While rotating the 1st and 2nd rotation disc 2, the conveyance belt 5 is driven.

  Next, the CPU 70 causes the display panel 105 to display a message prompting the operator to insert a coin.

  When a message to the effect that coins should be inserted is displayed on the display panel 105, the operator inserts coins into the coin wrapping machine.

  The coin wrapping machine according to the present embodiment is configured such that coins can be put into the coin wrapping machine via either the upper hopper 1 or the lower hopper 35, and the coins are placed in the upper hopper 1. When inserted, the coin falls onto the first rotating disk 2 through the opening 1 a of the upper hopper 1.

  On the other hand, when a coin is thrown into the lower hopper 35, it is detected by a sensor (not shown) provided in the lower hopper 35 that the coin has been thrown into the lower hopper 35. A detection signal is output from the sensor to the CPU 70.

  When the CPU 70 receives a coin detection signal from a sensor provided in the lower hopper 35 and determines that the coin has been inserted into the lower hopper 35, it sends a drive signal to the lower conveyance belt motor 94, the lift motor 95 and the supply belt motor 96. Then, the conveyor belt 36, the coin lift belt 37, and the supply belt 38 are driven.

  As a result, the coins thrown into the lower hopper 35 are transferred to the coin lift belt 37 by the transport belt 36 that forms the bottom of the lower hopper 35.

  The coins transferred from the transport belt 36 to the coin lift belt 37 are locked at their lower edges by comb-shaped protrusions 37 a provided on the coin lift belt 37, and are placed on the surface of the coin lift belt 37. Then, the coin surface is conveyed from the lower hopper 35 toward the upper hopper 1.

  As the coin lift belt 37 is driven, the coins delivered to the coin lift belt 37 are respectively sent upward and a scraper plate (not shown) provided near the upper end of the coin lift belt 37. ) Is scraped off from the coin lift belt 37 and falls onto the supply belt 38.

  Thus, the coins dropped on the supply belt 38 are respectively supplied into the upper hopper 1 by the supply belt 38 and fall onto the first rotating disk 2 through the opening 1 a of the upper hopper 1.

  The coins that have dropped onto the first rotating disk 2 are sent onto the second rotating disk 3 by the centrifugal force generated by the rotation of the first rotating disk 2.

  An annular guide (not shown) is provided around the second rotating disk 3, and the coins fed into the second rotating disk 3 are rotated by the second rotating disk 3. Is moved along the annular guide by the centrifugal force generated by the above, and is fed out one by one into the coin passage 4 from a delivery port (not shown) provided in the annular guide.

  The coins fed out from the second rotating disk 3 to the coin passage 4 are transported through the coin passage 4 while being sandwiched between the upper surface of the coin passage 4 and the conveyor belt 5.

  In the direction change part 4a, the coin changes its conveyance direction over the main body of the coin wrapping machine over approximately 90 degrees, and then the coin detection part 7 provided in the coin passage 4 on the downstream side of the direction change part 4a. Sent to.

  Although not shown in FIG. 1, the coin discriminating unit 7 detects an optical sensor (not shown) for detecting optical data such as a coin diameter and a surface pattern, and material data such as a magnetic property of the coin. A magnetic sensor (not shown) is provided, the coin discriminating unit 7 detects the optical data and material data of the coin, and the coin discriminating unit 7 detects the detected optical data and material data of the coin. 7 to the CPU 70.

  When the CPU 70 receives the optical data and material data of the coin from the coin discriminating unit 7, it reads out the reference optical data and the reference material data of the coin stored in the ROM 71 in the ROM 71 and is inputted from the coin discriminating unit 7. Compared with the optical data and material data of the coin, it is determined whether the coin is an acceptable coin or an unacceptable coin such as a counterfeit coin or a foreign coin. Further, the denomination of the coin is determined, and the determination result is written in the RAM 72.

  When the coin is further conveyed toward the downstream side in the coin passage 4, and the coin is detected by the sensor 8a, a coin detection signal is output from the sensor 8a to the CPU.

  When receiving a coin detection signal from the sensor 8a, the CPU 70 reads the coin discrimination result stored in the RAM 72.

  When the coin is determined to be an unacceptable coin such as a counterfeit coin or a foreign coin, and the fact is written in the RAM 72, the CPU 70 outputs a drive signal to the first solenoid 83, One projecting member 8d is rotated from the retracted position retracted into the guide rail 6a to the projecting position projecting into the coin passage 4.

  As a result, the coin determined to be an unacceptable coin is pushed toward the guide rail 6b by the first projecting member 8d, separated from the inner wall of the guide rail 6a, and not guided by the inner wall of the guide rail 6a. Then, it is sent to the first coin collecting port 8.

  Therefore, the distance L2 between the inner wall of the guide rail 6a and the tip of the first protruding member 8d at the protruding position is such that the first coin collecting port 8 has a distance L2 between the inner wall of the guide rail 6a and the first coin collecting port. 8 is formed so as to be slightly larger than the distance L3 to the edge on the guide rail 6a side, and therefore, a coin that has been determined to be an acceptable coin such as a counterfeit coin or a foreign coin is The edge on the rail 6a side is not supported by the upper surface of the coin passage 4 between the guide rail 6a and the first coin recovery port 8, falls into the first coin recovery port 8, and the first coin recovery The coins are collected in the coin collection box 31 via the first coin collection passage 30 connected to the mouth 8.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the coin detected by the sensor 8a is an acceptable coin, the CPU 70 does not output any signal.

  As a result, the coins determined to be acceptable coins have both edges at the upper surface of the coin passage 4 between the guide rail 6a and the first coin collection port 8, and the first coin collection port 8. While being supported by the upper surface of the coin passage 4 between the guide rail 6b, the coin is fed to the first coin collecting port 8, and the first coin collecting port 8 includes the inner wall of the guide rail 6a and the first coin collecting port. 8 is formed so that the distance L1 with the edge on the guide rail 6b side is slightly smaller than the diameter of the coin with the smallest diameter to be processed. It passes through the first coin collecting port 8 without falling.

  The coin that has passed through the first coin collection port 8 passes over the sensor 8b.

  As a result, a coin detection signal is output from the sensor 8 b to the CPU 70.

  When the CPU 70 receives the coin detection signal from the sensor 8b, the CPU 70 reads the coin discrimination result written in the RAM 72, and reads the number of coins detected by the sensor 8b into the memory area of the RAM 72 corresponding to the denomination of the coin. Write.

  The coin determined to be an acceptable coin is further conveyed downstream in the coin passage 4, and when the coin is detected by the sensor 9a, a coin detection signal is output from the sensor 9a to the CPU 70. The

  When the CPU 70 receives a coin detection signal from the sensor 9 a, the CPU 70 reads the coin discrimination result stored in the RAM 72 and reads the denomination of the coin to be wrapped stored in the RAM 72.

  The CPU 70 determines whether or not the coin denomination matches the denomination of the coin to be packaged based on the coin determination result stored in the RAM 72 and the denomination of the coin to be packaged stored in the RAM 72. Determine whether.

  As a result of determining whether or not the denomination of the coin matches the denomination of the coin to be wrapped, when it is determined that the denomination of the coin does not match the denomination of the coin to be wrapped, the CPU 70 Then, a drive signal is output to the second solenoid 84 to rotate the second projecting member 9d from the retracted position retracted into the guide rail 6c to the projecting position projecting into the coin passage 4.

  As a result, the coin determined that the denomination does not match the denomination of the coin to be packaged is pushed toward the guide rail 6b by the second projecting member 9d, away from the inner wall of the guide rail 6c, It is sent to the second coin collecting port 9 without being guided by the inner wall of the guide rail 6c.

  Therefore, the distance L5 between the inner wall of the guide rail 6c and the tip of the second protruding member 9d at the protruding position is such that the second coin collecting port 9 has a distance L5 between the inner wall of the guide rail 6c and the second coin collecting port. 9 is formed so as to be slightly larger than the distance L6 with the edge on the guide rail 6c side, so that the coin determined to be inconsistent with the denomination of the coin to be wrapped is The edge on the guide rail 6c side is not supported on the upper surface of the coin passage 4 between the guide rail 6c and the second coin recovery port 9, falls into the second coin recovery port 9, and the second It is collected in the lower hopper 35 via the second coin collecting passage 32 connected to the coin collecting port 9.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the denomination of the coin detected by the sensor 8a matches the denomination of the coin to be wrapped, the CPU 70 does not output any signal.

  As a result, the coin determined to match the denomination of the coin to be packaged has a coin passage 4 between the guide rail 6c and the second coin recovery port 9 at both edges. , And the second coin recovery port 9 is guided to the guide rail while being supported by the upper surface of the coin passage 4 between the second coin recovery port 9 and the guide rail 6b. Since the distance L4 between the inner wall of 6c and the edge of the second coin recovery port 9 on the guide rail 6b side is formed to be slightly smaller than the diameter of the smallest coin to be processed, Passes through the second coin collecting port 9 without falling into the second coin collecting port 9.

  The coin C that has passed through the coin collection port 9 passes over the sensor 9b.

  As a result, a coin detection signal is output from the sensor 9b to the CPU 70.

  When the CPU 70 receives the coin detection signal from the sensor 9b, the CPU 70 reads the coin discrimination result written in the RAM 72, and the memory area of the RAM 72 corresponding to the denomination of the coin, that is, the denomination of the coin to be wrapped. The number of coins detected by the sensor 9b is written.

  The coin of the denomination to be packaged is further sent downstream in the coin passage 4 toward the end portion of the coin passage 4.

  The coin of the denomination to be wrapped that has reached the end portion of the coin passage 4 is sent to the coin accumulating portion 10 connected to the end portion of the coin passage 4.

  The denomination coin to be packaged sent to the coin accumulating portion 10 is supported at its peripheral edge by a spiral projection 12 formed on the outer periphery of a pair of rotatable accumulating drums 10a and 10b.

  The CPU 70 outputs a drive signal to the accumulating drum motor 86 at the timing when the denominated coins to be packaged are fed into the coin accumulating unit 10, rotates the pair of accumulating drums 10a and 10b by a predetermined amount, and lowers the coins downward. Move to.

  Similarly, coins of denominations to be packaged pass through the first collection port 8 and the second collection port 9 and each time they pass the sensor 9b, the CPU 70 stores the money to be packaged stored in the RAM 72. The number of seed coins is updated, and the coins are successively fed from the coin passage 4 into the coin accumulating unit 10.

  The pair of stacking drums 10a and 10b is controlled by the CPU 70 to rotate by a predetermined amount each time the denomination of coins to be wrapped is fed into the coin stacking unit 10, and thus the pair of rotatable drums 10a and 10b can rotate. The coins whose peripheral portions are supported by the spiral projections 12 formed on the outer circumferences of the accumulation drums 10a and 10b are successively moved downward as the pair of accumulation drums 10a and 10b rotate. , Coins of denominations to be wrapped are stacked between the pair of stacking drums 10a and 10b.

  Thus, one after another, coins of denominations to be packaged are fed into the coin accumulating unit 10, and as a result, the number of coins of denominations to be packaged stored in the RAM 72 is equal to the number of coins to be packaged. When the determination is made, the CPU 70 sets the number of coins of denominations to be wrapped written in the RAM 72 to zero, and the CPU 70 outputs a drive signal to the stopper solenoid 85 and is provided at the end of the coin passage 4. The rotating shaft 11 c of the stopper 11 is rotated, and the protruding portion 11 a of the stopper 11 is positioned in the coin passage 4.

  At the same time, the CPU 70 outputs a drive stop signal to the first rotating disk motor 80, the second rotating disk motor 81, and the conveyor belt motor 82, and the first rotating disk 2 and the second rotating disk 3 are output. , And the conveyor belt 5 is stopped.

  As a result, subsequent coins are prevented from being sent to the coin accumulating unit 10.

  Thus, even after a predetermined number of coins to be packaged are accumulated between the pair of accumulation drums 10a and 10b, the CPU 70 outputs a drive signal to the accumulation drum motor 85, and the pair of accumulation drums 10a and 10b become one. When a predetermined number of accumulated coins are placed on the upper surface of the shutter 13, the rotation of the pair of accumulation drums 10a and 10b is stopped.

  When a predetermined number of coins of denominations to be wrapped are sent to the coin accumulating unit 10, the CPU 70 outputs a drive signal to the post moving mechanism 88 so that the coin support post 22 is connected to the pair of accumulating drums 10a and 10b. When rotating, the space between the three wrapping rollers 21, 21, 21 is raised so as to be positioned at the standby position immediately below the shutter 13, and when the coin support post 22 reaches the standby position directly below the shutter 13, A drive stop signal is output to the post moving mechanism 88.

  When a drive stop signal is output to the post moving mechanism 88, the CPU 70 outputs a drive signal to the shutter solenoid 87, opens the shutter 13, and the accumulated coins placed on the upper surface of the shutter 13 are stored in the coin support post 22. It is transferred to the upper surface.

  Next, the CPU 70 again outputs a drive signal to the post moving mechanism 88 to lower the coin support post 22 between the three wrapping rollers 21, 21, and 21, and to the wrapping roller drive mechanism 89. Is output, and the three wrapping rollers 21, 21, and 21 are moved so as to be close to each other while being rotated.

  When the coin support post 22 wraps the packaging film around the accumulated coins and reaches a packaging position where the accumulated coins can be packaged, the CPU 70 outputs a drive stop signal to the post moving mechanism 88 and supplies rollers. A drive signal is output to the motor 90 to cause the supply roller 24 to pull out the packaging film from the packaging film roll 23 and supply it between the packaging rollers 21, 21, 21 and the accumulated coins.

  As a result, the accumulated coins are sandwiched between the packaging rollers 21, 21, 21 through the packaging film.

  Further, when the wrapping rollers 21, 21, 21 and the supply roller 24 are rotated and a wrapping film having a predetermined length is wound around the accumulated coins, the CPU 70 sends a drive stop signal to the supply roller motor 90. The rotation of the supply roller 24 is stopped by outputting.

  Even after the rotation of the supply roller 24 is stopped, the packaging rollers 21, 21, 21 are rotated, and the packaging film is pressed against the cutter 25 by the tension generated in the packaging film by the rotation of the packaging rollers 21, 21, 21. To be cut.

  Next, the CPU 70 outputs a drive signal to the caulking claw driving mechanism 91 and caulks the upper and lower ends of the packaging film wound around the accumulated coins by a pair of caulking claws (not shown). A predetermined number of coins of denomination to be packaged produce a wrapping coin roll C that is wrapped in a cylindrical shape by a wrapping film.

  When the wrapping coin roll C is generated, the CPU 70 outputs a drive signal to the crimping claw drive mechanism 91 so that the pair of crimping claws are retracted from between the packaging rollers 21, 21, 21 to the retracted position. At the same time, a drive signal is output to the post moving mechanism 88 to move the coin support post 22 from between the wrapping rollers 21, 21, 21 to the retracted retracted position, and then driven to the wrapping roller driving mechanism 89. A signal is output to stop the rotation of the three packaging rollers 21, 21, 21 and to separate the three packaging rollers 21, 21, 21 from each other.

  As a result, the wrapping coin roll C falls into the chute 50 provided below the wrapping rollers 21, 21, 21, and the upper surface of the support portion 53 a of the first wrapping coin support member 53 and the second wrapping coin support. It is held between the member 54.

  Next, the wrapping coin roll C is subjected to the first lower wrapping coin storage box 41, the second lower wrapping coin storage box 42, and the upper wrapping coin storage box by the wrapping coin distribution means 51 in accordance with an instruction from the operator or selection by the CPU 70. Sent to any of 45.

  The operator designates the first lower wrapping coin storage box 41 as a wrapping coin storage box in which the wrapping coin roll C is to be stored, or according to the wrapping coin storage box selection data stored in the ROM 71, the CPU 70 When the first lower wrapping coin storage box 41 is selected as the wrapping coin storage box to store the wrapping coin roll C, and the fact is written in the RAM 72, the wrapping coin roll C is generated. The CPU 70 outputs a first drive signal to the distribution means motor 92 to move the first wrapping coin support member 53 of the wrapping coin distribution means 51 from the wrapping coin support position shown in FIG. In FIG. 8, it is swung around the support shaft 52 by about 100 to 110 degrees in the clockwise direction.

  As a result, the wrapping coin roll C held between the upper surface of the support portion 53 a of the first wrapping coin support member 53 and the second wrapping coin support member 54 is supported by the first wrapping coin support member 53. It guide | induces on the 1st guide surface 57a of the guide member 57 via the distribution part 53b of the 1st packaging coin support member 53 which makes an obtuse angle and continues with respect to the part 53a.

  Here, the operator designates the first lower wrapping coin storage box 41 as the wrapping coin storage box in which the wrapping coin roll C is to be stored, or according to the wrapping coin storage box selection data stored in the ROM 71. When the CPU 70 selects the first lower wrapping coin storage box 41 as a wrapping coin storage box in which the wrapping coin roll C is to be stored, and the fact is written in the RAM 72, prior to the coin wrapping process. As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the wrapping coin transport member 63 is positioned at the retracted position retracted upward from the wrapping coin receiving position. The wrapping coin roll C led to the first lower wrapping coin storage box 41 through the opening 41a of the first lower wrapping coin storage box 41. Fall hex 41 is accommodated in the first lower wrapped coin accommodating box 41.

  On the other hand, the operator designates the second lower wrapping coin storage box 42 as the wrapping coin storage box in which the wrapping coin roll C is to be stored, or the packing coin storage box selection data stored in the ROM 71 is used. Therefore, when the CPU 70 selects the second lower wrapping coin storage box 42 as a wrapping coin storage box in which the wrapping coin roll C is to be stored, and the fact is written in the RAM 72, the wrapping coin roll C Is generated, the CPU 70 outputs a second drive signal to the distribution means motor 92 and moves the first wrapping coin support member 53 of the wrapping coin distribution means 51 as shown by a broken line in FIG. 7 and FIG. 9 from the wrapping coin support position shown in FIG. 7 and about 60 to 70 degrees clockwise around the support shaft 52 in FIG. Swinging.

  As a result, the wrapping coin roll C held between the upper surface of the support portion 53 a of the first wrapping coin support member 53 and the second wrapping coin support member 54 is distributed to the first wrapping coin support member 53. It is sent to the part 53 b and held on the distribution part 53 b of the first packaging coin support member 53.

  Thus, when the wrapping coin roll C is held on the distribution portion 53b of the first wrapping coin support member 53, the CPU 70 outputs a third drive signal to the distribution means motor 92, and in FIG. As shown in FIG. 7, the first wrapping coin support member 53 of the wrapping coin distribution means 51 is further swung around the support shaft 52 by about 90 degrees in the clockwise direction in FIGS.

  As a result, the wrapping coin roll C held on the distribution portion 53 b of the first wrapping coin support member 53 is guided onto the second guide surface 57 b of the guide member 57.

  Here, the operator designates the second lower wrapping coin storage box 42 as the wrapping coin storage box in which the wrapping coin roll C is to be stored, or according to the wrapping coin storage box selection data stored in the ROM 71. When the CPU 70 selects the second lower wrapping coin storage box 42 as the wrapping coin storage box in which the wrapping coin roll C is to be stored, and the fact is written in the RAM 72, prior to the coin wrapping process. 8 and 9, the wrapping coin transport member 63 is positioned at the retracted position retracted upward from the wrapping coin receiving position, and thus on the second guide surface 57 b of the guide member 57. The wrapping coin roll C led to the second lower wrapping coin storage box 42 through the opening 42a of the second lower wrapping coin storage box 42. And falls hex 42, is housed in the second lower wrapped coin accommodating box 42.

  On the other hand, the operator designates the upper wrapping coin storage box 45 as the wrapping coin storage box in which the wrapping coin roll C is to be stored, or according to the wrapping coin storage box selection data stored in the ROM 71, the CPU 70 When the upper wrapping coin storage box 45 is selected as the wrapping coin storage box in which the coin roll C is to be stored and the fact is written in the RAM 72, when the wrapping coin roll C is generated, the CPU 70 A fourth drive signal is output to the distribution means motor 92, and the first wrapping coin support member 53 of the wrapping coin distribution means 51 is moved from the wrapping coin support position shown in FIG. It is swung around the support shaft 52 by about 100 to 110 degrees in the clockwise direction.

  Here, the operator designates the upper wrapping coin storage box 45 as the wrapping coin storage box in which the wrapping coin roll C is to be stored, or according to the wrapping coin storage box selection data stored in the ROM 71, the CPU 70 When the upper wrapping coin storage box 45 is selected as the wrapping coin storage box in which the wrapping coin roll C is to be stored, and the fact is written in the RAM 72, the wrapping coin transport member 63 is placed at the wrapping coin receiving position. Since it is held, the wrapping coin roll C held between the upper surface of the support portion 53a of the first wrapping coin support member 53 and the second wrapping coin support member 54 is the first wrapping coin support member. 53 is guided to the upper surface of the plate-like member 63c urged above the wrapping coin transport member 63 via the distribution portion 53b of the wrapping coin transport member 63. It is held by the upper surface of the third plate-shaped member 63c.

  Next, the CPU 70 outputs a third drive signal to the chain belt motor 93 to drive the chain belt 62, so that the wrapping coin transport member 63 is moved from the wrapping coin receiving position as shown in FIGS. , Raised toward the upper packaging coin delivery position.

  When the wrapping coin transport member 63 is raised and reaches just before the wrapping coin delivery position, the roller 63d of the wrapping coin transport member 63 is engaged with an engaging portion 64a formed directly below the upper opening 65 of the wrapping coin lift 60. Together, the tip of the plate-like member 63b of the wrapping coin transport member 63 is stopped.

  The CPU 70 continues to drive the chain belt motor 93, and when the wrapping coin transport member 63 further rises and reaches the wrapping coin delivery position, the CPU 70 outputs a drive stop signal to the chain belt motor 93, and the chain belt 62 is stopped.

  After the roller 63d of the wrapping coin transport member 63 is engaged with the engaging portion 64a of the wrapping coin lift 60, as the wrapping coin transport member 63 is further raised toward the wrapping coin delivery position, the wrapping coin transport member The plate-like member 63b of 63 is swung around the shaft 63b in the counterclockwise direction in FIGS. 7 and 10, and therefore when the wrapping coin transport member 63 reaches the wrapping coin delivery position, the wrapping coin transport member 63 The wrapping coin roll C held by the upper surface of the plate-like member 63 c is sent out from the wrapping coin transport member 63 toward the upper opening 65 formed at the top of the wrapping coin lift 60, and is formed in the wrapping coin lift 60. The upper packaging coin storage box 45 falls into the upper packaging coin storage box 45 through the upper opening 65 and is stored in the upper packaging coin storage box 45.

  Similarly, a predetermined number of coins specified as coins of denominations to be packed are packed by an operator, and a wrapping coin roll C is generated by an operator. It is selectively stored in one lower packaging coin storage box 41, second lower packaging coin storage box 42 or upper packaging coin storage box 45.

  In this way, coins of denominations to be wrapped are successively wrapped, and a wrapping coin roll C including a predetermined number of coins of denominations to be wrapped is generated and selected by the packaging coin storage box or CPU 70 designated by the operator. When all the coins stored in the wrapping coin storage box and put into the coin wrapping machine are sent into the coin collection box 31, the lower hopper 45 and the coin stacking unit 10, the coin stacking unit written in the RAM 72 When it is determined that the number of coins sent to 10 is less than the predetermined number to be wrapped, prior to the coins accumulated in the coin accumulation unit 10 being transferred to the coin packaging unit 20, the CPU 70 The first drive signal is output to the distribution means motor 92, and the first wrapping coin support member 53 of the wrapping coin distribution means 51 is viewed from the wrapping coin support position shown in FIG. And 8, about the support shaft 52, over to free about 100 degrees in a clockwise direction 110 degrees, is swung.

  As a result, fractional coins that are less than the predetermined number to be wrapped are sent from the coin wrapping unit 20 to the chute 50 and are not supported by the first wrapping coin support member 53 of the wrapping coin distribution means 51, but wrapping coins. It passes through the distribution means 51 and is collected via a guide plate 56 in a fraction coin recovery box 55 provided below the wrapping coin distribution means 51.

  On the other hand, as a result of successively wrapping coins of denominations to be wrapped, generating a wrapping coin roll C, and storing it in the wrapping coin storage box designated by the operator or the wrapping coin storage box selected by the CPU 70, According to the instruction or the selection of the CPU 70, the first lower wrapping coin storage box 41, the second lower wrapping coin storage box 42 or the upper wrapping coin storage box 45 that has been storing the wrapping coin roll C until then. A part of the wrapping coin roll C stored therein is an opening 41a of the first lower wrapping coin storage box 41, an opening 42a of the second wrapping coin storage box 42, or an upper opening of the wrapping coin lift 60. 65, the first lower wrapping coin storage box 41, the second lower wrapping coin storage box When a wrapping coin detection signal is input to the CPU 70 from the first wrapping coin sensor 41b, the second wrapping coin sensor 42b, or the top wrapping coin sensor 66 corresponding to the 2 or upper wrapping coin storage box 45, the wrapping coin When the packaging coin roll C is further stored in the storage box, jamming of the packaging coin roll C occurs, and it is determined that the packaging coin roll C cannot be stored in the packaging coin storage box any more. The CPU 70 newly stores the wrapping coin roll C according to the wrapping coin storage box selection data stored in the ROM 71 instead of the wrapping coin storage box in which the wrapping coin roll C has been stored. Select the wrapping coin storage box and select the wrapping coin storage box corresponding to the selected wrapping coin storage box. From Sa determines whether wrapped coin detection signal is input. At this time, since the wrapping coin roll C is not stored in the two wrapping coin storage boxes other than the wrapping coin storage box in which the wrapping coin roll C has been stored, the selected wrapping coin storage box No wrapping coin detection signal is input from the corresponding wrapping coin sensor, and therefore the wrapping coin roll C can be stored in the selected wrapping coin storage box. While generating an alarm, it is impossible to store the wrapping coin roll C in the wrapping coin storage box that has been storing the wrapping coin roll C until then. Instead of the wrapping coin storage box, the wrapping coin roll C should be stored in the selected wrapping coin storage box. A message to draft, to be displayed on the display panel 105.

  Based on the message displayed on the display panel 105, when the operator operates the predetermined key of the operation unit 100 and inputs an agreement to the proposal of the CPU 70, or the message displayed on the display panel 105 On the other hand, when the operator does not input any signal to the operation unit 100 within a predetermined time, the CPU 70 uses the selected wrapping coin storage box as the wrapping coin to newly store the wrapping coin roll C. The wrapping coin roll storage indicates that the wrapping coin roll C of the coin of the denomination designated by the operator is stored in the memory area of the RAM 72 that stores data on the wrapping coin storage box determined and selected as the storage box. Write as data.

  On the other hand, to the operating unit 100, the operator does not agree to store the packaging coin roll C in the packaging coin storage box proposed by the CPU 70 by operating a predetermined key of the operating unit 100. When input, the CPU 70 follows the packaging coin storage box selection data stored in the ROM 71 and the packaging coin storage box in which the packaging coin roll C has been stored until then and the packaging coin storage box that the operator has not agreed to. A wrapping coin storage box other than the above is reselected, and it is determined whether or not a wrapping coin detection signal is input from a wrapping coin sensor corresponding to the reselected wrapping coin storage box. At this time, since the wrapping coin roll C is not stored in the two wrapping coin storage boxes other than the wrapping coin storage box in which the wrapping coin roll C has been stored until then, the reselected wrapping coin storage box. Since no wrapping coin detection signal is input from the wrapping coin sensor corresponding to the wrapping coin sensor, the wrapping coin roll C can be stored in the reselected wrapping coin storage box. A message that causes an alarm to be generated at 106 and suggests that the wrapping coin roll C should be stored in the reselected wrapping coin storage box instead of the wrapping coin storage box that had previously stored the wrapping coin roll C. Is displayed on the display panel 105.

  As a result, the operator operates the predetermined key of the operation unit 100 to input to the operation unit 100 that he / she agrees to store the wrapping coin roll C in the wrapping coin storage box re-proposed by the CPU 70. When the operator does not input any signal to the operation unit 100 within a predetermined time in response to the re-suggestion of the CPU 70, the CPU 70 stores the data about the packaging coin storage box. In the memory area, the fact that the wrapping coin roll C of the denomination designated by the operator is stored is written as wrapping coin roll storage data, and an alarm is generated in the alarm means 106, and the wrapping coin storage box In addition, a message indicating that the wrapping coin roll C should be stored is displayed on the display panel 105 again. To.

  On the other hand, to the operation unit 100, the operator does not agree to store the packaging coin roll C in the packaging coin storage box re-proposed by the CPU 70 by operating a predetermined key of the operation unit 100. When entered, the coin wrapping machine is not left with a wrapping coin storage box that can store the wrapping coin roll C, and it is impossible to continue the coin wrapping. In addition, an alarm is generated in the alarm means 106, and in addition to this packaging coin storage box, the display panel 105 displays that there is no packaging coin storage box that can store the packaging coin roll C, A message requesting the operator to reconsider is displayed on the display panel 105.

  As a result, the operator operates the predetermined key of the operation unit 100 to input to the operation unit 100 that he / she agrees to store the wrapping coin roll C in the wrapping coin storage box re-proposed by the CPU 70. When the operator does not input any signal to the operation unit 100 within a predetermined time in response to the re-suggestion of the CPU 70, the CPU 70 stores the data about the packaging coin storage box. In the memory area, the fact that the wrapping coin roll C of the denomination designated by the operator is stored is written as wrapping coin roll storage data, and an alarm is generated in the alarm means 106, and the wrapping coin storage box In addition, a message indicating that the wrapping coin roll C should be stored is displayed on the display panel 105 again. To.

  Thus, instead of the wrapping coin storage box in which the wrapping coin roll C has been stored, a new wrapping coin storage box in which the wrapping coin roll C is to be stored is determined, and the CPU 70 starts the coin wrapping process. In the same manner as described above, according to the wrapping coin storage box in which the wrapping coin roll C is to be stored, the wrapping coin transport member 63 is positioned at a predetermined position, and into the wrapping coin storage box of the wrapping coin and the wrapping coin roll C. Resume storage.

  On the other hand, the operator operates the predetermined key of the operation unit 100 and still does not agree to store the packaging coin roll C in the packaging coin storage box re-proposed by the CPU 70. When it is input to 100, the CPU 70 interrupts the coin wrapping process and causes the alarm means 106 to generate an alarm, and from the wrapping coin storage box in which the wrapping coin roll C has been stored, the wrapping coin roll C is removed. A message urging the operator to take out is displayed on the display panel 105.

  In response to the message from the CPU 70 displayed on the display panel 105, the operator pulls out the wrapping coin storage box that has previously stored the wrapping coin roll C from the coin wrapping machine and removes the stored wrapping coin roll C. After taking out and setting the wrapping coin storage box in the coin wrapping machine, when a predetermined key of the operation unit 100 is operated and a start signal is input, the start signal is input to the CPU 70, and at the same time, the operator inputs the wrapping coin roll C. Since no wrapping coin detection signal is input from the wrapping coin sensor corresponding to the wrapping coin storage box, the CPU 70 wraps the wrapping coin roll written in the memory area of the RAM 72 for storing data about the wrapping coin storage box. Erase the stored data, and re-pack the packaging coin storage box In addition, data indicating that the wrapping coin roll C of the denomination coin specified by the operator is stored is written, and an alarm is generated in the alarm means 106. Subsequently, the wrapping that has stored the wrapping coin roll C until then is performed. A message to the effect that the wrapping coin roll C is stored in the coin storage box is displayed on the display panel 105.

  On the other hand, when the operator does not take out the wrapping coin roll C stored in the wrapping coin storage box in which the wrapping coin roll C has been stored, and the start signal is not input to the operation unit 100, the CPU 70 The operator takes out the wrapping coin roll C stored in the wrapping coin storage box that has been storing the wrapping coin roll C until then, and interrupts the coin wrapping process until a start signal is input to the operation unit 100. .

  Thus, a wrapping coin storage box in which the wrapping coin roll C is to be stored is newly determined, one after another, denomination coins to be wrapped are packaged to generate a wrapping coin roll C, and the wrapping coin roll C is stored in the wrapping coin box. When a packaging coin detection signal is input to the CPU 70 from the packaging coin sensor corresponding to the newly determined packaging coin storage box as a result of the storage, the packaging coin roll C is further placed in the packaging coin storage box. If it is stored, jamming of the wrapping coin roll C occurs, and it is determined that the wrapping coin roll C cannot be stored in the wrapping coin storage box any more. Therefore, the CPU 70 stores the wrapping coin stored in the ROM 71. In accordance with the storage box selection data, instead of the wrapping coin storage box that had previously stored the wrapping coin roll C, a new , Wrapped coin roll C select the wrapped coin storage box to be accommodated, it determines the wrapped coin sensor corresponding to the packaging coin accommodating box selected, whether wrapped coin detection signal is input.

  As a result of the determination, when it is determined that the wrapping coin detection signal is input from the wrapping coin sensor corresponding to the selected wrapping coin storage box, the CPU 70 follows the wrapping coin storage box selection data stored in the ROM 71. Until then, the wrapping coin storage box other than the wrapping coin storage box and the wrapping coin storage box other than the selected wrapping coin storage box are selected, and the wrapping coin sensor is selected from the wrapping coin sensor corresponding to the wrapping coin storage box. It is determined whether a detection signal is input.

  As a result, when it is determined that the wrapping coin detection signal is input from the wrapping coin sensor corresponding to the newly selected wrapping coin storage box, the coin wrapping machine can store the coin wrapping roll C. Since the coin storage box is not left and it is impossible to continue the coin wrapping, the CPU 70 interrupts the coin wrapping process, causes the alarm means 106 to generate an alarm, and at least the first A message prompting the operator to take out the stored wrapping coin roll C from any one of the lower wrapping coin storage box 41, the second lower wrapping coin storage box 41 and the upper wrapping coin storage box 45 is displayed on the display panel 105. To display.

  In response to the message from the CPU 70 displayed on the display panel 105, the operator selects at least one of the first lower wrapping coin storage box 41, the second lower wrapping coin storage box 41, and the upper wrapping coin storage box 45. Pull out from the coin wrapping machine, take out the stored wrapping coin roll C, set the wrapping coin storage box in the coin wrapping machine, operate the predetermined key of the operation unit 100, and input a start signal. The signal is input to the CPU 70, and at the same time, the wrapping coin detection signal is not input from the wrapping coin sensor corresponding to the wrapping coin storage box from which the operator has taken out the wrapping coin roll C. Record the data about the wrapping coin storage box from which roll C was taken out. To erase the wrapped coin roll storage data written into the memory area of the RAM 72.

  Next, the CPU 70 newly stores a wrapping coin roll C in which the wrapping coin roll C is to be stored according to the wrapping coin storage box selection data stored in the ROM 71 from the wrapping coin storage box from which the wrapping coin roll storage data has been deleted. A box is selected, and data indicating that the wrapping coin roll C is stored in the wrapping coin storage box is written as wrapping coin roll storage data in the memory area of the RAM 72 in which data about the wrapping coin storage box is stored. A message indicating that the alarm means 106 should generate an alarm and that the wrapping coin roll C should be stored in the selected wrapping coin storage box instead of the wrapping coin storage box that had previously stored the wrapping coin roll C. Is displayed on the display panel 105.

  In contrast, the operator does not take out the stored wrapping coin roll C from any of the first lower wrapping coin storage box 41, the second lower wrapping coin storage box 41, and the upper wrapping coin storage box 45. When the start signal is not input to the operation unit 100, the CPU 70 causes the operator to select at least one of the first lower wrapping coin storage box 41, the second lower wrapping coin storage box 41, and the upper wrapping coin storage box 45. The packaged coin roll C stored therein is taken out, and the coin packaging process is suspended until a start signal is input to the operation unit 100.

  On the other hand, when it is determined from the wrapping coin sensor corresponding to the newly selected wrapping coin storage box that the wrapping coin detection signal has not been input, the CPU 70 causes the alarm means 106 to generate an alarm and the newly selected wrapping coin. The display panel 105 displays that the wrapping coin roll C should be stored in the storage box.

  On the other hand, the operation unit indicates that the operator does not agree to store the wrapping coin roll C in the wrapping coin storage box displayed on the display panel 105 by operating a predetermined key of the operation unit 100. When the value is input to 100, the coin wrapping roll C is stored in the coin wrapping machine in the same manner as when the wrapping coin detection signal is input from the wrapping coin sensor corresponding to the newly selected wrapping coin storage box. Since no wrapping coin storage box is left and it is impossible to continue wrapping the coin, the CPU 70 interrupts the wrapping process of the coin, generates an alarm in the alarm means 106, and at least, Any of the first lower packaging coin storage box 41, the second lower packaging coin storage box 41, and the upper packaging coin storage box 45 Et al., A message urging the Operator to retrieve the wrapped coin roll C, which is accommodated in the operator, is displayed on the display panel 105.

  On the other hand, the operator operates the predetermined key of the operation unit 100 to input to the operation unit 100 that he / she agrees to store the wrapping coin roll C in the wrapping coin storage box displayed on the display panel 105. When the display panel 105 displays that the wrapping coin roll C should be stored in the wrapping coin storage box that has been selected anew, or within a predetermined time, the operator sends any signal to the operation unit 100. If no input is made, the CPU 70 newly determines the newly selected wrapping coin storage box as a wrapping coin storage box in which the wrapping coin roll C is to be stored, and data about the wrapping coin storage box is stored. In the memory area of the RAM 72, data indicating that the wrapping coin roll C is stored in the wrapping coin storage box is displayed as wrapping coins. As the package storage data, the alarm means 106 generates an alarm, and instead of the wrapping coin storage box in which the wrapping coin roll C has been stored, the wrapping coin roll is stored in the newly selected wrapping coin storage box. A message indicating that C should be stored is displayed again on the display panel 105.

  On the other hand, according to the packaging coin storage box selection data stored in the ROM 71, the packaging coin roll C is newly accommodated instead of the packaging coin storage box that has previously accommodated the packaging coin roll C. The wrapping coin corresponding to the selected wrapping coin storage box is selected as a result of determining whether the wrapping coin detection signal is input from the wrapping coin sensor corresponding to the selected wrapping coin storage box. When it is determined from the sensor that the wrapping coin detection signal is not input, the CPU 70 causes the alarm means 106 to generate an alarm and informs that the wrapping coin roll C should be stored in the selected wrapping coin storage box. The proposed message is displayed on the display panel 105.

  In response to the proposal of the CPU 70, when the operator operates the predetermined key of the operation unit 100 and inputs that he / she does not agree with the operation unit 100, the wrapping coin detection is detected from the wrapping coin sensor corresponding to the wrapping coin storage box. In the same manner as when the signal has been input, the CPU 70 follows the packaging coin storage box selection data stored in the ROM 71 and the packaging coin storage box that has previously stored the packaging coin roll C and the selected packaging. Select a packaging coin storage box other than the coin storage box.

  On the other hand, in response to the proposal of the CPU 70, when the operator operates the predetermined key of the operation unit 100 and inputs an agreement to the operation unit 100 or within a predetermined time, When no signal is input to the unit 100, the CPU 70 newly determines the packaging coin storage box as a packaging coin storage box in which the packaging coin roll C is to be stored, and data about the packaging coin storage box. Is stored in the memory area of the RAM 72 where the wrapping coin roll C is stored in the wrapping coin storage box as the wrapping coin roll storage data, and the alarm means 106 generates an alarm, Instead of the wrapping coin storage box storing the wrapping coin roll C, in the proposed wrapping coin storage box, A message to the effect that storing the instrumentation coin rolls C, again, is displayed on the display panel 105.

  Thus, when a wrapping coin storage box in which the wrapping coin roll C is to be stored is newly determined, the CPU 70 positions the wrapping coin transport member 63 at a predetermined position according to the determined wrapping coin storage box, The coin wrapping process is resumed, one after another, coins of denominations to be wrapped are wrapped, and a wrapping coin roll C including a predetermined number of coins of denominations to be wrapped is generated, in the wrapping coin storage box Stored.

  Next, as a result of coins of denominations to be wrapped being wrapped, a wrapping coin roll C including coins of denominations to be wrapped is generated and stored in a new wrapping coin storage box, When a wrapping coin detection signal is input to the CPU 70 from the wrapping coin sensor corresponding to the wrapping coin storage box, the wrapping coin storage to newly store the wrapping coin roll C is again performed in the same manner as described above. The box is determined, and the coin wrapping process, the wrapping coin roll C generation process, and the wrapping coin storage box storage process are continued.

  In this way, coins of denominations to be wrapped are successively wrapped, and a wrapping coin roll C including a predetermined number of coins of denominations to be wrapped is generated and stored in a predetermined wrapping coin storage box. If the CPU 70 determines that all of the coins thrown into the machine have been sent into the coin collection box 31, the lower hopper 45, the coin stacking unit 10, and the fraction coin collection box 55, the CPU 70 accesses the RAM 72 and makes the first by the operator. When it is determined that the packaging processing mode is designated, a drive stop signal is output to the first rotating disk motor 80, the second rotating disk motor 81, and the conveyor belt motor 82, respectively. The rotation of the first rotating disk 2 and the second rotating disk 3 is stopped, and the driving of the conveyor belt 5 is stopped to wrap the coins put into the coin wrapping machine. To terminate.

  When the coin wrapping process is completed, the operator lowers the first lower wrapping coin storage box 41, the second lower wrapping coin storage box 42 and / or the upper wrapping coin storage box 45 from the coin wrapping machine, The wrapping coin roll C stored in the one lower wrapping coin storage box 41, the second lower wrapping coin storage box 42 and / or the upper wrapping coin storage box 45 is taken out by the operator, and the fraction coin collecting box 55 is The fractional coins of the denomination to be packaged, which are drawn from the coin wrapping machine and collected in the fractional coin collection box 55, are collected by the operator.

  Furthermore, the lower hopper 45 is pulled out from the coin wrapping machine by the operator, and coins that can be received in denominations other than denominations to be packaged collected in the lower hopper 45 are collected. Unacceptable coins such as fake coins and foreign coins drawn out from the coin wrapping machine and collected in the coin collection box 31 are collected separately from the accepted coins.

  On the other hand, when the operator has designated the second packaging processing mode, the coin wrapping machine further denominated coins other than those designated by the operator as denomination coins to be wrapped. The packaged coin roll C that has been packaged and generated is stored in a packaged coin storage box in which the packaged coin roll C is not stored.

  That is, the CPU 70 accesses the RAM 72, and first, accepts the coin of the denomination that has the largest number of detected coins other than the denomination designated as the denomination to be wrapped by the operator. Then, it is determined as a denomination coin to be wrapped, written in the RAM 72, an alarm is generated in the alarm means 106, and the denomination of the second coin to be wrapped is displayed on the display panel 105. .

  Next, the CPU 70 accesses the memory area of the RAM 72 storing data about the first lower wrapping coin storage box 41, the second lower wrapping coin storage box 42, and the upper wrapping coin storage box 45, and the memory. The packaging coin roll storage data written in the area is read, the packaging coin storage box in which the packaging coin roll C is not stored is detected, and secondly according to the packaging coin storage box selection data stored in the ROM 71. A wrapping coin storage box for storing a wrapping coin roll C of denomination coins to be packed is selected.

  Thus, when the packaging coin storage box to store the wrapping coin roll C of the denomination of coins to be packaged second is selected, the CPU 70 generates an alarm in the alarm means 106, and in the selected packaging coin storage box. The display panel 105 displays that the wrapping coin roll C of the denomination coin to be wrapped second is to be stored.

  On the other hand, the operator operates a predetermined key of the operation unit 100 to put the wrapping coin roll C of the denomination coin to be wrapped second in the wrapping coin storage box displayed on the display panel 105. When it is input to the operation unit 100 that the user does not agree with storage, the CPU 70 wraps another denomination coin storage box in which the wrapping coin roll C is not stored secondly. Re-select as a wrapping coin storage box to store the coin roll C, generate an alarm in the alarm means 106, and wrap a coin of denomination coins to be packed second in the re-selected wrapping coin storage box A message that suggests that the roll C should be stored is displayed on the display panel 105.

  On the other hand, the operator operates a predetermined key of the operation unit 100 and agrees to store the wrapping coin roll C of the denomination coin to be packed secondly in the reselected wrapping coin storage box. When the operation unit 100 is instructed not to do so, the coin wrapping machine is not left with any wrapping coin storage box that can store the wrapping coin roll C, and the coin wrapping is continued. Since this is impossible, the CPU 70 causes the alarm means 106 to generate an alarm, and that there is no wrapping coin storage box that can store the wrapping coin roll C other than the wrapping coin storage box. Is displayed on the display panel 105 and a message requesting the operator to reconsider is displayed on the display panel 105.

  As a result, when the operator agrees to store the wrapping coin roll C in the wrapping coin storage box re-proposed by the CPU 70 by operating a predetermined key of the operation unit 100, or to re-suggest the CPU 70. On the other hand, when the operator does not input any signal to the operation unit 100 within a predetermined time, the CPU 70 secondly stores the wrapping coin storage box and the wrapping coin to store the wrapping coin roll C. The storage box is determined and an alarm is generated in the alarm means 106, and a message indicating that the packaging coin roll C should be stored in the packaging coin storage box is displayed again on the display panel 105.

  On the other hand, the operator operates the predetermined key of the operation unit 100 and inputs to the operation unit 100 that he / she still does not agree to store the packaging coin roll C in the re-proposed packaging coin storage box. At that time, the CPU 70 interrupts the coin wrapping process, causes the alarm means 106 to generate an alarm, and informs the operator that the wrapping coin roll C should be taken out of the wrapping coin storage box in which the wrapping coin roll C is stored. A prompt message is displayed on the display panel 105.

  On the other hand, the operator pulls out the wrapping coin storage box from which the wrapping coin roll C has been stored, from the coin wrapping machine, takes out the stored wrapping coin roll C, and uses the wrapping coin storage box. When the start signal is input by operating a predetermined key of the operation unit 100 after being set in the coin wrapping machine, the start signal is input to the CPU 70, and the CPU 70 stores the data about the wrapping coin storage box in the RAM 72. The wrapping coin roll storage data written in the memory area is erased, and the wrapping coin roll storage data indicates that the wrapping coin roll C of the second denomination coin is stored in the wrapping coin storage box. , Write the wrapping coin storage box, a wrapping coin storage box to store the wrapping coin roll C And, to determine.

  Next, the CPU 70 causes the alarm means 106 to generate an alarm, and causes the display panel 105 to display a message indicating that the packaging coin roll C should be stored in the packaging coin storage box.

  On the other hand, when the operator does not take out the wrapping coin roll C from the wrapping coin storage box in which the wrapping coin roll C is stored and no start signal is input to the operation unit 100, the CPU 70 The wrapping coin roll C is taken out from the wrapping coin storage box in which the coin roll C is stored, and the coin wrapping process is suspended until a start signal is input to the operation unit 100.

  On the other hand, the operator operates a predetermined key of the operation unit 100 to select the second denomination coin to be packed in the packaging coin storage box that is first selected by the CPU 70 and displayed on the display panel 105. When the operator agrees that the wrapping coin roll C should be stored, or when the operator does not input any signal to the operation unit 100 within a predetermined time in response to the proposal of the CPU 70, the CPU 70 Determining the packaging coin storage box as a packaging coin storage box in which the packaging coin roll C is to be stored, and denomination coins to be packed second in the memory area of the RAM 72 for storing data about the packaging coin storage box The wrapping coin roll C is stored as wrapping coin roll storage data, and an alarm is generated in the alarm means 106. Both its packaging coin accommodating box, a message to the effect that storing the wrapped coin roll C, again, is displayed on the display panel 105.

  Thus, when the wrapping coin storage box in which the wrapping coin roll C of the denomination coin to be packed second is to be stored, the CPU 70 drives the lower conveyance belt motor 94, the lift motor 95, and the supply belt motor 96. A signal is output to drive the conveyor belt 36, the coin lift belt 37, and the supply belt 38.

  As a result, coins other than those designated by the operator collected in the lower hopper 35 as denomination coins to be wrapped are transferred to the coin lift belt 37 by the transport belt 36 that forms the bottom of the lower hopper 35. Delivered.

  The coins transferred from the transport belt 36 to the coin lift belt 37 are locked at their lower edges by comb-shaped protrusions 37 a provided on the coin lift belt 37, and are placed on the surface of the coin lift belt 37. Then, the coin surface is conveyed from the lower hopper 35 toward the upper hopper 1.

  As the coin lift belt 37 is driven, the coins delivered to the coin lift belt 37 are respectively sent upward and a scraper plate (not shown) provided near the upper end of the coin lift belt 37. ) Is scraped off from the coin lift belt 37 and falls onto the supply belt 38.

  Thus, the coins dropped on the supply belt 38 are respectively supplied into the upper hopper 1 by the supply belt 38 and fall onto the first rotating disk 2 through the opening 1 a of the upper hopper 1.

  The coins that have dropped onto the first rotating disk 2 are sent onto the second rotating disk 3 by the centrifugal force generated by the rotation of the first rotating disk 2.

  The coins fed into the second rotating disk 3 move along the annular guide due to the centrifugal force generated by the rotation of the second rotating disk 3, and the delivery port provided in the annular guide ( (Not shown) are fed one by one into the coin passage 4.

  The coins fed out from the second rotating disk 3 to the coin passage 4 are transported through the coin passage 4 while being sandwiched between the upper surface of the coin passage 4 and the conveyor belt 5.

  In the direction change part 4a, the coin changes its conveyance direction over the main body of the coin wrapping machine over approximately 90 degrees, and then the coin detection part 7 provided in the coin passage 4 on the downstream side of the direction change part 4a. Sent to.

  The coin optical data and material data are detected by the coin discriminating unit 7, and the optical data and material data of the coin detected by the coin discriminating unit 7 are output from the coin discriminating unit 7 to the CPU 70.

  When the CPU 70 receives the optical data and material data of the coin from the coin discriminating unit 7, it reads out the reference optical data and the reference material data of the coin stored in the ROM 71 in the ROM 71 and is inputted from the coin discriminating unit 7. Compared with the optical data and material data of the coin, it is determined whether the coin is an acceptable coin or an unacceptable coin such as a counterfeit coin or a foreign coin. Further, the denomination of the coin is determined, and the determination result is written in the RAM 72.

  In the case of generating a wrapping coin roll C of denomination coins to be secondly packed, unacceptable coins such as counterfeit coins and foreign coins among the coins put into the coin wrapping machine are already in the coin collection box. Therefore, the CPU 70 determines that the coin is an acceptable coin, determines the denomination of the coin, and writes the determination result in the RAM 72.

  When the coin is further conveyed toward the downstream side in the coin passage 4, and the coin is detected by the sensor 8a, a coin detection signal is output from the sensor 8a to the CPU.

  In the case of generating a wrapping coin roll C of denomination coins to be secondly packed, unacceptable coins such as counterfeit coins and foreign coins among the coins put into the coin wrapping machine are already in the coin collection box. Therefore, even if a coin detection signal is input from the sensor 8a, the CPU 70 does not output any signal, and the coin passes through the first coin recovery port 8 and is detected by the sensor 8b. Detected.

  When the sensor 8b detects a coin, a coin detection signal is output to the CPU.

  When the CPU 70 receives the coin detection signal from the sensor 8b, the CPU 70 reads the coin discrimination result written in the RAM 72, and reads the number of coins detected by the sensor 8b into the memory area of the RAM 72 corresponding to the denomination of the coin. Write.

  The coin is further conveyed toward the downstream side in the coin passage 4, and when the coin is detected by the sensor 9a, a coin detection signal is output to the CPU 70 from the sensor 9a.

  When the CPU 70 receives a coin detection signal from the sensor 9 a, the CPU 70 reads the coin discrimination result stored in the RAM 72 and reads the denomination of the coin to be wrapped stored in the RAM 72.

  The CPU 70 matches the denomination of the coin to be packed with the second denomination of the coin based on the coin determination result stored in the RAM 72 and the denomination of the coin to be packed stored in the RAM 72. It is determined whether or not to do.

  When it is determined that the denomination of the coin matches the denomination of the coin to be wrapped second, and it is determined that the denomination of the coin does not match the denomination of the coin to be wrapped The CPU 70 outputs a drive signal to the second solenoid 84 to rotate the second projecting member 9d from the retracted position retracted into the guide rail 6c to the projecting position projecting into the coin passage 4.

  As a result, the coin determined that the denomination does not match the denomination of the coin to be wrapped second is pushed toward the guide rail 6b by the second projecting member 9d, and the inner wall of the guide rail 6c. And is sent to the second coin collecting port 9 without being guided by the inner wall of the guide rail 6c.

  The second coin recovery port 9 has a distance L5 between the inner wall of the guide rail 6c and the tip of the second protruding member 9d at the protruding position so that the inner wall of the guide rail 6c and the second coin recovery port 9 Since it is formed so as to be slightly larger than the distance L6 with the edge on the guide rail 6c side, the coin determined that the denomination does not match the denomination of the coin to be wrapped second is The edge on the side of the guide rail 6c is not supported on the upper surface of the coin passage 4 between the guide rail 6c and the second coin recovery port 9, falls into the second coin recovery port 9, and the second The coins are collected in the lower hopper 35 through the second coin collecting passage 32 connected to the coin collecting port 9.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the denomination of the coin detected by the sensor 8a matches the denomination of the coin to be wrapped second, the CPU 70 outputs no signal.

  As a result, the coin determined that the denomination matches the denomination of the coin to be packaged secondly, both edges are between the guide rail 6c and the second coin collecting port 9. While being supported by the upper surface of the coin passage 4 and the upper surface of the coin passage 4 between the second coin recovery port 9 and the guide rail 6b, the second coin recovery port 9 is sent to the second coin recovery port 9. The distance L4 between the inner wall of the guide rail 6c and the edge of the second coin recovery port 9 on the guide rail 6b side is formed to be slightly smaller than the diameter of the smallest coin to be processed. Therefore, the coin passes through the second coin collecting port 9 without falling into the second coin collecting port 9.

  The coin C that has passed through the coin collection port 9 passes over the sensor 9b and is detected by the sensor 9b.

  When the sensor 9b detects a coin, a coin detection signal is output to the CPU.

  When the CPU 70 receives a coin detection signal from the sensor 9b, the CPU 70 reads out the coin discrimination result written in the RAM 72, and the RAM 72 corresponding to the denomination of the coin, that is, the denomination of the coin to be wrapped second. The number of coins detected by the sensor 9b is written in the memory area.

  The coin of the denomination to be packaged second is further sent downstream in the coin passage 4 toward the end of the coin passage 4.

  The coin of the denomination to be wrapped second that has reached the end portion of the coin passage 4 is sent to the coin accumulating portion 10 connected to the end portion of the coin passage 4.

  The coin of the second denomination sent to the coin stacking unit 10 is accumulated in the same manner as the coin designated as the denomination coin to be wrapped by the operator, and a predetermined number of accumulated coins are collected. Generated.

  The generated accumulated coins are sent to the coin wrapping unit 20 in the same manner as the coins designated as denomination coins to be wrapped by the operator, and are wrapped around by the wrapping rollers 21, 21, 21. The film is wound, and the upper and lower ends of the packaging film wound around the accumulated coins are crimped, and a wrapping coin roll C of a denomination coin to be packaged second is generated.

  Thus, the generated wrapping coin roll C is the second of the first lower wrapping coin storage box 41, the second lower wrapping coin storage box 42, and the upper wrapping coin storage box 45 by the wrapping coin distribution means 51. Prior to the packaging process of the coins of denominations to be packaged, they are sent to the packaging coin storage box determined as the packaging coin storage box to store the coin coins C of the coins of the second denomination to be packaged. And stored.

  As a result, the wrapping coin roll C of the denomination coin to be packaged second is stored in a wrapping coin storage box different from the wrapping coin roll C of the denomination coin specified by the operator. .

  In this way, the coin of the denomination to be wrapped second is packaged one after another, and the wrapping coin roll C is generated. After the completion of the packaging of the denomination coin specified by the operator, from the lower hopper 45, When all the coins sent to the second rotating disk 3 via the upper hopper 1 are sent into the lower hopper 45 and the coin accumulating unit 10, they should be wrapped secondly written in the RAM 72. When it is determined that the number of denominated coins is less than the predetermined number to be wrapped, the second denominated coin accumulated in the coin accumulating unit 10 is transferred to the coin packaging unit 20. Prior to this, the CPU 70 outputs a first drive signal to the distribution means motor 92 to move the first wrapping coin support member 53 of the wrapping coin distribution means 51 from the wrapping coin support position shown in FIG. 7 and 8 There are, about the support shaft 52, over to free about 100 degrees in a clockwise direction 110 degrees, is swung.

  As a result, fractional coins that are less than the predetermined number to be wrapped are sent from the coin wrapping unit 20 to the chute 50 and are not supported by the first wrapping coin support member 53 of the wrapping coin distribution means 51, but wrapping coins. It passes through the distribution means 51 and is collected via a guide plate 56 in a fraction coin recovery box 55 provided below the wrapping coin distribution means 51.

  On the other hand, as a result of successively wrapping the coins of denominations to be packaged one after another, generating a wrapping coin roll C and storing it in the selected wrapping coin storage box, A part of the wrapping coin roll C stored in the first lower wrapping coin storage box 41, the second lower wrapping coin storage box 42 or the upper wrapping coin storage box 45 is stored as the first lower wrapping coin. The opening 41 a of the storage box 41, the opening 42 a of the second lower wrapping coin storage box 42, or the upper opening 65 of the wrapping coin lift 60 are present, and the first lower wrapping coin storage box 41, First packaging coin sensor 41b, second packaging coin sensor 42b or upper packaging corresponding to the second lower packaging coin storage box 42 or the upper packaging coin storage box 45 When a wrapping coin detection signal is input to the CPU 70 from the coin sensor 66, if the wrapping coin roll C is further stored in the wrapping coin storage box, jamming of the wrapping coin roll C occurs. Since it is determined that the wrapping coin roll C cannot be stored in the wrapping coin storage box, the CPU 70 stores the wrapping coin roll C until then according to the wrapping coin storage box selection data stored in the ROM 71. Instead of the wrapping coin storage box, the wrapping coin storage box in which the wrapping coin roll C is to be newly stored is selected.

  That is, the CPU 70 is a packaging corresponding to a packaging coin sensor to which a packaging coin detection signal is input, out of the first lower packaging coin storage box 41, the second lower packaging coin storage box 42, or the upper packaging coin storage box 45. Whether or not the wrapping coin roll C has already been stored in the corresponding wrapping coin storage box by sequentially accessing the memory area of the RAM 72 in which data about the wrapping coin storage box excluding the coin storage box is stored. It determines and the presence or absence of the packaging coin storage box in which the packaging coin roll C is not accommodated is determined.

  As a result, when it is determined that there are a plurality of wrapping coin storage boxes in which the wrapping coin roll C is not stored, the CPU 70 newly opens the wrapping coin roll C according to the wrapping coin storage box selection data stored in the ROM 71. Select the wrapping coin storage box to be stored.

  When a wrapping coin storage box for newly storing the wrapping coin roll C is selected, the CPU 70 causes the alarm means 106 to generate an alarm, and until then, the wrapping coin storage box in which the wrapping coin roll C has been stored, It is impossible to store the wrapping coin roll C any more, and instead of the wrapping coin storage box in which the wrapping coin roll C has been stored until then, the wrapping coin roll is newly added to the selected wrapping coin storage box. A message suggesting that C should be stored is displayed on the display panel 105.

The wrapping coin roll storage indicates that the wrapping coin roll C of the coin of the denomination designated by the operator is stored in the memory area of the RAM 72 that stores data on the wrapping coin storage box determined and selected as the storage box. Write as data.

  On the other hand, to the operating unit 100, the operator does not agree to store the packaging coin roll C in the packaging coin storage box proposed by the CPU 70 by operating a predetermined key of the operating unit 100. When input, the CPU 70 follows the packaging coin storage box selection data stored in the ROM 71 and the packaging coin storage box in which the packaging coin roll C has been stored until then and the packaging coin storage box that the operator has not agreed to. A wrapping coin storage box other than the wrapping coin storage box that does not store the wrapping coin roll C is newly selected as a wrapping coin storage box in which the wrapping coin roll C is to be stored, and an alarm is generated in the alarm means 106. And replace it with a wrapping coin storage box that had previously stored the wrapping coin roll C. , The reselected wrapped coin accommodating box, a message to suggest that should house the wrapped coin roll C, is displayed on the display panel 105.

  As a result, the operator operates the predetermined key of the operation unit 100 to input to the operation unit 100 that he / she agrees to store the wrapping coin roll C in the wrapping coin storage box re-proposed by the CPU 70. When the operator does not input any signal to the operation unit 100 within a predetermined time in response to the re-suggestion of the CPU 70, the CPU 70 stores the data about the packaging coin storage box. In the memory area, the fact that the wrapping coin roll C of the denomination designated by the operator is stored is written as wrapping coin roll storage data, and an alarm is generated in the alarm means 106, and the wrapping coin storage box In addition, a message indicating that the wrapping coin roll C should be stored is displayed on the display panel 105 again. To.

  On the other hand, to the operation unit 100, the operator does not agree to store the packaging coin roll C in the packaging coin storage box re-proposed by the CPU 70 by operating a predetermined key of the operation unit 100. When entered, the coin wrapping machine is not left with a wrapping coin storage box that can store the wrapping coin roll C, and it is impossible to continue the coin wrapping. In addition, an alarm is generated in the alarm means 106, and in addition to this packaging coin storage box, the display panel 105 displays that there is no packaging coin storage box that can store the packaging coin roll C, A message requesting the operator to reconsider is displayed on the display panel 105.

  As a result, the operator operates the predetermined key of the operation unit 100 to input to the operation unit 100 that he / she agrees to store the wrapping coin roll C in the wrapping coin storage box re-proposed by the CPU 70. When the operator does not input any signal to the operation unit 100 within a predetermined time in response to the re-suggestion of the CPU 70, the CPU 70 stores the data about the packaging coin storage box.

To.

  On the other hand, the operator operates the predetermined key of the operation unit 100 and still does not agree to store the packaging coin roll C in the packaging coin storage box re-proposed by the CPU 70. When it is input to 100, the CPU 70 interrupts the coin wrapping process and causes the alarm means 106 to generate an alarm, and from the wrapping coin storage box in which the wrapping coin roll C has been stored, the wrapping coin roll C is removed. A message urging the operator to take out is displayed on the display panel 105.

  In response to the message from the CPU 70 displayed on the display panel 105, the operator pulls out the wrapping coin storage box that has previously stored the wrapping coin roll C from the coin wrapping machine and removes the stored wrapping coin roll C. After taking out and setting the wrapping coin storage box in the coin wrapping machine, when a predetermined key of the operation unit 100 is operated and a start signal is input, the start signal is input to the CPU 70, and at the same time, the operator inputs the wrapping coin roll C. Since no wrapping coin detection signal is input from the wrapping coin sensor corresponding to the wrapping coin storage box, the CPU 70 wraps the wrapping coin roll written in the memory area of the RAM 72 for storing data about the wrapping coin storage box. Erase the stored data, and re-pack the packaging coin storage box In addition, data indicating that the wrapping coin roll C of the denomination coin specified by the operator is stored is written, and an alarm is generated in the alarm means 106. Subsequently, the wrapping that has stored the wrapping coin roll C until then is performed. A message to the effect that the wrapping coin roll C is stored in the coin storage box is displayed on the display panel 105.

  On the other hand, when the operator does not take out the wrapping coin roll C stored in the wrapping coin storage box in which the wrapping coin roll C has been stored, and the start signal is not input to the operation unit 100, the CPU 70 The operator takes out the wrapping coin roll C stored in the wrapping coin storage box that has been storing the wrapping coin roll C until then, and interrupts the coin wrapping process until a start signal is input to the operation unit 100. .

  On the other hand, when it is determined that there is only one wrapping coin storage box in which the wrapping coin roll C is not stored, the CPU 70 stores the wrapping coin storage box in which the wrapping coin roll C should be newly stored. As a box, the alarm means 106 generates an alarm, and until then, the wrapping coin storage box that has been storing the wrapping coin roll C cannot store the wrapping coin roll C any more. Instead of the wrapping coin storage box in which the wrapping coin roll C has been stored, a message that suggests that the wrapping coin roll C should be newly stored in the selected wrapping coin storage box is displayed on the display panel 105. To display.

  Based on the message displayed on the display panel 105, when the operator operates the predetermined key of the operation unit 100 and inputs an agreement to the proposal of the CPU 70, or the message displayed on the display panel 105 On the other hand, when the operator does not input any signal to the operation unit 100 within a predetermined time, the CPU 70 uses the selected wrapping coin storage box as the wrapping coin to newly store the wrapping coin roll C. The wrapping coin roll storage indicates that the wrapping coin roll C of the coin of the denomination designated by the operator is stored in the memory area of the RAM 72 that stores data on the wrapping coin storage box determined and selected as the storage box. Write as data.

  On the other hand, to the operating unit 100, the operator does not agree to store the packaging coin roll C in the packaging coin storage box proposed by the CPU 70 by operating a predetermined key of the operating unit 100. When entered, the coin wrapping machine is not left with a wrapping coin storage box that can store the wrapping coin roll C, and it is impossible to continue the coin wrapping. In addition, an alarm is generated in the alarm means 106, and in addition to this packaging coin storage box, the display panel 105 displays that there is no packaging coin storage box that can store the packaging coin roll C, A message requesting the operator to reconsider is displayed on the display panel 105.

  As a result, when the operator operates the predetermined key of the operation unit 100 and inputs to the operation unit 100 that the CPU 70 agrees to the re-suggestion, or in response to the re-suggestion of the CPU 70, the operator When no signal is input to the operation unit 100 within the time, the CPU 70 wraps the coin of the denomination designated by the operator in the memory area of the RAM 72 that stores data about the wrapping coin storage box. The fact that the coin roll C is stored is written as packaging coin roll storage data, an alarm is generated in the alarm means 106, and a message that the packaging coin roll C should be stored in the packaging coin storage box is renewed. , Display on the display panel 105.

  On the other hand, the operator operates the predetermined key of the operation unit 100 and still does not agree to store the packaging coin roll C in the packaging coin storage box re-proposed by the CPU 70. When it is input to 100, the CPU 70 interrupts the coin wrapping process and causes the alarm means 106 to generate an alarm, and from the wrapping coin storage box in which the wrapping coin roll C has been stored, the wrapping coin roll C is removed. A message urging the operator to take out is displayed on the display panel 105.

  In response to the message from the CPU 70 displayed on the display panel 105, the operator pulls out the wrapping coin storage box that has previously stored the wrapping coin roll C from the coin wrapping machine and removes the stored wrapping coin roll C. After taking out and setting the wrapping coin storage box in the coin wrapping machine, when a predetermined key of the operation unit 100 is operated and a start signal is input, the start signal is input to the CPU 70, and at the same time, the operator inputs the wrapping coin roll C. Since no wrapping coin detection signal is input from the wrapping coin sensor corresponding to the wrapping coin storage box, the CPU 70 wraps the wrapping coin roll written in the memory area of the RAM 72 for storing data about the wrapping coin storage box. Erase the stored data, and re-pack the packaging coin storage box In addition, data indicating that the wrapping coin roll C of the denomination coin specified by the operator is stored is written, and an alarm is generated in the alarm means 106. Subsequently, the wrapping that has stored the wrapping coin roll C until then is performed. A message to the effect that the wrapping coin roll C is stored in the coin storage box is displayed on the display panel 105.

  On the other hand, when the operator does not take out the wrapping coin roll C stored in the wrapping coin storage box in which the wrapping coin roll C has been stored, and the start signal is not input to the operation unit 100, the CPU 70 The operator takes out the wrapping coin roll C stored in the wrapping coin storage box that has been storing the wrapping coin roll C until then, and interrupts the coin wrapping process until a start signal is input to the operation unit 100. .

  Thus, when a wrapping coin storage box in which the wrapping coin roll C is to be stored is newly determined, the CPU 70 positions the wrapping coin transport member 63 at a predetermined position according to the determined wrapping coin storage box, The coin wrapping process is restarted, and the coins of the denominations to be wrapped second are wrapped one after another, and a wrapping coin roll C including a predetermined number of coins is generated and stored in the wrapping coin storage box. .

  Next, the coin of the denomination to be wrapped second is wrapped, and a wrapping coin roll C including a predetermined number of coins is generated and stored in a new wrapping coin storage box. When a wrapping coin detection signal is input to the CPU 70 from the wrapping coin sensor corresponding to the storage box, a new wrapping coin storage box in which the wrapping coin roll C is to be stored is again determined in the same manner as described above. Then, the coin wrapping process, the wrapping coin roll C generation process, and the wrapping coin storage box storage process are continued.

  In this way, the coins of the denominations to be secondly wrapped are successively wrapped, a wrapping coin roll C including a predetermined number of coins is generated, stored in a predetermined wrapping coin storage box, and designated by the operator After the coins of denominations to be packaged are completed, all the coins sent from the lower hopper 45 to the second rotating disk 3 via the upper hopper 1 are transferred to the lower hopper 45, the coin accumulating unit 10 and the fraction. When it is sent into the coin recovery box 55, the coin of the denomination designated as the denomination to be wrapped by the operator is wrapped, and when the wrapping coin roll C is generated, the receivable recovered in the lower hopper 45 is accepted. The coins of the denomination coins with the largest number of detected coins and the generation of the wrapping coin roll C are completed.

  When the second packaging processing mode is selected by the operator, when the coin of the denomination designated as the denomination to be packaged by the operator is packaged and the packaging coin roll C is generated, the lower hopper 45. When the wrapping of the denominated coins collected in 45 and the generation of the wrapping coin roll C having the highest number of detected coins is completed, the denomination designated as the denomination to be packed by the operator Wrapping the coins and generating the wrapping coin roll C, the coins of the denominated coins that are the second most common coins detected in the lower hopper 45 are started. Is done.

  That is, when the CPU 70 first accesses the RAM 72 and wraps the coin of the denomination designated as the denomination to be wrapped by the operator and generates the wrapping coin roll C, it is collected in the lower hopper 45. The coin with the second largest number of accepted coins is selected, the third is determined as the coin of the denomination to be wrapped, written to the RAM 72, and the alarm means 106 is alarmed. And the third denomination of the coin to be wrapped is displayed on the display panel 105.

  Next, the CPU 70 accesses the memory area of the RAM 72 storing data about the first lower wrapping coin storage box 41, the second lower wrapping coin storage box 42, and the upper wrapping coin storage box 45, and the memory. The packaging coin roll storage data written in the area is read, the packaging coin storage box in which the packaging coin roll C is not stored is detected, and according to the packaging coin storage box selection data stored in the ROM 71, thirdly A wrapping coin storage box in which a wrapping coin roll C of denomination coins to be packed is stored is determined.

  Here, the wrapping coin storage box to store the wrapping coin roll C of the denomination coin to be packaged third is determined in the same manner as in the case of starting the wrapping of the denominated coin that has been wrapped second. Is done.

  In this way, when the packaging coin storage box to store the wrapping coin roll C of the denomination coin to be packaged third is determined, the CPU 70 drives the lower conveyance belt motor 94, the lift motor 95, and the supply belt motor 96. A signal is output to drive the conveyor belt 36, the coin lift belt 37, and the supply belt 38.

  As a result, coins other than those designated by the operator collected in the lower hopper 35 as denomination coins to be wrapped are transferred to the coin lift belt 37 by the transport belt 36 that forms the bottom of the lower hopper 35. Delivered.

  The coins transferred from the transport belt 36 to the coin lift belt 37 are locked at their lower edges by comb-shaped protrusions 37 a provided on the coin lift belt 37, and are placed on the surface of the coin lift belt 37. Then, the coin surface is conveyed from the lower hopper 35 toward the upper hopper 1.

  As the coin lift belt 37 is driven, the coins delivered to the coin lift belt 37 are respectively sent upward and a scraper plate (not shown) provided near the upper end of the coin lift belt 37. ) Is scraped off from the coin lift belt 37 and falls onto the supply belt 38.

  Thus, the coins dropped on the supply belt 38 are respectively supplied into the upper hopper 1 by the supply belt 38 and fall onto the first rotating disk 2 through the opening 1 a of the upper hopper 1.

  The coins that have dropped onto the first rotating disk 2 are sent onto the second rotating disk 3 by the centrifugal force generated by the rotation of the first rotating disk 2.

  The coins fed into the second rotating disk 3 move along the annular guide due to the centrifugal force generated by the rotation of the second rotating disk 3, and the delivery port provided in the annular guide ( (Not shown), one coin at a time in the coin passage 4, and the third denominated coin is selectively used in the same manner as the second denominated coin, The coins are sent to the coin accumulating unit 10 to generate an accumulated coin in which a predetermined number of coins are accumulated.

  The generated accumulated coins are sent to the coin wrapping unit 20 in the same manner as the coins of the denominated second type, and the wrapping film is wound around the wrapping rollers 21, 21, 21, The upper and lower ends of the packaging film wound around the accumulated coins are crimped, and a denomination coin wrapping coin roll C to be packaged third is generated.

  The wrapping coin roll C thus generated is the third of the first lower wrapping coin storage box 41, the second lower wrapping coin storage box 42 and the upper wrapping coin storage box 45 by the wrapping coin distribution means 51. Prior to the packaging process of the coins of denominations to be packaged, it is sent to the packaging coin storage box determined as the packaging coin storage box to store the packaging coin roll C of the coins of the third denomination to be packaged. And stored.

  Thus, the coins of the denomination to be packaged third are successively wrapped, and the wrapping coin roll C is generated, which is then packaged third before the denomination coin to be packaged third. When a wrapping coin detection signal is input to the CPU 70 from the wrapping coin sensor corresponding to the wrapping coin storage box as a result of being stored in the wrapping coin storage box that should store the wrapping coin roll C of the denomination coin , CPU 70, in the same way as storing the wrapping coin roll C of the denominated coin of the second wrapping in the new wrapping coin storage box, A wrapping coin storage box in which the wrapping coin roll C is to be stored is determined, and a wrapping coin roll C of a denomination coin to be packed third is stored.

  Next, coins of denominations to be packaged third are packaged, a packaging coin roll C containing a predetermined number of coins is generated, stored in a predetermined packaging coin storage box, and secondly to be packaged After completing the packaging of the seed coins, all the coins sent from the lower hopper 45 to the second rotating disk 3 via the upper hopper 1 are transferred to the lower hopper 45, the coin accumulating unit 10 and the fraction coin collecting box 55. If it is sent in, the packaging processing of the coin of the denomination to be packaged third, the generation processing of the packaging coin roll C, and the storage processing in the packaging coin storage box are completed.

  Similarly, after all the accepted coins put into the coin wrapping machine have been packed with the denomination coins to be packed specified by the operator, the number of coins stored in the lower hopper 45 is in descending order. The wrapping coin roll C is sequentially generated and stored in a predetermined wrapping coin storage box.

  Thus, when the packaging process of all the accepted coins input to the coin wrapping machine, the generation process of the wrapping coin roll C, and the storage process in the wrapping coin storage box are completed, the CPU 70 performs the first rotating disk motor 80. A drive stop signal is output to each of the second rotary disk motor 81 and the conveyor belt motor 82 to stop the rotation of the first rotary disk 2 and the second rotary disk 3, and the conveyor belt. The driving of 5 is stopped, and the wrapping process of the coins put into the coin wrapping machine is finished.

  When the coin wrapping process is completed, the operator lowers the first lower wrapping coin storage box 41, the second lower wrapping coin storage box 42 and / or the upper wrapping coin storage box 45 from the coin wrapping machine, The wrapping coin roll C stored in the one lower wrapping coin storage box 41, the second lower wrapping coin storage box 42 and / or the upper wrapping coin storage box 45 is taken out by the operator, and the fraction coin collecting box 55 is The fractional coins of the denomination to be packaged, which are drawn from the coin wrapping machine and collected in the fractional coin collection box 55, are collected by the operator.

  Furthermore, the lower hopper 45 is pulled out from the coin wrapping machine by the operator, and coins that can be received in denominations other than denominations to be packaged collected in the lower hopper 45 are collected. Unacceptable coins such as fake coins and foreign coins drawn out from the coin wrapping machine and collected in the coin collection box 31 are collected separately from the accepted coins.

  According to this embodiment, even if it becomes impossible to store the wrapping coin roll C in the wrapping coin storage box that has been storing the wrapping coin roll C until then, the wrapping coin roll C is automatically added. Since a wrapping coin storage box that is not stored is selected and the wrapping coin roll C is stored, even when a large amount of coins is packaged, the packaging process is not interrupted. Over time, the coin wrapping machine can be operated continuously to wrap the coins, very efficiently wrapping the coins, generating the wrapping coin roll C, and into the desired wrapping coin storage box It can be stored.

  Further, according to this embodiment, the first lower wrapping coin storage box 41 and the second lower wrapping coin storage box 42 are detachably attached to the lower part of the coin wrapping machine, and the upper wrapping to the upper part of the coin wrapping machine. Since the coin storage box 45 is detachably attached and the coin wrapping machine is provided with three wrapping coin storage boxes, even when a large amount of coins is packaged, the packaging process is not interrupted. Over time, the coin wrapping machine can be operated continuously to wrap the coins, very efficiently wrapping the coins, generating the wrapping coin roll C, and into the desired wrapping coin storage box It can be stored.

  Furthermore, according to this embodiment, when the second packaging processing mode is selected and the coins put into the coin wrapping machine are sequentially packaged for each denomination, and the wrapping coin roll C is generated, Since the wrapping coin roll C is stored in a different wrapping coin storage box for each denomination of coins, the wrapping coin roll C is transferred to each denomination extremely efficiently after the packaging process is completed. Can be recovered.

  Moreover, according to this embodiment, since it is comprised so that an operator can designate the wrapping coin storage box which should store the wrapping coin roll C, it corresponds to an operator's intention, and it is in a concrete situation. It becomes possible to execute a regular coin packaging process.

  Furthermore, according to this embodiment, the wrapping coin roll C that has been wrapping the wrapping coin roll C can no longer be stored in the wrapping coin roll C. When a packaging coin storage box for storing the packaging coin roll C is proposed, when the operator does not agree to store the packaging coin roll C in the packaging coin storage box proposed by the coin packaging machine, Since it is configured to store the wrapping coin roll C in the wrapping coin storage box that the operator agrees with, it is possible to execute coin wrapping processing in accordance with the operator's intention and according to specific circumstances. become.
