Fig. 3 is the instruction diagram that illustrates from the situation of carrying the end on observation bank note transport direction switching device that switches blade.

First blade 11 is determined preposition, and as shown in Figure 3, this position is first blade 11 any position that is arranged side by side in axial and a plurality of feeding-in rolls 6 and backer roll 7.

As shown in Figure 3, if first blade 11 and be position PA from the position that is arranged side by side with the bank note guiding piece 3 opposed breach backer roll 7 outstanding towards the gap of branching portion 2 of bank note guiding piece 4, establishing first blade 11 and being equipped on the position that the feeding-in roll 6 of bank note guiding piece 3 sides is arranged side by side with backer roll 7 arranged opposite at position PA place is position PB.

And, if first blade 11 and to be equipped on the position that the feeding-in roll 6 with bank note guiding piece 4 opposed positions of bank note guiding piece 3 is arranged side by side be position PC, establishing first blade 11 and being equipped on the position that the backer roll 7 of bank note guiding piece 4 sides is arranged side by side with feeding-in roll 6 arranged opposite at position PC place is position PD.

Therefore, under the situation that move any position in first blade 11 that carry to switch blade 10 is between the PA～PB of position, between the PC～PD of position, between the PE～PF of position, commuting angle is little, under the situation that move any position in first blade 11 that carry to switch blade 10 is between the PB～PC of position, between the PA～PF of position, between the PD～PE of position, commuting angle is big.

In addition, carry switching blade 10 between any above-mentioned position, to switch (rotation).

And like this, the throughput direction that carry to switch the bank note that blade 10 can enter any direction from arrow a, the arrow b of Fig. 3, arrow c switches to other throughput direction and carries.

Control part 30 shown in Figure 4 is controlled the action of each several part according to the control program that is stored in storage part 31.

Storage part 31 is also stored result of being undertaken by control part 30 etc. except storage control program.

Effect to said structure describes.

Switch under the situation of arrow b direction at the throughput direction that will enter the bank note of branching portion 2 from arrow a direction shown in Figure 3, control part 30 makes carries first blade 11 that switches blade 10 to be positioned at position PA.

The not shown transport path that links to each other with branching portion 2 is radially and sets with the intervals of 120 degree, and is relative therewith, carries first blade 11 that switches blade 10 and second blade 12 to constitute and has the roughly intervals of 140 degree.Therefore, be positioned at position PA by making first blade 11, second blade 12 is positioned at position PD side.

Therefore, can will carry from a direction towards the b direction or carry by the bank note of first blade 11 of carrying switching

blade

10 and 12 guiding of second blade from the b direction towards a direction.

When from switching at the state of carrying bank note between a direction and the b direction when between a direction and c direction, carrying bank note, control part 30 drives stepper motor 22, making conveying switch blade 10 via motor gear 21b, gear 21a, sharf 20 rotates towards anticlockwise direction as shown in Figure 5, thus, as shown in Figure 5, first blade moves to position PB from position PA.

At this moment, first blade 11 that carry to switch blade 10 crosses the transport path of a direction and rotates from original position to the opposition side that clips this transport path from position PA, thereby first blade 11 is positioned at position PB.

Therefore, owing to carry the commuting angle that switches blade 10 little, therefore make stepper motor 22 make conveying switch blade 10 with the first predetermined speed high speed revolution and rotate.

And then when first blade 11 was positioned at position PB, the 3rd blade was positioned at position PE, thus, can utilize and carry switching blade 10 will guide to the c direction from the bank note that a direction enters.

Thus, which direction no matter bank note comes between a direction, the c direction can both make bank note pass through.

When from switching at the state of carrying bank note between a direction and the c direction when between b direction and c direction, carrying bank note, control part 30 drives stepper motor 22, making conveying switch blade 10 via motor gear 21b, gear 21a, sharf 20 rotates towards anticlockwise direction, thus, as shown in Figure 6, first blade moves to position PC from position PB.

At this moment, to position PC, therefore first blade 11 carries the commuting angle that switches blade 10 big from towards turning near the transport path of a direction near the transport path of b direction from position PB.

Therefore, if carry the switching of switching blade 10 by stepper motor 22 with first predetermined speed, then the bad possibility of action that is caused by step-out etc. uprises, therefore do not switch, but switch with speed second predetermined speed lower than the speed under the little situation of commuting angle with more high-revolving first predetermined speed.

Thus, when first blade 11 was positioned at position PC, second blade 12 was positioned at position PF, can between b direction, c direction bank note be passed through thus.

In addition, starting control (the げ system is driven on the upright Chi), the finishing control when stopping (the げ system is driven under the upright Chi) and Acceleration Control etc. during starting by stepper motor 22 are carried out High-speed Control as much as possible, and above-mentioned all setting items are suitably set according to known technology and got final product.

When from switching at the state of carrying bank note between b direction and the c direction when between a direction and b direction, carrying bank note, control part 30 drives stepper motor 22, making conveying switch blade 10 via motor gear 21b, gear 21a, sharf 20 rotates towards anticlockwise direction, thus, as shown in Figure 7, first blade moves to position PD from position PC.

To position PD, first blade 11 crosses the transport path of b direction and rotates from original position to the opposition side that clips transport path from position PC.Thus, carry the commuting angle that switches blade 10 little, therefore make stepper motor 22 carry the switching of switching blade 10 with first predetermined speed (at a high speed) rotation.

Thus, when first blade 11 was positioned at position PD, the 3rd blade 13 was positioned at position PA, can between a direction, b direction bank note be passed through thus.

When from switching at the state of carrying bank note between a direction and the b direction when between a direction and c direction, carrying bank note, control part 30 drives stepper motor 22, making conveying switch blade 10 via motor gear 21b, gear 21a, sharf 20 rotates towards anticlockwise direction, thus, as shown in Figure 8, first blade moves to position PE from position PD.

At this moment, to position PE, first blade 11 turns to transport path side towards the c direction from the transport path side towards the b direction from position PD.Therefore carry the commuting angle that switches blade 10 big, thereby can't be to utilize stepper motor 22 to carry the switching of switching blade 10 with mode same when position PB moves to position PC.

Thus, when first blade 11 was positioned at position PE, second blade 12 was positioned at position PB, can between a direction, c direction bank note be passed through thus.

When from switching at the state of carrying bank note between a direction and the c direction when between b direction and c direction, carrying bank note, control part 30 drives stepper motor 22, making conveying switch blade 10 via motor gear 21b, gear 21a, sharf 20 rotates towards anticlockwise direction, thus, as shown in Figure 8, first blade moves to position PF from position PE.

At this moment, to position PF, first blade 11 crosses the transport path of c direction and is positioned at the position of opposition side from original rotated position to clipping transport path from position PE.Thus, carry the commuting angle that switches blade 10 little, therefore make stepper motor 22 carry the switching of switching blade 10 to rotate with same mode noted earlier.

Thus, when first blade 11 was positioned at position PF, the 3rd blade 13 was positioned at position PC, can between b direction, c direction bank note be passed through thus.

In addition, in the switching of above-mentioned throughput direction, the situation of blade 10 towards the anticlockwise direction rotation of switching of carrying that make has been described, still, also can have made and carry switching blade 10 to rotate toward the clockwise direction.For example, when first blade 11 is positioned at position PA, throughput direction is being switching under the situation of carrying bank note between b direction and the c direction, also can making to carry and switch blade 10 and rotate toward the clockwise direction and make first blade 11 move to position PF from position PA.

That understands as mentioned above is such, in the present embodiment, be arranged at the bank note transport direction switching device owing to will switch blade by the conveying that first blade, second blade and the 3rd blade constitute, and utilize stepper motor to make this conveying switch blade rotation and switch the throughput direction of bank note, therefore, can utilize a drive source to switch the throughput direction of bank note.Therefore, can realize the miniaturization of bank note transport direction switching device.

Further, be one by making drive source, can make the bank note transport direction switching device more at an easy rate.

And, when first blade crosses transport path and thereby the commuting angle hour of blade carry to be switched in the position that is positioned at opposition side, make the stepper motor high speed revolution, therefore can carry out the switching of throughput direction apace in mode that can not step-out, further, can be prevented the effect of the delay of switching the spent time.

In addition, be illustrated with the example that is fastened with a plurality of conveyings switching blades at sharf in the above description, still, as shown in figure 10, for example under by the situation of the integrated manufacturing of resin forming, also can link each conveying switching blade.Figure 10 illustrates the instruction diagram of carrying the shape of switching the rib between the blade, as shown in figure 10, can will carry the shape of switching the rib 10a between the blade to form the pentagonal shape in cross section.
