technical field

The present invention relates to image reading devices such as scanners, and image forming devices such as scanners, facsimiles, copiers, and the like.

Background technique

JP-A-2003-92651 (hereinafter referred to as document 1) and JP-A-2002-320058 (hereinafter referred to as document 2) disclose a facsimile machine. The facsimile machine includes an operation unit cover provided on the front portion of the upper surface of the main body casing. An operation panel is formed on the surface of the operation unit cover. An image reading unit is provided inside the main body casing, and an inkjet type image recording unit (printer unit) is provided below the image reading unit. The facsimile machine includes: a document cassette on which documents are placed so that the documents are fed to an image reading unit; and a paper feed cassette on which a plurality of sheets of recording paper are placed so that data such as a received image is printed and Record on this recording paper (paper). The document cassette and paper feed cassette are on the main body casing at the rear of the image reading unit. The document cassette and paper feed cassette are disposed substantially parallel to each other and inclined downward toward the front side (ie, inclined upward toward the rear side).

In the above structure, the document that has been read and the recording paper that has been printed are output to the document output box and the recording paper output box, respectively. These boxes are provided on the front surface of the main body casing and are vertically separated from each other.

The facsimile machine includes a transceiver (handset) with a ten-key numeric keypad for a telephone to communicate (make a phone call) with a remote fax machine or telephone. The earpiece is placed and placed on a bracket which is arranged on one side of the main body casing (housing) so that the longitudinal direction of the earpiece is substantially parallel to the longitudinal direction of the main body casing.

JP-A-2003-158592 (hereinafter referred to as document 3) discloses a facsimile machine including a paper feed cassette capable of being inserted into a lower portion thereof from the front of a main body. In this facsimile machine, paper printed in a recording unit (not shown) is output to a recording paper output stacker protruding rearward from the rear of the main body. In such a facsimile machine, a document cassette is provided upstream of a recording paper output stacker, and documents that have been read while passing through a reading unit are output toward the main body.

However, in the case where the document cassette and paper feed cassette are inclined backward as described in Documents 1 and 2, particularly the upper end portion of the cassette is located behind the rear surface of the main body casing. Therefore, in order to arrange the box in the correct backward tilted position where the rear side box has its function, it is necessary to keep a large space (dead space) between the main body casing and the wall surface of the room. That is, even when the main body casing is formed compactly, a large space is necessary when the image recording apparatus (the facsimile machine) is in use.

In Patent Document 3, the recording paper is output to the rear of the main body. Therefore, even in this case, a large space is required between the main body casing and the wall of the room.

Furthermore, in the facsimile machines disclosed in Patent Documents 1 to 3, the document cassette and the paper feed cassette are generally formed in a straight line in side view. Thus, when the rearwardly inclined position is employed, the upper end portion of the case is away from the rear surface of the main body housing in side view.

Also, when the image recording apparatus (facsimile machine) is not in use, with the document cassette and paper feed cassette upright, dust is deposited on the surface (upper surface) of each cassette, the surface of the operation panel, the document reading unit and on the inlet of the paper feed unit. Therefore, when the image recording apparatus is reused, there is also a problem of labor consumption induced by cleaning dust.

The hinge 34 allows the document supply box 33 to rotate in the front-rear direction, so that the document supply box 33 can be freely opened and closed relative to the main body 2 . That is, the document supply box 33 is rotatable about an axis that is substantially parallel to the plane on which the main body 2 is placed and substantially perpendicular to the direction of document conveyance. The document supply cassette 33 includes a first placement surface 33b (first placement portion) and a second placement surface 33c (second placement portion). Each of the first placement surface 33b and the second placement surface 33c is substantially flat. The boundary portion 33a of the document supply cassette 33 between the first placement surface 33b and the second placement surface 33c is curved. The document supply cassette 33 is formed to have an obtuse angle (angle θ3) between the first placement surface 33b and the second placement surface 33c along the direction in which the placement surfaces approach each other. The document supply cassette 33 including the first placement surface 33b and the second placement surface 33c may be integrally formed.

The document feeder 33 is selectively movable between a horizontal position (second position) and an upright position (first position). As shown in FIG. 4 , when the document supply box 33 is in the horizontal position, the document supply box 33 covers the entire upper surface of the operation panel 20 , and the document supply port 29 and the image reader 12 are disposed under the operation panel 20 . As shown in FIGS. 1 and 5 , when the document supply box 33 is in the upright position, the document G can be placed on the document supply box 33 .

The liquid crystal display unit 20b in the operation panel 20 can be observed through a window 33d provided at the center of the document supply box 33. As shown in FIG. This window 33d may be omitted.

In a side sectional view, the document supply cassette 33 is bent at an angle θ3 between the first placement surface 33b and the second placement surface 33c. That is, in the side sectional view, the document supply cassette 33 is bent at an obtuse angle (the angle θ3 is in the range of 120° to 145° or thereabout) at an intermediate position along the direction for conveying the document G. When the main body 2 is viewed from the side, the upper end of the document supply cassette 33 in the upright position is assumed to face forward compared to the rear surface of the main body 2 . The second placement surface 33c is substantially flush with the document conveyance plate 23 when the document supply cassette 33 is in the upright position. The first placement surface 33b is arranged behind the device with respect to the imaginary straight line S.

Even when the document G is placed on the placement surfaces 33b, 33c of the document supply cassette 33 in the upright position, and when the middle portion of the document G bends under its own weight along the feeding direction of the document G, the bending The middle portion of the document supply cassette 33 does not contact the border portion 33a. Therefore, compared with a document supply cassette having a downwardly convex carved shape in a side sectional view, it is possible to reduce resistance (sliding resistance) during conveyance of the supplied document G without requiring the document supply cassette 33 Elongated ribs are provided on the placing surface along the document feeding direction. As shown in FIG. 1 , a pair of side guide plates 35 for guiding respective side edges of the document G are provided on the document conveying plate 23 in the vicinity of the document feeding port 29 .

Although in the embodiment, the "smooth transition type" is adopted between the second placement surface 33c and the document conveying plate 23, other structures may also be adopted as long as the document to be read is transferred from the second placing surface 33c to the document conveying plate 23 teleports smoothly without any hindrance. For example, the surface of the second placement surface 33c and the surface of the document conveyance plate 23 may form a certain angle, thereby facilitating installation, and the formed angle does not hinder the smooth conveyance of the document to be read. On the other hand, among the second placing surface 33c and the document conveying plate 23, one of them may have an arc-shaped surface to better guide the documents, and as long as the lower edge of the second placing surface and the upper edge of the document conveying plate form a satisfying Any required smooth transport structure where the document slides smoothly onto the document transport plate is acceptable. Of course, the lower edge of the second placement surface and the upper edge of the document transfer plate may contact or separate from each other

The earpiece holder 37 is provided in the form of a recess in a side region on the upper surface of the main body 2 (on the side where the document supply cassette 33 is provided). The handset cradle 37 receives a cordless handset (transceiver having operation buttons such as a ten-key numeric keypad) in an upright state. As shown in FIG. 2 , the earpiece bracket 37 is arranged such that when the main body 2 is viewed from the side, the earpiece 36 placed in the upright state in the earpiece bracket 37 is set in comparison with the document supply box 33 in the upright position. into the front (see Figure 2 and Figure 3). A battery charger (not shown) for the handset 36 is provided in the handset cradle 37 .

The rear side of the upper surface of the main body 2 is formed to be inclined downward toward the rear. A space (opening portion) whose size allows the paper conveyance path of the recording unit 7 to be viewed from above is formed at a position rearward from the lateral center of the upper surface of the main body 2 (a position rearward with respect to the position where the document supply cassette 33 is provided) . As shown in FIGS. 5 and 9 , the rear cover 38 used to cover the space is hinged to the main body 2 through a hinge 39 disposed on the upper part of the rear cover 38 . When a paper jam occurs in the paper conveyance path including this recording unit 7, the paper P can be taken out. As shown in FIGS. 6 and 9, the U-shaped paper feed path member 9 is also connected to be detachable from the back side of the main body 2, thereby enabling removal of paper that has been jammed between the paper feed roller 26 and the recording unit 7 (see Figure 6 and Figure 9).

In the standby state and the operating state of the facsimile machine 1, when the document supply box 33 opened from the upper surface of the operation panel 20 is lifted so as to stand upright as shown in FIG. The upper end part is towards the front (see Figure 3). Therefore, the facsimile machine 1 can be operated even when the rear surface of the main body 2 of the facsimile machine 1 is close to a room wall.

As described above, the middle portion of this document supply cassette 33 in the document conveyance direction is bent at an obtuse angle, and the angle θ4 with respect to the horizontal plane (first placement surface 33b) of the upper portion of the document supply cassette 33 in the upright position is approximately 70°. ° (see Figure 5). When documents are placed on the document supply cassette 33, in the case where the document's central portion bends due to its own weight, the curved central portion of the document does not contact the boundary portion 33a in the upper surface of the document supply cassette 33. Therefore, sliding resistance during document feeding is reduced, thus preventing paper jams from occurring. Furthermore, when the upper surface of the operation panel 20 is covered by the linear portion of the document supply cassette 33 in the horizontal position (corresponding to the upper portion of the document supply cassette 33 in the upright position), wherein the linear portion is inclined downward toward the front , the boundary portion 33 a as a bent portion at the middle portion of the document supply cassette 33 prevents waste of space between the operation panel 20 and the document supply cassette 33 .

When viewing the main body 2 from the side, the document supply cassette 33 in the upright position is located behind the earpiece 36 in the upright state. Therefore, when the user picks up the receiver 36 from the receiver cradle 37 or places the receiver 36 on the receiver cradle 37, the user's fingers do not interfere with the side surface of the document supply box 33, so the receiver 36 can be operated smoothly.
