As the method cleaning the toner remained on photoreceptor, use the cleaning doctor method utilizing rubber scraper, because of Miniaturization device can be manufactured for this.
For improving the wearability of cleaning doctor, the unit removing discharging product to be increased, or carrier collection can be increased Unit is to collect the microgranule load occurring the edge caused because of the attachment on image bearing member surface to be caused to crush along with BCO Body.BCO refers to Bead Carry Over, refers to owing to electrostatic attraction causes Component Vectors to be transferred to photoreceptor (image maintaining part Part) phenomenon on surface.
It addition, for the wearability improving cleaning doctor, it is possible to use high rigidity or high modulus material are protected as with image Hold the material of the part of component contact.This high modulus material can serve as monolayer rubber scraper, but it is said that in general, in some situation But middle wearability obtains improving elastic reduction.Elastic reduction shows due to rubber-like loss of properties, and therefore elongation becomes difficulty. Because elongation difficulty, along with the generation of BCO, the foreign body such as the such as carrier fragment being embedded in image holding member surface passes through During contact portion between edge and the image holding member surface of cleaning doctor, foreign body chases after the power making edge deformation from material, Thus in some cases in order to prevent marginal end from can not deform, blade edge is easily broken.
Further, since high-modulus (high rigidity) material has higher permanent elongation, permanent strain is (forever in some cases Deformation for a long time) may deteriorate.Therefore, if the amount of permanent strain increases, then can not maintain contact pressure, result is in some cases Cleaning may be caused bad.
For preventing the edge of above cleaning doctor from crushing, when foreign body passes through edge and the image holding member of cleaning doctor During contact portion between surface, marginal end is made up of the low-durometer material allowing this marginal end deformation (elongation), and this is favourable 's.It addition, from the viewpoint of preventing above permanent strain, low-durometer material is also advantageous.
But, owing to using these low-durometer material that wearability can be made to deteriorate, it is impossible to maintain clean-up performance for a long time.
Therefore, cleaning doctor is by the ground floor contacted with photosensitive surface and the back layer structure not contacted with photosensitive surface Become, and the material of ground floor preferably meet following formula (1)~(3):
Formula (1) 3.92≤M≤29.42
Formula (2) 0 < α≤0.294
Formula (3) S >=250
(in formula (1)~(3), M represents 100% modulus (MPa), and α represents on load-deformation curve, from 100% strain To 200% strain, the change (Δ stress) of stress and the ratio { Δ stress/Δ dependent variable of the change (Δ dependent variable) of dependent variable =(dependent variable be stress-strain amount when 200% be stress when 100%)/(200-100) } (MPa/%), S represents basis The elongation at break (%) that JIS K6251 (using dumbbell shape #3 test film) measures).
Herein, cleaning doctor can have the second layer as back layer is arranged on what the surface with parts to be cleaned contacted Double-deck composition on the dorsal part of ground floor, or include that the back layer of the such as multilamellar such as the second layer, third layer is arranged on ground floor The composition of dorsal part.It addition, hereinafter, it is described in detail further to have and includes ground floor and the double-deck structure of the second layer as back layer The cleaning doctor become.
-ground floor-
The material of the ground floor owing to contacting with parts surface to be cleaned meets formula (1), and therefore scraper shows good clear Clean performance and have excellence wearability.
If 100% modulus M is 3.92MPa (40kgf/cm2More than), then obtain wearability, and remain long-term good Good clean-up performance.On the other hand, if 100% modulus M is 29.42MPa (300kgf/cm2) below, then the material of ground floor Will not be really up to the mark, cleaning doctor has the performance servo-actuated relative to parts to be cleaned, and has played good spatter property.It addition, press down Make the impaired of parts surface to be cleaned.
Additionally, 100% modulus M is preferably 5MPa~20MPa, more preferably 6.5MPa~15MPa.
Additionally, due to the material of ground floor meets formula (2) and (3), therefore resistance to rupture is excellent.

It addition, α is preferably less than 0.2, more preferably less than 0.1, α are preferably closer to as the 0 of lower physical limit value.
When the elongation at break S shown in formula (3) is more than 250%, though the foreign body on parts surface to be cleaned with When strength collides the marginal end of ground floor, it is also possible to suppression edge within the relatively short time crushes.Thus, owing to inhibiting Edge within the relatively short time crushes, thus the clean-up performance that long term maintenance is excellent.
It addition, elongation at break S is preferably more than 300%, more preferably more than 350%.Crush in view of edge, preferably Bigger elongation at break S.But, when elongation at break S is less than 500%, (viscous to the following on band cleaning member surface Attached property) will not be excessive, and inhibit the increase of frictional force with parts to be cleaned, thus inhibit the mill of ground floor marginal end Consumption (edge abrasion).Thus, it is contemplated that edge wear away, elongation at break S is preferably less than 500%, more preferably 450% with Under, it is even more preferably less than 400%.
Additionally, the peripheral temperature around the cleaning doctor of image forming apparatus, i.e. ambient temperature during use is the most about It it is 10 DEG C~60 DEG C.Thus, when the glass transition temperature Tg of the material of the ground floor contacted with parts surface to be cleaned is the highest In use time ambient temperature time, cleaning doctor keeps its rubber-like character, thus maintains the contact pressure of cleaning doctor.Cause And, the lower limit (10 DEG C) of the ambient temperature when glass transition temperature Tg of the material of ground floor preferably no more than uses.
It addition, when the glass transition temperature Tg of the material of the ground floor contacted with parts surface to be cleaned is less than 10 DEG C Time, owing to glass transition temperature Tg is relatively low, resilience R of described material reduces.Therefore, if resilience R is more than 10%, Adhesion and the slip behavior of ground floor marginal end will not be the most slow, it is suppressed that maintain certain deformation state with surface when contacting Rub the appearance of part of parts surface to be cleaned simultaneously.
When deformed shape is adhered and slip behavior releases, limit while maintaining the marginal end shape of ground floor Acies not friction surface, thereby inhibiting plastic deformation local occur.When suppressing the generation of plastic deformation of this local, the The reduction of the adhesiveness between marginal end and the surface of parts to be cleaned of a layer is suppressed, thus inhibits cleaning bad Occur.In order to suppress the plastic deformation of this local, preferably adhere and slip behavior always occurs at the marginal end of ground floor.In order to Making adhesion and slip behavior always occur at the marginal end of ground floor, (this temperature is essentially environment when using to be 10 DEG C in temperature The lower limit of temperature) more than environment in, resilience R is preferably more than 10%, more preferably more than 15%, even more preferably It is more than 20%.
It addition, resilience R measures according to above-mentioned JIS K6255 (1996).
Additionally, modulus M shown in formula (1) uses dumbbell shape #3 test film at 500mm/min according to JIS K6251 (1993) Draw speed under measure and by 100% strain time stress obtain.As measurement apparatus, use by Toyo Seiki The STROGRAPH AE ELASTOMER that Seisakusho, Ltd. manufacture.
It addition, the α value shown in formula (2) is obtained by load-deformation curve.Dependent variable and stress are by following step and side Method obtains.That is, according to JIS K6251 (1993), survey under the draw speed of 500mm/min with dumbbell shape #3 test film Amount, α is obtained by stress when 100% strain and 200% strain.As measurement apparatus, use by Toyo Seiki The STROGRAPH AE ELASTOMER that Seisakusho, Ltd. manufacture.
Additionally, in one aspect of the invention, the vitrification of the material of the ground floor contacted with parts surface to be cleaned The glass transition temperature of transition temperature and soft segment material described later and hard segment materials measures temperature at use viscoelastometer and divides After Saning, determine as the peak temperature of tan δ (loss angle tangent).
Herein, the value of tan δ is obtained by following storage elastic modelling quantity and loss elastic modulus.When will be as stationary vibration Sinusoidal wave strain when putting on linear elastomer, stress is represented by formula (4).
|E*| it is referred to as complex elastic-modulus.Additionally, according to rheology theory, elastomer components and viscoid composition respectively with Formula (5) and formula (6) represent.In described formula, E ' represents storage elastic modelling quantity and E " represent loss elastic modulus.δ represents stress And the phase angle between Ying Bian, and it is referred to as " mechanical loss angle ".
The value of tan δ is by the E shown in formula (7) "/E ' expression, and it is referred to as " loss angle tangent ".When loss angle tangent is higher Time, linear elasticity parts have the character close to caoutchouc elasticity.
Formula (4) σ=| E*|γcos(ωt)
Formula (5) E '=| E*|cosδ
Formula (6) E "=| E*|sinδ
Formula (7) tan δ=E "/E '.
The value of tan δ within the temperature range of-60 DEG C~100 DEG C 5% static strain and the sinusoidal wave stretching vibration of 10Hz Lower RHEOPECTROLER DVE-V4 (being manufactured by Rheology Co., Ltd.) measures.
As it has been described above, the material of the ground floor used in cleaning doctor has the wearability of excellence and resistance to broken simultaneously Property, and maintain good clean-up performance.
Therefore, when there is BCO, also it is unnecessary to the foreign body such as embedding, anchoring on image holding member surface Etc. the foreign body being present on parts surface to be cleaned, particularly embed and set foreign body on a surface, respond and The isolated system for improving wearability or crush resistance arranged in image forming apparatus, thus, it is possible to avoiding device is big Type and the increase of cost.
