Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to a coin counting and packaging machine.

The coin counting and packaging machine handles 6 coins with multiple coins mixed together.
iF! It has the function of sorting jfji''f by denomination and counting the number of stitches, and also packaging, for example, 50 pieces at a time, if necessary.

Due to the mechanism of the above-mentioned coin counting and packaging machine, it is necessary to count and package coins in order starting from the largest diameter coins. After setting and processing a diameter (for example, a 500 yen coin), processing a small diameter hard W while changing the settings sequentially.

By the way, there are six types of coins currently in circulation in Japan, starting with the largest diameter of the 500 yen coin, then decreasing in diameter to the 1o yen coin, 100 yen coin, 5 yen coin, 5o yen coin, and 1 yen coin. If you have mistakenly remembered '1;,
There is a problem in that the counting and packaging machine becomes temporarily unable to process.

The present invention has been proposed in consideration of the above circumstances. By detecting whether the coins are in a bad condition or not, and rewriting the setting data in the memory for operating the sorting and counting section, packaging section, and wrapping paper supply section according to the detection results, it is possible to detect errors caused by errors in the processing order of coins, etc. The purpose is to prevent malfunctions.

The present invention will be explained below with reference to an embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 7.

In the coin counting and packaging machine of the present invention, sorting and counting section A1 counts coins 1 by i. A packaging section B1 for packaging the coins 1, and a supply section C for supplying the wrapping paper 2 to the packaging section B, include, for example,
The mechanism described in No. 30230 is adopted. This mechanism will be explained below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4.

In other words, the person in the sorting and counting department (hereinafter abbreviated as the counting department)
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, by rotating the counter setting motor 3 according to the denomination to be packaged, a thickness adjusting cam 5 is linked to the shaft 4 driven by the counter setting motor 3. , a sorting passage regulating cam 6, a cam cam for detecting irregularities in the accumulation of coins 1, and a cam group 8 of a detection section for detecting the settings of the equipment operated by the setting motor 3. The height adjustment cam 5 adjusts the height of the feed belt 9 according to the thickness of the coin 1 by raising and lowering the support part 10 of the feed belt 9 that transfers the coin 1. 9 is driven by a motor (as shown) via a pulley 11.

The sorting JIFl path regulating cam 6 moves the movable guide 13 through the roller 12 and adjusts the width of the coin sorting passage 15 between the movable guide 13 and the fixed guide 14 according to the diameter of the coin 1. The coin sorting passage 15 performs sorting by dropping coins smaller in diameter than the set coin size from a sorting opening (as shown) formed below the coin sorting passage 15. A star gear 16 is provided at the exit of the coin sorting passage 15, and this star gear 16 meshes with the coins 1 one by one and rotates by a certain angle to display a coin number counter (as shown). It is operated and stops after counting a predetermined number of coins 1.

A shoe 17 is provided at the end of the coin passage 15, and a collecting hole 18 corresponding to the diameter of the coins 1 is provided below the chute 17, and the coins 1 that have fallen through the collecting hole 18 are collected. , an accumulation tube 19 for storing the objects is provided. Further, the accumulation hole 18 is selectively arranged below the chute 17. Note that the accumulation tube 19
is attached so that it can be replaced with one of other diameters in order to accommodate coins of multiple TfA classes. Further, the accumulation cylinder 1
9 is provided with a through hole 20, and on a line passing through the through hole 20, an irregularity detecting device 21 consisting of, for example, a light emitting element and a light receiving element is provided. , the detection cam 7 allows the coins 1 to be moved to a height corresponding to the stacking height of the coins 1. The misalignment detection device 21 detects coins that are diagonally or standing up in the stacking tube 19.

Next, the packaging section B is adjusted by rotating a camshaft 23 by a setting motor 22, as shown in the third column.

A caulking frame 24.24 is attached to the camshaft 23.

This unit 36 is fixed to the support body 34 by a fixing device Ff-37.

Further, the supporting body 34 is attached with a number of units 36 corresponding to the types of coins to be processed, and the number of units 36 is determined, for example, as follows. That is, if there are six types of coins in circulation, it is only necessary to attach six units 36 in one step as shown in FIG. In addition, for Japanese currency, the configuration of the supply section C can be changed by providing three types of units 36, including two types of 100 yen and 10 yen coins, or a new 50 yen coin, and replacing the units 36 or the wrapping paper 2 as necessary. may be simplified.

A wrapping paper 2 is attached to each of the units 36, and the leading end of the wrapping paper 2 is held by a guide 38. Further, the unit 36 is provided with a sensing element 39 having a code corresponding to the denomination of the wrapping paper 2, and this sensing element 39 is connected to a detection unit F (for example, a responsive The element 40) is operated to detect which denomination of wrapping paper 2 is at a position where it can be supplied. The detection section F can be optically or pneumatically, for example, by providing a microswitch and an actuation piece in the unit 36 and the body 1i111, and selectively actuating the microswitch with the actuation piece, or using a proximity switch. By the above method, the predetermined wrapping paper 2 (the unit 36 including the wrapping paper 2) is set at the supply position and fixed by the support fixing device 34'. Incidentally, when the number of types of wrapping paper 2 to be selected is small, the support body 34 may be of a linear movement type instead of the rotary type adopted in this embodiment.
