  • Publication number: 20180208421
    Abstract: A paper feeding device includes a motor, a pickup roller assembly, a velocity sensor and a feeding roller assembly. The pickup roller assembly is driven by the motor for picking up the papers. The velocity sensor is mounted to the pickup roller assembly for detecting rotating speeds of the pickup roller assembly so as to detect speeds of feeding forward the papers. The feeding roller assembly is driven by the motor for continuing feeding forward the papers. A speed discrepancy will be generated between the rotating speed of the pickup roller assembly after the one of the papers is fed to the feeding roller assembly and the rotating speed of the pickup roller assembly which just picks up the one of the papers, when the speed discrepancy reaches a preset value set by the scanner, the scanner is triggered to start scanning.

  • Patent number: 9630386
    Abstract: An automatic gluing machine includes an automatic gluing mechanism. The automatic gluing mechanism includes a sleeve, a pushing component mounted to the sleeve, an assembling head, and a driving module including a gear module. The sleeve is equipped with a first sleeve gear. The pushing component includes a rotating body and a first rotary gear. The assembling head is assembled inside the sleeve. The gear module cooperates the first rotary gear to drive the rotating body to rotate bidirectionally. The gear module cooperates with the first sleeve gear to make the sleeve to rotate in a single direction. A rotation speed difference between the first rotary gear and the first sleeve gear is generated, so after every rotation of the assembling head, a single-direction rotation displacement of the assembling head is generated relative to a last rotation of the assembling head.

  • Patent number: 8201820
    Abstract: A document feeding mechanism includes a driving shaft, a document blocking unit, a tray, an elastic unit and an actuating unit. The tray is pushed up to connect the document blocking unit by the elastic unit. The actuating unit is coupled to the driving shaft and abutted against the tray for pushing down the tray to separate from the document blocking unit. The actuating unit will be driven to allow the tray to be pushed to swing up by the elastic unit for blocking documents. The actuating unit will be driven to abut against the tray for pushing the tray to swing down for separating the tray from the document blocking unit for conveying the documents. Therefore, the document feeding mechanism has high reliability for blocking the documents.

  • Patent number: 8141868
    Abstract: A sheet guiding apparatus assembled on a shelf includes two guiding members, two adjusting plates, a first spring, two push bars, a second spring and two rotating members. The guiding member has a base board. A front of the base board defines a guiding portion defining a horizontal recess. Each adjusting plate is pivoted to an outside edge of the base board. The push bars are movably received in the horizontal recesses and capable of sliding in the horizontal recesses to drive the corresponding adjusting plates to rotate upward or free the corresponding adjusting plates therefrom. Each rotating member is pivoted to a front of the guiding portion. When the rotating member is turned down, the rotating member touches the push bar and pushes the push bar to move rearward so that further drives the adjusting plate to rotate upward till being perpendicular to the base board.
