Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce the replacing work of originals to improve the operability by inputting simultaneously plural editing contents to copy them continuously. CONSTITUTION:The image of the first original is transferred to a copy paper, and the first original is taken out in an original interchanging device 1 and the second original is set to a prescribed position while the transfer paper is reserved by a reserving device. In case of copying of the second original, the copy paper is sent by a paper feeding roll in a reserving tray 30 or is fed out preliminarily from the tray 30 in accordance with the exposure timing and is sent by a resist roll provided on the way of a transfer paper carrying means 27; and if the resist roll is stopped, it is rotated and driven on the basis of the timing adjustment corresponding to positional slippage operated by a synthesis position signal and an information position signal. The adjustment is so performed that the image of information of the second original formed on a photosensitive body 9 comes to the transfer position just when the synthesis position of the transfer paper carrying the image of the first original reaches the transfer position of the photosensitive body 9. The transfer paper is reserved on the reserving tray 30 and is sent to the transfer position of the photosensitive body 9 again, and this cyclic feeding is repeated by the number of times corresponding to the number of originals to be synthesized.

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).

BACKGROUND ART Various copying machines are known that are equipped with a so-called analog image editing function that extracts necessary parts of multiple manuscripts in an analog manner and edits or combines them onto a single sheet (transfer paper). .

Conventionally, this type of copying machine uses a 1YK document with a hole in the area where the second document should be inserted, and overlaps this and the second document and copies it as one document, or copies the first document. There is a known method in which a sheet is temporarily stored in a sheet storage section inside the machine, and when copying a second document, this sheet is sent again to the transfer position, and a necessary portion of the second document is copied on the same surface as the copy surface of the first document. ing.

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

As described above, the concept of image editing in composite copying apparatuses has been well known, but there has been no book that specifically discloses techniques for improving operability or various functions related to image editing.

Furthermore, in the past, when trying to set an image area, a large number of switches were required and the process was expensive. Furthermore, simultaneous input and continuous copying were not possible.

Purpose The present invention was made based on the background of such a conventional example, and an object thereof 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, the first document set at a predetermined position by the document exchanger IK 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. is imaged and exposed.

The surface of the photoreceptor 9 is uniformly charged by a charger 10 and exposed by an 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 by the developing device 11 and visualized.

The developed image on the photoreceptor 9 is transferred to a transfer paper 14 serving 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 window light body 9 is neutralized, cleaned by a cleaning/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. Therefore, the paper feed section! 2. Transfer paper fed from 13] First, 4 is a crank f provided on the transfer drum 15.
17. The transfer paper 14 is the transfer drum 1
After the first document is clamped to the transfer drum 15 at a position where it does not come into contact with the photoreceptor 9, it is temporarily stored in a state where it is not in contact with the photoreceptor 9.

There is a method of changing the distance between the transfer drum 15 and the photoreceptor 90 in order to keep it in a non-contact state with the photoreceptor 9 during storage, or a method of providing a recess in the part of the transfer drum 15 where there is no transfer paper and placing the recess in the photoreceptor 9. Method of Confrontation A quiet method can be used.

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 taken out 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 second document formed on the photoconductor 9 is transferred to a transfer paper, such as a transfer drum 15, which is fed from a storage device. By rotating the image again, the image is transferred to the same surface as the image of the first original on the transfer paper 1411'c sent to the transfer position. In this way, when images of a predetermined number of documents starting from the third document are transferred and combined onto the same side of one transfer sheet, the transfer sheet 14 is unclamped, fixed by the fixing device 18, and then ejected. The paper is discharged onto the paper tray 19.

The document exchange device 1 can be easily put into place when the document is placed on the copier at the last 20.
Alternatively, a semi-automatic document handling device or a fully automatic document handling device having a feeding belt 21 that feeds and sets manually inserted documents to a predetermined position may be used. .

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 transferring the image of the second original, it is necessary to adjust the deviation between the combining position of the first original and the information position of the second original in the transfer paper feeding direction by adjusting the transfer paper feeding timing. The photoreceptor 9 is rotated with a desired timing shift relative to the rotation of the photoreceptor 9. At this time, in order to avoid the gap 9 between the photoreceptor 9 and the transfer drum 15, the portion of the transfer drum 15 facing the photoreceptor is formed as a recess at the stop position of the transfer drum 15 to avoid direct contact; A structure may be adopted in which the transfer drum 15 moves away from the photoreceptor 9 when stopped.

The storage device can be provided separately from the transfer drum 15 instead of being used as a storage device. For example, as shown in FIG. 2, the paper feeding units 12 and 13 transport the transfer paper to the transfer position by the photoreceptor 9 by the transfer roller 22 and the transfer paper conveyance means 27 having an ID 23°24.25 or a transfer belt 26. After the paper is transferred by known means, the transfer paper is fixed by the fixing device 18, and then passed through the storage path 29, which is switchably provided by the first dart 28, to the storage tray 30. send to When feeding the paper into the storage tray 30, it is always reversed 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 is stored in the storage tray 30, a second original is copied. In the figure, related parts such as the original replacing device 1, the illumination and exposure optical device 8, and the photoreceptor 9 are the same as in FIG. 1, and therefore their explanation will be omitted.

When copying the 2nd JK document, the paper is fed out of the storage tray 30 in advance according to the exposure timing or stopped by a paper feed roller in the storage tray 30 or by a registration roller provided in the middle of the transfer paper conveying means 27. The rotation of the registration rollers is adjusted in accordance with 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 aligned with the photoreceptor. Adjustment is made so that when the transfer position 9 is reached, the image of the information of the second document formed on the photoreceptor 9 is exactly at the transfer position. The transfer sheets are stored in the storage tray 30 in a number corresponding to the number of originals to be combined, and are sent again to the transfer position of the photoreceptor 9, so that they are repeatedly fed.

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

In FIG. 2, another second gate 31 is provided from the fixing device 18 to the first gate 28, and the transfer paper is transferred to the storage tray 3.
0 through the first dart 28, it is in an inverted state 1, that is, it is not inverted after passing through the fixing device, but is stored with the copied side facing up and the leading edge becoming the trailing edge in the figure. A switching path 32 feeding into the tray can be provided. 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 feeding it from the second dart 31 to the storage tray 30 through the switching path 32, and then performing the above-mentioned composite copying operation again on the reverse side. be.

In FIG. 3, 33 is a sorter, which can be connected to the fiK copying machine in place of the paper discharge tray 19 in FIG.

Next, FIG. 4 shows the operation section of the copying machine according to the present invention, and the operation mechanism will be explained with reference to this figure. The operation keys are 10 keys (
1 to 9.0) 34, interrupt key 35, clear/stop key 36, print key 37, density adjustment key 38, standard mode setting key 39, paper feed selection key 40, magnification setting key 41, 1 single side for double-sided originals Double-sided copy key 42 for originals
, a stack key 43, a sort key 44, a left blank key 45, a right blank key 46, a reverse paper ejection key 47, and a composite copy key 48.Although they are not normally visible on the display section 49.50, they are shown in the figure when they are lit. A message appears that indicates that there is.

When copying, it is best to use the keys on the left side of the operation unit, and the functions will be explained starting with the keys on the left side.

The left blank and right blank keys 45 and 46 are keys for adjusting the binding margin, and set the binding margin to 15 mm on the left side of the copied transfer paper.
If you want to make cod, press 1 left blank key - 45 and press
When you input 15 with the 10 key 34, the 7-segment display at the top of the display 49 lights up as 15". This may be blinking, and when you release the right blank key 45, 15# disappears and "1" appears.
Return to The same applies to the right blank key 46.

The composite copy key 48 is used when copying a first original and a second original in a circular manner.

The reverse paper ejection key 47 is used when you want to turn the copy paper upside down and output it to the paper ejection tray 19. When copying from the first original, the ejected transfer paper will have one sheet on the bottom side. Since it is a double copy, if you turn it upside down, you can simply turn over the many ejected transfer sheets and align the pages in order from the first sheet.

The star, key 43, and sort key 44 are well known, needless to say.

Two-sided copy keys 42 for one-sided originals are used when two-sided copying is desired, and there are cases in which double-sided copying is to be performed from a double-sided original, and cases in which it is desired to copy a single-sided original onto both sides.

The paper feed selection key 40 selects the paper feed tray (12, 13). The display section 49 shows that the first paper feed tray is A4, and the second and third paper feed trays are B4.
When A3 is set and the first row is selected, A

The second stage is selected.

In order to set the magnification, the enlargement key and reduction key (magnification setting key 41) are different.
It is displayed on the display section 491C in s increments. For example, when "71%" is displayed, "A3→A4" is also displayed, indicating that the magnification is to reduce A3 to A4.

The 10 keys 34 from 1 to 9.0 are used to set the number of sheets, and are displayed in the upper seven segments of the display section 49.

The lower 7-segment display is for displaying the number of copies. Further, as described above, it is also used when the binding bar width is set using this IO key 34 while pressing the left and right blank keys 45 and 46 for adjusting the binding margin. There are enlargement and reduction keys in the figure, but this is one magnification key, and while holding down this magnification key, use the 10 key 341C to select the desired -
You can enter the book.

The interrupt key 35 is used when an emergency copy is required during copying; pressing it will interrupt Sicobee, and pressing it again after performing the emergency copy will cause
You can return to the previous mode and restart Sycopy.

The explanation of the clear/stop, push key 36, density adjustment key 38, and print key 37 will be omitted.

The standard mode setting key 39 is used to change to a preset mode by pressing it, for example, A4.
If you set a magnification of 100 cm (life size) in the size, the mode used by the previous person is A3 size with a reduction rate of 71%,
If you are in double-sided copying and are in the print mode, you can change the magnification to 100% for A4 size by simply pressing the 1 standard mode setting key 39 to save yourself the trouble of canceling these settings.

The above is the explanation of the key, and in the case of the figure, it is blank on the left.

This shows an example in which the right blank keys 45 and 46, the composite copy key 48, and the reverse paper ejection key 47 are covered because they are not keys that are always used.

Next, the display function of the display section 49,50, which has not yet been described, will be explained.

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

The display uses CRT.

FIGS. 6(&) to (x) show the contents of the CR7 screen.

In Figure (a), 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 portion 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 part of the first manuscript;
65 is a portion of the second manuscript. 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 64b are portions of the first (same document) document.

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

In the figure (,), 64 is a portion of the first original, and 665 is a portion of the second original.

66 is a portion of the third manuscript. 65 and 66 partially overlap, but 65 is copied with priority. 64 is the same size, 65 is 93 inches reduced,
66 represents the position occupied by the copy at 87% reduction.

In figure (f), 64m and 64b are parts of the first original. 65 is a portion of the second manuscript.

64b and 65 partially overlap as shown in the figure (•), but 65 is copied preferentially.

In figure (g), 64m and 64b are parts of the first original. 65 is a portion of the second manuscript.

64b, 65d partially overlap 64g,
64bK (depending on the content to be copied), there are cases where it is necessary to copy both (this is a case where no priority order is 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, the CRT can be distinguished by a solid line at 64, a broken line at 65, and a dashed-dotted line at 66.

When there is a priority order as shown in Figures (,) and (f), the order of priority is red, yellow, blue, etc., or a solid line.

A broken line, a dashed line, etc. can be determined in advance.

Figure (a) The numbers 64, 65, and 66 shown in K indicate the order of the originals. For a color CRT, if you predetermine that the first document is red, the second document is yellow 5, 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.

A pressure-sensitive sheet is used to detect the position of the original. The pressure sensitive sheet 67 has signal lines on the X and Y axes for inputting and outputting each matrix signal, and position information can be inputted by a scan signal from an I10 controller 68 in the diblock diagram.

The I10 controller 68 is connected to a host μepu, which will be described later, via a data bus.

The document editing area is detected based on the scan timing signal of the pressed pressure sensitive sheet 67 and the matrix information of the scan return signal.

Key group 69F'i connected to the area operation unit Edit start key, edit end key, priority key, area shift keys (left, right, up, down), zoom keys (up, down),
It consists of 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 original document, and if this key is not pressed, the position information of the pressure sensitive sheet 67 is canceled.

■ The editing end key is a key that notifies the end of editing the manuscript. When this key is pressed, all area designations are completed. If the editing end key is not pressed, multiple areas within the document can be arbitrarily specified.

■ The priority key is pressed when specifying the area for a large number of documents and if the areas overlap, you want to prioritize and secure 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 area RAM MAP shown in FIG. 8 is changed, and the updated position data is stored when the shift key is released.

For the 691 and 692 keys, the data of the y-axis position of the RAM is updated.

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

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

■ The color specification 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. Good judgment.

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 transfer paper is placed on the pressure-sensitive sheet 67. The area surrounded by four corners inside the transfer paper is an image editing area. Furthermore, FIGS. 11(a) and 11(b) are diagrams showing the area shift state, and FIG. 12 is a diagram showing the R at that time.
This is an AM map. In FIG. 7, 70 and 71 are dry nozzles, and 72 is a comparator.

Next, the optical illumination section will be explained.

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

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 T-shape by a group of mirrors 3 to 6 and a lens 7. be done.

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.

The trap that changes the size of the image performs variable-magnification projection.

I) The magnification conversion in the mirror scanning direction is based on the surface speed τ of the photoreceptor 90.
0 and the first mirror scanning speed υ. If the magnification is m, then m = - τ (This does not apply to full-exposure copying machines that use flash exposure, etc.) ii) The magnification conversion in the direction perpendicular to the 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,
6 and correct the total path by Δt. If the focal length of the lens is f, then Δm=(-!--1)f When using a zoom lens, correction of the total path can be omitted.

Image position transformation is achieved by the following means.

i) Position conversion 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 14 with the photoconductor when transferring the toner image formed on the photoconductor. Ru. (It is best to keep the timing relationship between the photoreceptor and the transfer paper constant and change the mirror scanning start timing.) 11) Image position conversion in the direction perpendicular to 1) 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 certain information is to be exposed for a partial area of the original area A, an image is formed on a partial area of the area B of the photoreceptor. The photoreceptor corresponds to copy paper or transfer paper. Now, when the lens 7 is moved in the direction [T] perpendicular to the optical axis, it moves from the partial area on the photoreceptor to the partial area b', which is moved by a distance t in the direction in which the lens 4 has moved.

In other words, 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 and on the copy paper in the direction perpendicular to the direction of movement of the copy paper. .

If used together with magnification conversion by moving the lens 7 along the optical axis pressure, 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 copy designated position using the control device.

It is set by K to control the movement device of the υ lens by a signal.

For example, the structure for moving the lens is shown in Fig. 14 and Fig. 1.
As shown in Fig. 5, the lens stand 73 on which the lens 7 is fixed is supported by the 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 a motor 77VC either directly or via a belt or the like. Structures that move in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis can be utilized. The lens bracket 74 is fixed to the optical system frame 75, but when pressure is applied by the idper 78 to guide the movement, the lens can be smoothly reciprocated without being tilted.

If 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 made movable in the optical axis direction, magnification can be changed.

To convert the image position, in addition to the above-mentioned method of controlling the copy paper feed timing and controlling the movement of the lens, the original can be moved in one direction or two orthogonal directions together with the original placing glass. Adjustment methods are also available.

We will discuss the next pressure control section.

Yx (β1.βri is half data of each erase element selection data changed by βl and β2.

The amount of movement of the optical axis is expressed as k (β1 yt), and the value of k changes depending on the zoom magnification when copying the image area.

The ON timing of the registration row 2 clutch is a(α1
-xl) is expressed as 10z. The field is the number of squares per unit length of the above-mentioned α5, and 2 is the number of register rollers and clocks during normal copying.

When there are multiple color development units, the ON/OFF timing of the development drive units is changed based on which unit is selected, and the unit corresponding to the input color is selected. Ru.

The storage tray paper feeders are driven at timings so as to feed the transfer paper stored in the tray when an even-numbered image area is copied.

Reference numerals 620 to 622 are resistors and photo-in cracks that detect the notches of a circular pan having radial notches that rotate in synchronization with the photosensitive drum and generate clock pulses. The timing of the copier is controlled by this number of pulses.
