- Conventionally, a coin wrapping machine holds a predetermined number of stacked coins by three wrapping rollers, supplies wrapping paper while rotating the stacked coins by driving and rotating the wrapping rollers, wraps the wrapping paper around the peripheral surface of the stacked coins, and then moves a pair of upper and lower crimping hooks closer to the upper and lower end faces of the stacked coins and crimps both upper and lower ends of the wrapping paper around the upper and lower end faces of the stacked coins, and accordingly, wrapped coins are formed.
- Generally, the rotation speed of the wrapping rollers and the crimping speed for crimping both upper and lower ends of wrapping paper around the upper and lower end faces of the stacked coins by moving the pair of upper and lower crimping hooks closer to the upper and lower end faces of the stacked coins are constant regardless of the coin denomination.
- There is available a coin wrapping machine which has rotation speeds of wrapping rollers according to denominations and crimping speeds according to the rotation speeds of the wrapping rollers which are set in advance, and is operated at a rotation speed of wrapping rollers and a crimping speed set for a selected denomination when the denomination to be wrapped is selected by a user. By this coin wrapping machine, according to each denomination, coins can be reliably wrapped, and even if coins are polygonal, the coins can be wrapped (for example, refer to Patent Document 1).
- Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent No.
3419670 Fig. 1 ) - However, in this coin wrapping machine, when a denomination is selected, a rotation speed of wrapping rollers and a crimping speed are determined in advance for the denomination, so that depending on the state of wrapping paper and coin variation, wrapping cannot be performed well unless the speeds are changed.
- Even for the same denomination of coins, some users want to neatly wrap, while others want to quickly wrap the coins to improve the process efficiency because neat wrapping takes time, however, these demands cannot be satisfied.

storage unit 82 stores predetermined values such as path widths, rotation speeds of the wrappingrollers 67, and crimping speeds of the wrappingpaper 16, etc., set for the respective denominations. - The
operation unit 14 functions as a denomination selecting unit which selects a denomination of coins to be wrapped, and also functions as a crimping speed selecting unit which selects a crimping speed at which both ends of the wrappingpaper 16 are crimped around the end faces of the stacked coins by the crimping hooks 68. A crimping speed is selected among a plurality of crimping speeds set in advance and displayed on thedisplay unit 13. - As shown in
Fig. 5 , when denominations are A1, A2, A3... Ax, rotation speeds B1, B2, 83... Bx of the wrappingrollers 67 appropriate for the diameters and external shapes of the respective denominations are set. Concerning the crimping speed of the wrappingpaper 16, as an initial value, a constant crimping speed C is set for all denominations, however, different crimping speeds C1, C2, C3... Cx for the respective denominations are set so as to be selected, and the speed C or the speed C1, C2, C3... Cx according to the denomination can be selected.Fig. 5 shows an example in which the crimping speeds C1, C2, C3... Cx are selected for the denominations A1, A2, A3... Ax, respectively, however, this is just an example, and other crimping speeds C1, C2, C3... Cx may be arbitrarily selected. - The rotation speeds B1, B2, B3... Bx and the crimping speeds C1, C2, C3... Cx for the respective denominations A1, A2, A3... Ax are stored in the
storage unit 82. - The
control unit 81 has a function to adjust the rotation speed of the wrappingrollers 67 according to a selected denomination, and adjust the crimping speed of the crimpinghooks 68 to a selected crimping speed. - Next, operations and effects of the present embodiment will be described.
- By selecting a wrapping mode and a denomination by the
operation unit 14, according to the selected denomination, the path width of thepath unit 20, the stackingunit 21, and thewrapping unit 22 are automatically adjusted and set, and the rotation speed of the wrappingrollers 67 is set. - Further, a crimping speed of the crimping hooks 68 is selected by the
operation unit 14. At this time, thedisplay unit 13 displays a plurality of crimping speeds set in advance, and by selecting a speed among these, selection can be easily made. - Coins are put into the
hopper 12 and a start operation is performed by theoperation unit 14, and accordingly, thesupply disk 25 of thesupply unit 18, thecentrifugal disk 29 of thecentrifugal disk unit 19, and the transportingbelts path unit 20 rotate. - Coins in the
hopper 12 are supplied from thesupply disk 25 to thecentrifugal disk 29, and by the rotation of thecentrifugal disk 29, the coins are fed one by one to thepath unit 20. - In the
path unit 20, coins fed from thecentrifugal disk 29 are scraped out by the first transportingbelt 40 into atransport path 33 and transported toward the downstream side in the transporting direction. - Coins transported in the
transport path 33 are recognized by therecognition sensor 48, and normal coins of a denomination to be wrapped are transported to the terminal end of thepath unit 20 and ejected to the stackingunit 21, and stacked in the stackingunit 21. - When a predetermined number of coins are detected by the
recognition sensor 48, the next coin is stopped by thestopper 50, and accordingly, the predetermined number of coins are stacked in the stackingunit 21. - The predetermined number of stacked coins stacked in the stacking unit are moved to the
wrapping unit 22, held between the threewrapping rollers 67, and rotated together with the wrappingrollers 67 that are driven and rotated by the wrappingroller motor 95. - Thereafter, to the portion between the rotating stacked coins and wrapping
rollers 67, the tip end of the wrappingpaper 16 is supplied, and thewrapping paper 16 is wrapped around the peripheral surface of the stacked coins. The wrappingpaper 16 is cut with acutter 70 into a predetermined length during wrapping. - At this time, the wrapping
rollers 67 are rotating at the rotation speed corresponding to the denomination, so that the wrappingpaper 16 can be wrapped around the peripheral surface of the stacked coins at a proper level of tightening. - Thereafter, the
cam shaft 73 is rotated by thecam shaft motor 96 and a crimping operation for crimping the wrappingpaper 16 is started. When thecam shaft 73 starts rotating from a fixed position, the pair of upper and lower crimpinghooks 68 move closer to each other, and crimp the upper and lower end portions of the wrappingpaper 16 around the upper and lower end faces of the stacked coins, and accordingly, wrapped coins are formed. Thereafter, the pair of upper and lower crimpinghooks 68 move away from each other and return to the initial positions, and thecam shaft 73 rotates by 360 degrees and stops. - At this time, the pair of upper and lower crimping
hooks 68 crimp the upper and lower end portions of the wrappingpaper 16 around the upper and lower end faces of the stacked coins at a selected crimping speed. - Therefore, for example, as shown in
Fig. 5 , when the crimping speed of the denomination A1 is the crimping speed C as the initial value, the movement degree of crimping hooks is slightly smaller and neat wrapping is possible, however, when quick wrapping is demanded, by selecting a crimping speed C1 higher than the crimping speed C by theoperation unit 14, a proper movement degree of crimping hooks for satisfying the demand can be set. On the other hand, when the crimping speed of the denomination Ax is the crimping speed C as the initial value, the movement degree of crimping hooks becomes slightly larger, so that crimping is easily canceled, and therefore, when neat wrapping is demanded, by selecting a crimping speed Cx slower than the crimping speed C by theoperation unit 14, a proper movement degree of crimping hooks for satisfying the demand can be set. - The wrapped coins prepared by the
wrapping unit 22 are ejected downward and dispensed to the wrappedcoin dispensing unit 15. - Thus, the rotation speed of the wrapping
rollers 67 is adjusted according to a denomination, however, the crimping speed of the crimping hooks 68 is adjusted to a crimping speed arbitrarily selected regardless of the rotation speed of the wrappingrollers 67, so that reliable wrapping is possible according to the state of the wrappingpaper 16 and coin variation, and the various demands for the same denomination such as the demand for neat wrapping as well as the demand for quick wrapping to improve efficiency in process can be satisfied. - Moreover, a crimping speed is selected among a plurality of crimping speeds set in advance and displayed on the
display unit 13, so that selection can be easily made. - The present invention is applicable to coin wrapping machines which wrap a predetermined number of stacked coins.
