[0048] In the embodiment, the casing 1 further comprises a pressing wheel and a pressing spring, the pressing spring pushes the pressing wheel to press against the lower part of the paper feeding shaft 41, so that after the paper feeding shaft 41 rotates reversely and drives the printing and paper rubbing wheel 22 on the printing paper taking shaft 21 to feed the paper to the paper feeding shaft 41, the paper feeding shaft 41 rotates forward and feeds the paper to the carriage 23.

[0049] The limiting mechanism 5 is further provided, which is used to limit the rotation of the clutch structure 42 to the scanning paper out shaft gear 39 when the paper feeding shaft 41 rotates forward.

[0050] Specifically, the limiting mechanism 5 comprises a pushing plate 51, a limiting plate 52, a reset elastic member 53 and a limiting block 54 arranged on the side surface of the connecting plate 424, the pushing plate 51 is connected in the casing 1, one end of the pushing plate 51 extends to the initial position of the carriage 23, and the other end of the pushing plate 51 is connected with the limiting plate 52, the reset elastic member 53 is connected between the pushing plate 51 and the casing 1, so that when the carriage 23 performs the printing operation, the limiting plate 52 is abutted against the limiting block 54 under the pushing force of the reset elastic member 53, to limit the downward rotation of the clutch structure 42, and after the carriage 23 completes the printing operation and returns to the initial position, the carriage 23 pushes the pushing plate 51, so that the limiting plate 52 is separated from the limiting block 54, to release the limitation on the clutch structure 42.

[0051] Through the limiting mechanism 5, when the paper feeding shaft 41 rotates forward and the carriage 23 performs the printing operation, the reset elastic member 53 pushes the limiting plate 52 to abut against the limiting block 54, to limit the downward rotation of the clutch structure 42, and the clutch structure 42 is in a horizontal state and is not in driving connection with the paper taking gear 24 and the scanning paper out shaft gear 39.

[0052] Preferably, the pushing plate 51 is provided with an inclined guiding surface on the side of the initial position of the carriage 23, which facilitates the pushing of the pushing plate 51 by the carriage 23, and drives the limiting plate 52 and the limiting block 54 to disengage, thereby releasing the restriction on the rotation of the clutch structure 42.

[0053] In the embodiment, the first intermediate gear 45 has a smaller diameter than the paper feeding gear 44, so that the paper feeding gear 44 can drive the clutch structure 42 to be connected with the paper taking gear 24 or the scanning paper taking shaft gear 39 more quickly, thereby improving the work efficiency.

[0054] Preferably, the printing and scanning machine with the shared clutch structure further comprises a first paper taking driving gear 25 and a second paper taking driving gear 26 arranged between the second connecting gear 423 and the paper taking gear 24, the first paper taking driving gear 25 and the second paper taking driving gear 26 are coaxially fixed double gears, and the first paper taking driving gear 25 and the second paper taking driving gear 26 are rotatably connected in the casing 1, the first paper taking driving gear 25 is engaged with the second connecting gear 423, and the second paper taking driving gear 26 is engaged with the paper taking gear 24.

[0055] The first intermediate gear 45, the first connecting gear 422 and the second connecting gear 423 have the same diameter, the first paper taking driving gear 25 has a larger diameter than the second connecting gear 423, and the paper taking gear 24 has a larger diameter than the second paper taking driving gear 26, thereby increasing the torque of the printing paper taking shaft 21, increasing the paper taking force of the printing paper taking wheel 22, and ensuring that the paper is taken into the casing 1.

[0056] In the embodiment, the printing and scanning machine with the shared clutch structure further comprises a first scanning driving double gear 33, a second scanning driving double gear 34 and a second intermediate gear 6 arranged between the second connecting gear 423 and the scanning paper taking shaft gear 39, the first scanning driving double gear 33, the second scanning driving double gear 34 and the second intermediate gear 6 are rotatably connected in the casing 1, the first scanning driving double gear 33 is engaged with the scanning paper taking shaft gear 39 through the second scanning driving double gear 34 and the second intermediate gear 6, when the clutch structure 42 rotates downward, the second connecting gear 423 is engaged with the first scanning driving double gear 33, thereby driving the scanning paper taking shaft gear 39 to rotate, and the scanning driving chain assembly 7 comprises five intermediate driving gears rotatably connected in the casing, the five intermediate driving gears are sequentially connected, and the two intermediate driving gears at the head and tail are engaged with the scanning paper taking shaft gear 39 and the scanning paper taking in shaft gear 35, respectively, and the scanning paper taking in shaft gear 35 and the scanning paper taking shaft gear 39 have a transmission ratio of 1:1.

[0057] The torque of the first scanning transmission double gear 33 and the second scanning transmission double gear 34 can be increased through the reduction effect of the second gear of the first scanning transmission double gear 33 and the second scanning transmission double gear 34, so as to increase the torsion of the scanning paper feeding wheel 32 and the scanning paper discharging wheel 37, and ensure that the paper is smoothly sent into the casing 1 to complete the scanning.

[0058] The specific working process of the printing scanner with the shared clutch structure of the present application is as follows:

[0059] When printing, the driving motor 43 drives the paper feeding shaft 41 to reverse, then drives the clutch structure 42 to rotate upwards around the connecting shaft 421, and makes the second connecting gear 423 of the clutch structure 42 engage with the first paper taking transmission gear 25, then drives the paper taking gear 24 to rotate through the second paper taking transmission gear 26, so as to rotate the printing paper taking shaft 21 and the printing paper rubbing wheel 22, and then the paper can be rubbed into the casing 1 and located between the paper feeding shaft 41 and the abutting wheel, then the driving motor 43 drives the paper feeding shaft 41 to rotate forward, so that the paper can be transmitted to the lower part of the carriage 23 for printing, at the same time, since the carriage 23 is printing, the carriage 23 is away from the initial position, so that the limiting plate 52 of the limiting mechanism 5 is blocked in front of the limiting block 54, to limit the downward rotation of the clutch structure 42, at this time, the clutch structure 42 is in a horizontal state, and is not in transmission connection with the printing device 2 and the scanning device 3, finally, when the printing of the carriage 23 is completed, the carriage 23 returns to the initial position to push the limiting plate 52 away from the limiting block 54, and the limitation of the clutch structure 42 is removed.

[0060] When scanning, the driving motor 43 drives the paper feeding shaft 41 to rotate forward, then drives the clutch structure 42 to rotate downwards around the connecting shaft 421, and makes the second connecting gear 423 of the clutch structure 42 engage with the first scanning transmission double gear 33, then drives the scanning paper discharging shaft gear 39 to rotate through the second scanning transmission double gear 34 and a second intermediate gear 6, and drives the scanning paper feeding shaft gear 35 to rotate through the scanning paper discharging shaft gear 39 through five intermediate transmission gears, so as to rotate the scanning paper feeding shaft 31, the scanning paper feeding wheel 32, the scanning paper discharging shaft 36 and the scanning paper discharging wheel 37, and then the paper can be sent into the lower part of the scanning sensor 8 for scanning, in addition, since the carriage 23 does not need to print, the carriage 23 is always in the initial state, and the limiting mechanism 5 does not limit the clutch structure 42 during the scanning.

[0061] In summary, compared with the prior art, the printing scanner with the shared clutch structure 42 has fewer transmission parts, only one driving motor 43 can drive the printing and scanning, the manufacturing cost is lower, the assembly difficulty is lower, and the design can be miniaturized, which is convenient for users to use.

[0062] The above embodiments only express several implementation manners of the present application, which are described in a more specific and detailed manner, but cannot be understood as a limitation on the scope of the patent. It should be noted that, for ordinary skilled persons in the art, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present application, which all belong to the protection scope of the present application.
