摘要:
An electrophotographic apparatus comprising: a housing; a photosensitive member electrified by an electrification device; an exposure device for forming an electrostatic latent image onto the photosensitive member; a developing device for forming a toner image onto the photosensitive member; an intermediate transfer body to which the toner image is to be transferred; a transfer device for transferring the toner image formed on the intermediate transfer body onto a paper; a fixing device for heating the toner image on the paper; device for ejecting the paper outside the housing; device for exhausting the heat derived from the fixing device outside the housing; a cover provided on an upper portion of the fixing device; and an airflow path extending in a longitudinal direction of the fixing device and being provided by the cover and the housing, wherein the heat exhausting device is provided in an end portion of the airflow path.
摘要:
An apparatus for transferring toner images which is capable of executing optimum discharging control even where the environment, the material of the paper, and the kind of paper may be changed.First, the load current is detected when the transferring roller 11 is pressed to a transferring drum 6. The detected load current is converted to a characteristics detecting signal S6 at a signal converting section 109. An environment is selected on the basis of the characteristics detecting signal S6. Next, the load current flowing to the transferring roller 11 is detected when an AC discharger 14 is stopped. The detected load current is converted to characteristics detecting signal S6 at the signal converting section 109. A voltage control signal is selected based on the converted characteristics detecting signal S6, the environmental information, and the paper kind. A power source for discharging 22 is controlled by the selected voltage control signal so that the transferring becomes optimum.Accordingly, even if the kind of paper and environment is changed, optimum transferring and high transferring efficiency can be maintained.

A sheet cutting device includes a cutter including opposed blades to cut a sheet fed along a sheet feed path to the device, a cutter holder holding the cutter and reciprocally movable in a width direction of the sheet perpendicular to a sheet feed direction in which the sheet is fed, and a guide member including a first path to guide the holder in the width direction of the sheet to cut the sheet with the cutter and a second path to guide the holder in the width direction after the sheet is cut. The second path is disposed away from the first path in a thickness direction of the sheet perpendicular to both the sheet feed direction and the width direction of the sheet. When the holder moves along the second path, the holder is retracted away from the sheet feed path in the thickness direction of the sheet.

An electronic color photography apparatus includes a photosensitive body and a plurality of detachable developing devices. A power for moving the developing devices close to the photosensitive body is created by a retracting force of a slanted teeth gear which is driven at one side of a body of the electronic color photography apparatus.

A color electrophotographic apparatus eliminates necessity of mechanism for urging the developer from the front side. The developer is placed away from a photo conductor. On both sides of the developer, mutually cooperated gears are provided. One of the gear meshes with a drive gear with a clutch for driving the developer. The other gear is meshed with a brake gear coupled with a brake mechanism whose brake function can be turned On and OFF by an electric signal. The drive gear is arranged to urge the developer onto the photo conductor by rotation thereof. When the gear of the developer rotates, the brake gear is arranged at a position to urge the developer onto the photo conductor. The torque to start slippage of the brake is set at a value to be greater than a force of a spring pushing back the developer.
