  The control unit 81 has a function of adjusting the rotation speed of the packaging roller 67 according to the selected denomination and adjusting the winding speed of the winding needle 68 to the selected winding speed. .

  Next, the operation of the present embodiment will be described.

  By selecting the packaging mode and denomination in the operation unit 14, the passage width of the passage unit 20, the stacking unit 21 and the packaging unit 22 are automatically adjusted and set according to the selected denomination, and the rotation speed of the packaging roller 67 is adjusted. Set.

  Further, the winding speed of the winding needle 68 is selected by the operation unit 14. At this time, a plurality of winding speeds set in advance on the display unit 13 are displayed, and the selection is facilitated by selecting from these.

  By inserting coins into the hopper 12 and performing a start operation with the operation unit 14, the supply disk 25 of the supply unit 18, the rotary disk 29 of the rotary disk unit 19, and the transport belts 40 and 41 of the passage unit 20 are rotated.

  Coins in the hopper 12 are supplied from the supply disk 25 to the rotating disk 29, and the coins are fed one by one to the passage part 20 by the rotation of the rotating disk 29.

  In the passage portion 20, the coins fed out from the rotary disk 29 are scraped out into the transport path 33 by the first transport belt 40 and transported toward the downstream side in the transport direction.

  Coins that are transported in the transport path 33 are identified by the identification sensor 48, and coins that are normal in the wrapping denomination are transported to the end of the passage section 20, discharged to the stacking section 21, and stacked on the stacking section 21.

  When the identification sensor 48 detects a predetermined number of coins, the next coin is stopped by the stopper 50 and the predetermined number of coins are stacked on the stacking unit 21.

  The accumulated coins accumulated in the accumulation unit are moved to the packaging unit 22, the accumulated coins are sandwiched between the three packaging rollers 67, the packaging roller 67 is rotated by the packaging roller motor 95, and the accumulated coins are collected together with the packaging roller 67. Rotate.

  Thereafter, the tip of the wrapping paper 16 is supplied between the rotating accumulated coin and the packaging roller 67, and the wrapping paper 16 is wound around the circumferential surface of the accumulated coin. The wrapping paper 16 is cut into a predetermined length by the cutter 70 during the wrapping.

  At this time, since the wrapping roller 67 rotates at a rotation speed corresponding to the denomination, the wrapping paper 16 can be wound around the peripheral surface of the accumulated coins with an appropriate tightening degree.

  Thereafter, the cam shaft 73 is rotated by the cam shaft motor 96, and the wrapping operation of the wrapping paper 16 is started. When the camshaft 73 starts to rotate from a fixed position, a pair of upper and lower winding needles 68 move closer to each other, and the upper and lower ends of the wrapping paper 16 are wound around the upper and lower end surfaces of the accumulated coins to create a wrapping coin. . Thereafter, the pair of upper and lower winding needles 68 move away from each other, return to the initial position, and the camshaft 73 rotates once and stops.

  At this time, the pair of upper and lower winding needles 68 wraps the upper and lower end portions of the wrapping paper 16 on the upper and lower end surfaces of the accumulated coins at the selected winding speed.

  Therefore, for example, as shown in FIG. 5, when the winding speed of the denomination A1 is the initial winding speed C, the winding gradient is a little small, and although it can be wound carefully, it is desired to wrap quickly. If there is a request, an appropriate winding gradient that meets the request can be obtained by selecting a winding speed C1 that is faster than the winding speed C in the operation unit 14. On the contrary, when the winding speed of the denomination Ax is the initial winding speed C, the winding gradient is slightly large, the winding is easy to be released, and there is a demand for careful winding, By selecting a winding speed Cx that is slower than the winding speed C in the section 14, it is possible to achieve an appropriate winding gradient that meets the requirements.

  Then, the wrapping coin created by the wrapping unit 22 is discharged downward and thrown out to the wrapping coin dispensing unit 15.

  In this way, the rotation speed of the packaging roller 67 is adjusted according to the denomination, but the winding speed of the winding needle 68 is adjusted to an arbitrarily selected winding speed unrelated to the rotation speed of the packaging roller 67. Therefore, it is possible to reliably wrap in accordance with the state of the wrapping paper 16 and the variation of coins, and also want to wrap carefully even coins of the same denomination or to improve processing efficiency by wrapping quickly. It can correspond to.

  In addition, the winding speed can be easily selected because it can be selected from a plurality of preset winding speeds displayed on the display unit 13.

  The present invention is used in a coin wrapping machine that wraps a predetermined number of accumulated coins.
