DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Here, the same reference numerals are used for the same constituent elements as those of the prior art, and a detailed description thereof will be omitted for the same elements as those described in the prior art, I will explain.

2 and 3 are perspective views showing a position sensing apparatus for a banknote conveying direction switching gate according to the present invention. Here, Figs. 2 and 3 show the state of the bank note transfer direction switching gate forming the conveyance path in directions a and b, respectively.

2 and 3, a plurality of bank note transfer direction switching gates 210 are respectively coupled to the cam shafts 110 which rotate on one side of the transfer path 220. The transfer direction switching gate 210 rotates in accordance with the rotation of the camshaft 110, whereby the direction in which the banknote is conveyed can be selected. For example, as shown in Figs. 2 and 3, the transport direction switching gate 210 can be pivoted so that the transport path is set to "a path" or "b path ".

The conveying roller 222 is interposed between the conveying paths 220 to smoothly move the banknotes along the conveying path 220.

The position sensing device for detecting the position of the banknote conveying direction switching gate is for grasping the conveying path 220 of the banknote according to the positional state of the switching gate 210 and includes a camshaft 110, a first link member 120, A sensor unit 130, and a control unit 150.

The cam shaft 110 rotates in a state where the plurality of switching gates 210 are fixedly coupled to each other, thereby adjusting the position of the switching gate 210 to determine the conveying path of the banknote.

One end surface of the camshaft 110 is formed with a cam member 112 protruding in one direction from the center. The first link member 120 and the second link member 124 are coupled to rotate about the hinge portion 122.

The first link member 120 abuts the outer peripheral surface of the cam member 112. [ One end of the elastic member 142 is coupled to the second link member 124 and the other end of the elastic member 142 is coupled to the support frame 140.

That is, the second link member 124 receives a continuous force in the direction of the elastic restoring force of the elastic member 142, and accordingly, the first link member 124 rotates with the second link member 124 with the hinge portion 122 therebetween. The member 120 maintains a state in contact with the outer circumferential surface of the cam member 112. [

The sensor unit 130 senses the position of the second link member 124 and includes a light emitting element 131 facing the first light emitting element 131 with the concave portion 135 being a space through which the end of the second link member 124 rotates And a light receiving element 132, as shown in Fig. That is, the sensor unit 130 senses whether or not the light receiving element 132 receives light emitted from the light emitting element 131. At this time, whether or not the light receiving element 132 receives light is detected by the second link member 124, Is present in the concave portion 135. [

The control unit 150 controls the rotation of the camshaft 110 and grasps the position of the second link member 124 using a signal provided from the sensor unit 130. The control unit 150 compares the position of the second link member 124 detected through the sensor unit 130 with the signal for controlling the camshaft 110 to determine whether the second link member 124 is in the correct position .

A process of determining the position of the switching gate 210 by using the position sensing device of the switching gate and determining whether the switching gate 210 is in the correct position will be described below.

The "a path" and the "b path" shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, respectively, are determined by the rotation of the camshaft 110 under the control of the controller 150. That is, the control unit 150 adjusts the amount of rotation of the camshaft 110 coupled with the switching gate 210 to determine the direction of the switching gate 210. The control unit 150 stores a camshaft control signal for controlling the amount of rotation of the camshaft 110 in a memory (not shown).

In addition, the control unit 150 determines whether the switching gate 210 is located at a certain position using the sensor unit 130. The position of the switching gate 210 can be detected through the position of the cam member 112 sensed by the sensor unit 130.

A method for the control unit 150 to determine the position of the switching gate 210 using the sensor unit 130 will be described in more detail as follows.

As shown in FIG. 2, the state in which the conveying path is set to the "a path " is as shown in FIG. 4A in the side view of the cam member 112 and the first and second link members 120 and 124.

That is, the first link member 120 contacts the outer peripheral surface of the camshaft 110 without contacting the cam member 112. At this time, the second link member 124 is located in the concave portion 135 which is a space between the light emitting element 131 and the light receiving element 132 as shown in FIG. 4 (b). Accordingly, the light emitted from the light emitting element 131 is not detected by the light receiving element 132.

The control unit 150 sets the transfer path to the "a path" by the switching gate 210 so that the light receiving element 132 of the sensor unit 130 can not detect light by the second link member 124 .

As shown in Fig. 3, when the transport path of the "b path" is set, the side view of the cam member 112 and the first and second link members 120 and 124 is shown in Fig.

That is, the cam member 112 contacts the first link member 120, and accordingly, the first link member 120 rotates counterclockwise.

As the first link member 120 rotates counterclockwise, the second link member 124 coupled with the first link member 120 about the hinge portion 122 also rotates counterclockwise. As a result, the second link member 124 moves away from the recess 135 of the sensor unit 130.

Accordingly, the light emitted from the light emitting element 131 of the sensor unit 130 is detected by the light receiving element 132.

The control unit 150 controls the switching gate 210 such that the second link member 124 moves out of the sensor unit 130 and the light receiving element 132 of the sensor unit 130 can detect light, Is set as the "b" path.

The control unit 150 compares the position of the switching gate 210 detected using the sensor unit 130 with the position of the switching gate 210 corresponding to the camshaft control signal.

That is, when the camshaft control signal is a signal for controlling the position of the switching gate 210 so that the camshaft control signal selects the transport path of the " a path ", the controller 150 controls the switching gate 210, When the position is as shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 4, it is determined that the switching gate 210 is in a normal state.

On the other hand, when the control unit 150 is a signal for controlling the position of the switching gate 210 so that the camshaft control signal selects the transport path of the "a path ", the switching gate 210, 3 and 5, it is determined that the switching gate 210 is malfunctioning.

Similarly, when the camshaft control signal is a signal for controlling the position of the switching gate 210 so that the camshaft control signal selects the transport path of the "b path ", the control unit 150 determines the position of the switching gate 3 and 5, it is determined that the switching gate 210 is in a normal state.

When the control unit 150 determines that the position of the switching gate detected by using the sensor unit 130 is the same as the position of the switching gate 210 when the camshaft control signal is a signal for controlling the position of the switching gate 210 to select the & 2 and FIG. 4, it is determined that the switching gate 210 is malfunctioning.

In the above description, the switching gate 210 is switched in two directions at an angle of about 120 degrees to detect the position of the switching gate 210 by taking the case where the conveying path of the banknote is set as "a path" or "b path" However, the present invention is not limited to this, but the present invention is not limited to this, and when the switching gate 210 is switched at an angle of about 120 degrees in both directions after being switched to the angle of 120 degrees as described above, The present invention can also be applied to the present invention.

It is to be understood by those skilled in the art that the present invention may be embodied in many other forms without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention, Accordingly, the above-described embodiments are to be considered illustrative and not restrictive, and all embodiments within the scope of the appended claims and their equivalents are intended to be included within the scope of the present invention.
