The present invention is, of course, not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments. For example, the drive side rollers (14) and (15) arranged at the entrance side of the unit conveyor (A) may be replaced by the fifteenth embodiment.
By using a bulging barrel type of central parts (14a) (15a) as shown in the figure, the banknotes (s) that are inclined and carried into the merging guide (1) are made horizontal in the banknote passage (54). It is characterized in that it can be corrected and smoothly transferred to the conveyor (A). That is, by providing the auxiliary roller (57) as in the present application, the bill (s) can be nipped and sent to the conveyor (A) one quarter rotation earlier than the driving side roller. 14) (15)
Is a roller which is generally used in the conventional conveying device and is not inflated (as in FIG. 2) at the center, and when the banknote (s) is carried in at an inclination to the merging guide (1), The bills (s) are conveyed as they are to the stacker (2) while being passed between the belts (12) and (13) of (A). Therefore, when the inclination is large, the banknote (s) is caught in the merging guide (1) and the upper and lower guides (26) on the way, which causes a problem of banknote jamming.

However, as shown in FIG. 15, the rollers (14) (1
The diameter (d1) of the central part (14a) (15a) of 5) is made slightly larger than the upper and lower diameters (d2), and the side surface is formed into a curved surface, so that it is carried out from the ball lending machine (4). When the bill (s) is inclined forward and upward as shown in FIG. 16A, for example, the tip of the bill (s) first comes between the lower auxiliary roller (57) and the drive roller (14). It is sandwiched by and advances, and further advances to come into contact with the central portion (14a) of the drive roller (14). Since the peripheral speed of the central portion (14a) is faster than the contacting portion with the auxiliary roller (57), the bill (s) is relatively pulled upward, and the forward rising state is corrected. . Then, after that, the upper end of the bill (s) is clamped between the upper auxiliary roller (57) and the driving roller (14), so that the flat bill (s) becomes a belt () of the conveyor (A). It is delivered between 12) and 13). On the other hand, even when the banknote (s) is carried in while being inclined downward to the front, the auxiliary roller (57) and the drive roller (14) with the upper part of the upper end of the banknote (s) being the first, are reversed by the procedure opposite to that in FIG. It is sandwiched between and advances, and further advances to contact the central part (14a) of the drive roller (14) to relatively pull the lower part of the bill (s) tip at a high peripheral speed of the central part (14a), It is possible to correct the condition of falling to the front.

In the merging guide, the banknote passage may be provided on either the left or right side, and the banknote passage slit that allows the banknotes conveyed by the rear unit conveyor to pass may be omitted.

(Effects of the Invention) In any case, according to the paper sheet conveying apparatus of the present invention, when the ball lending machine or the like is installed on a pachinko island or the like, the groove or ridge of the confluence guide guides the carry-out port. Therefore, there is no misalignment between the banknote outlet of the ball lending machine or the like and the position of the merging guide, and a smooth banknote passage is formed to smoothly transfer the banknotes or the like discharged from the ball lending machine through the merging guide. Can be handed over to.

Further, even when the distance between the back surface of the ball lending machine and the banknote transporting device is large and the transported banknotes do not reach the transport conveyor, the banknotes can be fed by the auxiliary roller in the banknote passage of the merging guide.

Therefore, the problem that the banknotes carried out from the rear surface of the ball lending machine are not properly delivered to the conveyor and the banknotes are jammed is solved.

If the stay of the island frame is provided with a guide groove so that the bracket on the back surface of the ball lending machine can be guided, there is no change when the ball lending machine is attached, and the ball lending machine can be easily attached.
