摘要:
An intermediate image transfer type of image forming apparatus of the present invention includes an image carrier (40), an intermediate image transfer body (10), primary image transferring means (62) for transferring a toner image from the image carrier (40) to the intermediate image transfer body (10), and secondary image transferring means (22) for transferring the toner image from the intermediate image transfer body (10) to a sheet. When the surface resistivity of the intermediate image transfer body (10) is measured by a method that repeatedly applies a voltage of 200 V for 60 seconds to the intermediate image transfer body (10) and grounds the intermediate image transfer body (10) for 10 seconds 1,000 consecutive times, a difference in absolute value between the logarithm of the first time of measurement and that of the thousandth time of measurement is 0.5 log Ω/□ or below.

A belt tracking system (40) for controlling the lateral position of a movable belt (3) entrained about a plurality of generally parallel rollers (51, 52, 53, 54) includes a roller shaft (6), a stationary member (42), and a slidable member (41). The roller shaft (6) extends outward in an axial direction (Z) from an axial end of a specific one (52) of the plurality of generally parallel rollers (51, 52, 53, 54). The stationary member (42) is positioned adjacent to the roller shaft (6) to define a first interfacial surface (42a) therealong. The slidable member (41) is co-movably coupled with the roller shaft (6) to define a second interfacial surface (41 a) therealong. The belt tracking system (40) includes means (60) for pressing the slidable member (41) against the stationary member (42) to maintain continuous contact between the first and second interfacial surfaces (42a, 41a).

An image forming apparatus includes an image bearing member (20Y), supporting rollers (15,16), a belt-like-shaped medium (10), a primary transfer member (12Y), a secondary transfer member (5), and a grounded conductive roller. The image bearing member forms a toner image at a predetermined process speed. The belt-like shaped medium has a charge voltage. The primary transfer member sequentially transfers the toner image onto the belt-like-shaped medium and the secondary transfer member transfers the toner image onto a recording sheet (2). The conductive roller is arranged in contact with the belt-like shaped medium by a predetermined wrapping length. A relationship Tb

An image forming apparatus includes an image carrier (40), an endless belt (10) whose front surface moves endlessly and contacts the image carrier to form a transfer nip, and a bias applying roller (62) configured to apply a transfer bias to a back surface of the endless belt. An image is formed of a toner having an additive embedded rate of not less than 40 percent. The toner includes a mother particle having a binder resin and a colorant, and an external additive. The bias applying roller (62) is located so as to satisfy a relationship, L > (A/2)+(B/2)+C, where A is a diameter of the image carrier (40), B is a diameter of the bias applying roller (62), C is a thickness of the endless belt (10), and L is a distance between centers of the image carrier and the bias applying roller, on a virtual plane perpendicular to an axis direction of the image carrier.

A belt tracking system (50) for adjusting misalignment of a movable belt (3) in an axial direction of a plurality of rollers (51, 52, 53, 54) about which the movable belt (3) is entrained includes a slope member (41) and a stationary shaft guide (42). The slope member (41) is disposed at both ends of at least one of the plurality of rollers (51, 52, 53, 54) in the axial direction, to tilt the roller as the belt (3) moves in the axial direction. The stationary shaft guide (42) contacts the slope member (41). A distance between a contact point of the slope member (41) that contacts the stationary shaft guide (42) and an end portion of the slope member (41) in the axial direction is longer than a maximum traveling distance that the slope member (41) travels in the axial direction.
摘要:
A belt tracking system (50) for controlling the lateral position of a movable belt (3) entrained about a plurality of generally parallel rollers (51-54) for moving in a trans-axial direction (x, Y) perpendicular to an axial direction (Z) in which the rollers extend parallel to each other includes a roller shaft (6), a slidable member (41), and a rotation restrictor (47). The roller shaft extends outward in the axial direction from an axial end of a specific one of the plurality of generally parallel rollers. The slidable member is slidably disposed around the roller shaft to move along the roller shaft as the belt moves laterally outward in the axial direction. The rotation restrictor is disposed adjacent to the slidable member to restrict rotation of the slidable member around the roller shaft.
