Abstract
The present invention relates to an apparatus for detecting a skew of banknotes in an automated teller machine (ATM), and particularly, to an apparatus for detecting a skew of banknotes in an ATM capable of more effectively and accurately detecting a defective conveying state of the banknotes passing through a conveying route by including sensors on the conveying route, where the banknotes put into the ATM are conveyed, at regular intervals from each other along a direction crossing the conveying route and detect tips of the banknotes passing through the conveying route to separately detect skew angles for each sector of the banknotes passing through the conveying route based on banknote tip detection signals detected from each detection sensor and support detection of various types of skews of the banknotes, including one-way skew of the banknotes and V-shaped skew at both ends inclined in different directions.
