It is attached. Here, the drive shaft 92a of the cam drive motor 92 extends in the vertical direction, and a disc-shaped fixed position detection plate 94 and an angle detection plate 96 are arranged on the drive shaft 92a so as to be spaced apart in the vertical direction. Each is attached. When the cam drive motor 92 rotates the drive shaft 92a, the position adjusting cam 90, the fixed position detection plate 94, and the angle detection plate 96 rotate integrally.

  As shown in FIG. 11 and the like, the position adjusting cam 90 has a lower surface of a staircase structure with which a first pin member 82 that moves up and down integrally with the support rod 71 comes into contact, and this first pin member 82. The upper position of the support rod 71 is determined by the position of the lower surface on which the abuts. Details of the configuration of the position adjusting cam 90 will be described later.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, a first detection sensor 95 and a second detection sensor 97 are arranged corresponding to the fixed position detection plate 94 and the angle detection plate 96, respectively. The first detection sensor 95 includes an optical sensor including a light emitting element and a light receiving element that are disposed so as to be spaced apart from each other in the vertical direction with the fixed position detection plate 94 interposed therebetween. The emitted light is received by the light receiving element through the optical axis extending in the vertical direction. Similarly, the second detection sensor 97 includes an optical sensor including a light emitting element and a light receiving element arranged so as to be separated from each other in the vertical direction with the angle detection plate 96 interposed therebetween, and the second detection sensor 97 emits light. The light emitted from the element is received by the light receiving element through the optical axis extending in the vertical direction. The fixed position detecting plate 94 is provided with one light transmitting portion 94a, and the angle detecting plate 96 is provided with a plurality of light transmitting portions 96a arranged along the circumferential direction.

And the 2nd detection sensor 97 will be in the translucent state so that the light emitted from the light emitting element may be received by the light receiving element. On the other hand, when the light transmitting portion 94a of the fixed position detecting plate 94 and the light transmitting portion 96a of the angle detecting plate 96 are not positioned on the optical axis of the first detection sensor 95 or the second detection sensor 97, the first detection sensor 95 is used. In addition, the second detection sensor 97 is in a light shielding state in which light emitted from the light emitting element is blocked by the fixed position detection plate 94 and the angle detection plate 96 and cannot be received by the light receiving element. In the present embodiment, the position of the position adjusting cam 90 in the circumferential direction is adjusted based on the detection information by the first detection sensor 95 and the second detection sensor 97. The details of the position adjusting method in the circumferential direction of the position adjusting cam 90 will be described later.

  Next, the operation of moving the support rod 71 up and down along the vertical direction by the support rod lifting mechanism configured as described above will be described. As described above, when the coins are accumulated in the accumulating portion 30, the support rod 71 is in a lower position such that the horizontal coin placing portion 72 at the upper end of the support rod 71 is retracted downward from the upper surface of the accumulating bottom surface member 33.

Even if an upward force is applied to the swing lever 80 by the contraction force of the spring 88, the swing lever 80 is prevented from further rotating upward about the rotation shaft 80a.

  On the other hand, when a cam shaft drive motor 65 (see FIG. 16), which will be described later, rotates the support rod drive cam 86, the second pin member 84 becomes the lower edge 86a of the support rod drive cam 86 as shown in FIG. The swing lever 80 can be rotated upward about the rotation shaft 80a. At this time, an upward force is applied to the swing lever 80 by the contraction force of the spring 88, so that the first pin member 82 provided at the tip of the swing lever 80 is a U-shaped member 73. The U-shaped member 73 is moved upward by pushing the inner edge portion 73a upward, and the support rod 71 is also moved upward. In this manner, the support rod 71 moves to an upper position where the accumulated coins supported by the support rod 71 are to be packaged by the packaging unit 40. At this time, as shown in FIG. 13, the second pin member 84 is separated from the support rod driving cam 86.

  Moreover, as shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, between the wrapping rollers 42 a to 42 c (described later) of the wrapping unit 40, the uppermost coin among the stacked coins supported by the support rod 71 is pressed from above. A coin holding member 74 is provided. The accumulated coins formed by the accumulating unit 30 are conveyed from the accumulating unit 30 to the packaging unit 40 while being sandwiched between the support rod 71 and the coin pressing member 74.

Of the accumulated coins formed by the above, the upper surface of the coin in the uppermost layer is abutted and pressed downward. The coin pressing member 74 has a substantially cylindrical shape having a diameter smaller than that of the coin. The lower surface of the coin pressing member 74 abuts on the upper surface of the coins accumulated in an inclined state by the accumulating unit 30 and is horizontal in the packaging unit 40. Horizontal portions 76 are formed in contact with and pressed against the upper surface of the coins that are accumulated in each.

  The coin pressing member 74 is supported by a sliding member 78 via an arm member 77 that is passed between the packaging rollers 42 a and 42 b, and the sliding member 78 is used for the top plate 43 and the bottom plate 46 of the coin packaging device 10.

  In the present embodiment, among the three wrapping rollers 42a, 42b, and 42c, the wrapping rollers 42b and 42c are respectively movable in a direction toward and away from the wrapping roller 42a. More specifically, the wrapping roller 42b is supported by a lever 44 provided on the top plate 43 of the coin wrapping apparatus 10 so as to be movable toward and away from the center of the wrapping area 41 of the wrapping portion 40. . The wrapping roller 42c is also supported by a lever 45 provided on the top plate 43 of the coin wrapping apparatus 10 so as to move toward and away from the center of the wrapping area 41 of the wrapping portion 40. In this way, the positions of the wrapping rollers 42b and 42c relative to the wrapping roller 42a and the position of the accumulation roller 36 are adjusted according to the denomination of the coin to be packaged. Note that the wrapping roller 42c is fixed in position when coins are wrapped by the coin wrapping apparatus 10, and moves only when setting the denomination of the coins to be wrapped.

  Next, details of the configuration of the wrapping paper supply unit 50 that supplies wrapping paper to the accumulated coins sandwiched between the three wrapping rollers 42a, 42b, and 42c will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3, the accumulated coins sandwiched between the three wrapping rollers 42a, 42b, and 42c are denoted by reference symbol C, and the wrapping paper to be wound around the accumulated coins is denoted by reference symbol P. Here, FIGS. 2 and 3 are top views of the coin wrapping apparatus 10 shown in FIG. 1, but in FIG. 2, wrapping paper guide members 55 and 56 b to be described later block the side opening portions of the packaging region 41. FIG. 6 is a view showing a state in which a winding needle 61 (described later) of the winding mechanism 60 is positioned at a retracted position where it is retracted from the packaging region 41 while being positioned at a proper advance position. 3 shows the wrapping paper guide members 55 and 56b positioned at a retracted position where the wrapping paper 41 retracts from the side opening portion of the packaging area 41 and opens the side opening portion, and the winding needle of the winding mechanism 60 is shown. It is a figure which shows a state when 61 is located in the advance position which advances to the packaging area | region 41. FIG.

  As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the wrapping paper supply unit 50 includes a wrapping paper supply roll 51 around which a wrapping wrapping paper is wound, and the wrapping-like packaging unwound from the wrapping paper supply roll 51. The paper passes between the pair of guide rollers 52 and 53 and is guided to the packaging region 41 of the packaging unit 40 by the packaging paper guide member 54. Further, in the vicinity of the wrapping paper guide member 54, a belt-like wrapping paper sent to the wrapping paper guide member 54 from between the pair of guide rollers 52, 53 is set to a predetermined length (specifically, 2 of the accumulated coins). A cutting member 58 made of, for example, a cutter or the like is provided. The cutting member 58 allows the wrapping paper to be sent to the packaging region 41 of the packaging unit 40 to have a predetermined length. It is designed to be disconnected.

  A wrapping paper guide member 55 for guiding the wrapping paper sent from the wrapping paper guide member 54 to the wrapping area 41 of the wrapping section 40 is provided in the vicinity of the wrapping area 41 of the wrapping section 40. The wrapping paper guide member 55 can reciprocate along a horizontal plane. More specifically, the wrapping paper guide member 55 is positioned so as to block a side opening portion of the wrapping region 41 (specifically, a side opening portion between the wrapping roller 42a and the wrapping roller 42b). 2) and a retracted position (see FIG. 3) that retracts from the side opening portion of the packaging area 41 and opens the side opening portion (see FIG. 3), as shown in FIG. In addition, the wrapping paper is guided to the wrapping area 41 when the wrapping paper guide member 55 is located at the advanced position.

  Further, wrapping paper guide members 56a, 56b, and 56c are provided in the vicinity of the wrapping rollers 42a, 42b, and 42c around the wrapping area 41, and the wrapping guided to the wrapping area 41 by the wrapping paper guide member 55. The paper is guided by these wrapping paper guide members 56a, 56b, and 56c so as to be wound around the circumferential surface of the accumulated coins. Here, of the three wrapping paper guide members 56a, 56b, and 56c, the two wrapping paper guide members 56a and 56c are fixed at positions corresponding to the denominations of coins. The wrapping paper guide member 56b located in the open portion can reciprocate along a horizontal plane. More specifically, the wrapping paper guide member 56b is advanced from the side opening portion of the packaging region 41 (see FIG. 2) and retracted from the side opening portion of the packaging region 41. 2 when the wrapping paper guide member 56b is located at the advanced position as shown in FIG. The wrapping paper guided to the wrapping area 41 is guided to be wrapped around the circumferential surface of the accumulated coins by the wrapping paper guide members 56a, 56b, 56c.

  Next, the detail of the structure of the winding mechanism 60 which winds up the upper and lower end parts of the wrapping paper wound around the accumulated coins and crimps the upper and lower end surfaces of the accumulated coins will be described. The winding mechanism 60 includes a pair of upper and lower saddle-shaped winding needles 61 and a winding needle moving means 62 that moves the pair of upper and lower winding needles 61. As shown in FIG. 1, the winding needle moving means 62 has a pair of upper and lower support bodies 62 a that respectively support a pair of upper and lower winding needles 61. The pair of upper and lower support bodies 62a are respectively attached to the tips of a pair of upper and lower arms 62b, and these pair of upper and lower arms 62b are supported so as to be slidable in the vertical direction with respect to the swing frame 62c. Here, the pair of upper and lower arms 62b are biased in a direction approaching each other by, for example, a spring (not shown).

  The swing frame 62c is formed in a substantially U-shape in which the upper and lower edges are bent, and a plurality of slide shafts 62d are attached between the upper and lower edges of the swing frame 62c. A pair of upper and lower arms 62b are attached to these slide shafts 62d so as to be slidable in the vertical direction. The swing frame 62c is supported so as to be horizontally pivotable about a pivot shaft 62e penetrating the upper and lower edges of the swing frame 62c, and a pair of upper and lower windings by, for example, a spring (not shown). The telescoping needle 61 is urged to rotate in a direction approaching the packaging region 41 of the packaging unit 40.

  A cam shaft 64 provided with a pair of upper and lower cams 64a is disposed in the vicinity of the swing frame 62c, and a pair of upper and lower arms 62b are moved in the vertical direction corresponding to each cam 64a. A pair of upper and lower levers 64b is provided. The cam shaft 64 is rotated by a cam shaft drive motor 65 (see FIG. 16) so as to rotate once when a single wrapping coin is produced in the packaging process. The base end of each lever 64b is pivotally supported by a support shaft 64c that is fixed in position and extends in the horizontal direction, and each lever 64b can swing in the vertical direction about the support shaft 64c. A cam roller 64d that contacts each cam 64a is attached to an intermediate portion of each lever 64b. Further, a push roller 64e that is in contact with each arm 62b is attached to the tip of each lever 64b. In the upper lever 64b of the pair of upper and lower levers 64b, the upper cam roller 64d is in contact with the upper surface of the upper cam 64a, and the upper push roller 64e is in contact with the lower surface of the upper arm 62b. Thus, the lowering of the upper arm 62b biased downward is restricted. On the other hand, in the lower lever 64b of the pair of upper and lower levers 64b, the lower cam roller 64d is brought into contact with the lower surface of the lower cam 64a, and the lower push roller 64e is placed on the upper surface of the lower arm 62b. By abutting, the rise of the lower arm 62b biased upward is restricted. Then, by one rotation of the cam shaft 64 in the packaging process, the pair of upper and lower levers 64b swings as the pair of upper and lower cams 64a rotate. As a result, the pair of upper and lower arms 62b move in the vertical direction, and thus the pair of upper and lower winding needles 61 also move in the vertical direction.

  Further, a cam 64f is attached to the cam shaft 64, and a cam roller 66 (see FIGS. 2 and 3) capable of contacting the cam 64f is attached to the swing frame 62c. When the cam 64f pushes the cam roller 66, the pair of upper and lower winding needles 61 are retracted from the packaging region 41 of the packaging unit 40 as shown in FIG. On the other hand, during the period in which the cam 64f does not push the cam roller 66 during one rotation of the cam shaft 64 in the packaging process, as shown in FIG. 3, the oscillating frame 62c is biased by a spring (not shown) or the like. A pair of upper and lower winding needles 61 advances into the packaging region 41 of the packaging unit 40 and enables the wrapping operation of the wrapping paper.

  The cam shaft 64 controls the operation of each mechanism of the coin wrapping apparatus 10 so as to create one wrapping coin by one rotation. In addition to the cam 64a and the cam 64f described above, for example, A cam for controlling the movement of the packaging roller 42b, a support rod driving cam 86 for controlling the movement of the support rod 71 of the stacked coin transport unit 70, and the movement of the wrapping paper guide member 55 and the wrapping paper guide member 56b are controlled. A plurality of cams such as cams for mounting are attached.

  FIG. 16 is a functional block diagram showing the configuration of the control system of the coin wrapping apparatus 10 according to the present embodiment. The coin wrapping apparatus 10 according to the present embodiment has a control unit 100 that controls each component of the coin wrapping apparatus 10. Specifically, the feeding unit 12, the transport unit 20, the drive motor 48, the wrapping paper supply unit 50, the cam shaft drive motor 65, the cam drive motor 92, and the like are connected to the control unit 100 so that they can communicate with each other. The control unit 100 controls these components by sending command signals to the feeding unit 12, the conveyance unit 20, the drive motor 48, the wrapping paper supply unit 50, the cam shaft drive motor 65, the cam drive motor 92, and the like. Yes. Further, a passage detection sensor S1, a counting sensor S2, a first detection sensor 95, and a second detection sensor 97 are connected to the control unit 100, and detection information from these sensors is sent to the control unit 100. It is supposed to be.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 16, an input unit 102 and a storage unit 104 are communicably connected to the control unit 100. The input unit 102 includes an operation display unit such as a touch panel, for example, and the operator can input various commands to the control unit 100 via the input unit 102. The storage unit 104 stores various setting information of the coin wrapping apparatus 10 and operation information such as the number of wrapping coins created by the coin wrapping apparatus 10.

  Next, the operation of the coin wrapping apparatus 10 having such a configuration, specifically, a coin wrapping method by the coin wrapping apparatus 10 will be described. In addition, operation | movement of the coin packaging apparatus 10 as shown below is performed when the control part 100 controls each component of the coin packaging apparatus 10. FIG.

  The loose coins received on the rotating disk 14 of the feeding unit 12 are fed one by one to the transport path 21 of the transport unit 20 by the feeding unit 12. Then, in the stacking unit 30, the coins sent from the transport path 21 of the transport unit 20 to the stacking region 31 of the stacking unit 30 are the lowest layer among a plurality of coins that have already been stacked in the stacking region 31. The coins are sequentially accumulated from the lower side to the upper side. When coins corresponding to the number of packaging units are accumulated in the accumulating unit 30, the accumulated coins are raised to a predetermined packaging position in the packaging unit 40 by the accumulated coin transport unit 70.

  Thereafter, the wrapping paper is supplied to the packaging region 41 of the wrapping unit 40 by the wrapping paper supply unit 50, and the wrapping paper is wound around the accumulated coins in the wrapping unit 40. Specifically, in the packaging unit 40, the cam shaft 64 rotates once every time one wrapping coin is produced, and is accumulated by the three packaging rollers 42a, 42b, and 42c during one rotation of the cam shaft 64. The wrapping paper supplied from the wrapping paper supply roll 51 of the wrapping paper supply unit 50 and cut into a predetermined length by the cutting member 58 is collected with the three wrapping rollers 42a, 42b, and 42c while the coins are sandwiched and rotated. Supply between coins. When the wrapping paper is supplied to the wrapping region 41 of the wrapping unit 40 by the wrapping paper supply unit 50, the wrapping paper guide members 55 and 56b are arranged on the side of the wrapping region 41 of the wrapping unit 40 as shown in FIG. It is located at the advancing position that closes the open side. At this time, the winding needle 61 of the winding mechanism 60 is located at a retracted position so as to retract from the packaging region 41 of the packaging unit 40.

  After that, as shown in FIG. 3, the wrapping paper guide members 55 and 56 b are moved to the retracted position so as to open the side opening portion of the packaging region 41 of the packaging unit 40, and the winding needle 61 of the winding mechanism 60. Is moved to the advance position where it advances into the packaging area 41 of the packaging unit 40. After the winding needle 61 of the winding mechanism 60 moves to the advance position so as to advance into the packaging area 41 of the packaging unit 40, the upper and lower ends of the wrapping paper wound around the circumferential surface of the accumulated coins are wound around the winding mechanism 60. Are wound by a pair of upper and lower winding needles 61 and crimped to both upper and lower end surfaces of the accumulated coin. When the caulking operation of both the upper and lower end surfaces of such an accumulated coin is completed, the pair of upper and lower winding needles 61 are retracted to the initial position, and then the space between the three wrapping rollers 42a, 42b, 42c is opened to remove the wrapping coins. Release downward.

  As described above, in the coin wrapping apparatus 10 according to the present embodiment, when the accumulated coins are packaged with the wrapping paper, the accumulated coins are lifted up to the packaging region 41 of the packaging unit 40 by the support rod 71 that supports the accumulated coins from below. Then, after the wrapping paper is wound while rotating the accumulated coins in the wrapping region 41, the upper and lower ends of the wrapping paper are caulked by the winding needles 61 of the winding mechanism 60. And in this Embodiment, when performing such operation | movement, in order to crimp the upper and lower ends of a wrapping paper uniformly, the wrapping paper supplied from the wrapping paper supply part 50, and the packaging area | region of the wrapping part 40 are shown. The relative positional relationship with the accumulated coins lifted up to 41 can be adjusted independently for each denomination of the coins, so that the center position in the width direction of the wrapping paper and the packaging portion The center position in the height direction of the accumulated coins lifted up to the 40 packaging regions 41 can be matched. More specifically, when the height level of the wrapping paper supplied from the wrapping paper supply unit 50 is constant, the height of the support rod 71 when the support rod 71 is in the upper position as shown in FIG. By adjusting the height level, the position of the accumulated coins raised to the packaging area 41 of the packaging unit 40 with respect to the packaging paper supplied from the packaging paper supply unit 50 is adjusted. Details of such a position adjustment method will be described below.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the position adjusting cam 90 has a lower surface of a staircase structure with which the first pin member 82 that moves up and down integrally with the support rod 71 contacts. The upper position of the support rod 71 can be adjusted by changing the position of the lower surface with which the first pin member 82 abuts. Details of the configuration of the position adjusting cam 90 will be described with reference to FIGS. 14 and 15. FIG. 14 is an explanatory view showing the height level of the lower surface of the staircase shape of the position adjusting cam 90 in the circumferential direction, and FIG. 15 is a diagram of the lower surface of the staircase shape of the position adjusting cam 90 shown in FIG. It is a table | surface which shows the information regarding a height level.

  As described above, when the camshaft drive motor 65 rotates the support rod drive cam 86, the second pin member 84 is disengaged from the lower edge portion 86a of the support rod drive cam 86 as shown in FIG. As a result, the swing lever 80 can rotate upward about the rotation shaft 80a. At this time, an upward force is urged on the swing lever 80 by the contraction force of the spring 88. The first pin member 82 provided at the tip of the U-shaped member pushes the inner edge portion 73a of the U-shaped member 73 upward, and the first pin member 82 contacts the lower surface of the position adjusting cam 90. As a result, the swing lever 80 does not rotate any more. Here, as shown in FIG. 14, the lower surface of the position adjusting cam 90 is divided into nine regions having different height levels corresponding to the two-dot chain lines indicated by reference signs A to I in FIG. As shown in FIGS. 11 to 13, by the region where the first pin member 82 abuts on the lower surface of the position adjusting cam 90, the first when the swing lever 80 rotates upward about the rotation shaft 80a. The position of the pin member 82 in the vertical direction is different, and the positions of the U-shaped member 73 and the support rod 71 in the vertical direction after being pushed upward by the first pin member 82 are also different. .

  Details of the shape of the position adjusting cam 90 will be described below with reference to a table shown in FIG. In the table of FIG. 15, “angle (°)” in the rightmost column is a reference sign from “0 °” at the left end when the position adjusting cam 90 in FIG. 14 is developed in the circumferential direction. The “effective angle (°)” in the third column from the right is the angle “A” to “I”, and “0 °” at the left end of FIG. The range of angles from "" is shown. In the table of FIG. 15, the “lower winding allowance” in the third column from the left is when the first pin member 82 comes into contact with each of the nine divided areas on the lower surface of the position adjusting cam 90. When the accumulated coins lifted up to the packaging area 41 of the packaging unit 40 are wound by the wrapping paper supplied from the wrapping paper supply unit 50, an excess portion of the wrapping paper below the lower end surface of the accumulated coins (winding) ). Note that the wrapping paper of the winding allowance portion is caulked by the winding needle 61 of the winding mechanism 60. As shown in FIG. 14, for each region on the lower surface of the position adjusting cam 90, the closer the region where the first pin member 82 abuts to the position A among the positions A to I, the more the first pin member 82 becomes. Since it can move upward, the upper position of the support rod 71 is also higher, and the size of the lower winding margin is also larger. On the other hand, the position of the first pin member 82 when it comes into contact with the lower surface of the position adjusting cam 90 becomes lower as the region where the first pin member 82 comes into contact is closer to the position I among the positions A to I. The upper position of the support rod 71 is also lower, and the size of the lower winding margin is also smaller. As described above, the size of the lower winding allowance changes depending on the region where the first pin member 82 abuts on the lower surface of the position adjusting cam 90. In the present embodiment, the height level of the lower surface of the step shape of the position adjusting cam 90 is also adjusted between the regions so that the size of the lower winding margin can be adjusted in 1.5 mm increments. It is designed to shift by 1.5 mm.

  More specifically, for example, when the width of the wrapping paper supplied from the wrapping paper supply unit 50 is 110 mm, the height of the accumulated coins when stacking 50 500 yen coins is 91 mm. When the upper and lower ends of the wrapping paper wound around the accumulated coins are caulked uniformly, the size of the upper and lower wrapping wrapping paper is 9.5 mm (= (110 mm−91 mm) ÷ 2), respectively. It is preferable to do. In this case, the area where the first pin member 82 abuts on the lower surface of the position adjusting cam 90 is set to the position G in FIG. Since it can be set to 5 mm, the upper and lower ends of the wrapping paper wound around the accumulated coins can be caulked almost uniformly. Similarly, the height of the accumulated coins when 50 50-yen coins are stacked is 87.5 mm. Therefore, when the upper and lower ends of the wrapping paper wound around the accumulated coins are caulked uniformly, the wrapping paper is used. It is preferable that the size of the upper winding allowance and the lower winding allowance be 11.25 mm (= (110 mm−87.5 mm) / 2), respectively. In this case, the area where the first pin member 82 abuts on the lower surface of the position adjusting cam 90 is set to the position F in FIG. Since it can be set to 0 mm, the upper and lower end portions of the wrapping paper wound around the accumulated coins can be caulked almost uniformly.

  In addition, since the height of the accumulated coins when 50 coins of 100 yen are stacked is 85.0 mm, the upper and lower ends of the wrapping paper wound around the accumulated coins are caulked uniformly. It is preferable that the size of the upper winding allowance and the lower winding allowance be 12.5 mm (= (110 mm−85.0 mm) ÷ 2), respectively. In this case, the region where the first pin member 82 abuts on the lower surface of the position adjusting cam 90 is defined as a position E in FIG. Since it can be set to 5 mm, the upper and lower ends of the wrapping paper wound around the accumulated coins can be caulked almost uniformly. In addition, since the height of the accumulated coins when stacking 50 1-yen coins, 5-yen coins and 10-yen coins is 75.0 mm, the upper and lower ends of the wrapping paper wound around the accumulated coins are uniform. When caulking, it is preferable that the size of the upper winding margin and the lower winding margin of the wrapping paper is 17.5 mm (= (110 mm-75.0 mm) / 2), respectively. In this case, the area where the first pin member 82 abuts on the lower surface of the position adjusting cam 90 is set to the position B in FIG. Since it can be set to 0 mm, the upper and lower end portions of the wrapping paper wound around the accumulated coins can be caulked almost uniformly.

  Further, the height of the accumulated coins lifted by the support rod 71 changes due to the aging of the coin wrapping apparatus 10 and the like, and the wrapping is performed with respect to the center position in the width direction of the wrapping paper supplied from the wrapping paper supply unit 50. When the center position in the height direction of the stacked coins that are lifted up to the packaging area 41 of the portion 40 is shifted, the area where the first pin member 82 abuts on the lower surface of the position adjusting cam 90 is changed in this way. It becomes possible to correct the misalignment. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 15, the size of the lower winding margin can be adjusted in units of 1.5 mm by changing the region where the first pin member 82 abuts on the lower surface of the position adjusting cam 90. The deviation of the center position in the height direction of the accumulated coins from the center position in the width direction of the wrapping paper in the wrapping area 41 of the wrapping unit 40 is 0.75 mm (= 1.5 mm ÷ 2) or less. Will be able to adjust.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the position adjusting cam 90 having the lower surface of the staircase structure in which the first pin member 82 that moves up and down integrally with the support rod 71 contacts is provided. Since the upper position of the support rod 71 can be adjusted by changing the position where the first pin member 82 abuts on the lower surface of the wrapping paper, the wrapping paper supplied from the wrapping paper supply unit 50 and the packaging area of the packaging unit 40 The relative positional relationship with the accumulated coins 41 can be adjusted independently for each denomination of coins.

  In the present embodiment, the cam driving motor 92 rotates the position adjusting cam 90 along the horizontal plane, thereby changing the region where the first pin member 82 abuts on the lower surface of the position adjusting cam 90. Can be done. A method for adjusting the angular position of the position adjusting cam 90 in the circumferential direction will be described below. As described above, the fixed position detection plate 94 and the angle detection plate 96 are provided on the drive shaft 92a of the cam drive motor 92 so as to extend along the horizontal plane. When the first detection sensor 95 is located on the optical axis of the first detection sensor 95 and is in a light-transmitting state, the lower surface of the position adjustment cam 90 has a position indicated by an angle “0 °” in FIG. The first pin member 82 comes into contact. On the other hand, when the position adjustment cam 90 is rotated along the horizontal plane by the cam drive motor 92 from such a state, each light transmitting portion 96a of the angle detection plate 96 passes through the optical axis of the second detection sensor 97. Accordingly, the second detection sensor 97 alternately repeats the light shielding state and the light transmitting state. Here, when the pulse is counted when the second detection sensor 97 switches from the light-transmitting state to the light-blocking state, the lower surface of the position adjusting cam 90 shown in FIG. When the position adjusting cam 90 rotates to an angular position where the first pin member 82 contacts the positions A to I, the number of pulses counted is shown in the second column from the right in the table of FIG. Value.

  In this way, when adjusting the angular position of the position adjusting cam 90 in the circumferential direction, first, the position adjusting cam 90 is rotated along the horizontal plane by the cam drive motor 92 until the first detection sensor 95 is in a translucent state. As a result, the position of the lower surface of the position adjusting cam 90 with which the first pin member 82 abuts is adjusted to the angle “0 °” in FIG. 14, and then the position adjustment where the first pin member 82 is actually abutted is desired. The position adjusting cam 90 is further rotated by the cam drive motor 92 so that the second detection sensor 97 alternately repeats the light shielding state and the light transmitting state until the number of pulses corresponding to the position of the lower surface of the cam 90 is counted. As a result, the angular position of the position adjusting cam 90 in the circumferential direction can be adjusted to a desired angular position.

  In addition, the storage unit 104 stores the relationship between the size of each lower volume as shown in the table of FIG. 15 and the denomination and number of pulses of the coin. Then, when the operator adjusts the upper position of the support rod 71 that supports the accumulated coins from below, first, for example, entering the maintenance mode by the input means 102 such as a touch panel is displayed on the touch panel. The relationship between each size of the lower volume as shown in the table of 15 and the denomination of the coin is displayed. When the operator inputs the size of the lower volume as information on the relative positional relationship between the wrapping paper supplied from the wrapping paper supply unit 50 and the accumulated coins in the packaging region 41 of the wrapping unit 40, the control unit 100 Controls the cam drive motor 92 so as to adjust the rotational angle of the position adjusting cam 90 in the circumferential direction based on the input number of pulses corresponding to the size of the lower winding margin. As described above, in the present embodiment, the operator can automatically adjust the upper position of the support rod 71 so that the size of the lower winding margin of the wrapping paper wound around the accumulated coin becomes a desired size. become able to.

  According to the coin wrapping apparatus 10 of the present embodiment having the above-described configuration, the relative position relationship between the wrapping paper supplied from the wrapping paper supply unit 50 and the accumulated coins in the wrapping unit 40 is expressed as a denomination of coins. A position adjusting cam 90 is provided as position adjusting means for adjusting each time independently. Moreover, in the coin wrapping apparatus 10 of this Embodiment, the support rod 71 which supports the accumulation | storage coin from which the wrapping paper supplied from the wrapping paper supply part 50 in the packaging part 40 should be wound is provided. The position adjusting means (specifically, the position adjusting cam 90) adjusts the position of the support rod 71. As described above, in the present embodiment, when the wrapping paper is created by wrapping the wrapping paper on the accumulated coins in the packaging unit 40, the relative position of the wrapping paper with respect to the accumulated coins in the longitudinal direction of the accumulated coins can be easily and appropriately set. This enables packaging to be created without replacement or adjustment of units such as the support rod 71 that supports the stacked coins from below and the support rod lifting mechanism that lifts and lowers the support rod 71. It is possible to suppress the occurrence of quality defects such as coins being easily separated.

  Moreover, in the coin wrapping apparatus 10 of this Embodiment, as above-mentioned, the support rod 71 is movable along a perpendicular direction, and when the support rod 71 exists in an upper position, in the packaging part 40, the said The accumulated coins supported from below by the support rod 71 are wound by the wrapping paper supplied from the wrapping paper supply unit 50. Further, the position adjusting cam 90 as the position adjusting means regulates the upper limit of the upper position of the support rod 71, and the position adjusting cam 90 depends on the rotation angle in the circumferential direction of the support rod 71. The shape is such that the upper position changes. More specifically, the position adjustment cam 90 has a lower surface of a staircase structure in which a first pin member 82 that moves up and down integrally with the support rod 71 contacts, and the first pin member 82 contacts. The upper position of the support rod 71 is determined by the position of the lower surface. In this case, by adjusting the rotation angle of the position adjusting cam 90 in the circumferential direction, the relative position of the wrapping paper with respect to the accumulated coins in the longitudinal direction of the accumulated coins can be made appropriate.
