摘要:
An image transferring device (1) incorporated in an image forming apparatus and capable of surely preventing a sheet from wrapping around a photoconductive element (2) and from being incompletely separated from a transfer belt (5). A transfer bias and discharge are effected to prevent changes in the resistances of the transfer belt (5) and sheet ascribable to changes in environment from translating into changes in a current to flow to the photoconductive element (2), and to efficiently dissipate a charge deposited on the belt (5). Various members constituting the device are positioned relative to one another such that the discharging effect is achievable most effectively while preventing the transfer bias from causing dielectric breakdown in any constituent part.

An image transferring and recording medium conveying device for an image forming apparatus of the present invention includes a belt (11) forming a nip (N) for image transfer between it and an image carrier (W) and conveying a recording medium (P) via the nip to thereby transfer a toner image formed on the image carrier to the recording medium. A bias applying device applies a bias for image transfer to the nip. Assume that an image transfer bias Tb is applied during a leading edge interval in which the leading edge portion of the recording medium between the leading edge and a preselected position in the direction of medium conveyance moves away from the nip, and that an image transfer bias Ta is applied to the nip during a remaining interval in which the remaining portion of the recording medium moves away from the nip. Then, a controller switches the image transfer bias Tb within a range lower than the image transfer bias Ta.
摘要:
In an image transfer device for an image forming equipment, a bias for image transfer is applied from a power source to an endless transfer belt via a bias roller. A current from the transfer belt is released to ground via a ground electrode. Transfer control means variably controls a current I 1 output from the power source such that the difference between the current I 1 and a current I 2 flowing from the power source to the ground electrode via the transfer belt, i.e., I out = I 1 - I 2 remains at a preselected target current. Setting means sets the target current on the basis of a set condition or conditions.

Transfer control means variably controls a current I₁ output from the power source such that the difference between the current I₁ and a current I₂ flowing from the power source to the ground electrode via the transfer belt, i.e., I out = I₁ - 1₂ remains at a preselected target current. Setting means sets the target current on the basis of a set condition or conditions.
