Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a data input/output device including a mounting portion for removably mounting a data memo card such as an electronic telephone directory.

[Prior Art] Recently, electronic telephone directories, etc., which have a personal data key, have been equipped with a mounting section for removably mounting a data memo card, and the mounted data memo card can be operated from the outside. Data input/output devices such as facsimiles with telephone directories have been proposed. A recess 21 corresponding to the size of a data memo card is provided in this body, and a card is inserted into this recess 21 from above. Data communication is performed between the inserted card and the facsimile machine main body in this way, and information corresponding to key operations on the card is sent to the light receiving element on the facsimile machine main body as optical information from the light emitting element on the back of the card. It is sent.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, in the above-mentioned facsimile machine, the mounting portion for mounting the card has a concave portion 2 for mounting the card.
1. Since the device needs to be thick enough to accommodate the photodetector holder and photodetector substrate, there are problems in that the operating section becomes thicker, the degree of freedom in external design is restricted, and the device becomes considerably larger. .

An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks, and to reduce the size of the apparatus by making the operation part thinner by devising the arrangement of the mounting part.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a method in which a document transport path is formed such that a document insertion port and a document discharge port are at different angles, and the document transport path and A space in the center of the document conveyance path is provided with a mounting portion into which a data memo card serving as an electronic telephone directory having a data entry key can be removably mounted.

[Embodiment] An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1st
Figures 1 and 2 show the appearance of a data input/output device such as a facsimile with electronic telephone directory. 1 is the main body of the device, 2 is the document insertion slot provided on the front of the main body 1, and 3 is the document and recording device. A paper outlet 3 is provided on the upper surface of the main body 1.

Reference numeral 4 denotes an operation panel section formed by cutting obliquely from the top surface of the main body 1 to the front surface, and is formed in a slightly curved shape. This operation panel section 4 is provided with a display section 5, a numeric keypad 6, and various other keys.

Further, the operation panel section 4 is provided with a mounting section 8 into which a data memo card 7 is mounted. The mounting portion 8 is formed in a concave shape for attaching and detaching the data memo card 7 and operating the keys of the card 7 from the outside.

FIG. 3 shows the data memo card mounting section, and the side surface of the mounting section 8 is provided with a member 10 and a coil spring 9. One end of the card 7 is connected to a coil spring 9 via a member 10.
The other end of the card 7 is pressed against the side surface of the mounting section 8. The card 7 is positioned in the left-right direction by the coil spring 9 of the biasing member. Further, on the bottom surface of the mounting portion 8, light receiving elements, which will be described later, are arranged as shown in FIG.

Here, FIG. 4 shows a cross section of the device, where 8 is a mounting part, and 11 is a light receiving element incorporating a light receiving element that receives information transmitted from the card 7 in response to a key operation by the main body of the facsimile machine. A holder, 12 is a light receiving element board on which a light receiving element is attached, 4 is an operation panel formed in a slightly curved shape, 14 is an operation panel board to which electric parts related to the operation panel are attached, 1 is the main body of the device, and is a frame. . Reference numeral 16 denotes a reading sensor for reading image information of the original, 17 a DES sensor for sensing the original to be conveyed while pressing the original against the reading sensor, and 20 an upper original table.

Further, the document is conveyed through the upper document table 20, the CS roller 17, the frame of the apparatus main body 1, and the reading sensor 16.

As shown in FIG. 4, the upper document table 20 is designed to maintain a certain gap with the frame of the apparatus main body 1 in order to prevent the document from flapping during conveyance.

As shown in FIG. 4, by forming the document transport path so that the original insertion port and the document ejection port are at different angles, the document transport path and the operation panel 4 are arranged at the center in the direction orthogonal to the document transport direction. A gap is formed between them, and a mounting portion 8 is provided in the gap. Furthermore, the height of the operation panel 4 can be made somewhat lower by avoiding the central part of the operation panel 4 in the document transport direction and arranging the data memo card mounting section in the center in the direction perpendicular to the document transport direction. However, interference with the light receiving element ## attached to the lower part of the data memo card mounting section 8 can be avoided, and the device can be made smaller.

That is, since the operation panel 4 is formed in a curved shape, the gap at the center in the direction orthogonal to the document conveyance direction becomes a dog, and the mounting portion 8 is provided in that area.

On the surface of the data memo card 7, there is a display section 7. as shown in FIG. and various data keys 7□ are provided. The data key 72 is used to operate the data contents of the card 7 as a telephone directory, and the display section 71 is used to display the activated data contents. Also, on the back of card 7 there is a sixth
As shown in the figure, there is a battery cover 73, a reset switch window 74, and seven LED windows 75. ~75 a are provided. The battery cover 73 is fixed to the card 7 with screws, and a lithium battery is housed therein. When the inside of the reset switch window 74 is pressed with a bottle, the card 7
The reset switch S in the card 7 is operated and various data stored in the card 7 are cleared. LED window 75
．． ~757 are seven light emitting diodes Ll, L2 provided in the card.

It transmits the light of L3, L4, Ls, La, and Lt, respectively. These light emitting diodes L, ~L, have seven light receiving elements N, , N2°N3, N4 as shown in Fig. 7.
.

Next, the operation of the above configuration will be explained.

LED window 75 on the back of card 7. 757 and the light receiving elements N1 to N7 on the device side are held, and while holding the card 7 at an angle, press the coil spring 10 as a biasing member with one end of the card 7 and attach it. let

As a result, the card 7 is pressed against the coil spring 9 as a biasing member.
As a result, the light emitting diodes L1 to L7 and the light receiving elements N1 to N7 are placed in a correct positional relationship, and correct communication is possible.

The key 72 of the card 7 is visually recognized by the operator, and the operator presses the key 72 of the desired card 7 with a finger.

As a result, information corresponding to the key 72 of the card 7 can be sent as optical information from the light emitting diodes L1 to L7 to the light receiving elements N1 to N7 on the facsimile main body side.

As described in detail above, according to the present invention, the data memo card is placed at the right end of the facsimile machine, but the same effect can be obtained even if the data memo card is placed at the left end of the facsimile machine as shown in FIG.

[Effects of the Invention] As described in detail above, according to the present invention, the document feed path is formed such that the document insertion port and the document discharge port are at different angles, and the document feed path and the document transfer path are The space in the center is equipped with a mounting section into which a data memo card, which serves as an electronic telephone directory with a personal data key, can be removably mounted, allowing the operation section to be made thinner and the entire device to be more compact. This has the effect of increasing the degree of freedom in design.
