Description
本发明涉及一种打印耗材，尤其是一种用于激光打印机的处理盒。本发明基于申请日为2010年5月5日、申请号为201010163266.X的中国发明专利申请，该申请的内容作为参考引入本文。
激光打印机是常见的打印设备，为现代化办公提供极大的方便。现有的激光打印机大多使用可拆卸地安装到激光打印机内的处理盒提供打印使用的碳粉，在打印过程中，处理盒装载的碳粉转印在作为打印介质的纸张上，形成所需的图案和文字。
现有的一类处理盒具有容纳碳粉的碳粉仓以及容纳废碳粉的废粉仓，该类处理盒的结构如图1所示。
参见图1，处理盒具有一个壳体1，壳体1上设有一个手柄15，便于使用者把握。
参见图2，处理盒的壳体1由鼓框架11、碳粉仓框架12以及两个端盖13、14组成，其中手柄15位于鼓框架11上。碳粉仓框架12具有一个用于容纳碳粉的碳粉仓，在碳粉仓外设有送粉辊21、显影辊25、出粉刀31。
鼓框架11具有一个废粉仓，用于容纳废旧碳粉，废粉仓外设有感光鼓36、充电辊41以及清洁刮刀48。处理盒组装时，鼓框架11与碳粉仓框架12通过两侧的端盖13、14连接固定，并且鼓框架11、碳粉仓框架12以及端盖13、14围成一个腔体，送粉辊21、显影辊25、出粉刀31、感光鼓36、充电辊41以及清洁刮刀48等部件位于该腔体内。
参见图3，送粉辊21具有一根金属制成的芯轴22，芯轴22外包裹有弹性层23，芯轴22的两端延伸到弹性层23外，送粉辊21用于向显影辊25供给碳粉并对显影辊25显影后表面残留碳粉进行清洁。在芯轴22的一端连接有一导电片24，导电片24延伸到端盖14外。处理盒安装到激光打印机后，导电片24与激光打印机的电触点接触，激光打印机通过电触点向导电片24提供电压值固定的电压，用于消除碳粉中部分极性电荷及提供足够的显影偏压的电场力。
类似地，显影辊25也具有一根金属制成的芯轴26，芯轴26外包裹有弹性层27，如海绵、橡胶等，芯轴26的一端也连接有导电片28，导电片28外端延伸到端盖14外。导电片28与激光打印机的另一电触点连接，接收来自激光打印机的供给的电压。显影辊25的芯轴26接收激光打印机供给的电压后，在其附近形成电场。处理盒工作时，显影辊25外表面还会与碳粉产生静电作用，用于将碳粉吸附在显影辊25外表面上。
出粉刀31与显影辊25平行设置，其具有一个刀架32以及安装在刀架32上的刀片33，刀片33沿轴向弹性地抵压在显影辊25的外表面上，用于控制碳粉层厚度在显影辊表面均匀分布，还向显影辊25提供一定的挤压力，以摩擦碳粉使其带电。刀架32的一端与导电片34连接，导电片34的一端延伸到端盖14外。处理盒安装到激光打印机后，导电片34用于接收激光打印机供电。
感光鼓36与显影辊25的轴线平行设置，感光鼓36的外表面为感光层，显影辊25外表面的碳粉可转移到感光鼓36的外表面。
按感光鼓36的工作转向看，其上游设有充电辊41，充电辊41具有金属制成的芯轴42，芯轴42外设有导电层43，导电层43与感光鼓36的外表面接触并向感光鼓36供电。芯轴42的一端套装有一个支架44，支架44上安装有弹簧45，弹簧45与导电片46连接。处理盒安装到激光打印机后，导电片46用于接收激光打印机供电，并使充电辊41上形成高压直流电，从而向感光鼓36充电，使感光鼓36外表面带负电。
感光鼓36的下游设有清洁刮刀48，用于刮除转印完毕后残留在感光鼓36外表面的碳粉。
参见图4，显影辊25外表面的碳粉通过电场力转移到感光鼓36的外表面。激光打印机工作时，容纳在碳粉仓内的碳粉通过送粉辊21供给到显影辊25外表面，送粉辊21工作时不断旋转，其旋转方向如图4中箭头A1所示。
送粉辊21与显影辊25的外表面邻接，因此在送粉辊21旋转过程中将吸附在外表面的碳粉转移到显影辊25的外表面，显影辊25工作时也不断旋转，其旋转方向如图4中箭头A2所示。显影辊25旋转过程中，其外表面多余的碳粉将经过出粉刀31的刮除，刀片33刮除吸附在显影辊25外表面过厚的碳粉，从而确保显影辊25外表面碳粉层的厚度，使显影辊25外表面碳粉层厚度均匀。
由于部分碳粉会不适当地带上正电荷，或者部分碳粉所带负电荷不足，因此出粉刀31也需要带负电，刮除多余碳粉时，需要将刀片上的负电荷转移到碳粉上，确保显影辊25外表面碳粉带有均匀的负电荷。
另一方面，充电辊41向感光鼓36充电，使感光鼓36外表面均匀地带负电。激光打印机工作时，激光器向感光鼓36表面照射带有图像信息的激光，此过程为曝光过程，在感光鼓36表面被照射的区域形成潜影，即曝光区域电荷消失，呈电中性。
由于感光鼓36上未曝光区域带负电，而曝光区域为电中性，显影辊25附近形成电场，电场力的方向是从显影辊25外表面指向感光鼓36的外表面，且显影辊25外表面的碳粉也带负电，根据电荷在电场中运动的原理，显影辊25外表面的碳粉，将在电场力的作用下由显影辊25外表面移动到感光鼓36上曝光区域。并且，由于非曝光区域的电场力高于的显影偏压，因此显影辊25外表面的碳粉不会移动到感光鼓36外表面的非曝光区域，此过程为显影过程。
最后，作为打印介质的纸张从感光鼓36下方经过，碳粉将转印到纸张上，碳粉经过加热后定影在纸张上，打印工作完成。
感光鼓36完成转印过程后，清洁刮刀48将刮除残留在感光鼓36外表面的碳粉，废粉被收集进入废粉仓，避免影响感光鼓36的下一打印工作周期。
由于不同碳粉的颗粒大小不同，且不同碳粉获取电荷的能力不尽相同，这要求加载在显影辊25芯轴26上的电压根据碳粉的特性进行相应调整。例如，部分碳粉颗粒较小，或者获取电荷能力较强，在现有显影辊25产生的电场中电场力的作用下，较容易转移至感光鼓36的表面，这需要降低供给显影辊25芯轴26的电压。
但是，激光打印机向显影辊25加载的电压值固定，颗粒较小或获取电荷能力较强的碳粉有可能转移到感光鼓36外表面非曝光区域，往往导致感光鼓36的非曝光区域上形成一层薄薄的碳粉层，碳粉层转印至纸张后，形成“灰底”现象，影响打印质量，并且还会造成碳粉的浪费，给使用者带来经济损失。
本发明的主要目的是提供一种能有效避免打印质量问题的处理盒。
本发明的另一目的是提供一种防止灰底现象产生的处理盒。
为实现上述的主要目的，本发明提供的处理盒具有壳体，壳体具有容纳碳粉的碳粉仓，壳体内还设置有感光鼓、向感光鼓供电的充电辊、将碳粉传递至感光鼓的显影辊以及用于调整显影辊上碳粉层厚度的出粉刀，显影辊的一端设有向显影辊供电的第一导电片，其中，显影辊与第一导电片之间连接有一降压器件。
一个优选的方案是，降压器件为电阻。
进一步的方案是，显影辊包括芯轴以及包裹在芯轴外的弹性层，第二导电片抵接在芯轴的轴端，降压器件焊接在第一导电片与第二导电片之间。
本发明能根据处理盒装载碳粉颗粒大小及碳粉获取电荷的能力，选取合适的降压器件，从而降低加载在显影辊上的电压值，避免造成灰底现象，提高打印质量，也减少碳粉的浪费。

清洁刮刀（图5中未示）位于感光鼓68的上方，用于刮除转印后残留在感光鼓68外表面的碳粉。
参见图6，显影辊56具有金属制成的芯轴57，芯轴57外包裹有弹性层58，芯轴57的两端延伸到弹性层58外。芯轴57外设有导电片60，导电片60延伸到处理盒的端盖外，且在处理盒工作时接收激光打印机的电压。
在芯轴57的轴端设有导电片59，导电片59抵接在芯轴57的轴端，且导电片59与导电片60之间焊接有作为降压器件的电阻81，电阻81的一端82焊接在导电片60上，另一端83焊接在导电片59上。
由此可见，可根据碳粉的特性，如碳粉颗粒大小、获取电荷能力等，计算加载在显影辊56芯轴57的合适电压值，并根据激光打印机加载在导电片60上的电压值，计算电阻81的阻值，并选取合适的电阻81焊接在导电片60与导电片59之间。
优选地，电阻81为电阻值可调的电阻，可根据碳粉特性等实际情况调节电阻81的电阻值，更有利于处理盒的工作。
激光打印机工作时，由于显影辊56的芯轴57带合适的负电压，因此能在显影辊56附近形成合适的电场，即降低电场力，避免颗粒较小的碳粉吸附在感光鼓68外表面非曝光区域上，有效防止“灰底”现象的产生，提高打印质量。并且，还能避免不必要的碳粉消耗，从而避免浪费。
当然，上述方案仅是本发明较佳的实施方案，实际应用时，还可以有更多的变化，例如使用专用的降压电路替代电阻作为降压器件；或者，将一弹簧套装在显影辊芯轴的一端，电阻的一端焊接在弹簧上、另一端焊接在导电片60上等，这些改变并不影响本发明的实施。
最后需要强调的是，本发明不限于上述实施方式，如降压器件的改变、降压器件连接位置的改变等微小的变化也应该包括在本发明权利要求的保护范围内。
与现有技术相比，本发明提供的处理盒中，显影辊56芯轴57未直接与导电片60连接，而是通过一降压器件与导电片60连接，激光打印机供给导电片60的电压经过降压器件的降压后供给显影辊56的芯轴57。这样，处理盒的生产厂家可根据处理盒装载的碳粉特性，计算向显影辊56的芯轴57加载的合适电压值，从而根据激光打印机向导电片60加载的电压计算选用合适的降压器件。可见，处理盒生产厂家根据处理盒碳粉的特性调节降压器件的降压值，可防止颗粒较小或吸附电荷能力较强的碳粉吸附在感光鼓68外表面的非曝光区域上，从而防止“灰底”现象的产生，避免造成打印质量问题，同时也减少碳粉的消耗，避免造成不必要的浪费。
