As shown in Fig. 2, development sleeve 88 is driven by sleeve drive motor 88m.Screw part 230 and screw part 250 It is driven in the same direction together by screw drive motor 235m.On the other hand, photoreceptor 60 is by the driving (not shown) of other motors.
(supply of developer and the conveying of developer)
Fig. 3 is the brief configuration figure for the first transport path 84-1 for illustrating to convey the mechanism of developer.Although in Fig. 3 In do not illustrate, still, there is convey developer to reverse direction the in the rear side of the transport path 84-1 of developing room 84 Two transport path 84-2.In the second transport path 84-2, there is the screw part 250 and, for example, base of stirring, conveying developer The toner concentration sensor 252 of toner concentration is detected in the measurement of the magnetic susceptibility of developer.
From toner bottle 32 to 270 filling developer of developer supply mouth.It is fed in developer container from supply mouth 270 Developer enters the first transport path 84-1 of front side from the second left end transport path 84-2 of rear side, is based on screw part 230 The direction arrow 33a rotation and recycled, be stirred conveying to the right from left.It is set to the second transport path 84-2's The diameter of screw part 250 is certain.Based on the positive rotation for the screw part 250 for being set to the second transport path 84-2, Rear side conveys developer from right to left.
Attracted in the first transport path 84-1 by the developed sleeve 88 of developer that screw part 230 stirs.
The toner concentration sensor 252 for being set to the second transport path 84-2 of developing room 84 exports in developer container Measurement signal corresponding to toner remaining amount (concentration sensor detection voltage).In addition, being additionally provided with detection in developing room 84 The developer temperature sensor 260 of the temperature of developer in developer container.
Based on the output from toner concentration sensor 252, pass through development from developer supply device (not shown) Agent feeds the filling developer into developer container of mouth 270.For example, signal is controlled based on toner supply, to indicate more than toner It time corresponding to the measurement signal of the toner concentration sensor 252 of amount, is mended from developer supply device into developer container To developer.
The toner and carrier (developer) supplied from developer supply mouth 270 is transported to the first transport path 84-1, By the positive rotation in the direction arrow 33a of screw part 230, conveyed to the direction arrow 33b.
The screw part 230 of the first transport path 84-1 is set in screw configuration, still, part of it is provided with pitch The small part (coarse pitch part) 34 of big and screw rod diameter.The position of specified altitude h above it, is provided with developer Outlet 35.
When it is byed to convey while being stirred that developer is along the direction of arrow 33b, in the coarse pitch part 34, due to aobvious The conveying speed of shadow agent is slack-off, and therefore, developer rises on the portion.Dotted line in Fig. 3 indicates that conveyed developer is whole Outer surface line.
It is that developer locally rises the result is that the near top of the riser portions a part of developer from outlet 35 be discharged To outside.Developer is discharged using the spilling for the developer locally put aside for the mechanism, and therefore, machine is discharged in referred to as spilling developer Structure.
(soft bonding phenomenon)
But when scraping developer by doctor as described above, it is solidifying to be easy the generation developer on doctor Knot attachment, i.e. so-called soft bonding phenomenon.For example, if with machine body temperature 45., 50 DEG C, lettering rate 1% to 8% carries out Page 4000 or so of continuous printing can generate soft bonding phenomenon.Due to the phenomenon, can occur white wire on the image.
Then, the attachment of developer caused by the soft bonding phenomenon in order to prevent makes sleeve drive motor 88m carry out inverse rotation Turn, to make development sleeve 88 along counter-rotating.By the reverse rotation, make aobvious on the development sleeve 88 relative to doctor 83 The moving direction of shadow agent is on the contrary, to prevent the attachment of toner caused by soft bonding.
In the prior art, sleeve drive motor 235m is synchronous with screw drive motor 88m, make both sides motor simultaneously into Row reverse rotation.
In this way, pass through the reverse rotation of sleeve drive motor 235m, so that screw part 230,250 is made to carry out reverse rotation, the One transport path 84-1, developer in the second transport path 84-2 moving direction become reverse.Fig. 4 is to show the developer Along the figure of reverse transported state.I.e., the screw part 230 of the first transport path 84-1 is along side shown in arrow 36a To positive rotation is carried out, developer is conveyed along direction shown in arrow 36b.
(the excessive discharge of developer and its countermeasure)
But due to the reverse conveying of the developer, as shown in figure 4, in the coarse pitch part 34 of screw part, developer The height h of rising increase (k > h), the amount for the developer being discharged from outlet 35 increases, in the colors using O-level In the unit of the toner of YCMK, if detecting that toner concentration is reduced by toner concentration sensor 252, supply To developer.But if colored print is carried out in the state of in contrast less using toner according to printing state Brush, and printing work terminates the reverse rotation for carrying out screw drive motor every time, then and the toner will not be reduced, therefore not mended To developer, then developer can be discharged too much, so that the height of developer reduces.
Fig. 6 is the figure for showing the height transition of developer in the prior art.X-axis takes printing number of pages, and Y-axis takes developer Highly.It i.e., in this case, is to show always to make screw drive motor 235m and sleeve drive motor 88m reverse rotation simultaneously When developer height h figure.Straight line 63, which is shown, absolutely not makes screw drive motor 235m and screw drive motor 88m inverse The height of developer when rotation.Straight line 64 shows the height of developer required when will not generate picture noise.Based on data Line 65 show and terminate corresponding to each printing work, when making screw drive motor 235m and screw drive motor 88m reverse rotation Developer height.Based on line 65 shown in fig. 6 it is understood that the height of developer is several if printing number of pages increases Linearly reduce.
In view of this, Fig. 7 is the figure of the height transition of the developer in the case where showing one embodiment of the present invention. I.e., sleeve drive motor 88m in this case, is made to terminate to carry out reverse rotation in each printing work, still, screw drive electricity The printing that machine 235m then corresponds to regulation number of pages makes its reverse rotation.
Line 75 based on data is shown: sleeve drive motor 88m, which corresponds to each printing work, to be terminated and carries out reverse rotation, The height of developer when screw drive motor 235m corresponds to regulation number of pages (such as S pages) and carries out reverse rotation.Such as the Fig. 7 Shown in line 75, the height of developer can be constant.
Fig. 5 is the motor rotation control for showing the rotation of screw drive motor and control screw drive motor of an embodiment The figure of the configuration example in portion processed.The motor rotation control unit includes the printing page count 501 counted to printing number of pages; Screw rod reverse rotation number of pages configuration part 502, presets the printing number of pages for making screw part reverse rotation;Number of pages comparing section 503, to double The printing number of pages of side is compared;Sleeve drive motor control unit 504;And screw drive motor control unit 505.
Number of pages comparing section 503 is will to print counting number of pages and the screw rod reverse rotation number of pages configuration part 502 of page count 501 The circuit that the screw rod reverse rotation number of pages of middle setting is compared.Sleeve drive motor control unit 504 is control sleeve driving motor The positive rotation of 88m and the circuit of reverse rotation.Screw drive motor control unit 505 is the dextrorotation for controlling screw drive motor 235m Turn and reverse rotation circuit.
The reverse rotation of development sleeve caused by screw part caused by screw drive motor 235m and sleeve drive motor 88m Amount is the execution number that the control of stipulated time reverse rotation is carried out in motor rotation control unit.It is controlled by sleeve drive motor Portion 504 and screw drive motor control unit 505 are converted to reverse rotation amount from reverse rotation number of pages and export.
In addition, for ease of understand, functionally illustrate these circuits, in fact, can also by ROM, RAM etc. come Carry out storage calculation process.
(action specification based on flow chart)
In the following, being illustrated based on flow chart shown in Fig. 8 to the movement of above embodiment.Start image forming apparatus Movement, firstly, in A801, in screw rod reverse rotation number of pages configuration part 502, operator inputs setting screw rod reverse rotation page Number.Initial value can be preset.
Then, in A802, the actual printing treatment in image forming apparatus is executed, in A803, in printing number of pages Printing number of pages is counted in counter 501.
Then, in A804, a series of printing work is detected whether processing is over.If printing work is not over, A802 is then returned to, executes printing treatment again.
On the other hand, if finishing printing work in A804, add up printing number of pages in A805.In A806, Whether the counting number of pages for comparing detection printing page count 501 in number of pages comparing section 503 has reached in screw rod reverse rotation page Preset defined screw rod reverse rotation number of pages in number configuration part 502.If counting number of pages is not up to screw rod reverse rotation number of pages (being no in A806) then indicates that sleeve reverse rotation controls signal to sleeve drive motor control unit 504.At this point, sleeve drives Motor carries out reverse rotation, and development sleeve is only made to carry out reverse rotation (A807).
On the other hand, in A806, if detecting the counting page of printing page count 501 by number of pages comparing section 503 Number, which has reached screw rod reverse rotation number of pages (being yes in A806), makes development sleeve reverse rotation then in A808, then, in A809 Screw part is set also to carry out reverse rotation.At this point, number of pages comparing section 503 is electric to sleeve drive motor control unit 504 and screw drive Machine control unit 505 sends reverse rotation instruction control signal.In addition, the sequence of A808 and A809 also can be interchanged.
In A810, the count value of resetting printing page count returns to A802.
In this way, corresponding to each printing work terminates to correspond to regulation number of pages every time to carry out the reverse rotation of development sleeve Printing terminate to carry out the reverse rotation of screw part.Therefore, the reverse rotation of screw part becomes the reverse rotation than development sleeve Number it is few, even if the case where height of developer reduces, is also seldom in the case where the few printing of the consumption of toner.Cause This, can prevent the deterioration that image is printed as caused by the reduction of developer height.
(effect, variation of the invention etc.)
According to above embodiment, even if screw part carries out reverse rotation, the developer height of riser portions will not be reduced, Thus, it is possible to obtain the image forming apparatus that the image deterioration thus constituted is few.
But the composition for making developer rise to specified altitude not only can be change as embodiment described above directly Diameter is also possible to make other compositions of screw part deformation etc..
