  • Publication number: 20240199357
    Abstract: A control device includes a processor configured to perform, in a feeding device including a feeding unit that feeds out a feeding target loaded on a loading unit and a cleaning unit that cleans the feeding unit in a state where the feeding target is exhausted from the loading unit, notification control of issuing notification to prompt a user to take out the feeding target from the loading unit on a notification unit in a case where an addition state in which the feeding target is added to the loading unit occurs before the feeding target is fed out and exhausted from the loading unit.

  • Patent number: 11846891
    Abstract: A feeding device includes a feeding device body of which a downstream end portion in a feeding direction, in which a material to be fed is fed, is mounted on a mounting portion, and that is openable and closable between a closed position where an upstream end portion is positioned above the downstream end portion and an open position where the upstream end portion is positioned on a side of the downstream end portion, a stacked portion that is provided on the feeding device body and on which the material to be fed is stacked in the open position, a detection unit that has a detection member hanging down to a downstream end portion of the stacked portion in the open position, moves to a downstream side in the feeding direction as the detection member is pressed by a downstream end portion of the material to be fed stacked on the stacked portion, and detects a stack of the materials to be fed on the stacked portion, and a restriction unit that restricts movement of the detection member to the downstream side in

  • Patent number: 11845625
    Abstract: A feeding device includes a stacked portion on which materials to be fed are stacked, a feeding roller that feeds the materials to be fed stacked on the stacked portion, a cam that performs first rotation in a state of being in contact with a mounting member on which the feeding roller is mounted and raises the feeding roller, an elastic member that lowers the raised feeding roller to the stacked portion while causing the cam that is in contact with the mounting member to perform second rotation with an elastic force acting on the mounting member, and an applying unit that applies a rotation resistance to the cam performing the second rotation.
