The paper feed motor 40 is stopped at the timing when the wrapping paper 14 is sandwiched between the coin 5 and the accumulated coins (at time t5), and the wrapping paper supply roller 36 is stopped. Then, the packaging motor 39
Is driven (at time t6), and the packaging rollers 35, 35, 35
Is rotated to wind the wrapping paper 14 around the accumulated coins, and the wrapping paper is pressed by the cutter to cut the wrapping paper. Then, the cut wrapping paper 14 is all wrapped around the accumulated coins, and the wrapping paper 1
4 is tightened, the packaging motor 39 is stopped (at time t7), and after the packaging rollers 35, 35, 35 are stopped, the cam motor 41 is further driven to continue the packaging roller 3
After 5, 35 and 35 are separated from the packaging coins and the packaging coins are discharged to the chute, the cam motor 41 is stopped at a fixed position which has rotated once from the beginning (time t8). Further, when the packaging coin is discharged and detected by the packaging coin detection sensor 43 provided on the chute 42, it is determined that the coin packaging process for creating one packaging coin is normally completed, and the next coin is collected. In order to start, the stopper is retracted from the transport path 23, and the rotary disc motor 21 and the transport belt motor 25 are driven to bring the rotary disc 20 and the transport belt 24 into a rotating state.

Thereafter, the above-mentioned t0, t1, t2, t3, t4, t
T8, t9, t10, t1 corresponding to time points of 5, t6, t7
1, t12, t13, t14, t15 time points and t16, t1
The corresponding control is performed at each time point of 7, t18, t19, t20, t21, t22, ... And such control is repeated.

In the timing control of the control unit 17 when the silent mode is selected and input by the operation unit 44 described above, the entire drive region of the packaging motor 39 (t6 to t7, etc.).
, The drive stop region of the rotary disk motor 21 (from t2
t8) and the drive belt motor 25 drive stop region (t2 to t)
8 etc.) and the drive stop region of the integrated drum motor 28 (t4 to t)
9) and the drive region (t2 to t8) of the cam motor 41 overlap (that is, control is performed to drive the separating and feeding unit 11, the transport unit 12, the stacking unit 13, and the packaging unit 15 at timings that do not overlap each other. Exist). Therefore, the packaging motor 3
At the time of driving 9 (t6 to t7, etc.), the wrapping roller 3
Sounds generated by driving the gears 5, 35, 35 and the gear group are generated.
1, the operation sound of each mechanism by the drive of 1, the cutting sound of the wrapping paper 14 by the cutter 37, the crimping sound of the upper and lower ends of the wrapping paper 14 by the crimping claws 38, 38.
1. Conveyor belt motor 25 and integrated drum motor 28
No noise was generated due to the driving.

On the other hand, in a region (t8 to t12) in which at least one of the rotary disk motor 21, the conveyor belt motor 25, and the integrated drum motor 28 is driven, a drive stop region (t8 to t10) of the cam motor 41 is formed. The drive region (t10 to t16) and the drive stop region (t7 to t14) of the packaging motor 39 overlap (that is, the timing at which the separating and feeding unit 11, the transport unit 12, the stacking unit 13, and the packaging unit 15 do not substantially overlap each other. It is controlled by. Therefore, in the region (t8 to t12), the sound generated by the rotating disk motor 21 includes the sound of the coins colliding with each other in the rotating disk 20, the sound of the coin colliding with the guide member, and the sound of the friction between the rotating disk 20 and the coin. And a sound caused by the driving of the conveyor belt motor 25, which is composed of a sound of rubbing the transfer path 23 against coins and a sound of a predetermined number of coins colliding between the coins temporarily stopped by the stopper, At least one of the sounds caused by the driving of the stacking drum 28, which is the sound of the coins colliding with each other during stacking, is generated, but the cam motor 41 is almost stopped.
Further, since the packaging motor 39 is in a stopped state, almost no sound caused by this is generated. Then, in the regions t9 to t10 and the like, only the sound generated by coins or the like is generated by the mechanism driven by at most three motors. Therefore, quietness can be obtained.

The above-described normal mode and quiet mode selection switching can be performed at any timing. For example, when the normal mode is switched to the quiet mode, when the counting and accumulating process and the packaging process are performed. The counting and accumulating process shall be stopped immediately and the packaging process shall be given priority.

According to the first embodiment described above, according to the selection operation input to the operation section 44 by the control section 17, the rotary disk motor 21, the conveyor belt motor 25 and the integrated drum motor 28 are selected. Since timing control for changing and controlling each timing of driving and driving of the packaging motor 39, the paper feeding motor 40, and the cam motor 41 is performed, the silent mode is selected by the operation unit 44 in a situation where quietness is required. When an operation is input, the control unit 17
However, since the drive timings of the rotary disk motor 21, the conveyor belt motor 25, and the integrated drum motor 28 are deviated from the drive timings of the packaging motor 39, the paper feed motor 40, and the cam motor 41, the operating noise is reduced. . Further, when a normal mode selection operation is input through the operation unit 44 under a situation where processing speed is required rather than quietness, the control unit 17 causes the rotating disk motor 21, the conveyor belt motor 25, and the integrated drum motor. By overlapping the drive timing of 28 with the drive timing of the packaging motor 39, the paper feed motor 40, and the cam motor 41, the processing speed is increased. Therefore, it is possible to reduce noise as necessary while coping with an increase in processing speed.

In the above, when the quiet mode is selected, the drive region of the packaging motor 39 (t6 to t7, etc.).
And the drive area (t8 to t12) of at least one of the rotary disk motor 21, the conveyor belt motor 25, and the integrated drum motor 28 are controlled so as not to overlap each other.
At least the rotary disk motor 21 and the conveyor belt motor 2
5, the drive area of the integrated drum motor 28, and the packaging motor 3
9. If control is performed such that the drive regions of the paper feed motor 40 and the cam motor 41 are driven at non-overlapping timings, the separating / feeding unit 11, the transport unit 12, the stacking unit 13, the packaging unit 15, and the coin moving unit 16 operate separately. As a result, the operating noise is reduced. Therefore, noise can be effectively reduced as needed.

Next, the second embodiment of the coin wrapping machine according to the present invention will be described focusing on the differences from the first embodiment. In the second embodiment, the rotary disk motor 21, the conveyor belt motor 25, the packaging motor 39 and the cam motor 41 are all variable speed motors whose drive speed is controlled by the controller 17.

Further, in the second embodiment, the operation unit 44 is executed in the normal mode similar to that of the first embodiment in which the processing speed of coin packaging is prioritized, and the quietness of coin packaging is prioritized. A quiet mode based on a control method different from that of the first embodiment, which is executed by the above operation, can be selectively input.

When the normal mode is selected, the control section 17 performs the same control as that of the first embodiment, and when the quiet mode is selected, the rotary disk motor 21, The conveyor belt motor 25, the packaging motor 39, and the cam motor 41 are driven at low speed, and the rotary disk motor 21, the conveyor belt motor 25, the integrated drum motor 28, and the packaging motor 3 are driven according to the ratio of low speed driving.
9. Shift the timing control of the paper feed motor 40 and the cam motor 41.

As described above, according to the selection operation input to the operation section 44 by the control section 17, the rotary disk motor 21, the conveyor belt motor 25, the packaging motor 39 and the cam motor 4 are operated.
According to the second embodiment configured to perform the speed control for changing and controlling the driving speed of No. 1, when the normal mode is selected, the rotary disk motor 21, the conveyor belt motor 2
5 and the driving timing of the integrated drum motor 28 and the driving timing of the packaging motor 39, the paper feeding motor 40 and the cam motor 41 are overlapped, that is, the counting and accumulating processing and the packaging processing are performed in parallel and the rotation is performed. Disk motor 21, conveyor belt motor 25,
Since the packaging motor 39 and the cam motor 41 are driven at a normal speed, a high processing speed can be obtained.

On the other hand, when the quiet mode is selected, the controller 17 drives the rotary disk motor 21, the conveyor belt motor 25 and the integrated drum motor 28 at the same timing as the normal mode, and the packaging motor 39, Timing control is performed by superposing the drive timings of the paper feed motor 40 and the cam motor 41, that is, parallel processing is performed, and the rotary disk motor 21, the conveyor belt motor 25,
Since the wrapping motor 39 and the cam motor 41 are driven at a speed lower than the normal speed, the quietness can be further improved compared to the normal mode.

Next, a third embodiment of the coin wrapping machine according to the present invention will be described focusing on the differences from the first and second embodiments. In the third embodiment, as in the second embodiment, the rotary disk motor 21, the conveyor belt motor 25, the packaging motor 39, and the cam motor 41 are all variable speeds whose drive speed is controlled by the control unit 17. It is used as a motor. In addition, in the third embodiment, the operation unit 44 is changed according to the required quietness other than the normal mode similar to the first and second embodiments in which the processing speed of coin packaging is given the highest priority and executed. Multiple quiet modes that can be performed (quiet mode that requires quietness, quiet mode that requires a little less coin wrapping speed than quietest mode, and quiet mode that requires quieter than normal mode) are selected and input. It is like this. Here, it is assumed that the quietness decreases in the order of the quietest mode, the quiet mode, and the noise reduction mode.

When the normal mode is selected, the control section 17 performs the same control as in the first and second embodiments, and when the sound reduction mode is selected, the control section 17 performs the same control. The same control as the quiet mode of the first embodiment is performed, and when the quiet mode is selected, the same control as the quiet mode of the second embodiment is performed. Further, when the quietest mode is selected, the combined control of the quiet mode of the first embodiment and the quiet mode of the second embodiment, that is, the rotary disk motor 21, the conveyor belt 25, the packaging motor 39, and The cam motor 41 is driven at a low speed, and timing control is performed so as to substantially eliminate the ratio of parallel processing of the counting and accumulating processing and the packaging processing.

As described above, according to the selection operation input to the operation unit 44 by the control unit 17, the counting and accumulation processing by the rotary disk motor 21, the conveyor belt motor 25, and the accumulation drum motor 28, the packaging motor 25, and the sheet feeding operation. Timing control for performing or not performing parallel processing of packaging processing by the motor 40 and the cam motor 41, and the rotary disk motor 2
According to the third embodiment configured to perform the speed control for changing the drive speeds of the conveyor belt motor 25, the packaging motor 39, and the cam motor 41 individually or simultaneously, the normal mode is selected. In this case, a timing control, which is a so-called parallel process, in which the drive timings of the rotary disk motor 21, the conveyor belt motor 25, and the integrated drum motor 28 and the drive timings of the packaging motor 39, the paper feed motor 40, and the cam motor 41 are superposed is performed. The rotary disk motor 21 and the conveyor belt motor 2
5, the packaging motor 39 and the cam motor 41 are driven at a normal speed, so that the maximum processing speed can be obtained.

When the noise reduction mode is selected, the control unit 17 controls the rotary disk motor 21 and the conveyor belt motor 2
5 and the driving timing of the integrated drum motor 28,
Packaging motor 39, paper feed motor 40 and cam motor 41
The timing control that shifts the drive timing of the
Since the conveyor belt motor 25, the packaging motor 39, and the cam motor 41 are driven at a normal speed, the processing speed is slightly reduced, but the quietness can be improved.

Furthermore, when the quiet mode is selected,
As in the case of the normal mode, the control unit 17 superimposes the drive timings of the rotary disk motor 21, the conveyor belt motor 25, and the integrated drum motor 28 with the drive timings of the packaging motor 39, the paper feed motor 40, and the cam motor 41. Timing control (parallel processing) is performed, and the rotary disk motor 21, the conveyor belt motor 25, the packaging motor 39, and the cam motor 41 are driven at a speed lower than the normal speed, so that the quietness is further improved in the noise reduction mode. You can

In addition, when the quietest mode is selected, the control unit 17 controls the drive timing of the rotary disk motor 21, the conveyor belt motor 25, and the integrated drum motor 28, as in the case of the noise reduction mode, and the packaging. Timing control is performed by shifting the drive timing of the motor 39, the paper feed motor 40, and the cam motor 41 (no parallel processing is performed), and the rotary disk motor 21, the conveyor belt motor 25,
Since the packaging motor 39 and the cam motor 41 are driven at a speed lower than the normal speed, the processing speed is the lowest, but the operating noise is the lowest and the quietness can be improved to the maximum. As described above, it is possible to obtain the optimum processing speed and quietness under various conditions.

[0054]

As described above, according to the first aspect of the present invention.
According to the described coin wrapping machine, the control means performs the drive control so as to reduce the ratio of performing the parallel processing of the counting and accumulating processing means and the wrapping processing means in accordance with the selection operation input to the operating means. Therefore, for example, when such a mode selecting operation is input by the operating means under the condition where the quietness is required, the ratio of the control means performing the parallel processing of the counting and accumulating processing means and the packaging processing means is reduced. If the drive control is performed so that the operation sound and the processing sound are reduced. Further, by increasing the ratio of performing parallel processing of the counting processing means and the packaging processing means when such a mode selection operation is input by the operation means under a situation where processing speed is required for quietness. , Processing speed will increase. Therefore, noise can be reduced as needed.

According to the coin wrapping machine of the second aspect of the present invention, the drive speeds of the rotary disk motor, the conveyor belt motor, the wrapping motor and the cam motor are normally set in accordance with the selection operation input to the operation means by the control means. Since the drive control is performed so as to be lower than the drive speed of the control means, for example, when a mode selecting operation is input by the operation means under a situation where quietness is required, the control means is rotated. If the drive speed of the disk motor, the conveyor belt motor, the packaging motor, and the cam motor is controlled to be lower than the normal drive speed, operating noise, processing noise, etc. will decrease. Further, when such a mode selecting operation is input by the operating means under a situation where the processing speed is required for quietness, the rotary disk motor, the conveyor belt motor,
The processing speed is increased by controlling the driving speed of the packaging motor and the cam motor to a normal speed. Therefore, noise can be reduced as needed.

According to the coin wrapping machine of the third aspect of the present invention, the proportion of the parallel processing of the counting and accumulating processing means and the wrapping processing means is reduced by the control means in response to the selection operation input to the operating means. The drive control for controlling the rotation disc motor, the conveyor belt motor, the packaging motor, and the cam motor are performed individually or in combination so as to be lower than the normal drive speed. When a selection operation of such a mode is input by the operation means under the condition where the property is required, the control means is driven so as to reduce the ratio of performing the parallel processing of the counting and accumulating processing means and the packaging processing means. If you control it,
Processing noise will be reduced. Further, when such a mode selecting operation is input by the operating means under the condition that further quietness is required, the control means controls the drive speed of the rotary disk motor, the conveyor belt motor, the packaging motor and the cam motor. If the driving is controlled to be lower than the normal driving speed, the operating noise, the processing noise, etc. will be further reduced. Then, when the mode selecting operation is input by the operation means under the condition where the quietness is required most, the control means determines the ratio of performing the parallel processing of the counting and accumulating processing means and the packaging processing means. If the drive speeds of the rotary disk motor, the conveyor belt motor, the packaging motor, and the cam motor are controlled to be lower than the normal drive speed, the operating noise and the processing noise will be the lowest. Therefore, optimal quietness can be obtained under various conditions.
