After this, Coins inserted from the insertion port 72d into the second track specification restricting member, Tied to this second rail forming member 72, Via the carrying section 80, Carry it in the opposite direction.  [0130] By the way, By regulating the component 102, Tied to the second rail forming member 72, The coin transported in the reverse direction via the transporting section 80 is detached from the holding section 81, Because the specification restricts the passage of the coin through the curved lower extension 71a of the first rail forming member 71, The coin inserted from the insertion port 72d can be stored in the second rail formation member 72.  [0131] Next, After the specified time, Transport control unit 140, The drive command is given to the conveyance drive motor 85 in the forward direction. Drive the conveyance drive motor 85 in the forward direction, The conveying section 80 is displaced in one of the directions. After this, The coins stored in the second rail forming member 72 can be transported along one of the transport paths HK.  [0132] The holding part 81 of the conveying part 80, Because the pressing surface 82a attached to the bottom portion of the first recessed portion 82b in the pressing member 82 forms an inclined surface 82d, When passing through the curved upper extension 73a of the third rail forming member 73, The track convex portion 73A of the third track forming member 73 is displaced in a state where it enters the first concave portion 82b, With this, The inclined surface 82d becomes a position separated from the rail.  [0133] To this end, Even if two coins are superimposed on the lower area of the reversing roller 90 and pressed by the holding pressing member 82 and carried, As shown in Figure 46, With the inclined surface 82d, The coin can be detached from the holding and pressing member 82. After this, It is possible to suppress transportation jams and the like by the two coins being held between the reversing roller 90 and the transportation unit 80.  [0134] Moreover, In the area above the reversing roller 90, The guide rod 92b of the guide 92, This is because the coin conveying posture is stabilized so that the coin conveyed upward by the curved upper extension portion 73a of the third rail forming member 73 is pressed toward the third rail forming member 73 (rail portion 70) It is possible to prevent the coin from being detached while passing through the curved extension 73a.  [0135] Further, Upper end portions 73a1 of the curved upper extension portion 73a of the third rail forming member 73 With the right end 74a1 of the second left extension 74a of the fourth track forming member 74, Face each other; With such a portion holding portion 81, The track convex portion 73A, which becomes the third track forming member 73, enters the first concave portion 82b holding the pressing member 82, and, Because the track convex portion 74A of the fourth track forming member 74 enters the state of the second concave portion 82c of the holding pressing member 82, The coin pressed by such a holding pressing member 82 is also bent by the upper end portion 73a1 of the upper extension portion 73a. Is carried in a state of being packed with the right end portion 74a1 of the second left extension 74a, There is no risk that coins will be separated from the transport path HK.  [0136] So, In the holding portion 81 that has passed the third rail forming member 73, It is in a state of holding one coin. then, The pressing surfaces 82a of the holding pressing members 82 of the holding portions 81 constituting the transporting portion 80 are inclined. The coin can be stably conveyed while leaning against the outside of the conveyance path HK.  [0137] As described above, In the carrying section 80, In the holding portion 81 of the second rail forming member 72, And the holding portion 81 passing through the fourth rail forming member 74, The posture is reversed up and down, After this, When the track convex portion 74A of the fourth track forming member 74 enters the second concave portion 82c and is displaced, As shown in Figure 47, The inclined surface 82d becomes lower than the upper end portion of the rail convex portion 74A. The holding pressing member 82 can carry the coin securely and reliably.  [0138] Next, If the denomination unit 110 determines the denomination of a coin that has passed the discrimination field, Transport control unit 140, In line with the results of such discrimination, Give a drive instruction to the corresponding sorting drive solenoid 135, This sorting drive solenoid 135 is turned on. The result, The matching sorting gate 132 is rotated around the central axis of the sorting gate shaft portion 132a, The sorting gate action piece 132b is made to enter and exit the conveyance path HK. then, The inclined portion K formed by the sorting gate action piece 132b, After this, Leading to the sorting passage 131 that fits the coin, It can be stored in the coin storage section 5.  [0139] By the way, If the denomination of the coin cannot be determined by the determination unit 110, The conveyance control unit 140 does not give a driving instruction to any of the sorting driving solenoids 135. In this case, All the sorting gates 132 are in a state where the sorting gate action pieces 132b are separated from the conveying path HK. Therefore, the coin that has passed the fourth track forming member 74 passes through the first track forming member 71 as it is and thus reaches the second track forming member 72, Repeat the passage of the above-mentioned conveying path HK, The discrimination is performed again by the discrimination unit 110.  [0140] In this way, in a predetermined action time, When all the coins conveyed on the conveyance path HK have been stored in the coin storage section 5 for each denomination, The conveyance control unit 140 gives a drive stop instruction to the conveyance drive motor 85 to stop the drive of the conveyance drive motor 85. after that, A signal is sent to the coin processing main control unit 200 for the purpose of completing the transfer of coins.  [0141] However, When the above-mentioned operation time has elapsed with coins remaining in the transport path HK, Transport control unit 140, The return instruction was given to the return gate 122, Opening the return opening 121, The coin conveyed in the conveyance path HK is guided to the return opening 121 and sent to the payment section 4, Payment is made from the payment section 4 to the outside.  [0142] As explained above, According to the coin handling device 10b, A carrying unit 80 that can be connected endlessly by one holding unit 81 holding coins, It is displaced along one of the directions along the rail portion 70 constituting the designated conveying path HK having a curved upper extension portion 73a (rising portion) extending in a state bent upward. After this, The reason for carrying the collected coins from the bottom to the top, Compared with conventional coin carriers that have multiple endless belts that are stretched on a pair of rollers to carry coins, The installation area of the coin processing machine 1 can be reduced, After this, The size of the coin processing machine 1 can be calculated.  [0143] Moreover, Carrying guide 92, This is because the coin conveying posture is stabilized so that the coin conveyed upward by the curved upper extension portion 73a of the third rail forming member 73 is pressed toward the third rail forming member 73 (rail portion 70) It is possible to prevent the coin from being detached on the way through the curved extension 73a, After this, It can prevent coin jams during re-transportation.  [0144] Moreover, According to the coin transfer device 10b, When the conveyance control unit 140 inserts a coin into the conveyance unit 80, Displace the carrying unit 80 in the opposite direction for a specified time, After that specified time, Because the conveying section 80 is displaced in one of the directions, It is possible to keep coins inserted from the insertion port 72d in the second rail forming member 72, More coins can be accommodated by the coin detection device 10a.  [0145] Further, According to the coin transfer device 10b, Transport control unit 140, Because the driving force for displacement in one direction is relatively smaller than the driving force for displacement in the opposite direction, the conveying unit 80 is displaced. Suppose that when coins are transported along one of the conveyance paths HK in one direction, they become uncomfortable and become clogged. The conveyance drive motor 85 is driven in the reverse direction to displace the conveyance unit 80 in the reverse direction. With this, The force that can make a coin blocked is greater than the force when a coin is bet. Can resolve the blockage of coins.  [0146] And further, According to the coin transfer device 10b, Fourth track forming member 74, Based on the central axis of the first protrusion 75a and the second protrusion 75b, And you can shake it up and down, When a coin jam occurs in the second rail forming member 72 or the like, The fourth rail forming member 74 can be shaken upward to easily remove the coin that is the cause of the coin jam from the second rail forming member 72.  [0147] above, Illustrates a suitable embodiment of the invention, However, the present invention is not limited to this, Various changes can be made.  [0148] In the above embodiment, The currency detection control unit 60 and the transportation control unit 140 are configured separately. But in the present invention, It may be configured the same as the coin processing main control unit 200.  [0149] In the above embodiment, Although not specifically stated, But in the present invention, A curved portion from the second left extension 74a of the fourth track forming member 74 to the rear extension 74b, Or in the bent portion from the post-extended portion 74b to the second right-extended portion 74c, The projecting height of the track convex portion 74A may gradually decrease as it goes further. Accordingly, Can pass the coins, It depends on the outside of the conveyance path HK.  [0150] Moreover, In the present invention, The curved portion from the first left extension 72a to the front extension 72b of the second rail forming member 72 may be formed. Or the outer portion of the curved portion from the front extension 72b to the first right extension 72c, There is space for storing coins.  [0151] Furthermore, in the present invention, As shown in Figure 48, Between the sorting passage 131 and the coin storage section 5, For example, a vane-containing conveyance roller 160 may be appropriately provided in a rotatable state. By providing such a carrying roller 160, Between the sorting passage 131 and the coin storage section 5, it is possible to prevent the coins from staying.
