Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Technical Field The present invention relates to an analog image editing copying machine that extracts necessary parts of a plurality of original documents in an analog manner and edits them onto a single sheet (transfer paper).

2. Description of the Related Art Various copying machines are known that are equipped with a so-called analog image editing function that extracts necessary portions of a plurality of original documents in an analog manner and edits or combines them onto a single sheet (transfer paper).

Conventionally, this type of copying machine uses a first document with a hole in the area where the second document should be inserted, and overlaps this and a second document to make a copy as one document, or copies the first document. The sheet is temporarily stored in a sheet storage section inside the machine, and when copying a second original, this sheet is re-transmitted to the transfer position. Are known.

In the latter copying machine, an exposure relative position adjusting means and an erasing means are used to align each document.

As described above, although the concept of image editing in composite copying apparatuses has been known, there has been no concrete disclosure of techniques for improving operability or various functions related to image editing.

Furthermore, in the past, when trying to set an image area, many switches were required, resulting in an expensive device.

OBJECTS The present invention was made against the background of such conventional examples, and an object of the present invention is to improve the image editing function and the operability of the image editing area input section.

composition Hereinafter, the configuration of the present invention will be explained based on the drawings.

First, the functions of a copying machine, which is the premise of the present invention, will be explained based on FIGS. 1, 2, and 3, and then the present invention will be explained with reference to FIGS.

In FIG. 1, a first document set at a predetermined position by a document exchanger 1 is illuminated by a well-known illumination and exposure optical device 8 including a light source 2, mirrors 3 to 6, and a lens 7.
The photoreceptor 9 is exposed to light.

The surface of the photoreceptor 9 is uniformly charged by the Charcher 10 and exposed to light by the illumination exposure optical device 8 to form an electrostatic latent image. While the photoreceptor 9, for example a photoreceptor drum, is moving, the electrostatic latent image is developed and visualized by the developing device 11.

The developed image on the photoreceptor 90 is transferred to a transfer paper 14 as a copy paper fed from a paper feed section 12.13 at a transfer position.

In FIG. 1, a transfer drum 15 is used as a means for conveying the transfer paper 14 to the transfer position.

After the transfer, the photoreceptor 9 is neutralized, cleaned by a cleaning device 16, and the process from charging is repeated again.

The transfer paper 14 on which the image of the first original document has been transferred is sent to a storage device. In FIG. 1, the transfer drum 15 is also used as a storage device. For this purpose, the transfer paper 14 fed from the paper feed section 12, 13 is first clamped by a clamp 17 provided on the transfer drum 15. The transfer paper 14 is the transfer drum 1
After the image of the first document is transferred from the photoreceptor 9 through one rotation by being clamped by the photoreceptor 5, the transfer drum 15 is temporarily stored in a fixed state on the transfer drum 15 at a position where it does not contact the photoreceptor 9.

There is a method of changing the distance between the transfer drum 15 and the photoreceptor 9 in order to keep it in a non-contact state with the photoreceptor 9 during storage, and a method of providing a recess in a large part of the transfer drum 15 and the transfer paper, and using the recess to connect the photoreceptor to the photoreceptor. A number of methods can be used, such as a method of facing 9.

In the above process, the image of the first original is transferred to the transfer paper, and while the transfer paper is stored in the storage device, the original replacement device 1
At , the first original is unrolled and the second original is set at a predetermined position. Thereafter, the photoconductor 9 is charged, exposed and developed in the same steps as for the first document, and the image of the second document formed on the photoconductor 9 is transferred to the transfer paper fed from the storage device, for example, the transfer drum 15. By rotating again, the image is transferred to the transfer paper 14, which is sent to the transfer position, on the same surface as the image of the first document. In this way, when the parts of a predetermined number of originals starting from the third original are transferred and combined onto the same side of one transfer paper, the first one of the transfer paper
4 is unclamped, fixed by the fixing device 18, and discharged to the paper discharge tray 19.

One document exchange device is simply the document placement glass 20 of a copying machine.
It is also possible to use a semi-automatic document handling device or a fully automatic document handling device that has a feeding belt 21 and feeds and sets manually inserted documents to a predetermined position. You can also do it.

In FIGS. 1 and 2, the transfer drum 15 is also used as a storage device for transfer paper after the image of the first original is transferred until the image of the second original is transferred. Therefore, when I transfer the second original, the combination position of the first original and the 27E (information position of the original in the transfer paper feeding direction) are adjusted by the transfer paper feeding timing, and the photoreceptor rotates 900 times as desired. The photoreceptor 9 is rotated with a timing shift of
The portion facing the photoreceptor 5 may be formed as a recess to avoid direct contact, or the transfer drum 15 may be structured to move away from the photoreceptor 9 when stopped.

The storage device can be provided separately instead of being shared by the transfer drum 15. For example, as shown in FIG. 2, the transfer paper is fed from the paper feed section 12.13 to the transfer position by the photoreceptor 9 (by the transfer paper conveyance means 27 having a roller 22 and a guide 23.24.25 or a feed belt 26). After being transferred by known means, the transfer paper is fixed by a fixing device 18 and sent to a storage tray 30 through a storage path 29 which is switchably provided with a first gate 28 with respect to the path to a paper discharge tray 19. When feeding the paper into the storage tray 30, it is always turned upside down so that the leading end is fed as the leading edge, and in the illustrated example, the paper is fed and stored with the copy side facing down.

After one sheet or a predetermined number of transfer sheets on which the first original is copied are stored in the storage tray 30, the second original is copied. In the figure, a document exchange device 1, an illumination exposure device 8,
The related parts of the photoreceptor 9 are the same as those in FIG. 1, so their explanation will be omitted.

When copying the second original, the registration is stopped by a paper feed roller in the storage tray 30 or by a registration roller that is fed out from the storage tray 30 in advance according to the exposure timing and is provided in the middle of the transfer paper conveying means 27. The rotational drive of the roller is performed with timing adjustment according to the positional deviation calculated by the composite position signal and the information position signal, and the composite position of the transfer paper carrying the image of the first document is the transfer position of the photoreceptor 6. Adjustment is made so that when the second document reaches the transfer position, the information of the second document formed on the photoreceptor 9 is exactly at the transfer position. The transfer paper is stored in the storage tray 30 in a number corresponding to the number of originals to be combined, and is sent again to the transfer position of the photoreceptor 9, so that the transfer paper is repeatedly fed in a circular manner.

When the composite copying of the final original is completed, the transfer paper is discharged to the paper discharge tray 19 by switching the first dart 28.

In FIG. 2, another second dart 31 is provided from the fixing device 18 to the first dart 28, and the transfer paper is in an inverted state from the case where it is sent to the storage tray 30 through the first dart 28. In other words, as soon as it is reversed after passing through the fixing device,
In the figure, a switching path 32 can be provided for feeding the copies into the storage tray with the rounded side up and the front end facing the rear end. When the second dart is sent to the storage tray 30 through the switching path 32 by switching the second dart, in the next copying process, the opposite side of the transfer paper contacts the photoreceptor and is transferred. In other words, double-sided copying becomes possible.

28.31 is provided, and by making it possible to switch between two ways of feeding the transfer to the storage tray, composite copying, double-sided copying, and even double-sided composite copying are made possible. be able to.

That is, double-sided composite copying is possible by performing the above-mentioned composite copying operation on one side, then sending the paper through the switching path 32 from the second gate 31 to the storage tray 30, and then performing the above-mentioned composite copying operation on the back side again.

3 is a sorter, which can be connected to a copying machine instead of the paper discharge tray 190 in FIG. 2.

Next, the display unit according to the present invention will be explained.

The display uses CRT.

FIG. 6 (, ) to y) show the contents of the CRT screen.

In the figure (&), 61 indicates the size of the transfer paper, and scales 62 and 63 indicate the size value of the transfer paper.

64 is a portion of the first manuscript. 65 is a part of the second manuscript. Furthermore, 66 is a portion of the third original. Character displays below the scales 62 and 63 indicate the mode content and transfer paper size of each part of the original.

In Figure (b), 64 is a copy of the first manuscript;
5 is a portion of the second original. The first original is copied at the same size as indicated by the character display. The second original 65 is copied with a reduction of 93% as indicated by the character display.

In Figure (c), 64m and 54b are portions of the first (same document) document.

In Figure (d) ', 64 is a part of the first manuscript, a frame is created on the transfer paper, and a part 65 of the second manuscript is in the reduction mode of 93- in the part shown in the figure. A portion 66 of the third original to be copied is copied in an enlargement mode of 115-.

In the figure (,), 64 is a portion of the first original. 65 is a portion of the second manuscript.

66 is a portion of the third manuscript. 65 and 66 are
This indicates that 65 is copied preferentially, although it overlaps with department and official. Reference numeral 64 indicates the position where the copied image can be shown, with 65 being reduced to the same size by 93 inches, and 66 being reduced by 87 inches.

In figure (f), 64a and 64b are parts of the first original. 65 is a portion of the second manuscript. 64b and 65 partially overlap, as in the figure (,), but 65 is copied preferentially.

54a +' 64b is a portion of the first original. 65 is a portion of the second manuscript. 64b and 65 partially overlap, but 54
This is a case where it is necessary to copy both depending on the content to be copied to m and 64b (this is a case where priority order is not given).

Examples of CRT screens have been shown in FIGS. 6(,) to (g) above. If the CRT is a color type, for example, the figure (
-), displaying 64 in green, 65 in yellow, and 66 in red makes it easier to see. If the CRT is not a color type, 64
They can also be distinguished by a solid line, 65 by a broken line, and 66 by a single point #J line.

When there is a priority order as shown in figures (,) and (f), it is also possible to predetermine the color from the highest priority to red, yellow, blue, etc., or solid line, broken line, dashed-dotted line, etc. It is.

The numbers 64, 65, and 66 shown in the figure (,) indicate the order of the originals. For a color CRT, if you predetermine that the first document is red, the second document is yellow, and the third document is blue, the numbers in 64, 65, and 66 are not needed.

Next, the operation section for image editing is shown in the block diagram of FIG. The pressure-sensitive sheet 67, which uses a pressure-sensitive sheet to detect the position of the document, has signal lines on the X and Y axes for inputting and outputting each matrix signal, and position information is transmitted by the scan signal from the I10 controller 68 in the block diagram. It is now possible to input.

The I10 controller 68 is connected to a host μCPU, which will be described later, via a data bus. The original editing area is detected based on the matrix information of the scan timing signal and scan return signal of the pressed pressure sensitive sheet 67. A group of keys 69 connected to the area operation section are an edit start key, an edit end key, a priority key, an area shift key, (left, right, up, down), zoom key ~ (up,
(down) and color specification keys (black, red, blue).

Determination of whether a key has been pressed is based on a matrix signal of a scan signal for detecting a key code and a return signal in which the scan signal is returned to the I10 controller 68 when a key is pressed.

The keys of the operation section will be explained as follows: (1) The editing start key is a key that notifies the start of editing the document, and if this key is not pressed, the position information of the pressure sensitive sheet 67 is canceled.

(2) The editing end key is a key that indicates the end of editing the manuscript, and when this key is pressed, all area designations are completed from K. If the editing end key is not pressed, a plurality of areas within the manuscript can be arbitrarily specified.

■ The priority key is pressed when specifying an area for a multi-page document and if there is overlap in the area, the priority key should be given to securing the area for the document. When this key is pressed before, after, or during area designation, a priority flag is set in the RAM that stores the number of originals.

■ The area shift key shifts the frame length of the specified area to the left, right, top, and bottom without changing the frame length.

The data in the y-axis direction of the data contents of the areas RAM and MAP shown in FIG. 8 is changed, and the updated position data is stored when the shift key is released.

For the 691.692 key, the RAM y-axis position r-
The tar is updated.

With the 693 and 694 keys, the data of the X-axis position in the RAM is updated.

■ The zoom key is pressed when changing the size of the image within the area frame, and can be used to steplessly instruct the image to be enlarged or reduced.

■ The color designation key is a key that is pressed when creating multiple colors on copy paper.

■ The pressure-sensitive sheet key determines the position information of the editing area frame, and is valid while the editing end key after the editing start key is pressed, and is determined by the xsy-axis scan signal and the matrix signal of the scan return signal. . Scan timing Tx.

The entire area of Txn + Tyn is scanned using the return signals 'ry and z-t signals as the position information of XI)'I, and the position is determined.

FIG. 9 is a diagram showing the pressure-sensitive sheet showing the X-axis and the y-axis, and FIG. 10 is a diagram showing a state in which a transfer paper is placed on the pressure-sensitive sheet 7. The area surrounded by four corners inside the transfer paper is an image editing area. Also, Figure 11 (,), (b
) is a diagram showing an area shift state, and FIG. 12 is a RAM map at that time. In FIG. 7, 70 and 71 are drivers, and 72 is a comparator.

Next, the optical illumination section will be explained.

One of the elements for the collection of images is the conversion of the size of the image on the copy screen and the conversion of the image position. In the analog image editing/copying apparatus to which this application pertains, this is achieved by an optical image projection device (optical system).

In the copying apparatus shown in FIG. 1, an original placed on an original placing glass 20 is illuminated by a light source 2, and the image of the original is projected onto a photoreceptor 9 in a slit shape by a group of mirrors 3 to 6 and a lens 7. .

Further, by scanning the first mirror 3 (velocity V) and the second mirror 4, which are integrated with the light source 2, relative to the original, the image of the original is continuously projected onto the photoreceptor 9.

To convert the size of the image, variable-magnification projection is performed.

1) The magnification conversion in the mirror scanning direction is the surface speed υ of the photoreceptor 9. It is determined by the relative relationship between the first mirror scanning speed and the first mirror scanning speed of 1. If the magnification is m, then O m = - ν (This does not apply to full exposure copiers that use flash exposure, etc.) 11) The magnification conversion in the direction perpendicular to 1) above (the axial direction of the photoreceptor drum) is performed by so-called zooming. .

In the example of FIG. 1, a fixed focus lens is used. Move the lens 7 in the optical path direction by an amount (Δa) that matches the magnification m, and move the mirror 5.
This is achieved by correcting the total value by Δt by displacing 6. If the focal length of the lens is f, Δa=(−−1)f Δt=(m +−−2)f When a zoom lens is used, the total/4′ correction can be omitted.

Image position transformation is achieved by the following means.

i) The positional change in the mirror scanning direction is achieved by changing the relative positional relationship between the image and the transfer paper, that is, the timing of contact of the transfer paper 10 with the photoconductor when transferring the toner image created on the photoconductor. Ru. (The timing relationship between the photoreceptor and the transfer paper may be kept constant and the mirror scanning start timing may be changed.) 11) Image position conversion in the direction perpendicular to i) above is image projection by moving the lens in the direction perpendicular to the optical path. Achieved by position transformation.

FIG. 13 is a plan view of the lens optical path. In FIG. 13, when exposing information in a partial range a of a document range A, an image is normally formed on a partial range A of a range B of the photoreceptor. The photoreceptor corresponds to copy paper or transfer paper. If the lens 7 is now moved by 7 in the direction perpendicular to the optical axis, the partial area on the photoreceptor will be moved a distance t in the direction in which the lens 4 has moved.
It moves to the partial area b' that has moved by the same amount. That is, by selecting the amount of movement of the lens in the direction perpendicular to the optical path, it is possible to arbitrarily select the image forming position on the photoreceptor, particularly on the copy paper, in the direction perpendicular to the direction of movement of the copy paper.

If the lens 7t is moved along the optical axis and is used in conjunction with the magnification conversion by K, variable magnification copying and composite copying can be performed at the same time. The amount of movement of the lens in the direction perpendicular to the optical axis is determined by calculating the deviation between the information position and the specified copying position by the control device, and controlling the lens moving device based on the signal.

For example, the structure for moving the lens is shown in Fig. 14 and Fig. 1.
As shown in FIG. 5, a lens stand 73 to which the lens 7 is fixed is supported by a lens bracket 74, and the lens bracket 7
4 is screwed onto a screw shaft 76 rotatably supported by the optical system frame 75, and the screw shaft 76 is reversibly rotated by the motor 77 directly or via a belt or the like. Structures that move in a direction perpendicular to the axis can be utilized. When the lens bracket 4 is guided in movement by a guide bar 78 fixed to the optical system frame 75, the lens can be smoothly reciprocated without tilting.

The optical system frame 75 itself is screwed onto a threaded rod or the like in the same manner as shown in FIGS. 14 and 15, and is movable in the optical axis direction, thereby making it possible to change the magnification.

To convert the image position, in addition to the method of controlling the copy paper feeding timing and lens movement described above, the original can be moved in one direction or two orthogonal directions together with the original placing glass, and the original setting position ftll1l is changed. ! You can also use methods to adjust.

Next, the control section will be described.

The entire copying machine is controlled by a control program stored in ROM 603. The control program is roughly divided into two parts: one is a program (standby routine) for processing image editing inputs, copy mode inputs, etc., and the other is a timing control program for the copying process load (co-routine). The image editing inputs processed in the standby routine are image area input from the area operation unit and area layout input from the keyboard.

Y! 1 shows half of the selection data of the erase unit and the internal light emitting element. FIG. 2C shows the calculated erase data for each document. Here, 1 is the number of clocks per unit length of αl, Y+(β/l), Y
Each half of the erase element selection data is changed by β, βl, and βtKj.

The amount of movement of the optical axis is expressed as R(β+yl), and the value of R changes depending on the zoom magnification ratio when copying the image area. The registration roller clutch ON timing is &(αH-xl
)+Z. a is the number of clocks per unit length of α1, and z is the number of clocks for turning on the registration roller clutch during normal copying.

When there are development units of multiple colors, the 0N10FF timing of the development drive clutch is changed depending on which unit is selected, and the unit corresponding to the input color is selected.

The storage tray paper feeders are driven at a timing such that when an even-numbered image area is copied, the transfer paper stored in the tray is fed.

Reference numerals 620 to 622 denote resistors and seven interpolators which detect the notches of a circular pan having radial notches that rotate in synchronization with the photosensitive drum and generate a clock/mother pulse. The timing of the copier is controlled by this pulse number.
