At this time, if the sheet-like medium needs to move between the second passage 15 and the third passage 16, as shown in FIG. 11, the sheet-like medium entered by the second passage 15 is along the third surface 33 of the first guide 3. Moving, when the sheet-like medium comes into contact with the fifth surface 42 of the second guiding member 4, the momentum of the sheet-like medium pushes the third end D3 of the second guiding member 4 to move against the elastic force of the self-weight or the elastic member to the second position W2 The sheet-like medium can be moved to the third passage 16 along the second guide surface P2.

The movement of the above-described banknote sheet medium can be transmitted through the transport roller group 7 provided in the first passage 14, the second passage 15, and the third passage 16.

In summary, the channel switching mechanism 510 provided by the present disclosure realizes switching of three channels by using only one driving component 5, and has the advantages of simple structure and low cost.
