[0006] This utility model provides a paper feeding component for a laser printer, which solves the problem that the paper storage position is inconvenient to observe and maintain, and that the device casing needs to be opened to handle the paper when a paper jam occurs.
[0007] 2. Technical Solution:
[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution provided by this utility model is as follows: a paper feeding assembly for a laser printer, comprising a base plate, a feeding roller disposed on the upper surface of the base plate, a suspension frame disposed on the upper surface of the feeding roller, a telescopic cylinder fixedly connected to the surface of the suspension frame, a ventilation pipe fixedly connected to one end of the telescopic arm of the telescopic cylinder, an air inlet pipe fixedly connected to one end of the ventilation pipe, a side support plate fixedly connected to one side of the base plate, and a paper storage mechanism fixedly connected to the upper surface of the side support plate.
[0009] Furthermore, the ventilation pipe forms a lifting structure above the conveying roller via a telescopic cylinder, a drying fan is provided on the surface of the other end of the air inlet pipe, and the paper storage mechanism is located on one side of the conveying roller.
[0010] Furthermore, the conveying roller includes a servo motor, a mushroom gearbox is provided on one side of the servo motor, a conveying roller base is provided on one side of the mushroom gearbox, a transmission gear set is provided on one side surface of the conveying roller base, and a conveying roller is connected to the upper surface of the conveying roller base on one side of the transmission gear set.
[0011] Furthermore, the servo motor and the bevel gear inside the mushroom gearbox form a transmission structure, the gear inside the mushroom gearbox and the transmission gear set form a transmission structure, and two conveying rollers are provided, which form a rotation structure on the base surface of the conveying rollers through the transmission gear set.
[0012] Furthermore, the paper storage mechanism includes a paper storage board, a paper conveying groove on the surface of the paper storage board, a paper conveying roller on the surface of the paper conveying groove, a drive motor on one side of the paper conveying roller below the paper storage board, a fixed baffle on one side of the paper conveying groove, a front baffle on one side of the fixed baffle, a paper groove on the lower surface of the front baffle, a fixed abutment fixedly connected to the other end of the front baffle, a telescopic screw threadedly connected to the surface of the fixed abutment, and a movable limiting plate movably connected to the other end of the telescopic screw.
[0013] Furthermore, the paper conveying roller and the transmission motor form a transmission structure, and the paper is driven into the paper tray by the rolling of the paper conveying roller on the surface of the paper tray. The movable limiting plate forms a telescopic structure on the side of the fixed abutment plate through the telescopic screw.
[0014] 3. Beneficial effects:
[0015] This invention features a reasonable design. During paper loading, the paper stack is placed on the upper surface of the paper conveying trough in the paper storage mechanism, with the bottom of the paper stack in contact with the rollers. By rotating the telescopic screw, the movable limit plate moves, causing the paper stack to press firmly against the fixed baffle. At this point, the drive motor is activated, driving the paper conveying rollers to rotate, which in turn pushes the paper on its surface out of the paper slot below the front baffle, pushing the paper forward to the surface of the feed rollers for secondary paper loading. Since the paper storage mechanism is located outside the printer, when paper jams occur, the paper stack can be removed from above the paper conveying trough, thus clearing the jammed paper and restoring normal operation.
[0016] After the paper extends from the paper slot below the front stop plate, it is pushed onto the surface of the feed roller. The servo motor is activated to drive the transmission gear set and the feed roller to move the paper forward. During this process, the drying fan blows air into the ventilation pipe through the air inlet pipe, so that the ventilation pipe blows air downwards to dry the paper, avoiding paper jams caused by moisture.

[0027] See attached document Figure 1-4 The device includes a base plate 1, a feeding roller 2 on the upper surface of the base plate 1, a suspension frame 3 on the upper surface of the feeding roller 2, a telescopic cylinder 4 fixedly connected to the surface of the suspension frame 3, a ventilation pipe 5 fixedly connected to one end of the telescopic arm of the telescopic cylinder 4, an air inlet pipe 6 fixedly connected to one end of the ventilation pipe 5, a side support plate 7 fixedly connected to one side of the base plate 1, and a paper storage mechanism 8 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the side support plate 7. The ventilation pipe 5 forms a lifting structure above the feeding roller 2 through the telescopic cylinder 4, and a drying fan is provided on the other end of the air inlet pipe 6. The paper storage mechanism 8 is located on one side of the feeding roller 2. This device performs primary feeding through the external paper storage mechanism 8 and secondary paper feeding through the feeding roller 2, which can sort out jammed paper and achieve normal operation.
[0028] The conveying roller 2 includes a servo motor 201. A mushroom gearbox 202 is provided on one side of the servo motor 201. A conveying roller base 203 is provided on one side of the mushroom gearbox 202. A transmission gear set 204 is provided on one side of the surface of the conveying roller base 203. A conveying roller 205 is connected to the upper surface of the conveying roller base 203 via the transmission gear set 204. The servo motor 201 and the bevel gear inside the mushroom gearbox 202 form a transmission structure. The gear inside the mushroom gearbox 202 and the transmission gear set 204 form a transmission structure. There are two conveying rollers 205, which form a rotating structure on the surface of the conveying roller base 203 through the transmission gear set 204.
[0029] In this embodiment, after the paper extends from the paper slot 807 below the front stop plate 806, it is pushed to the surface of the feed roller 205. The servo motor 201 is started to drive the transmission gear set 204 and the feed roller 205 to move the paper forward. During this process, the drying fan blows air into the ventilation pipe 5 through the air inlet pipe 6, so that the paper below the ventilation pipe 5 is dried by the air blowing, thus avoiding paper jam failure caused by moisture.
[0030] The paper storage mechanism 8 includes a paper storage board 801, a paper conveying groove 802 on the surface of the paper storage board 801, a paper conveying roller 803 on the surface of the paper conveying groove 802, a drive motor 804 on one side of the paper conveying roller 803 below the paper storage board 801, a fixed baffle 805 on one side of the paper conveying groove 802, a front baffle 806 on one side of the fixed baffle 805, a paper groove 807 on the lower surface of the front baffle 806, and the front baffle 806... 6. A fixed abutment plate 808 is fixedly connected to the other end surface. A telescopic screw 809 is threadedly connected to the surface of the fixed abutment plate 808. A movable limiting plate 810 is movably connected to the other end surface of the telescopic screw 809. The paper conveying roller 803 and the transmission motor 804 form a transmission structure. The paper conveying roller 803 drives the paper into the paper tray 807 by rolling on the surface of the paper conveying tray 802. The movable limiting plate 810 forms a telescopic structure on one side of the fixed abutment plate 808 through the telescopic screw 809.
[0031] In this embodiment, during the paper feeding operation, the paper stack is placed on the surface above the paper conveying trough 802 in the paper storage mechanism 8, so that the bottom of the paper stack is in contact with the roller. By rotating the telescopic screw 809, the telescopic screw 809 drives the movable limiting plate 810 to move, thereby causing the paper stack to be pressed against the fixed baffle 805. At this time, the drive motor 804 is started, and the drive motor 804 drives the paper conveying roller 803 to rotate, thereby pushing the paper on its surface out of the paper trough 807 below the front baffle plate 806, pushing the paper forward to the surface of the conveying roller 2 for secondary paper feeding. Since the paper storage mechanism 8 is located outside the printer, when paper jam occurs, the paper stack is removed from above the paper conveying trough 802, which can realize the sorting of jammed paper and normal operation.
