Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a developing apparatus for developing an electrostatic latent image and a developer carrying member therefor, which are usable with an image forming apparatus such as an electrophotographic apparatus or electrostatic recording apparatus.
  • a developing apparatus wherein a developer is carried on a surface of a developer carrying member in the form of a sleeve (the developer carrying member will hereinafter be called “sleeve”) to supply the developer into a developing zone. It is also known that the developer conveying performance is improved by roughening the surface of the sleeve.
  • a developing apparatus provided with a sleeve having a roughened surface is disclosed, for example, U.S. Patents Nos. 4,377,332, 4,380,966, 4,870,461 corresponding to a Japanese Laid-Open Patent Application No. 131586/1989, and Japanese Laid-Open Patent Applications Nos. 116372/1982 and 11974/1983. They disclose a sleeve having a developer carrying surface blasted with irregular particles and/or regular particles.
  • the irregular particles means the particles having irregular configuration and having plural sharp peaks
  • the "regular particles” means the particles having smooth configuration as in spherical, oval or flat spherical shape substantially without sharp peaks.
  • the image density reduced from 1.3 (initial image density) to 1.2 when 5000 sheets were processed.
  • the image density reduced from 1.3 (initial image density) to 1.1 when 5000 sheets were processed.
  • the cause of the image density reduction is considered as being insufficient triboelectric charge applied to the toner.
  • the image density was 1.35, and therefore, was good after 5000 sheets were processed.
  • the image density was 1.3, and therefore, was good when 5000 sheets were processed.
  • the toner was found to be non-uniformly applied on the sleeve. In this case, the toner is given sufficient triboelectric charge, but it is considered that the triboelectric charge is further increased under the low temperature and low humidity conditions and that this is the cause of the non-uniformity of the toner application.
  • a sleeve made of stainless steel (SUS 305) was blast-treated with irregular particles having the grain size #600 and thereafter blast-treated with spherical particles (regular particles) having a grain size #800 which have smaller average particle size than the irregular particles, as disclosed in Japanese Laid-Open Patent Application No. 11974/1983.
  • the sleeve was used, and the continuous copying operations were performed with toner particles. Then, the following problem was found.
  • the image density was 1.3, and therefore, was good when 5000 sheets were processed.
  • the image density was 1.25, and therefore, was good when 5000 sheets were processed.
  • the toner application on the sleeve was not uniform.
  • the sleeve is blast-­treated with a mixture of the irregular particles and regular particles. Since the sleeve has been blast-­treated by the mixture, the irregular particles collapses the relatively smooth pits formed by the regular particles, by which some of the pits by the regular particles have sharp smaller projections therein.
  • the relatively smooth pits or concavities are effective to increase the amount of triboelectric charge of the toner, but the sharp fine projection decrease the triboelectric charge amount.
  • the image forming apparatus comprises a latent image bearing member 1 which is usually in the form of an electrophotographic photosensitive member, which will hereinafter be called "photosensitive drum".
  • the apparatus further comprises a latent image forming station 2, a developing apparatus 3 for visualizing the latent image, according to the embodiment of the present invention, an image transfer and transfer material separating station, which may be of a known type, for transferring a toner image from the photosensitive drum to the transfer material and for separating the transfer material from the photosensitive drum, a cleaning station, which may be of a known type, for removing residual toner from the photosensitive drum.
  • the developer in this embodiment is a magnetic toner containing magnetic particles in the resin materials.
  • the latent image forming station 2 functions to form an electrostatic latent image on the photosensitive drum 1.
  • the photosensitive drum rotates in the direction indicated by an arrow A to reach the developing device 2.
  • the developing device 2 includes a hopper container 10 for containing the magnetic toner (one component developer), stirring means 9 for supplying the toner from the hopper 10 to the neighborhood of the sleeve and for enhancing the flowability of the toner, a fixed magnet 8 and the non-­magnetic sleeve rotatable in a direction B.
  • the sleeve 7 is effective to carry the toner particles into a developing zone where the sleeve 7 is faced to the drum 1, so that the toner is supplied to the drum.
  • the toner particles are triboelectrically charged mainly by the friction with the sleeve 7 to such an extent as is sufficient to develop the latent image.
  • the thickness of a toner layer formed on the sleeve 7 is regulated by a magnetic blade 6 opposed to a magnetic pole N1 of the magnet 8 through the sleeve 7 (U.S. Patent No. 4,387,664).
  • the toner particles are formed into a brush by a developing magnetic pole S1.
  • the toner particles on the sleeve 7 are transferred to the drum 1 to visualize the latent image thereon.
  • the sleeve 7 is supplied with a developing bias voltage from a voltage source 11.
  • an alternating bias voltage is applied to the sleeve 7 by the voltage source 11.
  • the alternating voltage here includes a vibrating voltage which vibrates only within a positive voltage range or a negative voltage range, as well as the voltage having positive and negative peaks.
  • the present invention is particularly effective when used with the developing apparatus in which the vibratory electric field is formed in the developing zone by the application of an alternating bias voltage to the sleeve 7, but the present invention is applicable to a developing apparatus wherein a DC bias voltage is applied to the sleeve.
  • the toner image then, is transferred from the drum to the transfer material at the transfer station 4, and is fixed on the transfer material by an unshown image fixing station.
  • the photosensitive drum after the image transfer is subjected to the cleaning operation at the cleaning station 5, so that the residual toner is removed from the drum 1, by which the drum is prepared for the next image forming operation.
  • the magnetic pole N1 of the magnet 8 provides 1000 Gauss on the surface of the sleeve 7; S1 pole 1000 Gauss; N2 pole 750 Gauss; S2 pole 550 Gauss.
  • the minimum distance between the sleeve 7 and the drum 1 is 0.25 mm; the distance between the sleeve 7 and the magnetic blade 6 is 0.25 mm.
  • a toner layer formed has a thickness smaller than the clearance between the sleeve 7 and the drum 1.
  • the voltage source 11 applies to the sleeve 7 a voltage having an AC voltage component having a peak-to-peak voltage of 1400 V and a frequency of 1800 Hz and a DC component added thereto having a voltage of +120 V.
  • the photosensitive drum 1 is made of amorphous silicon, on which a latent image is formed with a dark potential (the most dark portion of the image) of +400 V and a light portion potential (background area of the image) of +70 V.
  • the copying speed is 80 sheets/min. when the copy sheet size is A4.
  • the sleeve 7 has a diameter of 32 mm and is made of stainless steel (SUS 305), the surface of which is blast-treated.
  • the sleeve may be made of another material such as aluminum or steel containing titanium.
  • FIG. 2 shows the manner of blast-treating for the sleeve 7.
  • blasting particles i.e., abrasive particles 13 are blasted through a nozzle 14 with high pressure.
  • the sleeve 7 is rotated in a direction D3, and simultaneously, the nozzle 14 is reciprocated between the opposite ends of the sleeve 7 in parallel with a rotational axis of the sleeve, that is, in directions D1 and D2.
  • the blasting conditions in this embodiment are as follows. Irregular particles having a grain size #400 (average particles size of 35 - 45 microns, JIS R6001 (grain size of abrasive material)) made of Al2O3. The sleeve is rotated at a rotational speed of 12 rpm. The nozzle has a diameter of 7 mm and is away from the sleeve by a distance of 150 mm. The blasting air pressure is 3.5 kg/cm2. The blasting is continued for 30 sec., while the nozzle is reciprocated in parallel with the axis of the sleeve through a distance of 30 cm. Thereafter, the surface of the sleeve is cleaned and dried.
  • the sleeve is blast-treated with regular particles.
  • the regular particles are glass beads (FGB) having a grain size #100 (average particle size of 150 - 180 microns).
  • the blasting air pressure is 3.0 kg/cm2.
  • the other conditions are the same as in the blast treatment with the irregular particles. After the blast-treatment, the similar cleaning operation is performed.
  • Figure 3 shows an enlarged sectional view of the surface of the sleeve according to this embodiment.
  • the surface roughness shown in this Figure was obtained as plots of outputs of a surface roughness measuring device available from Kosaka Kenkyusho, Japan.
  • Copying operations were performed using the developing apparatus having the developing sleeve described in the foregoing.
  • the change of the image density was sufficiently small in the case of the continuous copying operations and also in the case of intermittent copying operations. More particularly, under the normal temperature and normal humidity condition, the image density was approximately 1.35. Under the low temperature and low humidity condition, the image density was 1.3. The non-uniformity of the toner layer applied on the sleeve surface was not observed.
  • the surface of the sleeve was checked, and the following constructions were recognized.
  • approximately 70 - 80 % are of the surface blasted by the finer irregular particles, larger concavities are formed by the regular particles having the average particle size larger than that of the irregular particles.
  • the fine pattern provided by the irregular blasting particles are still retained although they are deformed by the collapse with the regular particles.
  • the remaining 20 - 30 % area that is, the area free from the collision with the regular particles, a great number of sharp and fine projections by the irregular blasting particles remain.
  • the fine projections by the irregular blasting particles are partly collapsed or made dull by the regular particles, that is, the surface is smoother.
  • the surface of the sleeve has the fine projections, that the degree of the sharpness of the fine projections are different, and that the different sharpness projections are mixed.
  • the surface of the sleeve has larger pits and projections on which finer pits and projections are superposed.
  • the larger pits are provided by the collision of the regular particles, wherein the finer projections formed by the irregular particles are provided by collision of the regular particles but the finer projections are still remaining.
  • the pits provided by the regular particles tend to increase the triboelectric charge amount applied to the toner.
  • the finer pits and projections provided by the irregular particles still remain although the sharp projections are made dull, so that the over-charge of the toner is suppressed.
  • the regions not collapsed by the regular particles namely, the areas having the sharp and fine projections provided by the irregular particles, are effective to increase the toner conveying power and to suppress the triboelectric charge of the toner. Accordingly, the toner is triboelectrically charged to proper extent, and in addition, a uniform toner layer is formed on the sleeve.
  • the present invention is, therefore, particularly effective to a developing apparatus of a type wherein the toner layer has a thickness smaller than the minimum clearance between the sleeve and the drum, and wherein the toner jumps from the sleeve to the drum in the developing zone to develop the latent image.
  • the blade 12 is contacted to the sleeve 7 with a line pressure of 2 - 10 g/cm along an axis of the sleeve.
  • a line pressure of 2 - 10 g/cm along an axis of the sleeve.
  • usable materials for the blade 12 are urethane rubber (0.8 - 1 mm thickness), neoprene rubber, or other rubber materials, and a plastic resin sheet.
  • PET sheet having a thickness of 100 microns
  • polyamide sheet or polyimide sheet there are PET sheet having a thickness of 100 microns, polyamide sheet or polyimide sheet.
  • the urethane rubber is used.
  • the sleeve 7 is made of stainless steel (SUS 305), and the surface thereof was blast-treated.
  • the blast-treatment will be described. After the blast-treatment with the irregular blasting particles as in the first embodiment, the blast-­treatment with the regular particles was performed with the glass beads having a grain size #200 (average particle size of 70 - 90 microns). The air pressure was 2.5 kg/cm2. The other conditions were the same as in the blast-treatment with the irregular particles. The surface of the sleeve was cleaned. When the copying operation was performed using the sleeve, the same good result as in the first embodiment was obtained.
  • 70 - 80 % of the area having sharp and fine projections provided by the irregular particles are collapsed by the regular blasting particles so that the sharp projections are made dull.
  • the regular particle blasting treatment is carried out with glass beads having a grain size #30 (average particle size of 500 - 700 microns) which is larger than that of the first embodiment.
  • the other blasting conditions and the structures of the developing apparatus are the same as in the first embodiment.
  • the image density was 1.3 under the normal temperature and normal humidity condition, and was 1.25 under the low temperature and low humidity condition.
  • the toner layer on the sleeve surface was uniform. When the sleeve surface was observed, it was confirmed that only approximately 30 - 40 % of the area having been subjected to the blasting treatment with the irregular particles was collapsed by the regular particles.
  • the particle size of the regular blasting particles used in this embodiment is larger than that of the first embodiment. More particularly, they were glass beads having the grain size #60.
  • the air pressure (blasting pressure) was 3.0 kg/cm2, and the processing time was 20 sec.
  • the other blasting conditions and the structures of the developing apparatus were the same as in the first embodiment.
  • the good results were provided in the image density and the uniformity of the applied developer layer. In approximately 50 % of the area having been subjected to the blast treatment with the irregular particles and having sharp and fine projections, the collapse occurred with the regular particles into a larger pits. In the pits, dull and fine projections were observed.
  • the roughened surface provided by the blast treatment with the irregular particles and the subsequent blast treatment with the regular particles is effective to maintain the good image density and the good toner application on the sleeve.
  • the sleeve was blast-treated under the same blasting conditions as in the first embodiment except that the regular particles were glass beads having a particle size #600 (average particle size of 30 microns) which was smaller in the particle size than that of the irregular particles.
  • the sleeve was incorporated in the apparatus of Figure 1, and the continuous copying operations were performed.
  • the image density was 1.35 and therefore, was good under the normal temperature and normal humidity conditions and under the low temperature and low humidity conditions.
  • the non-uniformity in the toner layer on the sleeve was observed under the low temperature and low humidity conditions.
  • the surface roughness of the sleeve is shown in Figure 5.
  • the average particle size of the blasting regular particles is preferably larger than that of the irregular blasting particles. If the size of the regular particles is smaller than that of the irregular particles, the area treated by the regular blast particles is too large, with the result that the surface is similar to the surface treated only by the regular blasting particles, and therefore, the non-uniform toner application is produced. Therefore, it is preferable that the size of the regular particles is larger than that of the irregular particles.
  • the pits which are relatively large and relatively smooth, and therefore, which are effective to triboelectrically charge the toner efficiently can be formed, while remaining proper areas having sharp and fine projections by the irregular blasting.
  • the size of the irregular particles is too large, the percentage of the area subjected to the blasting treatment with the regular particles is reduced with the result of insufficient triboelectric charging of the toner, with the result of failure of maintaining the good image density.
  • the average particle size of the regular blasting particles is preferably larger than the average particle size of the irregular blasting particles and is smaller than 20 times the size of the irregular blasting particles. Further preferably, the average particle size of the regular particles is larger than 1.5 times the average particle size of the irregular particles and smaller than 10 times the size of the irregular blasting particles.
  • the sleeve was not blast-treated with the irregular particles, but is treated only with the regular blasting particles. More particularly, it was treated with spherical glass beads having the grain size #100 or #300 with the air pressure of 4.0 kg/cm2 for 60 sec. The image density was good, more particularly, it was 1.35 under the normal temperature and normal humidity conditions, and was 1.3 under the low temperature and low humidity conditions. However, the toner coating on the sleeve was not uniform under the low temperature and low humidity conditions.
  • the surface roughness of the sleeve in this example when the size of the spherical glass beads was #100 is shown in Figure 6.
  • the sleeve was treated in the same manner as in the first embodiment, but it was treated only with the irregular blasting particles.
  • the image density at the initial stage was not higher than 1.2 under the normal temperature and normal humidity conditions and under the low temperature and low humidity conditions.
  • the toner layer was uniform even under the low temperature and low humidition conditions.
  • the surface roughness of the sleeve produced by the third Comparison Example is shown in Figure 7.
  • the amount of the triboelectric charge of the toner on the sleeve surface was measured for the sleeve produced by the second Comparison Example and for the sleeve by the third Example, and it was confirmed that it was high in the second Comparison Example, but it was low in the third Comparison Example.
  • the surface of the sleeve preferably has a part having sharp and fine projections and also a part having dull and fine projections in order to maintain both of the image density and the uniformity of the toner layer formation.
  • the contact between the toner particles and the sleeve surface is active, so that the triboelectric charge of the toner is high.
  • the increase of the triboelectric charge is not suppressed. It is considered that some toner particles are extremely highly charged triboelectrically and are deposited on the surface of the sleeve by the electrostatic mirror force. If this occurs, such toner particles are not easily released from the sleeve surface during the image forming operation, and this is a cause of the non-uniformity of the toner layer.
  • the sleeve surface having the sharp and fine projections on its entirety can mechanically capture the toner particles, and therefore, the motion of the toner particles are obstructed with the result of less opportunity of the toner particles contacting the sleeve surface. This is considered as being the reason why the sufficient triboelectric charge is not applied to the toner particles.
  • the percentage of the area of the pits formed by the collapse with the regular particles on the sleeve surface that is, the area effected by the regular particles is preferably larger than 10 % and smaller than 90 %, further preferably larger than 30 % and smaller than 80 %.
  • the rest of the area is a roughened surface having sharp and fine projections provided by the irregular particles without being effected by the regular particles.
  • a fifth embodiment of the present invention wherein the treatment with the irregular blasting particles is performed under the same conditions as in the first embodiment. Thereafter, the sleeve is subjected to the blast treatment with the regular particles having the grain size #100 as in the first embodiment.
  • the air pressure (blasting pressure) was 4.0 kg/cm2 higher than in the first embodiment, and the processing period was 60 sec. longer than in the first embodiment.
  • the sleeve produced according to this embodiment was incorporated in the apparatus of Figure 1. The image density was good, but the toner application was slightly nonuniform under the low temperature and low humidity conditions. It has been confirmed that the number of sharp and fine projections provided by the irregular particle treatment was extremely small, due to the regular particle treatment.
  • the reason for this is considered as follows.
  • the energy applied onto the sleeve surface per unit area that is, the energy of collision is larger in the blast treatment with the regular blasting particles than in the blast treatment with the irregular blasting particles.
  • the further preferable blasting condition is that the energy applied onto the sleeve per unit area thereof dependent upon (1) a distance between the nozzle and the sleeve, (2) air pressure (blasting or ejection pressure), (3) processing period and (4) grain size of the particles, is smaller in the blast treatment with the regular particles effected afterward than in the blasting treatment with the irregular particles before that.
  • the average particle size of the regular particles is larger than that of the irregular particles, so that in the case of the blast treatment with the regular particles, the distance between the nozzle and the sleeve is made larger than in the case of the blast treatment with the irregular particles, and/or, the air pressure is made smaller, and/or, the processing period is made shorter, each of which is preferable.
  • Irregular particles are silicon carbide particles, alumina particles, iron trioxide particles or titanium dioxide particles; and the regular particles are glass beads, steel particles, ferrite particles or flat ferrite particles. However, they are not limited to these materials.
  • the developer carrying member is not limited to the cylindrical sleeve, but it may be columnar or in the form of a belt. It also may be a magnet roller.
  • the thickness of the developer layer carried into the developing zone as a thickness smaller than the clearance between the sleeve and the drum, but the present invention is applicable to a developing apparatus wherein the thickness of the developer layer is the same as or larger than the clearance between the sleeve and the drum.
  • the present invention is suitable to the toner having the average particle size of 3 - 15 microns (volume average particle size which can be measured by a counter available from Coulter). However, the present invention is not limited to this.
  • a one component magnetic developer is used, but the present invention is applicable to a one component non-magnetic developer.
  • the developing apparatus shown in Figure 4 but without the magnet 13 is preferable.
