Next, a specific action of each operation system will be described.

First, at the start of the morning settlement operation, the operator of the machine carried the empty storage boxes 36, 36, ... Locked by the shutter 38 to the aircraft A and pulled out from the aircraft A from the settlement management office. The storage boxes 36, 36, ... Are sequentially inserted from above into the storage unit frame 7 and loaded.

When the storage box 36 is loaded into the storage unit frame 7, the release rod 61
Enters the storage box 36 from the lower part of the storage box 36, the inclined surface 61a at the upper end of the release rod 61 hits the roller 62 at the lower end of the engagement lever 55 and is pushed away, and the engagement lever 55 moves to the seventh position. When the shutter opening / closing mechanism 40 is movable, the shutter opening / closing mechanism 40 can be moved by rotating the shutter opening / closing mechanism to the posture shown by the chain line in FIG.

After all the storage boxes 36 have been loaded into the storage frame 7,
The storage frame 7 is pushed into the machine A and positioned at the loading position. At that time, the switch SW ₃ is switched to the ON side in the housing frame 7. Before or after loading the housing frame 7 into the machine A, a machine administrator different from the machine operator turns on the power of the machine and turns on the adjustment start key switch of the adjustment apparatus 103. A signal from the switch is input to the control unit 102, and as a result, the solenoid 30 is excited for a predetermined time (time until the next rotation operation of the operation handle 8 is performed), whereby the first unlocking permission plate is generated. 24 is pulled down against spring 27. When the permit plate 24 is pulled down, the switch actuating piece 28 actuates the switch SW ₁ , and the signal is input to the control unit 102. At that time, when the temporary holding frame 5 is located at the loading position of the aircraft A, the switch SW ₂ is in the on state, and the switch SW ₁ is switched on (temporarily switched on).
By inputting the input signal of 1 and the signal of the ON state of the switches SW ₂ and SW _{3 to} the control unit 102, the motor M of the drive unit 63 is started and rotates in the direction of the arrow in FIG. By the rotation of the motor M, the unlocking drive plate 64 first moves to the right in FIG. 10, and the shutter opening / closing drive plate 65 moves to the left in later.
