摘要:
In a powder supplying device, a powder container contains powder therein and is provided at a bottom of the powder container with a gas blowout part for ejecting gas to the inside of the powder container. A powder transport unit attracts powder contained in the powder container from a suction opening and transports the powder to a powder receiving device. A first detection unit is provided in the powder container to detect a remaining powder in the powder container.

In an image forming device including an image support object which supports an electrostatic latent image, and a developing device which turns the electrostatic latent image formed on the surface of the image support object, into a visible image with toner, a powder storing unit stores powder for image formation which is either a developing agent containing a toner and a carrier or a toner. A powder supplying unit supplies the powder stored in the powder storing unit, to the developing device. The powder storing unit includes a gas supplying unit which blows off a gas from an exhaust outlet of the gas supplying unit into the powder storing unit, and a powder passage which allows the powder storing unit to communicate with the developing device.

There is provided a toner container filling device and a toner production management system. The toner container filling device is installed at a toner container filling base and is able to fill a toner container with toner automatically, and obtain information about the toner container filling process while filling the toner container with toner. The toner production management system receives the information from the toner container filling device, and determines the amount of toner to be produced at a toner production base and time of delivering toner to the toner container filling base according to the received information.
摘要:
The object of the present invention is to provide toner supplying devices, toner supplying processes, and the like that control the bulk density of the mixture of toner and gas more efficiently thereby the fluidity of the mixture is enhanced, and the high fluidity may be maintained for a long period. The object is attained by a toner supplying device that comprises a toner containing portion configured to store a toner, a toner outlet configured to discharge the toner from the toner containing portion, a conveying pipe configured to convey the toner, and a gas feeding unit configured to feed a gas, wherein the toner supplying device supplies the toner from the toner containing portion to an image forming unit of an image forming apparatus, a porous member is disposed near the toner outlet, and the gas is fed into the toner containing portion through the porous member.
摘要:
An apparatus for packing a container with powder of the present invention includes a suction pipe. The suction pipe includes an air separating portion implemented by a plurality of layers that are sieve nets or filters each having a particular mesh size. The air separating portion can therefore suck air contained in the powder over its entire periphery, enhancing dense, accurate packing of the container with the powder.
摘要:
A powder packing apparatus of the present invention is capable of sending a gas uniformly into powder to thereby fluidize the powder with a minimum amount of gas. The gas conveys the fluidized powder to the bottom of a container that may have a small mouth or a sophisticated configuration. The gas present in the powder introduced in the container is released via a powder layer between a nozzle and the mouth. The apparatus can therefore easily, densely pack the container with the powder without causing the powder to fly out of the container. Further, the apparatus is miniature, easy to carry and easy to operate and can therefore be handled by any person at any plate.
摘要:
The invention discloses a powder filling device and method which is capable of making stable powder flow rate, preventing powder from being leaked or dispersed during filling operation, and filling the powder in a short time in a new powder filling system filling the powder from a measuring tank to a powder filling container. The powder filling device comprises a measuring tank having a powder discharge port and a filling amount control unit disposed near the powder discharge port, and an auxiliary container having an opening disposed on the underside of the powder discharge port of the measuring tank which faces downward. The powder filling device is characterized in that a powder externally delivered into the measuring tank is discharged from the powder discharge port into the powder filling container disposed on the underside of the auxiliary container while a filling amount of the powder is controlled by the filling amount control unit, and the powder is temporarily dropped to the auxiliary container, and further dropped to the powder filling container so that the powder filling container is filled up with the powder.
