以記錄裝置之一例即噴墨印表機(以下稱為印表機)為例,說明實施形態。本實施形態之印表機可藉由液體之一例即墨水而對記錄用紙等之記錄媒體進行印刷。於本實施形態之印表機中,準備基本構成共通,而構成印表機之外殼之殼體各不相同之實施例。
以下,對本實施形態之各實施例,一面參照圖式一面說明。另,於各圖式中,為了將各自之構成設為可視認之程度之大小,有時構成或構件之縮尺不同。又,有時將對說明必要之構成要素以外進行省略。
(實施例1)
圖1及圖2係顯示實施例1之印表機之外觀之立體圖。於圖1及圖2,標註相互正交之座標軸即XYZ軸。針對於其以後所示之圖,亦根據需要標註XYZ軸。於本實施形態之各實施例中,於藉由X軸與Y軸規定之水平之平面(XY平面)配置印表機1之狀態係印表機1之使用狀態。將於XY平面配置印表機1時之印表機1之姿勢稱為印表機1之使用姿勢。
Z軸係與水平之平面正交之軸。於印表機1之使用狀態中,沿著Z軸之方向成為鉛直方向。且,於印表機1之使用狀態中,於圖1及圖2中,-Z方向為鉛直下方向。另,於XYZ軸之各者中,箭頭之方向顯示+(正)的方向,與箭頭之方向相反之方向顯示-(負)的方向。圖1係自+X方向側觀察印表機1之立體圖。圖2係自-X方向側觀察印表機1之立體圖。
如圖1及圖2所示,實施例1之印表機1具有殼體2、操作面板3、作為排出部之排紙部4、作為可視認構件之透明罩蓋5、蓋6、罩蓋9、罩蓋10。又,印表機1包含掃描器單元(未圖示)。即,印表機1為包含掃描器單元之複合機。另,印表機1亦可為並非複合機,為不包含掃描器單元之印表機。
殼體2構成印表機1之外殼。操作面板3係配置於殼體2之外側。操作面板3係於印表機1中,配置於配置有排紙部4之側之面(正面11)。操作面板3包含電源按鈕7、或顯示面板8等。另,作為顯示面板8,例如可採用觸控面板等之可受理使用者之輸入之面板。又,亦可設為可調整操作面板3之傾斜(亦稱為傾角調整)之構造。若可調整操作面板3之傾斜,則使用者可以期望之傾斜觀察或操作操作面板3,故提高便利性。
排紙部4係設置於殼體2之與操作面板3相同之側之面。於印表機1中,自排紙部4排出記錄媒體P(參照圖3)。於印表機1中,將設置排紙部4之面設為正面11。印表機1之正面11亦為殼體2之正面11。於本實施例中,操作面板3之外表面及排紙部4之外端部之Y軸方向之位置係與殼體2之正面11之外表面之Y軸方向之位置大致相同。
殼體2具有與正面11交叉之上表面12、以及與正面11及上表面12交叉之側壁13及側壁14。於正面觀察正面11時,即自+Y方向側俯視正面11時,側壁13位於正面11之+X方向側,側壁14位於正面11之-X方向側。殼體2中之操作面板3及排紙部4之+X方向側(正面11與側壁13之角落側)之部分較設置有操作面板3及排紙部4之部分更朝+Y方向側突出。
作為可視認構件之透明罩蓋5係設置於殼體2之正面11側。透明罩蓋5係配置於殼體2中之較設置有操作面板3及排紙部4之部分更朝+Y方向側突出之部分。因此,透明罩蓋5係配置於在X軸方向中較操作面板3及排紙部4更靠近側壁13側(+X方向側)、且於Y軸方向中較操作面板3及排紙部4更近前側(+Y方向側)。
透明罩蓋5具有沿著正面11(XZ平面)之面。雖省略詳細之圖示,但於殼體2之配置有透明罩蓋5之部分設置有開口部,以不蓋住該開口部之方式,藉由例如接著劑等將透明罩蓋5貼附於殼體2之壁面。因此,可防止透明罩蓋5自殼體2意外脫離。另,將透明罩蓋5固定於殼體2之方法並非限定於接著,亦可採用焊接或嵌合等其他之固定方法。
透明罩蓋5係由具有透光性之樹脂材料形成。藉由以樹脂材料形成透明罩蓋5,與以玻璃等形成之情形相比,可更容易地進行加工,故可降低生產成本。
蓋6係設置於殼體2之正面11側。蓋6係配置於較殼體2中之設置有操作面板3及排紙部4之部分更朝+Y方向側突出之部分之透明罩蓋5之上方側(+Z方向側)。
蓋6係構成為相對於殼體2可開閉。更具體而言,蓋6係構成為可於圖1以箭頭所示之R1方向轉動。R1方向係相當於以沿著X軸之軸為旋轉軸,自+X方向側俯視YZ平面時順時針之方向。藉由使蓋6相對於殼體2於R1方向轉動,可使蓋6相對於殼體2打開。藉由使蓋6自打開蓋6之狀態朝於R1相反方向轉動,可使蓋6相對於殼體2關閉。
罩蓋9與罩蓋10分別構成殼體2之一部分。罩蓋9與罩蓋10係設置於殼體2之上表面12。罩蓋9係設置於上表面12中之-Y方向側之一端。罩蓋10位於罩蓋9之+Y方向側。
罩蓋9係構成為可與蓋6同樣於R1方向轉動。藉由使罩蓋9相對於殼體2於R1方向轉動,可使罩蓋9相對於殼體2打開。藉由使罩蓋9自打開罩蓋9之狀態於與R1方向相反方向轉動,可使罩蓋9相對於殼體2關閉。如此,罩蓋9構成為可相對於殼體2開閉。
若罩蓋9相對於殼體2打開,則露出供紙部(未圖示)。可自供紙部將記錄媒體P供給至印表機1。於自供紙部將記錄媒體P供給至印表機1時,可以罩蓋9支承記錄媒體P。即,罩蓋9包含紙支架之功能。
罩蓋10覆蓋掃描器單元(未圖示)。罩蓋10係構成為可與蓋6同樣於R1方向轉動。藉由使罩蓋10相對於殼體2於R1方向轉動,可使罩蓋10相對於殼體2打開。藉由使罩蓋10自打開罩蓋10之狀態於與R1方向相反之方向轉動,可使罩蓋10相對於殼體2關閉。如此,罩蓋10係構成為可相對於殼體2開閉。
若罩蓋10相對於殼體2打開,則掃描器單元露出。掃描器單元係平台類型,具有影像感測器等之攝像元件(未圖示)。掃描器單元可將記錄於用紙等之媒體之圖像等經由攝像元件作為圖像資料而讀取。因此,掃描器單元作為圖像等之讀取裝置而發揮功能。
於X軸方向中,殼體2之長度與罩蓋10之長度大致相同。於Y軸方向中,殼體2之設置有操作面板3之位置之長度與罩蓋10之長度大致相同,但殼體2之設置有透明罩蓋5及蓋6之位置之長度較罩蓋10之長度更長。
因此,於自+X方向側俯視印表機1之上表面12時,罩蓋10與殼體2中之朝+Y方向側突出之部分以外重疊。即,自+X方向側俯視印表機1之上表面12時,設置於殼體2中之朝+Y方向側突出之部分之透明罩蓋5及蓋6係以不與罩蓋10重疊之方式配置。藉此,於將蓋6相對於殼體2而於R1方向轉動時,不會被罩蓋10阻礙而使蓋6可轉動。
說明印表機1之殼體2內部之主要構成。圖3係顯示實施例1之印表機之主要構成之立體圖。如圖3所示,印表機1具有作為記錄部之記錄頭15、控制部16、槽單元20。記錄頭15、控制部16、槽單元20係收納於殼體2。
記錄頭15將墨水以墨水滴而噴出(噴射),對記錄媒體P進行記錄。記錄頭15對以搬送裝置(未圖示)於Y方向搬送之記錄媒體P以墨水進行記錄。另,搬送裝置將記錄用紙等之記錄媒體P於+Y方向間歇性搬送。記錄頭15係構成為可藉由移動裝置(未圖示)沿著X軸往返移動。控制部16控制上述之各構成之驅動。
槽單元20係配置於殼體2中之較操作面板3及排紙部4更朝+Y方向側突出之部分(參照圖1及圖2)之內側。因此,槽單元20於X軸方向中位於操作面板3及排紙部4與側壁13之間。以其他之觀點,於正面觀察印表機1時,即自+Y方向側觀察印表機1時,槽單元20係配置於透明罩蓋5(參照圖1及圖2)之內側(-Y方向側)。
於本實施例中,槽單元20包含4個槽21。另,槽單元20之槽21之個數並非限定於4個,亦可設為低於4個之個數、或超過4個之個數。於本實施例中,亦可將4個槽21沿著X軸並列而配置。
又,於本實施例中,互相以獨立個體構成複數個槽21。然而,槽21之構成並非限定於此。亦可將複數個槽21設為一體而將槽單元20設為一個液體收容體之構成。於此種構成之情形時,槽單元20係構成為劃分為彼此個別之槽21而可收容不同種類之液體。於該情形時,例如可於複數個槽21,個別地收容不同之色之墨水。
於槽21收納有墨水。於槽21形成有作為注入口之液體注入口22。於槽21中,可經由液體注入口22自槽21之外部向槽21之內部注入墨水。另,亦可將液體注入口22設為以帽蓋(未圖示)密封之構成。於此種構成之情形時,使用者於向槽21注入墨水時可打開帽蓋開放液體注入口22之後注入墨水。
於本實施例中,液體注入口22係作為於位於槽21之+Z方向側之注入面23形成之開口而構成。且,於本實施例中,於印表機1之使用姿勢中,注入面23傾斜。注入面23隨著自+Y方向側朝向-Y方向側而朝向+Z方向側傾斜。因此,注入面23朝向與鉛直方向交叉之方向。
若注入面23朝向與鉛直方向交叉之方向,則於注入面23不易堆積塵埃等之異物。因此,不易在注入面23附著塵埃等之異物。藉此,易於避免塵埃等之異物侵入至液體注入口22。另,槽21之構成並非限定於上述。作為槽21之構成亦可設為例如設置自槽21之外形面突出之管狀之液體注入部之構成。
槽21係至少一部分以具有透光性之構件構成。槽21之位於+Y方向之視認面24具有透光性,可自視認面24視認槽21內之墨水之收納量。於視認面24附加有例如上限標記25、下限標記26等。使用者可將上限標記25及下限標記26設為記號而掌握槽21中之墨水量。
另,上限標記25係表示於自液體注入口22注入墨水時不會自液體注入口22溢出之墨水量之標準者。又,下限標記26係表示催促墨水之注入時之墨水量之標準者。亦可設為設置上限標記25及下限標記26之任一者之構成。
槽21具有與注入面23及視認面24交叉之側面27及側面28。於自+Y方向側觀察槽21之視認面24時,側面27位於殼體2之側壁13側(+X方向側),側面28位於殼體2之側壁14側(-X方向側)。
於各槽21,連接有墨水供給管17。槽21內之墨水係經由墨水供給管17而供給至記錄頭15。且,供給至記錄頭15之墨水係以墨水滴自朝向記錄媒體P側之噴嘴(未圖示)噴出。
墨水並非係限定於水性墨水與油性墨水之任意一者者。又,作為水性墨水,亦可為具有於水性溶劑溶解染料等之溶質之構成者、具有於水性分散介質分散顏料等之分散質之構成之任一者。又,作為油性墨水,亦可為具有於油性溶劑溶解染料等之溶質之構成者、具有於油性分散介質分散顏料等之分散質之構成者之任意一者。
槽單元20(4個槽21)係於自+Y方向側俯視印表機1之正面11時,設置於與圖1及圖2所示之透明罩蓋5重疊之位置。因此,即使槽21之表面不露出至外部,使用者亦可自印表機1之外部透過透明罩蓋5而視認槽21。且,使用者可自印表機1之外部,以上限標記25及下限標記26為記號而掌握槽21中之墨水量。
又,藉由透明罩蓋5,可防止自印表機1(殼體2)之外部向槽21侵入塵埃、因自外部之接觸等所致之槽單元20之損傷。因此,與槽21之表面露出至外部之情形相比,可抑制因來自外部之塵埃或損傷等所致之對視認性之不良影響。另,由於槽21係配置於殼體2之突出之部分之內部,故可抑制殼體2之寬度(X軸方向之長度)且增大槽21之容量。
於對槽21補充墨水時,如圖1及圖2所示使蓋6相對於殼體2而於R1方向轉動,使蓋6相對於殼體2打開。藉此,自蓋6打開之部分露出各槽21之一部分(注入面23)。使用者可於蓋6相對於殼體2打開之狀態下,經由液體注入口22,自印表機1之外部向槽21之內部注入墨水。於補充墨水後,若關閉蓋6,則以蓋6覆蓋液體注入口22。
(實施例2)
圖4及圖5係顯示實施例2之印表機之外觀之立體圖。詳細而言,圖4係自+X方向側觀察實施例2之印表機1A之立體圖,圖5係自-X方向觀察之立體圖。如圖4及圖5所示,實施例2之印表機1A具有殼體2A、操作面板3、排紙部4、透明罩蓋5A、蓋6、罩蓋9、及罩蓋10。
實施例2之印表機1A與實施例1之印表機1相比,不同處在於相對於殼體2A透明罩蓋5A及蓋6係配置於X軸方向之相反側、透明罩蓋5A係構成為可相對於殼體2A開閉。此處,針對實施例2之印表機1A之構成,說明與實施例1之不同點,對與實施例1相同之構成要素標註相同之符號且省略其說明。另,對以後之各實施例,亦說明與前列之實施例之不同點且針對相同之構成要素標註相同符號而省略其說明。
於自+Y方向側觀察印表機1A之正面11時,殼體2A中之操作面板3及排紙部4之-X方向側(側壁14側)之部分較設置有操作面板3及排紙部4之部分更朝+Y方向側突出。透明罩蓋5A及蓋6係配置於殼體2A中之操作面板3及排紙部4之-X方向側(側壁14側)且較設置有操作面板3及排紙部4之部分更向+Y方向側突出之部分。即,於印表機1A中,相對於實施例1之印表機1,將槽單元20(參照圖3)配置於X軸方向之相反側(側壁14側)。
透明罩蓋5A係於蓋6相對於殼體2打開之狀態下,構成為可相對於殼體2開閉。更具體而言,透明罩蓋5A係安裝為可於圖4以箭頭所示之R2方向轉動。R2方向係相當於以沿著X軸之軸為旋轉軸,自+X方向側俯視YZ平面時逆時針之方向。藉由使透明罩蓋5A相對於殼體2而於R2方向轉動,可使透明罩蓋5A相對於殼體2而朝前側(+Y方向側)打開。藉此,除了各槽21之注入面23(參照圖3)以外,視認面24(參照圖3)亦露出。
於印表機1A中,於對槽21補充墨水時,使蓋6相對於殼體2於R1方向轉動打開後,相對於殼體2使透明罩蓋5A於R2方向轉動而打開。藉由使透明罩蓋5A自打開透明罩蓋5A之狀態於與R2相反方向轉動,可使透明罩蓋5A相對於殼體2而關閉。於蓋6未打開之狀態下,可藉由蓋6抑制透明罩蓋5A之轉動。藉此,可防止透明罩蓋5A意外轉動而打開。
(實施例3)
圖6及圖7係顯示實施例3之印表機之外觀之立體圖。詳細而言,圖6係自+X方向側觀察實施例3之印表機1B之立體圖,圖7係自-X方向側觀察之立體圖。如圖6及圖7所示,實施例3之印表機1B具有殼體2、操作面板3、排紙部4A、透明罩蓋5、蓋6、罩蓋9、及罩蓋10。
實施例3之印表機1B相對於實施例1之印表機1之不同處在於排紙部4A之外端部位於操作面板3之外表面及殼體2之正面11之外表面更朝+Y方向側。於印表機1B中,排紙部4A之外端部係於Y軸方向配置於與透明罩蓋5及蓋6大致相同之位置。透明罩蓋5及蓋6係配置於殼體2之側壁13側。
於補充墨水時,使蓋6相對於殼體2於圖6所示之R1方向轉動,使蓋6相對於殼體2打開。另,於實施例3中,亦與實施例2同樣地,設為透明罩蓋5(5A)可相對於殼體2A開閉之構成。
(實施例4)
圖8及圖9係顯示實施例4之印表機之外觀之立體圖。詳細而言,圖8係自+X方向觀察實施例4之印表機1C之立體圖,圖9係自-X方向觀察之立體圖。如圖8及圖9所示,實施例4之印表機1C具有殼體2A、操作面板3、排紙部4A、透明罩蓋5、蓋6、罩蓋9、及罩蓋10。
實施例4之印表機1C與實施例3之印表機1B相比,不同處在於透明罩蓋5及蓋6係相對於殼體2A而配置於X軸方向之相反側(側壁14側)。於補充墨水時,使蓋6相對於殼體2A如圖8所示於R1方向轉動,使蓋6相對於殼體2A打開。另,於實施例4中,亦與實施例2同樣地,設為透明罩蓋5(5A)可相對於殼體2A開閉之構成。
(實施例5)
圖10及圖11係顯示實施例5之印表機之外觀之立體圖。詳細而言,圖10係自+X方向側觀察實施例5之印表機30之立體圖,圖11係自-X方向側觀察之立體圖。如圖10及圖11所示,實施例5之印表機30具有殼體31、操作面板3、排紙部4、透明罩蓋32、蓋33、覆蓋供紙部(未圖示)之罩蓋34、及覆蓋掃描器單元(未圖示)之罩蓋35。
實施例5之印表機30相對於實施例1之印表機1,不同處在於X軸方向之殼體31之長度較罩蓋35之長度長。蓋33與上述之各實施例同樣地,構成為可於如圖10以箭頭所示之R1方向轉動。罩蓋35係構成為與蓋33同樣可於R1方向轉動。
於印表機30中,X軸方向之殼體31之長度較罩蓋35之長度長,且殼體31之側壁13較罩蓋35之+X方向側之端部位於更朝+X方向側。更具體而言,殼體31中之較操作面板3及排紙部4更朝+Y方向突出之部分,即收納槽單元20(參照圖3)之部分之X軸方向之長度與上述之各實施例之殼體相比更長。因此,與上述各實施例相比,可增多收納於殼體31之內部之槽21(參照圖3)之數量。又,伴隨於此,透明罩蓋32及蓋33之X軸方向之長度與上述之各實施例相比亦更長。
蓋33係構成為可相對於殼體31於圖10以箭頭所示之R1方向轉動。於自+Z方向側俯視印表機30之上表面12時,罩蓋35與蓋33之一部分重疊。因此,蓋33成為於罩蓋35相對於殼體31打開之狀態下,可相對於殼體31開閉之構成。
於對印表機30之槽21補充墨水時,使罩蓋35相對於殼體31於R1方向轉動而打開後,使蓋33相對於殼體31於R1方向轉動而打開。藉此,可防止蓋33意外轉動而打開。另,於實施例5中,與實施例2同樣地,亦可設為透明罩蓋32可相對於殼體31開閉地安裝之構成。
(實施例6)
圖12及圖13係顯示實施例6之印表機之外觀之立體圖。詳細而言,圖12係自+X方向側觀察實施例6之印表機30A之立體圖,圖13係自-X方向側觀察之立體圖。如圖12及圖13所示,實施例6之印表機30A具有殼體36、操作面板3、排紙部4、透明罩蓋32、蓋33、覆蓋供紙部(未圖示)之罩蓋37、及覆蓋掃描器單元(未圖示)之罩蓋38。
於實施例6之印表機30A中,與實施例5同樣地,殼體36中之較操作面板3及排紙部4更朝+Y方向側突出之部分之X軸方向之長度與自實施例1至實施例4之殼體相比更長。因此,成為可增多收納於殼體36之內部之槽21(參照圖3)之數量之構成。
於自+Z方向側俯視印表機30A之上表面12時,罩蓋38與蓋33之一部分重疊。因此,於對印表機30A之槽21(參照圖3)補充墨水時,使罩蓋38相對於殼體36於R1方向轉動而打開後,使蓋33相對於殼體36於圖12以箭頭所示之R1方向轉動而打開。另,於實施例6中,亦與實施例2同樣地,設為將透明罩蓋32可相對於殼體36開閉地安裝之構成。
(實施例7)
圖14及圖15係顯示實施例7之印表機之外觀之立體圖。詳細而言,圖14係自+X方向側觀察實施例7之印表機40之立體圖,圖15係自-X方向側觀察之立體圖。如圖14及圖15所示,實施例7之印表機40具有殼體41、操作面板3、透明罩蓋5、蓋6、自動送稿裝置42、及供排紙部43。
實施例7之印表機40相對於實施例3之印表機1B,不同處在於具備自動送稿裝置42。自動送稿裝置42包含掃描器單元。藉由自動送稿裝置42,可一面逐張使層疊之複數張原稿(記錄有圖像等之用紙)反轉一面依序送給,由掃描器單元讀取。
自動送稿裝置42係構成為可相對於殼體41而轉動,具有作為印表機40之蓋之功能。自動送稿裝置42係構成為可於圖14以箭頭所示之R3方向轉動之構成。R3方向係相當於以沿著Y軸之軸為旋轉軸,自+Y方向側俯視XZ平面時逆時針之方向。
藉由使自動送稿裝置42相對於殼體41於R3方向轉動,可使自動送稿裝置42相對於殼體41打開。藉由自打開自動送稿裝置42之狀態使其於與R3方向相反方向轉動,可使自動送稿裝置42相對於殼體41關閉。
供排紙部43係設置於殼體41中與操作面板3相同之正面11側。於印表機40中,自供排紙部43供給記錄媒體P(參照圖3),於印刷後,由供排紙部43排紙。透明罩蓋5及蓋6係設置於殼體41之正面11,且配置於操作面板3及供排紙部43之+X方向側(側壁13側)。
於印表機40中,對槽21(參照圖3)補充墨水時,使自動送稿裝置42相對於殼體41於R3方向轉動打開後,使蓋6相對於殼體41於R1方向轉動而打開。於未打開自動送稿裝置42之狀態下,抑制蓋6之轉動。
(實施例8)
圖16及圖17係顯示實施例8之印表機之外觀之立體圖。詳細而言,圖16係自+X方向側觀察實施例8之印表機40A之立體圖,圖17係自-X方向側觀察之立體圖。如圖16及圖17所示,實施例8之印表機40A具有殼體41A、操作面板3、透明罩蓋5、蓋6、自動送稿裝置44、供排紙部43。
實施例8之印表機40A與實施例7之印表機40相比,不同處在於相對於殼體41A透明罩蓋5係配置於X軸方向之相反側、及自動送稿裝置44於順時針方向轉動。
透明罩蓋5及蓋6係設置於殼體41A之正面11,且配置於操作面板3及供排紙部43之-X方向側(側壁14側)。即,於印表機40A中,相對於實施例7之印表機40,槽單元20(參照圖3)係配置於X軸方向之相反側(側壁14側)。
自動送稿裝置44係構成為可於圖16以箭頭所示之R4方向轉動。R4方向係相當於以沿著Y軸之軸為旋轉軸,於自+Y方向側俯視XZ平面時順時針之方向。藉由於打開自動送稿裝置44之狀態使其於相反方向轉動,可使自動送稿裝置44相對於殼體41A關閉。
(實施例9)
於本實施例以後之各實施例中,主要說明透明罩蓋之構成之特徵,對其他之構成要素省略詳細之圖示及其說明。圖18及圖19係顯示實施例9之印表機之外觀之立體圖。詳細而言,圖18係自+X方向側觀察實施例9之印表機46之立體圖,圖19係自-X方向側觀察之立體圖。如圖18及圖19所示,實施例9之印表機46具有殼體47及透明罩蓋48。
透明罩蓋48係配置於殼體47之正面11之+X方向側(側壁13側)。透明罩蓋48具有沿著正面11側之XZ平面之面、及沿著與該面之X軸方向之兩側連接之2個YZ平面之面。於透明罩蓋48中之沿著YZ平面之2個面之各者之面積小於沿著正面11側之XZ平面之面之面積。沿著YZ平面之2個面中之-Y方向側且+Z方向側之角落形成為圓狀。透明罩蓋48係構成為可於圖18以箭頭所示之R2方向轉動,於補充墨水時可相對於殼體47向近前側(+Y方向側)開閉。
(實施例10)
圖20及圖21係顯示實施例10之印表機之外觀之立體圖。詳細而言,圖20係自+X方向側觀察實施例10之印表機46A之立體圖,圖21係自-X方向側觀察之立體圖。如圖20及圖21所示,實施例10之印表機46A具有殼體47A及透明罩蓋49。實施例10之印表機46A與實施例9之印表機46相比,不同處在於透明罩蓋49係相對於殼體47A而配置於X軸方向之相反側。
透明罩蓋49係配置於殼體47A之正面11之-X方向側(側壁14側)。透明罩蓋49中之沿著YZ平面之2個面中之-Y方向側且+Z方向側之角落成為角部。透明罩蓋49係構成為可於圖20以箭頭所示之R2方向轉動,且於補充墨水時可相對於殼體47A向近前側(+Y方向側)開閉。

Embodiments will be described taking an inkjet printer (hereinafter referred to as a printer) as an example of a recording device as an example. The printer of this embodiment can print on recording media such as recording paper using ink as an example of liquid. In the printer of the present embodiment, examples are prepared in which the basic configuration is common, but the casings constituting the casing of the printer are different. Hereinafter, various examples of this embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings. In addition, in each drawing, in order to make each structure into the magnitude|size which can be recognized, the scale of a structure or a member may differ. In addition, components other than those necessary for the description may be omitted. (Embodiment 1) Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 are perspective views showing the appearance of the printer of Embodiment 1. In Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, coordinate axes that are orthogonal to each other are marked as XYZ axes. For the diagrams shown thereafter, the XYZ axes are also marked as necessary. In each example of this embodiment, the state in which the printer 1 is arranged on a horizontal plane (XY plane) defined by the X-axis and the Y-axis is the use state of the printer 1 . The posture of the printer 1 when the printer 1 is arranged on the XY plane is referred to as the usage posture of the printer 1 . The Z axis is the axis perpendicular to the horizontal plane. When the printer 1 is in use, the direction along the Z-axis becomes the vertical direction. In addition, in the state of use of the printer 1 , in FIGS. 1 and 2 , the -Z direction is the vertically downward direction. In addition, in each of the XYZ axes, the direction of the arrow shows a + (positive) direction, and the direction opposite to the direction of the arrow shows a - (negative) direction. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the printer 1 viewed from the side in the +X direction. FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the printer 1 viewed from the -X direction side. As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the printer 1 of Embodiment 1 has a housing 2, an operation panel 3, a paper discharge section 4 as a discharge section, a transparent cover 5 as a visible member, a cover 6, and a cover. 9. Cover 10. Also, the printer 1 includes a scanner unit (not shown). That is, the printer 1 is a multifunctional machine including a scanner unit. In addition, the printer 1 can also be a printer that does not include a scanner unit instead of a multifunction machine. The casing 2 constitutes the casing of the printer 1 . The operation panel 3 is disposed outside the casing 2 . The operation panel 3 is disposed on the side (front 11 ) of the printer 1 on which the paper discharge unit 4 is disposed. The operation panel 3 includes a power button 7, a display panel 8, and the like. In addition, as the display panel 8 , for example, a panel that can accept user's input, such as a touch panel, can be used. Moreover, it is also possible to adopt a structure in which the inclination of the operation panel 3 can be adjusted (also referred to as inclination adjustment). If the inclination of the operation panel 3 can be adjusted, the user can observe or operate the operation panel 3 at a desired inclination, thereby improving convenience. The paper discharge unit 4 is provided on the surface of the casing 2 on the same side as the operation panel 3 . In the printer 1, the recording medium P is discharged from the paper discharge unit 4 (see FIG. 3 ). In the printer 1 , the surface on which the paper discharge unit 4 is installed is referred to as the front surface 11 . The front 11 of the printer 1 is also the front 11 of the housing 2 . In this embodiment, the positions in the Y-axis direction of the outer surface of the operation panel 3 and the outer end of the paper discharge unit 4 are substantially the same as the positions in the Y-axis direction of the outer surface of the front surface 11 of the casing 2 . The housing 2 has an upper surface 12 intersecting the front 11 , and side walls 13 and 14 intersecting the front 11 and the upper surface 12 . When the front 11 is viewed from the front, that is, when the front 11 is viewed from the +Y direction side, the side wall 13 is located on the +X direction side of the front 11 , and the side wall 14 is located on the −X direction side of the front 11 . The portion of the operation panel 3 and the paper discharge unit 4 on the +X direction side (the corner side between the front surface 11 and the side wall 13 ) of the housing 2 protrudes more toward the +Y direction side than the portion where the operation panel 3 and the paper discharge unit 4 are provided. The transparent cover 5 as a visible component is arranged on the front side 11 of the casing 2 . The transparent cover 5 is a portion disposed in the casing 2 that protrudes further toward the +Y direction side than a portion where the operation panel 3 and the paper discharge unit 4 are provided. Therefore, the transparent cover 5 is disposed closer to the side wall 13 (+X direction side) than the operation panel 3 and the paper discharge unit 4 in the X-axis direction, and closer to the operation panel 3 and the paper discharge unit 4 in the Y-axis direction. Near side (+Y direction side). The transparent cover 5 has a face along the front face 11 (XZ plane). Although detailed illustrations are omitted, an opening is provided in the portion of the casing 2 where the transparent cover 5 is disposed, and the transparent cover 5 is attached to the opening by, for example, an adhesive or the like so as not to cover the opening. The wall of the housing 2. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the transparent cover 5 from being accidentally detached from the housing 2 . In addition, the method of fixing the transparent cover 5 to the casing 2 is not limited to bonding, and other fixing methods such as welding or fitting may also be used. The transparent cover 5 is formed of a translucent resin material. By forming the transparent cover 5 from a resin material, it can be processed more easily than when it is formed from glass or the like, so that the production cost can be reduced. The cover 6 is arranged on the front side 11 of the casing 2 . The cover 6 is arranged on the upper side (+Z direction side) of the transparent cover 5 at a portion protruding to the +Y direction side than the portion of the casing 2 where the operation panel 3 and the paper discharge unit 4 are provided. The cover 6 is configured to be openable and closable with respect to the casing 2 . More specifically, the cover 6 is configured to be rotatable in the R1 direction indicated by the arrow in FIG. 1 . The R1 direction corresponds to the clockwise direction when viewing the YZ plane from the +X direction side with the axis along the X axis as the rotation axis. By rotating the cover 6 relative to the case 2 in the R1 direction, the cover 6 can be opened relative to the case 2 . The cover 6 can be closed relative to the housing 2 by turning the cover 6 in the opposite direction to R1 from the state where the cover 6 is opened. The cover 9 and the cover 10 respectively constitute a part of the casing 2 . The cover 9 and the cover 10 are disposed on the upper surface 12 of the casing 2 . The cover 9 is disposed at one end of the upper surface 12 on the -Y direction side. The cover 10 is located on the +Y direction side of the cover 9 . The cover 9 is configured to be rotatable in the R1 direction similarly to the cover 6 . By rotating the cover 9 relative to the housing 2 in the R1 direction, the cover 9 can be opened relative to the housing 2 . The cover 9 can be closed relative to the casing 2 by turning the cover 9 in the direction opposite to the R1 direction from the state where the cover 9 is opened. In this way, the cover 9 is configured to be openable and closable with respect to the case 2 . When the cover 9 is opened with respect to the casing 2, a paper feeding unit (not shown) is exposed. The recording medium P can be supplied to the printer 1 from a paper supply unit. The recording medium P can be supported by the cover 9 when the recording medium P is supplied to the printer 1 from the paper supply unit. That is, the cover 9 has the function of a paper holder. The cover 10 covers the scanner unit (not shown). The cover 10 is configured to be rotatable in the R1 direction similarly to the cover 6 . By rotating the cover 10 relative to the housing 2 in the R1 direction, the cover 10 can be opened relative to the housing 2 . The cover 10 can be closed relative to the casing 2 by turning the cover 10 in the direction opposite to the R1 direction from the state where the cover 10 is opened. In this way, the cover 10 is configured to be openable and closable with respect to the casing 2 . When the cover 10 is opened with respect to the housing 2, the scanner unit is exposed. The scanner unit is a platform type, and has imaging elements such as image sensors (not shown). The scanner unit can read an image or the like recorded on a medium such as paper as image data via an imaging device. Therefore, the scanner unit functions as a reading device for images and the like. In the X-axis direction, the length of the casing 2 is approximately the same as the length of the cover 10 . In the Y-axis direction, the length of the position where the operation panel 3 is provided on the housing 2 is approximately the same as the length of the cover 10, but the length of the position where the transparent cover 5 and cover 6 are provided on the housing 2 is longer than that of the cover 10. The length is longer. Therefore, when the upper surface 12 of the printer 1 is viewed from the side in the +X direction, the cover 10 overlaps except the portion protruding to the +Y direction side of the housing 2 . That is, when the upper surface 12 of the printer 1 is viewed from the +X direction side, the transparent cover 5 and the cover 6 provided in the casing 2 protruding toward the +Y direction side are arranged so as not to overlap with the cover 10 . Thereby, when the cover 6 is rotated in the R1 direction relative to the housing 2 , the cover 6 can be rotated without being hindered by the cover 10 . The main components inside the casing 2 of the printer 1 will be described. FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing the main components of the printer of Embodiment 1. FIG. As shown in FIG. 3 , the printer 1 has a recording head 15 as a recording unit, a control unit 16 , and a tank unit 20 . The recording head 15 , the control unit 16 , and the tank unit 20 are housed in the casing 2 . The recording head 15 ejects (ejects) ink as ink droplets to record on the recording medium P. As shown in FIG. The recording head 15 records with ink on the recording medium P conveyed in the Y direction by a conveyance device (not shown). In addition, the transport device intermittently transports the recording medium P such as recording paper in the +Y direction. The recording head 15 is configured to be reciprocated along the X-axis by a moving device (not shown). The control unit 16 controls the driving of each of the above-mentioned components. The chute unit 20 is disposed inside the portion of the casing 2 that protrudes toward the +Y direction side (see FIGS. 1 and 2 ) rather than the operation panel 3 and the paper discharge unit 4 . Therefore, the trough unit 20 is located between the operation panel 3 and the paper discharge unit 4 and the side wall 13 in the X-axis direction. From another point of view, when the printer 1 is viewed from the front, that is, when the printer 1 is viewed from the side of the +Y direction, the tank unit 20 is arranged on the inner side (-Y direction) of the transparent cover 5 (refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 ). side). In this embodiment, the tank unit 20 includes four tanks 21 . In addition, the number of tanks 21 of the tank unit 20 is not limited to four, and may be less than four or more than four. In this embodiment, four grooves 21 may be arranged in parallel along the X-axis. In addition, in this embodiment, a plurality of grooves 21 are formed independently of each other. However, the configuration of the groove 21 is not limited thereto. A plurality of tanks 21 may be integrated and the tank unit 20 may be configured as a single liquid container. In the case of such a configuration, the tank unit 20 is divided into separate tanks 21 to accommodate different types of liquids. In this case, for example, inks of different colors can be individually accommodated in a plurality of tanks 21 . Ink is stored in the tank 21 . A liquid injection port 22 serving as an injection port is formed in the groove 21 . In the groove 21 , ink can be injected from the outside of the groove 21 to the inside of the groove 21 through the liquid injection port 22 . In addition, the liquid injection port 22 may also be configured to be sealed with a cap (not shown). In the case of such a configuration, when injecting ink into the tank 21, the user can open the cap to open the liquid injection port 22 and then inject ink. In this embodiment, the liquid injection port 22 is configured as an opening formed on the injection surface 23 located on the +Z direction side of the groove 21 . Also, in this embodiment, the injection surface 23 is inclined in the usage posture of the printer 1 . The injection surface 23 is inclined toward the +Z direction side from the +Y direction side toward the −Y direction side. Therefore, the injection surface 23 is oriented in a direction intersecting the vertical direction. If the injection surface 23 is oriented in a direction intersecting the vertical direction, foreign matter such as dust is less likely to accumulate on the injection surface 23 . Therefore, foreign matter such as dust is less likely to adhere to the injection surface 23 . This makes it easy to prevent foreign matter such as dust from entering the liquid injection port 22 . In addition, the configuration of the groove 21 is not limited to the above. The configuration of the groove 21 may be, for example, a configuration in which a tubular liquid injection portion protruding from the outer surface of the groove 21 is provided. The groove 21 is at least partially formed of a light-transmitting member. The viewing surface 24 of the groove 21 located in the +Y direction has light transmission, and the storage volume of ink in the groove 21 can be viewed from the viewing surface 24 . For example, an upper limit mark 25 , a lower limit mark 26 , and the like are attached to the viewing surface 24 . The user can set the upper limit mark 25 and the lower limit mark 26 as marks to grasp the amount of ink in the tank 21 . In addition, the upper limit mark 25 is a standard indicating the amount of ink that does not overflow from the liquid injection port 22 when ink is injected from the liquid injection port 22 . Also, the lower limit mark 26 is a standard for indicating the amount of ink at the time of prompting the injection of ink. Either one of the upper limit mark 25 and the lower limit mark 26 may be provided. The groove 21 has a side surface 27 and a side surface 28 intersecting the injection surface 23 and the viewing surface 24 . When the viewing surface 24 of the groove 21 is viewed from the +Y direction side, the side surface 27 is located on the side wall 13 of the casing 2 (+X direction side), and the side surface 28 is located on the side wall 14 side of the casing 2 (-X direction side). An ink supply tube 17 is connected to each tank 21 . The ink in the tank 21 is supplied to the recording head 15 through the ink supply tube 17 . And, the ink supplied to the recording head 15 is ejected as ink droplets from nozzles (not shown) facing the recording medium P side. Ink is not limited to either water-based ink or oil-based ink. In addition, as the water-based ink, any one having a structure in which a solute such as a dye is dissolved in an aqueous solvent, or a structure in which a dispersoid such as a pigment is dispersed in an aqueous dispersion medium may be used. Also, the oil ink may be any one of a solute that dissolves a dye in an oily solvent or a dispersoid that disperses a pigment in an oily dispersion medium. The slot unit 20 (four slots 21) is arranged at a position overlapping with the transparent cover 5 shown in FIGS. Therefore, even if the surface of the groove 21 is not exposed to the outside, the user can visually recognize the groove 21 through the transparent cover 5 from the outside of the printer 1 . And, the user can grasp the amount of ink in the tank 21 from the outside of the printer 1 by using the upper limit mark 25 and the lower limit mark 26 as marks. In addition, the transparent cover 5 prevents dust from entering the tank 21 from the outside of the printer 1 (housing 2 ) and damage to the tank unit 20 due to contact from the outside. Therefore, compared with the case where the surface of the groove 21 is exposed to the outside, adverse effects on visibility due to dust or damage from the outside can be suppressed. In addition, since the groove 21 is arranged inside the protruding portion of the housing 2, the width of the housing 2 (the length in the X-axis direction) can be suppressed and the capacity of the groove 21 can be increased. When replenishing ink to the tank 21 , the cover 6 is rotated in the R1 direction relative to the case 2 as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 , and the cover 6 is opened relative to the case 2 . Thereby, a part of each groove 21 (injection surface 23 ) is exposed from the opened part of the cover 6 . The user can inject ink from the outside of the printer 1 into the tank 21 through the liquid injection port 22 when the cover 6 is opened relative to the casing 2 . After replenishing the ink, if the cover 6 is closed, the liquid injection port 22 is covered with the cover 6 .
