Separate first contact component 27 and second contact component 28 through intermediate plate 282, its distance of minimum separation is 1mm.This be because, if not enough 1mm, toner powder between first contact component 27 and second contact component 28 is pressed and is become big, because of this pressure, along the length direction of developer roll 232, the part transports that quantitative change is big, it is irregular that color-tone concentration partly takes place, or take place image blurring.
As stated, second contact component 28 separates needed interval from the lower edge 28b of conduct with the contact site of developer roll 232, and being provided with at least one can be through the through port 281 of toner.Were it not for through port 281, then the toner between first contact component 27 and second contact component 28 can not be discharged, and therefore, needs at least one through port 281.A plurality of through port 281 occasions are set, and as the width between the through port 281, preferred 0.3-2mm is more preferably 0.5-1mm.
Relation between the contact pressure of the relative developer roll 232 that the contact pressure of the relative developer roll 232 that second contact component 28 causes and first contact component 27 cause is set at: make that the contact pressure of the relative developer roll 232 that the contact pressure of the relative developer roll 232 that second contact component 28 causes causes than first contact component 27 is little.
If the contact pressure of the relative developer roll 232 that second contact component 28 causes is bigger than the contact pressure of the relative developer roll 232 that first contact component 27 causes; Then because of the contact component in downstream promptly first contact component 27 make the toner layer that forms homogenization at upstream side become heterogeneityization; The result; Alongst, problems such as coming off of image blurring, literal splash, shadow tone take place in local upwards of movement or electriferous state variation; Through making the contact pressure of the relative developer roll 232 that the contact pressure of the relative developer roll 232 that second contact component 28 causes causes than first contact component 27 little, can avoid above-mentioned undesirable condition.
Be preferably, the contact pressure of the relative developer roll 232 that second contact component 28 causes be the relative developer roll 232 that causes of first contact component 27 contact pressure 1/21~1/6.In addition, be preferably, the contact pressure of the relative developer roll 232 that first contact component 27 causes is 20~100N/m, is more preferably 30~60N/m.
In addition, second contact component 28 is applied bias voltage, between second contact component 28 and developer roll 232, forming charged polarity is the toner of antipolarity promptly attracts directions towards second contact component 28 with the toner of contrary electric charge electric field.
Because of potential difference (PD) attracts the toner of band against electric charge, flow into the toner of being with contrary electric charge at first contact component 27 in the time of preventing to form toner layer.Therefore, can form the toner layer of band identical polar.As potential difference (PD), be preferably, absolute value 30V~400V is more preferably, 50V~200V.In addition, the function of second contact component 28 also have the subband electric work can, first contact component 27 after this forms toner layers, separates through function, can realize that toner is charged and form the layer of homogeneous.
Metals such as this first contact component 27 and second contact component, 28 preferred SUS304, thickness is 0.1-0.15mm.Except metal, also can used thickness be the higher resin material of hardness ratio such as elastomeric material or silicones of the urethane rubber etc. of 1-2mm.Especially, owing to apply bias voltage, second contact component, 28 preferable alloy, even but in above-mentioned resin material occasion, can low resistanceization through sneaking into carbon black etc., therefore, connect grid bias power supply, and between the developer roll 232, can form electric field.
In the developing apparatus 23 of above-mentioned formation, at first,,, simultaneously, toner is carried out auxiliary charged Yi Bian remove the toner of the contrary electric charge of band Yi Bian second contact component 28 roughly makes the toner layer homogeneous.Then, the toner through second contact component 28 is the thickness that sets by first contact component, 27 homogeneous, is transported to above-mentioned supply position.At this moment, be trapped in toner between first contact component 27 and second contact component 28 is discharged to second contact component 28 through the through port 281 that is located at second contact component 28 the place ahead gradually.
Below, using above-mentioned first contact component 27, second contact component 28 of Fig. 3 is as embodiment 1; Second contact component 28 that uses Fig. 4 is as embodiment 2; Second contact component 28 that uses Fig. 5 is as embodiment 3, and second contact component 28 that uses Fig. 4 is as embodiment 4, with condition (HH shown in following; LL) make an experiment, the result is illustrated in Fig. 7.
The image recording of print area rate 5% is 3P/J
The HH environment: 27 ℃, 80%RH
The LL environment: 10 ℃, 15%RH
The evaluation of the image blurring degree in the table (the dirty dirty degree of so-called background) is the image recording through printing 5%, and according to the grade sample, the naked eyes judgement has or not non-image background dirt dirty, estimates.
Can know that from Fig. 7 comparative example 1,2 does not all have second contact component 28 (restriction in advance), and image blurring or longitudinal stripe takes place.In contrast, embodiment 1-4 is not with the image blurring or longitudinal stripe that causes against the toner of electric charge because of increasing.
This be because; Be provided with developer carrier and put two contact components that body contacts; Simultaneously, make that their relation of contact pressure is suitable, and on second contact component 28, through port 281 is set; Through making the position relation of this through port 281 and first contact component 27 make clear, on developer roll 232, stably form the toner layer of homogeneous.
Have again; Through second contact component 28 is applied electrical bias; The toner of the contrary electric charge of electricity select tape; Reclaim the toner of the contrary electric charge of band in advance at second contact component 28, the toner of the contrary electric charge of band can not be transported to the developing regional with photoreceptor 21 subtends, image deflects such as image blurring or longitudinal stripe in the time of preventing to develop.
Like this; Even the image processing system 1 that this example relates to has two contact components are located at the necessity that developer carrier is put body center top, can eliminate also that developer is trapped between the contact component, extruding is in that therebetween developer, developer is cemented in contact component or developer carrier is put on the body or the powder of the developer that is detained is pressed in the length direction heterogeneity, can not puts the developer thin layer that forms homogeneous on the body at developer carrier.
Meanwhile, can prevent image blurring or image deflects such as literal splash.
Above-mentioned each example only is the example of specializing that is suitable for embodiment of the present invention, but not comes in view of the above technical scope of the present invention is carried out determinate explanation.That is, under the situation that does not break away from spirit of the present invention or purport, the present invention can implement with various other forms.
