Full automatic page-turning scanner for documents and books

Abstract

The invention provides an automatic page-turning scanning device and a method thereof. The method comprises the following steps: arranging a book to be scanned on the two table tops of a book shelving device, controlling the book shelving device to horizontally move to an appropriate position below a glass plate, lifting the two table tops to jack up the book to cling to the glass plate so as to finish scanning, drawing back the two table tops to enable the book shelving device to horizontally move back to an appropriate position to jack up the book so as to cling to a baffle and the page-turning pulley of the glass plate, moving the vacuum chuck device of a page-turning device downwards in the vertical direction to the page of the book to be sucked, sucking up, sucking up and pulling back a single page, moving the two table tops towards the glass plate simultaneously to release the single page which is drawn up, drawing down the two table tops when the page falls on the page-turning pulley at the left end of the glass plate, continuing to move the book shelving device to finish page turning, and then scanning a new page. The automatic page-turning scanning can be realized by repeating the actions of horizontal moving and page sucking. The device has the advantages of no damage to the page, low cost, simple manufacturing, convenient operation, labor and material saving, safetyand reliability.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a scanning device, in particular to an automatic page-turning scanning device and a scanning method thereof. Background technique [0002] Most of the current scanning devices require the operator to place the book on the scanning panel when scanning a book, and require the operator to place the book in a position that matches the layout size according to the pre-specified scale line of the scanning device , and then the scanning device scans a certain page of the book. After the page is scanned, the operator needs to manually turn over the scanned page, place the new page to be scanned in a suitable position, and then scan, and so on, until all the pages to be scanned are scanned. . It can be seen that when using the above-mentioned traditional scanning device to scan thicker books, the user needs to stand in front of the scanning device for a long time to perform corresponding book flipping and alignment operations, which n...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] Although the improved scanning device has realized the function of automatically turning the book, it also has the following defects: 1. The size and size of the book are not automatically detected, and the automatic turning in the scanning device is not performed according to the size of the book. The page mechanism performs initial positioning, so that when scanning books of different layout specifications (such as B5, A4, A3), the automatic page-turning mechanism of the scanning device cannot be positioned on the book-turning position most suitable for the layout, so it cannot It is beneficial to play the role of the book-turning mechanism with maximum efficiency; 2. The above-mentioned improved scanning device cannot determine whether only one page of the book is turned at a time, so there will be occasional automatic turning due to static electricity between the pages or other reasons. The page mechanism will turn over two or more pages at a time, which will cause the scanning result to be inconsistent with the actual content of the book. For example, the book to be scanned is 1000 pages, but only 999 or less are finally obtained due to the overlapping of pages. It can be seen that the scanning quality of the improved scanning device cannot be well guaranteed; 3. The above-mentioned improved scanning device uses mechanical parts to rub up the pages of the book (that is, the book rubbing mechanism), which is easy to damage the pages of the paper; 4. The above-mentioned After the improved scanning device scans the book, it also obtains individual scanned image files, which requires the user to spend a lot of time processing the scanned files and compiling them page by page into a complete set of files, thereby It also increases the labor intensity of the user and wastes the user's time. At the same time, since the operation is manually completed by the user, there may be errors in the final edited file due to the negligence of the user.

[0005] There are also some improved automatic scanning devices, such as some more advanced automatic scanning devices in the United States and Europe, which require huge digital line support, are very bulky, have complex page-turning structures, and are expensive, and even operators need to pay attention. Safety during manual intervention (the sliding of the glass plate holding the turned-up page may cause personal injury due to sudden movement during manual intervention by the operator, etc.)
