d on both sides by the bar metal delivery unit 55 on both sides. The money part 63 is withdrawn. As a result, the time required for the withdrawal is minimized, and the withdrawal is performed so that the bars B are left as evenly as possible in the withdrawal trays 50 on both sides of each side. Therefore, in the subsequent transaction, it becomes possible to take out the same as the above from each of the withdrawal trays 50 one by one, and the time required for withdrawal can be shortened.

  Hereinafter, the third control will be specifically described by taking as an example a case where storage is set as shown in FIG.

  In the example shown in FIG. 15, 1-yen coin bars B are stored in the first-stage withdrawal tray 50 in both the left and right bar metal storage sections 52. On the other hand, it is assumed that the one-yen coin bar B is not stored in the withdrawal tray 50 other than these. Therefore, the first-stage withdrawal trays 50 on both the left and right sides storing the 1-yen coin bar B have the same distance from the standby position of the bar metal withdrawal port 58d and the bar withdrawal unit 78. ing.

  When there is an instruction to withdraw ten 1-yen coin bars in one transaction, the control unit 31 is in the first row from the upper left and right sides of the same distance from the bar dispensing outlet 58d in two rows. Under the condition that 5 or more bars B are stored in any of the withdrawal trays 50, 10 bars, which are required to withdraw, are divided into 5 parts by 5 and the 5 bars B are left and right. Each of the first-stage withdrawal trays 50 on both sides is taken out by a bar take-out unit 78 on both sides of the bar-metal moving unit 140, and is moved to the bar-drawer outlets 58d on both sides by the bar-metal transport unit 55 on both sides. It is made to convey toward the bar metal withdrawal part 63 on both sides from the bar metal withdrawal port 58d on both sides. This minimizes the time required for withdrawal.

  Further, the control unit 31 has nine required withdrawals of the 1-yen coin bar B, and is in the first row from the upper left and right sides of the two columns in the same distance from the bar dispensing outlet 58d. Under the condition that 5 or more of the same number of sticks B are stored in any of the withdrawal trays 50, the required withdrawal number of 9 is divided into 5 and 4 and divided into 2 Five and four are taken out from each of the first-stage withdrawal trays 50 from the top of the left and right sides by the bar metal take-out units 78 on both sides of the bar metal moving unit 140, and both sides are taken by the bar metal conveying unit 55 on both sides. To the bar metal withdrawal port 58d, and withdrawing from the bar metal withdrawal port 58d on both sides to the bar metal withdrawal unit 63 on both sides. This minimizes the time required for withdrawal. Note that the left and right may be five.

  Further, the control unit 31 has nine required withdrawals of the 1-yen coin bar B, and is in the first row from the upper left and right sides of the two columns in the same distance from the bar dispensing outlet 58d. Under the condition that 4 or more bars are stored in either one of the withdrawal trays 50 and 5 or more bars are stored in the other, the required number of withdrawals is 5 and 4 Dividing into two, from the first-stage withdrawal trays 50 on the left and right sides, 5 of the withdrawal trays 50 with the larger number of bar stock storage are used for withdrawals with the smaller number of bar stock storage. Four of the trays 50 are taken out by the bar metal take-out units 78 on both sides of the bar metal moving unit 140 and are conveyed toward the bar metal outlets 58d on both sides by the bar metal conveying unit 55 on both sides, and the bar metal on both sides are taken out. Withdrawing the money from the metal outlet 58d to the bar metal dispensing part 63 on both sides. As a result, the time required for the withdrawal is minimized, and the withdrawal is performed so that the bars are left as evenly as possible on the withdrawal trays 50 on each side of each side.

"Fourth control"
In the fourth control, the control unit 31 has two rows of one of the denominations of the denominations instructed to be withdrawn in one transaction, and has a different distance from the bar dispensing outlet 58d. When the storage is set in the one-stage withdrawal tray 50, the required number of withdrawals of this one denomination bar B is stored in this one denomination bar B. All combinations that bisect within the range of the number of stored bars in the withdrawal tray 50 are created, and the time required for withdrawal is calculated for each of these combinations, and the combination that minimizes the time required for withdrawal Of at least one of the metal bars B of the one denomination is taken out by at least one of the metal bar moving units 140 of the bar metal moving unit 140. At least one of the bar metal outlets 58d in one of the bar metal conveying sections 55 Through and be dispensed to one of the coin-roll dispensing unit 63 at least one. This minimizes the time required for withdrawal.

  That is, the movement time from each standby position of each bar metal take-out unit 78 to each corresponding withdrawal tray 50, the number of bars B stored in these withdrawal trays 50, and one by the bar metal take-out unit 78. The time when the allocation of the number of withdrawals is changed in each withdrawal tray 50 is calculated from the time of the winning withdrawal operation, and the allocation that minimizes the time required for withdrawal is selected and executed.

  Hereinafter, the fourth control will be specifically described by taking as an example a case where storage is set as shown in FIG.

  In the example shown in FIG. 16, a 1-yen coin bar B is stored in the first-stage withdrawal tray 50 in the left bar metal storage unit 52, and in the right bar metal storage unit 52, A one-yen coin bar B is stored in a withdrawal tray 50 in the sixth row from the top. On the other hand, it is assumed that the one-yen coin bar B is not stored in the withdrawal tray 50 other than these. Therefore, among the withdrawal trays 50 that store the 1-yen coin bars B, the first withdrawal tray 50 from the upper left side is provided with the bar outlet 50d and the bar withdrawal unit 78. The distance to the standby position is short, and the sixth-tier withdrawal tray 50 on the right side is farther from the standby position of the bar metal outlet 58d and the bar withdrawal unit 78.

  For example, if the required number of withdrawals is 10 and five or more bars B are stored in the first withdrawal tray 50 from the upper left side, the sixth withdrawal tray 50 from the upper right side is stored. In the case where five or more bars B are accommodated, the right-side bar metal take-out unit 78 is moved from the upper right side far from the bar metal outlet 58d to the sixth-stage withdrawal tray 50. The difference between the time and the movement time of the left-hand bar take-out unit 78 from the upper left side close to the bar-drawing port 58d to the first-stage pay-out tray 50 is equivalent to two by the bar-drawing unit 78. When the time is less than the time of the withdrawal operation, five from the first-stage withdrawal tray 50 from the upper left side near the bar metal outlet 58d, and the sixth from the upper right side far from the bar metal outlet 58d 5 are taken out from the withdrawal tray 50.

  In addition, for example, the required number of withdrawals is 10, and 5 or more bars B are stored in the first withdrawal tray 50 from the upper left side for the sixth withdrawal from the upper right side. In the case where five or more bars B are stored in the tray 50, the right side bar extraction unit 78 to the sixth-stage withdrawal tray 50 from the upper right side far from the bar outlet 54d. The difference between the travel time of the left bar metal withdrawal unit 78 from the upper left side close to the bar metal withdrawal port 58d to the first-stage withdrawal tray 50 is 2 by the bar metal withdrawal unit 78. If the time for the withdrawal operation is exceeded, six from the first withdrawal tray 50 from the upper left side near the bar outlet 54d and six from the upper right side far from the bar outlet 58d. Four pieces are taken out from the withdrawal tray 50 at the stage.

"Fifth control"
In the fifth control, the control unit 31 has two rows of the denominations B of the denominations that have been instructed to withdraw money in one transaction and are equidistant from the bar withdrawal port 58d. The one-stage withdrawal tray 50 and the withdrawal tray 50 at a different distance from the one-stage withdrawal tray 50 from the one-of-two-line withdrawal tray 58d. When storage is set and the required number of withdrawals for this one denomination is 2n, divide the required number of withdrawals into n by 2 and When it is possible to withdraw only with the bar B stored in each of the withdrawal trays 50 at the same distance from 58d, one half of the two halves is equidistant from the bar withdrawal outlet 58d. Each of the withdrawing trays 50 is taken out by a bar metal take-out unit 78 on both sides of the bar metal moving unit 140 and both are taken out by the bar metal conveying unit 55 on both sides. The coin is conveyed toward the dispensing opening 58d, thereby dispensing from both sides of the coin dispensing port 58d on both sides of the coin-roll dispensing unit 63. This minimizes the time required for withdrawal.

  When the same storage setting is made, the required number of withdrawals of the bar money B of one of the denominations for which the withdrawal instruction has been given is 2n, and the bar money withdrawal port 58d If you can't withdraw only with the bar B stored in each of the equidistant one-stage withdrawal trays 50, create all combinations that bisect the required number of withdrawals, and make withdrawals for all these combinations. The time required for the gold is determined based on the movement time from the standby position of each bar metal take-out unit 78 to each corresponding pay-out tray 50 and the time taken for each bar metal take-out unit 78. The calculated number of the bar B of the combination that minimizes the time required for the withdrawal of at least the bar metal moving unit 140 from each of the withdrawal trays 50 storing the bar of the one denomination. Either one of the bar take-out units 78 At least one of the bar metal transporting portions 55 is taken out and transported toward at least one of the bar metal outlets 58d, and at least one of the bar metals is discharged from at least one of the bar metal outlets 58d. The withdrawal unit 63 is made to withdraw money. This minimizes the time required for withdrawal.

  When the same storage setting is made, if the required number of withdrawals of the bar B of one of the denominations for which the withdrawal instruction has been issued is 2n-1, this withdrawal All combinations that divide the required number into two are created, and the time required for withdrawal in all of these combinations is set as the time required to move each corresponding withdrawal tray 50 from the standby position of each bar withdrawal unit 78, and The amount of each of the metal bars B is calculated from the time of the extraction operation per bar by the bar metal extraction unit 78, and the number of bar B of the combination that minimizes the time required for the withdrawal is stored in the bar of this one denomination. The bar metal B is taken out by at least one bar metal take-out unit 78 of the bar metal moving unit 140 from the withdrawal tray 50, and at least one bar metal is transferred by at least one bar metal transport unit 55. Small amount through the withdrawal port 58d Even Ku is dispensed either one of the coin-roll dispensing unit 63. This minimizes the time required for withdrawal.

  Hereinafter, the fifth control will be specifically described as an example in which storage is set as shown in FIG. 16 and the bar B is withdrawn from the bar metal withdrawal port 58d to the bar metal withdrawal unit 63. I will explain to you.

  In the example shown in FIG. 16, a 10-yen coin bar B is stored in the second and third withdrawal trays 50 from the top in the right-hand bar storage unit 52, and the left bar storage. In the section 52, a 10-yen coin bar B is stored in the withdrawal tray 50 in the second row from the top. On the other hand, it is assumed that no other 10-yen coin bar B is stored in the withdrawal tray 50. Therefore, among the withdrawal trays 50 that store the 10-yen coin bars B, the second-stage withdrawal tray 50 from the upper left and right sides is provided with a bar outlet 50d and a bar withdrawal unit 78. Are set to the same distance from each other, and the third-stage withdrawal tray 50 from the upper right side is far away from the standby position of the bar metal outlet 58d and the bar withdrawal unit 78. It has become.

  When there is an instruction to withdraw ten 10-yen coin bars in one transaction, the control unit 31 divides the ten required withdrawal amounts into five parts each, When it is possible to withdraw only with the bar B stored in each of the second withdrawal trays 50 from above the left and right sides of the same distance, the five divided bars B are Are taken out from each of the second-stage withdrawal trays 50 by means of a bar take-out unit 78 on both sides of the bar moving part 140 and conveyed toward a bar metal withdrawal port 58d on both sides by a bar metal transport part 55 on both sides. Withdrawing money from both sides of the bar outlets 58d to the bar outlets 63 on both sides. This minimizes the time required for withdrawal.

  When the same withdrawal instruction is given, when withdrawal cannot be performed only with the rod B stored in each of the second-stage withdrawal trays 50 from the upper left and right sides equidistant from the rod dispensing outlet 58d. Creates all combinations that bisect the required number of withdrawals from the number of bars B stored in these withdrawal trays 50, and for the second withdrawal from the standby position of the right-hand bar withdrawal unit 78. Movement time to the tray 50, movement time to the third-stage withdrawal tray 50 from the standby position of the right-hand bar removal unit 78, and second-stage withdrawal of the right-hand bar withdrawal unit 78 Movement time from the tray 50 to the third withdrawal tray 50, movement time from the standby position of the left-hand bar withdrawal unit 78 to the second withdrawal tray 50, and each bar withdrawal unit 78, and the time of the picking-up operation per bottle, The time required for withdrawing is calculated for each of the three withdrawal trays 50, each of which has a combination of the minimum number of bars B required for the withdrawal, and which contains 10 yen coins. Each of the corresponding ones is taken out by at least one of the bar metal moving units 140 of the bar metal moving unit 140, and at least one of the bar metal transporting units 55 through at least one of the bar metal outlets 58d. At least one of the bar withdrawal parts 63 is withdrawn. This minimizes the time required for withdrawal.

  When there is an instruction to withdraw 9 bar of 10 yen coins in one transaction, create all combinations that bisect the required number of withdrawals from the number of bars B stored in these withdrawal trays 50. The movement time from the standby position of the right-hand bar removal unit 78 to the second-stage withdrawal tray 50 and the third-stage withdrawal tray 50 from the standby position of the right-hand bar withdrawal unit 78 Travel time from the second-stage withdrawal tray 50 to the third withdrawal tray 50 of the right-hand bar take-out unit 78, and from the standby position of the left-hand bar take-out unit 78. From the movement time to the second-stage withdrawal tray 50 and the time of the withdrawal operation per bar by each of the bar withdrawal units 78, the time required for withdrawal in all these combinations is calculated respectively. A combination book that minimizes the time required for withdrawal Is removed from at least one of the corresponding ones of the three withdrawal trays 50 containing the 10-yen coin bars by at least one of the bar metal removal units 78 of the bar metal moving unit 140. At least one of the bar metal delivery sections 55 causes at least one of the bar metal withdrawal sections 63 to withdraw money via at least one of the bar metal withdrawal ports 58d. This minimizes the time required for withdrawal.

"Sixth control"
In the sixth control, the control unit 31 is a case where it is necessary to withdraw a bar of the second denomination in one transaction, and one of the denominations in which the withdrawal instruction is given in the one transaction. There are two denominations of metal bars in two rows, each of the trays for withdrawal 50 at an equal distance from the bar metal outlet 58d, and a bar metal outlet in one of the two rows It is set to be stored in the withdrawal tray 50 at a different distance from 58d, and other denominations of the metal bars from the withdrawal tray 50 and the metal outlet 58d at the different distance in the other row. If the withdrawal tray 50 is set to be equidistant, this one denomination bar B is stored in any of the withdrawal trays 50 that store the one denomination bar B. A withdrawal tray 50 for housing the one type of bar B under the condition that more than the required number of bars B is stored, Among the withdrawal trays 50 arranged in a plurality of stages, at least one withdrawal tray 50 is more than the withdrawal tray 50 that houses the other denominations B. When the stage is close to 58d, among the withdrawal trays 50 storing the denomination bars B of one denomination arranged in a plurality of stages in the one row, the other trays are arranged in the other row. One denomination stick only from the withdrawal tray 50 containing the one denomination bar B arranged at the same height as the withdrawal tray 50 containing the denomination bar B The metal B is taken out by the bar metal take-out unit 78 of the bar metal moving unit 140 and is conveyed toward the bar metal withdrawal port 58d by the bar metal transport unit 55, and is transferred from the bar metal withdrawal port 58d to the bar metal withdrawal unit 63. Withdraw money.

  With the above sixth control, the bar B can be left as much as possible in the withdrawal tray 50 at the stage near the bar withdrawal outlet 58d storing the bar of one denomination. Thus, when withdrawing this one denomination bar B within the range of the remaining number of the withdrawal trays 50 near the bar metal withdrawal port 58d, the step near the bar metal withdrawal port 58d. All of the money can be withdrawn with the bar B of the withdrawal tray 50, and the time required for withdrawing the bar B can be shortened.

  Hereinafter, the sixth control is specifically described as an example in which storage is set as shown in FIG. 16, and the bar B is withdrawn from the bar metal withdrawal port 58d to the bar metal withdrawal unit 63. I will explain to you.
