本発明の実施の形態を説明する。
本発明は、操作部を備え、情報記録媒体に格納された情報を読み取る認証装置を配置でき、前記認証装置を収容する空間を形成する突出部を形成した蓋部材を備え、操作部に設けたコネクタに対して、認証装置に設けるハーネスを接続するようにした画像形成装置であって、以下の特徴を有する。要するに、ハーネスが画像形成装置本体の外装の内部に収容されることが特徴になっている。
An embodiment of the present invention will be described.
The present invention includes an operation unit, an authentication device that reads information stored in an information recording medium can be arranged, and includes a lid member formed with a protruding portion that forms a space for housing the authentication device, and is provided in the operation unit. An image forming apparatus in which a harness provided in an authentication apparatus is connected to a connector, and has the following characteristics. In short, the harness is housed in the exterior of the main body of the image forming apparatus.
このような本発明の特徴について、以下に図面を参照して詳細に説明する。なお、本明細書においてハーネスとは、複数本のワイヤからなるものだけでなく、単一のワイヤからなるものなど、いわゆる線条体を含んだ形態あるいは線条体を含んだかに見える外観を有する配線材のすべてを含むものとする。
図１は、本発明の実施対象となる画像形成装置の一例を示す斜視図である。図示の画像形成装置１は、装置本体１ａが、操作部２および認証装置３（図２に示す）を有している。認証装置３は、装置本体１ａの外装の一部を構成するケース４に収容され、画像形成装置１の外には露出しない構成となっている。また認証装置３は、必要なユーザのみに対応できるように、後付けが可能なオプションとなっている。
Such features of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. In addition, in this specification, a harness has not only what consists of a plurality of wires, but what has what is called a linear body, such as what consists of a single wire, or has the external appearance which seems to include a linear body. All wiring materials shall be included.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an example of an image forming apparatus that is an object of the present invention. In the illustrated image forming apparatus 1, the apparatus main body 1 a includes an operation unit 2 and an authentication apparatus 3 (shown in FIG. 2). The authentication device 3 is housed in a case 4 that constitutes a part of the exterior of the device main body 1 a and is not exposed to the outside of the image forming device 1. The authentication device 3 is an option that can be retrofitted so that only the necessary users can be accommodated.
図２は、操作部２および認証装置３の部分の拡大斜視図（ａ：前面側、ｂ：背面側）であり、図３は、操作部２を回動可能に支持する構造を示す拡大斜視図である。認証装置３のハーネス５は、操作部２内のコントローラ基板６に接続される。また認証装置３は、画像形成装置１の前面側の外装であるケース４の脱着のみで画像形成装置１に対して装着可能に設けてある。 2 is an enlarged perspective view (a: front side, b: back side) of the operation unit 2 and the authentication device 3, and FIG. 3 is an enlarged perspective view showing a structure for rotatably supporting the operation unit 2. FIG. The harness 5 of the authentication device 3 is connected to the controller board 6 in the operation unit 2. The authentication device 3 is provided so as to be attachable to the image forming apparatus 1 only by detaching the case 4 that is an exterior on the front side of the image forming apparatus 1.
図示は省略したが、コントローラ基板６にはハーネス５が接続される設けたコネクタが設けてある。接続するハーネス５の経路は、ケース４及び画像形成装置１の外装７（７ａ、７ｂ、７ｃ）の内部と、操作部２の外装８の内側とし、画像形成装置１外に露出せず、美観を損なわないようになっている。図２（ｂ）は、操作部２の外装８を外した状態を示し、ハーネス５は外装８を装着することで外部からは見えなくなる。すなわち、画像形成装置１の装置本体１ａ外へハーネス５が露出しないため画像形成装置１の美観を損なわない。なお、認証装置３からコントローラ基板６までの経路に対してハーネス５の長さが長い、あるいは長すぎる場合は、外装７ｃｃ廻りの蓋部材を構成する外装材の内部にハーネス５を収容する空間を確保すればよい。 Although not shown, the controller board 6 is provided with a connector to which the harness 5 is connected. The path of the harness 5 to be connected is inside the case 4 and the exterior 7 (7a, 7b, 7c) of the image forming apparatus 1 and inside the exterior 8 of the operation unit 2, and is not exposed to the outside of the image forming apparatus 1. Will not be damaged. FIG. 2B shows a state in which the exterior 8 of the operation unit 2 is removed, and the harness 5 becomes invisible from the outside when the exterior 8 is attached. That is, since the harness 5 is not exposed outside the main body 1a of the image forming apparatus 1, the aesthetic appearance of the image forming apparatus 1 is not impaired. In addition, when the length of the harness 5 is long or too long with respect to the path from the authentication device 3 to the controller board 6, a space for accommodating the harness 5 is provided inside the exterior material constituting the cover member around the exterior 7cc. What is necessary is just to secure.
操作部２は、画像形成装置１に対して、外装７ｃによる保持箇所を通る回転軸９を中心に上下方向に回動できる構成としてある。すなわち操作部２は、操作者の操作に応じて角度を変化させることができる。この操作部２の回動とともに、回転軸９の近傍のハーネス５が位置を変えることとなる。そのため、図３に示すように、操作部２の回動時におけるハーネスの軌跡１０に対して干渉しないような切り欠き形状の開口部１１を外装７ｃに設けてあり、ハーネス５が位置を変えても、ハーネスの軌跡１０に対して干渉しないようにしてある。 The operation unit 2 is configured to be able to rotate in the vertical direction with respect to the image forming apparatus 1 around a rotation shaft 9 passing through a holding position by the exterior 7c. That is, the operation unit 2 can change the angle according to the operation of the operator. As the operation unit 2 rotates, the harness 5 in the vicinity of the rotation shaft 9 changes its position. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 3, a notch-shaped opening 11 is provided in the exterior 7c so as not to interfere with the locus 10 of the harness when the operation unit 2 is rotated, and the harness 5 changes its position. Also, it does not interfere with the trajectory 10 of the harness.
詳細には、開口部１１はほとんどが外装材７ｃの下側部分を構成する外装材に設けてある。この切り欠き形状の開口部１１は、操作部２が回動する際のハーネス５の軌跡領域を切欠いた形状としてある。これにより、ハーネス５が操作部２の回動を妨げない構成、換言すれば操作部２の回動が妨げられない構成となっている（図３）。 In detail, most of the openings 11 are provided in the exterior material constituting the lower portion of the exterior material 7c. The notch-shaped opening 11 has a shape obtained by notching the locus region of the harness 5 when the operation unit 2 rotates. Thereby, the harness 5 has a configuration that does not hinder the rotation of the operation unit 2, in other words, a configuration that does not hinder the rotation of the operation unit 2 (FIG. 3).
本発明は以上説明した実施形態に限定されるものではなく、多くの変形が本発明の技術的思想内で当分野において通常の知識を有する者により可能である。 The present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, and many variations are possible by those having ordinary knowledge in the art within the technical idea of the present invention.
