Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] a. Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a coin packaging machine, and in particular, the present invention relates to a coin packaging machine, and in particular, it is extremely simple and does not cause coin jams by closely arranging a certain amount of coins in a three-dimensional state in the horizontal direction. The present invention relates to a new improvement for quickly aligning and packaging coins using a mechanism that allows for quick packaging of coins.

b. Prior Art There are various coin wrapping machines of this kind that have been used in the past, and a typical configuration among them is shown in FIGS. 9 and 10.

That is, the coins 2 supplied from the coin rotating plate 1 in the hopper section by a rotating means (not shown)
The designated coins pass through the gap 4 of the coin conveying path 3, and only the designated coins are guided into the coin accumulating tube 7 through a counter formed by the recess 6 of the star-shaped gear body 5. On the other hand, in the coin conveyance path 3, coins other than the designated coins that are sorted by a coin sorting section (not shown) are guided into the removal section 17.

The designated coin guided into the coin accumulating tube 7 is
The coins are stacked on the shutter 8 provided at the bottom of the coin guide tube 7, with the bottom portion being the shutter 8. On the other hand, a plurality of wrapping rollers 9 and 10 are provided at the lower part of the coin stacking tube 7 and are vertically independent and rotatable, and the wrapping rollers 9 and 10 are movable relative to each other. By doing so,
The coin wrapping section 11 is formed by a hollow section. Therefore, when the coins are stacked on the shutter 8, the coin holder 12, which is located inside the coin packaging section 11 and is arranged to move up and down, rises to a position directly below the shutter 8. After that,
By opening the shutter 8, the stacked coins fall onto the coin holder 12.

Next, when the coin holder 12 starts its downward movement and the coin is located in the coin wrapping section 11, the wrapping rollers 9 and 10, which had previously formed the coin wrapping section 11 in a wide space, move toward each other. The coin packaging section 11 moves in the direction of narrowing the space width, changing the coin wrapping section 11 from a wide space state for introducing coins to a narrow space state for holding coins.

Thereafter, the laminated coins guided into the coin wrapping section 11 and sandwiched by the wrapping rollers 9 and 10 are fed out by a feeding mechanism (not shown), and the wrapping paper 13 is fed out by a feeding mechanism (not shown), and the wrapping paper 13 is fed out by a feeding mechanism (not shown).
By introducing the packaging rollers 9 and 1 between
As the arm 18 and 19 rotate, the wrapping paper 13 is wrapped around it, and then, as the arms 18 and 19 move, the claw member 18 at the tip end is wrapped around the wrapped paper 13.
Packaging is performed by squishing the package inward with the aids a and 19a.

c Problems to be Solved by the Present Invention However, in the above conventional configuration, the designated coins conveyed from the star-shaped gear body 5 are further conveyed by the conveyor belt 15 guided by the rollers 14. , the coin accumulating tube 7 via a guide member 16 disposed on the coin accumulating tube 7.
However, in this case, coins may be inserted upside down like coin 2', and if this happens, the predetermined number of coins will not be stacked and it will be difficult to take them out. This involved extremely complicated labor and time loss.

Therefore, in order to avoid the above-mentioned burden of unfairness,
Depending on the denomination, a means for switching the accumulating tube according to the coin diameter, or a complicated accumulating tube composed of divided pieces so that the inner diameter can be changed according to the coin diameter, or Since it is necessary to use various means such as a structure that detects the topmost coin position by optical means or the like and determines whether there is an inverted coin, the structure of the coin wrapping machine itself becomes extremely complicated.
This required a large amount of cost.

Furthermore, although it is not shown in the drawings, the mechanism for guiding and transferring the stacked coins from the stacking tube to the coin wrapping section consisting of the space between each wrapping roller has an extremely complicated structure, which prevents the aforementioned stacking irregularities. In addition to various countermeasures, the structure of the coin wrapping machine has become more complicated, the entire mechanism has become larger, and the cost has increased.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems.In particular, by closely arranging a certain amount of coins horizontally in a standing position, the present invention prevents coin jams and is extremely simple. It is an object of the present invention to provide a coin packaging machine for quickly aligning and packaging coins using a mechanism.

Next, the process of stacking and packaging coins in the above configuration will be described in detail.

The coins 20a supplied from the hopper 20 onto the rotary plate 22 enter the notch 21 of the rotary plate 22, enter the coin guide passage 24 one by one, and the coin sorting opening 25 separates out different denominations. Only the designated coins to be packaged are counted by the star-shaped gear 2.
6.

When a predetermined number of coins 20a pass through this star gear 26, the stopper wheel 3
3 is moved upward via the arm 34 by the operation of the second solenoid SOL2, the rotation of the star gear 26 is locked, and the subsequent coins 20a are prevented from passing, and a predetermined number of coins 20a are The coins are fed into each spiral groove 31 of the coin feeding member 30 in a substantially upright state.

In this case, the coin sending member 30 is biased in the direction of arrow F by the spring member 62, and the coin 20a with the spiral groove 31 on the rightmost side of the coin sending member 30 has one side attached to the transfer receiving plate 32. The coin is transferred to the left side of the coin feeding member 30 in an upright state. In the above-mentioned state, the coin 20a that cannot enter the spiral groove 31 and rides on the protrusion 31a is held between the rollover prevention plate 53 and the right side plate 23a of the coin guide passage 23 by its upper part. Therefore, it is accommodated in the next rotating helical groove 31.

Further, the coins that are continuously transferred to the left side in contact with the spiral groove 31 and the transfer receiving plate 32a are placed on the surface of the coin receiving plate 32, which is attached with one end of the transfer receiving plate 32a parallel to the lower position.

In this case, the left end 3 of the coin feeding member 30
0f is in contact with this coin stopper plate 32b, but since this coin feeding member 30 is reciprocatingly operated by the action of the single-sided cam 61 and the protrusion 59a,
The occurrence of the gap between the coin retaining plate 32b and the left end portion 30f during coin insertion is repeated. Therefore, as shown at A in FIG. 3, the coin 20a transferred at the beginning enters this gap from the end of the spiral groove 31 and falls downward until it contacts the shaft 29 and the coin receiving plate 32. A predetermined number of coins 20a are aligned between the coin stopper plate 32b and the coin feeding member 30. Note that the left end portion 32c of the transfer receiving plate 32a
is adjusted in conjunction with the designation of the denomination on the coin selection designation board 27 so that a predetermined number of coins 20a are located slightly away from the right end of the aligned coin row.

When the alignment of a predetermined number of coins is completed and the coin feeding member 30 is pushed to the maximum right side in FIG. The state in which the coin feeding member 30 returns to the left side in FIG. 3 is detected by the limit switch LS2.
Each limit switch LS3 and LS2 is operated by an arm 30g provided at the right end of the coin feeding member 30.

Next, the operation of the coin wrapping section 39 will be explained in detail with reference to FIGS. 4 to 6.

As mentioned above, at the time when the predetermined number of coins 20a finish aligning, the moving roller 36 moves to the fifth position.
It has descended to the waiting position shown as A in the figure, and when the signal to complete the alignment is issued from limit switch LS3,
The fifth solenoid SOL5 shown in FIG. 7 operates,
The engagement of the coin receiving plate 32 with the catch 64 is released, the coin receiving plate 32 rotates clockwise under the weight of the coin 20a, and the aligned bar-shaped coins H are moved to the transfer position indicated by the reference numeral 39a in FIG. 5, that is, roller 36,3
7 and 38.
The aligned bar-shaped coins H are separated from the coin stopper plate 32b of the coin receiving plate 32 and the left end 32c of the transfer receiving plate 32a.
Since both sides are held between the two, it moves to the transfer position 39a without falling over, and enters between the pair of holding fittings 83 and 84 shown in FIG.

Further, when the packaging motor M3 is driven in this state, each arm 67 that comes into contact with the cam surface 66 is rotated by the cam 65 that moves the moving roller 36 up and down.
As shown in FIG. 6, the movable roller 36 is pushed upward via a, 67b, and 67c, and returns to a position where it can be packaged. Therefore, the aligned bar-shaped coins H are held by the moving roller 36 together with the upper roller 37 and the lower roller 38.

In the above-mentioned state, the upper roller 37 and the lower roller 38 are rotated clockwise by the driving of the wrapping motor M3, so the clamped bar-shaped coin H rotates counterclockwise, and the moving roller 36 returns to the wrapping position. When rising and returning, the coin receiving plate 32 is pushed upward and engaged with the stopper 64 to reset it to its original state, while each holding piece of the clamping fittings 83 and 84 is held down via a cam (not shown). 83a and 84a are pressed inward, and the bar-shaped coin H is firmly sandwiched from the left and right sides.

Simultaneously with the driving of the packaging motor M3, the third solenoid SOL3 shown in FIG.

When the tip of the wrapping paper 49 reaches the tangent between the lower roller 38 and the bar-shaped coin H, the third solenoid SOL3
The operation retention of is released, and the first and second bevel gears 68,
68a is uncoupled. At the same time, the fourth solenoid SOL4 is activated to lock the rotation of the roller 71.

Further, the wrapping paper 49 held between the lower roller 38 and the bar-shaped coin H is pulled out while being guided by the guide body 74 along the rotating bar-shaped coin H, but the rear of the wrapping paper 49 is roller 7
0 and 71 and stretched backwards, and is cut by a cutter 50 disposed downward at approximately the center thereof.

The length of this wrapping paper 49 is determined by the denomination switching lever 76.
The position of the cutter 50 is set to be changed by a forward/backward bar 78 that engages a cam 77 that moves back and forth in conjunction with the denomination switching lever 76.
moves, the cutter 50 moves left and right via the connecting bar 79, and the wrapping paper 49 of the length required for wrapping coins of the designated denomination is supplied.

The bar-shaped coin H wrapped with the wrapping paper 49 as described above is further secured to the crimping claw mechanism 80 shown in FIG.
Both ends of the wrapping paper 49 wound around the periphery of the bar-shaped coin H rotating together with the rollers 36, 37 and 38 are sealed at both ends by the rollers 36, 37 and 38. It is located inside the pair of crimping claws 45. The winding cam 4
The shaft 47 of 8 is slowly rotated by a cam 65 (described later) (for example, about 1/30 of the rotational speed of each of the rollers 36, etc.)
When the rotation of the cam 48 starts, the base 46 comes into contact with the left and right cam surfaces 48a, 48b of the retracting cam 48, and the crimping pawl holding metal fittings 42, 43, which are pulled inward by the spring 41, move as the shaft 47 rotates. Side 4
By sliding 8a and 48b, each shaft 40a
and 40b, and both ends of the wrapping paper 49 are crushed by the respective crimping claws 45 and rolled inward, thereby completing a bar-shaped wrapped coin with both ends closed. .

The shaft 40a moves in the direction of arrow J according to the designated denomination coin diameter by the denomination switching lever 76, but since the shaft 40b is fixed to the frame 57, the crimping claw holding fitting 42, 43 shaft hole 4
6a is formed in the shape of a long hole so that the contact state between the base 46 and the winding cam 48 can be adjusted.

During the above-mentioned packaging process, the pin 67d of the arm 67c that contacts the cam 65 for moving the moving roller 36 up and down is in contact with the convex portion 65a of the cam 65 as shown in FIG. At the same time, the cam 65 rotates and comes into contact with the recess 65b of the cam 65. Therefore, the moving roller 36 quickly descends and returns to the waiting position. At the same time, the clamps 83 and 84 are opened on both sides, and the wrapped bar-shaped coin H climbs over the moving roller 36 and rolls down toward you.
The user is guided to a packaged coin storage section (not shown). Further, as the moving roller 36 descends, a limit switch LS4 (not shown) is activated to close its circuit, and the driving of the packaging motor M3 is stopped.

The above description of the operation concludes the explanation of the mechanical operation, but next, the electrical operation of the coin wrapping machine will be explained with reference to the block diagram shown in FIG.

When a starting operation is performed in the operating section 90, the first motor M1 that drives the rotary plate 22 that feeds out mixed coins or single denomination coins starts.

Motor M2 is also started. Next, when a predetermined number of coins pass through the counting section 91, a preset end signal is input to the control section 92 by the operation of a limit switch LS1 (not shown), which causes the second solenoid to
SOL2 operates, and the stopper wheel 33 moves to the star gear 2.
6 is prevented from rotating, the passage of coins is stopped, and the driving of the first motor M1 is stopped.

When all of the predetermined number of coins from the counter 91 are lined up at the waiting position on the coin receiving plate 32, the coin feeding member 30 moves to the right while slidingly rotating the shaft 29, and the end member 30b of the coin feeding member 30 moves to the right. The arm 30g provided in comes into contact with the limit switch LS3,
The alignment completion signal is applied to the control section 92. Therefore, the fifth solenoid SOL5 is activated, the coin receiving plate 32 rotates clockwise, and the bar-shaped coin H is transferred to each roller 3.
6, 37, and 38, then the third packaging motor M3 starts driving, and the third solenoid
When the SOL3 is activated, the first bevel gear 68 and the second bevel gear 68a are engaged, and the guide roller mechanism 51 is driven, so that the wrapping paper 49 is fed out. The delivery of the wrapping paper 49 is automatically stopped after the required length has been delivered by the operation of the fourth solenoid SOL4 under time control. After the wrapping is completed, the moving roller 36 descends and a wrapping completion signal is sent to the control unit 92, and the third motor M3
drive is stopped.

During the above-mentioned packaging process, when the coin guide 30 returns to the left and is reset, an acceptance OK signal is applied to the control unit 92 by the operation of the limit switch LS2, and the driving of the first motor M1 is immediately resumed. At the same time, the second solenoid SOL2 of the counting section 91 is activated to release the stopper wheel 33 from blocking the rotation of the star gear 26, and the coin sending, sorting, counting, and transfer alignment are restarted, and the above-mentioned operations are resumed. By repeating the process, a series of steps from coin delivery to packaging can be automatically repeated.
