旋轉件10與掃描器之掀蓋固定連接,並且旋轉 件10隨掀蓋之開闔動作進行轉動。如第1B圖所示,旋轉件10包含一板11及自板11向外(如沿第1B圖所示的Z軸方向)延伸的一凸部12。旋轉件10的板11上開設有數個開孔13,旋轉件10即可利用螺絲穿過該等開孔13而與掃描器的掀蓋鎖固在一起。此外,旋轉件10之板11上另開設有連接孔14,旋轉件10之凸部12的下緣具有一第一抵靠面15,於凸部12上沿著與開孔13之開設方向(如Y軸方向)垂直的方向(如X軸方向)開設有至少一通孔16,這些部件的具體作用於後詳述。 The rotating member 10 is fixedly coupled to the cover of the scanner and rotated The piece 10 rotates with the opening action of the lid. As shown in Fig. 1B, the rotary member 10 includes a plate 11 and a convex portion 12 extending outward from the plate 11 (e.g., in the Z-axis direction shown in Fig. 1B). A plurality of openings 13 are defined in the plate 11 of the rotating member 10. The rotating member 10 can be screwed through the openings 13 to be locked with the cover of the scanner. In addition, the plate 11 of the rotating member 10 is further provided with a connecting hole 14 , and the lower edge of the convex portion 12 of the rotating member 10 has a first abutting surface 15 along the opening direction of the opening portion 13 ( At least one through hole 16 is opened in a vertical direction (such as the X-axis direction) in the Y-axis direction, and the specific effects of these components will be described in detail later.

The pivot member 21 is preferably an elongated bolt having a stop member 211 at one end and a thread 212 at the other end. The locking member 22 is preferably a nut that is adapted to the pivot member 21. End seal 28 is preferably an end seal that locks into thread 212 of pivot member 21.
旋轉連接件25具有一固定部251及自固定部251 延伸的一樞轉部252。旋轉連接件25之固定部251沿Y軸方向開設有數個開孔253及一連接孔254。在將旋轉件10與掃描器之掀蓋固定時,係先將旋轉連接件25之固定部251疊靠在旋轉件10之板11上,使旋轉連接件25之固定部251上的 開孔253與旋轉件10之板11上的開孔13重疊後,再利用螺絲穿過開孔253及13進行鎖固。也就是說,旋轉連接件25之固定部251是與旋轉件10一起鎖固在掃描器的掀蓋上。另外,旋轉件10與旋轉連接件25亦可透過旋轉件10上的連接孔14與旋轉連接件25之固定部251上的連接孔254,利用螺絲鎖固的方式進一步固定在一起。 The rotary connecting member 25 has a fixing portion 251 and a self-fixing portion 251 A pivoting portion 252 is extended. The fixing portion 251 of the rotary joint 25 is provided with a plurality of openings 253 and a connecting hole 254 in the Y-axis direction. When the rotating member 10 and the cover of the scanner are fixed, the fixing portion 251 of the rotary connecting member 25 is firstly folded on the plate 11 of the rotating member 10 so as to be fixed on the fixing portion 251 of the rotating connecting member 25. The opening 253 overlaps with the opening 13 in the plate 11 of the rotary member 10, and is then locked by the screws through the openings 253 and 13. That is, the fixing portion 251 of the rotary joint 25 is locked together with the rotary member 10 on the lid of the scanner. In addition, the rotating member 10 and the rotating connecting member 25 can also be further fixed by screwing through the connecting hole 14 in the rotating member 10 and the connecting hole 254 in the fixing portion 251 of the rotating connecting member 25.
如前所述,旋轉連接件25的樞轉部252係自固 定部251延伸而來,較佳地,旋轉連接件25的樞轉部252與固定部251係相互垂直,如第1B圖所示,固定部251位於XZ平面,而樞轉部252位於YZ平面。旋轉連接件25的樞轉部252開設有一穿孔255,而第一墊片23、第一彈片24、第二彈片26及第二墊片27均開設有孔洞。旋轉連接件25之樞轉部252的穿孔255以及第一墊片23、第一彈片24、第二彈片26和第二墊片27的孔洞係供樞轉元件21穿過。 As described above, the pivoting portion 252 of the rotary joint 25 is self-fixing. The fixed portion 251 extends. Preferably, the pivoting portion 252 of the rotary connecting member 25 and the fixing portion 251 are perpendicular to each other. As shown in FIG. 1B, the fixing portion 251 is located in the XZ plane, and the pivoting portion 252 is located in the YZ plane. . The pivoting portion 252 of the rotary connecting member 25 defines a through hole 255, and the first spacer 23, the first elastic piece 24, the second elastic piece 26 and the second spacer 27 are all provided with holes. The through holes 255 of the pivoting portion 252 of the rotary joint 25 and the holes of the first spacer 23, the first elastic piece 24, the second elastic piece 26, and the second spacer 27 are passed through by the pivoting member 21.
如第1B圖所示,基座30形成有一凹槽31,於 凹槽31之兩相對側形成有穿孔,如一第一穿孔32及一第二穿孔33。在進行絞鏈模組1之組裝時,樞軸元件21(如沿著X軸方向)依序穿過基座30之第一穿孔32、旋轉件10之凸部12上的通孔16、基座30之第二穿孔32、鎖固件22、第一墊片23、第一彈片24、旋轉連接件25之樞轉部252上的穿孔255、第二彈片26及第二墊片27,透過螺紋212而與端封 件28結合鎖緊,此時樞軸元件21的擋止件211抵靠在基座30之第一穿孔32的外側。 As shown in FIG. 1B, the base 30 is formed with a recess 31, The opposite sides of the groove 31 are formed with perforations, such as a first through hole 32 and a second through hole 33. When the assembly of the hinge module 1 is performed, the pivot member 21 (e.g., along the X-axis direction) sequentially passes through the first through hole 32 of the base 30, the through hole 16 in the convex portion 12 of the rotary member 10, and the base. The second through hole 32 of the seat 30, the locking member 22, the first spacer 23, the first elastic piece 24, the through hole 255 on the pivoting portion 252 of the rotary connecting member 25, the second elastic piece 26 and the second spacer 27 are threaded through the thread 212 and end seal The member 28 is combined with the locking, at which time the stop member 211 of the pivot member 21 abuts against the outside of the first perforation 32 of the base 30.
其中,第一墊片23設置於鎖固件22和第一彈片 24之間,第二墊片27設置於第二彈片26和端封件28之間,第一墊片23用以提供鎖固件22和第一彈片24之間作用力的緩衝,第二墊片27用以提供第二彈片26和端封件28之間作用力的緩衝。第一彈片24和第二彈片26設置成分別接觸旋轉連接件25之樞轉部252的兩相對側表面。較佳地,第一彈片24和第二彈片26可為如第6圖所示的具凹面(或凸面)的彈片,其在端封件28與樞軸元件21之螺紋212鎖緊時,可產生一定程度的形變,因此第一彈片24和第二彈片26可有效抵靠旋轉連接件25之樞轉部252的相對表面,從而可為樞轉部252提供穩定的摩擦力。 Wherein, the first spacer 23 is disposed on the locking member 22 and the first elastic piece Between the 24, the second spacer 27 is disposed between the second elastic piece 26 and the end seal 28, and the first spacer 23 is used to provide a buffer for the force between the locking member 22 and the first elastic piece 24, and the second spacer 27 is used to provide a cushioning force between the second elastic piece 26 and the end seal 28. The first elastic piece 24 and the second elastic piece 26 are disposed to contact the opposite side surfaces of the pivoting portion 252 of the rotary joint member 25, respectively. Preferably, the first elastic piece 24 and the second elastic piece 26 may be a concave (or convex) elastic piece as shown in FIG. 6 when the end seal 28 is locked with the thread 212 of the pivot member 21. A certain degree of deformation occurs, so that the first elastic piece 24 and the second elastic piece 26 can effectively abut against the opposite surfaces of the pivoting portion 252 of the rotary joint member 25, thereby providing a stable frictional force to the pivot portion 252.
當旋轉件10隨著掃描器之掀蓋被掀起時,因旋 轉件10之凸部12與樞軸元件21樞接,因此旋轉件10可沿著樞軸元件21之軸向進行轉動,進而帶動與旋轉件10固定連接之旋轉連接件25的固定部251,旋轉連接件25之樞轉部252也因而跟著沿樞軸元件21之軸向(如X軸方向)進行轉動,而當停止掀動掀蓋時,藉著樞轉部252與第一彈片24和第二彈片26之間的摩擦力支撐掃描器之掀蓋,即可使得掀蓋保持固定於某一角度。 When the rotating member 10 is picked up with the cover of the scanner, The convex portion 12 of the rotating member 10 is pivotally connected to the pivot member 21, so that the rotating member 10 can be rotated along the axial direction of the pivot member 21, thereby driving the fixing portion 251 of the rotary connecting member 25 fixedly coupled to the rotating member 10. The pivoting portion 252 of the rotary joint member 25 is thus also rotated in the axial direction (e.g., the X-axis direction) of the pivot member 21, and when the flap is stopped, the pivoting portion 252 and the first elastic piece 24 are The friction between the second shrapnel 26 supports the cover of the scanner so that the flip cover remains fixed at an angle.
在一具體實施例中,第一彈片24和第二彈片26 的材質可為鉻釩鋼(chrome vanadium steel),每一彈片的承重較佳為15.61公斤,這對一般為1~2公斤的掃描器掀蓋來說,即已足夠支撐掀蓋,使掀蓋與掃描面的夾角固定於某一角度。另外,因為力矩的關係,掀蓋與掃描面的夾角於小角度時,彈片24、26與樞轉部252間的摩擦力可能不易支撐掀蓋。在本發明的實施例中,在掀蓋與掃描面所夾之角度於30~90度間(較佳為於10~90度間)時,能夠在不需外力下支撐掀蓋,使其維持在掀開狀態。 In a specific embodiment, the first elastic piece 24 and the second elastic piece 26 The material can be chrome vanadium steel. The weight of each shrapnel is preferably 15.61 kg. This is enough for the scanner cover of 1~2 kg, which is enough to support the cover. The angle with the scanning surface is fixed at an angle. In addition, due to the moment, when the angle between the cover and the scanning surface is at a small angle, the friction between the elastic pieces 24, 26 and the pivoting portion 252 may not easily support the cover. In the embodiment of the present invention, when the angle between the cover and the scanning surface is between 30 and 90 degrees (preferably between 10 and 90 degrees), the cover can be supported without external force. In the open state.
雖然於上述說明中,是以樞軸元件21配合鎖固 件22及端封件28的方式將墊片23、27、彈片24、26和旋轉連接件25鎖緊結合到基座30,然而所屬技術領域中具有通常知識者可以理解本發明並不限於上述的結合方式,本發明亦可以其它結合方式實現。另外,本發明並不限於採用兩個墊片23、27及兩個彈片24、26,所屬技術領域中具有通常知識者可以理解本發明並不對元件的個數進行限定,只要該元件可以達成本發明說明所對應描述的功用即可。 Although in the above description, the pivot member 21 is used for locking The means 22 and the end seals 28 securely couple the spacers 23, 27, the springs 24, 26 and the rotary joint 25 to the base 30, although those of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate that the invention is not limited to the above. The combination of the present invention can also be implemented in other combinations. In addition, the present invention is not limited to the use of two spacers 23, 27 and two springs 24, 26. Those skilled in the art will understand that the present invention does not limit the number of components as long as the component can achieve this. The description of the corresponding description can be used.
另一方面,於絞鏈模組1組裝後,彈性件40和 彈性件支架50會(沿著X軸方向)收容於基座30所形成的凹槽31中。彈性件40較佳為彈簧,其數目不受限,如第1B圖所示,為了保持力的平衡,彈簧的數目較佳為兩個。彈性件支架50的下緣具有個數與彈簧個數相對應的結合件51,例 如兩個,其用以與彈性件(或彈簧)40結合,以穩定彈性件支架50與彈性件40間的作用力。彈性件支架50的上緣具有與旋轉件10之凸部12上的第一抵靠面15相配的一第二抵靠面52。較佳地,旋轉件10之凸部12上的第一抵靠面15以凸面實現,彈性件支架50上緣的第二抵靠面52為對應第一抵靠面15進行設計的凹面。 On the other hand, after the hinge module 1 is assembled, the elastic member 40 and The elastic member holder 50 is housed (along the X-axis direction) in the recess 31 formed by the base 30. The elastic member 40 is preferably a spring, and the number thereof is not limited. As shown in Fig. 1B, in order to maintain the balance of the force, the number of springs is preferably two. The lower edge of the elastic member bracket 50 has a number of coupling members 51 corresponding to the number of springs, for example For example, two are used in combination with the elastic member (or spring) 40 to stabilize the force between the elastic member bracket 50 and the elastic member 40. The upper edge of the elastic member holder 50 has a second abutment surface 52 that mates with the first abutment surface 15 on the convex portion 12 of the rotary member 10. Preferably, the first abutting surface 15 of the convex portion 12 of the rotating member 10 is realized by a convex surface, and the second abutting surface 52 of the upper edge of the elastic member bracket 50 is a concave surface corresponding to the first abutting surface 15 .
以下介紹本發明之掃描器的絞鏈模組的作動過 程。在掃描器之掀蓋進行閉合的過程中,例如在掃描器之掀蓋從掀起狀態到閉合狀態的過程中,掀蓋會帶動與其固定連接的旋轉件10,透過旋轉件10之凸部12與樞轉元件21之樞接,旋轉件10會沿著樞轉元件21之軸向(如X方向)進行轉動,此時旋轉件10之凸部12上的第一抵靠面15與彈性件支架50上緣的第二抵靠面15沿著相互遠離的方向進行移動,彈性件支架50向下移動,而彈性件(或彈簧)40因此被壓縮,其作用為可稍微支撐掃描器之掀蓋,使掀蓋較不會在蓋合時,因力量過大而與掃描平台產生過大之撞擊力。 The following describes the operation of the hinge module of the scanner of the present invention. Cheng. During the closing process of the cover of the scanner, for example, during the process of the cover of the scanner from the raised state to the closed state, the cover will drive the rotating member 10 fixedly connected thereto, through the convex portion 12 of the rotating member 10 and The pivoting member 21 is pivotally connected, and the rotating member 10 is rotated along the axial direction of the pivoting member 21 (such as the X direction). At this time, the first abutting surface 15 on the convex portion 12 of the rotating member 10 and the elastic member bracket The second abutment surface 15 of the upper edge 50 moves in a direction away from each other, the elastic member holder 50 moves downward, and the elastic member (or spring) 40 is thus compressed, which functions to slightly support the cover of the scanner. Therefore, when the cover is not covered, the impact force is too large to cause an excessive impact on the scanning platform.
在掃描器之掀蓋進行掀起的過程中,例如在掃描 器之掀蓋從閉合狀態到掀起狀態的過程中,掀蓋會帶動與其固定連接的旋轉件10,透過旋轉件10之凸部12與樞轉元件21之樞接,旋轉件10會沿著樞轉元件21之軸向(如X方向)進行轉動,此時旋轉件10之凸部12上的第一抵靠面15與彈性件支架50上緣的第二抵靠面15沿著相互接近的方向進行 移動,彈性件支架50向上移動,而彈性件(或彈簧)40伸長並釋放彈性能,使得掀蓋掀起更為省力。 During the process of picking up the cover of the scanner, such as scanning During the process of closing the cover from the closed state to the raised state, the flip cover will drive the rotating member 10 fixedly connected thereto, and the pivoting member 12 of the rotating member 10 is pivotally connected with the pivoting member 21, and the rotating member 10 will follow the pivot. The axial direction (such as the X direction) of the rotating member 21 is rotated. At this time, the first abutting surface 15 on the convex portion 12 of the rotating member 10 and the second abutting surface 15 of the upper edge of the elastic member bracket 50 are close to each other. Direction Moving, the elastic member holder 50 moves upward, and the elastic member (or spring) 40 elongates and releases the elastic energy, making the lid lift more labor-saving.
不管是在掀蓋從掀起狀態到閉合狀態的過程中 或是在掀蓋從閉合狀態到掀起狀態的過程中,在旋轉件10樞轉之同時,會帶動與其固定連接之旋轉連接件25的固定部251,而旋轉連接件25之樞轉部252也因此沿著樞軸元件21之軸向(如X軸方向)進行樞轉。當掀蓋處於某一角度而停止掀起或閉合掀蓋的動作時,旋轉連接件25之樞轉部252與彈片24、26之間的摩擦力可支撐掀蓋,使得掀蓋保持固定於某一角度。 Whether in the process of the cover from the pick-up state to the closed state Or in the process of the cover from the closed state to the lifted state, while the rotary member 10 is pivoted, the fixed portion 251 of the rotary connecting member 25 fixedly connected thereto is driven, and the pivoting portion 252 of the rotary connecting member 25 is also Therefore, pivoting is performed along the axial direction of the pivot member 21 (such as the X-axis direction). When the flip cover is at an angle to stop lifting or closing the flip cover, the friction between the pivoting portion 252 of the rotary link 25 and the elastic pieces 24, 26 can support the cover so that the cover remains fixed to a certain angle.
如第2圖所示,本發明之掃描器的絞鏈模組1安 裝在掃描器之掀蓋60上,絞鏈模組1之旋轉件10固定在掀蓋60之底面,採用之絞鏈模組1的數目較佳可為兩個,其可對稱地安裝在掀蓋60兩側。 As shown in Fig. 2, the hinge module 1 of the scanner of the present invention Mounted on the cover 60 of the scanner, the rotating member 10 of the hinge module 1 is fixed on the bottom surface of the cover 60. The number of the hinge modules 1 is preferably two, which can be symmetrically mounted on the top. Cover 60 sides.
本發明透過在旋轉連接件25之樞轉部252旁設 置彈片24、26,使其與樞轉部252之表面接觸以提供摩擦力,藉此摩擦力支撐掃描器之掀蓋,使掀蓋與掃描面的夾角可固定於某一角度,此功能可讓使用者在頻繁抽換紙件進行掃描時,無須將掀蓋完全掀起,或無須使用者用手撐住掀蓋,使得掃描多張紙件時更為方便、快速及省力。相對於習知可達成此功能的結構,本發明所提供之掃描器的絞鏈模組結構更為簡單,而且因應不同尺寸或類型的掃描器掀蓋,本發明只 需提供滿足其承重需求的彈片即可應用之,不像習知的絞鏈模組需視不同尺寸或類型的掀蓋重新進行設計,因此本發明可以有效降低製造成本。 The present invention is disposed adjacent to the pivoting portion 252 of the rotary joint 25 The spring pieces 24, 26 are placed in contact with the surface of the pivoting portion 252 to provide a frictional force, whereby the frictional force supports the cover of the scanner so that the angle between the cover and the scanning surface can be fixed at an angle. When the user frequently scans the paper for scanning, the user does not need to completely lift the lid, or the user does not need to hold the lid by hand, which makes the scanning of multiple sheets more convenient, quick and labor-saving. Compared with the conventional structure that can achieve this function, the structure of the hinge module of the scanner provided by the present invention is simpler, and the present invention only covers different sizes or types of scanner covers. The shrapnel that satisfies its load-bearing requirements can be applied. Unlike the conventional hinge module, which is redesigned according to different sizes or types of the cover, the present invention can effectively reduce the manufacturing cost.

請參閱第4圖,掃描器之掀蓋60與掃描平台73 之夾角θ較佳可為0~90度。在本發明的實施例中,當掀蓋60與掃描平台73之夾角θ為30~90度間(較佳為10~90度間)時,絞鏈模組1可支撐掀蓋60,使其保持掀開狀態,而不因掀蓋60之重力影響,回到閉合狀態。 Please refer to FIG. 4, the cover 60 of the scanner and the scanning platform 73. The angle θ is preferably from 0 to 90 degrees. In the embodiment of the present invention, when the angle θ between the flip cover 60 and the scanning platform 73 is between 30 and 90 degrees (preferably between 10 and 90 degrees), the hinge module 1 can support the cover 60 so that the cover 60 can be supported. Keep it open and not return to the closed state due to the gravity of the cover 60.
請參閱第5圖,當掃描一疊較厚之紙件80時, 掃描器之掀蓋60閉合或闔上的情況下,絞鏈模組1之基座30可沿掃描器底座70之凹槽711的側壁向上移動,使得掀蓋60與掃描平台73完全平行,此時掀蓋60能平均提供下壓紙件80之力量,讓紙件80完全被壓緊平貼在掃描面上,達到最佳之掃瞄狀態。本發明具有使掃描器之掀蓋70壓平紙件80之技術功效,能夠確實地將較厚之文件或書本緊壓貼平於掃描面上,故可克服習知技術中由於書本翹曲突起於掃描平台73之上而致使掃描出之影像或文字會有變形之問題,進而有效增進掃描器之掃描品質。 Please refer to Figure 5, when scanning a stack of thicker paper 80, In the case where the cover 60 of the scanner is closed or closed, the base 30 of the hinge module 1 can be moved upward along the side wall of the recess 711 of the scanner base 70 such that the cover 60 is completely parallel with the scanning platform 73. The cover 60 can provide the power of the lower paper pressing member 80 on average, so that the paper member 80 is completely pressed against the scanning surface to achieve an optimal scanning state. The invention has the technical effect of flattening the paper cover 80 of the scanner cover 70, and can reliably press the thicker document or the book to be pressed on the scanning surface, so that the conventional technique can be overcome The curved protrusions on the scanning platform 73 cause deformation of the scanned image or text, thereby effectively improving the scanning quality of the scanner.
