摘要:
A position detecting device includes a plurality of detecting units (6a, 6b) that detects marks on an object (10), a plurality of housing units (1011, 1012) that houses the detecting units (6a, 6b), and a holding member (1005) that fixedly holds the housing units (1011, 1012) . A total expansion amount of the housing units (1011, 1012) due to temperature change is substantially equal to an expansion amount of the holding member (1005) between the fixed positions due to temperature change. The total expansion amount represents a total amount of expansion of the housing units (1011, 1012) from a fixed-position plane including a fixed position to a detection-position plane including a detection position in a direction parallel to a moving direction of the object (10). The fixed-position plane and the detection-position plane are perpendicular to the moving direction of the object (10).

To prevent a belt and image forming means from being stained by spilled toner and also to reduce the vibration of an exposure means (6) and to facilitate maintenance. An image forming apparatus is of a tandem type in which mage forming stations Y, M, C, K for respective colors are arranged along a transfer belt (14). Each image forming station Y, M, C, K has an image carrier (17), a charging means (19) and a developing means (20) which are arranged around the image carrier (17). The image forming apparatus forms a multi-color image by passing the transfer belt (14) through the respective image forming stations. The transfer belt (14) is laid around a driving roller (12) and a driven roller (13) with a constant tension. In one embodiment both the transfer belt and image forming apparatus are located above the exposure means (6,21). Still other embodiment show one or two pivotally movable frame sections (3) containing the transfer belt.

An image forming apparatus includes a plurality of photosensitive drums, a plurality of developing devices, an intermediate transfer medium, primary transfer members, and a secondary transfer member for transferring toner images onto a transfer material. A full-color mode and a monocolor mode are selectively carried out. The image forming apparatus also includes a CPU for adjusting the length of a non-image forming region, and an intermediate-transfer-medium movement controller. The CPU brings about a switching state in which an image forming region lies between a primary transfer position on the most downstream one of the photosensitive drums and a secondary transfer position and in which non-image forming regions simultaneously lie at the primary transfer position and at the secondary transfer position. The intermediate-transfer-medium movement controller switches between the full-color mode and the monocolor mode during the switching state.

An image forming apparatus includes: an apparatus body; an image carrier unit that includes: a support member; and an image carrier that is rotatably supported by the support member and directly or indirectly carries images; a positioning part that is provided at the apparatus body and positions the image carrier unit by being abutted against the support member; a plurality of rotating bodies which are provided in the apparatus body; and a control unit that controls driving states of the plurality of rotating bodies, wherein the control unit controls the rotating bodies so that a resultant force of forces applied to the image carrier unit from the plurality of rotating bodies is always applied in a normal direction where the support member is abutted against the positioning part, in a period where the plurality of rotating bodies moves to a normal rotation state from a stopped state.
摘要:
In a rotary-type image forming apparatus, rotation of a rotary is temporarily stopped or slowed down (STEP 1) at a position where a coupling member and a drive transmission member are engageable with each other, and a developing roller (STEP 2) is set in a rotating state. Subsequently, the rotary is rotated (STEP 3) so as to bring the developing roller into contact with a surface of a photosensitive drum.
摘要:
A detecting unit (1) detects a conveying speed of a conveyer member (2). A driving unit (M) drives the conveyer member (2). A first control unit (420) performs a first feedback control of the conveying speed based on detected conveying speed and a predetermined target conveying speed. A second control unit (430) detects a rotation speed of the driving unit (M) and performs a second feedback control of the rotation speed based on detected rotation speed and a predetermined target rotation speed. A determining unit (340, 1240) determines whether the detecting unit (1) is anomalous based on the detected conveying speed while the first feedback control is performed. When determining unit (340, 1240) determines that the detecting unit (1) is anomalous, a switching unit (330, 630, 830, 835) that switches from the first feedback control to the second feedback control.
