DEVELOPING DEVICE INSERTION/EXTRACTION STRUCTURE AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS

摘要

Provided is a developing device insertion/extraction structure, including a developing device that is inserted to and extracted from an apparatus main body along a longitudinal direction, and includes a first restriction target section formed on a lower portion and a second restriction target section formed on a side portion, a first restricting section that is formed in the apparatus main body, and restricts displacement of the first restriction target section in a horizontal direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction according to insertion or extraction of the developing device with respect to the apparatus main body, and a second restricting section that is formed in the apparatus main body, and restricts displacement of the second restriction target section in a vertical direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction according to the insertion or the extraction of the developing device with respect to the apparatus main body.

1. A developing device insertion/extraction structure, comprising:
a developing device that is inserted to and extracted from an apparatus main body along a longitudinal direction, and includes a first restriction target section formed on a lower portion and a second restriction target section formed on a side portion; a first restricting section that is formed in the apparatus main body, and restricts displacement of the first restriction target section in a horizontal direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction according to insertion or extraction of the developing device with respect to the apparatus main body, wherein a part on a near side in an inserting direction of the first restricting section has a width of a vertical wall surface that opposes the first restricting section toward the closer side in the inserting direction of the first restriction target section and that gradually widens; and a second restricting section that is formed in the apparatus main body, and restricts displacement of the second restriction target section in a vertical direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction according to the insertion or the extraction of the developing device with respect to the apparatus main body.
