As a result, the first bar B, which was once held on the gate body 271 by the left bar holding portion 291 and the right bar holding section 292, is now in the open position of the left bar holding section 291 and the right. It passes through the Climbing Gold Holding Section 292 and is transported to and stored in the Climbing Gold Withdrawal Section 123.

After the first bar B has passed, the left bar holding portion 291 and the right bar holding section 292 of the bar stabilizing portion 232, which have been arranged in the open position until then, are the left biasing section 293 and the right biasing section. By the urging force of 294, it is rotated toward the closing direction (the side of the bar metal conveying portion 121) and is arranged from the open position to the closed position.

(Step S5)
After that, when the control unit 67 detects that all the coins B scheduled to be transported to the coin-roll withdrawal unit 123 have been transported to the coin-roll withdrawal unit 123 and stored, the control unit 67 drives the gate opening / closing unit (not shown). Then, the withdrawal gate portion 134 is rotated in the closing direction (climbing gold withdrawal portion 123 side), and is arranged from the open position to the closed position.

<Effect>
Next, the effect of the Climbing Gold Processing Device 10 of the present embodiment will be described.

According to the Climbing Gold Processing Device 10 of the present embodiment, the Climbing Gold Stabilizing Unit 232 is in contact with the Climbing Gold B guided to the Climbing Gold Withdrawal Unit 123 by the withdrawal gate unit 134. The momentum of the coin-roll B guided to the withdrawal unit 123 can be suppressed. Therefore, the posture of the Climbing Gold B does not easily collapse, and the Climbing Gold B can be conveyed to the Climbing Gold Withdrawal Unit 123 while maintaining the posture properly. Therefore, when the Climbing Gold B is transported to the Climbing Gold Withdrawal Unit 123, it can be transported more stably and reliably. Further, it is possible to buffer the impact applied from the bar B to the coin withdrawal unit 123 and the shock applied to the coin itself. Further, it is possible to suppress noise when the Climbing Gold B is stored in the Climbing Gold Withdrawal Unit 123.

Further, the Climbing Gold Stabilizing Unit 232 is a crosspiece near the uppermost portion of the conveying belt 158 when the Climbing Gold B (1 yen Climbing Gold) transported by the Climbing Gold Transporting Unit 121 is transported to the Climbing Gold Withdrawal Unit 123. When the Climbing Gold B supplied from 172 is guided to the Climbing Gold Withdrawal Unit 123 via the withdrawal gate portion 134, the Climbing Gold B is temporarily held, and the Climbing Gold B is withdrawn by the Climbing Gold 172. When pushed toward the gold portion 123, the coin B is conveyed to the coin-roll withdrawal unit 123. Therefore, the Climbing Gold Stabilizing Unit 232 temporarily holds the Climbing Gold B guided to the Climbing Gold Withdrawal Unit 123 by the withdrawal gate unit 134, so that the Climbing Gold B supplied so as to fall from the crosspiece 172 has its momentum. It is possible to prevent the coins from being transported to the coin-roll withdrawal unit 123 as they are. Therefore, even if the posture of the coin-roll B is out of order, it can be corrected. Further, the posture of the Climbing Gold B does not easily collapse, and the Climbing Gold B can be conveyed to the Climbing Gold Withdrawal Unit 123 while maintaining the posture. Therefore, when the Climbing Gold B is transported to the Climbing Gold Withdrawal Unit 123, it can be transported more stably and reliably. Further, it is possible to cushion the impact applied from the bar B to the coin withdrawal unit 123 and the shock applied to the coin itself. Further, it is possible to suppress noise when the Climbing Gold B is stored in the Climbing Gold Withdrawal Unit 123.

Further, the Climbing Gold Stabilizing Section 232 has a left Climbing Gold Holding Section 291 and a Climbing Gold Holding Section 292 that can rotate between the closed position for temporarily holding the Climbing Gold B and the open position for allowing the Climbing Gold B to pass through. And a left urging portion 293 and a right urging portion 294 that urge the left bar holding portion 291 and the right bar holding portion 292 to be arranged in a closed position. Therefore, the Climbing Gold Stabilizing Section 232 can temporarily hold the Climbing Gold B guided to the Climbing Gold Withdrawal Section 123 by the withdrawal gate section 134 with a simple structure.

Further, the withdrawal gate portion 134 has an open position for guiding the Climbing Gold B to the Climbing Gold Withdrawal Unit 123 around the gate rotation shaft 133, and a blockage that regulates the transport of the Climbing Gold B to the Climbing Gold Withdrawal Unit 123. The left bar metal holding portion 291 and the right bar bar metal holding portion 292 are rotatably provided around the gate rotation shaft 133. Therefore, the Climbing Gold Stabilizing Section 232 can temporarily hold the Climbing Gold B guided to the Climbing Gold Withdrawal Section 123 by the withdrawal gate section 134 with a simpler configuration.

Further, the withdrawal gate portion 134 is provided so as to be arranged at the upper part of the transport belt 158 when the bar metal B is arranged at an open position leading to the bar metal withdrawal unit 123. Therefore, unlike the conventional case, it is possible to eliminate the falling process in which the bar metal that has slipped off the crosspiece of the transport belt freely falls on the front side of the transport belt, and it is possible to make the posture of the bar metal B more difficult to collapse. .. Therefore, when the Climbing Gold B is transported to the Climbing Gold Withdrawal Unit 123, the Climbing Gold B can be transported more stably and reliably.

Further, since the Climbing Gold Stabilizing Unit 232 comes into contact with the Climbing Gold B when guiding the Climbing Gold B from the Climbing Gold Transporting Unit 121 to the Climbing Gold Withdrawal Unit 123 near the outside of the Climbing Gold Processing Device 10, the Climbing Gold B is generated. The effect of improving the quietness of the bar metal processing device 10 by suppressing the noise to be caused is high.
