Abstract

PURPOSE:To make the entire equipment compact and to reduce the occupied area for installation by extending each constituting member constituting an original read section and a reception recording section from one end of the equipment over the other end in the form of hierarchy. CONSTITUTION:A read head section 3 is arranged at one end of the equipment in a transmission original read section 1 and an original table 4 and an original stacker 5 are prolonged in a hierarchy form from the read head section 3 toward the other end of the equipment. On the other hand, a recording paper roll 14, a thermal head 15, a feeding roller 16, a cutter 17 and a discharge roller 18 or the like are arranged on the reception recording section 2 toward the other end of the equipment and a recording paper stacker 19 is extended to one end of the quipment. Through the constitution and arrangement as above, the entire equipment is made compact and since the original table and the recording paper stacker are not projected, the occupied are a for installation is reduced.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Technical Field) The present invention relates to a facsimile device that occupies a small installation area and has excellent operability.

(Prior Art) Conventional facsimile machines generally have a problem in that the original table and the stacker protrude significantly to the outside of the machine, requiring a large installation area.

There are also examples with a document feeder and a built-in stacker, but since this stacker is used for both originals and recording paper, both are ejected together in the recording mode, resulting in poor scooking performance. Also, it is difficult to tell whether the manuscript remains or what was received. The scooked recording paper cannot be taken out directly from the front, but must be taken out diagonally or from the side, which makes it difficult to operate. Furthermore, since the recording paper conveyance path is turned, there are problems such as low conveyance reliability and poor removal of jammed paper.

(Purpose) The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and has a small and compact structure, the document table, stacker, etc. do not protrude, thus reducing the installation area and improving operability. The purpose is to provide a facsimile machine with

(Configuration) In order to achieve the above purpose, the reception recording section is arranged in five parts of the transmission document reading section, and the transmission document reading section is connected from the reading head section located at one end of the device to the other end. A document table and a document stacker are installed in a layered manner toward the department side,
The reception recording section is characterized in that a recording paper roll, a recording head section, and a recording paper stacker are arranged in this order from the other end or the other end of the apparatus toward the one end or the other end.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be specifically explained based on Examples.

(Embodiment) FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the present invention, in which 1 is a transmission document reading section, 2 is a reception recording section, and 1 is a transmission document reading section 1.
A reception recording section 2 is arranged at the bottom of the . In the transmission document reading section 1, a reading head section 3 is arranged at one end of the device, and a document table 4 and a document stacker 5 are arranged in a layered manner from the reading head section 3 toward the other end of the device. It is extending.

The reading head section 3 includes a feed roller 6, a separation roller 7, a separation piece 8, a tension roller 9, a feed roller lO1 contact sensor 11. A reading roller 12, a discharge roller 13, etc. are arranged. On the other hand, the reception recording section 2 includes a recording paper roll 14, a thermal head 15. A feed roller 16, a cutter 17, a discharge roller 18, etc. are arranged, and a recording paper stacker 19 extends from there toward one end of the apparatus. Note that 20 is a reading side motor, 21 is a recording side motor, and 22 to 25 are various boards on which circuit components are mounted.

In the above configuration, the document is fed from the document table 4 by the feed roller 6, separated one by one by the separation roller 7 and the separation piece 8, and then read by the contact sensor 11.

The document then makes a U-turn and is discharged to the document stacker 5 by the discharge roller 13.

On the other hand, the recording paper pulled out from the recording paper roll 14 has received information recorded by the thermal head 15, cut into a required length by the cutter 17, and then discharged to the recording paper stacker 19 by the discharge roller 18.

In this embodiment configured as described above, the original table and the stacker are arranged in a layered manner within the width of the apparatus, and do not protrude outside the apparatus as in the conventional case, so that the area occupied by the apparatus is reduced. Furthermore, since the stamper has separate sides for the document and the recording paper, it has good cutting performance and it is easy to check the received paper. In this embodiment, the reading head section and the recording head section are arranged separately on the left and right sides of the apparatus, so that the weight balance is good.

FIG. 2 shows the external appearance of the above embodiment, in which the operating section 30 is arranged at the lower part of the front side of the device.

Since the operation surface is slightly lower than the recording paper stacker surface, the received recording paper can be pulled out toward the front. Note that the length of the drawable width a is longer than the length in the sub-scanning direction of a standard size (for example, A4, etc.). If a special size document (long document) longer than a is received, the leading edge of the recording paper will come out on the left side of the device, so you can take it out from that side.

When the sensor cover 31 is opened in the direction of arrow B, the document conveyance path is separated, that is, the feed roller 6, separation roller 7, tension roller 9, contact sensor 11, and its guide plate are moved, so that it is easy to remove the document when it is jammed. becomes extremely easy.

Small originals in the original stacker can be easily taken out by rotating the original table 4 in the direction of arrow C.

When setting recording paper, when the head cover 32 is opened in the direction of the arrow, the roll paper cover 33 is opened in the direction of the arrow E in conjunction with a link or the like. Set the recording paper roll 14 there,
All you have to do is put the tip over the feed roller 18 toward the cutter 17 and close the head cover 32. Note that the roll paper cover 33 is made of a translucent material, so that the remaining amount can be easily checked.

Concerning the conveyance and scooking of the recording paper, the conveyance path is approximately straight, so the conveyance is highly reliable, and since the front side of the recording paper roll is the recording surface and the lower side curls on the stacker, it is less likely to curl up. Furthermore, since the leading edge of the next recording paper does not get under the trailing edge of the previous paper, the scooking property is good.

FIG. 3 shows the embodiment shown in FIG. 2 with a handset 35 added thereto, which is placed on the left side for improved operability. Placing it on the sensor cover 31 causes problems when opening and closing the cover.

FIG. 4 shows another embodiment of the present invention, in which the recording section is placed below the reading section, and the opening/closing cover can be shared, making it possible to reduce costs. (Effect) As explained above, the present invention has many advantages, such as a smaller installation area, significantly improved operability, and extremely easy maintenance.
