  • Publication number: 20240134246
    Abstract: An optical switch module includes a housing, at least two first collimators, at least two second collimators, a relay, and plural prisms. The housing has an accommodating space, a first sidewall, and a second sidewall. The first collimators are located on the first sidewall. Each of the first collimators connects even number of first fibers. The second collimators are located on the second sidewall. Each of the second collimators connects even number of second fibers. The second collimators are respectively aligned with the first collimators. The relay is located in the accommodating space and has a rotation support. The prisms are located on the rotation support and respectively between the first and second collimators. The rotation support is configured to enable at least one of the prisms to be in light transmission paths between the first fibers and the second fibers.

  • Patent number: 9182225
    Abstract: A position recognition device of a printer includes a bracket, a platform, a positioning gear, and a base. The bracket includes a receiving shaft. The receiving shaft includes a shaft body and a gear portion mounted to the shaft body. The positioning gear is pivotally located to the platform. The positioning gear includes a gear body and a marker connected to the gear body. The gear body and the gear portion are the same size. The base is slidably mounted to the bracket. The base includes a sensor. The positioning gear is located under the sensor to be aligned with the sensor; the gear portion rotates to drive the positioning gear to rotate. The sensor senses the marker to determine an initial position of the receiving shaft for compensation.

  • Patent number: 8757612
    Abstract: A paper feeding mechanism includes a paper cassette, a feeding roller, a baffle, and a paper separating apparatus. The paper cassette stores stacks of paper. The feeding roller pulls a sheet of paper from the paper cassette and feeds the sheet of paper into a paper transport path. The baffle is located at a side of the paper cassette. The paper separating apparatus is mounted to the baffle and prevents more than one sheet of paper from being fed into the paper transport path at a time.

  • Patent number: 8534193
    Abstract: A cleaning apparatus for a printer, includes a bracket and a paper transmitting apparatus. The bracket includes a paper tray which is adapted to receive a paper located on. The paper tray defines a cutout. A brush is pivotably mounted below the cutout. The brush is covered by any paper in the paper tray, and is exposed through the cutout when there is no paper in the paper tray. The paper transmitting apparatus includes a carrier and a roller rotatablely mounted on the carrier The paper transmitting apparatus rotates the roller to move the paper in the paper tray. The roller can rotate against the brush when the paper tray is empty to be cleaned of any paper scraps.
