【０００１】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、画像形成装置に関し、さらに詳しくは、画像形成装置の空気浄化用フィルタ部材に関するものである。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
本発明の従来技術として、特開２０００−３５６９３３号公報が存在する。本公報に示された技術内容は、画像形成装置の空気浄化フィルタを保持した蓋を画像形成装置本体のエアーダクト内に収納することを特徴としている。しかし、空気浄化フィルタを保持したふたと画像形成装置本体のエアーダクト内との間にシール材がないため、オゾンや粉塵が漏れやすいという欠点があった。
【０００３】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
従来の画像形成装置の空気浄化構造としては、画像形成装置本体のエアーダクト内にオゾンフィルタや防塵フィルタ等の空気浄化フィルタを装着しているが、空気浄化フィルタの定期交換時にサービスマンやユーザーが汚れたフィルタに触らなければならないという欠点があった。
【０００４】
そこで本発明は、これらの欠点を解決し、外装のふたに空気浄化フィルタを保持することで、交換の際には、空気浄化フィルタに触ることなく交換できる画像形成装置の空気浄化フィルタを提供することを目的とする。
【０００５】
さらに、隙間からのオゾンと粉塵もれを防止し、フィルタ交換の際の着脱がスムーズにでき、メンテナンス時の操作性に優れた画像形成装置の空気浄化用フィルタ部材を提供することを目的とする。
【０００６】
【課題を解決するための手段】
前記の課題を解決するために、請求項１記載の発明では、画像形成装置内で発生する有害物質を排除して機外に排出する空気浄化用フィルタを装着した画像形成装置において、該空気浄化用フィルタは、画像形成装置本体の外装の一部の開口部に嵌合する着脱可能な蓋に保持された構成であることを特徴とする画像形成装置の空気浄化用フィルタ部材を最も主要な特徴とする。
【０００７】
請求項２記載の発明では、請求項１記載記の空気浄化用フィルタ部材において、該空気浄化用フィルタ部材が、着脱時および固定時に、前記装置本体の外装の前記開口部および該開口部の下部にあるエアーダクトと接触するフィルタ部材外周部に、滑動性および気密性のあるシール部材を設けたことを特徴とする空気浄化用フィルタ部材を主要な特徴とする。
【０００８】
請求項３記載の発明では、請求項１または２記載の画像形成装置の空気浄化用フィルタ部材は、該フィルタ部材の、空気浄化フィルタを内蔵保持した部分を画像形成装置本体内部のエアーダクト内に収納することができる構成にしたことを特徴とする画像形成装置の空気浄化用フィルタ部材を主要な特徴とする。
【０００９】
請求項４記載の発明では、請求項１から３のいずれか１項に記載の画像形成装置の空気浄化用フィルタ部材において、空気浄化フィルタを保持した蓋を画像形成装置本体にネジまたはスナップフィットのいずれかの固定手段で固定することを特徴とする画像形成装置の空気浄化用フィルタ部材を主要な特徴とする。
【００１０】
請求項５記載の発明では、請求項１から４のいずれか１項に記載の画像形成装置の空気浄化フィルタ部材において、空気浄化フィルタを保持した蓋に取っ手を設けたことを特徴とする画像形成装置の空気浄化用フィルタ部材を主要な特徴とする。
【００１１】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、図面により本発明の実施の形態を詳細に説明する。図１は画像形成装置の空気浄化用部材の上面図と側面図である。防塵フィルタ２とオゾンフィルタ３を保持した外装の蓋１は摺動性のあるシール部材４、５を貼り付けており画像形成装置本体のエアーダクト６内に収納される。
【００１２】
以下、画像形成装置の空気浄化の動作について説明する。図１の画像形成装置の空気浄化システムは、帯電チャージャーで発生したオゾンが、排気ファン７によってエアーダクト６内に吸引され、オゾンを含んだ空気は防塵フィルタ２とオゾンフィルタ３を通過し、浄化され、機外に排出されるシステムである。
【００１３】
一定の期間使用した防塵フィルタ２とオゾンフィルタ３は交換時期がくると、サービスマン又はユーザーが防塵フィルタ２とオゾンフィルタ３を保持した外装の蓋１の取っ手部１−ａを持って機外に引き抜く。この後、新品の防塵フィルタ２とオゾンフィルタ３を保持した外装の蓋１の取っ手部１−ａを持って画像形成装置本体のエアーダクト６内に収納し、交換が完了する。この時、新品の防塵フィルタ２とオゾンフィルタ３を保持した蓋１にシール部材４、５を貼り付けているため、隙間からのオゾンと粉塵もれを防止することができる。
【００１４】
さらにこのシール部材４、５は滑動性のある材質のため、交換の際の脱着がスムーズにでき操作性が良い利点がある。
【００１５】
【発明の効果】
以上説明したように、請求項１では、画像形成装置内で発生する有害物質を排除して機外に排出する空気浄化用フィルタを装着した画像形成装置において、該空気浄化用フィルタは、画像形成装置本体の外装の一部の開口部に嵌合する着脱可能な蓋に保持された構成であることを特徴とする画像形成装置の空気浄化用フィルタ部材によれば、蓋に空気浄化フィルタを保持しているので、交換の際には空気浄化フィルタに触ることなく交換できる空気浄化用フィルタ部材を提供することができる。
【００１６】
請求項２の、請求項１記載の空気浄化用フィルタ部材において、該空気浄化用フィルタ部材が、着脱時および固定時に、前記装置本体の外装の前記開口部および該開口部の下部にあるエアーダクトと接触するフィルタ部材外周部に、滑動性および気密性のあるシール部材を設けたことを特徴とする空気浄化用フィルタ部材によれば、摺動性のあるシール部材を貼り付けているので、スキマからのオゾンと粉塵もれを防止することができ、さらにこのシール部材は滑動性のある材質のため、フィルタ交換の際の着脱がスムーズにできる。
【００１７】
請求項３の、請求項１または２記載の画像形成装置の空気浄化用フィルタ部材において、該フィルタ部材の、空気浄化フィルタを内蔵保持した部分を画像形成装置本体内部のエアーダクト内に収納することができる構成にしたことを特徴とする画像形成装置の空気浄化用フィルタ部材によれば、交換の際には空気浄化フィルタに触ることなく交換でき、シール部材を貼り付けているので、スキマからのオゾンと粉塵もれを防止することができ、さらにこのシール部材は滑動性のある材質のため、フィルタ交換の際の着脱がスムーズにできる。
【００１８】
請求項４の、請求項１から３のいずれか１項に記載の画像形成装置の空気浄化用フィルタ部材において、空気浄化フィルタを保持した蓋を画像形成装置本体にネジまたはスナップフィットのいずれかの固定手段で固定することを特徴とする画像形成装置の空気浄化用フィルタ部材によれば、フィルタ交換の際の着脱がスムーズにできる。
【００１９】
請求項５の、請求項１から４のいずれか１項に記載の画像形成装置の空気浄化フィルタ部材において、空気浄化フィルタを保持した蓋に取っ手を設けたことを特徴とする画像形成装置の空気浄化用フィルタ部材によれば、フィルタ交換の際の着脱がスムーズにできる。
