Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, with the above configuration, there is a limit to miniaturization when used as a special purpose machine.

The present invention has been made in order to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks inherent in the conventional technology, and therefore, an object of the present invention is to form a transmission reading section and a reception recording section into a unit, and to make them detachable at the same location on the main body. Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to provide a new facsimile device that can be configured in a small size.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a new facsimile machine in which the reading device and the recording device can be protected by removing the transmitting reading section and the receiving recording section when not in use in places where the device installation conditions are severe. It's about doing.

Means for Solving the Problems - In order to achieve the purpose of notation, the facsimile device according to the present invention is a facsimile device using thermal recording paper and similar devices thereof. a receiving and recording unit having a thermal recording head for printing and a cutter for cutting the printed thermal recording paper; a document table for stacking a plurality of originals; an automatic paper feeding unit for sorting and conveying the originals one by one; A transmission/reading section having a light source that irradiates the document surface and a reading section that reads the irradiated document surface are each integrated into an independent unit, and an electric circuit section that has the functions of control and communication system, and an electric circuit section that controls the document transport and the thermal recording paper transport. The transmission reading section or the reception recording section can be selectively attached to and removed from the same location on the main body of the device that controls the drive system that is the source of power, and when the main body of the device and the transmission reading section are combined, it can be used only for transmission. The apparatus is characterized in that when the apparatus main body part and the reception recording part are combined, it functions as a reception-only apparatus.

Embodiment Next, a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be specifically explained with reference to the drawings.

1 to 6 show an embodiment of the present invention, among which:
Figure 1 is a sectional view of the transmitter/reader unit, Figure 2 is a sectional view of the receiver/recorder unit, Figure 3 is a sectional view of the main body, and Figure 4 is a transmitter-only device that combines the transmitter/reader unit and the main body. FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view of a reception-only device in which a reception recording unit and a main body are combined.

In FIG. 1, the transmission/reading unit 22 includes a document table 1 on which a document is placed, an automatic paper feeder 2 that selects and conveys a plurality of documents one by one, and a light source 3 that illuminates the reading position 18.
It is composed of a reading unit 7 that reads the original that has arrived at the reading position 18, a tension roller 4, a paper ejection roller 6, a stacker 19, and a positioning pin 21.

In FIG. 2, the receiving and recording unit 23 includes a roll of thermal recording paper 9, a thermal recording head 1o, a cutter I2, a stacker 13, and a positioning pin 21.

In FIG. 3, the main body 24 is a power source! 5 and electric circuit 1
7, a platen roller 5, and a motor 20 for driving the platen roller 5.

Here, the case where it is used as a transmitting-only device will be explained with reference to FIG.

In FIG. 4, the transmission/reading unit 22 is fixed to the main body 24 with positioning pins 21. As shown in FIG. At this time, the light source and the reading section are electrically connected.

The automatic paper feeding section 2 receives the driving force of the motor 20 through a drive transmission system (not shown), and selects and conveys the originals 1B stacked on the original table 1 one by one. The original tSt conveyed to the reading position 18 is illuminated by the light source 3 and read by the reading section 7. The tension roller 4 is brought into pressure contact with the platen roller 5, rotates in the direction of arrow A with the rotation of the platen roller 5 driven by the motor 2°, and conveys the original 181. The paper ejection roller 6 is in pressure contact with the tension roller 4,
As the tensile roller 4 rotates, it rotates in the direction of arrow B,
The original 181 is ejected.

Next, the case where the receiver is used as a reception-only device will be explained with reference to FIG.

In FIG. 5, the reception recording unit 23 includes a main body 24
and is fixed with positioning pins 21. At this time, the thermal recording head is electrically connected.

The platen roller 5 is brought into pressure contact with the thermal recording head 1G, receives the driving force of the motor 20, rotates in the direction of arrow C, and conveys the thermal recording paper 91. Thermal recording head 1 at printing position 25
The thermosensitive recording paper 91 printed with 0 is cut by the cutter I2 and stacked on the stacker 19.

In addition to this embodiment, the transmitting/reading unit and the receiving/recording unit may be fixed to the main body using shafts, rails, or the like.

As described in detail, according to the present invention, by making the transmitting reading unit and the receiving recording unit removable at the same location on the main body, the transmitting drive system and the receiving drive system can be shared, resulting in a compact device. can get.

Furthermore, in places where the equipment installation conditions are severe, it is possible to protect the reading device and the recording device by removing and storing the transmitting/reading unit and the receiving/recording unit when not in use.
