Abstract

Provided is a medium process apparatus. The medium process apparatus comprises a support device configured to support a medium that is being transferred, and a plurality of detecting units configured to detect a state of the medium. The plurality of detecting units are arranged at regular intervals, and each of the plurality of detecting units comprises a detecting lever and a detecting sensor configured to output a signal according to a movement of the detecting lever. If the medium is divided into uniform regions arranged in a direction perpendicular to a transfer direction of the medium, the detecting units detect states of corresponding regions of the medium.

Claims (33)

1. A medium process apparatus comprising:

a support device configured to support a medium that is being transferred; and

a plurality of detecting units configured to detect a state of the medium,

wherein the detecting units are arranged at regular intervals, and each of the plurality of detecting units comprises a detecting lever and a detecting sensor configured to output a signal according to a movement of the detecting lever,

wherein if the medium is divided into uniform regions arranged in a direction perpendicular to a transfer direction of the medium, the detecting units detect states of corresponding regions of the medium, and

wherein each of the plurality of detecting units further comprises:

a plurality of rollers;

a roller shaft configured to support the plurality of rollers; and

an adjustment part configured to adjust a position of the roller shaft,

wherein the adjustment part presses the roller shaft in a direction crossing an extending direction of the roller shaft.

2. The medium process apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of detecting units comprise a first detecting unit, a second detecting unit, and at least one third detecting units between the first and second detecting units.

3. The medium process apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising a lever shaft inserted through the detecting levers of the plurality of detecting units.

4. The medium process apparatus of claim 3 , further comprising first movement restriction members coupled to the detecting levers and the lever shaft so as to inhibit the detecting levers from moving in an extending direction of the lever shaft.

5. The medium process apparatus of claim 4 , further comprising second movement restriction members configured to apply elastic forces to the detecting levers so as to inhibit the detecting levers from moving in the extending direction of the lever shaft.

6. The medium process apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the detecting levers comprise protrusions, respectively, and the second movement restriction members are connected between the protrusions and the first movement restriction members, respectively.

7. The medium process apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the adjustment part is rotatable, and a pressing force applied from the adjustment part to the roller shaft is varied according to a rotation amount of the adjustment part.

8. The medium process apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the support device comprises a plurality of first rollers and a roller shaft by which the plurality of first rollers are rotatably supported,

wherein the number of the detecting units is equal to the number of the plurality of first rollers.

9. The medium process apparatus of claim 8 , wherein each of the plurality of detecting units further comprises a plurality of second rollers contactable with the plurality of first rollers.

10. A medium process apparatus comprising:

a support device comprising a plurality of rollers to support a medium that is being transferred; and

a plurality of detecting units configured to detect a state of the medium,

wherein the number of the plurality of detecting units is equal to the number of the plurality of the rollers,

the plurality of detecting units are arranged at regular intervals, and

the plurality of detecting units comprise detecting levers, detecting sensors configured to output signals according to movements of the detecting levers, and a lever shaft inserted through the detecting levers;

a fixing pin coupled to at least one of the detecting levers and the lever shaft so as to prevent the at least one of the detecting levers from moving in an extending direction of the lever shaft; and

an elastic member connected to the fixing pin to apply elastic forces to the at least one of the detecting levers so as to prevent the at least one of the detecting levers from moving in the direction of the lever shaft.

11. The medium process apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the fixing pin is coupled to the lever shaft after passing through the at least one of the detecting levers.

12. The medium process apparatus of claim 10 , wherein each of the plurality of detecting units comprises:

a plurality of rollers;

a roller shaft configured to support the plurality of rollers; and

an adjustment part configured to adjust a position of the roller shaft.

13. The medium process apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the adjustment part presses the roller shaft in a direction crossing an extending direction of the roller shaft.
