To avoid this, it usually enters the medium. Use various methods to eliminate the skew of the media before printing or scanning the area. U.S. Patent No. 6,011,948 discloses a correcting device in an image forming apparatus. Referring to Figures ί, 11, the reversing device includes a compliant element 15 and a connecting member π, and the plurality of correcting elements 15 are connected by the connecting member 16 And the corrective splitting is placed on the drive shaft 18 of the roller η. One end of the torsion spring at both ends of the device acts on the connecting member 16, and the transmitted leading edge contacts the correcting surface of the correcting element 15, the medium S forms a predetermined curvature in the process of pushing the correcting element 15 and the correcting element is rotated under the push of the medium S. The fixed skew is corrected, and when the medium S is worn, the deflector 15 will return to the initial position. There are also some inadequacies in the phase-corrected single-bias element. For example, the medium-to-medium pair is early and the cost is low, but the torsion spring 24 _ is lower, and _ s is biased? The professional wheel, _, and device exert a large force on the fS, which makes it easy to damage the quality of the 200924982. Moreover, since the correcting device is integrally mounted on the drive shaft i8, the device can not be corrected due to the deflection caused by the assembly tolerance of the roller. In addition, when the medium s front = yang is in contact with the correcting element 15, the edge feeding is corrected, and the correction is corrected.

When the medium is skewed _ positive and its leading edge reaches the scale of the roller set, the _ force of the medium disappears, and the medium f can be avoided. damage. In order to solve the above technical problem, the medium deflection correcting mechanism of the present invention comprises: the Γ motor drives the rotation; a driving wheel, the driving wheel is mounted thereon, and the driving wheel is rotated; the driven wheel, the slave The moving wheel is combined with the main body to form a clamping gap for transmitting the medium, and a correcting member, the correcting member is set to drive, the tree direction of the recording f, _inclination, and the position of the women's clothing can be freely rotated. 1 having a rectifying position and a releasing position, wherein the suppressing is selectively contacted with the main member and the member, and the field is restrained by the rectifying member: the rotation of the main body to make the correcting member in the correcting position; and an actuating member The enveloping article is mounted on the drive shaft, and the moving wheel rotates 'and can be used by the human and the moving shaft to make the correcting member connect with the main carrier", σ σ H to force the accessory to connect with the aging collar, the unloading station The phase suppression causes the (four) pieces to move from the position to the release position. The correcting member and the right-forming portion and the crotch portion, the restraining portion and the suppressing member selectively contacting the connection 8 200924982 to load the suppression; the correcting to correct the medium low button .. The portion is deflected by the mass and the object portion and the correcting portion are located at the both end portions of the correcting member, and the position correcting portion is a bump. The depressed part is a bump. The restrained portion can also be a groove. The smear-inhibiting end, the # suppressing end, and the suppressing portion are selectively connected to the depressed portion, and have a fixed end, and the fixed end is connected to the - regulating structure. Tune, and, "construction of at least two pillars with different dimensions. The suppressing member is - an elastomer. The elastic body may be a torsion spring or an elastic sheet. The actuating member is a compression spring. In order to better correct the deviation of the medium, the surface in contact with the medium is inclined and aligned. Knowing the use of such a structure, 'Because of the elastic member between the driving wheel and the correcting member, when the leading edge of the medium reaches the gap of the roller set, the elastic device is separated from the depressed portion. The correcting member will be in the elastic member. Under the action of the rotation together with the driving wheel, the resistance of the correcting member to the medium disappears, and the damage to the transmission of the medium f can be avoided. Moreover, since the device is provided on the frame, it can be combined with the restrained portion of the display, so that the effect of correcting the skew can be better achieved when the medium is in a stationary state during the correction of the medium deflection. And because she has two corrections on the set, the deflection of the different thickness media can be achieved by placing the torsion spring-end on the non-protrusion 9 200924982 correction. [Embodiment] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings: Fig. 1 is a structure of a sweeping (four) rail machine _ H mode dielectric skew correcting mechanism, and a stack of money is stacked on a paper feed tray. At the beginning of the feed path of the medium, the take-up wheel 23 (four) of the paper take-up roller 23 〇 will take the medium 逐 out of the paper feed tray 21 逐, and feed the medium transport path secret, via the feed roller 220 The media 进 is fed in the F direction along the transport path (4). After passing through the driving wheel 246 and the driven wheel 247, scanning is performed by the scanning module, and finally the scanned medium is sent out to the output tray (4) by the paper discharge roller 25〇. A drive wheel 246 and a driven wheel 247, and a correcting member 251 connected to the drive wheel 246 are disposed on the transmission path 243. Referring to FIG. 2, the driving shaft 245 is disposed on the scanner frame (fr_). The driving wheel is fixed on the driving shaft 24s and driven by a motor (not shown). The driven wheel 247 is located under the driving wheel 246. Side, and rotate relative to it to form an inflammatory holding gap (mp), 贱 介 # # '. The eccentric member (5) is mounted on the drive shaft 245 and rotates about the drive shaft 245 as an axis, and is located outside the drive wheel and at a position close to the frame 241. A compression bomb * 252 is sleeved between the correcting member 251 and the driving wheel 246, so that the connecting end surface 257 of the correcting member 251 and the end surface of the driving wheel 246 are respectively disposed on the two sides of the housing bomb * Μ 2 tight connection. 200924982. When the wheel 246 is rotated in the paper feed direction, due to the connection relationship of the three, the _ biasing member 251 directly applies the rotational force by the compression spring 252 to rotate in the same direction as the main wheel 246. The correcting member 251 is sleeved on the driving shaft 245, and has a correcting position and a release=setting, wherein the correcting lake is convexly recognized on the outer surface of the adjacent end surface of the correcting member 251. The angle 前 of the front edge of the medium μ from the paper feed direction is at right angles. The restrained portion 256 protruding on the correcting member 251 at this time can be in contact with the restraining end 267 of the suppressing torsion spring 253 to load and suppress the loading. The correcting member 251 controls the correcting member 251 to rotate without the driving wheel rotating. Referring to FIG. 3, the position of the correcting portion 255 is close to the connecting end face of the correcting member 251, and the depressed portion 256 is adjacent to the free end surface 258 of the correcting member 251. At the same time, the above-mentioned twisting f 253 is located above the correcting member 251 and is fixed to the boss 264 of the frame 1. There are three side section broadcast positions in the frame body, and the 凸起 can be raised ‘26 262, 263 respectively. The torsion spring 253 has two functional ends, and the solid end 266 is abutted against any slot in the adjustment gear, or added or 2 times, depending on the thickness of the enamel. The fixed end Μ 6 abuts against the projection 262 as a gear position. The suppressing end of the torsion spring 2S3 is in contact with the restraining portion 256 of the correcting member 251 and appropriately abuts against the restraining portion 256 to prevent the correcting member from continuing to rotate with the driving wheel 246. In this way, the 偏 255 can block the medium Μ to perform the correcting function. Referring to Figure 4, the compression spring 11 is passed through the drive wheel 246 during the paper feed process.

For the splicing, please refer to FIG. S. When the correcting member 251 is rotated and fixed, the leading edge of the medium 抵达 reaches the clamping gap of the driving wheel 2 and the driven wheel. At this time, the restraining end 267 of the torsion spring 253 is just When the restraining portion 256 on the correcting member (5) is disengaged, the correcting member 251 continues to rotate with the driving wheel 246 under the action of the pressing spring 253. [Continued to refer to FIG. 7] Thus, the depressed portion on the correcting member 25丨The resistance of the leading edge of the 256 pairs of media disappears. At this time, the correcting member 25i is turned to the release position by the correcting position, and the driving wheel 246 and the driven wheel 247 are corrected. The correction gear is rotated. When the correcting member is rotated, the correcting member is rotated. (5) The upper restrained portion μ6 is stopped by the torsion spring 253 on the frame body 241, and the rotation is stopped, even if the free end of the correcting portion is just in the transport path, if the medium being transported is deflected And the corner of the feed leading edge first contacts the correcting portion 255 Profile planar design ® 2552. At this time, when the action medium medium and the rotating driving wheel are applied to the correcting member 251, the joint force is insufficient to cause the correcting member (5) to be in a non-rotating state against the elastic force of the torsion spring 253, but the medium is still in the feeding roller 22 Continue to feed under the action of 〇, so that the media 逐渐 will gradually form—f curved part, please refer to the figure $, until the groove of the medium Μ front edge is completely affixed to the correcting condition, then the deflection of the medium 达成 is achieved. After being corrected, the driving force of the medium Μ to the correcting condition is gradually increased, and the force of the driving wheel 246 on the correcting member 251 is also increased with the gradual deformation of the pressing spring, when the medium 主动 and the driving wheel 246 The transfer of the secondary enthalpy of the rectifying member 251 to the scanning unit 2 2009 12200924982 can also prevent the correcting member (5) from damaging the medium Μ. With the rectifying rotation, when the restraining portion 256 is again restrained by the restraining end 267 of the torsion spring, the correction function for the deflection of the next medium 开始 is started. Referring to Figures 8 and 9, the second embodiment of the present invention is different from the first embodiment in that the structure of the correcting member 2δ3 is the same, and the other portions are the same; the second embodiment is provided with three correcting members 283. Inhibitors, (9), (10), and respectively correspond to the three =, three correctives, when the pair of media Μ skewed,,, timing, the suppression part 100 withstand the torsion spring 253 suppression end At 267 hours, the correcting portion 11 corresponding to the suppressed 邛1〇〇 is just in the transmission path, and after the correction of the deviation of the ff Μ, the depressed portion (9) is supported by the torsion spring. The free end of the correcting portion (1) corresponding to the inhibiting end 267 and 3H of 253 is just in the transport path M3', so that the correction of the next medium skew is started. It is necessary to use the bamboo riding machine of the present (four) to apply to the sweeping machine. In the structure, the person 7 for the printer, automatic _, photocopying machine, etc. is used in the single-sided paper feeding mechanism. It is also in the double-sided feed mechanism.
