Then, enter for the guide part 121,122 being oriented to when assembling photoreceptor 8 to photoreceptor shown in Fig. 6,7 Row explanation.
Figure 10 is the skeleton diagram for representing the 1st guide part 121, the 2nd guide part 122 etc..
In the image processing system of this embodiment, when assembling photoreceptor 8, it is necessary to so that before smooth scraper plate 30d End is in regular flexure direction (lead) flexure.In addition, it is desirable to the group in a manner of cleaning balde 11a front end does not crimp Fill photoreceptor.
When assembling photoreceptor in a manner of cleaning balde 11a front end does not crimp, preferably as described in patent document 1 Assembling mode.That is, preferably photoreceptor 8 relative with cleaning balde 11a's to crimp direction substantially opposite direction (in figure left Side) move and assemble the mode of photoreceptor.As long as smooth scraper plate 30d front end is in the structure of (reverse) flexure in cleaning balde side Into, so that it may by photoreceptor 8, right side is installed from figure.That is, as long as so that the right side court from figure of photoreceptor 8 moves left and assembled i.e. Can.Thus, can be while causing the surface of photoreceptor 8 to be moved in smooth scraper plate 30d regular flexure direction, while assembling photoreceptor 8, and, can the direction that crimps of photoreceptor 8 relative with cleaning balde 11a's assemble photoreceptor 8 substantially in parallel.But in this reality Apply in form so that smooth scraper plate 30d front end is bent in side (lead) opposite with cleaning balde 11a.Therefore, will be photosensitive Body assembling occasion in right side from figure, smooth scraper plate 30d front end is caused to be bent with regular flexure direction opposite direction.
Then, in this embodiment, the guide part 121,122 of shape shown in Figure 10 is oriented to.It is as a result, flat Whole scraper plate 30d front end is bent in regular flexure direction (lead), and, cleaning balde 11a front end will not crimp, Photoreceptor 8 can be assembled.
As shown in Figure 10, the line A of above-below direction in the figure that the 1st guide part 121 passes through from the axis center of photoreceptor relatively, if Put in side opposite with being configured with each blade member 11a, 30d side.1st guiding parts 121 has spigot surface 121a and bearing surface 121b, the spigot surface the 121a substantially right oblique upper extension in figure, are oriented to, the bearing surface when assembling photoreceptor 8 121b is as described later, when photoreceptor 8 is assembled, photoreceptor is abutted with it.
So, it is opposite with being configured with each blade member 11a, 30d side by the way that 121 relative line A of the 1st guide part is arranged on Side, when being intended to the right direction assembling from figure of photoreceptor 8 so that photoreceptor 8 abuts with the 1st guide part 121.Thus, can prevent Only the right side from figure of photoreceptor 8 is assembled, and smooth scraper plate 30d front end is bent with the opposite direction away from rule flexure direction, can be prevented Only photoreceptor is assembled.
Also, the spigot surface 121a of the 1st guiding parts 121 is the curved surface of arc-shaped, when the diameter of photoreceptor 8 is set into D, From the photosensitive side front end of the 2nd guide part 122, the distance untill the spigot surface 121a of the 1st guide part 121 turns into D+a2.This Sample, more than distance of the photosensitive side front end of the 2nd guide part 122 untill spigot surface 121a is the diameter of photoreceptor, therefore, Photoreceptor 8 can be assembled between the 1st guide part 121 and the 2nd guide part 122.
Also, when photoreceptor 8 is positioned at into framework 100, from the center of photoreceptor 8 to the bearing surface 121b of the 1st guide part 121 Untill distance be (2/D)+a1.Thus, when photoreceptor 8 being positioned at into framework 100, photoreceptor 8 does not contact with bearing surface 121b. In the above description, it is illustrated with the diameter of photoreceptor, but as long as change above-mentioned diameter D into assembling photoreceptors 8, installation With the 1st guide part 121 to photoreceptor on part diameter.Such as:1st guide part 121 and photoreceptor Axle 8a is to occasion, above-mentioned diameter D is the photoreceptor diameter of axle.Also, the brush of photoreceptor 8 and above-mentioned 1st guide part 121 be to occasion, Above-mentioned diameter D is the diameter of the brush of photoreceptor.Also, with above-mentioned 1st guide part 121 to part be with being scheduled on the axle of photoreceptor On gear occasion, above-mentioned diameter D be gear diameter.
Then, illustrated using assemblings of the Figure 13 of Figure 11 mono- to photoreceptor 8 towards framework 100.
Figure 11 is the figure of appearance for illustrating to insert photoreceptor 8 between the 1st guide part 121 and the 2nd guide part 122, Figure 12 Be represent cause photoreceptor 8 crimped with cleaning balde 11a and smooth scraper plate 30d before state figure.Also, Figure 13 is to represent to feel Body of light 8 be assembled on framework after appearance figure.
When photoreceptor 8 is assembled on the framework of cartridge processing 23, first, from the right oblique upper shown in Figure 11, will feel The axle 8a of body of light 8 other end is inserted in the embedded hole 102 shown in Fig. 7.Then, by the another side of photoreceptor 8 from such as Figure 11 Shown right oblique upper, from assembling photoreceptor 8 between the 1st guide part 121 and the 2nd guide part 122.
So, the photoreceptor 8 assembled by the 1st, the 2nd guide part from right oblique upper is as shown in figure 12, with cleaning balde 11a's Front end and smooth scraper plate 30d front end connect.Also, now, because of the counter-force of cleaning balde, the counter-force of smooth scraper plate and photoreceptor 8 deadweight, photoreceptor 8 is pressed towards right obliquely downward in figure, with the spigot surface 121a and bearing surface 121b of the 1st guide part 121 Intersection X is contacted.Now, the center P after the center P of photoreceptor assembles with respect to photoreceptor 8 is located at right oblique upper.
Now, even if photoreceptor 8 is pushed into towards arrow D1 directions in figure, photoreceptor 8 is also only pushed to the 1st guide part 121, photoreceptor 8 will not move towards arrow D1 directions in figure.Also, due to being the increased side of frictional force with the 1st guide part 121 To therefore, even if photoreceptor arrow D1 directions in figure are pushed into, also suppressing photoreceptor 8 towards turning round clockwise in figure. Thus, when assembling photoreceptor 8, the surface of photoreceptor 8 can be suppressed and moved towards the flexure side in opposite direction with smooth scraper plate 30d, The front end that smooth scraper plate 30d can be suppressed is bent with prescribed direction opposite direction.
On the other hand, if being pushed into photoreceptor in arrow D2 directions, photoreceptor 8 moves towards left direction in figure.Thus, make The direction that crimps for obtaining the photoreceptor 8 relative with cleaning balde 11a's of photoreceptor 8 assembles substantially in parallel.As a result, it can prevent from cleaning Scraper plate 11a front end curling.If also, photoreceptor 8 is pushed into by arrow D2 directions in figure, the guide part 121 of photoreceptor 8 and the 1st Separate.Thus, the frictional force of the guide part 121 of photoreceptor 8 and the 1st is eliminated, and the one side of photoreceptor 8 is turned round towards counterclockwise in figure, It is while assembled.Thus, can be while causing photosensitive surface to be moved in the regular flexure direction of the front end of smooth scraper plate, while will Photoreceptor 8 is assembled on framework.As a result, smooth scraper plate 30d front end is because of the frictional force with photoreceptor 8 and as regular side To lead bend, can by photoreceptor 8 be arranged on framework on.
So, in this embodiment, the one side of photoreceptor 8 is moved with surface in the regular flexure direction of smooth screed front end Mode turn round, while can the direction that crimps of photoreceptor 8 relative with cleaning balde 11a's assemble substantially in parallel.Thus, can make Cleaning balde 11a, smooth scraper plate 30d is obtained all to bend and assemble well.
Also, in this embodiment, it is configured to:The 121, the 2nd, which is oriented to, by the 1st is oriented to 122 by photoreceptor 8 from arrow D2 directions Assembling.Thus, when causing photoreceptor 8 to be crimped with cleaning balde 11a and smooth scraper plate 30d, without the movement of switching photoreceptor 8 Direction can be assembled.Thus, easily photoreceptor 8 can be assembled on the framework 100 of cartridge processing 23.
As shown in figure 13, if photoreceptor 8 is assembled on framework 100, photoreceptor 8 is carried out automatically cleaning in arrow F2 directions Scraper plate 11a power, in arrow F1 directions by the power from smooth scraper plate.Because be subject to from cleaning balde power F2, scrape from smooth The power F1 and the deadweight Fg of photoreceptor 8 F3 that makes a concerted effort that plate is subject to so that the bearing surface 121b of the guide part 121 of photoreceptor 8 and the 1st Abut.So, abutted by photoreceptor 8 with the bearing surface of the 1st guide part 121 so that cleaning balde 11a and smooth scraper plate 30d can keep deflected well.Moreover, the photoreceptor 8 that will be assembled in by above-mentioned positioning element 50a, 50b on framework 100 It is positioned on framework 100.
Then, pair blade member to connect with photoreceptor 8 is that an occasion illustrates.
Figure 14 is the major part pie graph that the blade member 130 to connect with photoreceptor 8 is the image processing system of one.
According to different image processing systems, there is no lubricant coating device 30 in some devices, the occasion, with photoreceptor 8 blade members to connect be cleaning balde 11a this.Also, according to different image processing systems, also used in some devices Brush roll is cleaned to replace cleaning balde, photoreceptor 8 is cleaned.The occasion, the blade member to connect with photoreceptor 8 are smooth Scraper plate 30d this.
As shown in figure 14, blade member 130 is kept in a manner of front end is towards the centre of gyration of photoreceptor 8 so that preceding End is inversely being bent.
As shown in Figure 15, Figure 16, by photoreceptor 8 from right oblique upper insert the 1st guide part 121 and the 2nd guide part 122 it Between, connect with the front end of blade member 130.From the state, while by photoreceptor 8, side pressure enters down, while causing photoreceptor 8 Turn round, install clockwise towards in figure.Thus, while causing photosensitive surface to be scratched in the regular of the front end of blade member 130 Qu Fangxiang is moved, while photoreceptor 8 can be assembled on framework.As a result, the front end of blade member 130 because with photoreceptor 8 Frictional force and as it is regular flexure direction reverse flexure, photoreceptor 8 can be assembled on framework.
As shown in figure 17, in the image processing system, if photoreceptor 8 is assembled on framework 100, photoreceptor 8 also exists Arrow F4 directions are moved by the power from blade member 130 because of the F5 with joint efforts of the deadweight Fg with photoreceptor 8 towards lower left in figure It is dynamic.Moreover, in the image processing system, mobile direction is also formed with bearing surface after photoreceptor 8 is assembled on framework 121b.Therefore, in the image processing system, after assembling, bearing surface of the photoreceptor 8 also with the 1st guide part 121 abuts, and can make Obtain blade member 130 and keep deflected well.
In addition, in Figure 14 into Figure 17, because of guide part 121 and the position relationship of blade member 130, turn into photoreceptor 8 When being assembled on framework, photoreceptor is easily towards the construction turned round clockwise in figure.
