[0021] In the following description, Figure 1 As shown, based on the state in which the image forming apparatus 1 is set to be usable, the side where the sheet tray 27 is pulled out is set as the front, and the side opposite to the side is set as the rear, and the left and right directions are defined by viewing the image forming apparatus 1 from the front side, and further, the side of the second housing 3 of the image forming apparatus 1 is set as the top, and the side of the first housing 2 is set as the bottom, thereby determining each direction. In this embodiment, the left and right direction is an example of a width direction orthogonal to the sheet discharge direction of the discharge roller 28.

[0022] [Overall Structure of Image Forming Apparatus]

[0023] Figure 1 is a perspective view of an image forming apparatus 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 is a front view of an image forming apparatus according to one embodiment, Figure 3 is a top view of an image forming apparatus according to one embodiment, Figure 4 is a right side view of an image forming apparatus according to one embodiment, Figure 5 yes Figure 3 The AA cross-sectional enlarged view is a diagram showing the state where the discharge stopper 62 is in the use position. The image forming apparatus 1 has a so-called in-body discharge type. The image forming apparatus 1 includes a first housing 2, a second housing 3, a leg 4, and an operation panel 5.

[0024] The first housing 2 has a substantially rectangular parallelepiped cover 20 constituting an external appearance. The cover 20 has a front surface 21, a back surface 22, a left side surface 23, a right side surface 24, an upper surface 25, and a bottom surface 26. An opening 211 for inserting and removing the sheet tray 27 is formed at the lower portion of the front surface 21.

[0025] The first housing 2 contains a sheet tray 27 for supporting sheets before image formation, a conveying mechanism for conveying sheets from the sheet tray 27, an image forming unit for forming images on the sheets conveyed by the conveying mechanism, and a discharge mechanism for conveying sheets from the image forming unit to the outside of the first housing 2. A discharge roller 28 for discharging the sheets is provided at the most downstream portion in the conveying direction of the discharge mechanism.

[0026] The sheet tray 27 can be stored in the storage position ( Figure 1 The image forming unit slides between a position shown in FIG. 2 and a pulled-out position where the image forming unit is pulled forward from the first housing 2 through the opening 211. The structure of the image forming unit is not particularly limited, and structures such as an electrophotographic method, an inkjet printing method, and a thermal head method can be used.

[0027] In addition, a discharge tray 6 for supporting the sheet discharged by the discharge mechanism is provided on the upper surface 25 of the first housing 2. The discharge tray 6 is formed in a shape that is convexly curved from the rear side to the front side and inclined in an ascending manner on the upper surface 25 of the first housing 2. Thus, the sheet with an image formed thereon is discharged from the rear side to the front side to the discharge tray 6 by the discharge mechanism.

[0028] The discharge tray 6 has a protrusion 61 provided at the center of the width direction of the discharge tray 6 and a discharge stopper 62 provided on the protrusion 61. The protrusion 61 is a table-like member that protrudes upward compared to other surfaces of the discharge tray 6 and is inclined downward toward the rear. The discharge stopper 62 is a substantially rectangular plate-like member whose rear end is rotatably supported on the protrusion 61. The discharge stopper 62 is located at a storage position ( Figure 4 The position shown) and the use position with the front end erected ( Figure 5 When the discharge stopper 62 is in the use position, the sheet discharged to the discharge tray 6 abuts against the discharge stopper 62 and is restricted on the discharge tray 6.

[0029] By means of such a protrusion 61, even if the discharged sheet is curled as if both ends in the width direction are lifted, the curling can be reduced by lifting the central portion in the width direction of the sheet to support it. In addition, when the sheet is supported on the discharge tray 6, a space for taking the sheet can be formed around the protrusion 61 under the sheet. In addition, the protrusion 61 is not a necessary structure and can be omitted.

[0030] In addition, a power switch 29 of the image forming apparatus 1 is provided on the upper surface 25 of the first housing 2. For easy visual confirmation and easy operation, the power switch 29 is preferably arranged in the upper surface 25 of the first housing 2 at a position on the front side compared to the discharge stopper 62 and outside the width of the discharge tray 6 in the width direction. In the present embodiment, the power switch 29 is provided in the right front portion of the upper surface 25 of the first housing 2.

[0031] The second housing 3 is disposed above the first housing 2 and includes a document reading device 31. The document reading device 31 includes a housing 32, a document table 321 for supporting a document is disposed on the upper surface of the housing 32, and the housing 32 accommodates an image reading unit for reading an image of the document supported on the document table 321. In addition, the document reading device 31 includes a document pressing member 33 disposed above the housing 32, and the document pressing member 33 is centered on the rotation axis of the rear end portion as an example of one end of the document pressing member 33, and the front end portion as an example of the other end of the document pressing member 33 can swing between a closed position covering the document table 321 and an open position opening the document table 321.

[0032] An automatic document feeder (hereinafter referred to as ADF (auto document feeder)) 34 for automatically feeding a document to a document table 321 is provided on the upper portion of the document pressing member 33. The front end surface 34A of the ADF 34 forms an intersecting angle with the upper surface of the document table 321 when in the closed position. In the present embodiment, the front end surface 34A of the ADF 34 forms a right angle with the upper surface of the document table 321. In addition, a motor 341 serving as a driving source of the ADF 34 is provided on the rear end side of the ADF 34.

[0033] The leg portion 4 includes a left leg portion 41, a right leg portion 42, and a rear leg portion 43. The left leg portion 41, the right leg portion 42, and the rear leg portion 43 are respectively arranged at the left end portion, the right end portion, and the rear end portion on the upper surface of the first housing 2, and the left leg portion 41, the right leg portion 42, and the rear leg portion 43 lift the second housing 3 and support the second housing 3. Thus, the second housing 3 is provided above the discharge tray 6 across the discharge space 63 for discharging sheets. In addition, an opening portion 44 is formed on the front surface side of the image forming apparatus 1 by the left leg portion 41, the right leg portion 42, the upper surface of the first housing 2, and the lower surface of the second housing 3, and the discharge space 63 is opened to the front through the opening portion 44. Therefore, the user can take out the sheets discharged to the discharge tray 6 through the opening portion 44.

[0034] In this embodiment, the front end surface 42A of the right leg portion 42 is arranged behind the front end surface 3A of the second housing 3. Thus, the right side of the discharge space 63 is widely opened, and the sheets discharged to the discharge tray 6 can be easily taken out from the right side.

[0035] The operation panel 5 is a panel of a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape, and the length of the operation panel 5 in the left-right direction is formed to be shorter than the length of the second housing 3 in the left-right direction. In the present embodiment, the length of the operation panel 5 in the left-right direction is less than half of the length of the second housing 3 in the left-right direction. The operation panel 5 is provided to protrude forward from the front end surface 3A of the second housing 3 in such a manner that the left end of the operation panel 5 and the left end of the second housing 3 are located in the same plane. In addition, the operation panel 5 is provided on the left side of the document table 321 in the width direction, and the ADF 34 is also provided on the left side relative to the document table 321 in the width direction. In addition, if the operation panel 5 is provided on the downstream side of the sheet discharge direction compared to the discharge roller 28 in the second housing 3, the configuration of the operation panel 5 is not particularly limited. The upper surface 51 of the operation panel 5 is provided with a display such as a liquid crystal panel and an operating member such as a touch pad and an operating button for operating the image forming unit and the image reading unit.

[0036] [NFC]

[0037] like Figure 2As shown, an NFC mark 71 is printed on the front end surface 34A of the ADF 34, and the NFC mark 71 indicates a position for an external device such as an IC card or a smart phone with an NFC function to approach for short-range wireless communication. The size and shape of the NFC mark 71 are not particularly limited. In addition, the NFC mark 71 can also be formed by a method other than printing. For example, it can also be set as a structure that is composed of a translucent component and a light source such as a light-emitting diode is arranged directly below the translucent component to make the mark emit light. The user can wirelessly communicate between the external device and the image forming device 1 by bringing the external device close to the NFC mark 71 or placing the external device on the NFC mark 71 (i.e., bringing the external device close to contact with the NFC mark 71).

[0038] In this way, by setting the NFC mark 71 on the front end surface 34A of the ADF 34, when the external device is covered with the NFC mark 71, the user needs to keep holding it in order to prevent the external device from slipping. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the opening of the manuscript pressing member 33 when the external device is placed on the manuscript reading device 31. In addition, the space of the front end surface 34A generated by the thickness of the ADF 34 can be effectively utilized to configure the NFC mark 71. In addition, the NFC mark 71 is set on the user side in the upper part of the manuscript reading device 31, so that the user can easily visually confirm the NFC mark 71. Therefore, it is possible to provide a manuscript reading device 31 having an unprecedented new structure and an image forming device 1 having the manuscript reading device 31.

[0039] The NFC logo 71 is preferably arranged on the same side as the operation panel 5 in the width direction of the image forming apparatus 1. To this end, the ADF 34 arranged with the NFC logo 71 needs to be arranged on the same side as the operation panel 5. In the present embodiment, the ADF 34 and the operation panel 5 are arranged on the left side of the image forming apparatus 1, so the NFC logo 71 is also arranged on the left side of the image forming apparatus 1 and arranged at a position overlapping with the operation panel 5 in the left-right direction.

[0040] According to this configuration, by arranging the NFC mark 71 and the operation panel 5 on the same side in the width direction, the user can check both the NFC mark 71 and the operation panel 5 simply by checking the same direction, making it easy to visually check both.

[0041] The NFC substrate 70 is provided at a position opposite to the NFC mark 71 inside the ADF 34 to achieve good wireless communication between the NFC substrate 70 and the external device. In the present embodiment, the NFC substrate 70 is arranged on the inner side of the front end surface 34A of the ADF 34 directly behind the NFC mark 71. The NFC substrate 70 is a roughly rectangular plate-shaped circuit substrate, headed by a loop antenna 72, and equipped with a communication circuit, a detection circuit, etc.

[0042] The loop antenna 72 is arranged on the front surface of the NFC substrate 70 so as to be located directly behind the NFC logo 71. The loop antenna 72 has the function of receiving and transmitting radio waves for communicating with external devices. The communication circuit has the function of performing signal processing on the received and transmitted radio waves. The detection circuit has the function of detecting the intensity of the radio waves received and transmitted by the loop antenna 72 by detecting the current flowing in the loop antenna 72.

[0043] In this embodiment, the NFC tag 71 and the NFC substrate 70 are arranged on the front end side of the ADF 34, and the motor 341 is arranged on the rear end side of the ADF 34. In this way, by arranging the NFC tag 71 and the NFC substrate 70 on the side opposite to the motor 341, it is possible to suppress the reduction of communication performance caused by the noise of the motor 341.

[0044] [USB]

[0045] like Figure 4 As shown in FIG. 1 , the image forming apparatus 1 is provided with a USB port 81 as a terminal for connecting a USB device such as a USB memory and a digital camera. The USB port 81 is arranged on the side of the operation panel 5 close to the center of the housing 32 in the width direction. In the present embodiment, the USB port 81 is provided on the right side 52 of the operation panel 5. The position of the USB port 81 on the right side 52 of the operation panel 5 is not particularly limited. A USB logo 82 is printed near the USB port 81 on the right side 52 of the operation panel 5. The user can recognize the position of the USB port 81 by visually confirming the USB logo 82 or the USB port 81.

[0046] In this way, by arranging the USB port 81 on the side of the operation panel 5 near the center of the housing 32 in the width direction, the USB device inserted into the USB port 81 is unlikely to protrude to the side of the first housing 2 when viewed from above, thereby suppressing the risk of the USB device being damaged by a collision between the user and the USB device, and ensuring space for installing and removing the USB device. In addition, since the USB port 81 is arranged above the discharge tray 6, the user can easily visually confirm the USB port 81. In addition, the user can confirm both the operation panel 5 and the USB port 81 by simply confirming the same direction, and visual confirmation is easy.

[0047] In addition, by providing the USB port 81 on the side of the operation panel 5, the visibility of the USB port 81 and the operability of the operation panel 5 can be achieved at the same time. In addition, the situation where the NFC mark 71 is covered by the USB device inserted into the USB port 81 is suppressed, and the visibility of the NFC mark 71 can be ensured even in the state where the USB device is connected to the USB port 81.

[0048] The USB substrate 80 is provided inside the operation panel 5. The USB substrate 80 is a substantially rectangular plate-shaped circuit substrate, and carries a USB port 81 and a conversion circuit. The USB port 81 is arranged to protrude to the right on the upper surface of the USB substrate 80. The conversion circuit is a circuit that converts the signal line of the USB port 81 into a predetermined interval.

[0049] [Modification 1]

[0050] Figure 6 : is a perspective view of an image forming device 9 of Modification 1. The image forming device 9 of Modification 1 is different from the above-mentioned image forming device 1 in that the document reading device 91 does not have an ADF and in the positions of the NFC mark 92 and the NFC substrate 93. The other structures are the same as the above-mentioned image forming device 1. In the following description of Modifications 1 to 3, the differences from the above-mentioned image forming device 1 are mainly described, and the same structures as the above-mentioned image forming device 1 are assigned the same reference numerals and their detailed descriptions are omitted.

[0051] The document reading device 91 includes a plate-shaped document pressing member 94 obtained by removing the ADF 34 from the above-mentioned document pressing member 33. When in the closed position, the front end surface 94A of the document pressing member 94 forms an angle that intersects with the upper surface of the document table 321. In the first modification, the front end surface 94A of the document pressing member 94 forms a right angle with the upper surface of the document table 321.

[0052] The NFC mark 92 is set at a position that satisfies the same conditions as the above-mentioned NFC mark 71. Figure 6 In the embodiment, an NFC mark 92 is provided above the operation panel 5 in the front end surface 94A of the document pressing member 94. The NFC substrate 93 is obtained by setting the above-mentioned NFC substrate 70 to a shape matching the thickness of the document pressing member 94, and the NFC substrate 93 is provided at a position opposite to the NFC mark 92 inside the document pressing member 94.

[0053] In this way, even in a configuration in which the document reading device 91 does not include an ADF, by providing the NFC tag 92 on the front end surface 94A of the document pressing member 94 , it is possible to obtain the same effects as those of the above-described image forming apparatus 1 .

[0054] [Modification 2]

[0055] Figure 7 This is a right side view of the image forming apparatus 10 of Modification 2. The image forming apparatus 10 of Modification 2 is different from the above-described image forming apparatus 1 in that the operation panel 101 is swingable, and the other structures are the same as those of the above-described image forming apparatus 1.

[0056] The operation panel 101 has a rotation shaft 102 extending in the left-right direction at the rear end of the operation panel 101. The rotation shaft 102 is rotatably supported by a recessed portion (not shown) provided in the second housing 3. Thus, the operation panel 101 can be in an inclined position (ie, the upper surface 103 of the operation panel 101 is lower at the front and higher at the rear) with the rotation shaft 102 as the center. Figure 7 The position shown by the solid line) and the horizontal position where the upper surface 103 becomes horizontal ( Figure 7 In other words, it can be said that the operation panel 101 is set so that the angle relative to the NFC mark 71 can be changed.

[0057] According to the structure of Modification 2, the user can appropriately change the angle of the operation panel 101 in accordance with the viewing angle, thereby making it easy to confirm both the NFC mark 71 and the operation panel 101 at a glance. In addition, even when the operation panel 101 and the NFC mark 71 are arranged close to each other, by appropriately displacing the operation panel 101 to an inclined position, etc., interference between the operation panel 101 and an external device covering the NFC mark 71 can be suppressed, and the operability is excellent.

[0058] [Variation 3]

[0059] Figure 8 This is a right side view of the image forming apparatus 11 of Modification 3. The image forming apparatus 11 of Modification 3 is different from the above-mentioned image forming apparatus 1 in that the operation panel 111 is swingable, and the other structures are the same as those of the above-mentioned image forming apparatus 1.

[0060] The operation panel 111 has a rotation shaft 112 extending in the left-right direction near the front end of the bottom surface. The rotation shaft 112 is rotatably supported by a recessed portion (not shown) provided in the left leg portion 41. Thus, the operation panel 111 can be in a horizontal position (ie, the upper surface 113 of the operation panel 111 is horizontal) with the rotation shaft 112 as the center. Figure 8 The upper surface 113 is changed to an inclined position with a lower front and a higher rear ( Figure 8 In other words, it can be said that the operation panel 111 is set so that the angle relative to the NFC mark 71 can be changed.

[0061] According to the structure of Modification 3, the user can confirm both the NFC mark 71 and the operation panel 111 at a glance by appropriately displacing the operation panel 111 to a horizontal position. In addition, even when the operation panel 111 and the NFC mark 71 are arranged close to each other, by appropriately displacing the operation panel 111 to an inclined position, interference between the operation panel 111 and an external device covering the NFC mark 71 can be suppressed, and the operability is excellent.

[0062] [Effects of Embodiment]

[0063] The manuscript reading device 91 includes a housing 32, on the upper surface of which a manuscript table 321 is provided, the manuscript table 321 supports the manuscript, and the housing 32 accommodates an image reading unit that reads the image of the manuscript supported on the manuscript table 321. In addition, the manuscript reading device 91 includes a manuscript pressing member 94, which is provided above the housing 32, and the manuscript pressing member 94 is centered on the rotation axis located at one end of the manuscript pressing member 94, and the other end of the manuscript pressing member 94 can swing between a closed position covering the manuscript table 321 and an open position opening the manuscript table 321. The other end of the manuscript pressing member 94 has a front end surface 94A, and the front end surface 94A intersects with the upper surface of the manuscript table 321 when in the closed position. In addition, the front end surface 94A has an NFC mark 92, and the NFC mark 92 indicates a position for an external device to approach for short-range wireless communication.

[0064] According to this structure, by providing the NFC mark 92 on the end surface of the other end of the manuscript pressing member 94, when the external device is covered with the NFC mark 92, the user needs to keep holding the external device in order to prevent it from slipping. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the situation where the manuscript pressing member 94 is opened when the external device is placed on the manuscript reading device 91. In addition, the NFC mark 92 is provided on the user side in the upper part of the manuscript reading device 91, so the user can easily visually confirm the NFC mark 92. Therefore, it is possible to provide a manuscript reading device 91 having a new structure that has never been seen before.

[0065] According to the above-described document reading device 31 , the document pressing member 33321 includes the ADF 34 for automatically conveying the document to the document table, and the ADF 34 includes the end surface 34A.

[0066] According to this configuration, the space on the end surface 34A of the ADF 34 can be effectively utilized.

[0069] According to the above-described image forming apparatus 10 , the operation panel 101 is provided so that the angle with respect to the NFC mark 71 can be changed.

[0070] According to this structure, by changing the angle of the operation panel 101, the user can easily recognize both the NFC mark 71 and the operation panel 101 at a glance. In addition, even when the operation panel 101 and the NFC mark 71 are arranged close to each other, by changing the angle of the operation panel 101, the interference between the operation panel 101 and the external device covering the NFC mark 71 can be suppressed, and the operability is excellent.

[0071] According to the image forming apparatus 1 , the width of the operation panel 5 is shorter than the width of the housing 32 , and the USB port 81 is provided on the right side surface 52 of the operation panel 5 near the center of the housing 32 in the width direction.

[0072] With this structure, a USB device inserted into the USB port 81 is unlikely to protrude to the side of the housing 32 in a plan view, thereby suppressing the risk of a user colliding with the USB device and damaging the USB device, and ensuring space for attaching and detaching the USB device.

[0073] According to the above-described image forming apparatus 1 , the motor 341 is provided at one end side of the document pressing member 33 .
