  The storage unit 75 is stored in each of the storage boxes 17, 19, and 21 which are preset in the storage boxes 17, 19, and 21 for counting the number of stored coins of each type stored in the storage boxes 17, 19, and 21. Priority setting order of the storage boxes 17, 19, 21 for storing the wrapping coins preferentially among the storage boxes 77, 19, 21 of the money type setting storage number storage means 77 for storing the storage number of the wrapping coins of the money type to be stored Has a function of priority order storage means 78 for storing.

  Then, the control unit 71 sorts and stores the wrapping coins transported by the lift 26 to one of the storage boxes 17, 19, and 21 according to the priority order stored in the priority order storage means 78. At the same time, the denomination storage number counting means 76 counts, and the number of denominations stored by the denomination storage number counting means 76 in one of the storage boxes 17, 19, 21 according to the priority order is stored in the denomination setting. When the number of denominations stored in the number storage means 77 is reached, it has a function of switching to storing of wrapping coins in one of the storage boxes 17, 19, 21 of the next priority.

  The priority order stored in the priority order storage means 78 can be arbitrarily set. For example, the first storage box 17, the second storage box 19, and the third storage box 21 are used. The operation unit 16 is used for setting the priority, and the operation unit 16 is configured as a priority setting unit.

  As an example of the number of denominated wrapping coins to be stored in the storage boxes 17, 19, and 21 preset in the denomination setting storage number storage means 77, as shown in FIG. The number of wrapping coins obtained by wrapping 50 coins of the number of coins of a certain amount stored in large bags used for storage is equally distributed between the first storage box 17 and the second storage box 19. The number of stored items. For example, in the case of a 500-yen coin, a large amount of 2,000 coins is stored in a large bag, and the number of wrapping coins obtained by wrapping 50 of them is 40. Therefore, the first storage box 17 and the second storage It is assumed that 20 pieces are equal to the storage box 19 each. In the case of 500 yen coins, the first storage box 17 and the second storage box 19 can store a maximum of 25 wrapping coins. The third storage box 21 has a number corresponding to the total number of wrapping coins obtained by wrapping 50 coins of a denominated amount stored in large bags, for example 500 In the case of yen coins, the number is 40.

  As another example of the number of wrapping coins of denominations stored in the respective storage boxes 17, 19, and 21 preset in the denomination set storage number storage means 77, as shown in FIG. The number of stored items converted from the weight of the wrapping coin of each denomination is set to be equal to or less than the above. For example, for the first storage box 17 and the second storage box 19, if the predetermined weight is 6 kg, if the coin is a 500 yen wrapping coin, the wrapping coin weight is 350 g. Become. Further, in the case of 1-yen wrapping coins, since the wrapping coin weight is 50 g, the number of storage is 120, but the 1-yen wrapping coins based on the capacity of the first storage box 17 and the second storage box 19 Since the maximum storage number is 55 (see FIG. 8), the maximum storage number is 55.

  In this case, the predetermined weight of the wrapping coins stored in the storage boxes 17, 19, 21 can be arbitrarily input, and the operation unit 16 is used for this input, and the operation unit 16 functions as a weight input means. To do.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 10, when the number of coins to be wrapped is input, the control unit 71 puts the coins into some of the three storage boxes 17, 19, and 21 according to the number of coins to be processed. It has a function to determine whether to store. For example, in the case of 500 yen coins, if the number of processed coins is 1000, the number of wrapping coins is 20, so the wrapping coins are stored only in the first storage box 17 according to the above-described priority order. In the example shown in FIG. 10, since the 500-yen wrapping coin and the 100-yen wrapping coin are less than the maximum number of storable coins in the first storage box 17, they are stored in one first storage box 17. Since there are more yen-wrapped coins than the maximum number that can be stored in the first storage box 17, the two storage boxes 17 and 19 are equally distributed and stored, and the 5-yen and 1-yen coins are stored in the first storage box. Since there are more than 17 and the second storage boxes 19 that can be stored, the three storage boxes 17, 19, 21 are equally distributed and stored.

  In this case, the operation unit 16 is used to input the processed number of coins to be wrapped, and this operating unit 16 functions as a processed number input unit.

  Moreover, even if the priority order of the storage boxes 17, 19, 21 for storing the wrapping coins with priority among the storage boxes 17, 19, 21 is set, the storage boxes for storing the wrapping coins in the individual wrapping process. It is also possible to select 17, 19, and 21 arbitrarily. For this selection, an operation unit 16 is used, and this operation unit 16 functions as a storage box selection means.

  Further, the control unit 71 detects the full detection sensor before the denomination storage count counted by the denomination storage number counting unit 76 reaches the denomination storage number stored in the denomination set storage number storage unit 77. When 72 detects a full state, it has a function of stopping the storing operation of the wrapping coins and notifying by the notification means 74.

  Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described.

  First, a coin wrapping process in a mode in which wrapping from a large bag containing a fixed amount of coins is set will be described.

  The operator places a large bag in which coins are stored on the mounting table 14 of the machine body 11, and loads the coins in the large bag into the insertion port 12 in which the shutter 13 is in an open state in advance. The coin wrapping process is automatically started by detecting that the coin has been inserted into the coin processing device from the insertion slot 12. When a predetermined time elapses after the coin insertion is detected, the shutter 13 of the insertion slot 12 is automatically closed.

  The coins inserted into the insertion slot 12 are separated and conveyed one by one by a coin processing device, and regular coins to be packaged are fed into the stacking unit. A predetermined number of coins are stacked in the stacking section, wrapped by wrapping paper around the stacked coins in the packing section 27, and wrapped in the packing section 27 to the receiving position a of the lift 26 through the chute. Supply.

  A lift part 34 is preliminarily positioned at the receiving position a of the lift 26. The lift coin 34 receives the wrapping coins supplied from the wrapping part 27 on the lift part 34, and the wrapping coins are stored in the first order according to the priority order. In order to store in the box 17, the raising / lowering part 34 is raised and a packaging coin is conveyed upward. The elevating part 34 passes through the second distribution position c and rises to the first distribution position b, and the wrapping coins are distributed from the elevating part 34 to the first storage box 17 at the first distribution position b. And store it. The elevating unit 34 to which the wrapping coins are distributed descends to the receiving position a and prepares for the next transporting and receiving of the wrapping coins. Further, the number of wrapping coins stored in the first storage box 17 is counted by the denomination storing number counting means 76.

  Then, if the number of storages counted by the denomination storage number counting means 76 in the first storage box 17 reaches the storage number stored in the denomination setting storage number storage means 77, the next priority is given. Switch to storing the wrapping coins in the second storage box 19. That is, the lifting / lowering part 34 that has received the wrapping coins moves up to the second sorting position c, and the wrapping coins are sorted and stored in the second storage box 19 from the lifting / lowering part 34 at the second sorting position c.

  The number of wrapping coins stored in the respective storage boxes 17, 19, and 21 preset in the money type setting storage number storage means 77 is, for example, 2000 in the case of 500 yen coins as shown in FIG. Since the number of wrapping coins obtained by wrapping a fixed amount of sheets and wrapping them 50 by 40 is 40, 20 equal parts in the first storage box 17 and the second storage box 19 Yes. Therefore, if 20 wrapping coins are stored in the first storage box 17, the wrapping coins are switched to storage in the second storage box 19, and the remaining 20 wrapping coins are stored in the second storage box 19. Let

  In this way, the number of denominated wrapping coins to be stored in the respective storage boxes 17, 19, 21 is set to the number of denominated coins quantitatively stored in a large bag used for quantitative storage of loose coins. Since the number of wrapping coins obtained by wrapping the number of stored sheets is equal to the number of stored coins stored in the first storage box 17 and the second storage box 19, the first storage box 17 and the second storage box 17 The number of wrapping coins stored in the storage box 19 can be reduced, and the portability of the first storage box 17 and the second storage box 19 storing the wrapping coins can be improved.

  Next, a coin wrapping process in a mode in which a predetermined weight of wrapping coins stored in the first storage box 17 and the second storage box 19 is set will be described.

  The steps from the insertion of the coins by the operator to the packaging and sorting and storing of the wrapping coins in the first storage box 17 by the lift 26 are the same as in the above-described mode and will be omitted.

  In the first storage box 17, the number of storages counted by the denomination storage number counting means 76 is the number of storages stored in the denomination setting storage number storage means 77, and is equal to or less than a predetermined weight inputted in advance. When the number of stored coins converted from the weight of the wrapping coins is reached, switching to storing the wrapping coins in the second storage box 19 which is the next priority is performed. In addition, similarly, the second storage box 19 stores the number of storages counted by the denomination storage number counting means 76 and converted from the weight of the wrapping coins so as to be equal to or less than the predetermined weight input in advance. When the number is reached, switching is made to the storage of the wrapping coins in the third storage box 21 which is the next priority.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 9, the number of wrapping coins stored in the storage boxes 17, 19, 21 preset in the denomination set storage number storage means 77 is the first storage box 17 and the second storage box 17, respectively. When the predetermined weight of the wrapping coins stored in the storage box 19 is 6 kg, the wrapping coin weight is 350 g for a 500 yen wrapping coin, so the number of storage coins is 17. Therefore, if 17 500 yen wrapping coins are stored in the first storage box 17, the storage is switched to storing 500 yen wrapping coins in the second storage box 19. Further, in the case of 1-yen wrapping coins, since the wrapping coin weight is 50 g, the number of storage is 120, but the 1-yen wrapping coins based on the capacity of the first storage box 17 and the second storage box 19 Since the maximum storage number is 55, the maximum storage number is 55. Therefore, when 55 1-yen wrapping coins are stored in the first storage box 17, the storage is switched to storing 1-yen wrapping coins in the second storage box 19.

  As described above, the number of denominated packaging coins to be stored in the first storage box 17 and the second storage box 19 for carrying is determined based on the weight of the denominated packaging coins so as to be equal to or less than a predetermined weight. Since the converted number is stored, the wrapping coins stored in the first storage box 17 and the second storage box 19 are set to a predetermined weight or less, and the first storage box 17 and the second storage that store the wrapping coins. The portability of the box 19 can be improved.

  Next, the coin wrapping process in the mode in which the number of coins to be wrapped is input will be described.

  The operator inputs the number of coins to be processed by the operation unit 16 and inserts the coins.

  When the number of coins to be packaged is input, the control unit 71 determines how many of the three storage boxes 17, 19, and 21 store the coins according to the number of coins to be processed. As shown in FIG. 10, for example, in the case of 500 yen coins, if the number of processed sheets is 1000, the number of wrapping coins is 20, so the wrapping coins are stored only in the first storage box 17. In the example shown in FIG. 10, since the 500-yen wrapping coin and the 100-yen wrapping coin are less than the maximum number of storable coins in the first storage box 17, they are stored in one first storage box 17. Since there are more yen-wrapped coins than the maximum number that can be stored in the first storage box 17, the two storage boxes 17 and 19 are equally distributed and stored, and the 5-yen and 1-yen coins are stored in the first storage box. Since there are more than 17 and the second storage boxes 19 that can be stored, the three storage boxes 17, 19, 21 are equally distributed and stored.

  The operations from the insertion of coins by the operator to the packaging and the sorting and storing of the wrapping coins in the respective storage boxes 17, 19, and 21 are the same as in the above-described mode, and will be omitted.

  Thus, according to the input number of processed coins, for example, when the number of processed coins is small, one of the storage boxes 17, 19, and 21 and when large, the storage boxes 17, 19, 21 are stored. It is possible to appropriately set the number of storage boxes 17, 19, and 21 in which the wrapping coins are stored, such as two or three of them.

  Therefore, according to the coin wrapping machine of the present embodiment, the wrapping coins are sorted and stored in one of the storage boxes 17, 19, and 21 according to the priority order. If the count value of the number of money stored in one of the boxes reaches the number of money stored in the preset money type, the wrapping coin to the next priority of the storage boxes 17, 19, 21 Instead of storing a large amount of wrapping coins until each storage box 17, 19, 21 is full, only the number of wrapping coins that can be easily carried by people is stored in each storage box 17, 19, 21. It is possible to set the storage boxes 17, 19, 21 to store the wrapping coins evenly, and the portability of the storage boxes 17, 19, 21 storing the wrapping coins can be improved.

  Further, in accordance with the priority order, the wrapping coins are stored in preference to the first storage box 17 and the second storage box 19 on the upper side, and the gold stored in the first storage box 17 and the second storage box 19 is stored. When the number of wrapping coins of the type reaches the preset number of storable coins, the upper first storage box 17 is switched to the storage of the wrapping coins in the lower third storage box 21. And the wrapping coin which cannot be stored in the second storage box 19 can be stored in the third storage box 21.

  Further, even if the priority order of the storage boxes 17, 19, 21 for storing the wrapping coins preferentially among the storage boxes 17, 19, 21 is set, in the individual packaging process, the storage box 17 , 19, 21 can be arbitrarily selected from the ones for storing the wrapping coins, and the wrapping coins can be stored in one of the selected storage boxes 17, 19, 21 to improve convenience.

  Further, before the count value of the number of stored money types stored in the storage boxes 17, 19 and 21 reaches the preset number of stored money types, the full detection sensor 72 When the full state is detected, the storing operation of the wrapping coins is stopped, and the notification means 74 notifies the staff. As a result, for example, the wrapping coins were left out when the wrapping coins were removed from the previous wrapping boxes 17, 19, and 21 and the wrapping coins could not be stored because they were full, or the wrapping coins were not aligned and stored. If an abnormality such as the inability to store the wrapping coin occurs, the process can be stopped and notified so that a staff member can deal with the abnormality.

  The storage box is not limited to the arrangement of the first storage box 17, the second storage box 19, and the third storage box 21, but the arrangement of the first storage box 17 and the second storage box 19, One storage box 17 and a third storage box 21 may be arranged, or three or more storage boxes may be arranged.

  In addition, the allocation of the number of wrapping coins stored in each storage box 17, 19, 21 was set by calculating the number of wrapping coins from a large bag for quantitatively storing coins, a predetermined weight, and the number of processed coins. The number of denominated wrapping coins stored in the storage boxes 17, 19, 21 may be set directly.
