要がある。In general, a recording medium on which an electrostatic latent layer has been formed due to charging or exposure according to image information is heated to 1iA with toner.
The developed toner images are transferred to plain paper in an electrostatic recording or electrophotographic image recording device, and a cleaning device cleans the toner remaining on the surface of the recording medium after the transfer. It is necessary to prepare for the recording cycle.

うなどの種々の欠点がある。Conventionally, in the case of non-magnetic toner in this type of cleaning device, a fur brush is used to scrape off the remaining toner toward the recording medium, and the dropped toner is carried on the airflow inside the device. The toner is attracted to a metal roller to which a voltage is applied (by electric force), and is scraped off and collected by a toner removing blade attached to the metal roller. However, with such a leaning device, it is necessary to rotate the fur book at high speed to ensure airflow inside the device, which causes problems such as brush wear and hair removal, and also causes 74 luming on the surface of the recording medium. This has various drawbacks, such as deterioration of the recording medium and an increase in the size of the entire device.

しいという欠点がある。Conventionally, by utilizing the affinity between silicone rubber and toner, toner of a recording medium image is attached to a silicone rubber roller, and then the adhered toner is transferred to a high-temperature metal roller and then used with a blade. There is a cleaning device that scrapes and collects the toner, but it is necessary to apply heat to the metal plate for toner transfer, which has an adverse thermal effect on the recording medium, and it is difficult to control the heat. It has the disadvantage of being difficult.

できるようになる。Accordingly, the cleaning device according to the present invention includes a cleaning device,
The recording medium 1 is inserted into the flocked part of the sleeve 2, which rotates at a relatively low speed.
Since the toner 5 on the surface is liberated, the liberated toner 5 is carried by Coulomb force to the metal roller 4 and transferred thereto, and the toner 5 adhering to the metal roller 4 is scraped off. without scattering the toner 5.
In addition, cleaning can be carried out effectively without adversely affecting the surface of the recording medium, and without causing problems such as wear and hair loss on the flocked sleeve 2.

までもなｉ。FIG. 2 shows another embodiment of the invention, in which case t! An auxiliary electrode 8 is disposed in the sleeve 2 with a small gap facing the metal roller 4, and the auxiliary electrode 8 is grounded and a voltage of the same polarity as that of the non-magnetic toner 5 is applied to it. That's what I do. The rest of the configuration is the same as in the case of FIG. Therefore, with this configuration, the auxiliary electrode 8 is rotated by 20 rotations of the sleeve.
When the toner 5 that has been carried to the metal roller 4 side is transferred to the metal roller 4 side, a large force is exerted by the action of the auxiliary electrode 8, which promotes the transfer of the toner 5 to the metal roller 4 side. K so that effective cleaning of one side of the recording medium is performed. It should be noted that the fixed electrode 3 is shown in Fig. 3 when the toner 5 is positively charged. An example of each bias state of the auxiliary electrode 8 and the metal roller 4 is shown. In the case of heat, the metal roller 4 can be grounded.

という優れた利点を有している。As described above, in a cleaning device using induced WAK, in an electrostatic recording type or an electrophotographic transfer type image recording device, the cleaning device is arranged so as to disturb the non-magnetic toner on the surface of the recording medium, and is rotated. A flocked sleeve that is driven, a fixed electrode provided inside the sleeve at a location facing the recording medium surface, and a metal rotating so as to come into contact with the stacking sleeve at a location where the influence of the electric field of the fixed electrode has disappeared. The roller, the blade that scrapes off the toner adhering to the metal roller, and the flocked sleeve disturb the toner and transfer it to the recording medium ET.
The toner released from the toner is adsorbed to the flocked sleeve by Coulomb force and transported to the metal roller, and the transported toner is transferred to the metal roller by Coulomb force. It has the excellent advantage of being able to perform efficient stacking of the recording media (with a simple configuration).
