Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent a defect of printing due to soiling on the surface of a photosensitive drum by attaching a protective sheet, with which the exposed part of the photosensitive drum is covered, to a cartridge case so that this sheet can be peeled. CONSTITUTION:A protective sheet 1 is provided with which an exposed part 2a of the photosensitive drum for transfer between a development area e1 and a cleaning area e2 is covered, and this protective sheet 1 is attached to a cartridge case 6 so that it can be peeled. That is, an EP cartridge is supplied and carried with the protective sheet 1 attached, and the protective sheet 1 is peeled on the inside or the outside of a device when the cartridge is used. Thus, the cartridge is prevented from coming into contact with the soiling the exposed part of the photosensitive drum at the time of mounting of the cartridge on the device before the use or before and after mounting of the cartridge on the device, thereby preventing a defect of printing.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to an EP cartridge for an electrophotographic printing device.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, this type of EP cartridge either does not particularly protect the exposed portion of the photosensitive drum for transfer from the developing area to the cleaning area, or is provided with a cover for protection and is movable when installed in the device. The structure was such that they could run away.

The conventional EP car tricine described above does not particularly protect the exposed part of the photosensitive drum for transfer from the developing area to the cleaning area, so it shakes and gets dirty on the photosensitive drum during or before and after mounting the device before use. , which may cause printing defects. Alternatively, since a cover for protection is provided and the structure is such that it can be moved and escaped when the device is mounted, there is a drawback in that a mechanism for moving the cover to the protection position and the retracted position is required.

In the figure, an EP cartridge of an electrophotographic printing apparatus according to the present invention includes a photosensitive drum 2 for forming an electrostatic latent image on the circumferential surface, and a developer is attached to the electrostatic latent image on the photosensitive drum 2 to form a latent image. a developing device 3 that makes the photosensitive drum 2 visible; a charger 4 that uniformly charges the circumferential surface of the photosensitive drum 2 in order to form an electrostatic latent image on the surface of the photosensitive drum 2 by irradiating light from a light source (not shown);
A cleaner section 5 for wiping the surface of the photosensitive drum 2 clean after transferring the visible image on the photosensitive drum 2 to recording is held in the cartridge case 6 so as to perform an electrophotographic process.
