Abstract
Description
【発明の詳細な説明】 〔産業上の利用分野〕 本発明は、電子写真装置の現像装置に関する。[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] The present invention relates to a developing device for an electrophotographic apparatus.

写真装置の現像装置を提供することである。The present invention was developed in view of the above-mentioned incident, and its purpose is to enable assembly of the gap between the tip of the doctor blade and the developer carrier without adjusting the gap, and to enable the assembly even if the developing device is subjected to impact during transportation. It is an object of the present invention to provide a developing device for an electrophotographic apparatus in which the gap between the tip of a doctor blade and a developing carrier is maintained as set.

けられた軸受とにより構成されたことを特徴とする。The developing device of the present invention includes a developer carrier that supports and transports developer, a doctor blade for adjusting the developer carried on the developer carrier to a constant thickness, and a tip of the doctor blade that engages with the doctor blade. It is characterized in that it is constituted by a developer carrier and a bearing attached to the developer carrier rotating shaft to ensure a gap between the tip of the doctor blade.
以下図を参照して本発明の詳細な説明する。 The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

ればならない。FIG. 1 shows the cross-sectional shape of the developing device. The developer 5 housed in the developing device main body is transferred to the developer carrier 2.
The image is conveyed to the latent image carrier 3 by. At this time, the doctor blade 1 adjusts the thickness of the developer 5 on the developer carrier 2 to be constant. Therefore, the gap between the tip of the doctor blade and the developer carrier must be sufficiently adjusted.
第２図は上述の部分を上部から見た図である。FIG. 2 is a top view of the above-mentioned part.

においても確保することとなる。The doctor blade l is forced onto a bearing 4 attached to the rotating shaft of the developer carrier 2 by a spring 6, and is adapted to measure the difference between the outer diameter of the bearing 4 and the diameter of the developer carrier 2. In other words, the doctor gap is ensured in any case.

きる。Furthermore, even if there is no spring 6 and the doctor blade 1 is directly fixed to the main body with screws, etc., if the tip of the doctor blade 1 is pressed against the bearing 4 while being fixed, it can be fixed while ensuring the set doctor gap. .
以上述べたように発明によれば、現像担持体２及び軸受

ということはまったくないという効果を有する。As described above, according to the invention, by ensuring the accuracy of the developer carrier 2 and the bearing 4, the gap between the tip of the doctor blade and the developer carrier 2, that is, the doctor gap, can be obtained as set without any adjustment. , also spring 6
Since the pressure is always maintained at a constant level, it has the effect that there is no possibility that the pressure will go out of order after adjustment.
もちろん、バネを使用せずに直接本体にドクターブレー
ドを固定するという方法をとった場合においても、調整
が不用となるという十分な効果を有することは明らかで
ある。Of course, it is clear that even if the doctor blade is directly fixed to the main body without using a spring, there is a sufficient effect that no adjustment is required.
