Abstract

PURPOSE:To allow one detecting element to detect the division of a main body into two and the opening of a front door by providing one detecting element which operates either when the device body is separated into two or when the front door is opened to the upper or lower part of the device body. CONSTITUTION:A microswitch 5 is pressed with a microswitch operating piece 4a to turn on unless the device body is separated into two and the front door 2 is opened. When the front door 2 is merely opened, the operating piece 4a leaves the microswitch 5, which turns off. When the device body is separated into two, the operating piece 4a separates from the microswitch 5 as well to turn off the switch. Thus, the microswitch 5 is turned off when the front door 2 is opened or when the device is divided into two, so it is not necessary to open the front door by separating the device body into two during toner supplementing operation and the inside of the device body is not stained.

に関する。[Detailed Description of the Invention] @) Industrial Field of Application The present invention provides a copying machine in which the main body of the machine can be divided into upper and lower halves and a Jl door can be opened and closed. The present invention relates to a copying apparatus that can be detected by a detector.

が開発されている。(b) Conventional technology Copying devices such as electronic copying machines are widely used, but when copying paper becomes jammed inside the device (t) during the copying cycle, it is easier to remove the jammed paper. For this reason, a koji copying apparatus has been developed in which the main body of the copying apparatus can be divided into two parts, an upper part 1a and a lower part 1b, as shown in FIG.

。On the other hand, many copying apparatuses have a front door 2 on the upper part 1a of the apparatus main body that can be opened for a user to replenish toner or for a service person to replace parts.

どの汚れがついたりほこりが付着するおそれがある。In this type of copying machine, if the main body of the machine is divided into two parts or the front door is opened, this will be detected and the power to the machine will be cut off or the copying operation will not be performed for safety reasons. However, conventionally, the detection of the main body being divided into two parts and the detection of the opening of the front door are performed using separate detection elements. Moreover, in many cases, the front door cannot be opened unless the main body of the device is divided into two. For example, when replenishing toner, the main body of the device is divided into two, even though there is no need to do so. There is a risk of dirt such as fingerprints or dust adhering.

In the device,
One detecting element is provided in the upper part or lower part of the main body of the apparatus, which is activated either by dividing the main body into two or by opening the front door.

(C) is a state in which the front door is not opened and the main body of the device is only divided into two parts. In each figure, 1a is the upper part of the main body, 1b is the lower part of the main body, and 2 is the front door.

クロスイッチでいずれの状態も検出できる。An arm 3 extends forward from the upper part 1a of the main body, and an arm 4 that supports the front door 2 is pivotally supported at the tip of the arm 3. This arm 4 is attached to the back side of the front door 2. The arm 4 is provided with a microswitch operating piece 4a. On the other hand, a microswitch 5 is attached to the lower part 1b of the main body to detect that the main body is divided into two and to detect that the front door is opened.
As shown in FIG. 2(a), the microswitch 5 is pressed and turned on by the microswitch operating piece 4a. On the other hand, when only the front door 2 is opened, the microswitch operating piece 4a is separated from the microswitch 5 and turned off, as shown in FIG. 2(b). Similarly, when the main body of the apparatus is divided into upper and lower halves, the microswitch operating piece 4a is separated from the microswitch 5 and turned off, as shown in FIG. 2(c). In this way, the microswitch 5 is turned off either when the front door 2 is opened or when the main body of the apparatus is divided into two parts, so that either state can be detected with one microswitch.

成が簡単になる。The shapes and mounting positions of @3, 4 and the microswitch operating piece 4a are not limited to those in the embodiment, but basically, the upper part of the main body]a is attached to the arm 3, and the front door 2 is attached to the arm 4. It is important that the microswitch 5 is provided in either the upper part 1a or the lower part 1b. If the microswitch 5 is provided at a position as close as possible to the dividing plane between the upper part 1a and the lower part 1b, the arms etc. will be shorter and the structure will be simpler.

One detection element is provided in the lower part, which is activated by either dividing the device body into two or opening the front door, so one detection element can detect whether the device body is divided into two or the front door is opened. In addition, since the device main body can be divided into two and the front door can be opened independently, there is no need to unnecessarily divide the device main body into two when replenishing toner, and dirt and dust do not enter the inside of the device main body.
