Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of printing equipment technology, and in particular to an integrated printing and scanning storage device. Background Technology

[0002] A multifunction printer / scanner is an office device that combines printing and scanning functions. Its printing function outputs electronic documents as paper documents for storage, while its scanning function converts paper documents back into electronic files for storage. Currently, paper documents output by printers or scanners typically require manual sorting and organization. When there are many document types or when printing in batches, a large number of mixed printouts accumulate on the output tray, increasing the difficulty of sorting for staff and easily leading to the misplacement or loss of important documents. Although some high-end models are equipped with simple pagers or multi-layer output trays, these sorting functions are relatively basic and cannot achieve intelligent sorting. Furthermore, the output tray storage space of existing printers or scanners is limited, making it difficult to meet the needs of processing large volumes of documents. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide an integrated printing and scanning storage device to solve one or more technical problems existing in the background art.

[0004] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A printer-scanner integrated storage unit includes a printer-scanner device, a storage box, a lifting mechanism, and a conveyor. The storage box has multiple vertically distributed storage compartments. The input end of the conveyor is connected to the paper output port of the printer-scanner device. The lifting mechanism is located on one side of the printer-scanner device, and the output end of the conveyor is connected to the storage box. The lifting end of the lifting mechanism has a lifting tray, and the storage box is fixed on the lifting tray. The lifting mechanism is used to drive the storage box to move up and down, moving the target storage compartment to align with the output end of the conveyor. The conveyor is used to receive paper documents printed / scanned by the printer-scanner device and convey the paper documents to the corresponding storage compartment.

[0006] Preferably, the lifting mechanism includes a lifting bracket, a lifting module, and a lifting support plate. The lifting module is vertically mounted on the lifting bracket, and the lifting support plate is located at the movable end of the lifting module.

[0007] Preferably, the lifting mechanism further includes a lifting guide rail and a lifting slider. The lifting guide rail is vertically mounted on the lifting bracket and located on both sides of the lifting module. The lifting slider is mounted on the lifting support plate and slides in cooperation with the lifting guide rail.

[0008] Preferably, it also includes a fixed bracket, on which the printing and scanning device is mounted, and the height of the fixed bracket is flush with that of the lifting bracket.

[0009] Preferably, the conveyor includes a fixed base, an active paper output roller, and a driven paper output roller. The fixed base is provided with a paper output channel, which is flush with the paper output port of the printing and scanning device. The active paper output roller and the driven paper output roller are arranged vertically within the paper output channel.

[0010] Preferably, the transmitter further includes a first photoelectric sensor and a second photoelectric sensor, both of which are located at the end of the fixed base. The detection end of the first photoelectric sensor is vertically upward, and the detection end of the second photoelectric sensor is horizontally oriented towards the storage box.

[0011] Preferably, the lifting mechanism further includes a first limit switch and a second limit switch, with the first limit switch and the second limit switch located at the top and bottom of the lifting guide rail, respectively.

[0012] Preferably, the device further includes a Bluetooth module and a processor module, both of which are electrically connected to the printing and scanning device. The Bluetooth module is used to wirelessly connect to a smart terminal via Bluetooth and receive printing / scanning data and control commands sent by the smart terminal. The processor module is used to control the printing and scanning device to perform printing / scanning operations based on the received printing / scanning data.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By setting a lifting mechanism on one side of the printing and scanning device and placing a storage box with multiple storage compartments on the lifting tray of the lifting mechanism, the lifting mechanism drives the lifting and lowering movement of the storage box to connect the preset storage compartments with the output end of the conveyor. Thus, the paper documents output from the paper outlet of the printing and scanning device are received and conveyed by the conveyor to the preset storage compartments, realizing automatic classification and storage of printed or scanned documents. There is no need for manual sorting, and printing personnel can directly retrieve documents from the corresponding storage compartments, reducing document search time. The lifting mechanism drives the lifting and lowering movement of the paper receiving tray to ensure that all storage compartments can connect with the conveyor, meeting various document classification needs. By setting a storage box with multiple storage compartments, the problem of insufficient space in the traditional paper output tray is also solved, making it more suitable for high-volume printing / scanning scenarios.

[0017] The components include: a printing and scanning device 1, a storage box 2, a conveyor 4, a storage compartment 21, a paper output port 12, a lifting mechanism 31, a lifting tray 314, a fixed bracket 11, a lifting bracket 311, a lifting module 312, a lifting guide rail 313, a fixed base 41, an active paper output roller 43, a driven paper output roller 44, a first limit switch 361, and a second limit switch 362. Detailed Implementation

[0018] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0019] This embodiment provides a printer / scanner integrated storage unit, see attached drawing. Figure 1 and 2 The system includes a printing and scanning device 1, a storage box 2, a lifting mechanism 31, and a conveyor 4. The storage box 2 has multiple vertically distributed storage compartments 21. The input end of the conveyor 4 is connected to the paper output port 12 of the printing and scanning device 1, and the output end of the conveyor 4 is connected to the storage box 2. The lifting mechanism 31 is located on one side of the scanning and printing device 1. The lifting end of the lifting mechanism 31 is provided with a lifting tray 314. The storage box 2 is fixed on the lifting tray 314. The lifting mechanism 31 is used to drive the storage box 2 to move up and down, thereby moving the target storage compartment 21 to connect with the output end of the conveyor 4. The conveyor 4 is used to receive the paper documents printed / scanned by the printing and scanning device 1 and to transfer the paper documents to the corresponding storage compartment 21.

[0020] By setting a lifting mechanism 31 on one side of the printing and scanning device 1, and placing a storage box 2 with multiple storage compartments 21 on the lifting tray 314 of the lifting mechanism 31, the lifting mechanism 31 drives the storage box 2 to move up and down, so that the preset storage compartments 21 are connected to the output end of the conveyor 4. Thus, the paper documents output from the paper output port 12 of the printing and scanning device 1 are received and conveyed by the conveyor 4 to the preset storage compartments 21, realizing automatic classification and storage of printed or scanned documents. There is no need for manual sorting. Printing personnel can directly take out documents from the corresponding storage compartments 21, reducing document search time. The lifting mechanism 31 drives the paper receiving tray 33 to move up and down, ensuring that all storage compartments 21 can be connected to the conveyor 4 to meet various document classification requirements. By setting up a storage box 2 with multiple storage compartments 21, the problem of insufficient space in the traditional paper output tray is also solved, making it more suitable for high-volume printing / scanning scenarios.

[0021] Preferably, the lifting mechanism 31 includes a lifting bracket 311, a lifting module 312, and a lifting plate 314. The lifting module 312 is vertically mounted on the lifting bracket 311, and the lifting plate 314 is located at the movable end of the lifting module 312.

[0022] The lifting module 312 drives the lifting tray 314 to rise and fall, ensuring motion accuracy and allowing multiple preset height positions. This ensures that the lifting tray 314 can drive the storage box 2 to rise and fall, enabling any storage compartment 21 on the storage box 2 to move up and down to dock with the end of the conveyor 4, thus completing the paper feeding operation. The lifting module 312 can also be matched with printer paper outlets 12 of various heights.

[0023] Preferably, the lifting mechanism 31 further includes a lifting guide rail 313 and a lifting slider. The lifting guide rail 313 is vertically mounted on the lifting bracket 311 and is located on both sides of the lifting module 312. The lifting slider is mounted on the lifting support plate 314 and slides in cooperation with the lifting guide rail 313. By setting the lifting guide rail 313 and the lifting slider, the lifting movement of the lifting support plate 314 is guided, preventing the lifting support plate 314 from tilting.

[0024] Preferably, it also includes a fixed bracket 11, on which the printing and scanning device 1 is mounted, and the height of the fixed bracket 11 is flush with that of the lifting bracket 311. By setting the fixed bracket 11, the printing and scanning device 1 is supported. By setting the height of the lifting bracket 311 to be flush with that of the fixed bracket 11, it is ensured that the movement stroke of the lifting tray 314 on the lifting bracket 311 is sufficient to allow all the storage compartments 21 of the storage box 2 to be connected to the output end of the transmitter 4.

[0025] Preferably, the conveyor 4 includes a fixed base 41, an active paper output roller 43, and a driven paper output roller 44. The fixed base 41 has a paper output channel that is flush with the paper output port of the printing and scanning device 1. By arranging the active paper output roller 43 and the driven paper output roller 44 vertically within the paper output channel, the cooperation between the active paper output roller 43 and the driven paper output roller 44 creates a clamping force when receiving and transmitting paper documents, ensuring smooth paper transport in the conveyor 4, avoiding paper jams or deviations, and improving paper output reliability. By setting the paper output channel flush with the paper output port of the printing and scanning device 1, the transition section of paper transport is reduced, lowering the risk of clogging.

[0026] Preferably, the conveyor 4 further includes a first photoelectric sensor and a second photoelectric sensor. Both the first and second photoelectric sensors are located at the end of the fixed base 41. The detection end of the first photoelectric sensor is vertically upward, and the detection end of the second photoelectric sensor is horizontally upward towards the storage box. The first photoelectric sensor at the end of the fixed base 41 is used to detect whether the paper document has completely left the conveyor 4 during the process of conveying the paper document into the storage compartment 21, preventing accumulation or deviation, ensuring the integrity of the paper feeding process, and controlling the operation and stopping of the conveyor 4. The second photoelectric sensor is used to position the lifting and lowering of the storage compartment 2. When the lifting mechanism 31 drives the storage compartment 2 to move to a height close to the end of the conveyor 4, the second photoelectric sensor detects the partition at the bottom of the target storage compartment 21 to ensure that the target storage compartment 21 is aligned with the output end of the conveyor 4.

[0027] Preferably, the lifting mechanism 31 further includes a first limit switch 361 and a second limit switch 362, which are located at the top and bottom of the lifting guide rail 313, respectively. By setting the first limit switch 361 and the second limit switch 362 at the top and bottom of the lifting guide rail 313, physical limits are set on the lifting pallet 314, forming a safety redundancy and ensuring the normal operation of the equipment.

[0028] Preferably, it also includes a Bluetooth module and a processor module. Both the Bluetooth module and the processor module are electrically connected to the printing and scanning device 1. The Bluetooth module is used to wirelessly connect with the smart terminal via Bluetooth and receive printing / scanning data and control commands sent by the smart terminal. The processor module is used to control the printing and scanning device 1 to perform printing / scanning operations based on the received printing / scanning data.

[0029] The technical principles of this utility model have been described above with reference to specific embodiments. These descriptions are merely for explaining the principles of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model in any way. Based on this explanation, those skilled in the art can readily conceive of other specific embodiments of this utility model without any inventive effort, and these embodiments will all fall within the scope of protection of this utility model.
