DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a facsimile machine.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Facsimile apparatuses capable of transmitting documents and drawings as image data via public lines and the like are now widely used for business use. It is becoming.

A standard configuration of a facsimile apparatus is functionally composed of a document image reading section for document transmission, an image recording section for recording a received image, and a facsimile number inputting destination and a telephone call. Telephone unit.

FIG. 2 shows the appearance of a typical conventional facsimile machine.

In the facsimile apparatus shown in FIG. 1, when transmitting a document, the document is placed on the document feed tray 2 with the transmitting side of the document facing down, and a destination facsimile number is input by the operation unit 6 to give a transmission instruction. . Then, only one document is taken in, passed over the reading line sensor, and discharged onto the document discharge tray 4 (which is folded inward in the figure, but is opened to the measure side when used). In this way, the document images are sequentially transmitted one by one.

On the other hand, at the time of reception, usually, it automatically operates to record the received image on a built-in thermosensitive roll paper with heat.
The recorded paper is cut and discharged onto a recording paper discharge tray 8.

[0007]

The above-mentioned conventional facsimile apparatus has the following problems.

First, regarding the reading of the original at the time of transmission, the original to be transmitted is limited to sheet-like paper, and it has not been possible to directly transmit one page of a book-type original (ie, book). In that case, after copying the page with a copier,
A procedure of sending the copy manuscript to a facsimile machine was necessary, and the labor and cost of copying were wasted.

[0009] Next, as a problem related to the recording of the received image, since the heat-sensitive roll paper is used for recording the received image, the recorded paper is easily discolored over time and is not suitable for long-term storage, and writing with a pencil is difficult. . Also, as the roll paper approaches the end, the discharged paper curls,
Handling was cumbersome. In addition, because the roll paper used is wide for large-size paper, a margin is created on the side of the recorded paper for normal-size originals, and the margin is cut off for storage or copying. In this sense, handling was inconvenient.

In addition, since the document feed tray 2 and the recording paper discharge tray 8 protrude from the facsimile main body to the outside of the facsimile apparatus as a whole, a large installation space is required for the size of the main body. There was also.

In addition, a large number of operation keys (operation switches) including operation keys which are not normally required are arranged on the operation unit. Was not always easy to use.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of a facsimile apparatus according to the present invention will be described below in detail.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing the external appearance of a first embodiment of the facsimile apparatus of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1, the facsimile apparatus according to the present embodiment includes a document cover 11 for covering a document to be transmitted, an upper body 1 having a document reading mechanism, an image recording mechanism, and the like.
2 and a lower body portion 13 containing a recording paper cassette 20, a recording paper transport mechanism, an ink film cartridge and the like.

As shown in FIG. 3, the original cover 11 opens and closes around the rear long side of the main body upper part 12 as a rotation axis, and its upper surface shape is convexly curved about an axis parallel to the longitudinal direction. doing. The original is placed on the original reading surface (glass) 19 with the transmission surface facing down. As shown in FIG. 4, a notch 10 is provided near the rotation axis so that a thick book document can be handled, and the cut 10 can be bent in an inverted L-shape. Since the upper surface shape of the original stripe cover 11 is curved as described above, when the user applies pressure to the center of the book original from above the original cover 11 and the original cover 11 is flat. In comparison, the pressure is more evenly distributed throughout. Further, the structural strength against the pressure applied to the document cover 11 from above also increases.

In this embodiment, the long side of the main body is set to the front of the apparatus. However, the short side may be set to the front. Also, regardless of which side is the front, the document cover 11
May be provided on the short side.

In the present embodiment, a start switch 17 for giving a facsimile transmission instruction (or a copy instruction), a display section 16 for the number of transmission / reception sheets, a stop switch 18, A memory transmission switch 14 and a reception / registration switch 15 are arranged. These switches are normally operated with the document cover closed. That is, the memory transmission switch 14 is for temporarily storing image data to be transmitted in a built-in storage device (not shown), and then reading and transmitting the contents of the storage device. Receive /
When the registration switch 15 switches to facsimile reception when facsimile transmission is received from the outside by a telephone,
Alternatively, the switch is pressed when reading the telephone number of the other party on the OCR sheet or setting an internal state (for example, a clock). The stop switch 18 is a switch that is pressed to interrupt or stop transmission. In the present embodiment, only the switches 14 to 18 are in the field of view during the transmission operation (or at the time of copying) with the document cover 11 closed, and there is no fear of being confused by a large number of operation switches as in the related art. Other switches, for example, switches for setting the reading resolution, density, and enlargement / reduction ratio at the time of copying are arranged below the document cover 11.

Note that the type and number of switches arranged outside the document cover 11 can vary depending on the type and function of the facsimile machine. For example, a model that does not have a storage device for image data does not have a memory transmission switch.

The recording paper for recording the received image is a cut sheet of plain paper, and a plurality of sheets are stored in the recording paper cassette 20. The short section of the recording paper cassette 20 has a lower portion 1 of the main body.
3 so that the lower end of the main body 13
Is stored in the opening 21 provided on the side surface of the. Although the opening 21 is provided on the short side of the main body lower part 13 in this embodiment, it may be provided on the long side.

The facsimile apparatus is not provided with a receiver, but can be connected to an existing telephone, and the destination number can be input using the telephone. Further, there is no document feed tray and recording paper discharge tray protruding to the outside as in the conventional apparatus.

FIG. 5 shows the internal configuration of the facsimile apparatus viewed from the front.

The reading optical system serving as the reading head 25 is usually located below one end of the document reading surface 19 in the upper body 12 and is fixed by the operation of the reading head driving means 29 when scanning a document. It moves along the lower portion of the document reading surface 19 toward the other end at a speed. The reading optical system constituting the reading head 25 includes an LED array 27 as a light emitting element, a mirror and a lens for transmitting and reflecting an original image illuminated by the LED array 27, and forms a linear image via the mirror and lens. And a CCD array 28. The read head driving means 29 includes a drive belt 30 coupled to the read head 27, and a drive motor (not shown) for driving the belt 30 to rotate. Read head 25
Is not limited to the illustrated optical system, and may be a known contact-type image sensor.

When transmitting an original, the original is first placed on the original placing surface 19 with the transmission side facing down, and a destination number is input by a telephone to input a destination number to the destination facsimile machine. Establish communication line connection. So, start button 17
When (FIG. 1) is pressed, the reading head 25 starts scanning, and sequentially transmits the read image signals to the communication line. Thereafter, if the next document is placed within a predetermined time (for example, 12 seconds) and the start button 17 is pressed again, the document can be continuously transmitted without disconnecting the line. The operation of returning the read head 25 to the initial position is automatically performed within this time. Therefore, even in the case of a book-type document, the page turning can be performed within this time. Each time one document is transmitted, the number of transmissions displayed on the display unit 16 is incremented. If the next start button is not pressed within a certain time, or if the stop switch 18 is not pressed within that time, the line connection is cut off.

It should be noted that the user may be notified within the above-mentioned predetermined time period by sounding a reminder sound, for example, "beep ..." indicating that continuous transmission is possible. Further, it is also possible to set the number of transmissions in advance, decrement the display number sequentially from the set number, and disconnect the line connection when the number reaches “0”.

In addition, the main body upper part 12 has a main body lower part 13
A recording head 32 exposed toward the recording head 32
And a head roller 68 opposed thereto . In this embodiment, since the thermal transfer type recording is adopted, the recording head 32 is used.

The upper part 12 of the main body is rotatably supported at the fulcrum 34 with respect to the lower part 13 of the main body.
Can be opened upward.

The image recording mechanism employs a thermal transfer system in this embodiment, but may employ another system such as an ink jet system or a dot impact system as long as it can record on plain paper.

FIG. 6 shows the appearance of the recording paper cassette 20.

The recording paper cassette 20 is roughly divided into a cassette body 64 for storing cut sheets and a cassette cover 52. The cassette cover 52 also serves as a paper discharge tray on which recording paper is discharged after recording. The cassette cover 52 has an inclined portion 5 inclined upward in the recording paper take-out direction.
One. Further, on the surface of the cassette cover 52, there are provided several thin ridges 61 extending along the sheet discharging direction. At one end of the cassette 20, there is provided a handle 63 having a recess formed at the lower portion of the cassette body 64, and at the opposite side to the handle 63, a lift plate member 56 for lifting the front end of the recording paper is provided. At the front end of the cassette 20, a projecting member 58 described later is provided.
Is protruding. Further, two sets of magnets 59 are arranged on both sides of the front end of the cassette 20. On the other hand, the lower portion 13 of the main body of the facsimile apparatus has a magnetic body (not shown) which is magnetically coupled to the magnet 59 at a position where the recording paper cassette 20 comes into contact when the recording paper cassette 20 is completely mounted. In addition, lower part 1 of the main body
A magnet may be provided on the third side, or both may be magnets.

The recording paper cassette 20 can be configured such that the holding portion and the like are changed in accordance with recording papers of a plurality of sizes, or separate cassettes are prepared for each size.

FIG. 7 is a side sectional view of a main part of the recording paper cassette 20.

The lift plate-like member 56 is rotatably supported at its rear end by a fulcrum 53, and is always urged upward by a spring 54 provided below. The lift plate-shaped member 56 integrally has an L-shaped engagement piece 55 at its lower part. On the other hand, the protruding member 58 described above
An engagement hole 57 for engaging with the engagement piece 55 is provided below the engagement piece 55, and is urged forward (in the cassette insertion direction) by a spring 62. The wall surface of the engagement hole 57 on the spring 62 side is inclined so as to become deeper as it goes forward. The recording paper is stored in the cassette 20, and the lift
Is pushed down, the tip of the engagement piece 55 slides on the slope of the engagement hole 57 and moves the protruding member 60 inward against the repulsive force of the spring 62. Finally,
When the distal end of the engaging piece 55 passes through the engaging hole 57, the projecting member 60 slightly advances, and the distal end of the engaging piece 55
Engage with 0. Thereby, the plate member for lift 56 is in a state of being hooked to the lower side. Thus, when the recording paper cassette 20 containing the recording paper is inserted into the facsimile main body opening and completely stored, the tip end 60 of the protruding member 58 comes into contact with the facsimile main body and is pushed back. Thus, the engagement state of the engagement piece 55 is released, and the lift plate-like member 56 is lifted upward by the force of the spring 54. At this point, as described above, the two attract each other by magnetic force, and this state is maintained until an external force acts. In this way, the uppermost recording sheet can be supplied to the recording sheet transport unit regardless of the number of recording sheets.

Conventionally, in a printer, a copying machine, or the like, a recording paper cassette is mounted in a state of protruding from the main body to the outside, and a recording paper cassette is lifted by the principle of leverage. Thus, the present invention cannot be applied to the case of the present invention in which the cassette insertion port is narrow and the entire cassette is completely housed. Further, there is also known a structure in which a leaf spring is provided in the apparatus, a recording paper cassette is strongly inserted, and the recording paper cassette is pushed up from the opening provided in the lower part of the cassette by the leaf spring. In the case of the present invention to be housed, there is a problem in strongly inserting. On the other hand, according to the structure of the present invention, a strong force is not required for inserting the cassette, and the leading end of the recording paper can be reliably lifted.
That is, the recording paper cassette according to the present invention is most suitable for a facsimile apparatus as shown in FIG.

Next, with reference to FIG. 8, the process from when the recording paper is taken out of the cassette 20, recorded by the recording head 32, and discharged onto the cassette cover 52 will be described.

Whether or not the recording paper 48 is stored in the recording paper cassette 20 is detected by a recording paper presence / absence sensor 49.
If the recording paper is not stored, the user is notified by an appropriate method. Further, a sensor 37 for detecting the upper part 12 of the main body is provided so as not to operate when the upper part 12 of the main body is opened upward. When recording a received image or copying an original, one sheet of recording paper from the cassette 20 is picked up by a feed roller 66. In order to avoid double feeding, a rubber 4
7 is attached. The picked-up recording paper is brought into close contact with a feed roller 66 by a recording paper holder 44 having a sponge 45 attached to the leading end, and is transported toward the recording head 32 by guides 41 and 42. The recording paper sensor 40 provided in front of the recording head 32 detects that the recording paper has arrived immediately before the recording head 32, and takes a timing for recording. Subsequently, as indicated by reference numeral 50, the recording paper passes between the recording head 32 and the head roller 68, and during that, the ink film 33 according to the image signal.
Is transferred to the recording paper surface. The recorded paper is discharged onto a cassette cover 52 also serving as a paper discharge tray by the operation of the guide 39 and the rollers. As shown in the figure, the discharge position of the recording paper to the recording paper cassette 20 is set in advance so that the leading end of the discharged paper slightly protrudes from the end of the cassette 20 (that is, from the opening).

With the configuration in which the leading end of the recorded paper pops out,
Even in the case of the present embodiment in which the discharge tray is completely included in the apparatus, it can be easily recognized that facsimile reception has been performed. In addition, the sheet can be easily taken out. In this embodiment, since the recording head 32 is installed facing downward, the recording surface of the recorded paper is discharged face up. Information such as communication date / time and address is recorded at the leading end of the recorded paper that has been received by facsimile. If the leading end of the recording paper is protruding, there is an advantage that the portion can be recognized without being taken out.

FIG. 9 shows a driving mechanism of the recording paper conveying means and a driving mechanism of the ink film cartridge 31.

The rotation of the drive motor 70 is controlled by the gears 71-74.
Through the drive gear 75 of the ink cartridge 31. On the other hand, gear 73 rotates head roller 68 via gears 76 and 77. The rotation of the motor 70 is performed via a gear group (not shown) through the feed roller 6 shown in FIG.
6 is also reported.

FIGS. 10 and 11 show the appearance of the ink film cartridge 31. FIG. FIG. 10 is an external view of the front side, and FIG. 11 is an external view of the back side.

The ink film cartridge 31 has a housing 80 having an opening 83 at the center for entering the recording head.
Shafts 81 and 82 held in parallel by the housing 80; an ink film 33 wound between one shaft and the other;
Gears 79, 75 of the same configuration provided at the diagonal end of 82
Consists of The ink film 33 has a width corresponding to the width of the recording paper of the maximum size. Usually, the ink film for thermal transfer recording cannot be used a plurality of times because the ink comes off the film in a single recording, but can be used a plurality of times by improving the heating control of the ink film and the thermal head. The present ink film cartridge 31
Is premised on such multiple uses. That is, in the present cartridge 31, the film once wound from one shaft to the other is wound in the opposite direction next time. Therefore, the cartridge 31 of the present embodiment has a relationship with a driving mechanism described later, and has a structure that is rotationally symmetric about the shaft 84 as illustrated. As shown in FIG. 12, the ink film 33 is provided with two white bands at the diagonal positions as end identifiers. The white belt detecting means is publicly known, and is not shown.

FIG. 13 shows an ink film cartridge 31.
FIG. 14 shows the state of being mounted on the driving mechanism from the driving side, and FIG. 14 shows that state from the driven side.

As shown in FIG. 13, in this example, the gear 7
The side with 5 is the winding side. The gear 75 is driven by a gear 73 with a torque converter via a gear 74. The rotational force of the motor 70 is transmitted to the gear 73 as described above with reference to FIG. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 14, the diagonal position of the torque converter gear 73 is
A gear 88 and a gear 89 with back tension are provided. In other words, the driven gear 79 meshes with the back-tensioned gear 89 via the gear 88. Therefore,
An appropriate tension is applied to the ink film 33. When the film 33 is fully wound, the cartridge 31 is rotated by 180 °, and the film 33 is wound in the opposite direction.

As described above, the gear 73 of the film driving mechanism is used.
And 89 are arranged on the diagonal side and the ink film cartridge 31 has a structure to be rotated, so that the structure of the drive mechanism and the cartridge for use multiple times can be prevented from becoming complicated. If the gears 75 and 79 of the cartridge 31 are provided on the same side of the shaft, two sets of drive mechanisms are required to use the cartridge 31 by rotating it by 180 °. Conversely, if the drive mechanism is provided only on the same side, the shaft of the cartridge 31 requires four gears at all ends. However, in the present invention, the number of drive mechanisms may be one, and the number of gears on the shaft may be two.

Next, FIG. 15 shows the appearance of a facsimile apparatus according to a second embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the same elements as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals.

In this embodiment, an automatic document feeding function is added to the functions of the first embodiment. The mechanism for automatic sheet feeding is mainly provided on the document cover 90. That is, as shown in the figure, a document placing surface 91 and a pair of document guides 92 are provided on the surface of the document cover main body 102, and a document feeder 94 is provided at one end of the document cover 90. 1
The pair of guides 92 are linked so that the width can be changed according to the original stripe size by a well-known mechanism. In this embodiment, the original placing surface 91 is flat, but the remaining surface portion is curved as in the first embodiment. When the document cover 90 is opened, the document placing surface 19 similar to that of the first embodiment is opened.
, And can also read a book-type original.

The automatic document feeding function added in this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

The document feeding section 14 forms a gap 103 through which a document passes between the document cover 90 and the cover body 102 on the side of the document placing surface 91 of the document cover 90.
9 is electrically connected to one end. The document feeder 14 includes two front and rear sections 94a and 94b independent of each other. The front part 94 a is a roller 97 facing the gap 103.
And the arrow 10 around the fulcrum 100 for maintenance.
It opens in the direction of 4. The rear portion 94b has a roller 98 facing the upper body portion 12. Cover rollers 95 and 96 facing the gap 103 are provided on the cover body 102.
Having. The roller 95 comes into contact with the document presser 101 and pulls in the document inserted into the opening 93. The roller 95 contacts the roller 97 and conveys the document. The image of the conveyed document is read at a position above the reading head 25. That is, when reading is performed using this automatic sheet feeding function, the reading head 25 remains stationary at the initial position and does not move. A roller 99 is provided at an end of the main body upper portion 12 and abuts against a roller 98 in the rear portion 94b to serve to discharge the read original to the outside of the apparatus.

In this embodiment, a document discharge tray is not provided for the purpose of saving space. However, it can be provided.
