[0035] Existing scanning devices usually use a paper feeding mechanism to transport paper to a scanning area in a transparent substrate so that the scanning mechanism can scan the paper. After the paper is scanned, its front edge needs to be lifted up and away from the glass surface under the action of an output channel to achieve output of the paper. However, in the prior art, the paper is easily stuck at the connection between the transparent substrate and the output channel when it is lifted, causing a paper jam, thereby interrupting the scanning.

[0036] To this end, some embodiments of the present invention provide a scanning device 1000, which is specifically referred to in the accompanying drawings of the specification. Figure 1-Figure 7 shown.

It should be noted that, in the present embodiment, the scanning mechanism 100 can be a contact image sensor (CIS), or a CCD (Charge Coupled Device) scanner, or other types of scanning devices with scanning and reading functions. Technicians in this field can choose the setting according to actual conditions, and this embodiment does not limit this.

[0038] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, in the embodiment of the utility model, the transparent substrate 200 can be arranged on the upper side of the scanning mechanism 100, and the first scanning area 210 is arranged at the position corresponding to the transparent substrate 200 and the scanning mechanism 100. In this embodiment, the scanning mechanism 100 can be fixed at the position on the lower side of the transparent substrate 200, so that the transparent substrate 200 can be passed through and the paper located at the upper end of the transparent substrate 200 can be scanned. Specifically, the paper feeding mechanism 300 can be arranged on the upper side of the transparent substrate 200, and the paper feeding mechanism 300 can convey the paper to the first scanning area 210, so that the scanning mechanism 100 can scan the paper passing through the first scanning area 210. The paper feeding mechanism 300 is provided with an output channel 330 arranged on one side of the first scanning area 210, and the output channel 330 is used to output the paper that has completed the scan. It can be understood that the output channel 330 can be located on one side of the first scanning area 210 along the paper conveying direction, so that the paper passing through the first scanning area 210 can be output.

[0039] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 or refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, in the embodiment of the utility model, the guide member 400 can be arranged between the first scanning area 210 and the output channel 330. Based on this, the paper feeding mechanism 300 transports the paper to the first scanning area 210. After the paper is scanned, it can pass through the guide member 400 and the output channel 330 in sequence, thereby realizing the output of the paper. In this embodiment, the guide member 400 can be arranged at an angle, and the end facing the first scanning area 210 is lower than the upper end surface of the transparent substrate 200, so that the paper that has completed the scan can move along the guide member 400 to the output channel 330. It can be understood that the guide member 400 is lower than the upper end surface of the transparent substrate 200, which can make the paper easier and smoother to transition from the transparent substrate 200 to the guide member 400. The inclined arrangement of the guide member 400 can lift the paper and leave the transparent substrate 200, and then transport it to the output channel 330, which solves the problem that the paper is easily stuck at the connection between the transparent substrate 200 and the output channel 330 when it is lifted, and reduces the possibility of paper jams in the process of paper transitioning from the transparent substrate 200 to the output channel 330.

The upper end surface allows the scanned paper to move along the guide member 400 to the output channel 330, which solves the problem that the paper is easily stuck at the connection between the transparent substrate 200 and the output channel 330 when being lifted, and reduces the possibility of paper jams during the transition from the transparent substrate 200 to the output channel 330, thereby improving the protection of the paper and greatly reducing the risk of scanning interruptions in the scanning device 1000, thereby improving the smoothness of the scanning, which not only improves the scanning efficiency of the scanning mechanism 100, but also increases the reliability of the scanning mechanism 100, providing users with a better user experience.
