Description

200924501 CMOIIOIW 25657twf.doc/n IX. Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to an office automation device, and more particularly to a multifunction printer. [Prior Art] With the advent of the information society, office automation equipment such as scanners, photocopiers, or printers can be set up in the office, and users can automate these offices. ό is also prepared for paperwork. It is worth mentioning that, when multiple office automation devices are deployed in the office at the same time, these office automation devices will occupy a lot of space, and the office with smaller space is prone to lack of space. Therefore, multi-function peripheral (MPF), which integrates functions such as photocopying, printing and scanning, has been developed.

In one embodiment of the invention, the actuator further includes an elastic member, and the second member is disposed on the first The two rods are 'elastically compressed between the scanning cover and the fourth end. The present invention is implemented as a domain, and the actuation benefit is adapted to the light transmission in the H field. The invention is to set a crying at the pivotal joint between the scanning cover and the outer cover: when the scanning cover or the automatic paper feeder is covered, the cover is called 'Do not 撸 μ 2 will cause the test 11 to generate - The sensory number is further determined whether the cover or the automatic feeder cover is opened.

In order to make the above-mentioned features of the present invention and the embodiment of the present invention, and in conjunction with the closed type, the details are as follows.特特 [Embodiment], 1 Α (4) The exploded view of the multi-function machine of the multi-function machine of the present invention - the embodiment of the multi-function machine, and the dynamics and sensors of the multi-function machine The cover and the connection diagram of the 200924501 CM011U1W 25657twf.doc/n description. Referring to FIG. 1A, FIG. 1 and FIG. 1C, the MFP 1 of the present embodiment mainly includes a scan camera 110, an automatic paper feed suitable for bringing paper into the multifunction printer 1 =, A sensor 13A and an actuator 14A. The scanner module has a body 112 and a scanning cover 114. The scanning cover 114 is pivotally disposed on the body 112 with a first axis A1 as an axis, and the body 112 is provided with a scanning flat Δ1 core and the 'automatic feeder 120 There is an outer cover 122, and the inner wall of the outer cover ^ is provided with a convex structure 122a. The outer cover 122 can be placed therein, and the mechanism is not affected by external force. In the present embodiment, the self-belt = paper 120 is disposed on the scanning cover 114, and the outer cover 122 is pivotally disposed on the scanning cover 114 with the - line A2 as an axis (the second axis A is perpendicular to the axis A1). ^ ^ Cry, the sensor 13 of the second embodiment. For example, the light sensing port, the δ is placed on the pivoting connection 140 between the tracing 114 and the outer cover 122, and is movably disposed on the broom activator squirting spray #114 and the outer cover 122 The pivotal point,

Specifically, when the scanning cover Μ is rotated toward the axis away from the body 112, or the outer cover 122 is rotated in the direction of the second 140 astigmatism scanning cover 114, The actuator produces a light transmission τ of i = and activates the sensor η. The occupant is turned off to determine whether the scanning outer cover 122 is opened. The sub-automatic feeder 120 actuator LV κ of the actuator 140, this embodiment will explain in detail the external feeder 12:) the dynamic I40 and the sensor 130, from 22 and the scanner no f day, the connection relationship. 200924501 urnuiιυ l w zj657twf.doc/n In the present embodiment, the actuator 140 is composed of, for example, a first rod member i42 and a second rod member 144. The first rod member 142 has a first end portion l42a and a second end portion U2b. The second rod member 144 has a third end portion 144a and a fourth end portion 144b. The first jaw 142 is disposed on the third end portion 144a with the third axis A3 as the axis (the third end portion 14 is located between the first end portion 142a and the second end portion 142b), and the first end portion M2a is adapted to rotate with the third minus A3 as the axis. In the present embodiment, the light transmission path of the sensor 130 will intersect the rotation path of the first end portion. Therefore, when the first end portion 142a is rotated to the light of the sensor 13? The portion 142a shields the light, thereby actuating the sense 140 to generate a sensing signal. The embodiment of the present invention will be provided with an opening (10) in the scanning I 114, and the member 144 is disposed in the opening (10) along the moving path L. , when the scanning cover 114 is closed to the body 112, the second rod 14 is four-terminal, M4b is located outside the scanning cover m and abuts against the scanning platform pole; the fifth is when the second rod 144 moves along When the path L slides, the first rod 142 of the 144 slides in conjunction, and the first end portion 142& slides to the external light shielding of the sensor 130 to actuate the sensor 14 to generate a sensing signal. . 144c, and the second rod member 144 of the \" is provided with at least - the engaging structure m4c L slides on the 'engagement path l' and the second rod member 144 is moving

An elastic element (10), such as a spring, is provided that is threaded through the second rod: J 200924501 J657twf.doc/n between the scanning cover 114 and the fourth end 144b. U, the purpose of this embodiment will be explained below. The process diagram of the sensor m is used to illustrate the actuation of the actuator 140.

FIG. 1C is a connection diagram between the actuator and the sensor, the automatic paper feeder cover and the scanner. The protruding structure 122a disposed on the inner wall of the outer cover 122 is away from the first rod 142 during the rotation of the outer cover. While the rotation of the first rod 142 is no longer restricted, the first end portion 142a of the first rod member 142 is pivoted about the third axis A3, and the third rod member 144 is subjected to the action of the elastic member 146. Move the path l to slide. The towel, because the light transmission path of the sensor 13 is intersecting with the rotational path of the first end 2 142a' and the first end of the first rod 142 is the second rod 144 sliding to the sensor m The light transmission path is obtained, and the first end of the scanning cover 114 is rotated away from the smart body 112 and the automatic paper feeder 12 scans the direction of the cover U4, and then the direction is blocked to activate the sensing II 14G to generate the sensing signal. Yu, ', Gu T delivery T' into the internal system can read the scanning cover or: the movement has been turned on. The cover of the present embodiment is the same as that of the actuator of the present embodiment.
