At this time, when the ascending / descending unit 230 descends, the marking unit 240 connected to the ascending / descending unit 230 and the coating unit 250 display the unclassified paper.

Specifically, the gear portion 220 may be configured by a combination of a worm gear and a cam shaft, and the movement of the lifting portion 230 is enabled by the operation of the gear portion 220.

That is, during the feeding process, even if the balloon 10 judged as classified paper passes through the stamp module 200, the stamp module 200 is not operated by the control unit 110, so that separate marking is performed on the divided paper The ballot 10 judged as non-classified paper is marked on the non-classified paper through the above process by the operation of the stamp module 200 by the control unit 110 in the stamp module 200.

However, the manner in which the marking is performed may not be a mechanical configuration, and the mechanical configuration may be performed by various methods other than the embodiment.

The conveying module (not shown) is composed of the conveying path 300 and the roller part 310 and the roller part 310 is moved in the first direction or the second direction opposite to the first direction by the control part 110.

Here, the first direction refers to the clockwise direction in the view of FIGS. 2 to 5, and the second direction refers to the counterclockwise direction in the view from FIGS. 2 to 5.

The ballet 10 is moved along the conveying path 300 by the rotation of the roller portion 310.

Specifically, when the ballot 10 is inserted, the roller unit 310 rotates in a clockwise direction and is read by the reading module 100. When the ballot 10 is recognized as a sorting sheet, the roller unit 310 rotates in a clockwise direction and the inputted ballot 10 passes through the stamp module 200 and an information collection module (not shown) ).

When the balloon 10 is read as a non-classified sheet, the roller unit 310 rotates in a clockwise direction so that marking can be performed in the stamp module 200. However, during the process of marking the undifferentiated paper sheet in the stamp module 200, the roller portion 310 may rotate clockwise or counterclockwise.

That is, the marking in the stamp module 200 for the non-classified paper may be performed simultaneously with the delivery of the non-classified paper, or may be performed while the non-classified paper is stopped by temporarily stopping the roller portion 310 so that marking on the non- The roller unit 310 may be rotated counterclockwise so as to be conveyed to the position of the marking unit 240 when the non-classified sheet is released from the marking unit 240 of the stamp module 200.

The marking on the non-classified paper will make it easier for the election official to identify the naked eye at a later stage of the review process, so that the election officials can more accurately and promptly review the information on the non-classified paper to realize the effect of the invention .

In the present embodiment, the information collecting module (not shown) acquires the contents of the ballot 10 according to various criteria such as the number marked on each candidate, Each information can be aggregated and displayed separately.

In this embodiment, the receiving module 400 is installed downstream of the conveying path 300 so that the ballot 10 can be loaded.

Specifically, the ballot paper 10 having passed through the reading module 100, the stamp module 200, and the information collecting module (not shown) can be loaded on the same loading section without distinguishing the classified paper and the non-classified paper. Or the loading section in which the sorting paper and the non-classified paper are stacked.

2 and 3, the receiving module 400 includes a first loading portion 410, a second loading portion 420, and a guide portion 430. The classified paper can be received in the first loading unit 410 and the unfractionated paper can be received in the second loading unit 420 by the branching unit 430 controlled by the controller 110. [

In this embodiment, the branching section 430 is composed of a roller rotating in both directions, a roller rotating in one direction, and a member switching the direction of the paper.

More specifically, when the balloon 10 is read by the reading module 100 as a sorting sheet, the rollers rotating in both directions constituting the branching unit 430 rotate clockwise to be stacked on the first stacking unit 410 Conveyed to the conveying path 300, and stacked on the first stacking unit 410.

When the balloon 10 is read from the reading module 100 as a non-classified sheet, the bi-directionally rotating rollers constituting the branching unit 430 rotate in the opposite direction and guide the rollers rotating in one direction to the second loading unit 420 To the conveying path 300 to be stacked on the second stacking unit 420. [

As a result, the ballot 10 inserted in the present embodiment is divided into the classification paper and the non-classification paper while passing through the reading module 100. Even if the sorting paper passes through the stamp module 200, the marking is not performed, and the mark information is collected after passing through an information collecting module (not shown) and loaded on the first stacking part 410. The non-classified paper is marked on the stamp module 200 and then loaded on the second stacking portion 420 via an information collecting module (not shown).

It can be seen that the positions of the reading module 100 and the stamp module 200 are opposite to those of the reading module 100 and the stamp module 200 of the first embodiment of the present invention.

That is, according to the present embodiment, the ballot 10 inserted in the input port 20 is configured to be fed to the reading module 100 after passing through the stamp module 200.

The scanning unit 120 constituting the reading module 100 scans the inputted ballot 10 and then the control unit 110 divides the classified ballot into a classification sheet and a non-classified sheet to determine a feeding direction.

In this embodiment, the roller unit 310 constituting the conveying module (not shown) receives the output of the control unit 110 constituting the reading module 100 and receives the output of the controller 110 in the clockwise direction as the first direction or counterclockwise as the second direction .

Specifically, when the input balloon 10 passes through the stamp module 200 and is divided by the sorting paper in the reading module 100, the roller portion 310 rotates clockwise.

On the other hand, when the inserted balloon 10 passes through the stamp module 200 and is distinguished from the read module 100 by the non-classified paper, the controller 310 rotates the roller portion 310 in the counterclockwise direction and the non- And is transferred to the stamp module 200.

The process of marking the non-classified paper in the stamp module 200 is the same as described above.

When the non-classified sheet is marked, the controller 110 rotates the roller unit 310 in the clockwise direction and is transferred to the reading module 100.

The non-classified paper sheet to be marked is read out from the reading module 100 to see if the marking is correct.

If the marking is not correct, the roller portion 310 is rotated in the counterclockwise direction and the stamping module 200 may undergo a marking process again. The process will continue until it is determined that the marking has been done in the reading module 100.

Unclassified paper marked with the sorting paper can be conveyed downstream of the conveyance path 300 and loaded on the receiving module 400 via an information collecting module (not shown) as in the first embodiment of the present invention.

The sorting sheet is loaded on the first stacking unit 410 by the branching unit 430 that is loaded on the same stacking unit or under the control of the controller 110 and the non-stacking sheet is stacked on the second stacking unit 420 as described above.

As a result, the ballot 10 inserted in the present embodiment passes through the stamp module 200 and is divided into the classified paper and the non-classified paper while passing through the reading module 100, and then the conveying direction is determined by the roller portion 310 . The sorting paper is stacked on the first stacking unit 410 after the roller unit 310 rotates clockwise to collect the contents of the mark from the information collecting module (not shown). However, the non-classified sheet passes through the reading module 100, and the roller unit 310 is rotated in the counterclockwise direction to be transferred to the stamp module 200 for marking, and the roller unit 310 is rotated clockwise, 100, it is determined that the marking has been performed, and if it is determined that the marking is correctly performed, the mark is loaded on the second stacking unit 430

The second embodiment of the present invention has a drawback in that it takes a long time to compare with the first embodiment of the present invention, but it is advantageous in that it is possible to check whether the marking on the non-classified paper is correct.
