Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (Technical field of invention) The present invention pertains to a J packaging machine.

(Background of the Invention) Generally, when packaging a product at the time of sale, the seller uses his or her own wrapping paper and ribbon, and decorates the product with wrapping paper and ribbon in a predetermined manner. Therefore, there is an inconvenience for the customer in that it is not possible to select the desired wrapping paper or ribbon, as well as the desired wrapping method or ribbon decoration.

On the other hand, recently, gifts have been wrapped in desired wrapping paper or ribbons, or decorated with ribbons.

However, there are many types of packaging methods and ribbon decoration methods, and there are disadvantages in that the work is cumbersome.

(Object of the invention) The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned disadvantages.
To provide an automatic packaging machine that can select desired wrapping paper and ribbons, and can perform aesthetic packaging by selecting desired wrapping methods and ribbon decorations.

(Structure and Effects of the Invention) In order to achieve the above object, the present invention includes a pattern recognition unit that determines the size of an object thrown in, and a pattern recognition unit that stores a plurality of wrapping methods and ribbon decoration methods, respectively. a memory, an input section for specifying the desired packaging method and ribbon decoration method in the memory, the size of the article determined by the pattern recognition section, and the i'+7+ input section for inputting the desired packaging method; , the size of the article determined by the pattern recognition section, and the size specified by the input section. Cut the ribbon according to the ribbon decoration method.
The present invention is characterized by having a ribbon decoration mechanism for decorating the packaged article with the cut ribbon.

According to the present invention, desired wrapping and ribbon decorations can be made using desired wrapping paper and ribbons, and beautiful and fun packaging becomes possible.

(The fruit of invention IMVA) The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a front view of an automatic packaging machine according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a CRT display r, and by pressing a key manual section 2, a plurality of wrapping papers and wrapping methods, a plurality of ribbons and ribbon decorations, and origami shapes are selected and displayed as images. 3 is a bill slot, 4 is a coin slot, 5 is a coin slot.
is the change return slot.

6 is a ribbon input port, 7 is a wrapping paper input port, 8 is a product input port, and 9 is a product return port.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram of the automatic color Vt definition in FIG.
RT display 1. A key manpower section 2, a currency mechanism section 10 including a bill slot 3, a coin slot 4, and a change return slot 5, and images of a plurality of wrapping papers and wrapping methods, ribbons, ribbon decoration methods, and origami methods, respectively, are stored. @ the memory 20.

The automatic packaging machine further includes a pattern recognition section 11 that determines the size of the inserted product, a calculation processing section (CPU) 12, a wrapping paper stock section 13 that holds a plurality of wrapping papers, and a wrapping paper selection and cutting section 14. , has a packaging mechanism section 15, and is composed of a ribbon stock section 16 for holding a plurality of ribbons, a ribbon selection/cutting section 17, a ribbon decoration structure 18, and an origami binding mechanism section 19. There is. Wrapping paper selection cutting section 14
A wrapping paper and a ribbon constituted by the wrapping paper input lower and the ribbon input opening 6 shown in FIG. 1 are conveyed to the ribbon selection and cutting section 17, respectively.

Please refer to the flowchart in Figure 3 for the operation of the above embodiment.
(J j, I will explain.

First, in step ST21, it is determined whether a predetermined amount of coins have been inserted into the money slot 4 shown in FIG. 1, and if not, the process branches to step 5T22. In step 5T22, it is determined whether or not a banknote of a predetermined amount or more has been inserted, and if not, step 5
Return to T22. Loop L23 until the predetermined amount is deposited
repeat.

When the predetermined amount is input, the CPU 12 goes to step 5T24 and reads out the image data of the wrapping paper, wrapping method, ribbon, ribbon decoration, and origami method stored in the memory 20, and displays it on the CRI display. . At step 5T25, the operator (customer) selects a desired image from the images displayed on the CRT display 1 and inputs it via the key input section 2. At this time, if the desired wrapping paper or ribbon is not displayed, the wrapping paper or ribbon that has been brought can be thrown into the feeding lower 6, respectively.

Next, in step 5T26, when a product such as a gift that is desired to be wrapped is inputted from the input slot 8 shown in FIG. 1, the pattern recognition unit 11 shown in FIG. 2 determines the size of the product and stores it in the memory 20 (step 5T27).

In step 5T2B, it is determined whether the wrapping paper is selected from externally supplied or built-in paper, and in the latter case, the process branches to step 5T29 and is selected from the wrapping paper stock section 13 (Figure 2). Take out the wrapping paper. If there is only one person in one school, the process branches from step 5T28 to step 5T30.

In step 5T30, the wrapping paper selection/cutting unit 14 selects the packaging method inputted in step 5T25 and step 5T.
The wrapping paper is cut according to the size of the input product recognized in step 27. In step ST31, the packaging mechanism section 15 is activated in accordance with the input packaging method to package the input product.

Next, in step ST32, it is determined whether the ribbon is selected from an external supply or a built-in ribbon.
In the latter case, the process branches to step 5T33, where the selected ribbon is taken from the ribbon stock section 16 and its specific gravity is determined. In the former case, the process branches from step 5T32 to step 5T34.

In step ST34, the ribbon selection and cutting section 14 cuts the ribbon according to the ribbon decoration input in step 5T25 and the size of the inserted product recognized in step 5T27. In step 5T35, the ribbon decoration mechanism unit 18 is driven by the inputted ribbon decoration, and the packaged input product is decorated with a ribbon.

Next, in step 5T36, it is determined whether or not an instruction to attach origami has been input, and if it has been input, the process proceeds to step S.
Branches to T37. In step 5T37, step 5
At T25, the inputted origami 1 (i.e., the built-in wrapping paper or the inserted wrapping paper) is cut, the origami is folded, and it is attached to the wrapped and ribbon-decorated input product.After this, step It is returned to the customer through the return gate at 5T38.

In addition to the above-mentioned origami, decorations such as artificial flowers may be attached.
