Abstract: A foldable baffle structure is mounted to a tray of a scanner or a printer. The foldable baffle structure includes two limiting components mounted to the tray. Each limiting component includes a sliding element, a stopping element, a guiding element and a pivoting element. Middles of the two sliding elements of the two limiting components have two accommodating spaces penetrating through top surfaces and bottom surfaces of the two sliding elements. The two stopping elements of the two limiting components are mounted in the accommodating spaces of the two limiting components. A middle of one end surface of the stopping element protrudes outward to form a pivoting portion. The guiding element is mounted around an outside of the pivoting portion. The pivoting element is pivotally disposed in the stopping element.

Abstract: A feeding roller structure includes a fastening frame, a transmission component, a transmission roller and a floating coupler. The transmission component is assembled in the fastening frame. The transmission component includes a drive shaft mounted on two sides of the fastening frame. The transmission roller is concentrically arranged around the drive shaft. The floating coupler is mounted to the fastening frame. The floating coupler is coupled between the drive shaft and the transmission roller. Two opposite ends of the floating coupler are adjacent to and spaced from the two sides of the fastening frame to form two gaps. Each gap is formed between one end of the floating coupler and one side of the fastening frame. The two gaps limit an angular displacement of the floating coupler.

Abstract: A portable scanner includes a housing, a transmitting path, a scanning unit and a transmission module. The transmitting path longitudinally penetrates through two opposite sides of the housing. One side of the transmitting path forms a first channel, and the other side of the transmitting path forms a second channel. The scanning unit is arranged in the transmitting path and partially projects into the first channel. The transmission module is arranged in the transmitting path and partially projects into the first channel. The transmission module is in contact with the scanning unit. The transmission module includes a transmission roller. The scanning unit and the transmission roller are disposed to two facing sides of the transmitting path along an up-down direction. The scanning unit is disposed on and contacts with the transmission roller in the transmitting path.

Abstract: A paper pickup mechanism includes a mechanical frame, a pickup roller module, a feeding roller module, a driving device, a separation roller module and an energy storage element. The mechanical frame has a platform. The pickup roller module is pivoted to and connected to the mechanical frame. The feeding roller module is pivoted to and connected to the mechanical frame. The driving device is mounted to the mechanical frame. The separation roller module is pivoted to and connected to the mechanical frame. The energy storage element is mounted between the mechanical frame and the separation roller module. When the separation roller module rotates together with the feeding roller module in a forward direction, the energy storage element accumulates energies. When more than one piece of paper is fed into the paper pickup mechanism, the energy storage element releases the energies.
