The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to improve a damping effect of the damping portion, reduce a collision between a paper cassette and a box body, and reduce a difficulty of drawing the paper cassette by a user.
To solve the above problem, the present invention provides a paper feeding apparatus having: the box body is provided with an accommodating cavity; the paper box is positioned in the accommodating cavity, the paper box can be moved out of the accommodating cavity by pulling the paper box, and the paper box can be pushed into the accommodating cavity by pushing the paper box; a damping portion adapted to apply a resistance to the carton during movement; a detection unit adapted to detect carton information; and the control part controls the resistance applied by the damping part to the paper box or the opening time of the damping part according to the paper box information detected by the detection unit.

In the above paper feeding apparatus, the paper cassette information includes a paper cassette moving speed, a paper cassette position, or a paper cassette weight.
Therefore, the resistance applied by the damping part to the paper box or the opening time of the damping part is synchronously adjusted along with the change of the moving speed of the paper box, the position of the paper box or the weight of the paper box, so that the damping applied by the damping part is accurately matched with the state of the paper box, and the damping effect of the damping part is further improved.
In the above paper feeding apparatus, when the paper cassette information is a paper cassette moving speed, the greater the resistance applied to the paper cassette by the damping portion.
Therefore, the detection unit detects the moving speed of the paper box, and the control part regulates and controls the damping part. The larger the moving speed of the paper box is, the larger the resistance applied to the paper box by the damping part is, so that the damping part can timely reduce the moving speed of the paper box under the state that the moving speed of the paper box is high, and the risk of collision between the paper box and the box body is reduced. In addition, in a state that the moving speed of the paper box is low, the resistance applied to the paper box by the damping part is reduced, so that the energy consumption of the damping part is reduced.
In the above paper feeding apparatus, when the paper cassette information is a paper cassette weight, the resistance applied to the paper cassette by the damping portion increases as the paper cassette weight increases.
The greater the weight of the carton, the greater the inertia of the carton during the movement of the carton and thus the greater the resistance required to slow down the speed of movement of the carton. Therefore, the detection unit detects the weight of the paper box, and the larger the weight of the paper box is, the larger the resistance applied to the paper box by the damping part is, so that the moving speed of the paper box is effectively reduced in the moving process of the paper box, and the risk of collision between the paper box and the box body is reduced.

In this embodiment, in a state where the paper cassette 120 is completely pushed into the accommodating cavity, the second position sensor 822 on the same side as the speed sensor 810 is located between the speed sensor 810 and the rear wall of the paper cassette 120.
The control part receives the paper box information detected by the detection unit at any time so as to control the opening of the damping part.
Thus, the duration of the resistance force applied to the paper cassette 120 by the damping portion varies with the change of the paper cassette information to achieve precise control of the moving state of the paper cassette 120.
In the process of pulling the carton 120 out of the accommodating cavity, the damping part does not apply resistance to the carton 120 in the initial stage so as to reduce the difficulty of the user pulling the carton 120. When the rear wall of the paper cassette 120 moves to the second position sensor 822, the control portion opens the damping portion, which applies resistance to the paper cassette 120 to reduce the moving speed of the paper cassette 120. When the speed sensor 810 detects that the moving speed of the paper box 120 is reduced to zero, the control part closes the damping part, and the paper box 120 continues to move out of the accommodating cavity under the drawing action of the user.
The damping portion does not apply resistance to the paper cassette 120 at the initial stage in the process of pushing the paper cassette 120 out of the receiving cavity into the receiving cavity to reduce the difficulty of the user pushing the paper cassette 120. When the rear wall of the paper box 120 moves to the second position sensor 822, the control portion opens the damping portion, and the damping portion applies resistance to the paper box 120 to reduce the moving speed of the paper box 120, so as to prevent the rear wall of the paper box 120 from colliding with the inner wall of the receiving cavity, thereby protecting the paper box 120. When the first position sensor 821 detects that the distance from the rear wall of the paper box 120 is a predetermined distance, it is determined that the paper box 120 is completely pushed into the accommodating chamber, and the control portion closes the damping portion, thereby removing the resistance applied to the paper box 120 by the damping portion.
In another embodiment, when the paper box information is the position of the paper box 120, the paper box 120 moves to the first predetermined position of the accommodating cavity, and the control part opens the damping part. The paper box 120 moves to the second preset position of the accommodating cavity, and the control part closes the damping part.
Thereby, when the paper box 120 moves to the first preset position of the accommodating cavity, the damping part exerts resistance on the paper box 120 to reduce the moving speed of the paper box 120, on one hand, the damping part helps to prevent the paper box 120 from colliding with the inner wall of the accommodating cavity; on the other hand, the energy consumption of the damping part is reduced.
Furthermore, when the paper box 120 moves to the second predetermined position of the accommodating cavity, the control part closes the damping part to remove the resistance applied by the damping part to the paper box 120, which is beneficial to reducing the difficulty of the user when pulling the paper box 120 outwards and is convenient for the user to operate.
In another embodiment, the detecting unit further includes: and the weight sensor 830, the weight sensor 830 is arranged on the bottom wall of the paper box 120 and is suitable for detecting the weight of the paper put in the paper box 120.
When the paper cassette information is the weight of the paper cassette 120, the greater the resistance that the damping portion exerts on the paper cassette 120.
The larger the weight of the paper cassette 120, the larger the inertia of the paper cassette 120 during the movement of the paper cassette 120, and thus the larger the resistance required to reduce the moving speed of the paper cassette 120. Therefore, the detecting unit detects the weight of the paper box 120, and the larger the weight of the paper box 120 is, the larger the resistance applied to the paper box 120 by the damping part is, so that the moving speed of the paper box 120 is effectively reduced in the moving process of the paper box 120, and the risk of collision between the paper box 120 and the box body 110 is reduced.
In other embodiments, the carton information further includes: the control part controls the resistance applied by the damping part to the paper box 120 or the opening time of the damping part according to the paper box moving acceleration detected by the detection unit.
The greater the acceleration of the movement of the paper cassette during the movement of the paper cassette 120, the greater the resistance required to reduce the speed of the movement of the paper cassette. The control part controls the resistance applied by the damping part to the paper box 120 or the opening time of the damping part according to the paper box moving acceleration detected by the detection unit, so that the moving speed of the paper box can be effectively reduced, and the damping effect of the damping part can be improved.
Specifically, the detecting unit further includes: and the acceleration sensor is arranged on the inner wall of the accommodating cavity corresponding to the side wall of the paper box 120.
The acceleration sensor functions to detect the moving acceleration of the paper cassette 120, thereby acquiring the moving state of the paper cassette 120 from time to time.
The resistance that the damping portion applies to the movement of the paper cassette 120 can be continuously changed.
Therefore, the resistance exerted by the damping part on the paper box 120 continuously changes along with the change of the paper box information, and the motion state of the paper box 120 is favorably and accurately controlled.
In this embodiment, the paper feeding apparatus 100 further includes: a storage portion adapted to store a correspondence table of resistance values and paper cassette information; the control part also controls the resistance value applied to the paper box 120 by the damping part or the opening time of the damping part according to the corresponding table of the resistance value and the paper box information.
Therefore, the control part can perform proper regulation and control operation on the damping part. Under the same carton information state, the control part carries out the same regulation and control operation on the damping part according to the resistance value and the carton information corresponding table, thereby being beneficial to shortening the regulation and control time while ensuring the regulation and control effect.
