For realizing the object of the invention, below in conjunction with drawings and Examples, the present invention is described in further detail.Should be appreciated that specific embodiment described herein, only, for explaining the present invention, be not intended to limit the present invention.
Referring to Fig. 1, the invention provides a kind of conducting rubber roller, comprise metal shaft core 1 and be coated on the rubber layer 2 of this metal shaft core outer surface, 2 of described rubber layers comprise soft basic unit 21 and at the high rigidity overlayer 22 of described soft basic unit 21 outer formation, in order to reach the hardness requirement of soft basic unit 21, in described soft basic unit 21, be filled with a large amount of softening agents, be wherein filled in the softening agent solubility parameter δ of described soft basic unit 21

1/2.From the close compatible mechanism of solubleness, when the solubility parameter of the softening agent in being filled in soft basic unit 21 is more than or equal to the solubility parameter of rubber constituent of soft basic unit 21, more can prevent that it from outwards separating out migration.Therefore, conducting rubber roller of the present invention requires rubber layer 2 layerings to be set to the softening agent solubility parameter δ of soft basic unit 21 and high rigidity overlayer 22,Bing Dui soft basic unit 21 according to its design and functions
asolubility parameter δ with soft basic unit 21 rubber constituents

bbetween difference limit, both effectively guaranteed the requirement of strength of whole rubber layer 2, can keep again its required flexibility simultaneously, also can prevent the mutual and infiltration of softening agent between soft basic unit 21 and high rigidity overlayer 22, avoid polluting Electrifier frame, photoreceptor, so realized object of the present invention.
In the present invention, be filled in the softening agent solubility parameter δ of described soft basic unit
aat 14-25(J/cm

1/2scope in, can be paraffin oils, naphthenic oil or the hydrocarbon oil of petroleum, coal tar or the coumarone of coal tar system, ointment, glycerine or the castor oil of fat oil system, pine tar, rosin or the tall oil of pine tar system, and the phthalate esters of synthesizing ester, aliphatic dicarboxylic acid esters class or phosphoric acid ester, described softening agent is selected one or more above-mentioned mixing.
Rubber components in soft of the present invention basic unit 21 is polar rubber, can be wherein one or more such as acrylonitrile butadiene rubber, epichlorohydrin rubber, neoprene, hydrogenated acrylonitrile butadiene rubber and urethane rubber and uses.In order to make this layer there is electric conductivity, can mix conductive black, metal powder, ionic conductive agent etc., by its hardness, resistance requirement, can add 1 to 50 mass parts (with respect to the rubber constituent of 100 mass parts).
Certainly, soft basic unit 21 can adopt spongy layer to replace, but in process, is subject to technogenic influence serious, particularly at spongy layer, forms outward in the process of hard layer.While adopting poling method, foamed rubber layer is easily out of shape; Adopt double-deckly while extruding the method for formation, spongy layer is easy to be under pressure in the process of sulfur foam, temperature uneven and cause that foaming aperture is not of uniform size; And while adopting cladding process, because spongy layer is aperture structure, hard glue-line can, to the internal penetration of spongy layer, be subject to the impact of spongy layer structure in surperficial being coated in it, the size of this infiltration is inevitable inhomogeneous, therefore will certainly affect the distribution of hardness and resistance.
Particularly, the Shore A hardness of described soft basic unit 21 is between 10 °-40 °, preferably between 20 °-30 °.Much higher hard can cause the flexibility of rubber roll inadequate, the too low intensity that can reduce rubber roll of hardness.
Particularly, the thickness of described soft basic unit 21 is preferably in 2mm-8mm, if thickness, lower than above-mentioned scope, directly impairs the flexibility of rubber roll, if thickness, higher than above-mentioned scope, can cause the decline of rubber roll intensity, affects the compression deformation of rubber roll.
High rigidity overlayer 22 of the present invention selects non-polar rubber to form, comprise butadiene rubber, Styrene-Butadiene, natural rubber, ethylene-propylene-diene copolymer etc., optimal ethylene-propylene diene copolymerized thing, because it has excellent ageing-resistant performance, can give rubber roll better permanance.
In order to shield little molecule in soft glue-line 21 to external migration, high rigidity glue-line 22 thickness requirements are controlled between 0.3mm-3mm, preferably 0.5mm-2mm.If thickness, lower than this scope, not only affects the intensity of rubber roll, can't shield the micromolecular migration of soft basic unit completely, and thickness is while being greater than this scope, will directly affect the pliability of rubber roll.
Because high rigidity overlayer 22 is exposed to outermost layer, for avoiding its electric conductivity to be subject to the impact of environmental turbulence, high rigidity overlayer 22 is preferably electron conduction.So in order to meet the electric conductivity of high rigidity overlayer 22, preferably fill electronic conductor, can add 1 to 70 mass parts (with respect to the rubber constituent of 100 mass parts) by its hardness, resistance requirement.
High durometer rubber overlayer 22 Shore A hardness are between 40 °-60 °, preferably between 45 °-55 °.
In rubber layer of the present invention, the tectal material of soft basic unit and high rigidity all adopts non-foam material.Except above-mentioned rubber and emollient component, also can add other compositions, as:
Vulcanizing agent: can be sulphur, selenium, tellurium, sulfocompound, superoxide, quinones, maleimide, resene, metal oxide, organic amine, isocyanates etc.
Vulcanization accelerator: can be dithiocarbamates, xanthogenic acid salt, thiurams, thiazoles, sulfenamide, aldehyde amines, guanidine class, Thiourea etc.By the difference of its sulfuration process, goods thin and thick, can add 0.1 to 6 part (with respect to rubber constituent of 100 mass parts).
Activating agent: can comprise the fatty acids such as the metal oxide-type such as zinc paste, magnesium oxide calcium oxide and stearic acid, oleic acid.
Can add suitable aging resister, filling agent etc. according to the service condition of product in addition.
The present invention also provides a kind of imaging device, has conducting rubber roller described above, and described conducting rubber roller can be developer roll, transfer roll.
Below in conjunction with embodiment, the preparation of conducting rubber roller of the present invention is further described.
