  • the first sheet of banknote 27 is delivered out by the upper delivering conveyor belt 11 and the lower delivering conveyor belt 12, the front end of the banknote passes through the first sensor device 17 (an acquisition module), the sensor 17 feeds back an information to a processing module of the control system, and the processing module processes the information and then sends out a signal, to start a first driving motor (an execution module) immediately or start the first driving motor after a period of time, thereby driving the first conveyor belt assembly 15, the second conveyor belt assembly 22 and the third conveyor belt assembly 23 to rotate in the direction shown in Figure 13 .
  • a first driving motor an execution module
  • the first conveyor belt assembly 15 cooperates with the rear arc-shaped plate 18 to convey the banknote forward, the sensor 17 feeds back an information to the processing module of the control system when the tail end of the banknote leaves the first sensor device 17, and the processing module processes the information and sends out a signal to stop the first driving motor, and in this case, all of the conveyor belt assemblies are stopped, the banknote stops at position 182 with the tail end being exposed behind the first conveyor belt assembly 15.
  • the front end of the first sheet of banknote 27 reaches the first pair of convex ribs 183 and the second pair of convex ribs 184.
  • the front end of the second sheet of banknote 28 passes through the first sensor device 17, the first sensor device 17 feeds back an information to the control system, and the control system sends out a signal for starting the first driving motor, to start the first driving motor immediately or after a period of time, thereby driving the first conveyor belt assembly, the second conveyor belt assembly and the third conveyor belt assembly to rotate in the direction shown in Figure 13 .
  • the front end of the second sheet of banknote 28 is superposed on the tail end of the first sheet of banknote 27, and the two sheets of banknotes which are partially overlapped are conveyed forward together by the first conveyor belt assembly 15.
  • the first sensor device 17 After the tail end of the second sheet of banknote leaves the first sensor device 17, the first sensor device 17 feeds back information to the control system, and the control system stops the first driving motor, and the second sheet of banknote stops at the position 182.
  • the third sheet of banknote and the subsequent banknotes are conveyed in the same manner, in which the front end of a subsequent sheet of banknote is superposed on the tail end of a previous sheet of banknote.
  • the banknote is prevented from moving forward, and slips with respect to the first conveyor belt 153.
  • the action force on the banknotes from the first conveyor belt 153 is greater than the frictional force between the banknotes, thereby making the second sheet of banknote 28 and the first sheet of banknote 27 rub against each other to be aligned to the movable blocking plate 20.
  • the rubbing process is illustrated as follow. Under the action of the first conveyor belt 153, the first pair of convex ribs 183 and the second pair of convex ribs 184, the second sheet of banknote 28 is bent upward at two side of the advancing direction, thereby making the section, perpendicular to the advancing direction, of the banknote form a V shape.
  • the two sides of the second sheet of banknote 28 being bent upward makes the two sides of the second sheet of banknote 28 higher than the two sides of the first sheet of banknote 27, which intensifies the strength of the banknotes in the advancing direction. Therefore, when the second sheet of banknote 28 or the first sheet of banknote 27 have slits, the slits can be avoided in a certain extent. And if the banknote is blocked at the slit, the first conveyor belt 153 can provide an enough conveying force for the second sheet of banknote 28, to allow the second sheet of banknote 28 to cross the slit without being folded and arched. As shown in Figure 16 , the third sheet of banknote and the subsequent banknotes go through the same process, and the front ends thereof are eventually aligned to the movable blocking plate 20.
  • the control system sends out a signal to control the second motor, to shift the movable blocking plate 20 to the open state as shown in Figure 17 , thereby removing the blockage in the advancing direction of the banknotes.
  • the delivering floating support 229 is shifted to the second position to make the working surface of the second conveyor belt 222 higher than the upper arc-shaped surface of the front arc-shaped plate 19, thus the working surface of the second conveyor belt 222 is in contact with the banknotes.
  • the first driving motor is started to drive the first conveyor belt assembly, the second conveyor belt assembly and the third conveyor belt assembly to rotate in the direction shown in Figure 17 .
  • the banknotes are clamped between the first conveyor belt assembly 15 and the second conveyor belt assembly 22 to be delivered out, and the pressing plate 158 may automatically adjust the gap between the pinch roller 156 and the second pinch roller 224 according to the total thickness of the banknotes.
  • the transmission structure stops the conveyor belts when the banknotes are delivered out for a certain distance, and the tail ends of the banknotes are clamped between the pinch roller 156 and the second pinch roller 224, thereby accomplishing the delivering process.
  • the control system controls the first conveyor belt assembly, the second conveyor belt assembly and the third conveyor belt assembly to rotate in the reversed direction, and the whole stack of banknotes are conveyed reversely under the action of the first conveyor belt assembly and the second conveyor belt assembly and guided into the recycling box 52 by the reversing device 25 in the reverse conveying process.
