This can achieve the above-mentioned second purpose. In addition, if the reading device is moved up to read the image, compared with the case where the reading device is moved down to read the image, the vibration caused by the movement of the reading device can be reduced to cause image damage. influences. Furthermore, a reference position formed as a reference for stopping the original is set below the contact glass, and a stop / stop device for stopping the original is provided at the reference position, even if it is assumed that the original falls when the original is conveyed. In this case, the original can be reliably stopped at the reading position. Furthermore, the first paper feed port is provided above the contact glass and is used to insert an original document, and the conveying path is to guide the original document inserted through the first paper feed port along the contact glass to Up to the reference position; the transport path is constituted by first and second transport paths, the second transport path is formed by the transport belt and the contact glass, and the first transport path is disposed on the conveyor belt The upper guide member and the contact glass are formed between the conveying belt and the guide member, and a second paper feed port for inserting an original document into the conveying path is formed. The first paper feed port is inserted into the second paper feed port, and is conveyed to the aforementioned reading position by the aforementioned conveyor belt. The original inserted through the first paper feed port passes the first and second ^ paper feed paths, and The conveyor is rotated to be conveyed to the reading position. Because the second and second paper feed ports are formed between the guide member and the conveyor belt, there is a second paper feed port-the inserted originals do not need to pass through the first conveyor path and rotate by the conveyor -10- 591933 To the reading position. As a result, the original inserted through the second paper feed port is-the conveying distance to the reading position (reference position) is short, and the conveying time can be shortened. In addition, by further providing a paper feeding device that transfers originals from the second paper feed port to the above-mentioned conveying path, processing efficiency can be improved when a plurality of originals are conveyed and processed, and thus the conveying time can be shortened. In addition, it includes: a first paper feed tray for loading an original inserted through the first paper feed opening; a second paper feed tray for loading an original φ original inserted through the second paper feed opening; a paper discharge tray Is used to store the originals that have been read; while the paper discharge tray is arranged below the conveyor belt, the second paper tray is arranged between the first paper tray and the conveyor belt.

In addition, the operation control unit is connected to the operation unit,-the sensor control unit is connected to the sensor 1 1 1, 2 0 6, 2 0 7, 6 1 3, drive -25- 591933 actuator control unit It is connected to a drive unit for driving the motors M 1 to M 3. The fan control unit is connected to the first suction fan 503 and the second suction fan 1 2 1. (Operation) Next, the operation of the image reading apparatus 1 of this embodiment will be described with reference to a flowchart, with the CPU of the control unit as the main body. When the power is turned on to the image reading device 1, an image reading example stroke type for reading an image of a photo is performed. As shown in FIG. 8, in this image reading example stroke type, first, in step S1, it waits until the operator presses the mode button of the operation section. The operator can choose to automatically feed one or more S-size photos, feed them one by one toward the image reading unit 3, read the paper automatically, or insert the panoramic photos by hand. A paper feed mode in which any one of the panoramic modes is conveyed and read toward the image reading unit 3 one by one. In the next step S2, the selected paper feeding mode is to determine whether it is an automatic paper feeding mode. When the judgment is affirmative, it is to execute the automatic paper feeding mode processing step example in step S3. As shown in FIG. 9, in the case of the auxiliary stroke type, in step S 1 1, the 'empty sensor 206 stands by until an S-size photo is detected. When it is judged as positive, that is, the operator is in the paper feed tray. Place the S-size photo on the 202 side with the reading side facing up and place it on the center and close the paper feed tray cover 200 so that the paper is fed when the lever-2 2 2 and the engaging pin 2 3 4 are engaged. The disk 2 0 2 is the rotating shaft 2 3 1-as the center, it rotates and rises. It is placed on the uppermost photo surface. -26- 591933 is squeezed to the pickup roller 2 5 0, and the air sensor 206 After detecting the S-size photo, it is judged in the next step S 12 whether the operator has pressed the start button of the operation part. When the determination is negative, the process returns to step S11. When the determination is affirmative, the conveyance motor M1 is driven in the forward direction in step S13, and the first adsorption tube 532 is operated. Thereby, the pickup roller 25 0 is rotated in a counterclockwise direction, and the S-size photo placed on the uppermost part is continuously fed to the paper feeding path from the feeding outlet 20C. Trail 2 03. The S-size photo is separated into a single sheet by rotating the paper feed roller 2 5 1 W and the separation roller 2 5 2 counterclockwise, and conveyed to the downstream side along the paper feed path 2 0 3. In addition, the suction in the first suction pipe 502 is performed by the operation of the first suction fan 503. In the next step S 1 4, it is determined whether the conveying motor M1 is driven in a forward direction only with a predetermined predetermined number of pulses. When it is determined to be negative, the conveyance of the conveyance of the motor M1 is continuously performed. Driven by motor M1. As a result, the front end of the S-size photo is abutted against the grip points of the stopped resistance roller groups 253 and 254 to draw a resistance loop to release the slanting operation in the conveying direction of the S-size photo. In addition, the predetermined pulse number is a pulse number sufficient to sufficiently form such a resistance loop. In the next step S 1 5, the conveyance motor M 1 is driven in the reverse direction, and the conveyer belt 5 5 is rotated in a clockwise direction while driving a stopper motor M2 (not shown) and a stopper 5 08a. , 5 0 8b enters and exits the second conveying path 507. The S-size photo is transmitted from the automatic paper feed port X to the conveying path through the rotation of the resistance roller 25 3 (the resistance roller 254 is driven by the resistance roller 2 5 3) -27- 591933 7 0 0 (second conveyance Path 5 07), the front end of which is aligned with the contact glass 300 to correct the conveying direction, and is directed toward the side of the conveying belt 505. The photo reaching the conveyor belt 505 is conveyed toward the reference position T by being rotated while being attracted to the conveyor belt by the operation of the first suction fan 503. In the next step S16, the size of the S-size photo is determined by the front end and the back end of the S-size photo detected by the timing sensor 207, and the size of the reference position T of the S-size photo will be ended. The transmission amount (number of pulses) is determined by referring to a table stored in the ROM in advance. In step S18, the rear end of the S-size photo is detected by the timing sensor 207, and it is determined whether or not the conveyance is determined by the conveyance amount determined in step S16. If the judgment is negative, the conveyance is continued. When affirmative, the transport motor M 1 is stopped. As a result, the conveyor belt 505 is stopped from rotating, and the S-size photograph is formed so that the reference position T in a state where the front end abuts against the abutting members 508a and 508b is used as a reference and maintained at the reading position 800. At this time, the S-size photo is taken on the conveyer belt 5 05 stopped at the slightly central portion and sucked in the original conveying direction, and as described above, it is formed in a state of being separated by contacting the glass 300 at a certain interval. Next, in step S 18, the abutment motor M 2 is driven in reverse, and the abutment members 508 a and 50 8 b are retracted from the second conveying path 507. In step S 19, the carriage motor (motor moto 0 M3 is rotated forward). Driven by this, the timing belt 3 2 1 is rotated in the clockwise direction shown in the figure, and the carrier 3 0 1 is raised from the origin position 301. The carrier 301 is used to read the light and dark correction while rising. The white reference plate is 3 2 3, and then the image is read in accordance with the distance from the reference position T to the length of the S-size photo while the image is being read. -28-591933 In step S20, it is determined whether the carrier 301 is raised Take step S16-the distance determined to correspond to the length of the s-size photo, and if the determination is negative, continue the processing in step S 19 'When the determination is affirmative, that is, when the reading is finished, the carriage motor is stopped Forward rotation drive of M 3. The image data read from the photo is recorded to the paging memory of the main substrate. In the next step S21, 'the carriage motor M3 and the conveyance motor M1 are driven in reverse. By Reverse drive of carriage motor M3, leather The belt 321 rotates in a counterclockwise direction, and the carrier 30 1 moves toward the origin position and starts to descend. In the next step S22, the system judges whether the origin position sensor 3 3 0 has detected The carrier 301 returns to step S21 and continues the reverse driving of the carriage motor M3 and the conveyance motor M 1 when the judgment is negative. When the judgment is affirmative, the carriage motor M3 is stopped in the next step S23. Reverse drive. Maintain the reverse drive of the conveying motor M1. The conveyer belt 5 、 5, the discharge belt 6 1 2 are rotated clockwise and counterclockwise respectively, and the S-size photos are conveyed toward the discharge tray 601. In addition, in step In S23, in order to determine whether the paper discharge sensor 6 1 3 has detected the front end of the S-size photo, it is determined to be negative. Φ is the reverse driving of the continuous conveyance motor M1. When it is determined to be positive, the rotation speed of the conveyance motor M1 is decelerated. In the next step S24, it is determined whether the rear end of the S-size photo has been detected. If it is judged as negative, the deceleration rotation speed maintained in the conveying motor M1 is determined. If it is judged as positive, it is performed in the next step S25. The conveyance motor M 1 is stopped after the predetermined amount of reversal is driven. As a result, the S-size photograph is formed in a state of being placed on the paper discharge tray 601. Second, in step S26, the 29-591933 cut-off sensor is judged. 206 Whether the next S-size photo has been detected is being determined as. When it is affirmative, the process returns to step S13 and the next S-size photo is processed. If it is judged as negative, the first suction fan 5 03 is stopped in step S27, and the automatic feed mode auxiliary routine stroke type and image reading are ended. Take the stroke type. On the other hand, if it is determined to be negative in step S3 in FIG. 8, the panoramic mode processing assist example routine shown in FIG. 10 is executed in step S4. In the panoramic mode processing, the operator opens the cover body 010, passes the front end of a panoramic photo through the manual paper feed port 10C, the conveying path 700 (the first conveying path 109), and reaches the conveyor belt 05 05 and contacts the glass Insert it by hand until it is between 3 00 (for example, ® reaches the center of the conveyor belt 05 05). As a result, the panoramic photo is set in the state of being placed on the manual feed tray 108a. In FIG. 10, the same steps as those in FIG. 9 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and descriptions thereof will be omitted, and only different steps and differences will be described. In this itinerary of the panoramic mode processing assist example, first, it waits in step S3 1 until the panoramic photo is detected by the air sensor 1 Π. After the panoramic photo is detected, in the next step S32, the first The 1 suction fan 503 and the φ second suction fan 1 2 1 are operated. Thereby, the suction of the first suction fan 503 and the second suction fan 212 are started, so that the front end side of the panoramic photo is sucked to the conveyor belt 505, and the rear end side is sucked on the guide frame 108b. The formed suction port is 125 °. In the next step S33, it waits until the start and start buttons are pressed by the operator. After the start button is pressed, it goes to the next step S34. After a predetermined time, the abutment motor -30- 591933 M 2 is driven while the conveying motor M 1 is reversely driven. As a result, the conveyor belt 5 Ο 5 is rotated in a clockwise direction, and the abutment 5 Ο 8 a ,. 508b enters and exits the transport path 507 (second transport path 507). The second end of the panoramic photo is attracted by the action of the second suction fan 1 2 1, while the predetermined interval is separated by the contact glass 3 0 0, and the panoramic photo is taken by the first suction fan 5 0 3 The front end side is attracted to the conveyor belt 505, and the panoramic photo is conveyed to the downstream side by the rotation of the conveyor belt 505. In the next step S 3 5, the air sensor 1 1 1 determines whether the rear end of the panoramic photo has been detected, and when it is determined to be negative, the driving of the conveyance motor M1 and the stopper motor M2 is continuously performed. When it is affirmative, the panorama photo is again conveyed by a predetermined amount of conveyance (the conveyance amount of the front end of the panorama photo abutting against the stoppers 5 8 a, 5 0 8 b), and then the conveying motor M 1 is stopped. At this time, the panoramic photo is abutted on the front ends to the stoppers 5 8a and 5 8b, and the reference position T is used as a reference to stop at the reading position 800. The front end side is attracted to the suction fan 503 to On the conveyor belt 05, the rear end side is sucked by the second suction fan 121 and supported on the suction port 125 of the guide frame 108b. Therefore, the panoramic photo is such that the contact glass 3 00 is maintained on the conveyor belt 50 5 and the suction port 125 at a predetermined interval. In the following steps S18 to S24, as described above, the same processing as the corresponding steps of the stroke type of the automatic paper feed mode processing auxiliary example shown in Fig. 9 is performed. Among these steps, the difference from the corresponding step corresponding to the process-assisted example of the automatic paper feed mode is that the length of the panorama photo is longer than the length of the s-size photo, and the distance of the carrier 301 rising and falling The increase point and the increase in processing time up to -31-591933 points until the finishing of the panoramic photo. In the next step S 36, the conveyance motor M1, the first suction fan 503, and the second suction fan 121 are stopped after a predetermined time, and the panoramic mode processing assist example stroke type and image reading example are ended. Line program. In addition, the image reading device 1 communicates with a host computer connected to an external interface, and sends out the image data that has been stored in the page memory by a request from the above-mentioned device. (Effects, etc.) Next, the functions and the like of the image reading device 1 of this embodiment will be described. In the image reading device 1 of this embodiment, the contact glass 300 is arranged slightly vertically, and the carrier 301 is moved upward along the contact glass 300 to read the image of the photo. Therefore, the image reading can be reduced. Take the installation area of device 1. In particular, in order to read stably from the reference position T, a distance must be formed until the speed of the carrier 301 is stabilized, or an origin position containing a distance to read the white reference plate 3 to 23 is formed. The distance L1 up to the reference position T φ requires a distance L2 (see FIG. 1) of the width of the carrier 301 in order to move the carrier 301 to the upper end of the contact glass 300. Therefore, the contact glass 300 is The conventional image reading device which is horizontally arranged on the mounting surface and moves the carrier in a phase of 301 is attached to the area of the contact glass 301, which is larger and only has a distance of L1 and L2. The area increases. The image reading device 1 of the present invention is to move the carrier 301 up and down while the contact glass 300 is arranged vertically, so that the installation area of the distance L1 and L2 can be further reduced by -32-591933. In addition, since the conveyor belt 5 0 5 is used to surround the transported photos only in the first suction section 531 and the conveyor belt 5 05 is not enclosed in the second suction section 150, the size of the transport unit 2 can be reduced. The size and size of the image reading device 1 are further reduced. In addition, there is a difference (backlash) between the outer diameter of the guide shaft 3 3 3, 3 3 4 and the inner diameter of the support member 5 7 0, 5 7 1. The carrier 3 0 1 often uses its own weight. The force applied in the downward direction. Therefore, when the carrier 301 moves, the inclination of the difference (backlash) between the outer diameter of the guide shaft 3 3 3, 334 and the inner diameter of the support member 5 70, 571 repeatedly appears on the left and right sides. Vibration is generated, which is greater than that when the carrier 301 is raised and lowered. In the image reading device 1, when the photo is read and held while the carrier 3 01 is moved and held, the carrier 301 can be read while being lowered while the carrier 301 is lowered. The carrier 301 is lifted for reading (step S19), and the influence on the image quality can be reduced by the vibration generated when the carrier 301 moves. Furthermore, in the image reading device 1, the panoramic photo of φ inserted through the manual paper feed port 10C is adsorbed on the first adsorption portion 53 1 and the second adsorption portion 1 50, and is conveyed on one side by a conveyor belt 05 05. Stop at the reading position (the front end of the panoramic photo is the reference position T that abuts against the stoppers 508a, 50 8b). At the reading position 800, it is sucked to the conveyor belt 505 by the first suction portion 531. At the same time, it is adsorbed to the second adsorption portion 150, and is maintained at a predetermined interval from the contact glass 3 0 (steps S34 and S35). On the other hand, the S-size photo inserted through the sending-out port 20C is one side which is sucked to the first suction part 5 31 and is conveyed by the -33- feeding belt 5 05 and stopped to the reading position 8 00 ( The front end of the panoramic photo is the reference position T) that abuts against the abutment members 5 0 8 a and 5 8 b. At the reading position 800, it is suctioned to the conveyor belt 5 05 by the first suction portion 531, and A predetermined interval is maintained for the contact glass 300 (steps S15 to S17). The distance between the contact glass 300 and the panorama or S-size photo is about 7 mm, and the air layer formed between the two is sufficiently larger than the interference interval where the Newton ring is generated. If the image reading device 1 is used to read a photo with the carrier 301 (step S19), since the contact glass 300 has a sufficient interval not to generate a Newton ring, a good image can be obtained. In addition, in the image reading device 1, during the transport, the rear end of the panoramic photo is sucked by the second suction part 150 and transported at regular intervals by the contact glass 3 00. Therefore, the rear end part of the photo can be prevented Sagging, inadequate transportation caused by suction on the contact glass 300 (unable to transport, or the image surface being scratched by pulling the photo obliquely or in a state of being transported in the conveying direction), and at the same time, the image reading When taking photos, the photos are kept at a certain interval from the contact glass 3 00. Therefore, the photos should not be attached (sucked) to the contact glass 3 0 0, and there will be poor conveyance during discharge that cannot be discharged or the same. Defects such as scratches on the image surface of the photo caused by friction between the contact glass. Therefore, even during conveyance, the conveyance of the original can be prevented by the contact between the contact glass 300 and the original (photograph). In addition, in the image reading device 1, the S-size photos inserted through the delivery port 20C are such that the panoramic photos inserted through the manual feed port 10C can be borrowed without going through the first conveying path 109. Since it is conveyed to the reference position T by the conveyer belt 505, the conveying distance can be shortened, and the conveying time can be shortened by -34 to 591933. Furthermore, the image reading device 1 has an automatic paper feeding unit 20 that transfers S-sized photos to the transportation path 700 (second transportation path 507) from the transmission port 20C through the automatic paper feeding port X. Therefore, It can improve the processing efficiency when conveying and reading multiple S-size photos. In addition to shortening the conveying time, it can be used with the manual feed tray 108a for panoramic photos with a lower frequency of use without increasing the frequency of use. Tray 2 2 for higher S-size photos, which improves operability. Furthermore, in the image reading device 1, a reference position T for forming the original stop reference is arranged below the contact glass 300, and a stop member 508 for stopping the front end of the photo at the reference position T is arranged to The conveying path 700 can be advanced and retracted. Therefore, by making the stop member 508 in and out, even if it is assumed that the photo is dropped during the photo transport, the photo can be reliably stopped at the reference position T and the image can be imaged. At the same time, the stop member 508 is composed of two abutment members 5 08a and 5 0 8b. The abutment members 508a and 5 08b are arranged in a spaced, parallel and advancing and retracting manner, so the front end of the photo is 2 places. The inclination of the conveying direction of the photo can be corrected by abutting. In addition, in the image reading device 1, the rear end side of the panoramic photo is adsorbed by the second adsorption portion, and is conveyed to the reference position T by the conveyor belt 5 05. However, the second adsorption portion 1 5 The setting of the suction force of 0 is weaker than the suction force of the first suction part 531, so the load on the conveyor belt 505 can be reduced by the suction force of the second suction part 150. Furthermore, in the image reading device 1, most of the roller supporting members 2 1 5 and the rotating supporting members 6 1 5 -35- 591933 which are arranged in the curved R shape near the conveying path 700 are mostly attached to the photo. In the conveying and discharging direction, the rollers are continuous and adjacent. The outer circumferences of the rollers overlap each other and are arranged in the shape of a houndstooth. Therefore, it can reduce the damage or stain on the photo surface. In addition, in the image reading device 1, since the image surface side of the photo connected to the curved paper discharge path 604 is formed on the paper discharge belt 6 1 2, it is possible to reduce the number of scratches or stains on the photo surface. At the same time, the area given to the photo conveying force is increased, and the clamping force can be reduced without reducing the conveying force. In addition, in the present embodiment, the photograph is exemplified by the photograph 'but' | The present invention is not limited to the photograph, but it can also be applied to an image of an original recorded on a postcard or A4 size ordinary paper, etc. The read image reading device, however, is particularly effective especially when an original or a film having a high reflectance has been coated. In addition, in this embodiment, although illustrated as the thickness of the photo is set to about 0. 3 mm, the interval from the surface of the rib 130 to the surface of the contact glass 300 is 1 mm, the interval from the surface of the conveyor belt 505 to the surface of the contact glass 300 is 1 mm, and the interval from the rib 5 5 1 a to The distance between the surface of 5 5 1 d and the surface contacting the glass 300 is set to 1 mm. However, these intervals may be appropriately changed according to the thickness of the main document to be read. Furthermore, in this embodiment, it is disclosed that the first adsorption section 531 and the second adsorption section 150 are adsorbed by the first adsorption fan 503 and the second adsorption fan 121, and the first adsorption tube is used. 5 3 2. An example in which the second suction tube 120 is formed into a negative pressure to suck a photo. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, _ can also suck a document by static electricity. -36-591933 In addition, in this embodiment, an example in which the abutment members 5 08a and -508b are retracted by the conveyance path 700 during reading is disclosed. However, the photos can be read while maintaining the in-out state. Images can also be retreated after being read. In this embodiment, an example in which the stopping member 508 is divided into abutment members 508a and 508b and arranged on the lower side of the conveyor belt 05 is disclosed. However, the abutment members 5 08a and 5 08b may also be arranged. It is integrally formed. In this case, as long as the position of the conveyor belt 505 can be avoided, both parties can be connected. Moreover, in this embodiment, although the example of manually feeding the panoramic photo is disclosed (step S 1 8), it is the same as the case of the S-size photo. If it is an automatic paper feeding, the panoramic view can also be improved Photo processing efficiency. In this embodiment, an example in which the reference position at which the original document is stopped is formed to be the same as the reading start position is disclosed. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the two may be different. In addition, in the embodiment of the present invention, an example in which the second suction unit 150 is arranged upstream of the original conveying direction of the first suction unit 503 is disclosed. However, the second suction unit 150 only needs to be conveyed by conveyance. The belt 505 may be used to assist the adsorption of one side of a longer panoramic photo when the panoramic photo is transmitted. Therefore, the second adsorption part 150 for transmitting the panoramic photo may be disposed on the first adsorption part 503. Downstream side.
