a,b,cを付すことにより区別する。 Multicolor electrophotographic copying machines use a system that separates the light image of the original into colors, forms toner images for each color on multiple photoreceptor drums, and transfers the toner images to paper, making it compact, inexpensive, and capable of high-speed copying. is possible. As such a conventional multicolor electrophotographic copying machine, a configuration as shown in FIG. 1 is known. In the figure, a charger 2 is placed around a photoreceptor drum 1 that forms an image of each color (the example in the figure shows a case where three colors are formed using three photoreceptor drums), and a photoreceptor 2 is used to transfer the color-separated optical image of the original to the photoreceptor. An optical device 3 for projecting images onto the photosensitive drum 1, a developing device 4, a transfer charger 5, and a static elimination charger 6 are arranged, and the paper 7 is transported to each photosensitive drum 1 by a conveyor belt 8 made of a dielectric belt.
The image is transported to one transfer position after another. Since similar members are arranged for each photoreceptor drum, corresponding members are given the same reference numerals, and each photoreceptor drum is distinguished by the addition of suffixes a, b, and c.

転写される。 In such a copying machine, an optical device 3 is mounted on a photosensitive drum 1 which is charged by a charger 2.
The color-separated optical image is exposed for each color to form an electrostatic latent image, and the electrostatic latent image is developed into a predetermined color by the developing device 4 to form a toner image. The toner image is transferred to the paper that is attracted and conveyed under the action of the transfer charger 5.

目の感光体ドラム1cについても生ずる。 Although the transfer on the first photoreceptor drum 1a is easily carried out, electric discharge occurs when the surface of the photoreceptor drum 1a and the paper 7 or the belt 8 are separated immediately after the transfer. Generates electrical charge. Since the belt is an insulator, charges cannot escape, and therefore the charging caused by peeling discharge affects the next transfer on the second photosensitive drum 1b. In other words, the electric charge remaining on the belt 8 cancels out the electric field by the second transfer charger 5b and makes transfer charging difficult, thereby inhibiting the transfer of the second photoreceptor drum 1b. The same thing occurs with respect to the third photosensitive drum 1c.

ずる。 Second photoreceptor drum 1b, third photoreceptor drum 1c
In order to increase the transfer efficiency, a good transfer rate can be obtained by increasing the voltage applied to the second transfer charger 5b and the third transfer charger 5c, for example, to 6.5KV or 7.5KV. However, in this case, the transfer voltage must be changed for each transfer charger, making control complicated and inconvenient.Also, since the voltage is high, direct discharge may occur between the charge wire and the charge case in the case of a small charger. Abnormal discharge occurs, resulting in inconveniences such as a moon-shaped white spot on the transferred image and a resin-like pattern on the copy.
転写後剥離放電による不都合を解消するために
第2図に示すように転写後すぐに除電する方法が

aとの間を通し除電する。同様に感光体ドラム1
bから分離された後除電チヤージヤー9bと対向
電極10bとの間で除電される。 In order to eliminate the inconvenience caused by post-transfer peel-off discharge, there is a method of eliminating electricity immediately after transfer, as shown in FIG. That is, the paper 7 separated from the photoreceptor drum 1a and the conveyor belt 8 are transferred to a static elimination charger 9a to which a voltage of AC3.2KV RMS is applied, for example, and a counter electrode 10.
The static electricity is eliminated by passing between the Similarly, photoreceptor drum 1
After being separated from the charger 9b, the static electricity is eliminated between the static elimination charger 9b and the counter electrode 10b.

や逆転写を生じる。各感光体ドラムでこのような
転写むらや逆転写がくり返され、画像品質が悪く
なる。またトナーの飛散等によりチヤージヤーの
汚れがひどくなる。 In this case, peeling discharge occurs between the conveyor belt 8 and the counter electrode 10a, so that the charge removal of the toner on the paper becomes uneven, and the toner has (+) portions and (-) portions. The same goes for the back side of the belt. Therefore, the toner is subjected to random forces. When the transfer position of the next photoreceptor drum is reached in this state, the toner with non-uniform charge is affected by the electric field caused by the transfer charger, and some of the toner moves from the paper toward the photoreceptor drum. This causes uneven transfer and reverse transcription. Such uneven transfer and reverse transfer are repeated on each photosensitive drum, resulting in poor image quality. In addition, the charger becomes seriously dirty due to toner scattering.
