(Prior Art) Conventionally, an automatic document feeder (hereinafter referred to as ADF) used in a facsimile machine or the like is composed of a document separating mechanism, a document feeding mechanism and a conveying mechanism. This ADF has a large device and a large number of parts. For this reason, a mechanism has been proposed in which a part of the document separating, feeding and conveying mechanism is provided on the same shaft as shown in FIG.

この機構は駆動源にステツピングモーター19を用い正
転、逆転を利用している。
This mechanism uses a stepping motor 19 as a drive source and utilizes forward rotation and reverse rotation.

First, the stepping motor 19 rotates in the direction of the dotted line in the figure. Then the driving force is belt 20, pulley, gear 1
4, 22 and 15 are respectively conducted in the dotted line direction, and the separating roller 9 and the feed roller 10 provided on the same axis as the gear 15 are driven as shown by the dotted line. The transport roller 11 that is in pressure contact with the feed roller 10 is rotated by the one-way clutch 18 toward the driven side.

At this time, the friction roller 5 pressing the separation roller 9 is applied with a pressure of 150 g, which is slightly larger than the friction force between the originals. As a result, when there is one original, the friction roller 5 is rotated by the separating roller 9, and when there are many originals, only the lowermost original is fed and further originals are fed with the friction roller 5.
Rotation is stopped and the paper is not fed.

Next, when the stepping motor 19 rotates in the direction of the solid line arrow, this driving force is transmitted in the direction of the solid line arrow in the gears 16, 22, 17 (the gear 17 receives the action of the one-way clutch 18).

この結果、駆動側と従動側が逆になる。As a result, the driving side and the driven side are reversed.

The original 4 transported by the feed roller 10 and the transport roller 11 is further transported by the transport roller pair 12 on the downstream side thereof. Documents are separated, fed and conveyed by the mechanism described above.

However, as shown in FIG. 5, the separating roller 9 has no place other than the friction roller 5 in pressure contact with other rollers.

Therefore, when the document is thick, the center of the document contacts the pressure plate 24 as shown in the figure, and both ends of the document slip with the feed roller 10 and the document cannot be conveyed any more.
In the case of a thin original, the feed rollers 10 are provided on both sides of the original.
It is conveyed by the frictional force between the feed roller 10 and the conveying roller 11 and is bitten by the pressure contact portion of the feed roller 10 and the conveying roller 11. However, there is a problem that the center of the document is lifted up and wrinkles, skews, and the like, and a sound at the time of conveyance is generated.

尚、第5図において7,8は紙当板である。In addition, in FIG. 5, 7 and 8 are paper contact plates.

In the present invention, the auxiliary roller 25 of the transport roller 11 is provided at the center of the shaft of the transport roller 11. The roller 25 is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the transport roller 11 so that the roller 25 can be easily inserted into the central portion (where the rubber portion is not present) of the separating roller 9. In other words, 2 separation rollers
It is divided and an auxiliary roller 25 is arranged between them. As a result, as shown in FIG. 1, when the original is thick, it comes into contact with the auxiliary roller 25 before it comes into contact with the pressure plate 24, and since the auxiliary roller 25 is the same as the axis of the conveyance roller 11, the auxiliary roller for conveying the original downward. By rotating 25 (in the direction of the arrow), the document is transported to the pressure contact portion between the feed roller 13 and the transport roller 11. Further, when the original is thin, the floating in the center of the original is pushed by the auxiliary roller 25, so that the original is conveyed in a uniform state.
As a result, wrinkles, skews, and noises during transportation are eliminated.
