It reads and drives the speaker 50. For example, voice RO
When G pieces of voice information are stored in M, the voice generating means 58 first sets the value of the exponentiation number n to G (s8), and if the voice data A input from the master CPU 40 is 2 ⁿ or more. The voice information specified by the power n is read (s9
→ s10). If the audio data A is less than 2 ⁿ , the power n
The process of decrementing and decrementing to s9 is repeatedly executed until the power number n becomes 0 (s11, s12).

By the above processing, the voice generating means 58 is
The voice information in which the number of digits corresponding to the most significant digit “1” in the binary notation of the voice data A is preset is determined as the voice information to be notified. That is, the voice generating means 58

Therefore, in the voice data A input from the master CPU 40 to the voice generating means 58, a value in which the most significant digit which takes "1" in binary notation matches the preset number of digits in the voice information to be generated. Has been

FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a structure in the vicinity of a handle which is a movable part of the copying machine. The light blocking plate 10 is attached to the rotating shaft 107 of the handle 109 provided in the fixing device 33.
6 and a pulley 116a are attached, and when the handle 109 is rotated manually, the light shielding plate 106 and the pulley 116a rotate together with the rotating shaft 107. On the other hand, the roller shaft 11a of the heat roller 11 has a pulley 1
16b is attached to the pulleys 116a and 11
A belt 115 is stretched around 6b. Therefore, when the handle 109 is rotated by manual operation, the rotation is transmitted to the roller shaft 11a of the heat roller 11 via the rotation shaft 107, the pulleys 116a and 116b, and the belt 115, and the heat roller 11 rotates.

Manual rotation of the heat roller 11 by operating the handle 109 is detected by the rotation sensor 108. The rotation sensor 108 is, for example, the light projecting element 10.
8a and the light receiving element 108b are transmissive optical sensors that face each other with the light blocking plate 106 interposed therebetween, and the operation state of the handle 109 is detected by a change in the light receiving signal of the light receiving element 108b that receives the light of the light projecting element 108a. . That is, in the state where the handle 109 is not operated and the light blocking plate 106 is not rotating, the light of the light projecting element 108a is maintained in either state of being blocked by the light blocking plate 106, and The light reception signal of the element 108b does not change. On the other hand, when the light blocking plate 106 is rotated by operating the handle 109, the light of the light projecting element 108a is intermittently blocked by the rotating light blocking plate 106, and the light receiving signal of the light receiving element 108b is turned on / off.
Repeat off. Therefore, it is possible to detect that the heat roller 11 is manually rotated when the detection signal of the rotation sensor 108 repeatedly changes.

As shown in FIG. 6, the pulley 116b
An inclined surface is provided on the teeth of the roller shaft 11 of the heat roller 11.
The rotation of the pulley 116b in the direction of the arrow G accompanying the rotation of a occurs via the belt 115 via the pulley 116a and the rotating shaft 107.
Also, it may be prevented from being transmitted to the handle 109 and the driving addition of the heat roller 11 at the time of image formation may be reduced.

That is, by making the teeth of the pulley 16b have the shape shown in FIG. 6, when the pulley 116b rotates in the direction of arrow G, the teeth of the belt 115 are pushed in the direction of arrow H by the inclined surface of the teeth of the pulley 116b. By itself, the rotational force in the arrow F direction is hardly transmitted, and the rotation of the heat roller 11 during image formation is not transmitted to the belt 115, the pulley 116a, the rotating shaft 107, and the handle 109. on the other hand,
The rotation of the pulley 116a in the direction of the arrow E by operating the handle 109 causes the vertical portion of the teeth of the pulley 116a and the belt 11 to rotate.
5 is surely transmitted to the belt 115 by contact with the vertical portion of the tooth, and the rotation of the belt 115 in the arrow F direction is caused by contact between the vertical portion of the tooth of the belt 115 and the vertical portion of the pulley 116b. Reliably transmitted to 116b,
The heat roller 11 can be reliably manually rotated via the handle 109.

The handle 110 provided on the drawer movable portion 112a also transmits rotation to the paper feed roller 12 by a manual operation by the same structure as the handle 109. Further, the light shielding plate 106 may be a reflecting plate, and the rotation sensor 108 may be a reflective optical sensor instead of the transmissive optical sensor. Further, the handles 109 and 11
The rotation of 0 may be transmitted to the heat roller 11 and the paper feed roller 12 via a gear.

FIG. 7 is a diagram showing a structure in the vicinity of a conveyance path opening / closing lever which is a movable part of the copying machine. The transport path opening / closing lever 104 is pivotally supported at the lower end by a transport path drawer 112 via a rotary shaft 105. A grip portion 104a is integrally formed at a lower end portion of the transport path opening / closing lever 104, and a roller 102 is pivotally supported on an upper end portion of the transport path opening / closing lever 104 with respect to a rotation shaft 103. The peripheral surface of the roller 102 is a support base 101 for the conveyor belt 32.
Abut the lower surface of. Due to this contact, the conveyance path opening / closing lever 1
Reference numeral 04 supports the support base 101. A protrusion 104b is formed so as to protrude from an intermediate portion of the transport path opening / closing lever 104.

When the conveyance path opening / closing lever 104 is rotated in the direction of the arrow B to the position shown by the broken line in the drawing while holding the grip portion 104a, the projection 104b forms the light emitting element 60a and the light receiving element 60b forming the opening / closing sensor 60. The light of the light projecting element 60a located between them is blocked by the projection 104b, and
0b does not receive the light of the light projecting element 60a. At this time, the roller 102 pivotally supported on the upper end of the transport path opening / closing lever 104 moves downward and does not come into contact with the lower surface of the support base 101, and the support base 101 loses the support force of the transport path opening / closing lever 104 and is not shown. It moves downward together with the outer conveyor belt 32 and the drawer movable portion 112a, and the paper conveyance path is completely opened.

On the other hand, when the grip 104a is gripped and the conveyance path opening / closing lever 104 is rotated in the direction of arrow C, the roller 1
02 contacts the lower surface of the support base 101 and moves upward while rotating. Along with this, the support base 101 moves upward together with the conveyor belt 32 and the drawer movable portion 112a (not shown), and when it reaches the position shown by the solid line in the figure, the sheet conveyance path is completely closed. At this time, the projection 104b does not block the light of the light projecting element 60a, and the light of the light projecting element 60a is received by the light receiving element 60b. Therefore, it is possible to detect the open / closed state of the sheet conveyance path based on the light receiving signal of the light receiving element 60b forming the open / close sensor 60.

It should be noted that the handles 109 and 110 and the lever 104 can be provided with letters and symbols such as alphabets for identifying them together with an arrow indicating the rotation direction.

FIG. 8 is a flow chart showing a processing procedure of the handling work guidance apparatus according to the embodiment of the invention described in claim 1. Here, in the voice ROM 57, "open front door", "rotate handle 110", "rotate lever 104", "draw transport path, remove paper", "draw fixing unit", "rotate handle 109, remove paper", "fix" A case will be described as an example where 11 pieces of audio information of "part insertion", "transport path insertion", "lever 104 return", "front door closed", and "standby for a while" are stored. The number of digits from 11 to 1 is sequentially set to each of these 11 pieces of audio information.

Paper detection sensor 9 provided on the paper transport path
When the paper jam 2 detects a paper jam between the conveyor belt 32 and the fixing device 33 (s13), the master CPU 40 determines the conveyor belt 3 based on the detection result.
The guide data A = 1399 corresponding to the paper jam generated between the sheet No. 2 and the fixing device 33 is output as the voice generation unit 58.
(S14). The voice generation unit 58 reads the voice information corresponding to the guidance data A = 1399 by the processing of FIG. 4 described above (s15). That is, the guidance data A =
If 1399 is expressed in binary notation, "1010111011"
1 ", and the highest digit number that takes" 1 "is 11 digits.
Therefore, the voice generation control circuit 49 reads the voice information of "open front door" in which the number of digits = 11 is set in the voice ROM 57, and generates a message of "please open the front door".

After that, the master CPU 40 waits for the front door open / close sensor 91c to detect the open state of the front door 20 (s17), and the front door open / close sensor 91c causes the front door 2 to open.
When the opening of 0 is detected, the guide data A is updated with the subtraction value B = 1024 corresponding to the front door 20 (s1
8). The updated guidance data A is output to the voice generation means 58, and voice information corresponding to the updated guidance data is generated (s15). In this case, the updated guidance data A
= 1399-1024 = 375, and when expressed in binary, it becomes "00101110111" and the number of the most significant digits that takes "1" is 9 digits. Therefore, the voice generation control circuit 49 reads the voice information of “lever 104 rotation” in which the number of digits = 9 is set in the voice ROM 57,
The message "Please move the lever down" is generated.

The processing from s17, s18 to s15 is continuously executed until the guidance data A becomes 1 (s1
6). As a result, the value of the guidance data A decreases each time the worker executes the work content of the generated voice information,
In the binary notation of the guidance data A, the number of most significant digits that takes "1" decreases. In the binary notation of the guidance data A, the number of most significant digits that takes “1” is repeatedly decreased, and eventually the guidance data A = 1 and the guidance data A.
In the binary notation of, the highest digit number that takes “1” becomes 1, and the voice information of “please wait for a while” is generated and the processing ends.

According to the above-described processing, in this embodiment, when the occurrence of a jam is detected, the voice information about the plurality of steps of the jam clearing process according to the location of the jam is provided and the work of each step is completed. It can be automatically updated and notified each time it is detected. Therefore, the operator does not need to input the notification of the next audio information each time the work of each process is completed, and the jam clearing process can be smoothly performed.

In this embodiment, the voice generating means 5
Although a plurality of voice information is sequentially notified by 8,
By the same process, the display information on the plurality of steps of the jam clearance process may be displayed on the display unit 45 on the operation panel.

Further, in the processing of s17 in FIG. 8, it is also possible to judge whether or not a predetermined movable part has been operated by the vibration pattern recognition means 95. The vibration pattern recognition means 95 stores in advance FFT analysis data of sounds generated when the movable parts such as the transport path opening / closing lever 104 and the handles 109 and 110 are operated, and vibrations propagating in the main body of the copying machine. The sound or vibration generated after the voice information is generated in s15 is FFT analyzed and
The analysis data is compared with the FFT analysis data stored in advance. In this comparison, the FF of the sound and vibration detected this time
When the T analysis data matches the FFT analysis data of the movable part corresponding to the work content of the voice information notified in s15, the guidance data A is updated in s18.

As described above, by detecting whether or not the movable part corresponding to the voice information notified by using the vibration pattern recognition means 95 is operated, a sensor for detecting the operating state of each of the plurality of movable parts is provided. Since it is not necessary to provide the device, the number of parts can be reduced, and the configuration of the device can be simplified to reduce the cost.

When the sheet 2 detects a jam of the sheet between the conveyance belt 32 and the fixing device 33 (s41), the master CPU 40 determines the conveyance belt 3 based on the detection result.
Guide data A = 1399 corresponding to a paper jam occurring between the fixing device 33 and the fixing device 33.
It is output to 1 (s42). The slave CPU 41 displays the display information corresponding to this guidance data A = 1399 in the ROM 4
Read from 3. That is, when the guide data A = 1399 is written in binary, it becomes “10101110111”,
The highest digit number that takes "1" is 11 digits. Therefore, the slave CPU 41 reads the display information of "open front door" in which the number of digits 11 is set in the ROM 43, and displays the message "Please open the front door" on the display unit 45 (s43).

After that, the master CPU 40 compares the value of the guidance data A with the comparison value C (s44). This comparison value C
Is the maximum value “2047” of the numerical values in which the 12th digit is “0” in binary notation. That is, in s44,
It is determined whether or not the operator has made a malfunction, and the process of s45 is executed according to the determination result. That is, when the worker makes a malfunction, the contents of the display data A are temporarily saved to the stored value D by the processing of s49 to s52 described below, and then the value of the guidance data A is set to 12 in binary notation.
The value "1" is set in the digit and the process returns to step s43 to display "the process currently performed is incorrect".
Therefore, it is necessary to restore the value of the guidance data A after displaying the display information of the malfunction, and when the guidance data A is 2048 or more and the display information of the malfunction is displayed in s44. Guide data A at s45
The content of is returned to the content once saved to the saved value D.

Further, the master CPU 40 waits for the front door opening / closing sensor 91c to detect the open state of the front door 20 after determining whether the display data A is 1 (s46) (s47). , S49), front door open / close sensor 9

Therefore, the slave CPU 41 reads out the display information of “lever 104 rotation” in which the number of digits = 9 is set in the ROM 43 and displays the message of “please move the lever”. The master CPU 40 uses the s47 and s48
→ The process of s43 is continuously executed until the guidance data A becomes 1 (s46).

In s49, when a movable part other than the movable part corresponding to the display information displayed on the display unit 45 is operated, the master CPU 40 outputs another guide data to the voice generating means 58 to cause a malfunction. While the audio information related to is generated, the content of the guidance data A is temporarily saved as the stored value D (s51), and thereafter, the content of the guidance data A is converted into a binary notation with the highest digit number of "1". The value is made to match the number of digits of the corresponding detailed display information, and the process returns to s43 (s52).

That is, in the process of s52, the maximum n for which A ≦ 2 ^n-1 is obtained, and the value of this n is substituted into A = 2 ^{10 + n} + A (1) to obtain the guidance data A. This is the process of updating. For example, if an erroneous operation occurs during the "fixing unit pull-out process" of the guidance data A = 119, the binary number "1" is given.
The maximum ^{n that} satisfies A ≦ 2 ⁿ⁻¹ is 7 from 110111 ”, and the equation (1) is A = 2 ^{10 +7} +119 = 131191. When the updated guidance data A = 131191 is expressed in binary number, it is “100000000001110111”.
And the most significant digit that takes “1” is 18, RO
The detailed display information relating to "drawing of fixing unit", in which the number of digits 18 is set in M41, is read. As a result, the display unit 45 displays a message such as "Pull the left side lever inside the main body toward you to pull out the fixing unit".

As described above, the voice R of the voice generating means 58 is used.
On the OM57, along with the voice information "The process you are currently doing is wrong" that occurs during malfunction, "Please pull the handle on the front of the main unit toward you to open the front door" and "Left lever on the inside of the main unit Detailed audio information such as "Pull out to pull out fixing section". The voice generation control circuit 49 of the voice generating means 58 sequentially reads out these voice information and generates the voice information via the speaker 50. Also,
Copying machine main body 1 with the words "Pull the handle on the front of the main unit toward you to open the front door" and "Pull the left side lever inside the main unit toward you to pull out the fixing unit."
The display unit 45 displays a diagram for instructing the arrangement position of the handle, lever, and the like in FIG.

According to the above processing, in this embodiment, the guidance of the contents corresponding to the progress status of the jam handling work, which is the coping work, is automatically and sequentially displayed on the display unit 45, and the next operation is performed for the worker. It is possible to surely recognize the movable part to be made. In addition, when a worker operates a moving part other than a moving part that should be operated by mistake, along with voice information such as "The process you are currently doing is wrong", "pull the handle on the front of the main unit toward you. Generate detailed audio information such as "Please open the front door" and "Pull the front handle to open the front door."
By displaying a diagram instructing the placement position of the movable part to be operated along with such words, it is possible to make the operator surely recognize that erroneous processing has been executed, and execute accurate operation. Can be urged.

When there are a plurality of movable parts such as handles and levers, each moving part is given a unique color or has a unique symbol so that voice information and display information can be obtained. It is possible to easily specify the movable part to be operated only by the wording of.

Further, by executing the processing of s51 before the processing of s50, when the detailed audio information and the detailed display information are specified, the audio generating means 58 and the slave CPU 4
The guidance data A output to 1 can be shared, and the update process of the guidance data A can be reduced once.

FIG. 14 is a flow chart showing the main part of the processing procedure of the coping work guidance apparatus according to the embodiment of the invention described in claim 6. The sheet detection sensor 92 provided on the sheet conveyance path is, for example, the conveyance belt 32 and the fixing device 33.
When a paper jam is detected between and (s5
3), the master CPU 40, based on this detection result,
The guide data A = 1399 corresponding to the paper jam generated between the conveyor belt 32 and the fixing device 33 is output to the slave CPU 41 (s54). Slave CPU
41 reads the display information corresponding to this guidance data A = 1399 from the ROM 43. That is, guidance data A = 1
When 399 is expressed in binary, it is "10101110111".
Therefore, the highest digit number that takes "1" is 11 digits. Therefore, the slave CPU 41 stores the number of digits 1 in the ROM 43.
Read the display information of "Open the front door" that is set to 1, and display the message of "Open the front door." 4
5 is displayed (s55).

After that, the master CPU 40 sets the flag Fa.
Is reset (s56), and whether the guidance data A is 1 or not and the state stored by the flag Fa are determined (s57, s58), the sensor 113 within the visible range and the sensor 114 outside the visible range are detected. Slave C based on the detection result
The guidance data is output to the PU 41 or the voice generating means 58 (s59 to s63). That is, when the visual recognition area sensor 113 detects that an operator is present within the range in which the display unit 45 can be visually recognized, it is determined whether or not the movable part indicated by the display information displayed on the display unit 45 has been operated. (S60), the content of the guidance data A is set to a value corresponding to the display information of the movable part to be operated next (s61). The flag Fa stores a state where the worker does not exist within a range in which the operator can visually recognize the display unit 45.

On the other hand, the sensor 114 out of the visible area is displayed on the display unit 4.
When it is detected that there is an operator in a range where 5 cannot be visually recognized (s62), the guidance data A is output to the voice generating means 58 (s63), and the flag Ea is set (s6).

It is continuously executed repeatedly until (S57). By this processing, when the operator cannot visually recognize the display unit 45 and cannot recognize the content of the display information, the operator should operate by generating the voice information having the same content as the display information by the voice generating unit 58. The moving parts can be accurately grasped. Further, it is determined whether or not the worker is in the range in which the display unit 45 can be visually recognized in each of the work processes that form the coping work, and it is determined that the worker is not in the range in which the display unit 45 can be visually recognized. Since the voice information is generated only when the operator squats on the front side of the copying machine body 1, the display portion 41 cannot be visually recognized even though the worker is present near the copying machine body 1. In this case, the work content can be surely recognized. In addition, unnecessary voice information is not generated, and no noise is given to anyone other than the coping worker.

FIG. 15 is a flow chart showing the main part of the processing procedure in the handling work guidance apparatus according to another embodiment of the invention described in claim 6. When the paper detection sensor 92 provided in the paper conveyance path detects a paper jam between the conveyance belt 32 and the fixing device 33 (s65), the master CPU 40 determines the conveyance belt based on the detection result.

The flag Fa is a flag for storing the state in which the display information is displayed on the display unit 45, the flag Fb is a flag for storing the state in which audio information is generated, and the flag Fc is the state in which the display on the display unit 45 is stopped. Is a flag for storing.

Next, the master CPU 40 determines whether or not the visual recognition area sensor 113 has detected that an operator is present within the visible range of the display unit 45 (s7).
0), when the operator is present within the range where the display unit 45 can be visually recognized and the flag Fa is in the reset state (s
71), the guidance data A is output to the slave CPU 41, and the display information specified by the guidance data A is displayed on the display unit 45.
And the flag Fa is set (s72, s7
3). After that, the master CPU 40 waits for the operation of the specific movable part instructed by the display information (s7).
4) When the specific movable part operates, the content of the guidance data A is updated (s75).

In the processing of s70, if the in-visual area sensor 113 does not detect an operator in the visible area of the display section 45, the master CPU 40 sets the flag F.
The state of a is determined (s78), and when the flag Fa is in the set state, that is, in the state where the display information is displayed on the display unit 45, the display on the display unit 45 is stopped and the flag F is displayed.
c is set (s79, s80). Further, it is determined whether or not the out-of-viewing area sensor 114 has detected the worker outside the viewable range of the display unit 45 (s81), and when the worker is present at a position where the display unit 45 cannot be viewed, the flag Fb is displayed.
The state of is determined (s82). When the flag Fb is in the reset state, that is, when the voice information is not generated, the guidance data A is output to the voice generation means 58, and the guidance data A is output.
The voice information corresponding to is generated and the flag Fb is set (s83, s84).

The above steps s67 to s84 are continuously repeated until the guidance data A becomes 1 (s7).
6). According to the above processing, in this embodiment, when the worker determines that the display unit 45 is in a position where the display unit 45 cannot be visually recognized, the display of the display information on the display unit 45 is temporarily stopped, and the worker is stopped. Near the display unit 45
When it is determined that the operator is in a position that cannot be visually recognized, voice information is generated, so that it is possible to accurately convey the guidance related to the coping work to the operator, and it is unnecessary to be visually recognized by the operator. Since the display information is not displayed on the display unit 45, power consumption can be reduced.

In the above embodiments, the coping work guide device is applied to the copying machine as an example, but other devices for performing coping work composed of a plurality of steps are described. Also, the coping operation guidance device of the present invention can be applied.
