  • Patent number: 10469691
    Abstract: The present invention is related to a scanning device for scanning documents, comprises a flat-bed scanning glass; a contact image sensor arranged above the flat-bed scanning glass separately to form a scanning path therebetween, a bottom surface of the contact image sensor being arranged with a protecting glass, a middle area of the protecting glass being configured as a scanning area, and a chamfer being arranged at the bottom surface of the protecting glass at a downstream position relative to the scanning area. Hence the dust of documents in this invention would be stacked in the chamfer during the scanning process temporarily and then be wiped away by the document itself, so as to assure the dust would not be stacked in the scanning area. The scanning device in this invention is capable to maintain the scanning quality without clearing the dust even after scanned a massive quantity of documents.

  • Patent number: 9243689
    Abstract: A transmission device for an automatic document feeder includes a driving gear set driven by a driving motor, a first swing arm equipped with a first driving roller set, a second swing arm equipped with a second driving roller set, and a one-way gear set driven by the driving gear set to keep transmitting rollers rotating in the same direction. The first swing arm is driven by the driving gear set and swingable between a first position and a second position to mesh the first driving roller set with a pickup device or an output device. The second swing arm is driven by the driving gear set and swingable between a third position and a fourth position to mesh the second driving roller set with the pickup device or the output device. When the first swing arm swings toward the first position, the second arm swings toward the fourth position, and when the first swing arm swings toward the second position, the second swing arm swings to the third position.
