Abstract
A banknote receiving machine conveys inserted banknotes on a conveying path and corrects their conveying posture by a posture correction device. At the downstream side of the posture correction device, there are sensors provided for detecting features of banknotes from the feature portions of the banknotes. Kinds and directions of the front/back and the top/bottom of banknotes are detected by posture detecting sensors that are provided in front of the posture correction device, acquires correction amounts corresponding to the kinds and the directions of the banknotes from a memory, corrects conveying postures of the banknotes based on correction amounts and brings the feature portions of the banknotes to oppose to the conveying posture correcting sensors.
Claims12
A paper-like materials processing apparatus comprising:
- an insert port into which paper-like materials are inserted;
- a conveying portion to convey the paper-like materials taken out on a conveying path from the insert port;
- a first detecting portion to detect kinds and directions relative to the front/back and the top/bottom of the paper-like materials being conveyed by the conveying portion;
- a posture correcting portion to correct the conveying posture of the paper-like materials passed through the first detecting portion;
- a second detecting portion to detect features of the paper-like materials from feature portions by opposing to the feature portion of the paper-like materials passed through the posture correction portion;
- a storage portion to store correction amounts by the posture correcting portion that is pre-set according to kinds and directions of paper-like materials so that the feature portions of paper-like materials passed through the posture correcting portion are opposed to the second detecting portion;
- and
- a controller to control the posture correcting portion to correct the conveying posture of paper-like materials according to correction amounts corresponding to kinds and directions of paper-like materials detected by the first detecting portion read out from the storage portion.
A paper-like materials processing apparatus comprising:
- an insert port into which rectangular shaped paper-like materials are inserted;
- a conveying portion to convey paper-like materials taken out on a conveying path in the posture that the long sides along the longitudinal direction of the rectangular shape paper-like material become orthogonal to the conveying direction;
- a detecting portion to detect the leading edge of the paper-like materials in the conveying direction being conveyed by the conveying portion;
- an operating portion to calculate length, tilt and positional shift amounts of paper-like materials based on the detection results of the detecting portion;
- a storage portion to store lengths of short sides of the paper-like materials along the short direction by kind of paper-like materials corresponding to the length of the long side;
- and
- a posture correcting portion to read lengths of short sides of paper-like materials corresponding to lengths of long sides calculated in the operating portion from the storage portion and correct the conveying posture of the paper-like materials based on the tilt and positional shift amounts of the paper-like materials calculated by the operating portion.
