Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a facsimile device, and more particularly to the arrangement of a document reading section and a received image recording section of a transceiver type facsimile device.

In facsimile machines, by devising the arrangement of the original reading section and the received image recording section,
The device can be made smaller and simpler.

As shown in FIG. 1, a conventional facsimile device has a document reading section 1 and a received image recording section 2 placed side by side in a case 3, and the document 4 is conveyed by rollers 5 in the direction of arrow A, and the optical system The roll recording paper 8 is conveyed in the direction of arrow B opposite to the conveyance of the original, recorded by the recording head 9, and cut by the cutter 10. The paper was configured to be discharged from a roller 11 onto a tray 12.

Therefore, the original 4 ejected from the original reading section 1
a tray 7 for storing recording paper 8 and a tray 12 for storing recording paper 8 discharged from the received image recording section 2.
have to be provided protrudingly from both sides of the case 3, which has the disadvantage of requiring additional dedicated space.

In order to avoid such drawbacks, a configuration is adopted in which the trays 7 and 12 are also housed in the case 3, as shown in the side view of FIG.

However, this configuration has the disadvantage that a dead space is created inside and the device itself becomes large.

Moreover, in the conventional configurations described above, the original reading section 1 and the received image recording section 2 are arranged side by side in each case, so the planar space of the facsimile device increases.
Furthermore, maintenance and inspection work such as replacing the recording paper roll or when a jam occurs is performed by lifting the top cover of the case 3, which has the drawback of making handling extremely complicated.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a compact and simple facsimile machine that requires less plane space and eliminates the drawbacks of the conventional apparatuses described above.

In order to achieve this object, the present invention is characterized in that the document reading section and the received image recording section are arranged above and below, and the received image recording section is configured to be able to be pulled out from the case.

The present invention will be described below with reference to embodiments.

FIG. 8 is a side view of the main parts of a facsimile machine showing an embodiment of the present invention, in which 13 is a document reading section;
4 is a received image recording section.

Since the document reading section 13 of this embodiment is equipped with a document separation mechanism, it is configured such that a large number of documents 16 can be stacked on the document mounting table 15 at one time.

When these original documents 16 are simultaneously moved in the direction of arrow D and set in the original separation mechanism, the detector 17 detects this and rotates the original transport rollers 18 and 19 via a drive source (not shown).

A presser plate 20 is pressed against the document transport roller 19, so even if two originals are taken out in a stack, the upper document is held down by the presser plate and is always separated and sent out one by one. .

The original sent out from the original transport roller 19 is
Furthermore, it is conveyed to a reading position by a conveyance roller 21 driven by a pulse motor (not shown).

This is detected by the detector 22, and the conveyance is temporarily stopped when the leading edge of the document reaches the reading position. The reading position is irradiated with illumination light from a light source 23, and an image is formed on a reading head 27 via an optical system including a target glass 24, a mirror 25, a condensing lens system 26, and the like. The image information read by the reading head 27 is subjected to processing such as binarization and data compression before being sent to the receiving side, and the conveyance roller 21 is intermittently conveyed according to the processing speed at this time. Ru. The document read in this manner is discharged from the conveyance roller 28 onto the tray 29.

On the other hand, the received image recording unit 14 records the recording paper roll 30.
is placed in the holder 31, the recording paper is pulled out by the platen roller 33 via the guide roller 32, the received image information is recorded by the recording head 34, and then cut by the cutter 35 and ejected. It is configured to be discharged from rollers 36 onto a tray 37.

The received image recording section 14 is formed into a unit, has a rail 38 fixed to its lower part, and is configured to be movable in the direction of arrow E along a guide rail 40 provided on a bottom plate 39 of the facsimile apparatus. Also,
The entire unitized received image recording section 14 is configured to be fixed to the apparatus by a lock mechanism 41.

Furthermore, the trays 29 and 37 for storing original documents and recording paper are detachable, and are configured so that they can be removed when moving the apparatus or for maintenance and inspection.

The facsimile apparatus of this embodiment is configured as described above, and includes a document reading section 13 and a received image recording section 14.
are arranged in two stages, upper and lower, so the planar space is reduced to less than half that of conventional devices.

Further, since the trays 29 and 37 are attached to the outside of the apparatus, no dead space is created inside the apparatus.
Furthermore, since the trays 29 and 37 are arranged in two stages, upper and lower, on the same side of the apparatus, the dedicated space required for them can be reduced to half that of the conventional case.

Further, maintenance and inspection work such as replacing the recording paper roll 30 or when a jam occurs can be performed by pulling out the entire received image recording unit 14 to the position shown by the dashed line, which greatly improves work efficiency.

After this maintenance and inspection work is completed, simply push the reception image recording unit 14 into the device, and the lock mechanism 4 will open.
1 to be fixed to the device.

As described above, according to the present invention, an extremely compact and simple facsimile device can be obtained.
