In this case, the operation of taking out the coins from the coin-roll cassette 41 corresponding to them is performed at the same time, and the plurality of support pieces 115 of the coin-roll lift 111 are provided.
A plurality of coins can be simultaneously placed on the coin, and the coins can be sequentially ejected by the operation of the coin-roll lift 111, so that the ejection time can be shortened.

Further, when the ejection is canceled after the coin-roll is removed from the coin-roll cassette 41 to the coin-roll lift 111, the removed coin is performed by performing the above-described coin-roll storing operation and storing it again in the coin-roll cassette 41. Without storing gold in another place and making it unusable for dispensing, it can be used again for the next dispensing, and the storage amount of bar money can be secured.

Next, the dispensing operation of the coin bars removed from the coin bar cassette 41 to the coin bar lift 111 will be described.

First, when a coin bar is taken out by the coin bar lift 111 of the coin bar storage / ejection device 18, the coin bar conveyed upward by the coin bar lift 111 is discharged to the chute 29 at the discharge position B. 29 is a coin-rolling discharge unit 30 through a coin-roll discharge port 30
At the same time as the above-mentioned storing operation,
At the receiving position A, it is transferred to the supporting piece 115 of the coin-roll lift 111 through the coin-roll receiving frame 24 in the coin-roll storing and dispensing device 19, and is conveyed upward by the coin-roll lift 111.

Further, the coin-roll or the coin-roll storing and ejecting device 18 removed from the coin-roll cassette 41 of the coin-roll storing and ejecting device 19 to the coin-roll lift 111.
Is released at the discharge position B of the bar lift 111, is released to the reject lever 32, and is discharged through the coin outlet 38 to the coin-drawing frame.

Then, after the coins corresponding to the ejection command are ejected to the coin-extracting frame 34, the shutter 37 is opened, the coin-extraction port 35 is opened, and the coins ejected to the coin-extracting frame 34. You can take out the money.

In addition, in the coin-roll storing and discharging device 19, the coin-roll lift 111 is used.
When ejecting a coin from the bar, the rotary encoder 127 detects the swing amount of the swing lever 122 that swings according to the outer diameter of the ejected coin, and monitors the outside diameter of the coin, and issues a ejection command. Is determined to be a denomination other than the specified denomination, the reject lever 32 is immediately actuated to receive the coin bar released from the coin bar lift 111, as shown by the chain line in FIG. At the same time, when the reject lever 32 returns to the original state, it is released to the coin-roll receiving frame 24, and when the coin-roll lift 111 is moving, it is held by the shutter 28, and then the coin-roll is lifted. Is stored in the coin-roll cassette 41 of the corresponding denomination, or is transported to the lowermost portion and stored in the storage box 131. Thereafter, the coins of the predetermined denomination for which the ejection command has been issued are ejected from the coin-roll cassette 41 again.

As described above, the coin-roll storing and ejecting apparatus 19 can automatically store coins in the coin-roll cassette 41 and can automatically extract and eject coins from the coin-roll cassette 41. Even if there is no hassle in storing the coins and the cancellation is made after removing the coins from the coin-roll cassette 41, the removed coins are stored in the coin-roll cassette 41 again, so that the ejected bars are removed. Without storing the gold in a separate place and making it unusable for throwing out, it can be used again for the next throwing out.For example, when it is necessary to throw out from a plurality of bar cassettes 41, The operation of removing the coins from the coin-roll cassette 41 is performed simultaneously, and the coins can be sequentially ejected by the coin-roll lift 111, so that the ejection time can be reduced.

In the present embodiment, only the coin-roll storing and dispensing device 19 is provided with the coin-roll ejecting port 38 for ejecting the coins according to the present invention so that the coins can be taken out of the machine. When the gold storage and ejection device 18 is viewed as a single unit, the coin bar is discharged from the metal bar discharge port 30 provided on the right side of the body 21 to the outside of the body 21, and the metal bar discharge port 30 Is also configured as a coin-roll throw-out port, so that the coin-roll storing and ejecting device 18 also has the components of the present invention.

Further, in the above embodiment, two coin-roll storing and dispensing devices 18, 1
Although the example in which the coin depositing and dispensing machine 9 is arranged side by side in the coin dispensing and dispensing machine 1 is shown, only the coin-roll dispensing and dispensing machine 19 may be arranged in parallel with the coin dispensing and dispensing machine 1 or the coin dispensing and dispensing machine 19 and the coin depositing and dispensing machine 1 And a plurality of coin-roll storing and dispensing devices 18 may be arranged in parallel.

〔The invention's effect〕

According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a coin-roll storing and discharging device capable of automatically storing and discharging coin-rolls,
In particular, even if there is no need to store the coins, and if there is a cancellation after removing the coins from the coin-roll cassette, the coins can be stored in the coin-roll cassette and used again. When it is necessary to throw out coins from a coin-roll cassette, coins can be taken out from a plurality of coin-rolling cassettes at the same time and delivered to a coin-roll lift, and can be sequentially ejected by the coin-roll lift. The throwing time can be shortened.
