Abstract
A scanning apparatus includes a housing with a scan flatbed. A loading glass is installed at the scan flatbed of the housing for loading a to-be-scanned document. A photoelectric sensing device senses the light corresponding to the to-be-scanned document to generate electric signals. The electric signals are transmitted through a flat cable to a motherboard. The flat cable is designed to include a line peak so that the surface friction between the flat cable and the loading glass can be reduced to line friction. The flat cable can also be shifted near the sidewall of the housing and is inclined to the center of the housing so that the friction traces remained on the loading glass is outside the scan flatbed. Thus, the abrasion on the loading glass can be reduced and the quality of the scanning images can be improved.
Claims19
A scanning apparatus having a housing with a scan flatbed, a loading glass being installed at the scan flatbed for loading a to-be-scanned document, the scanning apparatus comprising:
- a photoelectric sensing device, disposed in the housing, for sensing a light signal corresponding to the to-be-scanned document to generate an electric signal;
- a circuit board, disposed in the housing, for receiving the electric signal;
- and
- a flat cable comprising a line peak, for connecting the photoelectric sensing device to the circuit board and transmitting the electric signal;
- wherein only the line peak of the flat cable touches the loading glass as the photoelectric sensing device is driven.
A scanning apparatus having a housing with a scan flatbed, wherein a loading glass is installed at the scan flatbed for loading a to-be-scanned document, the scanning apparatus comprising:
- a photoelectric sensing device, disposed in the housing, for sensing a light signal corresponding to the to-be-scanned document to generate an electric signal;
- a circuit board, disposed in the housing, for receiving the electric signal;
- and
- a flat cable having a first border and a second border, connecting the photoelectric sensing device to the circuit board for transmitting the electric signal, wherein the first border is higher than the second border;
- wherein only the first border of the flat cable touches the loading glass that is under a top of the housing and outside the scan flatbed as the photoelectric sensing device is driven.
