Therefore, the detection signal of the detection module 60 can be an ON/OFF signal, and in this embodiment, it can be designed. In order to send the OFF signal to the control module 62 when the switch unit is not triggered, the control module 62 can determine that the state of the paper roll 64 is in a normal state according to the OFF signal; and when the switch unit is When the triggering is performed, the ON signal is sent to the control module 62, and the control module 62 determines whether the usage state of the paper roll 64 is a low paper amount state or a depletion state according to the ON signal. As shown in Fig. 3, at this time, the diameter D of the paper roll 64 is smaller than a predetermined diameter value PD, so that the paper roll 64 pushes the end of the lever 56 in the first direction (+X direction) so that the lever 56 is provided. Pivoting about the pivot axis 561 and the other end of the lever 56 triggers the switch unit, and the switch unit transmits the switch unit The ON signal is sent to the control module 62, so that the control module 62 determines the usage state of the paper roll 64 as the low paper amount state according to the detection signal. The paper roll device 50 of the present invention may further comprise a paper amount notification module 66 electrically connected to the control module 62. The control module 62 is configured to determine when the usage state of the paper roll 64 is the low paper amount state. The control paper quantity notification module 66 issues a warning message to inform the user that the paper roll 64 is about to be used up. The paper volume notification module 66 can be a sound module, a light emitting module or a text message module, that is, the paper volume notification module 66 can remind the user of the paper roll 64 by emitting sound, light beam or text. It is about to be used up.
請參考第1圖至第4圖，第4圖為本發明另一實施例偵測模組60之示意圖。如第1圖至第3圖所示，本發明之紙捲裝置50可另包含有一儲存模組68，其係電連接於控制模組62，儲存模組68係用來儲存一組預設偵測值，另外如第4圖所示，偵測模組60可包含有一光發射器601以及一光接受器603，光發射器601係用來發射一連續光束，光接受器603係依據所接收由光發射器601所發射之光量產生相對應之該偵測訊號，且控制模組62會比對該組預設偵測值以及相對應之該偵測訊號，藉以決定紙捲64之該用量狀態。於此實施例中，光發射器601與光接受器603係設置於撥桿56之另一端之相對兩側，因此撥桿56之另一端係可遮蔽光發射器601所發射之光束，使得光接受器603沒有完全接受光發射器601所發出之光束，因此偵測模組60即可發送相對應之該偵測訊號至控制模組62。控制模組62係可比對該組預設偵測值以及該偵測訊號後決定紙捲64之該用量狀態。其中，該組預設偵測值可包含有一警示值AV1，且當控制模組62比對警示值AV1係對應於相對應之該偵測訊號時，控制模組62決定紙捲64之該用量狀態為該低紙量狀態。如第1圖至第3圖所示，紙捲64的直徑D會隨著紙量變少而逐漸變小，且當紙捲64之直徑D小於該預定直徑值PD時，紙捲64於第一方向(+X方向)推動撥桿56之該端，以使撥桿56繞樞轉軸561樞轉且撥桿56之另一端部分地遮蔽該連續光束，於是光接受器603發送相對應之偵測訊號DL至控制模 組62，且此時控制模組62比對該偵測訊號DL係對應於警示值AV1，因此控制模組62決定紙捲64之該用量狀態為該低紙量狀態。 Please refer to FIG. 1 to FIG. 4 .

The amount of light emitted by the light emitter 601 generates the corresponding detection signal, and the control module 62 determines the amount of the paper roll 64 by comparing the preset detection value with the corresponding detection signal. status. In this embodiment, the light emitter 601 and the light receiver 603 are disposed on opposite sides of the other end of the lever 56, so that the other end of the lever 56 shields the light beam emitted by the light emitter 601, so that the light The receiver 603 does not completely receive the light beam emitted by the light emitter 601, so the detection module 60 can send the corresponding detection signal to the control module 62. The control module 62 determines the usage status of the paper roll 64 after comparing the preset detection value with the detection signal. The preset detection value may include a warning value AV1, and when the control module 62 corresponds to the warning value AV1 corresponding to the corresponding detection signal, the control module 62 determines the usage of the paper roll 64. The status is the low paper amount status. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the diameter D of the paper roll 64 gradually becomes smaller as the amount of paper becomes smaller, and when the diameter D of the paper roll 64 is smaller than the predetermined diameter value PD, the paper roll 64 is first. The direction (+X direction) pushes the end of the lever 56 to pivot the lever 56 about the pivot axis 561 and the other end of the lever 56 partially shields the continuous beam, and the light receiver 603 transmits the corresponding detection. Signal DL to control mode The group 62, and at this time, the control module 62 corresponds to the warning value AV1 for the detection signal DL, so the control module 62 determines that the usage state of the paper roll 64 is the low paper amount state.
請參考第1圖至第3圖以及第5圖，第5圖為本發明另一實施例偵測模組60之示意圖。於此實施例中，光發射器601與光接受器603設置於撥桿56之另一端之同一側，而光發射器601會發射連續光束至撥桿56，且該連續光束的部分光束被反射後由光接受器603所接收。此外，儲存模組68之該組預設偵測值可包含有另一警示值AV2。如第1圖至第3圖所示，紙捲64的直徑D會隨著紙量變少而逐漸變小，且如第3圖所示，當紙捲64之直徑D小於預定直徑值PD時，紙捲64於第一方向(+X方向)推動撥桿56之該端，以使撥桿56繞樞轉軸561樞轉且撥桿56之另一端反射該連續光束之部分光束至光接受器603。接著光接受器603即發送相對應之該偵測訊號至控制模組62，且控制模組62比對該組預設偵測值之警示值AV2係對應於相對應之該偵測訊號後，控制模組62決定紙捲64之該用量狀態為該低紙量狀態。 Please refer to FIG. 1 to FIG. 3 and FIG. 5 . FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram of a detection module 60 according to another embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the light emitter 601 and the light receiver 603 are disposed on the same side of the other end of the lever 56, and the light emitter 601 emits a continuous beam to the lever 56, and a part of the beam of the continuous beam is reflected. It is then received by the light receiver 603. In addition, the set of preset detection values of the storage module 68 may include another warning value AV2. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the diameter D of the paper roll 64 gradually becomes smaller as the amount of paper becomes smaller, and as shown in FIG. 3, when the diameter D of the paper roll 64 is smaller than the predetermined diameter value PD, The paper roll 64 pushes the end of the lever 56 in the first direction (+X direction) to pivot the lever 56 about the pivot axis 561 and the other end of the lever 56 reflects a portion of the beam of the continuous beam to the light receiver 603 . Then, the optical receiver 603 sends the corresponding detection signal to the control module 62, and the control module 62 corresponds to the corresponding detection signal after the warning value AV2 of the preset detection value is The control module 62 determines that the usage state of the paper roll 64 is the low paper amount state.
本發明之偵測模組60不限於第4圖之遮斷式偵測器或是第5圖之反射式偵測器，只要是能夠偵測撥桿56之另一端之位置變化之偵測器皆屬於本發明保護之範疇。此外，由於第4圖以及第5圖所發出之該偵測訊號係對應接收光量之變化而為連續的類比訊號，意即其係對應於撥桿56之連續性的位置變化，而連續的該偵測訊號傳送至控制模組62後可轉換成相對應之數位訊號，接著控制模組62才將相對應數位訊號與儲存模組68之該組預設偵測值進行比對，故其可有效地反應出紙捲64所剩餘紙量之連續變化。此外，於此二實施例中，紙捲裝置50亦可包含有紙量通知模組66，其係電連接於控制模組62，控制模組62係根據用量狀態控制紙量通知模組66發出相對應之通知訊息，以通知使用者紙捲64之該用量狀態。舉例來說，控制模組62可 將該偵測訊號轉成相對應之數位訊號，再根據數位訊號控制紙量通知模組66顯示目前紙捲64所剩餘紙量之百分比，使用者即可得知目前紙捲64之用量。 The detection module 60 of the present invention is not limited to the occlusion detector of FIG. 4 or the reflective detector of FIG. 5, as long as it is a detector capable of detecting the position change of the other end of the lever 56. All belong to the scope of protection of the present invention. In addition, since the detection signals emitted in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 are continuous analog signals corresponding to changes in the amount of received light, that is, they correspond to the change in position of the continuity of the lever 56, and the continuous The detection signal is transmitted to the control module 62 and converted into a corresponding digital signal. Then, the control module 62 compares the corresponding digital signal with the preset detection value of the storage module 68, so that The continuous change in the amount of paper remaining in the paper roll 64 is effectively reflected. In addition, in the second embodiment, the paper roll device 50 may further include a paper amount notification module 66 electrically connected to the control module 62. The control module 62 controls the paper amount notification module 66 according to the usage state. Corresponding notification message to inform the user of the usage status of the paper roll 64. For example, the control module 62 can The detection signal is converted into a corresponding digital signal, and the paper quantity control module 66 is displayed according to the digital signal to display the percentage of the paper amount remaining in the current paper roll 64, and the user can know the current usage of the paper roll 64.
相較於先前技術，本發明紙捲裝置係設置一可樞轉之撥桿，且紙捲係抵接於撥桿之該端，紙捲會於使用後逐漸推動撥桿之該端，使撥桿之另一端相對移動，而設置於撥桿之另一端之偵測模組會偵測撥桿之另一端之移動並發送相對應之該偵測訊號至控制模組，控制模組即可比對該偵測訊號是否對應於該警示值來決定紙捲之該用量狀態為該低紙量狀態。因此解決了先前技術中，傳統的紙捲裝置無法提早且主動告知使用者紙捲用量或紙捲即將用完之資訊之問題。 Compared with the prior art, the paper roll device of the present invention is provided with a pivotable lever, and the paper roll is abutted on the end of the lever, and the paper roll gradually pushes the end of the lever after use, so as to dial The other end of the lever is relatively moved, and the detecting module disposed at the other end of the lever detects the movement of the other end of the lever and transmits the corresponding detection signal to the control module, and the control module can be compared. Whether the detection signal corresponds to the warning value determines that the usage state of the paper roll is the low paper amount state. Therefore, the problem that the conventional paper roll device cannot advance and actively inform the user of the amount of paper roll or the paper roll to be used is solved in the prior art.
