  • Exposure Or Original Feeding In Electrophotography (AREA)

Abstract

PURPOSE:To precluded fogging and density variation by providing an erasure unit with a sensor which can correct environmental variation in the surface potential of an image carrier and a light quantity feedback mechanism which uses the sensor. CONSTITUTION:Toner which is not transferred partially sticks on the surface of a drum after transfer and is scraped off by a cleaner blade 7. The surface potential of the drum is lowered uniformly by exposing a cold cathode tube 8 because there is a difference between an exposed and an unexposed part. This serves as the cold cathode tube 8, but the surface potential of the photosensitive drum varies with the quantity of erasure light. The erasure unit consists of the cold cathode tube 8 and a high voltage power source 11, and a CdS cell 9 is arranged so as to the quantity of erasure light constant and the current of a high voltage power source is brought under feedback control. Thus, a light quantity feedback mechanism which uses the sensor is provided and the quantity of erasure light is varied according to environment, and consequently the environmental change in the surface potential of the image carrier can be corrected and fogging and density variation are precluded.

A portion of the toner that has not been transferred adheres to the surface of the drum after the transfer, and is scraped off by the cleaner blade 7. Since there is a difference in potential on the drum surface between exposed and unexposed areas,
By exposing the cold cathode tube 8 to light, the drum surface potential is lowered uniformly. This is the role of the cold cathode tube 8, but the surface potential on the photosensitive drum varies depending on the intensity of the erase light amount.
