[0002] Conventionally, an accumulation mechanism has been described in which a spiral protrusion provided on each of a pair of accumulation drums is lowered in synchronization with the supply of coins, so that the coins are stacked and accumulated in an upward direction in order (see, for example, Patent Document 1). [Patent Document 1] JP 2008-217564 A DISCLOSURE OF THEINVENTION [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0003] However, in the above-mentioned coin stacking mechanism, when a coin is discharged horizontally and stacked on the protrusion with its rear part tilted backward, the preceding coin stacked on the protrusion receives and decelerates the following horizontally oriented coin, but when the following horizontally oriented coin collides with the unevenness formed on the front and back of the preceding coin tilted backward, it may bounce unintentionally and prevent smooth stacking. Also, the pair of stacking drums is large, which tends to increase the size of the coin stacking mechanism.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0011] An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the following, when the number, numerical value, amount, range, etc. of components are mentioned, the number is not limited to the specific number, and may be more or less than the specific number, unless otherwise specified or when it is clearly limited to a specific number in principle.

[0012] In addition, when referring to the shape or positional relationship of components, etc., this includes things that are substantially similar or approximate to those shapes, etc., unless otherwise specified or considered to be clearly different in principle.

[0013] In addition, the drawings may exaggerate characteristic parts to make the features easier to understand, and the dimensional ratios of the components may not be the same as in reality.

[0014] Next, a coin wrapping machine 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The coin wrapping machine 1 stacks a predetermined number of loose coins and wraps the stacked coins thus formed in a predetermined amount of wrapping paper H such as transparent polyethylene film to form them into a rod shape.

[0015] First, the external configuration of the coin wrapping machine 1 will be described with reference to Fig. 1. An inlet 2 through which an operator inserts loose coins to be wrapped is provided at the top of the coin wrapping machine 1. A cover 3 for opening and closing the inlet 2 is provided on the inlet 2, and the cover 3 is adapted to be opened and closed manually.

[0016] In addition, near the coin insertion port 2, there is provided a touch sensor panel 6 which combines an operation input unit 4 where the operator inputs various settings such as denomination information for the wrapping operation and operation inputs for starting and stopping the wrapping process, and a display unit 5 which displays the results of counting coins in the coin wrapping machine 1, as well as guidance for various settings such as the wrapping operation and printing content, and the setting contents, etc.

[0017] Next, the basic internal configuration of the coin wrapping machine 1 will be described with reference to Fig. 2. In Fig. 2, reference numeral 18 denotes a stacking mechanism that stacks loose coins inserted collectively through the insertion port 2 in an open state.

[0018] The coin accumulation mechanism 10 has a rotary hopper 11 that receives loose coins inserted all at once through the open coin slot 2 (see FIG. 1), and a coin passage 12 that receives and transports coins that are dispensed one by one by centrifugal force generated by the rotation of the rotary hopper 11. Note that the rotary hopper 11 may be configured to include, for example, a turntable that receives a large amount of inserted coins and divides them into smaller coins, and a supply plate that receives coins from the turntable and dispenses them one by one to the coin passage 12, but is not limited to this.

[0019] The coin passage 12 has a feed 13 at its upper part that transports coins one by one. An identification unit (not shown) is provided midway along the coin passage 12, and the genuineness and denomination of coins transported through the coin passage 12 are determined as necessary. Here, the coin passage 12 is provided with a rejection hole (not shown), and coins that are not determined to be genuine by the identification unit fall through the rejection hole. In other words, the coin passage 12 transports only genuine coins.

[0020] As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the coin accumulation mechanism 10 includes an accumulation bearing 14, a rotor 15, and a cross belt 16.

[0021] The accumulation bearing 14 is provided near the outlet of the coin passage 12. The accumulation bearing 14 is rotatable about a rotation axis (not shown), and supports the coins transferred from the coin passage 12 from below and guides the coins C toward the rotor 15.

[0022] The rotating bodies 15 are provided on both sides of a transport path P through which coins C pass. The rotating bodies 15 are formed in a substantially circular plate shape and are provided rotatably in a rotation direction D.

[0023] The rotating body 15 has deceleration grooves 17 formed in the lower corners. Four deceleration grooves 17 are provided along the circumferential direction of the rotating body 15. The number of deceleration grooves 17 may be three or less or five or more. The circumferential length of the deceleration grooves 17 is formed to be slightly larger than the diameter of the coin C.

[0024] In the deceleration groove 17, a coin receiving portion 17a, a coin slipping portion 17b, and a tapered portion 17c are formed in this order along the rotation direction D.

[0025] The coin receiving portion 17a is formed vertically at the front end in the rotation direction D. The coin slipping portion 17b connects the coin receiving portion 17a and the tapered portion 17c. The height of the coin slipping portion 17b is formed to be greater than the thickness of the coin C when viewed from the side. The tapered portion 17c is provided at the rear end in the rotation direction D and is inclined so that the height of the deceleration groove 17 gradually decreases from the front to the rear in the rotation direction D.

[0026] A pair of rotating bodies 15 are fixedly positioned evenly on either side of the center of the conveying path P, and the diameter of the rotating bodies 15 is set according to the coin C with the smallest diameter, while the radial depth of the coin insertion portion 17b is set according to the coin C with the largest diameter, thereby making it possible to accommodate a variety of coins C regardless of their diameter.

[0027] The crosspiece belt 16 is configured with an endless lifting belt 16a having a horizontal step 16b provided on the outer periphery thereof. The lifting belt 16a is configured to be rotatable in a predetermined direction (clockwise in FIG. 2) by a drive motor (not shown) in synchronization with the supply of coins from the coin passage 12. A plurality of coins are stacked and accumulated in a vertical direction on the step 16b in a horizontal state to form accumulated coins.

[0028] A horizontal shutter 25 may be provided below the crossbeam belt 16, on whose upper surface a predetermined number of stacked coins are placed. The horizontal shutter 25 is rotatable about a rotation axis 25a and is provided so as to be able to open and close a coin drop hole (not shown). When the horizontal shutter 25 is opened, the stacked coins placed on its upper surface are dropped and handed over to the packaging mechanism 20 below via the coin drop hole.

[0029] The packaging mechanism 20 has a liftable support rod 21 that supports from below the accumulated coins dropped from the horizontal shutter 25, three parallel packaging rollers 22 arranged vertically around the support rod 21, and a packaging motor (see Figure 5) 23 that rotates and drives these packaging rollers 22.

[0030] One of the wrapping rollers 22 can move toward or away from the remaining two. When one of the wrapping rollers 22 is separated from the remaining two, it is configured to receive the accumulated coins sent from the coin stacking mechanism 10, and when the one of the wrapping rollers 22 receives the accumulated coins in this manner, it moves toward the remaining two, thereby sandwiching the accumulated coins between the three. In this state, the wrapping roller 22 is driven to rotate, and wrapping paper H is sandwiched between the wrapping roller 22 and the accumulated coins, so that the wrapping paper H is wrapped around the periphery of the accumulated coins.

[0031] The wrapping mechanism 20 also has upper and lower crimping claws 24 for crimping both surplus portions of the wrapping paper H that protrude above and below the accumulated coins as described above.

[0032] A wrapping paper supply mechanism 40 is provided on the side of the wrapping mechanism 20 to supply wrapping paper H to the wrapping mechanism 20. The wrapping paper supply mechanism 40 has a pair of paper feed rollers 42 that clamp the wrapping paper H unwound from a wrapping paper roll 41 supported to be rotatable about a vertical axis, thereby pulling out the wrapping paper H from the wrapping paper roll 41 by a length corresponding to the amount of rotation and supplying it toward the accumulated coins, a paper feed motor (see FIG. 5) 43 that drives the paper feed rollers 42 to rotate at a constant speed, a plurality of guide rollers 44 that guide the wrapping paper H unwound from the paper feed rollers 42 by the drive of the paper feed motor 43 toward the wrapping roller 22, and a cutter 45 that cuts the wrapping paper H. The cutter 45 is configured to cut the wrapping paper H by tension generated in the wrapping paper H when the paper feed roller 42 is stopped and the wrapping roller 22 is driven to rotate.

[0033] 5 issues various control commands for the coin wrapping machine 1, and is connected to the operation input unit 4, the display unit 5, the paper feed motor 43, the wrapping motor 23, etc., as well as to a ROM 51 that stores the control program and reference data for the coin wrapping machine 1, and a RAM 52 that stores the validation results and counting results of the appraisal unit. The paper feed motor 43, etc. are configured to operate based on control commands from the CPU 50.

[0034] Next, the operation of the coin wrapping machine 1 having the above configuration will be described. First, when an operator inserts loose coins of mixed denominations into the insertion port 2 and performs an input operation to start wrapping from the operation input unit 4, the CPU 50 starts driving control of the rotary hopper 11, and the rotary hopper 11 separates the loose coins inserted into the insertion port 2 one by one and sequentially delivers them to the coin passage 12. Here, the input operation to start wrapping refers to a series of operations in which, for example, the operator inputs data such as the denomination and number of coins to be wrapped, and then confirms the input results on the display unit 5 and performs a decision operation, and the input data is stored in the RAM 52 described above.

[0035] The CPU 50 receives data based on the results of validation and counting of the coins dispensed into the coin passage 12, such as the denomination, authenticity, and damage, from a validation unit installed midway through the coin passage 12, and stores this data in the RAM 52. The CPU 50 also drives and controls the feed 13 to transport the rotor 15 only with genuine coins of the denomination based on the input from the operation input unit 4, and accumulates a predetermined number of coins (for example, about 50 coins).

[0036] Specifically, as shown in Figures 6(a) and (b), the coin C is transferred to the rotor 15 while being maintained in a substantially horizontal position by the accumulation bearing 14. At this time, the deceleration groove 17 waits at a receiving position where at least a part of the coin receiving portion 17a is located on the transport path P of the coin C. When the coin C collides with the coin receiving portion 17a, the coin C is decelerated by the reaction force, while the rotor 15 starts to rotate in the rotation direction D due to the collision force. Note that the rotor 15 rotates with a part of the left and right sides of the coin C accommodated in the coin sinking portion 17b when viewed from below.

[0037] 7(a) and 7(b), when the rotor 15 rotates in the rotation direction D and the rear part of the coin C is pressed downward by the tapered portion 17c, the coin C shifts to a backward inclined position with the rear part lower than the front part. After that, the coin C falls onto the rail belt 16 by its own weight while maintaining the backward inclined position.

[0038] 8(a) and 8(b), the succeeding coin C transferred to the rotor 15 rides on the rear of the preceding coin C which is tilted backward. Then, like the preceding coin C, the succeeding coin C collides with the coin receiving portion 17a, and after shifting to a backward tilted posture by the tapered portion 17c, falls onto the crosspiece belt 16. In this way, both the front and rear coins C are supplied to the crosspiece belt 16 while maintaining the backward tilted posture.

[0039] The coin C supplied to the crossbeam belt 16 falls onto the preceding coin C which is vertically stacked on the step portion 16b in a horizontal position. The succeeding coin C falls onto the preceding coin C while maintaining a backward tilted position, thereby preventing the coin C from colliding with the irregularities formed on the front and back surfaces of the preceding coin C. The lifting belt 16a is synchronized with the transport speed of the feed 13 and lowers one step when a coin supplied through the rotor 15 is placed on the step portion 16b, and the coin supplied thereafter is stacked on top of the preceding coin, so that multiple coins are accumulated in a vertically stacked state on the step portion 16b.

[0040] Then, when the coin stacking mechanism 10 completes stacking a predetermined number of coins, the CPU 50 controls the horizontal shutter 25 to open and moves the stacked coins between the wrapping rollers 22 of the wrapping mechanism 20 that wraps the stacked coins. After that, the CPU 50 controls the three wrapping rollers 22 to sandwich the stacked coins.

[0041] Meanwhile, the CPU 50 drives and controls the paper feed roller 42 of the wrapping paper supply mechanism 40 to supply wrapping paper H from the wrapping paper roll 41 to the wrapping mechanism 20. Then, by driving the wrapping roller 22 with the wrapping paper H sandwiched between the wrapping roller 22 and the circumferential surface of the stacked banknotes, the wrapping paper H is wrapped around the stacked coins a predetermined number of times, and then the excess portions of the wrapping paper H above and below the stacked coins are crimped by the crimping claws 24.

[0042] In this way, the coin accumulation mechanism 10 of this embodiment is a coin accumulation mechanism 10 that accumulates a predetermined number of coins C, and is configured to include a feed 13 that transports the coins C, a crossbar belt 16 that accumulates the coins C, and a rotating body 15 as a supply means that supplies the coins C transported from the feed 13 to the crossbar belt 16 in a tilted backward state.

[0043] According to this configuration, the rotor 15 supplies the coins C transferred from the feed 13 to the crosspiece belt 16 in a tilted state, so that the following coins C can be stacked without colliding with the unevenness formed on the front and back surfaces of the preceding coins C, and therefore the coins can be stacked smoothly. Furthermore, the size can be made smaller than that of a conventional coin stacking mechanism that tilts coins discharged horizontally to stack them.

[0044] In addition, the coin accumulation mechanism 10 is a pair of rotors 15, 15, each of which is provided on either side of the conveying path P and is rotatable in a predetermined rotational direction D as the coin C is transported, and the deceleration groove 17 formed on the peripheral surface of each rotor 15 is configured to include a coin receiving portion 17a formed at the front end in the rotational direction D for receiving the coin C, a tapered portion 17c formed at the rear end in the rotational direction D for pushing down the rear of the coin C, and a coin sliding portion 17b connecting the coin receiving portion 17a and the tapered portion 17c and into which part of the coin C fits.

[0045] According to this configuration, when the coin receiving portion 17a receives a coin C transferred from the feed 13, with a portion of the coin C received in the coin insertion portion 17b, the rotating body 15 rotates in the rotation direction D, and the tapered portion 17c pushes down on the rear of the coin C, thereby tilting the coin C backwards.

[0046] Further, the coin stacking mechanism 10 is configured such that the rotating body 15 is rotated by the collision of the coin C with the coin receiving portion 17a.

[0047] According to this configuration, the rotor 15 rotates without using an external drive source, so the size can be further reduced.

[0048] In addition, the coin accumulation mechanism 10 is configured such that the crossbeam belt 16 has a step portion 16b that accumulates coins C vertically in a horizontal position, and a subsequent coin C supplied to the crossbeam belt 16 falls in a backward tilted state onto the preceding coin C accumulated on the step portion 16b.

[0049] With this configuration, the subsequent coin C falls onto the preceding coin C which is in a horizontal position while maintaining a backward tilted position, thereby preventing the subsequent coin C from colliding with the unevenness formed on the front and back surfaces of the preceding coin C.

[0050] The coin wrapping machine 1 according to the present invention is configured to include the coin stacking mechanism 10 described above.

[0051] According to this configuration, clogging during coin stacking is suppressed, and wrapped stacked coins can be obtained smoothly. In addition, the coin wrapping machine can be made smaller in size by the amount of the coin stacking mechanism being made smaller.

[0052] In the above embodiment, the pair of rotating bodies 15 are rotated by the collision of the coin C. However, the rotating operation of the rotating bodies 15 may be performed by an external drive unit.

[0053] For example, as shown in FIG. 9, a pair of meshing connecting gears 18 may be connected to respective rotors 15, a coin detection sensor 12a may be provided to detect coins transported through the coin passage 12, and a drive unit 19 may be provided to directly or indirectly drive and rotate the connecting gear 18 based on the detection signal from the coin detection sensor 12a.

[0054] With this configuration, the timing at which the coin C is supplied between the rotating bodies 15 coincides with the timing at which the deceleration grooves 17 formed on each of the peripheral surfaces of the pair of rotating bodies 15 reach a position capable of accepting the coin C, thereby enabling the coin C to be transported stably.

[0055] Furthermore, the pair of rotating bodies 15 is not limited to the configuration in which they are fixed at a predetermined distance apart as described above, and may be configured, for example, so that the pair of rotating bodies 15, 15 can move toward and away from each other. As an example of such a configuration, as shown in Figures 10(a) and 10(b), a rotating shaft 15a of the rotating body 15 is connected to a connecting gear 18 via a timing belt 18a, and the rotating shaft 15a is configured to be swingable along the circumferential direction of the connecting gear 18.

[0056] According to this configuration, it is possible to accommodate a variety of coins C by adjusting the interval between the pair of rotors 15 in accordance with the coin diameter.

[0057] Also, a position detection sensor (not shown) capable of determining the relative positional relationship of the deceleration groove 17 in the rotor 15 (phase of the rotor 15) may be provided. As the position detection sensor, for example, one or a plurality of through holes corresponding to the receiving position of the deceleration groove 17 may be formed in one of the connecting gears 18, and a reflection sensor may be used to detect that the deceleration groove 17 has reached the receiving position by detecting the through holes, but a pair of optical sensors, an interrupter, or the like may also be used. By using such a position detection sensor, the rotor 15 can appropriately receive the coins C, thereby preventing clogging of the coins C.

[0058] A positioning part may be provided to appropriately manage the phase of the rotor 15. As the positioning part, for example, a recess corresponding to the receiving position is provided on the outer periphery of the rotor 15, and a latch (positioning part) capable of moving forward and backward in the radial direction of the rotor 15 and engaging with the recess is provided, so that when the latch engages with the recess, the rotor 15 is positioned at the receiving position, and when the drive part 19 rotates the rotor 15, the latch retracts from the recess.

[0059] According to this configuration, by positioning the rotor 15 at a predetermined receiving position so that the coin receiving portion 17a is located on the transport path P, clogging of the coins C can be suppressed.

[0060] Furthermore, by providing a mechanism for maintaining a substantially constant interval between coins C randomly transferred from the rotary hopper 11 in the coin passage 12, the coins C can be stably accumulated. Examples of such mechanisms include a mechanism for temporarily stopping a coin being transferred through the coin passage 12 using a retractable stopper pin or the like to maintain a substantially constant interval between the front and rear coins C, and a mechanism for providing a plurality of bars on the endless belt of the feed 13, each of which can accommodate only one coin C, so that the coin C is transferred through the coin passage 12 by being sandwiched between adjacent bars.

[0061] Furthermore, a stepping motor or the like that drives at a predetermined cycle may be used as the drive unit 19. The stepping motor drives the connecting gear 18 in accordance with the interval between the coins C transferred to the rotors 15, so that the pair of rotors 15 can be driven in synchronization with each other using a simple mechanism that does not involve detection of the coins C by the coin detection sensor 12a.

[0062] Furthermore, when the coins C are continuously transferred at equal intervals, the rotation speed of the drive unit 19 may be set to a substantially constant speed.

[0063] Furthermore, the present invention can be modified in various ways other than those described above without departing from the spirit of the present invention, and it goes without saying that the present invention extends to such modifications. [Explanation of symbols]
