Description

Conducting rubber roller and manufacture method thereof
Technical field
The present invention relates to be suitable for electrophotographic copier or image forming apparatus such as printer, fax, have good charged, conducting rubber roller and manufacture method thereof that transfer printing is stable.
Background technology
In the past, in the conducting rubber roller that uses in the image forming apparatus such as electrophotographic copier or printer, fax, usually use by contain carbon, metal oxide waits the electron conduction rubber of giving electric conductivity, perhaps waits the ionic conductivity rubber of giving electric conductivity by containing ionic substance.
For electron conduction rubber, because the general difficulty of the dispersion of conductive materials such as carbon or metal oxide, therefore, and the resistance value when resistance value during low impressed voltage and high impressed voltage poor, that is, voltage-dependent has the tendency of raising.
On the other hand, for ionic conductivity rubber, because the dispersion ratio of ionic substance is easier to, so the voltage-dependent of resistance value can be little than electron conduction rubber.But, have ehter bond or ester bond in the ionic conductivity rubber, the whole water wettability that shows of rubber.Like this, particularly under hot and humid environment, because suction, resistance value has the tendency of rising, on the contrary under the low temperature and low humidity environment, because rubber is by dry, and the dissociated ion density loss of charge carrier, so ionic conductivity descends, resistance value rises.That is, for ionic conductivity rubber, the environmental factor dependence of resistance value easily increases.During situation that resistance value in the low temperature and low humidity environment rises, produce problems such as image color is thin out.
Method as the environmental factor dependence of the resistance value of improving rubber rollers, in patent documentation 1, disclose the superficial layer that makes the ionic conductivity elastomer layer and be dispersed with the electron conduction material and stacked gradually on the electric conductivity support, and this superficial layer is the charged roller of filming that forms by electrostatic coating.
The target that above-mentioned charged roller will reach is, by having on the absorptive ionic conductivity elastomer layer by the no absorptive superficial layer of electrostatic coating formation, like this, the environmental factor dependence of resistance value is suppressed at ± 1 figure place in, thereby no matter how environment changes, and all can keep stable charged current potential for a long time.But environmental factor dependence still changes greatly with interior in ± 1 figure place, and the problem that image is thin out or thicken can take place when environmental change is big.
On the other hand, live part is disclosed in patent documentation 2, wherein be laminated with conductive elastic layer and coating at least, this conductive elastic layer is that main body constitutes by the resilient material of the medium resistance with ionic conduction mechanism, this coating is on this elastic layer, and contacted by electrified body with this, and it is surface treated, the conductive agent that contains, and adjusted the resistance of this elastic layer and this coating by following requirement, promptly, add-50V~-during the DC voltage of 1000V, this elastic layer and the resistance value between this coating when measuring voltage for-50V are designated as R1, this elastic layer and the resistance value between this coating when measuring voltage for-1000V are designated as R2, and when R1 〉=R2, the rate of change A of the resistance value between this elastic layer and this coating is R1/R2, satisfy A less than 100, and make this elastic layer when measuring voltage satisfied with 8 * 10 with the resistance value R1 between this coating for-50V 7Ω.But in the above-mentioned charged part, the resistance value R1 between elastic layer and the coating for example is 8 * 10 7During Ω, because the resistance value between elastic layer and the coating is big, if even the thickness heterogeneity of coating has only slightly, then the resistance value of roller integral body becomes big, therefore lacks and makes stability.

By these results as can be known, the voltage-dependent and the environmental factor dependence of the resistance value of conducting rubber roller of the present invention significantly reduce, shown good charged, transfer printing is stable.
This disclosed embodiment and embodiment all are examples, are not the scopes of restriction.Scope of the present invention is not by above-mentioned explanation but shows by claim, comprises the meaning that is equal to claim and all changes in scope.
The possibility of utilizing on the industry
By the present invention, can provide the voltage-dependent of resistance value and environmental factor dependence all significantly low, all have good charged, conducting rubber roller that transfer printing is stable in environment for use widely.
