摘要

A medium conveyance route switching device (100) includes a support unit (110), a gate assembly (130), and a rotation mechanism (140). The support unit is located at a branching point of a first conveyance path (201), a second conveyance path (202) and a third conveyance path (203) where conveyance directions of a medium converge in three directions. The gate assembly includes a first to a third gate (131, 132, 133) positioned on one ends of the first to the third conveyance path to guide at the branching point the medium to other conveyance paths than a conveyance path from which the medium is conveyed. The rotation mechanism includes a first actuator (141) rotating the first gate to switch the medium conveyed from the first conveyance path to the second conveyance path or the third conveyance path, and a second actuator (142), when the first gate is rotated, rotating the second gate and the third gate in associated with the second gate.
