ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a delivery clamp module and a control method thereof. According to the present invention, there is provided a delivery clamp module. The delivery clamp module comprises a clamp guide with a movement guide rail included therein; a delivery tray movable along the rail of the clamp guide by means of a driving force of a tray delivery motor; a clamp base rotatably connected to a front end of the delivery tray through a connecting arm, rotated within a predetermined angular range by a base rotating motor, and supporting a surface of the stacked media; and a clamp arm installed on the clamp base, including push fingers for pushing the media onto the clamp base by an elastic force, and rotated with respect to the clamp base within a predetermined angular range by an arm rotating motor. According to the present invention so constructed, since the media stacked on the stacking module are clamped directly by the delivery clamp module, and delivered to the customer or rejected if the customer did not take out the media, there is an advantage in that the general configuration of the present invention is relatively simplified. In addition, the media can be always securely pushed to the clamp base and clamped by an elastic force of the push finger of the clamp arm regardless of the number of the media. Further, there is an advantage in that it is possible for a media sensor to sense whether or not the media are clamped, taken out, and the like by installing the media sensor and a reflecting member to the clamp base and the clamp arm.
