The developer which once contributed to the development and whose toner concentration is lowered is conveyed by the lower screw 4 into the tube having the curvature in the region C, and is conveyed to the upper screw portion. At this time, the toner supplied by the toner agitation rod 12 in response to a command from a toner concentration detector (not shown) is also supplied from the toner container 11 of the developer accommodating portion through the toner replenishing port 16 of the mesh opening 13 and together in the tube. The developer having a prescribed toner concentration by sufficiently mixing and mixing them by the screw in the conveyed region C is transferred to the upper screw 41 at the connection opening 42 and is conveyed to the upper part of the developing sleeve. At this time, in the upper screw, the developer is conveyed from the front side to the back side of the sleeve while the developer is stored in a certain amount by the partition wall 5. The partition wall 5 has an opening 51 as shown in FIG.
Supplied from 51 to the sleeve. At this time, the upper screw is separated from the sleeve by the partition wall 5 and does not interfere with the movement of the developer held in the sleeve.
The developer supplied from the upper screw is provided with a sufficient electric charge which is conveyed and mixed by the scraper 6, the carrier 8 and the magnet conveying pole and the cutting pole N 1 . Then, the developer is regulated by the doctor blade 7, and only a proper amount of the developer is conveyed to the developing electrode side, and a magnetic brush is formed at the developing electrode to perform the development.

The developer that has contributed to the development is conveyed again into the developing unit in accordance with the rotation of the sleeve, and a part of the developer, which has a small amount of remaining toner, is scraped off by the scraper 6 and the sleeve is removed. Lower screw 4 located away from
The toner is supplied to the side and is conveyed to the area C to receive the replenishment toner.

In these processes, the scraper 6 faces the sleeve with a gap equal to or smaller than the spike length of the sleeve at the developing pole. As a result, at the time of development, only the developer whose toner concentration in the uppermost layer that has contributed most to development is reduced can be scraped off by the scraper 6. Assuming that the brush height is d at that time, a gap that is equal to or smaller than the developing unit brush height 1 and the tip of the scraper is smaller than the brush height d is formed. As a result, the same effect as when the developer completely applied to the sleeve is scraped off is obtained, and the rotational load of the sleeve tends to increase in the case of a connection crepe and the developer is fused to the sleeve surface. Has been resolved.

Further, the scraper 6 holds the proper toner concentration developer supplied from the upper scraper 41 as a substantial developer pool (may be largely circulated or may be slightly circulated) 23, and is developed. It plays a role of supplying a stable developing ability to the sleeve.

If the conveying force of the upper and lower screws is significantly different, the developer will stay on the lower screw side, causing the developer to overflow from the lower pocket part, and the developer filling the upper screw side, causing the developer to move. In this embodiment, there is a risk that the developer will be deteriorated, the image quality will be significantly deteriorated, and the developing device will be destroyed.
The conveying force of 41 is stronger than that of the lower screw 4, and an opening to the lower screw side is provided at the end of the scraper that does not face the sleeve, and excess developer from the upper screw side can move to the lower screw side. I chose Thereby, the reservoir 23 can be stably formed. As described above, it is possible to more easily maintain the equilibrium state in which the developer circulates in the closed circuit of the developer in one direction and the developer is not excessively accumulated on the upper screw side and the lower screw side.

Further, it is desirable that the scraper 6 be within the magnetic pole range having the same polarity as the developing pole (more desirable than setting the scraper tip within the half width). This is because the magnetic brush advances while rotating with respect to the rotation of the sleeve, and therefore the surface layer portion of only the developer that has contributed to the development at the developing pole cannot be scraped off by the scraper unless it has the same pole.

In this embodiment, in order to activate the movement of the developer (developer having a constant toner concentration) on the downstream side of the scraper in the sleeve rotation direction, N 2 (N pole), has a small magnetic flux density than the magnetic flux density of the magnetic poles of the profit and each developing unit two poles of S 2 (S pole). A specific numerical example is about half of the developing pole S 1 . In such a relationship, the magnetic immovable layer generated in the pool 23 becomes weak, and the developer moves actively according to the rotation of the sleeve 2, so that more preferable uniform charging of the developer is achieved.

Therefore, the charge is further applied to the toner. In this case, a plurality of magnetic poles, including three or more, should be provided in the pool 23. Further, in this example, the magnetic pole S 2 having the same polarity as that of the developing unit is located on the downstream side in the sleeve rotation direction from the tip of the scraper 6 to maintain the proper toner concentration not contributing to the development on the downstream side of the scraper 6. Generates a conveying force that reliably conveys the developed developer (developer after scraped by the scraper) to the pool 23 side, and further helps activate the movement of the developer in the pool 23 on the scrape downstream side. . Further, the developer surface can be stably cut and supplied to the lower screen side. The N 2 pole between S 1 and S 2 of the same pole has a magnetic flux density of the same level as that of the developing pole S 1 to more strongly generate the immobile layer, and blows out toner from the lower part of the developing device and develops it. Prevents drug leakage. Further, in the figure, 20 and 21 are thin films made of mylar, 20 is abutted lightly on the drum to prevent toner scattering to the upstream side of the drum, and 21 is abutted lightly on the sleeve 2 to lower the developing device. It plays the role of preventing the toner from scattering. In particular, 21 is preferably brought into contact with the sleeve in the tangential direction of the sleeve so as to slightly touch it.

Now, even in such an excellent developing device, if the toner is directly supplied to the reservoir 23 of insufficient charge, the developing failure toner may occur. Therefore, in this example, new toner is replenished only to the lower screw side from above through the toner replenishing port 16 with a mesh and the opening 24 on the opposite side of the scraper sleeve. At this time, a toner shielding plate as a new toner guide member
22 is proximate to the opening 16 and protrudes so as to guide the toner toward the lower screw side, does not supply the toner into the scraper upper developer reservoir 23, and reliably guides it through the opening 24 to the lower screw. At this time, the flow 25 of the developer, which is additionally supplied for stably forming the pool 23, flows downward in the opening 24, so that the flow 25 has a substantial toner scattering prevention effect, which is preferable.

In any case, the toner shield plate 22 is important.If it does not exist, the toner enters the scraper upper part, is immediately supplied to the sleeve, and the toner that is not well agitated and mixed and does not have a sufficient charge is conveyed to the developing pole. Will be done. As a result, the ground fog and the reversal fog phenomenon occur.

The toner supplied to the lower screen side is not directly supplied to the sleeve side due to the movement of the developer in FIG. 1, but is conveyed to the upper screen side. At this time, since the insufficient toner developer scraped off by the scraper is supplied, all the toner supplied to the lower screw 4 side is also included by the lower screw 4 including the effect of ensuring contact with the carrier particles. It is transported to the area C and sufficiently stirred and mixed. In any case, it is important that new toner is not directly supplied to the pool 23.

As described above, as shown in FIG. 1, the developer, which is sufficiently stirred and mixed without taking a large space behind the developing sleeve and always keeps the toner concentration constant, is uniformly supplied in the axial direction of the sleeve. By eliminating fog and reversal fog completely, it is possible to maintain the desired image quality in durability.
