Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a facsimile machine, and more particularly to a facsimile machine capable of withdrawing the main body of the apparatus from a storage section.

(Prior Art) FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing the above-mentioned conventional facsimile apparatus, in which 20 is a housing section, 21 is a facsimile apparatus main body that is slidable with respect to the housing section 20, and 22 is an apparatus main body 21. A power supply located inside the compartment inside the compartment 20 (on the left side of the figure), 23
Is a reading unit arranged on the front side (right side of the drawing) of the storage unit 20 inside the apparatus main body 21, 24 is a contact sensor of the reading unit 23, 25 and 26 are feed rollers, 27 is a motor, and 28 is a recording paper. Roll, 29 is a thermal head, 30 is a cutter, 31 is an operation part,
Reference numeral 32 is a printed circuit board for controlling the apparatus.

In the figure, at the time of transmission, the document G is read by the reading unit 23 sandwiched by the feed roller 25 and the contact sensor 24, and is discharged downward. At the time of reception, the thermal head 29 operates based on the received signal to record on the recording paper, and after the recording is completed, the cutter 30 cuts the recording paper roll 28 to an appropriate length, and the feed roller 26 transfers it to the outside. Is discharged.

The device body 21 can be pulled out from the storage portion 20 toward the front only when it is used, and can be stored inside the storage portion 20 when it is not used.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) In the above-described conventional technology, since the recorded recording paper is discharged to the outside of the storage section 20, confidentiality cannot be maintained, and the power supply 22 is located at the back side of the storage section 20. Since it is arranged in the above, there is a problem that heat from the power source 22 is likely to be trapped, the characteristics of the printed circuit board 32 may become unstable, and the heat-sensitive recording paper roll 28 may deteriorate.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a facsimile machine that can retain confidentiality and can be prevented from being adversely affected by heat.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention is a fax machine capable of pulling out the apparatus main body from a storage section. A document holding unit for holding the read document, a recording unit for recording on a recording sheet based on a received signal, and a recording sheet storage unit for storing the recording sheet recorded by the recording unit are provided on the front side of the apparatus main body. The reading unit and the document holding unit are arranged in the above, the recording unit and the recording paper storage unit are arranged in the back side, and the power supply unit is arranged in front of the recording paper storage unit.

(Operation) Since the above-mentioned means is adopted, the recorded recording paper is not stored in the recording paper storage section on the inner side of the storage section and is not carelessly output to the outside of the apparatus body, and the confidentiality of the received information is maintained. Further, the power supply unit is disposed on the front side of the storage unit and is exposed to the outside when the paper in the recording paper storage unit is taken out, so the heat from the power supply unit is released to the outside of the main body of the apparatus. It is easy to be

Embodiment An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of a facsimile machine of the present invention, in which 1 is a storage unit such as a desk, 2 is a main body of a facsimile which can slide with respect to the storage unit, and 3 is a main body of the apparatus. A storage section disposed inside the storage section 1 inside the storage section 1 (on the left side of the figure), 3a is an upper guide fixed to the storage section 1 to form the storage section 3, and 3b is fixed to the apparatus main body 2 for storage. Part 3
The lower guide 4 and the power source 5 are arranged on the front side (right side in the drawing) of the storage unit 1 inside the apparatus main body 2, and 5 is a roll made of heat-sensitive paper provided facing the storage unit 3. , 6 is a thermal head having a substrate 6a for holding a heating element, 7 is a document table, 8 is a contact sensor, 9 and 10 are feed rollers, 11 is a feed roller, 12 is a separation roller, 13 is a guide plate,
Reference numeral 14 is a holding plate provided in the middle of the guide plate 13, 15 is a recording section between the substrate 6a holding the heating element and the feed roller 9, and 16 is a reading section between the contact sensor 8 and the feed roller 10. is there.

In the figure, when a document is set on the document table 7 on the front side, the document is conveyed one by one by the paper feed roller 11 and the separation roller 12 and is read by the reading unit 16 line by line while the lower guide is provided. It is discharged to the outside of the apparatus main body 2 through the plate 13. When the document is ejected, the document is held by the holding plate 14 so that the document does not drop carelessly.

Further, upon reception, the recording unit 15 records each line on the roller 5 of the sheet based on the received signal, and the recorded sheet P is stored in the storage unit 3 on the left side. This storage unit 3 is the upper guide
The sheet 3a and the lower guide 3b are formed into a columnar shape, and the recorded sheet P is stored in a rolled state. As a result, the storage space can be reduced and the recorded paper P
It prevents the breakage of.

In order to take out the recorded paper P, the apparatus main body 2 is pulled out from the storage section 1 to the front and the storage section 3 is exposed to the outside as shown in the configuration diagram showing the operation state of FIG. Then, the edge of ceramic or the like, which is the base substrate of the substrate 6a holding the heating element, is used as a blade, and the sheet P can be cut by pulling it while hitting the edge upward.

As described above, in the present embodiment, since the recorded paper P is stored in the storage section 3 at the back of the storage section 1 such as a desk, confidentiality can be maintained. Further, since the power source 4 is arranged on the front side of the storage unit 1, the heat generated by the power source 4 is easily released to the outside, so that the heat is not accumulated inside the apparatus main body 2 and the heat is applied to the components. It is possible to prevent adverse effects and deterioration of the roll 5 of heat-sensitive paper.

The roll 5 is set by lifting the thermal head 6. Further, each operation is performed by an operation panel (not shown) provided on the storage section 1 or the original table 7.

(Advantages of the Invention) According to the present invention, the recorded recording paper is stored in the back side of the storage section, and the power source, which is a heat source, is arranged in the front side of the storage section. Since it is exposed to the outside, it is possible to provide a facsimile apparatus in which heat is not stored in the storage unit, the confidentiality of received information can be maintained, and heat can be prevented from adversely affecting the constituent members.
