VALUABLE SHEET DISCRIMINATING DEVICE

摘要

A paper money discriminating device, comprising a carrying device (2) having a rotor (5) rotatably disposed in a case (1), a drive device (12) rotating the rotor (5), and a plurality of pressing rollers (11) disposed around the rotor (5) in the state of being brought into contact with the outer peripheral surface of the rotor (5). A paper money (10) inserted from an inlet (8) in the case (1) is held between the rotor (5) and the pressing rollers (11), wrapped around the outer periphery of the rotating rotor (5) over its full length, and securely carried while the paper money (10) is prevented from being slipped by the rotating motion of the carrying device (2). Also, since the paper money (10) is rotated one or more turns integrally with the rotor (5), the illicit extraction of the paper money (10) by an extractor can be prevented. When the physical properties of the paper money (10) are detected by a sensor (3) and a controller (4) determines that the paper money (10) is true, the paper money (10) is separated from the rotor (5) and discharged from an outlet (9).
