The utility model relates to the technical field of printers, in particular to a
laser imaging scanning unit of a printer, which comprises a mounting frame, the mounting frame is of a U-shaped structure, an upper scanning head is fixed at the upper end of the mounting frame through a support, a turnover mechanism is arranged below the upper scanning head, and the turnover mechanism comprises a bearing, a first shaft rod, a motor and a lower scanning head. The bearing is fixedly embedded into one side of the mounting frame, and the inner ring wall of the bearing is in
interference fit with a first shaft rod. The turnover mechanism is controlled by the
servo motor to realize 180-degree forward and reverse rotation of the lower scanning head, the scanning end is powered off downwards when not in use, double-sided scanning is supported, a single-sided mode can be switched, the equipment applicability is improved, idle loss of the lower scanning head is avoided, and the service life is prolonged; a
copper alloy conductive block contact power-on design is adopted, an overturning power-off mechanism is matched to reduce
energy consumption, a built-in
sponge brush automatically cleans dust on the surface of a contact during power off, power-on stability is ensured, meanwhile, the contact is covered for dust prevention, and maintenance frequency is reduced.
