In order to improve the working efficiency of the scanner, the scanning paper feeding speed of the scanner is generally increased greatly, but an excessively fast scanning speed causes that a plurality of papers are fed once when the papers are fed, so that scanned files are careless and careless, and the work of the scanner is greatly influenced.
In the prior art, a torque limiter is arranged on a paper feeding roller to control the forward rotation and the reverse rotation of a paper separating wheel, when a plurality of sheets of paper enter a scanner, the friction force between the paper separating wheel and the upper surface of the paper is greater than the friction force between a paper picking and feeding wheel and the lower surface of the paper, so that the torque limiter and a paper feeding shaft slip, the paper feeding wheel rotates along the original direction, and the paper separating wheel rotates along the reverse direction. However, in the structure, the shafts of the paper separating wheel and the paper feeding wheel are synchronously driven with the paper feeding motor, and the paper separating wheel and the paper feeding wheel rotate at high speed together, so that in the process of fast scanning, redundant paper cannot be backed up every time, and the scanning speed is reduced.
Then, when the paper enters the scanner, an infrared sensor is mostly used to detect whether the paper is skewed or not, but this arrangement can only detect whether the paper is skewed or not, and cannot correct the skew, which may reduce the scanning speed of the whole scanner.

As shown in fig. 1-3, the present embodiment relates to a paper feeding and feeding structure of a scanner, which includes a paper twisting frame 1 and a paper feeding frame 2, wherein a paper twisting motor 11 is disposed on the paper twisting frame 1, the paper twisting motor 11 drives a paper picking and feeding transmission shaft 12 to rotate, a paper feeding motor 21 is disposed on the paper feeding frame 2, and the paper feeding motor 21 drives a first paper feeding roller 22 to rotate.
As shown in fig. 6-7, in the present embodiment, the first paper feeding roller 22 is engaged with a reduction gear set 23, the reduction gear set 23 is connected with a paper feeding rotating shaft sleeve 24 through a gear or a transmission rod, a torque limiter 241 is disposed in the paper feeding rotating shaft sleeve 24, the paper feeding rotating shaft sleeve 24 drives the paper separating wheel 25 to rotate, and a paper aligning piece 263 is disposed on the paper feeding bracket 2.
The reduction gear set 23 can be implemented by four reduction gears, and the reduction ratio of each gear is 2-2.5. Thus, the fast rotation speed transmitted from the paper feeding motor 21 can be greatly reduced, and the rotation speed transmitted to the paper separating wheel 25 is relatively small. The reduction gear set 23 can be directly connected with the paper feeding rotary shaft sleeve 24 through other gears; the reduction gear set 23 can also be directly connected with the paper feeding rotary shaft sleeve 24; it may also be connected to the feed rotating sleeve 24 via a transmission rod. The torque limiter 241 arranged in the paper feeding rotating shaft sleeve 24 can ensure that the paper feeding rotating shaft sleeve can only rotate around one direction to drive the paper separating wheel 25 to rotate, and can not drive the paper separating wheel 25 to rotate in the other direction.
Referring to fig. 3-4, the paper-picking and feeding transmission shaft 12 is connected to a paper-picking and feeding rotation shaft 13 through a second one-way bearing, and the paper-picking and feeding rotation shaft 13 is provided with a paper-picking and feeding wheel 14 corresponding to the paper-separating wheel 25, i.e. the paper-picking and feeding rotation shaft 13 is provided with a second one-way bearing, or a second one-way bearing is provided between the paper-picking and feeding wheel 14 and the paper-picking and feeding rotation shaft 13. The paper twisting support 1 is provided with a paper aligning piece support 15, the paper aligning piece support 15 is provided with a groove 151 used for clamping the paper aligning piece 263, and the paper picking and feeding transmission shaft 13 is provided with a lifting mechanism used for lifting the paper aligning piece 263.
The second one-way bearing also has the same function of driving the paper pick-up and feed wheel 14 to rotate in one direction only. Preferably, the paper separating wheel 25 and the paper pick-up and feeding wheel 14 are sleeved with a rubber sleeve, and the rubber sleeves of the two are provided with friction grooves to increase friction force, wherein one friction groove is arranged in a manner parallel to the paper pick-up and feeding rotating shaft 13, and the other friction groove is arranged in a manner perpendicular to the paper pick-up and feeding rotating shaft 13. Meanwhile, the outer diameter of the paper picking and feeding wheel 14 is increased, for example, the current diameter is 46mm, the paper picking and feeding wheel 14 has the functions of picking paper and feeding paper, and compared with the traditional paper separating structure, a group of wheels is omitted. The traditional paper separating structure is generally provided with a paper picking wheel and a paper feeding wheel respectively, and when the volume of the whole device is increased, the structure is relatively complex.
The pickup motor 11 drives the pickup and feeding transmission shaft 13 to rotate, and the pickup and feeding transmission shaft 13 drives the lifting mechanism to lift the paper alignment sheet support 15, so that the groove 151 on the paper alignment sheet support 15 is clamped with the paper alignment sheet 263 to achieve a certain stable state. In the process, the paper twisting motor 11 can adopt a stepping motor, so that the rotating angle of the paper pickup and feeding transmission shaft 13 can be controlled, and the lifting height of the lifting mechanism is further controlled, so that the lifting mechanism cannot be excessively lifted, and the whole device is damaged.
In the present embodiment, the first paper feeding roller 22, the reduction gear set 23 and the transmission mechanism are disposed on the paper feeding bracket 2, and the pick-up paper feeding transmission shaft 12 and the pick-up paper feeding rotation shaft 13 are disposed on the paper twisting bracket 1.
Referring to fig. 3 and 5, in an actual use process, the lifting mechanism is fixed on the paper twisting bracket 1, and the lifting mechanism includes a transmission gear 31, a connecting rod 32 and a swing rod 33. The transmission gear 31 is internally provided with a third one-way bearing 311, and the third one-way bearing 311 is arranged on the paper pick-up and feeding transmission shaft 12, so that the transmission gear can only rotate around one direction. The transmission gear 31 is connected with the connecting rod 32 through a gear set, the connecting rod 32 is connected with the swing rod 33, and the swing rod 33 is arranged below the paper aligning sheet 263.
The working principle of the lifting mechanism is as follows: the paper twisting motor 11 rotates anticlockwise to drive the paper pickup and feeding transmission shaft 12 to rotate anticlockwise, at the moment, the third one-way bearing 311 just can clamp the transmission gear 31 to enable the transmission gear 31 to rotate anticlockwise, the connection rod 32 is further driven to rotate clockwise through the gear set, the connection rod 32 rotates the swing rod 33 to enable one end of the swing rod 33 to be lifted, the lifting height of the swing rod 33 is controlled through rotation of the paper twisting motor 11 by a certain angle to prevent excessive lifting, and after the lifting is finished, the motor is locked to be not rotated, so that all gears are not rotated; if the paper twisting motor 11 rotates clockwise, the third one-way bearing 311 cannot hold the transmission gear 31 tightly, so the swing link 33 is not powered by the motor, and a tension spring is arranged below the swing link 33 to reset the swing link 33.
The lifting mechanism can also be set to be a motor and a telescopic upright post, and the paper alignment sheet support 15 is lifted through the telescopic upright post.
Referring to fig. 1-5, in the present embodiment, the pickup frame 1 includes a pickup and feeding wheel cover 16, and one end of the paper alignment sheet frame 15 is movably connected to the pickup and feeding wheel cover 16. Thus, when the lifting mechanism does not act on the sheet aligning support 15, one end of the sheet aligning support 15 naturally droops due to gravity; when the lifting mechanism acts, the paper aligning piece support 15 is lifted to the position clamped with the paper aligning pieces 263, so that the whole paper aligning device can reach a stable clamping state, the front end of each paper aligns the two paper aligning pieces 263 in parallel and level, and then each paper is not inclined.
The paper feeding bracket 2 includes a paper dividing wheel cover plate 26, a paper pressing wheel bracket 261 is provided in the paper dividing wheel cover plate 26, and a paper aligning piece 263 is provided on the paper pressing wheel bracket 261 through a snap spring 262. The force of the snap spring 262 is small, and only the paper aligning piece 263 can be reset towards the bottom. If the clamping state of the paper aligning device is released, the lower end of the paper aligning piece 263 is suspended, at this time, paper enters the scanner, the force of the paper on the paper aligning piece 263 is greater than the force of the snap spring 262 on the paper aligning piece 263, so that the paper jacks up the paper aligning piece 263, and paper feeding is facilitated.
As shown in fig. 6 to 7, the paper feeding rotary sleeve 24 includes a first rotary sleeve 242 and a second rotary sleeve 243 connected thereto, the speed reduction gear set 23 is connected to the first rotary sleeve 242 through a gear or a transmission rod, the second rotary sleeve 243 drives the paper separating wheel 25 to rotate, and a torque limiter 241 is disposed between the first rotary sleeve 242 and the second rotary sleeve 243. Thus, when there is only one paper or no paper between the paper separating wheel 25 and the paper picking and feeding wheel 14, the paper separating wheel 25 is driven by the paper picking and feeding wheel 14 to rotate, and the friction force between the paper separating wheel 25 and the paper picking and feeding wheel 14 is greater than the force of the torque limiter 241; when a plurality of sheets of paper are fed, the friction force between the sheets of paper is small, the paper separating wheel 25 can reverse to drive the redundant sheets of paper to be discharged, and the friction force between the paper separating wheel 25 and the paper picking and feeding wheel 14 is smaller than the force of the torque limiter 241. The torque limiter 241 is primarily used to balance the forces.
Preferably, the paper feeding motor 21 also drives the second paper feeding roller 29 to rotate, and the second paper feeding roller 29 is movably disposed on the paper feeding bracket 2. Thus, the second sheet feeding roller 29 can guide the sheet fed into the scanner. The first paper feeding roller 22 and the second paper feeding roller 29 are respectively provided with a plurality of paper feeding wheel rubber sleeves 221, driven wheels 222 are correspondingly arranged below the paper feeding wheel rubber sleeves 221, the driven wheels 222 are connected through driven wheel fixed shafts, and the driven wheel fixed shafts are fixed on the paper feeding support 2 through springs or support frames. Thus, the paper can smoothly enter the following scanning structure in the guiding process by the matching use of the paper feeding wheel rubber sleeve 221 and the driven wheel 222, and the paper is not bent.
As shown in fig. 1, 8 and 9, a paper detecting piece 27 is movably connected to the paper pressing wheel support 261, and the paper detecting piece includes a first swing arm and a second swing arm, and the first swing arm and the second swing arm are connected by a cross bar. The first swing arm is arranged at a paper feeding port between the paper separating wheel 25 and the paper picking and feeding wheel 14, the second swing arm is arranged on the paper feeding support 2 outside the paper aligning sheet 263, and the paper feeding support 2 is further provided with a paper detection sensor 28 matched with the second swing arm. Like this, the paper is when getting into the scanner in, also can be with first swing arm jack-up, and then makes second swing arm jack-up to trigger paper and detect the sensor, send a paper feed signal for terminal control ware.
As shown in fig. 3, it is further preferable that the sheet feeding carriage 2 is provided with a pressing member 4 above a side edge between the first sheet feeding roller 22 and the second sheet feeding roller 29, and the sheet feeding motor 21 connects the first sheet feeding roller 22, the pressing member 4, and the second sheet feeding roller 29 via a belt. In this way, the paper feed motor 21 can be connected to the first paper feed roller 22 and the second paper feed roller 29 more closely by the pressing member 4.
The working principle is as follows:
(1) the paper twisting motor 11 rotates clockwise first to drive the paper pick-up and feeding transmission shaft 12 to rotate, and because the transmission gear 31 is internally provided with the third one-way bearing 311, the paper pick-up and feeding transmission shaft 12 cannot drive the transmission gear 31 to rotate, so that the swing rod 33 is not powered by the motor, and the swing rod 33 is reset by the tension spring below; meanwhile, under the action of the second one-way bearing, the paper pick-up and feed transmission shaft 12 drives the paper pick-up and feed rotation shaft 13 to rotate, and the paper pick-up and feed wheel 14 rotates.
(2) Fixing the paper stacking position: the pickup motor 11 rotates counterclockwise to drive the pickup paper feeding transmission shaft 12 to rotate, the pickup paper feeding transmission shaft 12 embraces the transmission gear 31 through the third one-way bearing 311 to rotate, and then drives the connecting rod 32 to rotate through the gear set, the connecting rod 32 drives the swing rod 33 for lifting the paper aligning sheet support 15, so that the paper aligning sheet support is clamped with the paper aligning sheet 263, the paper stacking position is fixed, and the paper is placed at this time, so that the front end of the paper is aligned with the paper aligning sheet 263. Meanwhile, due to the action of the second one-way bearing, the paper pick-up and feed transmission shaft 12 slips with the paper pick-up and feed rotation shaft 13, and the paper pick-up and feed rotation shaft 13 cannot be driven to rotate.
(3) The working state is as follows: the paper twisting motor 11 rotates clockwise to drive the paper picking and feeding wheel 14 to rotate clockwise; the paper feeding motor 21 rotates anticlockwise at a high speed, the first rotating shaft sleeve 242 drives the second rotating shaft sleeve 243 to rotate through the torque limiter 241 through the reduction gear set 23, and then the paper separating wheel 25 rotates reversely at a low speed (rotates clockwise);
when a plurality of sheets of paper are fed, the friction force between the sheets of paper is small, the paper separating wheel 25 can reverse to drive the redundant sheets of paper to come out, and at the moment:
(31) only one paper or no paper state: the rotation speed of the paper pickup and feeding wheel 14 is higher, the rotation speed of the paper separating wheel 25 is lower, and the two wheels rotate clockwise; however, because the second rotating shaft sleeve 243 where the paper separating wheel 25 is located has the relationship of the torque limiter 241, the friction force between the paper separating wheel 25 and the paper picking and feeding wheel 14 is greater than the force of the torque limiter 241, the paper separating wheel 25 will rotate along with the paper picking and feeding wheel 14, that is, the paper picking and feeding wheel 14 rotates clockwise, and the paper separating wheel 25 rotates counterclockwise; if a sheet is placed, the sheet entering the scanner will touch the sheet detection plate 27, and the sheet detection sensor 28 will detect the sheet signal.
(32) Entering a state of multiple sheets of paper: the friction force between the paper separating wheel 25 and the paper is larger than that between the paper and the paper, and meanwhile, the friction force between the paper separating wheel 25 and the paper picking and feeding wheel 14 is smaller than the force of the torque limiter 241, so that the paper separating wheel 25 can be driven by the paper feeding rotating shaft sleeve 24 to be reversed, and further the redundant paper is reversed to exit from the scanner, the paper picking and feeding wheel 14 rotates clockwise to drive the paper to enter into the scanner, the paper separating wheel 25 rotates clockwise to drive the paper to be reversed to exit from the scanner, and only one paper is fed into the scanner at each time.
The invention has the beneficial effects that: the scanned paper is fed from the bottom, so that the paper ordering after the scanning is finished is ensured to be in the original order; the paper separating wheel can ensure that only one paper is fed in each time through the speed reducing gear set and the torque limiter; through the cooperation of the paper aligning sheet and the paper aligning bracket, the front end of each paper is ensured to be smooth and not to be inclined before the paper enters the scanner.
