装置にある。The present invention provides a recording apparatus that forms a toner image on the surface of the image forming body, transfers the toner image to a recording sort, and fixes the toner image, so that at least a unit incorporating the image forming body can be exchangeably taken in and out of the recording apparatus main body. In the recording device, a cover that protects the surface of the image forming body that becomes exposed when the unit is taken out from the recording device main body is fitted to the unit, and the fitted state of the cover is a lock provided on the unit. In the recording device, the cover is locked by means, and the lock of the locking means is released by inserting the unit into the main body of the recording device, so that the cover can be removed from the unit.
以下、本発明を図示例に基いて説明する。 Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained based on illustrated examples.

預だけカバー７をユニット１から押し出すようにする。In the figure, 1 denotes a drum-shaped image forming body 2, a corona discharge vs3 that charges the surface of the image forming body 2, a cleaning blade 4 that scrapes off residual toner from the surface of the image forming body 2, and conveys the scraped toner to a toner reservoir. 6. a unit incorporating a cleaning device equipped with a conveyance roller 5;
Reference numeral 6' indicates a guide rail provided on the recording apparatus main body when the unit 1 is taken out and put in, and 7 indicates a unit lK fitting to protect the surface of the image forming body 2, which is exposed when the unit 1 is taken out from the recording apparatus main body. This is the cover that will be used. The cover 7 is inserted from one end of the unit 1 (the front side in FIG. 1, the right end in FIGS. 2 and 3) to the other end by engaging with the cover guide rails 1a and lb of the unit 1. It is fitted into the unit 1 by pushing it in, and when it is pushed in until it hits, the locking pawl 8 provided on the unit 1 falls into the locking hole 7a of the cover 7 due to spring bias, thereby locking the fitted state. . The unit 1 with the cover 7 fitted in this manner is engaged with the guide rail 6,6' through the unit insertion opening of the recording apparatus main body and pushed in to install the unit 1 into the recording apparatus main body. At that time, when the unit 1 is pushed close to the end of the guide rail 6.6',
The top plate portion 6a of the guide rail 6 pushes one end side of the locking claw 8, causing the locking claw 8 to rotate against the spring bias and escape from the lock hole "7a" of the cover 7, and then the guide rail 6. 6
When the cover is pushed to the end of the guide rail 6, the cover pushing part 6b provided at the back of the guide rail 6 pushes out the cover 7 from the unit 1 by the amount calculated by subtracting the wall thickness of the cover abutting part of the unit 1 from the amount of protrusion. Do it like this.

まれたことの確認がなされる。Therefore, in the cover 7, the unit 1 is the guide rail 6.
It is confirmed that the unit 1 has been completely pushed in because it is not until it is completely pushed in until it hits 6' that the unit 1 can be pushed out and removed by pinching the tip.
本発明によれば、ユニットはカバーを嵌着したま＼記録

とも防止できると云う効果を奏し得る。According to the present invention, since the unit is inserted into the main body of the recording apparatus with the cover fitted, there is no risk that the surface of the image forming body will be damaged by something coming into contact with it during the insertion process. Since the cover can be removed by completely inserting the unit into the recording device main body, the removable cover confirms that the unit has been completely inserted, and the cover is pushed out when the unit is fully inserted. ．． This has the effect of preventing forgetting to remove the cover.

よい。Note that the present invention is not limited to the illustrated example; the unit may also incorporate a developing device or the like, or may not incorporate a cleaning device, etc., and the cover may not be pushed out when the unit is fully inserted. The cover may have a portion that protrudes from the unit when it is fitted into the unit, thereby preventing the cover from being forgotten to be removed.
