    摘要: The present invention relates to a paper feeding apparatus. The paper feeding apparatus includes: a main body configured such that a paper discharge outlet, a space, and a door are formed therein; a plurality of guide rails formed inside the main body in vertical directions; a plurality of guide rods formed inside the main body in vertical directions; a paper support plate formed in a plate shape so that paper is stacked and supported thereon, and configured such that a plurality of bushings, insertion grooves, and a multi-stage screw are formed in connection with the paper support plate; a power unit including a motor provided with a driving pulley, a driven pulley, and a chain configured to connect the driving pulley and the driven pulley; and a sensor configured to measure the weight of paper, and a controller configured to control the driving of the power unit.

    摘要: An image forming apparatus includes a paper feeding cassette, a first conveying unit, a lift mechanism, a motor, a second conveying unit, and a control unit. The controller drives the motor and, if a value indicating a movement amount of the tray moving from when the lift mechanism starts the lifting of the tray until when a position of the top part reaches a first position is a first value, matches a position of the first conveying unit, which comes into contact with the top part to thereby rise together with the tray, with a second position and, if the value indicating the movement amount is a second value larger than the first value, matches the position of the first conveying unit, which comes into contact with the top part to thereby rise together with the tray, with a third position lower than the second position.

    摘要: A sheet feeding cassette (21) includes a body part (31), a placement plate (33) disposed on a bottom plate (31a) of the body part (31), a shaft (61) extending along a width direction, a lift plate (35) configured to be turned around the shaft (61) to lift and lower a downstream end portion of the placement plate (33), and a pair of side cursors (37F, 37R). Both end portions of the shaft (61) are rotatably supported by the body part (41), outside in the width direction of the side cursors (37F, 37R) disposed at the most separate position. The side cursors (37F, 37R) each has an abutment wall (71F, 71R) abutting on a side surface of the sheet and a recess (79) externally fitted to the shaft (61) from above, and the recess (79) slides on the shaft (61) when the side cursors (37F, 37R) move in the width direction.

    摘要: The present invention is directed to a paper feed system. The paper feed system includes: a paper feed apparatus configured to accommodate stacked paper and sense a paper shortage state and a paper replenishment completion state; a communication unit provided to be integrated with or correspond to the paper feed apparatus, and configured to transmit a paper replenishment request signal when the paper feed apparatus senses a paper shortage state and transmit a paper replenishment completion signal when the paper feed apparatus senses a paper replenishment completion state; and a first server configured to communicate with the communication unit. When a change in the weight of stacked paper is detected, a paper support plate is elevated by driving a motor. When a situation in which the paper support plate reaches a set remaining amount height, a paper shortage state signal is transmitted to feed paper.
