摘要:
An image forming apparatus includes a movable intermediary transfer member (40), a toner image forming unit (PY, PM, PC, PK), a rotatable transfer member (12), a fixing unit (60), a recording material feeding portion (31), an executing portion (34), and first and second cleaning units (90). The first cleaning unit (91) includes a first brush roller (91B), a first rotatable member (91C) and a first blade member (91D). The second cleaning unit includes a second brush roller (92B), a second rotatable member (92C), a second blade member (92D) and a third blade member (92F). The third blade member is disposed downstream of the cleaning portion and upstream of a contact portion, between the second rotatable member and the second brush roller, with respect to a rotational direction of the second rotatable member, and scrapes a deposited matter off the second rotatable member with the rotation of the second rotatable member (92c).

An image forming apparatus (1) includes a toner image supporting section (103) and a medium transfer section (104A). The toner image supporting section (103) includes first and second toner image supporting member (31T, 31W / 31C, 31M, 31Y) that support first and second toner images (TT, WT / CT, MT, YT) at first and second linear speeds (Vd1 / Vd2), respectively. The medium transfer section (104A) transfers, onto a medium (PM), the first and second toner images (TT, WT / CT, MT, YT) respectively supported by the first and second toner image supporting members (31T, 31W / 31C, 31M, 31Y), to thereby cause the first and second toner images (TT, WT / CT, MT, YT) to be superimposed on each other. The following conditional expression (1) is satisfied when the medium transfer section (104A) transfers the first and second toner images (TT, WT / CT, MT, YT) onto the medium (PM), Vd 1 − Vdt 1 / Vt 1 > Vd 2 − Vt 2 / Vt 2 where Vd1 is the first linear speed (Vd1), Vt1 is a first conveyance speed (Vt1) of the medium (PM), Vd2 is the second linear speed (Vd2), and Vt2 is a second conveyance speed (Vt2) of the medium (PM).

An image forming apparatus has: an image bearing member (51) which bears a toner image; a transfer member (56) which comes into pressure contact with the image bearing member and transfers the toner image on the image bearing member onto a recording material; a first cleaning member (71) which electrostatically collects the toner on the transfer member (56); and a second cleaning member (72) which electrostatically collects the toner on the first cleaning member, wherein when a ratio of an amount of toner which is adsorbed by the first cleaning member to an amount of toner on the transfer member is assumed to be α (%) and a ratio of an amount of toner which is adsorbed by the second cleaning member to an amount of toner on the first cleaning member is assumed to be β (%), α > 90 (%), β > 90 (%), and α ≤ β.
摘要:
A charging device (10) in an image forming apparatus is provided with an image carrier such as a photosensitive drum (12) or image forming medium on which an electrostatic latent image is developed. The charging device has a brush roller (14) for charging the carrier. The roller brush is rotatably mounted and formed with inclined fibers planted on a shaft, the roller brush satisfying the following formulas: L₂ ≦ L₁-0.5 L₂ ≧ L₁×0.5 wherein L represents a length of fibers and L represents a thickness of the brush. The charging device further has means (28) for removing the charges from the surface of the brush roller and means (28) for cleaning an area where the charges are removed by the charge removing means.
