摘要:
An apparatus to collect a used toner on a photoconductive drum in a laser printer, includes: a used toner collecting bucket having a used toner entry port into which the used toner on the photoconductive drum flows; a cleaning blade installed at the used toner entry port to guide the used toner to the used toner entry port by scraping off the used toner from the photoconductive drum; and a used toner transferring unit to transfer the used toner so that the used toner accumulated at the used toner entry port is evenly distributed within the used toner collecting bucket.

An apparatus and a method for optimizing an image transfer environment in an electrophotographic developing device is provided. The apparatus includes at least one or more discharging parts disposed on a printing path, contacting with a printing paper as it is fed, for discharging electrostatic electricity formed on the printing paper; a feeder roller made of a conductive material, for electrically detecting an amount of humidity contained in the printing paper and for feeding the printing paper between the transfer roller and the photosensitive drum; and a ground controller for selectively controlling connection or disconnection of the at least one or more grounds based upon the humidity amount input from the feeder roller to the ground controller.

An image forming apparatus using an electrophotographic processor with a transfer roller, a charge roller and a photosensitive drum for image formation. The photosensitive drum is comprised of a cylindrical elastic body exhibiting a predetermined level of elasticity; a conductive film formed on an outer surface of said cylindrical elastic body; an image carrier generation layer of a first photoconductive material formed on the conductive film; and an image carrier transfer layer of a second photoconductive material formed on said image carrier generation layer.

A color image forming device has an image forming cartridge including a cartridge frame that receives a plurality of image forming units. A movable fixing part supports at least one of the shafts of a plurality of photosensitive bodies disposed in the image forming units so that the shaft is rotatably fixed. The shafts of the other photosensitive bodies are movable and rotatable when the plurality of image forming units are received in the cartridge frame. A mounting frame receives the image forming cartridge, and has a shaft receiving part formed at a position corresponding to the ends of the shafts of the photosensitive bodies. The color image forming device accurately fixes the position of the shafts of the photosensitive bodies when the image forming cartridge is assembled in the mounting frame, thereby producing a high quality image reliably.

A tandem color image forming device comprises an image forming cartridge including a cartridge frame having a supporting part receiving a plurality of image forming units in parallel to modularize in a body, and a movable fixing part supporting at least one of a plurality of center shafts of photosensitive bodies disposed in the plurality of image forming units to be unmovable, but rotatable, and the other of the plurality of center shafts of the photosensitive bodies to be movable and rotatable when the plurality of image forming units are received in the cartridge frame, and a mounting frame formed at a main body to mount the image forming cartridge therein, and having a shaft receiving part formed at a position corresponding to both ends of the center shafts of the photosensitive bodies of the image forming units to receive both ends of the center shafts of the photosensitive bodies when the image forming cartridge is mounted in the mounting frame. The tandem color image forming device can accurately fix the center shafts of the photosensitive bodies of the image forming units in position when the image forming cartridge is assembled in the mounting frame, thereby obtaining a high quality image reliably.
摘要:
A laser printer including a printer main body having a mounting portion exposed by opening a front door which is mounted on a front side of the printer main body; a side door unit mounted on a side of the printer main body to be opened and closed and rotatably supporting a transfer roller; a developing unit removably mounted in the mounting portion and having a photosensitive drum in contact with the transfer roller when mounted in the mounting portion and an opening for exposing the photosensitive drum to the external environment; an interlock device for preventing the mounted developing unit from being; removed from the mounting portion when the side door unit is closed; and a shutter device associated in operation with the interlock device to close the opening when the side door unit is opened, and expose the opening when the side door unit is closed.
摘要:
An automatic belt tension apparatus of an image forming device having: a tension actuating part connected to the driving unit and operating by a driving force of a driving unit; a tension applying part to selectively apply a predetermined tension to a belt, installed with respect to the belt; and a tension releasing part to operate the tension applying part to not apply the predetermined tension to the belt, installed with respect to the tension applying part.
