As shown in FIG. 1, a conventional sorting section in this type of paper sorting apparatus according to paper size, etc., includes a conveyor belt 1 stretched above the conveyance path of the papers to be sorted, as shown in FIG. The lower conveyor belts 2, 3, and 4 are arranged in series at a somewhat increased interval and run in the paper feed direction (indicated by the arrow). 3
A pair of delivery rollers 5 and 6 are provided in the spaces between and 4, and conveyor belts 10 are provided in parallel with each other at intervals L in the direction perpendicular to the plane of the paper. The deflection plate 7 is arranged so that it can protrude as shown by the imaginary line.

According to such a device, when papers to be sorted are fed in from direction A, one of the deflection plates 7 and 8 is driven by a solenoid, a plunger, etc. in response to a discrimination signal from a discrimination section (not shown). is projected to the imaginary line position to change the conveyance direction, and the feed roller 5 or 6 selects and sends out in direction B or C. If neither direction change plate is driven, D
It is sent in the direction.

However, such a device has a complicated structure because it requires a large number of conveyor belts and deflection plates, and the deflection plates block the paper conveyance path and change the direction of the paper being fed. Depending on the quality of the paper, or when fed at high speed, paper jams may occur, and it also takes time to move the direction change plate, making it unsuitable for high-speed processing.

FIG. 2 is a diagram for explaining the basic structure and operation of the sorting section according to the present invention, in which the sorting section rotates in the direction indicated by the arrow to feed the paper along the upper side of the conveyance path for the paper to be sorted. Rollers 10, 11, and 12 are arranged in series at a slight interval L, and a roller 13 rotates in a direction to send paper to the paper input side along the lower side of the conveyance path. Always in the same direction as the roller 13 with a slight interval (direction of arrow a)
A roller 14 that can rotate and reverse in the direction indicated by the arrow is provided in series.

According to the apparatus configured in this way, if the roller 14 is rotating in the direction of the arrow A, the paper carried in from the direction A is sent out in the direction of the arrow C, and when the roller 14 is reversed, it is sent out in the direction indicated by the arrow. When it rotates, it is caught between the rollers 13 and sent out in the direction of arrow B.

したがって、図示しない判別部からの判別信号によって
ローラ14の回転方向を制御すれば確実に紙類を選別す
