DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a double-sided copying machine equipped with a device for converting the front and back sides of paper (including copy paper, recording paper, and other types of paper). To explain in more detail, especially in a copying machine that performs double-sided copying, when the paper is reversed to the transfer unit and re-fed in order to form an image on the back side of the paper that has been copied on one side, the paper that has been fixed is transferred to the next one. The present invention relates to a double-sided copying machine equipped with a device for converting the front and back sides (reversing) in front of a transfer section for copying. Furthermore, if the final copying format is single-sided copying or double-sided copying, the page order of the copy paper will be reversed on the final processing device such as a collator or sorter, so regardless of the copying format, the page order will be reversed. The present invention relates to a double-sided copying machine equipped with a front-back converting device for aligning copy sheets on the final processing device in a predetermined order.

Conventionally, as a front-back converting device for copy paper, etc., as disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 46-26387 and Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 1977-7544, there has been a device for converting copy paper from its original conveyance path, which is the horizontal direction. There is a known type of device in which the copy paper branches into a vertical conveyance path and the front and rear edges of the copy paper are switched in this vertical conveyance path (the front edge is directed upward and the copy paper is advanced downward from the rear edge side). There is. However, this type of converter has the disadvantage that the longer the length of the copy paper, the higher the height of the converter needs to be.

The front/back converting device 22, which stopped conveyance while holding the rear edge of the copy paper, receives a detection signal of the rear edge of the paper and integrally moves with the side edges of both ends supporting the conveyance roller.
Rotates approximately 180 degrees clockwise (or counterclockwise) around the midpoint between the left and right rollers. Along with this rotation,
Not only does the portion of the copy paper from the center to the rear end wrap around the outer surfaces of the upper two rollers of the front/back conversion device 22, but the rear end of the copy paper, which had been facing right, now faces left. Become. Therefore,
When conveyance is started from the rear end side of the copy paper facing left toward the second conveyance path leading to the storage section 28, the copy paper after leaving the front/back converting device 22 and the copy before entering the front/back converting device 22 are separated. On paper, the front and rear edges are swapped. This back-and-forth conversion simultaneously causes the front and back sides of the copy paper to be replaced. That is, the image surface of the copy paper before entering the front/back converting device 22 faces upward, but the image surface of the copy paper after leaving the converting device faces downward. By changing the front and back sides of the paper by the front-back conversion device 22, the work of turning the paper over necessary for double-sided copying is completed. The specific structure and operation of the front/back conversion device 22 will be described in detail later.

The copy paper that has come out of the front/back conversion device 22 is transferred to the conveyor roller 2.
9, a plurality of sheets are temporarily stacked with the image side facing up in the intermediate storage section 28 for back side copying. The intermediate accommodating section 28 is installed tilted in the downward direction, and the copy paper with high speed is attached to the front end alignment edge 3 of the intermediate accommodating section 28.
0 and stops, and the leading edge of the copy paper (corresponding to the trailing edge before front/back conversion) is automatically aligned on the intermediate storage section 28 by the weight of the paper. Therefore, when one-sided copying is completed, the stacking of paper in the intermediate storage section 28 is also completed, preparation for double-sided copying is completed, and paper refeeding for double-sided copying is started. That is, this housing part 2
Since the leading edge of the copy paper fed from 8 is already aligned prior to back side copying, the leading edge of the copy paper is always kept constant even if the paper size changes, and the leading edge of the copy paper is always kept constant even if the paper size changes. When feeding paper, the paper feed roller 3
1 becomes easier to control, and paper registration during transfer becomes easier.

Next, the copy paper re-fed from the intermediate storage section 28 is sent to the transfer section via the paper feed roller 31, conveyance roller 32, register roller 33, etc., the image is transferred to the back side, and the copy paper is separated and transferred to the fixing device 19. sent. The copy paper, on which the image has been fixed by the fixing device 19, has its surface charge removed by the static eliminator 20, is transported by the conveying roller 21, and then transferred to the front/back conversion device 2.
2, but in the case of single-sided copying and double-sided copying, the page order is reversed, that is, in single-sided copying, the first side is upward, but in double-sided copying, the first side is downward, so If the copy sheets that have undergone double-sided copying are fed into the sorter 25 in this state, they will be sorted, and the order of all the pages of the stacked copy sheets will be reversed. Therefore, in the case of double-sided copying,
Before sending the copy paper to the sorter 25, it is necessary to convert the front and back sides. If the front and back sides are converted in front of the sorter 25, the order of the pages will be naturally aligned when the pages are sorted by the sorter.
