【発明の詳細な説明】 〔産業上の利用分野〕 本発明は電子写真感光体の除電器に関する。[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] The present invention relates to a static eliminator for electrophotographic photoreceptors.

ロナチャージャによるＡＣ除電方式が採用されている。As shown in FIG. 2, the electrophotographic printer includes a main charger 1 and an exposure light source 3 around a rotating photoreceptor drum 2.
, a developing device 4, a transfer charger 5, a blade electrode 6, a cleaning blade 8, and a static eliminator 9 are provided, respectively. As the conventional static eliminator 9, a method is adopted in which the surface potential of the photosensitive drum 2 is eliminated by irradiation with light using a light source, or an AC static neutralization method using a corona charger.
上述した従来の除電方式では、次のような欠点がある。 The conventional static elimination method described above has the following drawbacks.

う欠点がある。The former method, which uses light irradiation, uses a functionally separated organic photosensitive drum, and in printers that print on cut paper, the part of the photosensitive body that is reversely charged by a direct transfer charger without going through the paper is The drawback is that the charge is not removed even by light irradiation and remains as a background fog, and in processes where the time from when the photosensitive drum is removed until it is charged is very short, such as in high-speed or small equipment, the carrier movement speed of the photosensitive drum is If this is not fast enough, there is a drawback that the charged potential will also vary with variations in the amount of static eliminating light. Furthermore, the latter AC static elimination method using a corona charger requires a space to house the charger, making it difficult to reduce the diameter of the photosensitive drum, and has the disadvantage that it cannot be applied to small-sized devices.
