摘要： An image forming apparatus has two units which are engageable with a photoconductive element and provided with a substantially identical configuration. Various electrophotographic process devices including a developing device and a cleaning device and to be arranged around the photoconductive element are selectively arranged in the two units. The photoconductive element is passed over two rollers such that part of the element forms parallel flat portions. The two units and the photoconductive element are rotatable integrally with each other.

摘要： A developing unit incorporated in an image forming apparatus and capable of transporting a developer or a toner deposited on a developing roller in a predetermined direction without rotating the developing roller, or developer carrier. The developing roller has an unrotatable base roller, a stationary body provided on the base roller and made of an insulating material, and a plurality of drive electrodes buried in the stationary body. The drive electrodes are divided into three electrode groups. Voltages whose polarities change at predetermined intervals are applied to the three electrode groups, causing the toner to be transported by the coaction of the charge of the toner and the charges of the drive electrodes. The drive electrodes are arranged at a pitch which is substantially one-third of the particle size of the toner, so that the toner may be deposited on the developing roller substantially without any clearance. To enhance repulsion acting on the toner and, therefore, efficient development, higher voltages are applied to part of the drive electrodes located in a developing region than part of the drive electrodes located in a transporting region. Such voltages may be replaced with voltages on which alternating voltages are superposed.

摘要翻译： 一种显影单元，其结合在图像形成装置中，并且能够在不旋转显影辊或显影剂载体的情况下将预定方向上运送显影剂或沉积在显影辊上的调色剂。 显影辊具有不可旋转的底辊，固定体设置在基辊上并由绝缘材料制成，并且多个驱动电极埋在固定体中。 驱动电极分为三个电极组。 其极性以预定间隔改变的电压被施加到三个电极组，导致调色剂通过调色剂的电荷和驱动电极的电荷的共同作用而被输送。 驱动电极以基本上是调色剂粒度的三分之一的间距布置，使得调色剂可以基本上没有间隙地沉积在显影辊上。 为了增强作用在调色剂上的斥力，因此有效地发展，位于显影区域的部分驱动电极的位置比驱动电极位于传送区域的部分更高的电压。 这样的电压可以用交替电压叠加的电压代替。
