Testing process is as follows: as shown in figure 12, and for detection components 14 has just started to be mounted to the first state (T0 moment) residing in image processing system, now the state of first sensor 1001, second sensor 1002 is respectively the state of conducting.After conducting is opened the light in the triggering in figure forming apparatus (trigger switch in the present embodiment has been closed for being closed by hatchcover), driven wheel receives the power from image processing system main body side, and transfers to detection of gear (direction of arrow in Figure 12 is the sense of rotation of detection of gear).As Figure 13, in detection of gear rotation process, second projection 142 abuts (T1 moment) with the second lever 1004, one end of such second lever 1004 is between the light emission part and light receiver of the second sensor 1002, the light of shading light emission part, the state of the second sensor 1002 becomes off-state from initial conducting state; And the first projection 141 does not also reach the position abutting first sensor 1001, so the state of first sensor 1001 or conducting state.Along with further rotating of detection of gear, as Figure 14, first projection 141 also reaches the position (T2 moment) abutting first sensor 1001, such first lever 1003 one end is between the light emission part and light receiver of first sensor 1001, the state of such first sensor 1001 becomes off-state from conducting state, and in the T2 moment, second projection 142 deviate from the position of abutting second lever 1004, so the T2 moment, the recovering state original state of the second sensor 1002, becomes the state of conducting.

Also controller is provided with in image processing system, this controller can generate the level sequential corresponding with this sensor according to the change of the state be turned on or off of sensor, and the type of sequential chart determination developer box according to the level sequential combination formation of first sensor and the second sensor.Such as, shown in Figure 15, if when sensor is in conducting, what controller received is " height " level, and when sensor is in off-state, what controller received is " low " level; So the sequential that feeds back in T0, T1, T2 moment of the first handle box as shown in figure 15.

Certainly, as long as can meet above-mentioned three kinds of states, the relative position relation of first sensor 1001, second sensor 1002, first lever 1003, second lever 1004 can be not limited to as described in the present embodiment.And the first projection 141, second projection 142 is also not necessarily limited to the relative position relation of angle, can also by the change of size, such as increase the contact area between at least one projection and at least one lever, these changes can both realize the change of three kinds of states in the present embodiment; These changes are all protection scope of the present invention.

Figure 16, Figure 17, Figure 18 are detection of gear and the sensor partial schematic diagram respectively under the first state, the second state, the third state on the second handle box in the present embodiment; Figure 19 is the sequential chart of the second handle box sensor change in testing process in the embodiment of the present invention one.Be with the difference of the first handle box 1, relative position between first projection 241 from the second projection 242 is different, in corresponding Figure 18, when the first projection 241 has just started the state changing first sensor 1001, second projection 242 still abuts the second lever 1004, and namely the second sensor 1002 is still in off-state.The sequential that second handle box 2 fed back in T0, T1, T2 moment as shown in figure 19.

The sequential chart (as shown in figure 19) that the sequential chart (as shown in figure 15) formed by first handle box and the second handle box are formed compares known, angle between two detection components on developer box in first handle box and the second handle box is different, and the final sequential chart formed is also different; (reality is alternatively the sequential chart that the first developer box is corresponding to the sequential chart more corresponding than the first handle box as shown in figure 15, because developer box is arranged in handle box, the difference of sequential chart is also that the detection components on developer box arranges difference and causes), first sensor 1001 is when initial change state, and the state of the second sensor 1002 does not change relative to its original state; And the sequential chart that the second handle box shown in Figure 19 is corresponding, first sensor 1001 is when initial change state, and the state of the second sensor 1002 there occurs change relative to its original state.So, these two kinds of sequential charts are different, controller in image processing system just can determine the type of developer box according to the difference of sequential chart, be such as the first developer box according to the type of the sequential chart determination developer box of Figure 19, the type of the sequential chart determination developer box according to Figure 15 is the second developer box.

The image processing system of the present embodiment can also comprise the 3rd sensor, and the 3rd sensor comprises light emission part and light receiver, and light emission part and light receiver are not arranged on the position of developer box both sides; The developer-containing unit of developer box is provided with the light transmission part corresponding with the 3rd sensing station.When there being developer in developer-containing unit, the light of the light emission part of the 3rd sensor is developed agent and absorbs, the light receiver of the 3rd sensor can not receive the light from light emission part, when the developer in developer-containing unit exhausts, the light receiver of the 3rd sensor can receive the light from light emission part.

The present embodiment, by arranging first sensor 1001 and the second sensor 1002 on image processing system, first handle box 1 and the second handle box 2 arrange the first projection 141,241 detected by first sensor 1001 respectively, and by the second projection 142,242 that the second sensor 1002 detects, in testing process, second projection 142, 242 states first changing the second sensor 1002, and first projection 141, 241 and second relative positions between projection 142/242 are arranged to difference along with dissimilar developer box, like this can according to the first projection 141, 241 when just having started to change first sensor 1001 state, whether the second sensor 1002 changes relative to original state, just can judge the type of developer box, and do not need to arrange different predetermined determination times according to different figure forming apparatuss, the accuracy of detection of developer box can be improved like this, and in the figure forming apparatus that the present embodiment provides and developer box, when the state of the second sensor is changed, just show that this developer box is brand-new, a satisfactory developer box.
