Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent a facsimile equipment from being left at a state capturing a line even after completing communication, by providing a hook switch re- initializing means which performs initialization while the line is controlled by a microprocessing unit (MPU). CONSTITUTION:At the time of performing facsimile communication, a start key 25 is depressed after the response of an opponent, then, a start switch 27 is depressed, and also, an on-hook dial key 22 is re-depressed by the hook switch re-initializing means, and an alternate rush button 20p is also re- depressed, then, an alternate switch is initialized again, and after completing the communication, a DC circuit is released and the communication is completed by disconnecting the line by the MPU13. At this time, since the depression of the start switch 27 is performed prior to the re-depression of the alternate push button 20p, the re-depression is performed after the line is placed under the control of the MPU13. In such a way, it is possible to prevent the facsimile equipment from being left at the state where the DC circuit is closed and the line is captured after completing the facsimile communication.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to a facsimile device with a telephone handset, in particular,
The present invention relates to a facsimile machine having an on-hook tire function.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, this type of device has a hook switch that operates depending on whether the handset is on the stand or not, and a momentary switch that operates when the on-hook dial key is pressed, and when the on-hook dial key is pressed, the device control Base microprocessing unit (rMP)
Through the intervention of the UJ, relays and the like are operated to close the DC circuit, and at the same time the circuit board is monitored from the speaker. The release is also performed through the intervention of the MPH when the hook switch is activated and when the on-hook dial key is pressed again.

In this case, since a circuit such as a relay is required, cost or board space becomes a negative factor.

Also, since the MPU is involved, when the power is OFF.

In the event of a power outage, etc., the configuration is likely to be such that calls cannot be made.

Therefore, in the case of small, low-cost facsimile machines, hook SW (hereinafter r
It may be configured using an on-hook/hook switch).

The on-hook/hook switch has two top parts inside one housing that transmit the operation from the outside, one is a momentary switch for the hook switch, and the other is an alternate switch for the on-hook dial function, and when pressed, In this state, the operation of the hook switch causes the internal mechanism of the switch to release the switch and return to the initial state, and when the surface orientation switch is in the ON state, it has almost the same function. For example, when the line is connected using the on-hook key, additional functions such as turning on the speaker are activated.

When this on-hook/hook switch is used for a simple phone call, the user must perform normal operations such as going off-hook after dialing on-hook, or pressing the on-hook dialing key again due to a busy call before the line is connected. As long as there is a connection, the line will not be left unattended.

With facsimile machines, when the other party is receiving automatically, the facsimile may be started by applying the start key without putting the handset on hook and communicating with the other party. If you leave it alone, the telephone line will automatically disconnect as soon as the facsimile communication ends.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

However, in the case of a facsimile machine that uses the hook switch, the on-hook dial state mechanically holds the hook switch's alternate push button, so even if you try to turn off the MPU, the line remains connected. It has the disadvantage of being stored away.

Further, when trying to perform normal operation, there is also the inconvenience that an additional operation of pressing the on-hook dial key is required after the end of communication.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a facsimile device that will not be left in a state where the line is captured with the DC circuit closed even after facsimile communication ends.

[Means for solving problems]

In the facsimile device with a handset according to the present invention, the start key is pressed while the MPU is controlling the line, or
A hook switch reinitialization means is provided by operating a plunger or the like.

[Effect]

In the facsimile apparatus of the present invention, when sending a facsimile (a), even if the MPU is controlling the line, pressing the start key or operating a plunger, etc.
Since the hook switch reinitialization means operates and initializes, the line will not be captured while the DC circuit remains closed even after the communication ends.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

First, I will explain the configuration.

- In FIG. 2 showing a perspective view of the external appearance of a facsimile machine according to an embodiment, 1 is an upper outer casing of the apparatus, and 2 is a recording paper roll, which will be described later, which is detachably attached to the upper outer casing 1. A cover, 3, the lower outer casing, 4, the upper outer casing 1;
5 is an operation panel section also provided on the surface, 6 is a document with image information on the lower side, and 7 is a printed surface on the upper side. It is a thermosensitive recording paper that develops color due to heat, and is supplied from a recording paper roll 12 (see FIG. 3). 8 is moved in the direction of arrow F to cause the original M6 to move.
This is a paper bus release lever that releases the paper path.

Further, in FIG. 3 showing the internal configuration of the facsimile system, reference numeral 9 denotes a contact type image sensor unit that reads image information by shining light on Jg and 6 and converting the intensity of the reflected light into an electrical signal, and 10 further converts the image number S converted into an electric signal into thermal energy,
The recording paper thermal head unit 11 to be transferred to
The thermal recording paper 7 is pressed against the printing unit 10 to cooperate with printing, and has a higher coefficient of friction than the surface of the thermal head, and is rotated in the direction of the arrow by a drive system (not shown) to move the recording paper 7 in the direction of the arrow E. 12 is a recording paper roller, 13 is an MP
U, 14 is a CS roller that contacts the image sensor unit 9 via the original 6, and when the distance between the original 6 and the unit 9 is kept constant, the CS roller is moved in the direction of arrow C by a drive system (not shown). Since it rotates and has a higher coefficient of friction than the surface of the contact type image sensor module, it sends out rfy and 6 in the direction of arrow B. 15 is a document feed guide that forms a document bus; 16 is a document discharge kite; 17
is the internal main structure of this device.

With the above configuration, the original 6 inserted into the apparatus in the direction of the arrow changes direction upward by °C along the original paper feed guide 15, and passes through the contact image sensor unit 9 and the CS. It reaches the point where it is in contact with the roller 14.

Since the CS roller 14 is rotating in the direction of arrow C,
The original 6 is held in the grip and discharged in the direction of arrow B. In the meantime, the image sensor unit 9
Read the image information and send or copy it.

In addition, the image information that has been received or copied and converted into an electrical signal is processed by the MPU 13, and while being printed by the thermal head unit 10, is discharged in the direction of the arrow E outside the apparatus by the rotation of the Braden roller 11. .

Therefore, one embodiment of the present invention will be described based on FIG.
It is an on-hook/hook switch located on the MPU 13 that controls the control of this device, and an alternate push button 20p that turns on-hook when pressed first and turns the on-hook dial function alternate switch off footer when pressed again. A method that operates a momentary switch for a hook switch by rotating it in the top direction.
It has a mental switch lever 20u. Note that when the button 20p is pressed and when the momentary switch lever 201 is operated, the same operation is performed, at least in turning the telephone line ON10FF.

Said switch lever 20I1. In this case, handset 4 is placed on stand 1.
d, and when the on-hook knob (not shown) descends,
The on-hook lever 21 is rotated in the direction of arrow G, lifted from the off-hook state indicated by the dashed line, and rotated in the direction of arrow H, and becomes the on-hook state at the position indicated by the solid line.

22 is the on-hook dial key, and by pressing it, you can rotate I! The user operates the hook switch lever 23, which rotates around h23j, and presses down the alternate push button 20p via the slider 24, which contacts the tip of the lever and slides up and down. 25 is a start key, which instructs to start sending/receiving facsimile or copying. Then, it is guided by the side outer casing 1 and slid in a direction perpendicular to the operation panel section 5.

The hook switch re-initialization means includes a bridge 26 that is fixed to the start key 25 with tension or the like, but is held without being fixed to the on-hook dial key 22, and the dial key 2.
The collar 22t is provided to protrude in the F direction of the held part of No. 2, and comes into contact with the bridge 26 when the start key 25 is pressed to cause the dial key 22 to be pressed down again in conjunction with the flange 22t. Further, 27 is a start switch installed on a small board 28 and operated by the start key 25.

Note that the board 28 is connected to the hook switch lever 23.
The rotary shaft 23j of the slider 23 is supported and the slider 24 is held and slidably guided.

Next, the effect will be described.

When the handset 4 is on-hook, when the operator presses the on-hook dial key 22, the operation is transmitted to the hook switch lever 23, which rotates and pushes the slider 24 vertically downward. Then, the slider 24 presses the alternating switch using the button 20p and closes the DC circuit of the device, so the telephone line is connected and the line is heard from the speaker through an amplifier (not shown), where the operator can: Can be dialed.

When using a normal handset 4, when the handset 4 is lifted, the handset goes off-hook, at which time the alternating switch returns to its initial state.

Also, when you are on a call, etc., press the on-hook dial key 2.
If you press 2 again or raise and lower the handset 4, it will return to normal.

Fax machine (at 2 o'clock, start key 2 after the other party leaves)
When 5 is pressed, the start switch 27 is pressed, the on-hook dial key 22 is also pressed again by the hook switch reinitialization means, the alternate push button 20p is also pressed again, and the alternate switch is reinitialized. After the communication is finished, the MPU 13 disconnects the line. When it is turned off, the DC circuit opens and communication is completed.

At this time, since the start switch 27 is pressed before the alternate push button 20p is pressed again, the start switch 27 is pressed again after the MPU 13 controls the line.

Note that when the facsimile is operating, the MPU of this device is
13 is controlling the line. However, in reality, the system returns to the original system in which the line is opened and closed by ON10FF of the hook switch. At this time, the hook switch is usually in an on-hook position.

That is, in the present invention, even if the MPU 13 attempts to disconnect the line as described above, the alternate push button 20p
Since the line cannot be disconnected because the line is locked in an off-hook state, this was designed to prevent this.

In the above embodiment, for ease of explanation, the re-pressing of the on-hook dial key 22 is described as occurring mechanically when the start key 25 is pressed, but in reality, re-initialization occurs when the hook switch is operated. operate the mechanism for
It is desirable to perform initialization.

Also, although it is written to be initialized when the start key 25 is pressed, after the start key 25 is pressed - F during communication, the MPU 13 must always sense the ON10 FF of the on-hook/hook switch 20 and turn it OFF. If you create a system that doesn't start when the line is turned off, or that starts when it turns off, you won't be left with the line dragging.

Further, as another embodiment, the hook switch reinitialization means does not have a mechanical re-pressing mechanism, and the hook switch reinitialization means does not have a mechanical re-pressing mechanism.
It is also possible to consider a configuration in which after the MPU 13 controls the line by pressing , the alternate switch is pressed again by the operation of a plunger or the like, or a mechanical mechanism is operated such as by operating the momentary switch lever 20.9 once.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the present invention enables a facsimile machine with a handset to be released from an on-hook state by operating a switch that must be pressed during facsimile communication, such as the start key of the facsimile, and to perform on-hook dialing while the MPU is controlling the line. Since hook switch re-initialization means for initializing the alternate switch is provided, there is an effect that the DC circuit will not remain closed and the line will not be left in a captured state even after facsimile communication ends.

Therefore, this opens the door to the use of systems that have avoided adopting the on-hook/hook switch system due to the disadvantage of being left unattended, which also provides the advantage of reducing costs. .
