Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a facsimile device. Conventionally, some facsimile devices have a roll of recording paper disposed inside the main body of the device. Operation of time exchange work
This is poor workmanship. Furthermore, in relation to the transmission system, some devices have a transmission system reading unit disposed above the roll of recording paper, but in this case too, it is troublesome to replace the roll of recording paper.

Furthermore, as shown in Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 54-132223, there is a paper roll that can be opened above and used as a document table to facilitate the replacement work. When replacing the recording paper, the opening becomes large, which poses a safety problem, and the thermal head is also opened together with the document table, making it easy to damage the thermal head.

The present invention has been developed in view of the above points, and an object of the present invention is to provide a facsimile device that has good operability in replacing rolled recording paper and excellent stability in the positional relationship between a thermal head and a platen roller. It is something.

The present invention allows only the roll recording paper for the reception recording system to be held by the front cover unit that can be rotated open, making it possible to replace and set the roll recording paper with a light weight and small size. Since the platen roller is attached to the main body of the device, the positional relationship between the two is highly stable, and the separation is maintained by opening the front cover unit, so there is no problem in setting rolled recording paper. This is what I did.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

A screw (144) is provided which is screwed onto the side to secure the platen (129). therefore,
Adjustment of the horizontal inclination of the reading line is performed by moving the left and right brackets (136) of the second mirror α4 in the front and rear directions indicated by the arrows, respectively. That is, the receiving piece (139)
By turning the adjustment screw (132) whose tip is pressed against the bracket (136), the bracket (136) is moved with this receiving piece (139) as a reference and regulated on two sides by the horizontal plane (131) and the vertical plane (132). After determining its position, screw (1
35) to fix it. On the other hand, the optical path angle is adjusted by rotating the left and right platen (129) of 4 to the second mirror about the shaft body (140) as shown by arrow C. i.e. Platan) (129)
is the second mirror 04 installation side (the front side is heavier and the first
In figure 0, it is in a state where it is biased counterclockwise,
It is regulated by an adjustment screw (142), and after adjusting the amount of rotation with this adjustment screw (142), it is fixed in position with respect to the bracket (136) with a screw (144).

The reason for the existence of such adjustment of the second mirror α◆ is that when using a mirror with a constant optical path length, it is possible to
This is a molded mirror, and in the past, this second mirror itself did not exist in some cases.

Figure 11 shows the installation and adjustment of the lens (A) and the CCD (L'/l).The lens (G) is installed inside the lens barrel block (145). The lens barrel block (145) is connected to the lens holder (146) by its threaded portion so as to be freely forward and backward, and is set to be fixed by a fixing ring (147). Support stand (1
33), a support stand (150) having two regulating surfaces, a horizontal plane (148) and a vertical plane (149), is provided, and the lens holder (146) is movable in the front-rear direction on this support stand (150). It is attached by a screw (152) via an elongated part (151) along the front-rear direction so that it can be adjusted. Also, a bent piece (154) to which an adjustment screw (153) is attached is formed at one end of this lens holder (146), and receives the tip of the adjustment screw (153) to regulate the position of the lens holder (i46). A receiving piece (155) is provided on the base (130). Furthermore, on the front side of this lens holder (146) is a video preamplifier unit (CODαη) attached. A board is attached with screws (157) through the horizontally long holes (156) so as to be adjustable in the left-right direction. Here, the video
An abbreviated adjustment plate (158) is fixed to one end of the preamplifier unit (to) by a screw (159), and the video preamplifier is connected via this adjustment plate (iss).
In order to adjust the left and right position of the unit α frame board, an adjustment screw (LSI) is screwed to the adjustment plate (158) through the horizontal long hole (160) in the side plate and a screw hole (16) in the side plate.

5) with screws (166) to unitize the reading system.

Next, I will explain about the reception record kama-type kan. First, FIG. 13 shows the general layout of the roll recording paper Q.
Tension roller (167), guide plate (168)
f: Intermediate, thermal head 4, platen roller (
(to), is received and recorded, passes through a guide plate (169), and is cut by sawtooth plate 4 as necessary. Here, as shown in FIG. 14, the platen roller is attached between side plates (170) via bearings (171), and a pulley (173) is fixed to one end via a spacer (172). Furthermore, a knob (174) for manual rotation is attached.

In addition, the platen (176) supported at a distance from the side plate (170) by the shirt (175) has its vertical hole (

178) is attached with a screw (179) and nut (180), and a boo IJ (
182) is fixed. And pulley (173)
(182) A timing belt (183) is stretched between the step motors (182) and the tension is applied to the step motor (183).
This is done by the vertical movement adjustment of 78).

FIG. 15 shows how the thermal head (2) is attached to and separated from the platen roller. This thermal head (A) basically has a fulcrum shaft (18) attached to the side plate (170).
4) (18)
5) with both ends supported by l), elongated hole (
186), the position can be adjusted using screw (187) K. Here, in order to bring the thermal head Wt into pressure contact with the platen roller (to), the platen) (18
5) and the guide pin (188) caulked to the side plate (
A spring (
190) is locked.

A slide lever (
191) is attached to the side plate (170). In other words, this slide lever (191) has a vertically long hole (192).
It is movable up and down using a guide bush (194) fixed to the side plate (170) with a screw (193) as a guide, and has a hole (1) on the upper end side in which a guide pin (188) is engaged.
A vertically elongated hole (196) is formed in the center of the groove to allow the screw (189) to escape. Also, side plate (170)
The end of the fulcrum shaft (E) of the front cover unit ■, which is supported by ) is closed, slide lever '-(191
) is formed with a cut-out flat portion (199) for receiving the lower edge (198) of the lower end edge (198). Therefore, the slide lever (
191) has a lower edge (198) with a notched flat part (199).
), and the thermal head is attached to the platen roller (2).
However, when the front cover unit (■) is opened and rotated to replace the rolled recording paper (as described later), the rotation of the fulcrum shaft (C) at this time causes the notch to become flat. The part (199) escapes from the lower edge (198) and the slide lever (1
91), the bracket (185) is pushed up by the guide bin (18B), and the thermal head (2) is also pushed up and rotated against the spring (190), maintaining it in a state away from the platen roller (E). be done. Therefore, there is no particularly large frictional resistance when setting the paper between the thermal head block and the platen roller at the leading end of the rolled recording paper H, and there is no problem in the setting operation.

Then, when the front cover unit (a) is closed, the pressurized contact state is established again.

Next, FIG. 16 shows how the rolled recording paper Qυ is held. Is this a roll of paper? The paper is wound within the recording surface and is held by being dropped into a recording paper holder (20G) with an arcuate cross section. The inner peripheral surface of this recording paper holder (200) is provided with strings to reduce friction on the outer periphery of the rolled recording paper Q9. Further, the recording paper holder (200) is rotatably supported around a fulcrum pin (202) fixed to the platen (201) with a caulk. Here, this bracket (201) is attached to the front cover (
C), together with the recording paper holder (200), it constitutes the front cover unit (H), and the front cover has mounting portions (203) around the four circumferences, and the fulcrum shaft (C) supports the bush (204). It is inserted through the fulcrum shaft and can rotate integrally with the fulcrum shaft. Furthermore, in order to regulate the opening and closing of the front cover unit (a), a slide lever (206) having a long length (205) is provided, and the other end of the fulcrum pin (202) is inserted through the slide lever (206).
A pin (207) is caulked and fixed to the other end side of 06). And this pin (207) is attached to the side plate (170).
An elongated hole (208) is formed through which the is inserted. (20
9) (210) is a spacer. Therefore, when the roll recording paper (C) is rotated open to replace the front cover unit, the pin (207) comes to the left end of the elongated hole (208) of the side plate (170), and the fulcrum pin (202) also moves. Since it comes to the left end of the elongated hole (205) of the slide lever (206), the stopper and front cover unit (A) cannot be opened any further. Like this, the front cover unit■
It is only necessary to drop the rolled recording paper &]) onto the recording paper holder (200) with the paper holder (200) kept open, and there is no need to worry about the trouble of holding the shaft center. This ibis, platen roller (to)
etc. are not included in the front cover unit, making it easy to operate, and since the recording paper holder (200) itself is rotatable around the fulcrum pin (202), the front cover unit can reduce the opening angle (first
(See Figure 3). Further, at this time, as described above, the thermal head (a) and the platen roller (to) are in a separated state. Then, when the front cover unit) is closed, the fulcrum pin (
202), the pin (207) is an elongated hole (205) (208
) to the right end and becomes a stopper. Although not particularly shown in the drawings, a light brake is applied by a rubber cushion so that the recording paper holder (200) rotates with the front cover unit (2) closed. Moreover, the slide levers (206) are provided on both the left and right sides in consideration of force balance.

The side plate (170) also includes stays (212) (213) fixed to the main body frame (211) of the device main body (1).
This side plate (170) is attached to the
K, as shown in Fig. 17, the guide plate (168) is screwed (
214), and the guide plate (1
69) and the sawtooth plate (c) are fixed to each other by screws (216) 4C via spacers (215).

Here, a guide film (218) is adhered to the slope (217) of the guide plate (169). This guide film (218) has elasticity and is used to make it easier to set the leading edge of the roll recording paper &1, and as shown in FIG. It has been extended to serve as an entrance guide. Further, the upper end side of the guide film (218) is extended between the guide plate (169) and the sawtooth plate (c) from the opposite direction so as not to set the leading end of the rolled recording paper Qη. However, if the clearance a between the upper end of the guide film (218) and the sawtooth plate binding disappears, a problem of frictional electrification will occur, so this clearance 4 is set to be greater than the thickness of the paper. In this case, if a paper setting manual is printed on the guide film (218), it will be easier to understand during the setting operation. Therefore, to replace the roll of recording paper (c), open the front cover unit (2) and replace the roll of recording paper (c).
c) onto the recording paper holder (200), insert its tip between the platen roller (to) and the fist tension roller (167) using the guide film (218) as a guide, and then press the knob (174) on the platen roller. By rotating it, it can be fed through the space between the thermal head (2) and the platen roller, which are in a separated state, to the sawtooth plate (2). Note that the guide plate (168) is provided with a reflective paper end sensor, which is set to detect the presence or absence of recording paper.

Next, the tension roller (167) holding mechanism is moved to the first position.
It is shown in Figure 9. This tension roller (167) has the functions of a tension roller when setting paper and a jam detection roller during normal recording, and its axis is attached to the side plate (167).
70) through the elongated hole (219), and the screw (22
0), the bearing (22
3) is supported. This lever (222) is urged upward by a spring (225) that is locked between the tip and a screw (224) screwed onto the side plate (170).
Tension roller (167) Kaplatin roller (foundation)
It is set to give tension to the sides. However, since there are problems such as the recording paper being skimmed or sagging,
The contact pressure of this tension roller (to) is set to be sufficiently small compared to the contact force between the platen roller (to) and the thermal head (a). And tension roller (1
A slit plate (226) is attached to the shaft of 67),
A photo sensor (229) on a side plate (228) attached to a side plate (170) via a bracket (227) is set to detect a jam.

By the way, Fig. 20 shows the frame structure of the entire device, and the above-mentioned stays (165) and (212) are installed between the main body frame (211), and the power supply unit (U) is installed on the back side. stay (230) (2
31) is installed. And stay (165)
The system control unit (1) is fixed to the lower part of the system via a spacer (232) with screws (233).

As described above, in the present invention, only the rolled recording paper for the reception recording system is held by the front cover unit which can be rotated to open and open. On the other hand, the thermal head and platen roller are attached to the main body of the device and are maintained in a separated state by opening the front cover unit, so the positional relationship between the two is highly stable. , there is no problem in setting the leading edge of the rolled recording paper.
