As shown in figure 12, in doctor assemblies 40 has been assembled into state on the scraper assembling parts 46, stiffening plate 59 contacts with the preceding assembled portion 48 of assembling parts 46, thus, between preceding assembled portion 48 and plate spring component 57, the relative direction inboard of assembled portion 48 and plate spring component 57 before sealing 87 is compressed in the scraper, assembled portion 48 and plate spring component 57 before flexibly pushing respectively.
And, the occasion that sealing 87 in the scraper has been constituted like this, as shown in figure 13, at the length direction central portion of peristome 41, the size of the above-below direction of assembled portion 48 before must strengthening.Be in order to seal 87 linking part in the clamping scraper reliably by preceding assembled portion 48 and plate spring component 57.Thus, by each sidepiece 88 of sealing 87 in the scraper, the both ends of assembled portion 48 and the gap between the plate spring component 57 before can sealing reliably.Also have, by the linking part 89 of sealing 87 in the scraper, the both ends of assembled portion 48 and the gap between the plate spring component 57 before whole length direction universe seals reliably.Therefore,, also can stop the ink powder at the back side of invading plate spring component 57 to be rolled into the upper end of plate spring component 57 from this back side, can prevent reliably from seepage between the last assembled portion 47 of scraper assembling parts 46 and the plate spring component 57 by this routine structure.
The 1st embodiment: the 3rd example
Figure 14 is the front view (FV) that shows other examples of doctor assemblies 40.And, with the corresponding part of described each, in the additional same reference marks of Figure 14, in its explanation of following omission.
In this doctor assemblies shown in Figure 14 40, the linking part 89 of sealing 87 is configured on the stiffening plate 59 in the scraper, that is, the width of the above-below direction of linking part 89 is wideer, its part and stiffening plate 59 overlay configuration.By adopting such structure, can guarantee the intensity of linking part 89, can prevent the distortion (elongation) of the linking part 89 when sealing 87 is pasted in the scraper.
In this situation,, as shown in figure 15, producing gap 140 by stiffening plate 59 and 57 formed sections portions of plate spring component 130 because linking part 89 is configured on the stiffening plate 59.Therefore, should prevent, as shown in figure 16, in section portion 130, be coated with elastic adhesive 150 from the seepage of the ink powder in this gap 140.
In this example, as elastic adhesive 150, adopt super X (day Language: ス-パ-X, quick-acting joint cement company's manufacturings (the セ メ ダ イ Application System of society), registered trademark.)。Adopt the method for sealing 87 in the bonding plate spring component 57 of super X and stiffening plate 59 and the scraper, preferably as shown in figure 16, super X is spread upon after the length direction both ends of stiffening plate 59, place after ten minutes,, distinguish bonding at half-dried state.Thus, super X is spread upon after the length direction both ends of stiffening plate 59, after placement a few minutes (such as 2 minutes), with make doctor assemblies 40 and scraper in the bonding mutually situation of sealing 87 compare, peeling off during the utilizing again of Delevoping cartridge 26 becomes easily,, can improve its usability again.The 2nd embodiment: the 1st example
As shown in figure 17, in Delevoping cartridge 26, the downside 73 of the 1st opposite face of assembled portion 47 and prevent from as the bending of the 1st supporting member to accompany the top seal 75 of conduct the 1st containment member of using in this gap of sealing between the upper side 74 of the 2nd opposite face of the portion that extends 62 of parts 58 on as the 1st wall portion of scraper assembling parts 46.
Top seal 75 is made up of the sponge material of polyamine fat vacuole end plastics and so on, forms elongated rectangular plate shape.The width that this top seal 75 is set at length direction equates with the width of the length direction of the crooked portion that extends 62 that prevents parts 58, and the width setup of fore-and-aft direction is for holding the 1st the slightly little width of width that extends portion 64.Shown in Figure 18 shade, extend the front edge of portion 64 along each end, be configured in the whole length direction universe of the portion of extending 62, by stickups such as two sides bands.Also have, in the state before doctor assemblies 40 is assembled into scraper assembling parts 46, top seal 75 has downside 73 boxes than assembled portion 47 on when doctor assemblies 40 is assembled into assembling parts 46 and extends the bigger thickness in interval between the upper side 74 of portion 62.
Thus, when doctor assemblies 40 is assembled into scraper assembling parts 46, top seal 75 is compressed to assembled portion 47 and extends relative direction inboard between the portion 62, flexibly pushing is gone up assembled portion 47 and is extended portion 62 respectively, in the whole length direction universe that extends portion 62, can seal assembled portion 47 reliably and extend gap between the portion 62.Therefore, the ink powder that can prevent the upper end invading the back side of plate spring component 57 and be rolled into plate spring component 57 from this back side leaks out from last assembled portion 47 and the gap that extends between the portion 62.
Also have, in last assembled portion 47 with extend that clamping has top seal 75 between the portion 62, therefore for the size decreases of the short transverse (above-below direction) that makes Delevoping cartridge 26, even the size decreases of the short transverse of doctor assemblies 40 also can fully be guaranteed the width of the length direction of top seal 75.Therefore, can guarantee sufficient sealing, prevent from last assembled portion 47 reliably and when extending gap ink powder seepage between the portion 62, can realize the miniaturization of Delevoping cartridge 26 by top seal 75.
And, the downside 73 of last assembled portion 73 and the upper side 74 that extends portion 62 have width at fore-and-aft direction, therefore the width of fore-and-aft direction that can set top seal 75 is bigger, can realize the raising of sealing by top seal 75, can prevent from last assembled portion 47 more reliably and extend the seepage of the gap ink powder between the portion 62.
Bending prevents that parts 58 from by contact site 61 with extend and be bending between the portion 62 and connect, can give bending and preventing that parts 58 from comparing higher rigidity.Therefore, make bending prevent that the contact site 61 of parts 58 from contacting with the back side of plate spring component 57 (face of rear side), by making plate spring component 57 prevent that by bending parts 58 from supporting, can prevent the bending of the deflection of plate spring component 57 and fluctuating etc., its result, by the elastic force of plate spring component 57, can be pressed in push part 60 with trying hard to recommend of homogeneous on the roller 56 of developer roll 39, can on the surface of roller 56, carry the thin layer of ink powder with uniform thickness.Also have, the upper side 74 that extends portion 62 is held concurrently and be the clamping face of top seal 75, thus there is no need on the scraper assembling parts 46 between the assembled portion 47 clamping upper seal the miscellaneous part of 75 usefulness, the quantity that can realize cutting down part.
And, even handle box 18 makes the size decreases of the short transverse of doctor assemblies 40, also comprise the Delevoping cartridge 26 that can reliably prevent the ink powder seepage, therefore can realize miniaturization, corresponding with the miniaturization of its handle box 18, can realize the miniaturization of laser printer.
The 2nd embodiment: the 2nd example
What Figure 19 made other examples of showing Delevoping cartridge 26 wants portion's cross-sectional side view.And, with the corresponding part of described each, in the additional same reference marks of Figure 19, in its explanation of following omission.
In this Delevoping cartridge 26, the top seal 76 of clamping forms from it assembled portion 47 and extends preceding assembled portion 48 and crooked the preventing between the contact site 61 of parts 58 that is rolled between the portion 62 as the 2nd wall portion between assembled portion 47 on the scraper assembling parts 46 and the crooked portion that extends 62 that prevents parts 58.Top seal 76 is made up of sponge materials such as ameripol, as shown in figure 20, comprise the upper side 74 that is configured in the portion of extending 62 integratedly conduct the 1st containment member sealing top 77 and be configured in the sealing front portion 78 of conduct the 2nd containment member of the rear side of plate spring component 57, by two sides band etc., sealing top 77 and upper side 74, sealing anterior 78 are bonding respectively with contact site 61.
Sealing top 77, same with described top seal 75, along end extend portion 64 front-end edge, be provided with in the whole zone of the length direction of the portion of extending 62, have the last assembled portion 47 when being assembled in doctor assemblies 40 on the scraper assembled component 46 and extend the big thickness in interval between the portion 62.Sealing is anterior 78, begins to be connected with sealing top 77, extends to and as the upper surface position contacting of the stiffening plate 59 of the 2nd supporting member always.Sealing front portion 78, under the state before doctor assemblies 40 is assembled on the scraper assembled component 46, has the thick thickness of thickness of the fore-and-aft direction of leaf spring member 57 when being assembled in doctor assemblies 40 on the scraper assembled component 46 and the interval between the preceding assembled portion 48, stiffening plate 59.
Like this, doctor assemblies 40, with respect to scraper assembled component 46, be to assemble like this, utilize bending to prevent that the portion that extends 62 of member 58 from will seal top 77 and pressing against on the assembled portion 47, stiffening plate 59 and preceding assembled portion 48 relative contacts utilize bending to prevent that the contact site 61 of member 58 from will seal anterior 78 and pressing against on the preceding assembled portion 48.Thus, sealing top 77 is compressed in assembled portion 47 and the relative direction that extends portion 62, and flexibly pushing is gone up assembled portion 47 and extended portion 62 respectively.
Again, sealing top 78 is compressed in preceding assembled portion 48 and the crooked relative direction that prevents the contact site 61 of member 58, and difference is preceding assembled portion 48 of pushing and contact site 61 flexibly.Therefore, utilize sealing top 77 positively will go up assembled portion 47 and extend sealing between the portion 62, utilize sealing anterior 78 can positively preceding assembled portion 48 and bending be prevented to seal between the contact site 61 of member 58.The result is, can prevent ink powders in the framework 36 enter before assembled portion 48 prevent between the contact site 61 of member 58 with bending, can prevent positively further that ink powder is from last assembled portion 47 with extend seepage between the portion 62.
Because sealing top 77 and sealing anterior 78 are integrally formed,, can reduce the operation of its assembling so, can reduce the part number than with these occasions that forms respectively again.Again, because stiffening plate 59 contacts with preceding assembled portion 48, sealing anterior 78 is configured in the slit between the upper surface of the downside 73 of assembled portion 47 and stiffening plate 59, so, sealing anterior 78 can engaging-in stiffening plate 59 and preceding assembled portion 48 between, can prevent to produce the slit between stiffening plate 59 and the preceding assembled portion 48, can guarantee certain sealing.
In addition, in this embodiment, be that top seal 76 is bonded on the doctor assemblies 40, but, as shown in Figure 2, also can utilize double sticky tape etc. that top seal 76 is bonded at scraper assembled component 46, scraper assembled component 46 with respect to being stained with this top seal 76 carries out assembly of doctor assemblies 40.
This occasion, shown in Figure 22 A, after the 46 adhesion top seals 76 of scraper assembled component, assembling is such, with doctor assemblies 40 from the back skew back below of top seal 76, skew back top forward, utilize the crooked portion that extends 62 that prevents member 58 will seal on the last assembled portion 47 that top 77 presses against scraper assembled component 46, and utilize bending to prevent that the contact site 61 of member 58 from will seal front portion 78 and pressing against on the preceding assembled portion 48 of scraper assembled component 46.Assembling like this, shown in Figure 22 B, sealing anterior 78 can engaging-in stiffening plate 59 and preceding assembled portion 48 between, stiffening plate 59 contact really with preceding assembled portion 48, can will seal between the upper surface that front portion 78 positively be configured in the downside 73 of assembled portion 47 and stiffening plate 59.
