摘要:
An image forming apparatus, a developing device and a developer cartridge are disclosed. The developer cartridge includes a cartridge housing and a developer delivery unit to deliver a developer received in the cartridge housing. The developer delivery unit includes a delivery member and a contact portion to come into contact with the delivery member. The contact between the contact portion and the delivery member form a length longer than a straight line connecting one end of the contact portion to the other end.
摘要:
A charging apparatus including a charging tube which has an outer surface contacting a photoconductive medium and electrically charges a surface of the photoconductive medium, a shaft which is disposed in the charging tube and to which a charging voltage is applied, and a conductive member which is connected to the shaft and contacts an inner surface of the charging tube. A friction coefficient between the conductive member and the inner surface of the charging tube may be less than a friction coefficient between the photoconductive medium and the outer surface of the charging tube, so that a slip phenomenon of the charging tube is prevented.
摘要:
A developing device usable with an image forming apparatus, which has an improved configuration to allow smooth flow of developer stored therein. The developing device includes a housing in which a developer receiving chamber is defined, a partition to divide the developer receiving chamber into a first developer receiving chamber and a second developer receiving chamber, and a first developer delivery member arranged in the first developer receiving chamber to deliver developer in a first direction. The partition includes at least one opening to communicate the first developer receiving chamber and the second developer receiving chamber with each other, and a shield to block between the first developer receiving chamber and the second developer receiving chamber at an upstream position of the first direction so as to isolate the two developer receiving chambers from each other.

A developing cartridge includes a body frame, a photosensitive body having a shaft, a developing unit having a shaft in parallel to the photosensitive body, a driven part that is rotatably joined to the shaft of the developing unit, a transmission part that has a transmission shaft in parallel to the shaft of the developing unit and is connected to the driven part in a transmittable manner, a unit casing that rotatably supports the shaft of the developing unit and the transmission shaft, is rotatably supported to the body frame, and controls the developing unit to approach the photosensitive body when the unit casing rotates in the same direction as a rotation direction of the photosensitive body, and a driving part that is provided in the body frame and rotates the transmission part in the same direction as the rotation direction of the photosensitive body.
摘要:
An image forming apparatus having a mounting/demounting structure between a main body and an image carrying unit. The image forming apparatus includes a main body provided with a first electrical connecting part, an image carrying unit removably mounted in the main body and provided with a second electrical connecting part, and a guide device to guide the image carrying unit in an insertion direction and a lateral direction so that the second electrical connecting part of the image carrying unit is connected to the first electrical connecting part of the main body. Accordingly, interference between the image carrying unit and an inner side surface of the main body is decreased, and mounting performance is enhanced.

摘要:
A developing unit of an image forming apparatus which can maintain a regular developing gap without a separate pressing member. The developing unit comprises a photoconductive drum which is rotatable, a developing roller rotating in association with the photoconductive drum and attaching a toner to the photoconductive drum, a toner supplying roller for supplying the toner to the developing roller, a first support body for rotatably supporting the photoconductive drum, and an idle gear being mounted in the first support body so that the centers of the idle gear, the photoconductive drum and the developing roller are arranged to form a triangle. In such an arrangement, a force is created and exerted upon the rollers to determine a position of the developing roller with respect to the photoconductive drum.
摘要:
An image forming device has a radiation element for emitting a light, a mirror motor for reflecting the light emitted from the radiation element, a lens for focusing and irradiating the reflected light to the photosensitive drum, and a light exposure unit including a first and a second control modules for controlling an energy of the light emitted from the radiation element for each light exposure unit. Therefore, the variation of development density can be minimized.
摘要:
An electro-photographic image forming apparatus preventing toner from scattering during a printing operation and a control method of the same. The electro-photographic image forming apparatus includes a scattering preventive member being disposed downstream of the developing roller at a predetermined distance from the photosensitive medium, and a voltage being applied, and a controller controlling the voltage that is applied to the scattering preventive member so as to transport the toner attached on the scattering preventive member to the photosensitive medium.
