Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention is directed to a central cash processing center owned by, for example, a bank, in which a predetermined number (for example, 4000 coins) of selected bulk coins are lent and formed. Coins that are used to re-count the loose coins in the cash bag to see if they are the correct number and remove damaged coins, and then wrap them into a specified number (for example, 50 coins) to make a coin bar. This relates to a processing method.

Conventional technology Conventional 1 For example, bulk coins of mixed denominations deposited into banks from shrines, temples, transportation facilities, or amusement centers are ia
They are passed through a separate machine and sorted by type, and a predetermined number (for example, 4,000) of the same type are placed in bags to form cash bags. A large number of these cash bags are manually loaded onto a hand truck-H and transported to the location where the checking and counting device is installed. 1. After the required checks and counts are carried out, they are packed into bags again. This new cash bag is manually placed on a counter to check the number of bags by weight. Next, the cash bags are manually unloaded from the weighing machine and loaded onto the handcart again. The cash bag on the push cart is a constant coin color! A%'1 is transported, and the loose coins inside are manually placed into the hopper of the constant coin packaging device. The inserted bulk coins are wrapped into bars of, for example, 50 coins each by a constant coin wrapping device. A predetermined number of these coins are packed into a shipping box,
The boxes are then manually stacked onto push carts, which are then transported to storage and shipping locations.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention Cash bags are quite heavy because they contain a large number of coins. In the conventional example mentioned above.

The cash bag must be manually transferred many times, or the cash bag must be lifted and loose coins inserted, which is a considerable burden on the personnel. One possible solution to this would be to increase the number of personnel, but this would be a departure from the trend of increasing efficiency and reducing the number of personnel.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the coin processing method of the present invention involves transporting a cash bag containing a predetermined number of sorted bulk coins to a settlement facility using a conveying device, and in the settlement facility, After putting the loose coins into the coin storage section of the self-propelled trolley,
The self-propelled cart feeds the checked and counted loose coins into the checking and counting device, and the checked and counted loose coins are packed back into the bag to form a cash bag, which is then conveyed to a weighing conveyor and weighed, and then the cash bag is wrapped by the conveying device. In this packaging equipment, the loose coins are put into the coin storage section of a self-propelled trolley, and then from the self-propelled trolley, they are put into a fixed number of coin packaging, and the coins formed here are packed into a box with a predetermined number of coins. After being filled, the boxes are transported to a storage facility or shipping location using a transport device.
