Definitions
- the invention relates to a magnetic device for a non-mechanical printing or copying device according to the preamble of claim 1.
- charge images are stored on a charge image carrier e.g. generated by a photoconductor drum and then colored with a black powder (toner) in a developer station.
- a charge image carrier e.g. generated by a photoconductor drum and then colored with a black powder (toner) in a developer station.
- the toner images are then transferred to plain paper and fixed there.
- a two-component developer consisting of ferromagnetic carrier particles and toner particles is used for development.
- the developer mixture is e.g. is guided past the charge pattern by means of a magnetic brush arrangement, to which the toner particles, caused by electrostatic forces, adhere.
- Such a developer station is e.g. known from DE-B 21 66 667.
- a device for removing the developer mixture from a developer station of an electrophotographic device contains a developer roller and a mixing screw, at the end of which the drain opening with a tube for connecting a bottle for receiving the developer mixture is arranged in the bottom of the developer station.
- the direction of rotation of the mixing screw and the developer roller is reversed in order to transport the developer mixture to the outlet opening.
- the object of the invention is to design a device of the type mentioned at the beginning such that both a closure of the transport channel is possible and a metered transport of the developer mixture in the transport channel.
- the developer mixture should be sealed and transported with the greatest possible mechanical protection of the mixture.
- a transport channel e.g. the connecting channel between the actual developer station and a collecting container can be arranged, a rotatable roller containing a magnetic bar is arranged, one wall of the transport channel with the roller forming a narrow retention gap and the other wall of the transport channel with the roller forming a substantially wider transport gap the transport channel can be closed in a simple manner without contact; on the other hand, the toner can be transported in a metered manner in the transport channel via the roller.
- a squeegee is arranged in the entry area of the retention gap.
- the developer mixture can be removed from the developer station in a quick and gentle manner.
- the device can also be used to e.g. The developer mixture is metered into the developer station.
- the figure shows a schematic representation of the magnetic closure and transport device in the developer station of an electrophotographic printing device, partly in a sectional view.
- a developer station 10 is adjacent to a charge image carrier 11, e.g. a photoconductor drum.
- the developer station 10 contains, for example, a paddle wheel 12 for mixing a developer mixture consisting of two components of ferromagnetic carrier particles and the actual toner particles coloring the charge carrier 11.
- the mixed developer mixture 13 is brought into the surroundings of the photoconductor drum 11 with the aid of a magnetic roller arrangement made of a rotating hollow cylinder 14 with permanent magnets 15 fixedly arranged therein.
- the entire mixing and transport devices for the toner are motor-driven in a known manner, which is not shown in detail here.
- the developer station consists of a trough-like housing 16, made of, for example, impact-resistant plastic, which corresponds to the width of the photoconductor drum extends in the axial direction along this photoconductor drum 11.
- a rotatable roller 18 is contained which can be driven electrically by an electric motor 17.
- This rotatable roller 18 contains a permanent magnet strip 19 which extends over the entire length of the roller 16 and which can also be formed, for example, from individual permanent magnet strip segments. It can consist of a barium ferrite magnet.
- the roller 18 is arranged within an emptying opening forming the transport channel in such a way that one wall of the transport channel forms a narrow retaining gap 20 with the roller and the other wall of the transport channel with the roller forms a substantially wider transport gap 21.
- a squeegee 22 At the entrance of the retaining gap 20 there is a squeegee 22 provided.
- a receptacle 23 is fastened via a fastening device 24 below the emptying opening.
- the collecting container 23 can e.g. consist of an elastic bag-like container which is attached to the emptying opening via corresponding spring clips 24.
- the entire device now works as follows.
- the developer station is filled with developer mixture and the roller 18 with its magnetic strip 19 arranged thereon is in the position shown in the figure.
- a plug of ferromagnetic carrier particles is formed in the transport gap 21 in the vicinity of the north pole of the roller 18, which plug prevents the developer mixture from escaping from the developer station.
- the roller 18 is rotated in a simple manner with the aid of the motor device 17.
- the speed of rotation of the roller 18 or the size of its circumference in connection with the clear width of the transport gap 21 determines the transport capacity of the developer mixture in the transport channel. Any developer particles adhering to the roller 18 are stripped off by the scraper strip 22.
