Description
제1도는 본 고안 장치의 개략 구성도, 나는 본 고안 장치의 또다른 실시예의 구성도.1 is a schematic configuration diagram of the device of the present invention, I configuration of another embodiment of the device of the present invention.
제2도는 종래 폐기토너량 측정 구조의 사시도.2 is a perspective view of a conventional waste toner amount measurement structure.
본 고안은 복사기에 있어 폐기되는 토너(toner)회수 처리 시기를 사용자에게 아려줄수 있는 폐기 토너량 측정장치에 관한 것으로서 특히 폐기토너통 밑에 압전소자나 스프링과 마이크로 스위치를 설치하여된 복사기용 폐기토너량측정 장치에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a waste toner amount measuring device that can inform the user of when toner waste is disposed in a copier, and in particular, a waste toner amount for a copier in which a piezoelectric element or a spring and a micro switch are installed under the waste toner box. It relates to a measuring device.
종래에는 제2도에 도시된 바와같이 폐기토너통(31)의 대응 측벽부에 투명창(32,33)을 형성하고, 투명창(32,33)중 일측에는 광다이오드(34)를 설치하고 타측에는 수광 트랜지스터(35)를 설치하여 폐기 토너 인출용 파이프(36)에서 폐기토너통(31)에 공급되는 폐기토너가 폐기토너통(31)의 투명 창 부위를 넘어가게 되면 쌓여진 폐기토너(37)가 투명창(32,33)사이에는 광다이오드(34)와 수광트랜지터(35)사이를 차단하게 되어 수광트랜지스터(35)의 출력이 없어져 여기에 연결된 제어부에서 복사기의 패널에 폐기토너통을 비워주어야 한다는 표시등을 점등하고 나머지 필요한 작동을 제어하도록 되어 있으나 광다이오드(34)와 수광트랜지스터(35)의 위치가 정확하게 유지되어야 하므로 설치구조가 복잡하게 되고 또한 폐기토너통(31)에서 폐기토너를 쏟아 버릴때 투명창(32,33)에 폐기 토너가 묻게되면 오동작이 발생되므로 항상 투명창(32,33)을 청결히 유지하여야만 되므로 취급이 어렵게 되는 단점이 있다.Conventionally, as shown in FIG. 2, transparent windows 32 and 33 are formed on corresponding sidewalls of the waste toner container 31, and photodiodes 34 are provided on one side of the transparent windows 32 and 33. On the other side, the light-receiving transistor 35 is installed so that when the waste toner supplied from the waste toner discharge pipe 36 to the waste toner box 31 exceeds the transparent window portion of the waste toner box 31, the accumulated waste toner 37 ) Is interposed between the photodiode 34 and the light receiving transistor 35 between the transparent windows 32 and 33, so that the output of the light receiving transistor 35 disappears, and the control unit connected to the waste toner box is placed on the panel of the copier. The indicator light should be emptied and the remaining necessary operation is controlled, but since the positions of the photodiode 34 and the light receiving transistor 35 must be maintained accurately, the installation structure is complicated and the waste toner is removed from the waste toner box 31. Transparent window when pouring (32 When the waste toner is buried in the 33, malfunction occurs, so that the transparent windows 32 and 33 must be kept clean at all times, which makes the handling difficult.
본 고안은 이러한 종래의 단점을 해결하기 위하여 광다이오드 및 광트랜지스터의 사용을 회피하므로서 폐기토너통에 투명창의 설치가 불필요하게 되어 제조 원가를 낮출 수 있으며 폐기토너통 밑에 압전소자나 스프링과 마이크로 스위치를 설치하여 폐기토너통에 소정량의 폐기토너가 쌓이면 무게가 증가됨을 감지하도록 하므로서 광다이오드와 광트랜지스터의 정밀구조가 필요 없고 폐기토너통(31)에서 폐기토너를 쉽게 쏟아 버릴 수 있도록 하여 취급이 간편한 복사기용 폐기 토너량 측정 장치를 제공하는 것을 목적으로 하여, 이하 첨부된 도면을 첨부하면서 본 고안의 구성 및 작용효과를 설명하면 다음과 같다.The present invention avoids the use of photodiodes and phototransistors in order to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks, thereby eliminating the need for the transparent window to be disposed in the waste toner box, thereby reducing manufacturing costs, and reducing piezoelectric elements, springs, and micro switches under the waste toner box. It is installed so that the weight increases when a certain amount of waste toner is accumulated in the waste toner box, so that the precise structure of the photodiode and the phototransistor is not required, and the waste toner can be easily spilled from the waste toner box 31 so that it is easy to handle. For the purpose of providing a waste toner amount measuring apparatus for a copying machine, the configuration and effect of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
제1도 a를 참조하면 본 고안 장치는, 폐기 토너 인출파이프(1), 폐기토너통(2)이 설치된 복사기용 폐기토너량 측정 장치에 있어서, 폐기토너통(2)의 밑에 고무판(3)을 설치하고, 그 밑에 압전 소자 블라켈(4)과 압전소자(5)를 설치하여서된 구성으로서 이러한 구성의 작용효과는 폐기 토너 인출 파이프(1)에서 나오는 폐기토너가 폐기토너통(2)에 쌓이게 되면 폐기토너통(2)의 중앙에 쌓인 폐기 토너의 중량이 합해지므로 고무판(3)을 통하여 압전소자 블라켓(4)에 압력이 가중되고 이에 따라 압전소자(5)에서 출력 전류가 증가된다.Referring to FIG. 1A, the device of the present invention is a waste toner amount measuring apparatus for a copy machine provided with a waste toner drawing pipe 1 and a waste toner box 2, wherein the rubber plate 3 is disposed under the waste toner box 2; And the piezoelectric element blael 4 and the piezoelectric element 5 thereunder, and the effect of this configuration is that the waste toner coming from the waste toner take-out pipe 1 When accumulated, since the weight of the waste toner accumulated in the center of the waste toner box 2 is added together, the pressure is applied to the piezoelectric element bracket 4 through the rubber plate 3, and thus the output current is increased in the piezoelectric element 5.
소정 전류레벨 이상으로 압전소자(5)에서의 출력전류가 증가되면 공지의 제어부가 작동되어 복사기의 제어 패널에서 폐기 토너를 회수하라는 표시 기능을 행하고 필요한 제어 기능을 행한다.When the output current from the piezoelectric element 5 increases above a predetermined current level, a known control unit is operated to perform a display function for collecting waste toner from the control panel of the copier and to perform a necessary control function.
또한 제1도 b에서는 제1도 a의 구성에서 압전소자(5) 및 압전소자블라켈(4) 대신에 스프링(6)으로 폐기토너통(2)을 지지하되, 폐기 토너통(2)의 밑에 마이크로 스위치(7)를 설치하여된 구성이 나타나 있다. 이러한 구성의 작용효과는 폐기토너 인출파이프(1)에서 나오는 폐기토너가 폐기토너통(2)에 쌓이게 되면 스프링(6)이 폐기토너통(2)과 폐기토너의 중량에 의하여 압축된다. 폐기토너통(2)에 어느 정도 이상 폐기토너가 쌓이게 되면 스프링(6)이 압축되어 마이크로 스위치(7)의 가동자(7')가 폐기토너통(2)의 밑면에 눌려져서 마이크로 스위치(7)가 오프되므로 공지의 제어부가 작동되어 복사기의 제어 패널에서 폐기 토너를 회수하라는 표시기능을 행하고 필요한 제어 기능을 행한다.In FIG. 1B, the waste toner container 2 is supported by a spring 6 in place of the piezoelectric element 5 and the piezoelectric element blade 4 in the configuration of FIG. The configuration shown by installing the micro switch 7 is shown below. The effect of this configuration is that when the waste toner from the waste toner take-out pipe 1 accumulates in the waste toner bottle 2, the spring 6 is compressed by the weight of the waste toner bottle 2 and the waste toner. When the waste toner is accumulated in the waste toner container 2 to a certain degree, the spring 6 is compressed so that the mover 7 'of the micro switch 7 is pressed against the bottom of the waste toner container 2 so that the micro switch 7 Is turned off, so that a known control unit is operated to perform a display function for collecting waste toner from the copier's control panel and perform the necessary control function.
이상에서 설명한 바와 같이 본 고안에 의하면 폐기 토너통의 중량변화를 측정하여 필요한 표시기능 등을 행하게 되어 폐기 토너통에 투명창 등을 형성하는 등의 특수제작 필요가 없어지고 가격도 절감이 되며 또한 복사기의 운전중에도 폐기토너가 비상되어 오동작의 염려가 없어 기기의 신뢰성이 향상 되는 것이다.As described above, according to the present invention, the weight change of the waste toner container is measured to perform a necessary display function, thereby eliminating the need for special manufacturing such as forming a transparent window in the waste toner container, and reducing the cost. The waste toner is emergency even during the operation, so there is no fear of malfunction and the reliability of the device is improved.
