Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automatic page-turning scanner technology, and more specifically, it relates to a folder fixing structure applied to an automatic page-turning scanner. Background Technology

[0002] An automatic page-turning scanner is a device that integrates page-turning, scanning, and storage functions, typically used in office or library environments. This device features automatic paper feeding, automatic page turning, and automatic paper ejection, greatly simplifying the scanning process and reducing the tediousness of manual operation. However, in the original mechanical structure, when scanning documents on this device, if the gap between the pages on both sides is large, the gap in the middle of the book cannot remain upward. If one side of the book is too thick, some pages may bulge after turning, increasing the probability of page curling during the flattening process. This can lead to problems such as missing words and also poses a risk of book damage.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to design an improved structure to address the shortcomings of existing automatic page-turning scanners and avoid the aforementioned problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a folder clamping structure for use in automatic page-turning scanners. After clamping the spine of a document, the spine of the document can always be kept vertically upward, improving the flattening effect, reducing the phenomenon of page folding during the flattening process, resulting in better scanning results, reducing the probability of manual trimming, and reducing the probability of damage to scanned documents.

[0005] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a folder fastening structure applied to an automatic page-turning scanner, including a fixed support plate and a movable clamping mechanism installed on the spine support plate of the automatic page-turning scanner;

[0006] The bottom of the fixed support plate is vertically and fixedly connected to the top surface of one side of the spine support plate;

[0007] The movable clamping mechanism includes a movable clamping plate and a driving mechanism; the movable clamping plate is movably disposed on the top surface of the other side of the spine support plate, the fixed part of the driving mechanism is fixedly disposed relative to the spine support plate, the driving part of the driving mechanism is connected to the outer side of the movable clamping plate, and the driving mechanism is used to drive the movable clamping plate to move on the spine support plate and adjust the distance between the movable clamping plate and the fixed support plate.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, during the movement of the movable clamping plate, the inner side of the movable clamping plate and the inner side of the fixed abutment plate remain opposite and parallel.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the driving mechanism is a cylinder, and a mounting plate is connected between the fixed part of the cylinder and the bottom of the spine support plate, and the extended part of the cylinder is connected to the outer side of the movable clamp plate.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, the drive mechanism is equipped with a control switch.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, it also includes a book-supporting mechanism, which includes at least two sets of top-supporting blocks of different heights, with two top-supporting blocks in each set and the same height. The two top-supporting blocks are detachably connected to both ends of the spine support plate.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the bottom ends of the movable clamping plate are provided with path notches that match the heightening pad.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, anti-slip buffer pads are provided on the inner side of both the fixed abutment and the inner side of the movable clamping plate.

[0014] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the surface of the anti-slip buffer pad is provided with several uniform elastic protrusions.

[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, not all of them. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of this utility model provided in the drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed utility model, but merely represents selected embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, this utility model provides a folder clamping structure for use in an automatic page-turning scanner, including a fixed abutment 1 and a movable clamping mechanism installed on the spine support plate 8 of the automatic page-turning scanner;

[0024] In the automatic page-turning scanner, there are multiple guide shafts connected to linear bearings between the spine support plate 8 and the scanner body, so that the spine support plate 8 can be kept horizontal. Springs are also provided on the outside of the guide shafts to ensure that the spine part of the target document is lifted up by the spine support plate 8 during the scanning process, thus facilitating subsequent scanning work.

[0025] The bottom of the fixed support plate 1 is vertically and fixedly connected to the top surface of one side of the spine support plate 8;

[0026] The movable clamping mechanism includes a movable clamping plate 2 and a drive mechanism. The movable clamping plate 2 is movably disposed on the top surface of the opposite side of the spine support plate 8. The fixed part of the drive mechanism is connected to the bottom of the spine support plate, and the drive part of the drive mechanism is connected to the outer side of the movable clamping plate 2. The drive mechanism is used to drive the movable clamping plate 2 to move on the spine support plate 8 and adjust the distance between the movable clamping plate 2 and the fixed support plate 1. During the movement of the movable clamping plate 2, the inner side surface of the movable clamping plate 2 and the inner side surface of the fixed support plate 1 remain opposite and parallel.

[0027] Specifically, the drive mechanism is equipped with a control switch. Generally, the control switch is set as a physical button, which can be integrated with the controller of the automatic page-turning scanner or set separately. The physical button is used to control the drive unit of the drive mechanism to move and reset, thereby driving the moving clamp 2 to move and adjust the distance between the moving clamp 2 and the fixed stop plate 1, so as to clamp or release the spine of the target document.

[0028] The working principle, usage process, and technical advantages of the folder fastening structure of this utility model are as follows: Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment of the invention, the fixed support plate 1 and the movable clamping mechanism are installed on the spine support plate 8 in the middle of the automatic page-turning scanner. The inner side of the movable clamping plate 2 is opposite to and parallel to the inner side of the fixed support plate 1, and the movable clamping plate 2 is connected to the drive end of the drive mechanism. During actual use, when the folder is securely fixed, it is confirmed whether the movable clamping plate 2 is in contact with the fixed support plate 1. If they are, the drive mechanism's control switch is used to move the movable clamping plate 2 away from the fixed support plate 1, ensuring sufficient space between them. The spine of the document to be scanned is then placed between the movable clamping plate 2 and the fixed support plate 1. By operating the control switch, the drive mechanism's drive part moves the movable clamping plate 2 towards the fixed support plate 1, thus stably clamping the spine of the document. Subsequent scanning can then proceed. After scanning is complete, the control switch is operated to move the drive mechanism's drive part away from the fixed support plate 1, releasing the spine of the document.

[0029] The entire folder's clamping structure is simple and easy to operate. After clamping the document's spine, it maintains a vertically upward position, ensuring excellent document flattening and greatly improving the device's flattening effect. This solves the problem of missing words in the scanned results when documents are flattened. Simultaneously, keeping the spine vertically upward significantly reduces the occurrence of page folds during flattening. This centrally fixed position also improves scanning results, allowing for more precise trimming and greatly reducing the probability of manual trimming. Furthermore, this clamping structure eliminates the pressure plates required on the document placement platforms on the sides of traditional automatic page-turning scanners, reducing the probability of document damage during scanning.

[0030] One implementation of the drive mechanism is as follows: the drive mechanism is a cylinder 3, and a mounting plate 9 is connected between the fixed part of the cylinder 3 and the bottom of the spine support plate 8. The protruding part of the cylinder 3 is connected to the outside of the movable clamping plate 2. That is, one end of the mounting plate 9 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the spine support plate 8, and the fixed part of the cylinder 3 is installed on the top of the other end of the mounting plate 9, which is used to install the cylinder 3 on the spine support plate 8, so that the cylinder 3 can be more stable when it is in motion.

[0031] like Figure 3 As shown, the cylinder 3 of this utility model adopts a double-rod cylinder 3.

[0032] Example 1 of a folder fastening structure: Figure 4 As shown, a book-supporting mechanism is provided on the spine support plate 8. The book-supporting mechanism includes at least two sets of lifting blocks 4 of different heights. Each set has two lifting blocks 4 of the same height, and the two lifting blocks 4 are detachably connected to both ends of the spine support plate 8. A spine support plate 8 can be configured with multiple sets of lifting blocks 4. The two lifting blocks 4 of each set are used simultaneously to raise both ends of the top surface of the spine support plate 8. When actually clamping books, the spine of the document can be raised. Thus, the clamping depth of the document spine between the movable clamping plate 2 and the fixed abutment plate 1 can be adjusted by using the lifting blocks 4 of different heights. This ensures that the content near the spine of various documents is not obstructed after clamping, allowing for more complete content scanning.

[0033] Furthermore, the top support block 4 and the spine support plate 8 are detachably connected. Typically, holes are drilled in both the spine support plate 8 and the top support block 4, and then bolts or other components are used for connection. Alternatively, magnetic pieces can be embedded at both ends of the spine support plate 8, and the top support block 4 can be made of a magnetically attracted metal material, allowing the two to connect magnetically. This makes installation and disassembly more convenient, facilitating quick replacement of top support block 4 sets of different heights during actual use.

[0034] Furthermore, the bottom ends of the movable clamping plate 2 are provided with path notches 5 that match the lifting pad 4, that is, the movable clamping plate 2 can bypass the lifting pad 4 and clamp the spine of the document, which can both lift the spine of the document and clamp the spine of the document in the area of ​​the lifting pad 4.

[0035] Example 2 of the folder fastening structure: Figure 5 As shown, anti-slip buffer pads 6 are provided on the inner side of both the fixed support plate 1 and the inner side of the movable clamping plate 2. This reduces damage to the document spine when holding it.

[0036] Specifically, the surface of the anti-slip buffer pad 6 is provided with several uniform elastic protrusions 7. The use of elastic protrusions 7 can make the force on the spine of the document elastically buffered when it is clamped, which can better protect the spine of the document and increase the friction with the spine of the document, making the clamping of the document more stable.

[0037] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. For those skilled in the art, the present utility model can have various modifications and variations. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
