So set up, can utilize the great space of last passageway board 151 of interval and backup pad 164 between to hold many paper currency, and then can be in the whole back of being discerned of many paper currencies that get into paper currency recognition device 010, the user once only takes away whole unqualified paper currency from the exit of returning coin passageway 130 again, avoids the user to get the coin many times, improves user experience.

The coin-returning lower channel plate 163 and the supporting plate 164 extend along the horizontal direction, and along the vertical direction, the extending surface of the coin-returning lower channel plate 163 and the extending surface of the supporting plate 164 are spaced and distributed oppositely, and the supporting plate 164 is located below the coin-returning channel 130 plate; with this arrangement, it is ensured that not only the ejected bills can be supported by the support plate 164, but also the bills passing through the lower refund path plate 163 can be smoothly moved to the space between the support plate 164 and the upper path plate 151.

The work flow of the paper money discriminating apparatus 010 of the present embodiment includes: the user puts in the paper money from the inlet of the main conveying channel 110, the paper money entering the paper money recognition device 010 can be conveyed to the deviation rectification mechanism 300 one by one under the coin separation effect of the coin separation mechanism 200, the deviation rectification mechanism 300 can correct the posture of the paper money in the main conveying channel 110, the paper money deviation is avoided, the problem that the paper money is possibly jammed is further solved, the paper money can be smoothly conveyed to the recognition mechanism 400, the information on the paper money is over against the recognition mechanism 400, and the recognition mechanism 400 collects the information of the paper money.

To sum up, the utility model provides a paper currency recognition device 010 is behind utilizing coin mechanism 200 coin, rectify with the timely gesture to the paper currency in the main transfer passage 110 of mechanism 300 of rectifying, avoid the paper currency incline, make paper currency can be carried downstream, rather than the jam in main transfer passage 110, and utilize the gesture that mechanism 300 of rectifying to correct paper currency to also make the information on the paper currency just to recognition mechanism 400, and then ensure the correct collection paper currency information of recognition mechanism 400, improve paper currency recognition device 010's operational reliability.

The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and is not intended to limit the present invention, and various modifications and changes will occur to those skilled in the art. Any modification, equivalent replacement, or improvement made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
