Image scanning device

摘要

An image scanning device includes a scanning unit configured to scan, at a scanning position, an image of a document, a first discharge portion, a second discharge portion, a conveying unit configured to selectively convey the document along a first conveying path from the scanning position to the first discharge portion, and along a second conveying path from the scanning position to the second discharge portion, a driving unit configured to generate a driving force for driving the conveying unit, and a cover member configured to receive the driving force generated by the driving unit such that the cover member moves between a closed position for covering the second discharge portion and an open position for exposing the second discharge portion.

1. An image scanning device comprising:
a scanning unit configured to scan, at a scanning position, a document to read an image of the document; a first discharge portion; a second discharge portion; a motor configured to generate a driving force; a document conveying unit configured to convey the document scanned by the scanning unit along a first conveying path from the scanning position to the first discharge portion, and along a second conveying path from the scanning position to the second discharge portion; a cover member configured to move between a closed position for covering the second discharge portion and an open position for exposing the second discharge portion; and a drive transmitting mechanism including gears configured to be set selectively in a first state in which the drive transmitting mechanism transmits, through the gears, the driving force of the motor to the document conveying unit and not to the cover member, and in a second state in which the drive transmitting mechanism transmits, through the gears, the driving force of the motor to the cover member and not to the document conveying unit, wherein the motor is configured to rotate in a first direction and in a second direction opposite to the first direction, and the gears of the drive transmitting mechanism are configured to be set in the first state and in the second state in response to the motor rotating in the first direction and the second direction, respectively.
