2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional automatic conveying apparatus, the uppermost document placed on a document table is fed to a separation unit by a call roller, and the separation unit rotates to feed the document in the paper feeding direction. And a separation roller that rotates in the opposite direction to the sheet supply roller and returns the document, so that only one document is conveyed to the reading unit.
The friction coefficient of the separation roller with respect to the document is set to be smaller than the friction coefficient of the feed roller with respect to the document and larger than the friction coefficient between the documents. As a result, the document can be conveyed while being separated one by one. Various proposals have been made regarding the shapes of the separation roller and the paper feed roller in order to increase the document conveyance efficiency and prevent the document from being broken or other problems. For example, a gap is provided between the separation roller and the feeding roller, and a part is made non-contact.A driven roller is rotatably fixed coaxially with the separation roller, and is rotated by being pressed against the feeding roller. There have been proposed a configuration in which the separation roller and the feeding roller are not in contact, a configuration in which the separation roller and the feeding roller are alternately arranged in a non-contact manner, and the like. In addition, related to this type of device is, for example, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 63-4573.

In any of the above-mentioned prior arts, the separation roller has only one kind of friction coefficient in any of the configurations, and the separation roller having a large friction coefficient moves in the opposite direction to the sheet feeding direction (sheet feeding preventing direction). However, since the front end of the fed document abuts on the separation roller, a non-feeding jam that cannot enter the separation portion is likely to occur. In addition, in the configuration in which the document is slid and transported by the paper feed roller and the rotatable driven roller, the slip is small and the transport efficiency is good. is there. Further, when a slip occurs, the image surface of the document may rub against the sheet feeding roller, and the sheet feeding member or the document itself may be stained.

Next, the operation of the automatic document feeder of this embodiment will be described. For example, the automatic document feeder is lowered by the closing operation of the connecting member, and the document 1 is placed on the document table with the image surface facing upward. At this time, the document 1 is positioned by abutting the paper feed end of the document 1 against the stopper 10. Further, when a start button (not shown) of the copier main body operation section is pressed, the call roller 3 retracted upward descends until it comes into contact with the original 1 as shown in FIG. The document 1 is pinched and pressed, and is rotated in the sheet feeding direction to feed the document 1 from the uppermost document 1. The document 1 fed in this manner is most revolved by rotating the paper feed roller 4 in the paper feed direction and rotating the guide roller 15 and the blocking roller 12 constituting the separation roller 5 in the opposite direction (paper feed blocking direction). Only top document 1 is corner 17 of blocking roller 12
The sheet is separated at a and 17b, and is conveyed to the conveying roller pair 6 by the sheet feeding roller 4 and the driven roller 13 that follows the sheet feeding roller 4. At this time, the guide roller 15 having a smaller friction coefficient
Is located at a position higher by the step h2 than the blocking roller 12 having a larger coefficient of friction, so that the fed document 1 is smoothly guided by the guide roller 15 to the nip portion with the sheet feeding roller 4, and , The entry of the next original can be prevented. Therefore, the separation operation can be performed in a state where the slip in the separation section is very small. The document 1 thus separated one by one is conveyed to the slit glass 8 by the convey roller pair 6, and when passing between the white reflection guide 7 and the slit glass 8, the image surface is read by the exposure unit. . The read original 1 is discharged to a document discharge table 18 via a discharge roller pair 9.

According to the present embodiment, a guide roller 15 having a friction coefficient smaller than that of the document 1 is provided at the center of the separation roller 5,
At both ends, there are blocking rollers 12 having a higher friction coefficient than the original 1 and the guide rollers 15, and further, at both ends of the separation roller 5, there are driven rollers 13 which follow the paper feed roller 4, and the guide rollers 15 A step is provided so as to be higher in the order of the roller 12 and the driven roller 13, and the central portion of the paper feeding roller 4 is formed in a concave shape so that the paper feeding roller 4 overlaps the guide roller 15 and the blocking roller 12 in a non-contact manner. The original 1 first comes into contact with the guide roller 15 having a small coefficient of friction, smoothly enters the nip portion with the feed roller 4 with a small conveyance resistance, and then the feed roller 4 and the driven roller 13 for efficient transport. Accordingly, the slip of the document 1 can be reduced to prevent a reduction in the transport efficiency and the non-feed of the document 1, and also prevent the document surface from being rubbed by the feed roller 4 and contaminated. Further, the double feed of the document 1 can be prevented by the blocking rollers 12 at both ends of the guide roller 15 as in the related art.

As described above, according to the present invention,
Conventionally, the separation roller (= guide roller and blocking roller) and the feed roller of the separation section are arranged in non-contact, and the center (= guide roller) and both ends (= blocking roller) of the separation roller have different friction coefficients. In the same manner as described above, double feeding of originals can be prevented, and slip at the separation unit can be suppressed to prevent occurrence of an original non-feeding jam. More specifically, the diameter of the center of the separation roller is larger than the diameter of both ends, and the friction coefficient at the center is smaller than the friction coefficient of both ends. The driven roller has a driven roller that rotates while being pressed against the roller, and the diameter of the driven roller is smaller than the diameter of both ends of the separation roller. Since the contact rollers are configured to overlap each other, the center of the separation roller having a small coefficient of friction can suppress the slip and increase the transport efficiency, and can prevent the non-feeding jam of the document and enhance the reliability. Further, by suppressing the slip, it is possible to reduce the contamination of the sheet feeding member and the document itself.
