AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Existing media conveying devices have difficulty effectively removing media when paper is jammed, especially when the media is blocked in the flipping path. The design of the fixed guide makes it difficult to remove the media from the flipping path.
Method used
The design employs a combination of the first, second, and third units. Through the coordinated action of the rotating shaft and the support unit, a portion of the flipping path is opened, enabling the smooth transport and retrieval of the medium.
Benefits of technology
When the media is jammed, the media can be easily removed by the cooperation of the rotating shaft and the support unit, avoiding media residue and ensuring the normal operation of the reading unit.

Abstract
The present invention relates to a medium conveying device and an image reading apparatus. There is a possibility that it is difficult to remove a medium from a reversal path in a state where the medium is jammed. A document conveying device is provided with a main unit constituting an inner side of a reversal path, a cover unit opening a part of the reversal path, a movable unit, a conveying roller, a driven roller, and a roller support unit constituting an outer side of the reversal path. The roller support unit is rotated in a direction away from the driven roller from the conveying roller by a force received from the cover unit. The movable unit is rotated in a direction of retreat from the main unit by a force received from the roller support unit.
