置を提供することにある。The apparatus disclosed in each of the above publications has a constant length in the feeding direction of the paper sheets that can be handled, or has a different length within a range of at most 20 to 30%. However, the handling of paper sheets that are greatly different, such as a length of 2 to 3 times in the feeding direction, has not been considered. That is, in the conventional general paper sheet separating and feeding device, the distance from the paper sheet nipping point of the feed roller and the gate roller to the paper sheet nipping point of the downstream conveyance path is the feeding direction of the paper sheet to be handled. Since the length of the sheet was set shorter than that of the shortest sheet, for a sheet whose length in the feeding direction is 2 to 3 times that of the shortest sheet, the length of the pickup roller or the feed roller is long after the feeding is completed. It is necessary to continue to drive the sheet, causing a problem that the succeeding paper sheets are erroneously delivered. Separately from this, as described above, the distance from the paper sheet pinching point of the feed roller and the gate roller to the paper sheet pinching point of the subsequent conveyance path is the shortest length in the feeding direction of the paper sheet to be handled. Since it has to be set shorter than that of No. 1, there is a problem in that the degree of freedom of the position of the paper sheet pinching point of the downstream conveyance path is greatly restricted. The latter problem is a constraint when a common banknote transport path is obtained when a plurality of paper sheet (banknote) separating and feeding devices are combined, as in an automatic teller machine. The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to solve the above-described problems in the conventional technique, and to reliably perform paper sheets having different lengths along the transport direction. A paper sheet separating and feeding apparatus and a control method therefor, which enables separation and feeding, and also allows a paper sheet holding point of a downstream conveyance path to be arranged with a large degree of freedom, and cash using the same. To provide an automatic transaction device.

能に構成することによって達成される。SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The above object of the present invention is to cooperate with a pick-up roller for feeding out accumulated sheets and a gate roller so that one sheet is fed out by the pickup roller. A feed roller that separates and conveys the sheets one by one, and a circumference of the feed roller that is located near the nipping point between the gate roller and the feed roller and that nips the fed paper sheets and delivers them to the conveying path in the subsequent stage. Each time the feed roller makes one rotation, it has a first pinch-conveying unit that is interlocked and driven at the same speed as the speed, and can feed various types of paper sheets whose length in the feeding direction is within a predetermined range. In the paper sheet separating and feeding device configured to feed one sheet into the sheet, from the point where the first holding and conveying means holds the sheet to the point where the conveying path in the subsequent stage holds the sheet. , The length in the feeding direction is A second nipping device that can convey paper sheets at the same speed as the peripheral speed of the feed roller to a position where the shortest paper sheet can be nipped within a predetermined range, and that is linked and driven with the feed roller. Providing one or more transportation means,
The action of sandwiching and transporting paper sheets by the second sandwiching and transporting means,
This is achieved by making it possible to switch between valid and invalid according to the length of the paper sheets to be handled.
