The printing device 10 also includes a deformation output of a sensor die paper 14 during paper feeding, a corresponding one and a paper restraint 34 (paper used to enter the sensing area of the sensor module 3 2 on the paper 14). Buckling. The third is a functional block diagram of the printing device 10. The printing control unit 36 is electrically connected to the sensing module 32 and the sensing signal output by the horse sensing module 32. The paper i 4 can be By controlling the action of the motor 30, the control unit 36 pack is used to amplify the paper detected by the sensor module 32. A type of td digital converter (anal0g, t0_digital) is used to convert the amplifier 38 The output analog signal conversion device further includes a presentation unit 42 electrically connected to the state where the paper 14 is detected by the presentation sensing module 32. This is a flowchart of the paper feeding mechanism of the present invention. The process package I; Structure 2 4 starts to feed paper 1 4 to group I 3 2 Detects the number of buckling and deformation of paper 1 4 to control unit 36; Yiyuan 36 judges paper 1220883 based on the corresponding sensing signal V. Description of invention (5) 1 4 Whether the paper feed is normal, if the normal paper is completely fed out, if it is abnormal, continue to feed Paper feed action until step 106: The control unit 36 executes step 106 on the control unit 30; 30 receives an interruption signal sent by the control unit 36/2, and the paper feed action by the motor mechanism 24, ^: off After the signal, the paper feed is stopped. Step 108: End the paper feed action. And the paper feed continues with the paper feed roller and then the paper is read as shown in Figure 5. Because the paper reaches 30, the roller 28 and the moment of paper feed fall immediately. The deformation of the sensing deformation emits a sensing signal and the measuring instrument is assembled, etc. However, the limitation is within, so the force can be described in detail from Ma 28, and take 14 and the roller.

Description of the invention (6) ~ _ When a sensing area is restrained, the bending and deformation of the paper 14 is restrained, and the paper restraint y4 is 5mm away from the sensing module 32, that is, the paper ^ The deformation amount of 14 $ is limited to 5mm, and the distance between the paper restraint 34 and the sensing module 32 can be determined by the designer's own decision according to the effective sensing range of the sensing module 32. The paper can be freely fixed at the fixed end, and the paper supporting frame 16 can be fixed to move 14, the shape of the paper roller end, and the end of the paper feed roller is a sufficient basis for fluctuation. 1 6 becomes paper 1 4 at one end of the paper. After the completion, it is in the end state of 2 6 and the fixed end wheel 28 in the paper is synchronized with the fixed end. The buckling deformation 1 4 starts to move the free end to facilitate the paper feed bracket second feeding. The paper moves forward because it has not been sent for 1 to 4 times. This makes it even more useful, and when providing the movement, it is necessary to make the paper, that is, the paper does not need to be able to fluctuate, and then support and fix it. While the paper feeds through the paper feed support, one of the fixed paper rollers 2 of the frame 16 is fixed to the paper 1 4 so that the paper 1 1 is a paper 1 4 and the forward movement sensor module 3 2 emits 14 adjacent sheets 1 4 Deformation, the paper has not been set in progress, so it can be regarded as an automatic process. The output is sensed when the paper is pressurized and the paper 1 4 appears to be slippery. The signal from the end can be seen in Figure 6, which is shown in Figure 6. When the paper 14 is normally fed, the motor 30 and the sense 32 are signal waveforms. As shown in the figure, if the paper is "pulled for normal paper feeding = every time the motor 30 receives a driving signal, the paper! 4 will go forward, forward-a short distance, and the moment the paper 14 advances will become ^ Fang buckling deformation 'so the sensing module 32' will sense the g-deformation of the paper " 1220883 5. The description of the invention is changed and a corresponding driving signal and sensing response signal of 30 are generated After the time interval has elapsed, the sensor module 3 2 detects that it was born, so it is the paper. Figure 7 shows the paper when the paper 14 is jammed. When paper 1 4 sends the drive signal, it means that That is to say, the paper 14 cannot be advanced, and the paper 14 is buckled and deformed. The deformation of the sheet 14 is changed without sensing the paper 36 detected by the module 32. The amplifier 38 is first replaced by the amplifier 40 and the amplifier 38 is output. The control unit 36 can determine whether the sheets of paper 14 are feeding normally or responding to the response signal waveform, and the horse module 3 2 彳 detects that the deformation of the paper 1 4 is not large, and the motor 3 0 The driving signal generated by the paper 1 4 The response signal generated by the deformation should be 1 4 the normal paper feeding condition Please refer to Figure 7. Signal waveforms of up to 30 and sensing module 32. When paper jams occur, the motor 30 will continue to indicate that the motor 30 is still rotating, but no paper will be produced due to the paper jam. 1 4 caused by the moment of advance, so the sensor module 32 cannot sense that the paper will produce a corresponding response signal waveform. And the buckling deformation of Zhang 1 4 will be transmitted to the control unit to make the fluctuation change, and then go through the analog digital The analog signal of the rotation is converted into a digital signal, and the control signal and the above-mentioned judgment methods are used to determine the status of the paper jam.
