Image reading device

An image reading device comprising:

• a conveyor which is configured to convey a sheet along a conveyance path from an upper path to a lower path through a curved path in a conveyance direction, wherein the upper path is disposed on an upper side with respect to the lower path, the lower path is disposed on a lower side with respect to the upper path, and the curved path connects the upper path and the lower path;
• and
• a first reading unit which is configured to read an image of the sheet conveyed in the lower path by the conveyor,
• wherein the conveyor includes:
• a feed roller which is disposed at the upper path and configured to feed a sheet to a downstream side in the conveyance direction;
• a separator;
• a separation roller which is disposed at the upper path and configured to separate the sheet fed from the feed roller one by one, in conjunction with the separator;
• a conveying roller which is disposed at the curved path and configured to convey the sheet separated by the separation roller along the curved path;
• and
• a discharging roller pair which is disposed at the lower path and configured to discharge the sheet conveyed through the curved path toward a discharge region positioned on a downstream side with respect to the lower path in the conveyance direction, the discharging roller pair comprising an upper discharging roller and a lower discharging roller,
• wherein the lower path includes a horizontal path extending in a substantially horizontal direction,
• wherein the separator includes a flat plate portion having a flat plate shape, and the flat plate portion is disposed at a position which is above the horizontal path, overlaps the horizontal path in a plan view, and is arranged in a substantially horizontal direction,
• wherein the separation roller is disposed at a position which is above the separator, and
• wherein a position of a lower end of the separation roller is disposed below an upper end of the lower discharging roller.
