The impeller component 102 is powered by a motor and blades are distributed uniformly on the impeller component 102. Two adjacent blades, the upper belt transmission mechanism 1011, and the lower belt transmission mechanism 1012 form a transfer channel.
The temporary storage area 103 includes a baffle plate 1031 and a temporary storage channel 1032. The baffle plate 1031 is connected to the temporary storage channel 1032 arranged between the temporary storage channel 1032 and the impeller component 102, which is configured to intercept paper money from the transfer channel in the temporary storage channel 1032.
