ていた。 A conventional cleaning device includes a conveying means for conveying the toner removed from a recording medium between the container and the main body of the cleaning device in order to collect the toner in a specific container. The toner collection container is attached to the main body of the copying machine, and toner is collected by the action of the toner conveying means. Therefore,
Increasing the toner storage capacity requires increasing the size of the container itself. However, when the toner container is discarded by the conveying means, the toner falls to the lower part and accumulates there. Therefore, the toner does not reach every corner of the toner container, and the toner spills from the toner disposal port before the container is full, especially before the fullness is detected, and the interior of the copying machine is contaminated with toner.
＜発明の目的＞

It consists of 18 photocouplers. The toner collection container 11 is connected to the toner transport means 10
And the container holder 13 is set so that it can move approximately up and down by the amount of play between the transport roller 10 and the container opening 11 -1 . The photocoupler 18 is fixed to a support member 19 of the main body of the copying machine, as shown in FIG. The shielding plate 17 passes between the receiving and emitting light of the photocoupler 18 as the tray 16 moves. The spring 14 is hooked on the adjustment member 20,
By appropriately changing the mounting position of the adjustment member 20, the spring pressure can be adjusted. Shielding plate 17
is rotatably supported on the support shaft 19-1 of the support member 19, and in this embodiment, due to the balance around the support shaft 19-1 of the shielding plate 17, the shield plate 17 is rotated clockwise. be.

A document table 25, an illumination device 26, an optical means 27, a charging corona discharger 2, a developing device 3, a static eliminating lamp 7, a static eliminating device 5, a photoreceptor 1, and a cleaner section 6 are provided. Further, a container holder 13 that holds the toner collection container 11 disposed at the end of the cleaner section 6 is also attached to the first main body 21 side. As described above, when the first main body 21 is opened, the toner collection container 11 tilts as the first main body 21 rotates. In other words, container 1
The toner conveying means 10 comes into contact with the edge of the opening 11 -1 of the container 11 and lifts the container 11 . At this time, although the container 11 tries to rotate around the toner conveying means 10, the holder 13 restricts the rotation, and the container 11 is lifted as it is as shown in FIGS. It is spaced apart from the main body 23. Therefore, the collection container 11 is similarly inclined in accordance with the inclination due to the rotation of the first main body.

8, a transfer corona discharger 4, a fixing device 29, a paper discharge tray 30, etc. are provided. In addition, a tray 16 corresponding to the toner collection container 11 described above,
A toner recovery amount detection device is provided on the second main body side. The collection container 11 is simply placed on a tray, and when the first main body 21 rotates, it is separated from the tray 16, and is gradually moved away from the tray 16 without being influenced by the tray. Tilt and lift. The first main body 21 and the second main body 23
is constructed so that it can be opened along the paper conveyance path.

動作可能な状態にある。 In the above configuration, when the empty recovery container 11 is placed on the receiving tray 16, the receiving tray 16 comes into contact with the shielding plate 17 due to its own weight, and the shielding plate 17 rises at the portion facing the photocoupler 18, and the fifth As shown in FIG. b, the photocoupler 18 enters a state in which light is blocked between the received and emitted light. The output of the photocoupler 16 during this installation is sent to the main body of the copying machine as an operable signal. After that, as the collected toner T accumulates in the collecting container 11, the compression spring 14 expands according to the amount of accumulated toner, and the shielding plate 17 gradually rises at the portion facing the photocoupler 18. The shielding plate 17 blocks light between the reception and emission of the photocoupler 18 until just before the collection container 11 is full of collected toner, so that the copying machine remains in an operable state as long as the collection container 11 is not full.

のままで複写が実行されるのを防止することがで
きる。 When it is full, the shielding plate 17 passes upwardly between the receiving and emitting light of the photocoupler 18 and does not block the light, as shown in FIG. 5c. The output of the photocoupler 18 when the copying machine is full is sent to the main body of the copying machine as an operation stop signal. Therefore, when the collected toner is full, copying cannot be performed unless the collected toner is discarded. Next, when the collection container 11 is removed from the receiving tray 16 when discarding the collected toner, etc., the shielding plate 17 is removed as shown in FIG. 5a.
The light passes upward between the light receiving and emitting light of the photocoupler 18, and the light is not blocked. As a result, it is possible to detect by the output of the photocoupler 18 whether the collection container 11 is not placed on the tray 16, and the output is sent to the copying machine body as an operation stop signal in the same way as when the container is full. Therefore, it is possible to prevent copying from being performed while the collection container 11 is not installed.
又、回収容器１１の未設置状態または、回収ト

効に行うことができる。 After the empty collection container 11 is placed on the tray 16 as described above, as copying is performed, the collected toner T is deposited on the collection container 11 as shown in FIG. 6a. In this case, as shown in FIG. 6a, the opening 1 of the collection container 11
1 -1 , and there is a large space in the corner of the container 11, that is, there is a large storage area, and the toner spills from the opening 11 -1 before the detection device detects that the collection container 11 is full. I had something to put out. However, the main body of the copying machine can be divided into upper and lower parts, and the first main body 21 can be rotated upward as shown in FIG. 6b. As a result, the bottom portion diagonal to the opening 11 -1 is inclined downward. Therefore, container 11
The toner T accumulated near the opening 11 -1 flows in the direction of inclination, and the toner is also accommodated in the corner portions.
In other words, the state of accumulation of toner T in the toner collection container 11 is made uniform. Therefore, when the first main body 21 is closed, the accumulation state of the toner T in the container 11 is made uniform as shown in FIG. It can be carried out.

It can be done. When the first main body 21 is opened to remove the jammed paper, the collection container 11 is lifted up as the first main body 21 rotates, and is raised above the second main body 23, as shown in FIG. spaced apart in location. Therefore, the paper transport path is separated,
Paper jammed in the transport path can be easily removed without the path being obstructed by the inclined collection container 11. As explained above, in connection with various opening operations, the toner T in the toner collection container 11 is
The state of deposition is made uniform.

The toner collection container can be accumulated until it is full, and the toner can be prevented from spilling into the copying machine through the gap in the opening of the collection container and contaminating it before the collected toner is full (before the fullness is detected). Furthermore, when the upper and lower bodies are opened, the collection container is lifted together with the opened upper body and separated from the lower body, so the separation part (opening part) of the upper and lower bodies is not obstructed by the collection container. The paper removal process becomes easier.
