摘要:
A developing device for use in an electrophotographic apparatus includes a casing for storing a developer including a toner and a carrier therein; a photosensitive drum having a surface on which an electrostatic latent image is formed; a carrying magnetic roll for drawing up the developer stored in said casing; a developing magnetic roll for forming a magnetic brush out of the developer fed by the carrying magnetic roll to develop the electrostatic latent image; and a developer mixing chamber including an impeller interposed between the carrying and developing magnetic rolls, for mixing the toner and carrier contained in the developer with each other, which is drawn up by the carrying magnetic roll, to supply the mixed developer to the developing magnetic roll.
摘要:
A toner density detection method for an electrophotographic apparatus in which driving of a rotary roll provided at an outlet of a special vessel is continued for a predetermined period of time (e.g., several seconds) after the operation of the electrophotographic apparatus is stopped. All or substantially all of the developing agent is thus exhausted or removed from the special vessel after the electrophotographic apparatus is stopped, so that the true permeability of the developing agent can be detected by a permeability sensor when the operation of the electrophotographic apparatus is restarted. As a result, the toner density of the developing agent can be controlled and kept normal, so that the printing quality can be stabilized.

A developing device in an electrophotographic apparatus, wherein a pole c.sub.1 which is a delivering magnetic pole of the second developing roll for delivering the developer to the first developing roll and a pole d.sub.1 which is a receiving magnetic pole of the second developing roll for receiving the developer from the first developing roll are set so as to be the same in polarity, whereas a pole a.sub.2 which is a receiving magnetic pole of the first developing roll for receiving the developer from the second developing roll and a pole g.sub.2 which is a delivering magnetic pole of the first developing roll for delivering the developer to the second developing roll are set to be equal in polarity, wherein each of an angle between the poles c.sub.1 and d.sub.1 and an angle between the poles a.sub.2 and g.sub.2 is set so as to be in a range of from 70.degree. to 120.degree., and wherein the magnetic flux density of each of a reaction pole induced between the poles c.sub.1 and d.sub.1 and a reaction pole induced between the poles a.sub.2 and g.sub.2 is set so as to be less than or equal to 0.015 tesla.
摘要:
A simple optical recorder which permits alignment of scanning positions of a plurality of laser beams with high accuracy and effects optical recording using the laser beams. The optical recorder is provided with a photosensitive drum which is scanned by a plurality of laser beams formed in rows at an inclined angle with respect to the direction of scan, a single photosensor for sensing each of the sweep positions of the laser beams, and a controller for controlling the scanning positions of the laser beams on the basis of a sensing result of the sensor. The controller is made up of an optical sensing signal separation circuit, synchronous clock generation circuits, FIFO memory circuit elements, and OR circuits.
