    摘要: Image forming equipment having a developing device for developing a latent image electrostatically formed on an image carrier by a developer, and a cleaning device for removing the developer remaining on the image carrier and collecting it in a collecting section. The equipment determines whether or not the developer collected in the collecting section has reached a predetermined amount by determining whether or not a developer has been supplemented to the developing device a predetermined number of times. The number of times that a developer is supplemented to the developing device is counted on the basis of the output of a supplement detector which determines whether or not a developer has been supplemented. The supplement detector determines that developer has been supplied only when a predetermined number of copies have been made after a toner low/empty signal is indicated or the toner concentration is detected to increase after the toner low/empty signal is indicated.

    摘要: A developing device for an image forming apparatus includes a developer carrier such as a developing sleeve having a magnetic field generating device therein which carries and conveys a developer containing toner and magnetic carrier particles. The developing device also includes a first regulating member such as a blade which regulates the developer being carried and conveyed by the developer carrier, and a developer storing section stores developer scraped off the developer carrier by the first regulating member. The developer storing section includes a second regulating member arranged upstream of the first regulating member with respect to a direction in which the developer carrier conveys the developer. The developing device further includes a toner storing section provided adjacent to the developer storing section to supply toner to the developer carrier. A contact condition of the developer carried on the developer carrier with the toner supplied to the developer carrier from the toner storing section is varied in accordance with variation of a toner density in the developer carried on the developer carrier to thereby vary a condition of the developer on the developer carrier to attract the toner. The second regulating member is spaced from the developer carrier such that when a thickness of a layer of the developer on the developer carrier increases due to an increase of the toner density in the developer on the developer carrier, the second regulating member regulates an increased amount of the developer being carried and conveyed by the developer carrier. The magnetic fields, toner speeds, and distances of the regulating members to the developer carrier satisfy predetermined conditions in different embodiments.

The sifting device includes a tubular sieve for separating reusable toner from the used toner and a device for holding the sieve so that the sieve is rotatable. The sieve has an opening for receiving the used toner conveyed from the intake device to be moved into the sifting device and an opening for discharging the remaining toner separated from the reusable toner and remaining inside the sifting device. The toner sorting device further includes a device for collecting the reusable toner separated from the used toner by the sifting device and a device for collecting the remaining toner discharged from the sifting device. The toner sorting device further includes a device for accelerating sifting of the used toner by the sifting device.

    摘要: A charge quenching apparatus for quenching unnecessary charges on a latent electrostatic-image bearing photoconductor of an electrophotographic copying machine for making copies with clean margins when the size of the maximum-latent-image area on the photoconductor, corresponding to the size of the original, is smaller than the transfer sheet employed, in the unit magnification and in the variable magnification, and for making copies without applying excess load to a cleaning apparatus of the photoconductor when copies bearing part of the image of the original are made or when copies bearing a reduced-size image of the original are made. In the charge quenching apparatus, the size of the maximum-latent-image area selected and the size of the transfer sheet selected are compared, and charges in the area outside the area corresponding to the smaller size determined by the above-mentioned comparison are quenched.
