Creation Instructions (1) [Technical Field to which the New Type belongs] This creation relates to an automatic locking device applied to the optical module of a scanner, and particularly refers to an automatic use of the plugging and unplugging action when using a power plug. Locking device for unlocking or locking the optical module. [Previous technology] In the digital technology field, due to the development of optoelectronic technology, electronic devices such as scanners, digital cameras, and digital cameras have been produced. Among them, the scanner can quickly convert paper files into electronic format files. It has been widely used in paperless office environments. In terms of a scanner, the scanner includes at least a body, a cover, an optical module, and a transmission mechanism. The body is provided with a scanning window, and the cover is pivotally connected to one side of the body. The optical module and the The transmission mechanism is set in the machine body, the optical module is set on the carrier, and the carrier can be driven by the transmission module, so that the optical module can reciprocate within the range of the scanning window. Because the optical module is a movable mechanism for the scanner, in order to prevent the scanner from being out of focus or damaged due to vibration during transportation or handling, the scanner manufacturer usually A locker is installed on the tool. This locker locks and fixes the optical module (carrier) before the scanner leaves the factory to avoid damage to the optical module during transportation or handling. Before the next use, the lock must be removed before the scanner can be operated for scanning. However, even if the scanner manufacturer made a clear indication to inform the user that the locker must be unlocked before use, many users ignore this step and start the scanner before unlocking the locker, thus causing pass

Creative Instructions (2) Damage to the moving mechanism or optical module. In order to solve this problem, some manufacturers have placed the locker near the port. When the locker locks the vehicle and covers the port, the user must release the locker to lock the connector. Cables such as cables or power cables are connected to the ports, which can prevent users from hastily activating the scanner before unlocking the latch. However, this method is designed to prevent damage during the manufacturer's handling process and the user's misoperation during the first operation. However, in the future, when the user moves by himself, he may not know that the locker needs to be re-locked or removed. The connection line is too cumbersome to omit this step, which is not an appropriate design for the user. [New content] In view of the foregoing problems of the prior art, the present invention provides an automatic locking device that automatically unlocks or locks the optical module by using the plugging and unplugging action of the user when using the power plug, thereby avoiding optical The module is damaged, and the user does not need to spend extra effort to unlock or lock. The automatic locking device provided by this creation mainly includes a fastener and an elastic element, wherein the fastener is located on the housing of the scanner and has an embedding portion for embedding the scanner's optical module; The elastic element contacts the housing and the fastener; when the power plug of the scanner is inserted into the housing, the fastener is simultaneously pushed to deform the elastic element, and the I-in part is detached from the optical module, and the power plug When the casing is pulled out, the elastic element provides elastic force to reset the insertion portion and fix the optical module. Regarding the characteristics and implementation of this creation, here are some preferred embodiments
