(composition of developing unit, action)
As in figure 2 it is shown, processing unit 30 has photo-conductor unit 70 and developing unit 80.Photosensitive Body unit 70 is configured with cleaning device 90 in the side of photoreceptor 60, joins in the lower section of photoreceptor 60 It is equipped with Charging system 92.
Photoreceptor 60 only reduces at the region surface current potential exposed by laser L and forms electrostatic latent image. Electrostatic latent image is rotated by photoreceptor 60 and is transported to relative with the developer roll 82 of developing unit 80 Developing regional.
Developer roll 82 is the developer carrier of bearing developer, is arranged at relative with photoreceptor 60 The peristome of the developing room 84 of developing unit 80, has nonmagnetic development sleeve 88 and is built in The fixing Magnetitum 89 of development sleeve 88.Fixing Magnetitum 89 does not rotates, and is comprised developing agent Magnetic medium carries out magnetic absorption and reclaims.Additionally, in the downside of developer roll 82, be provided with attached The thickness of the toner the surface in developer roll 82 (development sleeve 88) is limited in given size Doctor 83.Further, the toner having passed through doctor 83 is transported to the surface of photoreceptor 60.
It is transported to transfer position from the medium P discharged with paper disc, turns for 50 2 times from intermediate transfer belt The toner image that print is colored.Medium P transferred with toner image is transported to fixing device 200, By heating and pressure fixing toner image.Then, the fixing medium having toner image is discharged P。
On the other hand, after the transfer of the toner image for medium P terminates, sense is remained in The cleaned device of toner 90 in body of light 60 is removed.Photoreceptor 60 returns to original state, becomes The holding state formed for image next time.By repeatedly above process action, it is carried out continuously figure As being formed.
Developing unit 80 has: developing room 84, has two transport paths;And developer roll 82, It is set to the first transport path 84-1 from this developing room 84 and exposes a part.At the first transport path 84-1 has stirring, the screw part 230 of conveying developing agent.
As in figure 2 it is shown, development sleeve 88 is driven by sleeve drive motor 88m.Screw part 230 And screw part 250 is driven the most in the same direction by screw drive motor 235m.On the other hand, Photoreceptor 60 is driven by other motors (not shown).
(supply of developing agent and the conveying of developing agent)
Fig. 3 is the brief configuration for illustrating to carry the first transport path 84-1 of the mechanism of developing agent Figure.Although the most not illustrating, but, after this transport path 84-1 of developing room 84 Side has the second transport path 84-2 carried by developing agent to reverse direction.At the second transport path 84-2, There is stirring, the screw part 250 of conveying developing agent and the survey of such as based on developing agent magnetic susceptibility The fixed toner concentration sensor 252 detecting toner concentration.
From toner bottle 32 to developer supply mouth 270 filling developer.Feed from supply mouth 270 Developing agent in developer container from rear side second transport path 84-2 left end enter on front side of first Transport path 84-1, the rotation in arrow 33a direction based on screw part 230 and be circulated, from Left is stirred conveying to right.It is arranged at screw part 250 straight of the second transport path 84-2 Footpath is certain.Positive rotation based on the screw part 250 being arranged at the second transport path 84-2, At rear side, developing agent is carried from right to left.
The developed sleeve of developing agent 88 stirred by screw part 230 at the first transport path 84-1 is inhaled Draw.
The toner concentration sensor 252 of the second transport path 84-2 being arranged at developing room 84 exports Mensuration signal (concentration sensor detection voltage) corresponding to toner remaining amount in developer container.This Outward, in developing room 84, the developing agent of the temperature of the developing agent being additionally provided with in detection developer container Temperature sensor 260.
Based on coming from the output of toner concentration sensor 252, (do not scheme from developer supply device Show) by developer supply mouth 270 filling developer in developer container.Such as, based on toner Supply control signal, to represent the mensuration signal institute of the toner concentration sensor 252 of toner remaining amount The corresponding time, from developer supply device to filling developer in developer container.
It is defeated that the toner supplied from developer supply mouth 270 and carrier (developing agent) are transported to first Send path 84-1, by the positive rotation in the arrow 33a direction of screw part 230, by conveying to arrow 33b direction.
It is arranged at the screw part 230 of the first transport path 84-1 in screw configuration, but, one Part is provided with the part (coarse pitch part) 34 that big and screw rod the diameter of pitch is little.Above it The position of specified altitude h, is provided with the outlet 35 of developing agent.
When developing agent is stirred while being carried along the direction of arrow 33b, in this coarse pitch portion Dividing 34, owing to the transporting velocity of developing agent is slack-off, therefore, developing agent rises on the portion.Fig. 3 In dotted line represent the outer surface line that carried developing agent is overall.
The result that developing agent local rises is that a part of developing agent of the near top of this riser portions is from row Outlet 35 is discharged to the outside.This mechanism utilizes the spilling of the developing agent of local savings to discharge developing agent, Therefore, it is referred to as overflowing developing agent output mechanism.
(soft bonding phenomenon)
But, when scraping developing agent by doctor as described above, easily produce on doctor Raw developing agent condenses attachment, the most so-called soft bonding phenomenon.Such as, if with machine body temperature 45., 50 DEG C, lettering rate 1% to 8% carry out the continuous printing of about page 4000, all can produce soft bonding Phenomenon.Due to this phenomenon, white wire can occur on image.
Then, in order to prevent the attachment of developing agent that this soft bonding phenomenon causes, sleeve drive motor is made 88m carries out reverse rotation, so that development sleeve 88 is along counter-rotating.By this reverse rotation, make phase Moving direction for the developing agent on the development sleeve 88 of doctor 83 is contrary, thus prevents soft viscous The attachment of the toner that knot causes.
In the prior art, sleeve drive motor 235m and screw drive motor 88m synchronize, and make The motor of both sides carries out reverse rotation simultaneously.
So, by the reverse rotation of sleeve drive motor 235m, so that screw part 230,250 Carry out reverse rotation, the movement of the developing agent in the first transport path 84-1, the second transport path 84-2 Direction becomes reverse.Fig. 4 is the figure illustrating this developing agent along the state inversely carried.I.e., The screw part 230 of one transport path 84-1 carries out positive rotation along the direction shown in arrow 36a, aobvious Shadow agent is carried along the direction shown in arrow 36b.
(too much discharging and countermeasure of developing agent)
But, due to the reverse conveying of this developing agent, as shown in Figure 4, at the coarse pitch of screw part Part 34, the height h of the rising of developing agent increases (k > h), the developing agent discharged from outlet 35 Amount increase, use O-level assorted YCMK toner unit in, if passed through Toner concentration sensor 252 detects that toner concentration is the most reduced, then supply developing agent.But, If according to printing state, carry out colored printing when the most less using toner, And printing work terminates all to carry out the reverse rotation of screw drive motor every time, then this toner will not subtract Few, the most not filling developer, then can discharge developing agent too much, thus the height reduction of developing agent.
Fig. 6 is the figure of the height transition illustrating developing agent of the prior art.X-axis takes printing number of pages, Y-axis takes the height of developing agent.I.e., in this case, it is to illustrate always to make screw drive motor 235m Figure with the height h of developing agent during sleeve drive motor 88m reverse rotation simultaneously.Straight line 63 illustrates Entirely without developing agent when making screw drive motor 235m and screw drive motor 88m reverse rotation Highly.Straight line 64 illustrates the height of developing agent required when will not produce picture noise.Based on data Line 65 illustrate and terminate corresponding to each printing work, make screw drive motor 235m and screw drive The height of developing agent during motor 88m reverse rotation.Based on the line 65 shown in Fig. 6 it is understood that If printing number of pages increases, then the height of developing agent the most linearly reduces.
Being directed to this, Fig. 7 is the height illustrating the developing agent in the case of one embodiment of the present invention The figure of transition.I.e., in this case, sleeve drive motor 88m is made to terminate at each printing work Carry out reverse rotation, but, screw drive motor 235m then corresponds to the printing of regulation number of pages and makes it Reverse rotation.
Lines 75 based on data illustrate: sleeve drive motor 88m terminates corresponding to each printing work And carrying out reverse rotation, screw drive motor 235m is carried out corresponding to regulation number of pages (such as S page) The height of developing agent during reverse rotation.As shown in the line 75 of this Fig. 7, the height of developing agent can be Constant.
Fig. 5 is to illustrate the screw drive motor of an embodiment and control the rotation of screw drive motor The figure of configuration example of motor rotation control unit.This motor rotation control unit has: enter printing number of pages The printed leaves counter 501 of row counting;Screw rod reverse rotation number of pages configuration part 502, presets and makes The printing number of pages of screw part reverse rotation;Number of pages comparing section 503, compares the printing number of pages of both sides Relatively;Sleeve drive motor control portion 504;And screw drive motor control portion 505.
Number of pages comparing section 503 is by the counting number of pages of printed leaves counter 501 and screw rod reverse rotation page The circuit that the screw rod reverse rotation number of pages set in number configuration part 502 compares.Sleeve drive motor control Portion 504 processed is positive rotation and the circuit of reverse rotation controlling sleeve drive motor 88m.Screw drive Motor controling part 505 is positive rotation and the circuit of reverse rotation controlling screw drive motor 235m.
It is aobvious that screw part that screw drive motor 235m causes and sleeve drive motor 88m cause The reverse rotation amount of shadow sleeve is to carry out the control of stipulated time reverse rotation in motor rotation control unit Perform number of times.By sleeve drive motor control portion 504 and screw drive motor control portion 505, Be converted to reverse rotation amount from reverse rotation number of pages and export.
Additionally, for ease of understanding, functionally illustrate these circuit, it practice, can also lead to Cross ROM, RAM etc. to carry out storing calculation process.
(action specification based on flow chart)
Below, based on the flow chart shown in Fig. 8, the action of above-mentioned embodiment is illustrated.Start The action of image processing system, first, in A801, in screw rod reverse rotation number of pages configuration part 502 In, operator inputs setting screw rod reverse rotation number of pages.Initial value can be preset.
Then, in A802, perform the actual printing treatment in image processing system, at A803 In, in printed leaves counter 501, printing number of pages is counted.
Then, in A804, detect whether a series of printing work is over.If printing Work is not over, then return to A802, again perform printing treatment.
On the other hand, if finishing printing work in A804, then accumulative printing in A805 Number of pages.In A806, number of pages comparing section 503 compares detection printed leaves counter 501 Whether counting number of pages has reached the spiral shell of regulation set in advance in screw rod reverse rotation number of pages configuration part 502 Bar reverse rotation number of pages.If counting number of pages is not up to screw rod reverse rotation number of pages (being no in A806), Then indicate sleeve reverse rotation control signal to sleeve drive motor control portion 504.Now, sleeve drives Motor carries out reverse rotation, only makes development sleeve carry out reverse rotation (A807).
On the other hand, in A806, if printed leaves counting number being detected by number of pages comparing section 503 The counting number of pages of device 501 has reached screw rod reverse rotation number of pages (being yes at A806), then in A808, Make development sleeve reverse rotation, then, make screw part be also carried out reverse rotation in A809.Now, Number of pages comparing section 503 is to sleeve drive motor control portion 504 and 505, screw drive motor control portion Reverse rotation is sent to indicate control signal.Additionally, the order of A808 and A809 can also be exchanged.
In A810, reset the count value of printed leaves counter, return to A802.
So, terminate to carry out the reverse rotation of development sleeve corresponding to each printing work, corresponding to every The printing of secondary regulation number of pages terminates to carry out the reverse rotation of screw part.Therefore, the inverse rotation of screw part Change fewer than the number of times of the reverse rotation of development sleeve, even if in the few printing of the consumption of toner In the case of, the situation of the height reduction of developing agent is the most little.Accordingly it is possible to prevent owing to developing agent is high The deterioration of the printing image that the reduction of degree causes.
