Problems solved by technology

In the case where the opening and closing sequence is not specified, it is necessary to confirm which opening and closing parts are opened and closed one by one, thus delaying the progress of the operation.
[0018] In view of the above-mentioned problems existing in the existing interlock switch mechanism, the present invention provides a switch actuation device, an interlock mechanism, and an image forming apparatus. It is easy to confirm the state of the closed opening and closing parts when they are accidentally opened

Abstract

The invention is to provide switch actuation device with stable interlinking switch structure which can not result in upsizing for the device, a interlinking device for using the switch actuation device and a image forming device. The invention comprises a first lever member201 capable of rocking; a second lever member 203, rocking bi-directionally using fulcrum supported by the first lever member201 as pivot, a rocking end facing to switch actuation device; a first and a second actuation member 204, 205, selectively rocking the first or the second lever member 201, 203 pushed by moving body 300, 301. Because the first and the second actuation member 204, 205 pivots along moving direction of moving member of 300, 301, which reduces moving contact, and the first and second lever member 201, 203 are oppositely contacted with cam shape 204B, 205B, sensitivity can be maintained in rotation whether error of movement amount of moving member is big or not.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a switch actuating device, an interlocking device mechanism, and an image forming device, in particular to an actuating structure for an interlocking switch. Background technique [0002] Among the switches used for switching operations such as power supplies, there is a type of interlock switch that can perform switching operations according to the open and closed states. [0003] Regarding the application of the interlock switch, for example, an interlock switch may be provided in the image forming apparatus. [0004] Examples of the image forming apparatus include copiers, printers, facsimile apparatuses, and printing machines. Some of the outer walls constituting the housing of these devices are opened and closed for maintenance such as paper jam handling, toner replenishment, and replacement of consumable parts. [0005] An interlocking mechanism is provided inside the casing with an openable and closable outer wall, and...
