MEDIUM CONVEYING DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240239623 titled 'MEDIUM CONVEYING DEVICE
The patent application describes a medium conveying device that can accommodate multiple types of media and includes various rollers and a power transmission mechanism.
- The device includes a pickup roller, a retard roller, a separation roller, and a conveyance roller.
- A drive source generates power to rotate the rollers, while a power transmission mechanism transmits power to the pickup roller and the separation roller.
- A transmission interruption mechanism interrupts power transmission to the pickup roller while power is being transmitted to the separation roller.
- The interruption occurs after the pickup roller conveys the trailing end of the first medium in a conveying direction.
Potential Applications: - Printing industry for paper handling - Packaging industry for material conveyance - Manufacturing industry for product sorting
Problems Solved: - Efficient handling of different types of media - Prevents jams and misfeeds in the conveying process
Benefits: - Improved reliability in media handling - Reduced downtime due to jams - Enhanced productivity in media processing tasks
Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Media Conveying Device for Industrial Use This technology can be utilized in printing presses, packaging lines, and manufacturing facilities to streamline media handling processes, leading to increased efficiency and reduced operational disruptions.
Prior Art: Readers can explore prior patents related to media conveying devices in the printing and packaging industries to understand the evolution of such technologies.
Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on advancements in media handling technologies in the industrial sector to leverage the latest innovations for improved efficiency and productivity.
Questions about the Advanced Media Conveying Device: 1. How does the transmission interruption mechanism enhance the device's performance? The interruption mechanism ensures smooth transitions between different types of media, reducing the risk of jams and improving overall reliability. 2. What are the key differences between this device and traditional media conveying systems? This device offers enhanced control and flexibility in handling various types of media, making it suitable for diverse industrial applications.
Original Abstract Submitted
a medium conveying device includes an accommodation unit that accommodates a plurality of media including a first medium and a second medium, a pickup roller, a retard roller, a separation roller, a conveyance roller, a drive source that generates power to rotate the rollers, a power transmission mechanism that transmits power to the pickup roller and the separation roller, and a transmission interruption mechanism that interrupts transmission of power to the pickup roller during transmission of power to the separation roller. the transmission interruption mechanism is configured to interrupt the transmission of power to the pickup roller after the pickup roller conveys the trailing end of the first medium in a conveying direction.
