Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a composite device integrally provided with a document image input / output means, image information input means, display means, operating means, voice input / output means, etc., and is connected to, for example, a communication line. The present invention relates to a technique applicable to a compound device having a two-way communication function performed by the following.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Various information processing devices have been developed with the recent development of information processing systems and their peripheral technologies. The Internet is represented by the complete infrastructure of communication network such as optical fiber network. It is expected that bidirectional communication will be enhanced. As a hardware embodiment of this two-way communication, connecting to the communication line using the communication function of a personal computer with a display is the most cost-effective and partly implemented globally. It has already been completed and is expected to grow significantly in the future.

By the way, in bidirectional communication using a personal computer as described above, a still image or a color moving image desired by the user is operated by operating a keyboard, a mouse or the like of the personal computer, and character information, voice information, etc. By paying a fee corresponding to the line usage time through the above-mentioned communication line and performing search and acquisition for a fee, display output and voice output on the display screen connected to the personal computer 1
And the specific information thus obtained is input to an external storage means such as a magneto-optical disk storage device, a hard disk, a floppy disk storage device of a personal computer.
Processing, third processing for obtaining a hard copy by a printer or a copying machine to record desired image information on recording paper, and still image or moving image, text information or voice information desired by the user at the destination. At least four different processes of the fourth process for sending etc. are required.

By making these first to fourth processings feasible, it can be used as a database search device, a facsimile device, a color moving picture transmission / reception device, a video telephone device, a video conference system, a factory management system and the like. It is possible to realize multimedia communication in the original sense.

Therefore, when the above-mentioned first to fourth processes are carried out by using a personal computer with a display,
After connecting to the communication line, the keyboard or the mouse is operated to access the Internet and then the desired image and sound are received, and the first process of displaying and outputting the sound and the acquired predetermined image and sound are performed. Regarding the above-mentioned second processing for inputting and to the external storage means such as the CD-ROM storage device, the image storage section is assigned to the large-capacity external storage means usually provided in the personal computer. It can be carried out. For this purpose, for example, it can be performed by one personal computer installed on a desk.

However, the above-mentioned third method for recording the remaining desired image information on a recording paper to obtain a hard copy.
In order to perform the above processing, a color printer or a copying machine is needed separately, and it is necessary to secure the installation area. Further, in order to perform the above-mentioned fourth processing for transmitting a still image or a moving image desired by the user to the destination, character information, voice information, etc., a function of converting image information into a digital image signal is provided. A video camera or a still camera, and an image reading device that is a scanner that can read an original,
A further microphone is needed.

As a result of the above, when a conventional personal computer is diverted as described above, a color printer or a copying machine for performing the above-mentioned third processing and a video for performing the above-mentioned fourth processing. With the additional need for a camera or still camera, an image reader and a microphone,
It is practically difficult to realize because not only a considerable installation area is required, but also an installation work for wiring after the devices are individually prepared is added.

Further, when a personal computer with a display placed on a desk is used, all operations are performed by operating a keyboard or a mouse, so that the operation is complicated for a beginner and it is placed on the desk.

In addition, operability can be improved and a convenient device can be configured.

However, in constructing the tilt angle varying device as described above, in particular, the flat display device has a large weight and is sufficient for guiding and driving between the maximum tilt angle position and the minimum tilt angle position. It is necessary to secure mechanical strength. Further, since the above flat display device is designed on the premise that it is used at the maximum tilt angle position in the upright state, heat radiation is performed by providing innumerable heat radiation holes from the back surface to the top surface. When it is used at the minimum tilt angle position close to the state of lying on the bed, the heat radiation effect may not be sufficiently secured, and in particular, the display operation may be stopped when the back surface of the display device is completely sealed. Therefore, if a dedicated cooling fan is provided, the weight will be further increased.

[0011]

Therefore, the compound device of the present invention has been made in view of the above problems.
The ergonomics of the display device provided in the multi-function device can be varied and the ergonomics of the device can be used even when the user stands upright. The purpose is to provide the device.

Further, the tilt angle varying device 1 presses the start switch 25 provided on the right front part of the upper surface 22 to thereby bring the maximum tilt angle position shown in the standing state and the minimum tilt angle position, Although the lower part of the base 6 moves in the direction of the arrow M on the pressure plate 17 and the scanner 15 cannot be operated, a mechanism for moving to a position where the touch operation can be performed more easily is provided, and will be described in detail below.

FIG. 3 is a left side view showing a schematic configuration of the tilt angle varying device 1. In the figure, roller support portions 13 are formed in the lower left and right portions of the base portion 6 so as to sandwich the guide groove portion 20 from the outside, and a pair of left and right rollers 12 are rotatably provided at the corners thereof. These rollers 12 roll on the upper surface 22 to support the tilt angle varying device 1 between the maximum tilt angle position and the minimum tilt angle position.

On the other hand, guide studs 10 are provided so as to be coaxial with the rollers 12, and guide grooves 20 are provided.
When the guide stud 10 comes into contact with the actuator block 35 that is movably provided in the guide groove 20, the guide stud 10 abuts against the actuator block 35 that is movable in the guide groove 20. It is configured to prevent further movement by activating each limit switch described later. Further, the tilt angle varying device 1
Is detected at the maximum inclination angle position or at the minimum inclination angle position by the abutment action of the guide stud 10.

Further, the roller 12 is arranged so that the maximum inclination angle position shown by the solid line in the figure is about 70 degrees from the horizontal plane, and the minimum inclination angle position shown by the broken line is about 30 degrees with the horizontal plane. Is configured to move about 43 centimeters so that the touch operability on the display surface can be excellently performed, and the base 6, the support arm 28, and the vertical fulcrum 2
The positional dimensional relationship of 9 and 30 is set from these angles.

Next, an upper fulcrum 29 is provided at an upper portion of the rear surface of the base 6, and a lower fulcrum bracket 31 pivotally supporting a lower fulcrum 30 is provided at a rear portion of the apparatus main body, which are respectively connected to these fulcrums. A connecting arm 28 is provided. A sector gear 32 fixed to the connecting arm member 28 is fixed to the connecting arm 28 with the lower fulcrum 30 as the center of rotation.

Further, the tooth portion 32a of the sector gear 32 is
The drive motor 33, which is driven to rotate in the forward and reverse directions by fixing the output gear 33a that meshes with the output shaft to the output shaft, is fixed to the main body, and is driven in the clockwise (CW) direction as shown in FIG. 28 is rotated in the direction of arrow M1 to move the base portion 6 to the position shown by the broken line and move to a position that covers the pressure plate 17 of the scanner.

On the contrary, when the base 6 is in the position shown by the broken line, when the start button 25 is pressed,
By driving the drive motor 33 in the counterclockwise (CCW) direction, the connecting arm member 28 is rotated in the arrow U direction,
It is configured so that the scanner 15 can be used while the base portion 6 is moved to the position shown by the solid line so as to stand up.

FIG. 4 is a plan view showing the arrangement positions of the micro switches SW1 to SW6 which are the limit switches. In this figure, the base 6 of the tilt angle varying device shown by the chain double-dashed line in the figure is moved in the arrow M direction in the front and the arrow U in the back by the movement of the support arm 28 by the drive of the drive motor 33. .

In order to detect the position thus moved, the guide studs 10 arranged side by side on the rollers 12 at the lower left and right sides of the base portion 6 run inside one side of the guide groove portion 20, whereby the direction of the arrow in FIG. The actuator block 3 in the above-mentioned urged state by an urging member (not shown).
5 is moved so that the movement position can be detected.
These actuator blocks 35 include a back limit switch SW for detecting overrun when the base 6 is retracted.
2, a rear limit switch SW3 that moves backward and detects that the base portion 6 is in a standing position of 70 degrees, and a front limit switch SW4 that moves forward in the direction of the arrow M and detects a state of being tilted by 30 degrees, A front limit switch SW6 for detecting overrun when the base 6 moves forward,
A foot limit switch SW5 for detecting whether or not the guide stud 10 sneaks in the guide groove 20 in a normal state is provided.

Further, the front door 49 provided on the upper surface 22 so as to be movable forward from the separating surface 19 is movable forward when jamming of the color printer device 100 occurs, and is normally It is held in a closed state by a hook 37, is arranged on the lower back side of the base 6, and is configured so that the hook 37 is released by pressing a release switch 36. A door limit switch SW1 is provided to detect the open / closed state of the front door 49.

FIG. 5 is a block diagram of the limit switches SW1 to SW6 arranged as described above. In the figure, each of the limit switches SW1 to SW6 is connected to the one-chip processor 202 after being converted into a signal having a processable voltage-current waveform via the regulator IC 201. On the other hand, the start switch 25 is also connected to the 1-chip processor 202. From this one-chip processor 202, three signal lines for instructing the forward / reverse rotation drive of the drive motor 33, a brake and a complete stop are connected, and each of them is connected to a brake terminal of a motor driver 204 via a photo coupler 203. 205, a forward / reverse rotation drive terminal 206, and a complete stop terminal 207.

With the above configuration, referring to FIG. 3 again, when the main switch of the apparatus main body is turned on, the state of each limit switch is searched after the initialization of the one-chip processor 202, and the inclination angle is determined. When the base portion 6 of the variable device 1 is at the maximum tilt angle position as shown by the solid line (FIG. 3), this position state is the rear limit switch S.
It is detected that W3 is "on", and it is determined that it is in a normal state, and the drive motor 33 is not particularly driven.

On the other hand, when the base 6 of the tilt angle varying device 1 is at the minimum tilt angle position as shown by the broken line (FIG. 3), this position state is detected by the front limit switch SW4 being "on". Then, the drive motor 33 is determined to be in a normal state, and the drive motor 33 is not particularly driven.

On the other hand, when it is desired to move the tilt angle varying device 1 from the position shown by the solid line in FIG. 3 to the position shown by the broken line after the power is turned on, or by moving the tilt angle varying device 1 from the position shown by the broken line to the position shown by the solid line. When desired, by pressing the start switch 25, the forward / reverse rotation of the drive motor 33 is started, the rear limit switch SW3 is turned off, and then the front limit switch SW4 is turned on. Tilt angle position. Alternatively, when the front limit switch SW4 is turned off and the rear limit switch SW3 is turned on, the control program for performing drive control so as to move to the maximum tilt angle position is the one-chip processor 20 described above.
2 is written in advance.

Further, when the power supply of the apparatus is turned on, as described above, when the tilt angle varying apparatus 1 is at the intermediate position which is not located at the position shown by the solid line or at the position shown by the broken line in FIG. It is necessary to drive the tilt angle varying device 1 to any position for initialization.

If the drive motor 33 is suddenly driven, it will be driven even if the door limit switch SW1 is in the "OFF" state and the front door 49 is open. Further, even if the guide stud 10 is disengaged from the guide groove 20, if the guide stud 10 is driven, it becomes impossible to prevent the lateral blurring regulation when the base portion 6 moves.

In such a case, motor drive control is performed according to the flowchart shown in FIG. In this figure, after the initialization when the power source of the apparatus is turned on, when it is started in step S1, it is determined in step S2 whether the door 49 is closed and the door limit switch SW1 is in the "on" state. If it is turned off and is "off", the process proceeds to step S8, the motor is not driven, and the process returns at step S13.

On the other hand, if the door limit switch SW1 is in the "on" state, the process proceeds to step S3, and subsequently it is judged whether or not the foot limit switch SW5 which is normal in the normally closed state is "on". If it is turned off, the process proceeds to step S8, the motor is not driven, and the process returns at step S13.

If it is determined in step S3 that the foot limit switch SW5 is "on", then it is determined in step S4 whether the front limit switch SW4 is "on". Since it is at the minimum tilt angle position, the process proceeds to step S8, the motor is not driven, and the process returns at step S13. Next, in step S5, the rear limit switch SW
It is determined whether or not 3 is "on". When it is "on", it is in the maximum tilt angle position retracted. Therefore, the process proceeds to step S8 so that the motor drive is not performed and step S1 is performed.
Return with 3.

On the other hand, when it is judged to be "OFF" in steps S4 and S5, the tilt angle varying device 1 is in the intermediate position which is not located at the position shown by the solid line or at the position shown by the broken line in FIG. It is determined that the motor is started in the clockwise direction in step S6, is continued until SW3 is turned on in step S7, and is stopped in the retracted position. As described above, the tilt angle varying device 1 is stopped at the home position shown by the solid line in FIG.
Return and end.

On the other hand, when the drive motor overruns due to some cause and the base 6 moves beyond the above SW3, 4, as shown in the flow chart of FIG. The guide stud 10 provided further moves the actuator block 35 to turn on the back limit switch SW2 or the front limit switch SW6 that detects overrun when the base 6 moves forward (steps S21 and S25). In step S22, the drive motor 33 is forcibly stopped, abnormally stopped and an abnormal stop flag is set, and the subsequent processing is forcibly stopped. As described above, the driven drive motor 33 is a perfect countermeasure against runaway.

8A and 8B are side views showing an auxiliary mechanism at the time of starting the drive motor 33. FIG. 8A shows a state in which the base portion 6 is in an upright position, and FIG. 8B shows a state in an inclined position. It is a thing.

Since the weight of the base 6 is added from the state shown in FIG. 8 (a), the drive motor 33 does not generate much load, and rather acts as a motor brake in the final drive position. On the other hand, in the case of driving from the position shown by the broken line in FIG. 3 to the position shown by the solid line, when starting from the position shown in FIG. 8B, the drive motor 33 requires a starting torque of 100 kilograms F or more. Become.

Therefore, the support arm 28 is further extended downward from the lower fulcrum 30, and a hook portion 52 for locking one end of the tension coil spring 50 is provided, while it is fixed to the apparatus main body. The hook portion 51 is fixed, and the tension coil spring 50 is stretched in the tension state of the entire length K. Further, a tension coil spring 50 (not shown) is stretched in a tensioned state with a total length K, and has a total length J in a natural state.

In the above structure, the maximum load when the base 6 of the tilt angle varying device is at the minimum tilt angle position in FIG. 8B is reduced by the pulling force of the tension coil spring 50, and the load on the drive motor 33 is reduced. So that
The size of the drive motor 33 can be reduced. Further, by arranging a plurality of tension coil springs 50 as tension means in parallel, a desired tension force can be obtained in a limited space.

Further, the end surface 32c of the sector gear 32 is brought into contact with the stopper pin 54 fixed to the apparatus main body 2 at the rotating position shown in FIG.
A pin for restricting further rotation is provided, and a pure mechanical overrun prevention mechanism is provided for the above-mentioned motor control for overrun prevention.

Next, FIG. 9 is a rear view of the flat panel display 3 fixed to the base 6. FIG.
FIG. 10 is a sectional view taken along line XX of FIG. 9. In both figures, the same components as those already described are denoted by the same reference numerals and the description thereof is omitted. To describe the characteristic parts, the flat panel display 3 has a built-in backlight that generates a large amount of heat.
For example, while irradiating a liquid crystal screen having no light emitting ability from the back side by itself, countless upper heat dissipation holes 57 are provided in two rows from the back side to the top side of the display device.

In addition, as shown in the drawing, 2
When the lower heat dissipation holes 58 are formed in the rows and the base portion is positioned in the upright state, the air whose temperature has risen passes through these heat dissipation holes 57 and 58 and goes out to the outside, which is a so-called natural heat dissipation type. Is configured as.

On the other hand, this display device itself has a weight of 1
Since there is approximately 5 kilograms, and it is necessary to secure sufficient mechanical strength to guide and drive between the above-mentioned maximum tilt angle position and the minimum tilt angle position, the back surface supports the entire weight and at the same time as shown in the figure. Heat dissipation holes 57, 58
The base frame 60, which is formed by welding an aluminum mold member, is fixed by using screws 70 or the like so as to have a shape that secures the above.

The base frame 60 includes the left and right arm portions 60.
a is welded and fixed so as to extend from the lateral member 60b, and a support hole portion 6 for supporting the above-mentioned upper fulcrum.
0d is integrally formed. In addition, a space for accommodating the wires 80 and a hollow hole portion 56 for drawing out the wires from the display 3 are secured inside the lateral member 60b. Furthermore, a power supply connector 72 for enabling the flat panel display 3 to be used alone is arranged on the lower back side.

In the above structure, when the display device is used at the maximum tilt angle position in the upright state, heat is radiated from each heat radiating hole according to the initial design. Further, even when the base frame 60 is used at the minimum tilt angle position close to the laid state, the base frame 60 is shaped so as to sufficiently secure the heat radiation effect, and therefore, as shown in FIG. , A3 can be radiated from the heat radiation holes 57 and 58.

Therefore, in particular, it is not necessary to completely seal the back surface of the display device to dispose a dedicated cooling fan, and the weight is not increased.

It should be noted that the present invention relates to "a host computer,
