An axis direction of the set of skew wheels is at a certain angle (greater than 0 degree and smaller than 90 degrees) with respect to a side wall, which allows moving tracks of the mediums to be gradually close to a certain side wall. An axis direction of the adjusting wheel is perpendicular to the side wall, and is mounted close to the certain side wall along which the mediums are to be aligned, which plays an adjusting and correcting function in the skew-correcting of the mediums. This skew-correction device may achieve a good skew-correcting effect to hard and new mediums, but when correcting soft mediums having been circulated in the market for a long time, the following two issues often present. One issue is that banknote is jammed, in which the medium having skewed towards the direction of the skew wheels is not corrected after being conveyed by the skew wheel assembly, and further bump the side wall of the passage when being moved out of the skew-correction mechanism, thus causing the banknote jamming. The other issue is that the medium is moved out of a skew-correction track before the skew-correction is complete, and some mediums are moved out of the skew-correction assembly even before the positions to be corrected.

The set of skew-correction assembly closer to thefront guide wheels 21 is located between a set of conveying assembly and the front guide wheel set, and the other set of skew-correction assembly is located between the two sets of conveying assemblies. That is to say, the skew-correction assemblies and the conveying assemblies are arranged alternately, and the skew-correction assemblies are closer to the front guide wheel set, which achieves the purpose of skew-correcting first and then conveying. - In the skew-correction device for sheet-type mediums according to this embodiment, the sheet-type medium is guided into the medium conveying passage by the front guide wheel set, and when the font end position detecting element has detected that a medium has entered into the conveying passage, the information is fed back to the controller, and an instruction is sent by the controller and thus the skew-correction assembly starts to operate, and the belt conveys the medium to a position close to the side edges of the upper holding plate and the lower holding plate. The side edge position detecting unit located at the side edges includes at least two position detectors, which are spaced apart a certain distance and arranged in a direction parallel to the side edges, thus in the case that both of the two position detectors have detected the medium (are covered by the medium), it is indicated that the medium is not skew anymore, and a signal is fed back by the position detectors to the controller, and at this time, the controller starts up the conveying assembly, and the conveying assembly continues to convey the sheet-type medium forward to the skew-correction device, so as to achieve the purpose of skew correction. In the present application, the skew-correction assembly and the conveying assembly with conveying directions perpendicular to each other are employed to deliver the medium, and the side edge position detecting unit is employed to detect the edge of the medium. After the two position detectors have both detected the medium, that is, after the skew-correction is completed, the conveying assembly is started up to convey the medium passing through the skew-correction device, which avoids the issue that a medium is moved out of the skew-correction track before the skew-correction is completed. In addition, the conveying assembly is started up immediately after both of the two position detectors have detected the medium, thus, excessively skew-correction and the banknote jamming are avoided.
- An automatic teller machine is further provided according to an embodiment of the present application, and the automatic teller machine has the skew-correction device for sheet-type mediums according to the above embodiments.
- The above are only preferable embodiments of the present application and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present application. Any equivalent variations made based on the specification and drawings of the present application should be deemed to fall into the protection scope of the present application.
