There are three types of stackers 26, a stacker 26 in which a coin storage section 25 is provided in a lateral width W13 for large capacity (for large diameter and large thickness), and there is a relationship of W11 ⁇ W12 ⁇ W13.
- a coin storage unit 25 having a corresponding capacity can be set, and the capacity of each coin storage unit 25 can be appropriately and effectively used without increasing the size of the apparatus.
- the setting means 74 sets the correspondence between each sorting unit 24 and the coin sorting type, and the coin sorting by each sorting unit 24 to be changed.
- the position of the stacker 26 is changed so as to be replaced with the stacker 26 having the coin storage unit 25 having a capacity corresponding to the type.
- the stacker 26 can be individually attached to and detached from the stacker storage section 46, there is a case where only the stacker 26 necessary for the change may be attached and detached without changing the stacker 26 that does not need to be changed. Good sex. Moreover, when changing the position of the stacker 26, it is not necessary to take out the coins in the coin storage part 25 of the stacker 26, and the stacker 26 can be moved while the coins are stored in the coin storage part 25. Workability is good.
- the width varies depending on the type of the stacker 26, when the stackers 26 are stored in any position of the stacker storage unit 46, the sorting units 24 of the deposit transport unit 22 positioned above the stacker storage unit 46 If the positional relationship is set such that the coin storage unit 25 of each stacker 26 is positioned below, the coins selected by each selection unit 24 can be received in the coin storage unit 25 of each stacker 26.
- the stacker 26 is not limited to a mode in which the main unit 14 is pulled out of the frame 13 and the stacker 26 is attached or detached, and a door is provided on the left side surface of the frame 13 so that the door can be opened and closed.
- the stacker 26 may be attached or detached, or an opening for exposing the stacker 26 may be provided on the left side surface of the frame 13, and the stacker 26 may be attached or detached directly from the opening.
- the stacker 26 is not limited to being attached to and detached from the left side surface of the main unit 14, and depending on the mechanism of the main unit 14, for example, the stacker 26 may be attached or detached from the upper surface or the rear surface of the main unit 14.
- the stacker 26 is not limited to the aspect in which the coin storage part 25 and the discharge mechanism 51 are provided integrally, but may include only the coin storage part 25, and the discharge mechanism 51 may be provided on the main unit 14 side.
- each coin storage unit 25 may be color-coded so that the type can be identified.
- all the coin storage units 25 may be color-coded, or may be color-coded for small, medium, and large capacities. Management can be facilitated by associating the color and type of each coin storage unit 25 with each other.
- such a configuration of the stacker 26 is not limited to a coin processing machine having a depositing / withdrawing function, but can be applied to a depositing machine having only a depositing function or a dispensing machine having only a dispensing function.
- a dispensing machine in addition to the dispensing transport unit 27, as a replenishment function for selecting and replenishing replenishment coins by denomination to the coin storage unit 25 of each stacker 26, a deposit transport unit 22, An identification unit 23, a selection unit 24, and the like may be provided.
- the present invention is used for an automatic change dispenser connected to a POS register, a coin deposit / withdrawal machine for depositing / withdrawing coins, a coin deposit / dispensing machine for depositing coins, a coin dispenser for dispensing coins, and the like.
