Abstract

The present invention provides an image forming apparatus, a lock device, and a lock unit capable of preventing a cover that is opened and closed when attaching or detaching a developer accommodating portion from being pried open during locking. In the locking device (11), the restricting part (150) and the locking cover (111) are respectively provided with engaging parts (155, 161), and the above-mentioned engaging parts (155, 161) are respectively included when the locking cover (111) is closed. The abutment surfaces (156, 162) facing each other and engaged with each other, each abutment surface (156, 162) is not parallel when the lock cover (111) is closed, and the lock cover (111) is driven by the drive source (140) Displacement in the opening direction when not driven causes either one or both of the engaging parts (155, 161) to bend, and the abutting surfaces (156, 162) become parallel.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an image forming apparatus that forms an image using a developer, and a locking device and a locking unit applied to the image forming apparatus. Background technique [0002] In an electrophotographic image forming apparatus, a developer accommodating portion for accommodating a developer such as toner is detachable. Then, an image forming process for forming an image on a sheet using the developer supplied from the developer accommodating portion is executed in the image forming apparatus. In addition, such an image forming apparatus is provided with a cover that is opened and closed when attaching and detaching the developer storage section. [0003] In addition, in an image forming apparatus in which a plurality of developer storage parts are detachable, it is conceivable to provide a lock cover that restricts removal of the developer storage parts whose remaining amount of developer has not reached the lower limit...
