Abstract
A media conveying mechanism located in a media data recorder for conveying media mainly includes a driving motor to provide driving power needed. A first clutch to control the operation of a pickup roller. A second clutch to control rotation direction of an intermediate roller, a sensor to detect the conveying process of the media and control the operation of the second clutch. By deploying the two clutches, conveying quantity of the media in a unit time period can be effectively improved.

A media conveying mechanism installed in a media data recorder for conveying a selected number of media, comprising:
- a driving motor which provides driving power required for operation of the mechanism;
- a pickup roller located on a start location of a media conveying path of the mechanism to pick up the media;
- a first clutch coupled to the pickup roller, and being coupled to the driving motor via at least one driving gear, and being located on the media conveying path for controlling an operation of the pickup roller;
- an intermediate roller located on the media conveying path for moving the media;
- a second clutch coupled to the intermediate roller, and being coupled to the driving motor via the at least one driving gear for controlling an operation of the intermediate roller;
- a sensor located on the media conveying path for controlling an operation of the second clutch;
- and
- a delivery roller located on a distal end of the media conveying path for discharging the media outside the mechanism.
