Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Field of the Invention) The present invention relates to office automation equipment that can be equipped with many optional functions in addition to a reading means such as an image scanner, and particularly relates to OA equipment that can classify various types of paper and transport them using ultrasonic waves. The present invention relates to a fuzzy OA device in which the printer device is made as compact as possible by making it possible to control the output of the means, so that it can be mounted on a desk side or the like.

(Prior Art) Copiers used as office automation systems in conventional offices use the rotational force of a motor to transport copy paper to an image copying unit. Because it is a complex mechanism that requires a large space to sequentially combine belt pulleys, rollers, etc. that transmit the information, it requires a large and spacious installation space. It is used jointly by several people in the office when copies of records, reports, drawings, etc. are needed.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) In other words, in a conventional copying machine, as shown in FIG. At the same time, the driven roller 73 is placed on the driving roller 71°71.
, 73 are disposed, and the document sheet X is held between both rollers and the sheet is conveyed by frictional force. A complicated mechanical conveyance means that requires vertical, horizontal, and height space is used.

However, according to such a configuration, at least the motor 70. Since the driving roller 71 and the driven roller 73 are required, it is inevitable that the transport mechanism becomes larger and heavier, and therefore, it is impossible for each person to install the copy machine on the desk side and use it as a dedicated machine. there were.

Furthermore, copy machines are large and require a large installation space, and are expensive because they use complex mechanisms and expensive motors. In many cases, the machine was shared by several people, and when a copy was required, the user had to stop work and go to the copying station, which caused problems in terms of administrative efficiency.

In addition, faxes also have the problem of being able to only read sheet-like items (sheet-feed type), and in addition, when building an OA equipment system using a computer and image scanner, a larger installation space is required. There was a problem.

Moreover, according to the conveyance mechanism as shown in FIG. 12, since the document paper is fed by the frictional force between the driving roller 71 and the driven roller 73, dirt on the document paper X will not adhere to the rollers 71 and 73. There is a problem in that the frictional force decreases and a slipping phenomenon occurs, making reliable conveyance impossible and having an adverse effect on reading accuracy.

The device of the present invention was developed to solve the above-mentioned problems, and its purpose is to achieve low cost by making the paper conveying means as thin as possible, simple and compact. It is a multi-functional O
In order to make the A system possible for each desk, save space, improve usability, and convey paper smoothly with as little conveyance output as possible, we have developed a paper feeding means, a conveyance means, and a paper ejection unit for supplying paper. By providing a paper transport means in which a series of paper transport lines up to the up to the top are formed by inclined surfaces, and a fuzzy inference section to ensure the transport force corresponding to various types of paper, the labor of the transport means can be saved. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a fuzzy OA device that can improve the quality of copies and the quality of copies.

Therefore, printing accuracy can be improved. Furthermore, since the printer device itself is equipped with an interface circuit that allows data exchange with an external data person/output means,
This has the effect of significantly expanding versatility.

(Effects of the Invention) As described above, the fuzzy OA device according to the present invention does not require a motor as a drive source, a belt for transmitting the torque of the motor, or a heavy and complicated configuration as in the past. It uses a flat ultrasonic conveyance means that is not used, and has a paper conveyance means in which a series of paper conveyance lines from a paper feeding means and a conveyance means for supplying paper to a paper ejection section are formed on an inclined surface. Since it is configured to smoothly transport various types of paper with a small output, the main body of the machine, which requires space such as the print output section and paper transport means, can be made as compact and inexpensive as possible. Since the output of the conveyance means is small, it is possible to use a small-output ultrasonic conveyance means as a paper conveyance means, thereby making it possible to reduce the size, weight, and space of the conveyance means. In addition to being more portable, each person can easily and easily install it on their desk, etc.

Moreover, it is equipped with a fuzzy inference section that is connected to the image scanner section and enables output according to the paper size.
You can freely input image data from documents on your desk, and smoothly print out the images on various types of paper from the printer section on the desk side, making the fuzzy OA device close to you as if it were your own personal computer without leaving your seat. In addition to being easier to use, it also has the effect of improving office work efficiency.
