专利说明:

The invention relates to electrophotographic copying, in particular to devices with a system for developing a latent image of the type 'magnetic brush'. 5
Electrophotographic photocopiers are widely known in which a manifestation system of the 'type' magnetic brush 'C1] and [2] is implemented.
The closest solution to the proposed technical essence and the achieved result is an electrophotographic photocopier containing an electrophotographic image carrier, charging, exposure, transfer, fixing, cleaning and developing units of the 'magnetic brush' type with a rotating developing roller serving as an electrode to which bias voltage is applied [2J. 20
A disadvantage of the known electrophotographic photocopier is the low quality of the manifestation due to the presence of the 'edge effect' and the incomplete elimination of the manifestation of the background. 25
The purpose of the invention is the improvement of the development process by obtaining a developing electrostatic field, constant across the width of the development zone and smoothly varying along the length of the development zone, which positively affects the quality of the copies.
To achieve this goal in the known electrophotographic copying machine containing an image electrophotographic carrier, charging units, exposure, transferring, fixing t purification and expressions of type "magnetic brush" with a rotating developing roller, on the surface of the developing roller at certain intervals parallel to the axis of stacked conductors and around the circumference of the roller with mixing relative to each other are fixed conductive elements connected to sources of different voltages th mixing, and the conductors are in sliding contact with the conductive elements, while at least
917713 4 at least part of the surface of the roller along its length is covered with resistive material.
In this case, the conductive elements are located on the ring resistive element mounted with the possibility of 5 sliding contact with the conductors, and each conductive element is in contact with at least one conductor ..
In FIG. 1 schematically shows an electric photographic photocopier, a general view of a sectional view; in FIG. 2 shows a developing roller, a part of the surface of which is coated with a resistive material; · in FIG. 3 - part of the developing roller, 15 cross-sectional view, ·· of FIG. 4 - developing roller in combination with an annular resistive element for connecting conductive elements disposed thereon with the conductors, by about 2 skolzya- conductive contact.
The electrographic apparatus contains an electrophotographic image carrier 1, made in the form of a drum coated with a photoconductor layer 25 2, a hopper 3 with a developer 4, which is added as a consumption by a dispenser 5, showing a roller 6, on the surface of which with a certain interval parallel to its axis 30 of the wife’s conductors 7, and around the circumference of the roller - conductive elements 8 located on the ring resistive element 9 installed by means of a sliding contact with the conductors 7. 35
A part of the surface of at least the developing roller 6 is coated with resistive material 10. A permanent magnet 11 is located inside the developing roller 6. The developing roller is adjacent to the developing zone 12.
Resistive material 10 has a high coefficient of friction, which allows the developing roller to efficiently transport the developing mixture 4. Resistive material 10 45 is a conductive rubber with a carbon black additive that provides a resistance of 1O 7 -10 ^ Ohm. The thickness of the resistive material is 0.254-0.635 mm. This material 10 provides not only a 50 to 50 coefficient of friction, but also the path of neutralizing currents necessary to neutralize the total charge of the developer when bends are removed from it. In the process, each— '. The 55th conductor 7 is an equipotential surface, and in the corresponding section of the resistive material 10 there is a potential difference caused by bias voltages that are applied to adjacent conductors.
In accordance with this, the interval between adjacent conductors 7 should be such a value as to exclude the possibility of the formation of an electric arc or dangerous local overheating of the resistive material 10 in the case of the greatest potential difference between adjacent conductors.
A part of each of the conductors 7 remains free of resistive material 10 to provide direct, direct contact with the stationary conductive elements 8. In this case, each stationary conductive element 8 has an overlap in the interval between adjacent conductors 7, so that each of the stationary conductive elements 8 interacts with at least one conductor 7.
In the case where the contact between the conductive elements 8 and the conductors 7 is established through the resistive element 9, the latter should be uniform and have a relatively low resistance, so that the bias voltage supplied to the conductors 7 is set essentially independently of the resistive material 10.
!
The device operates as follows.
The latent image obtained on the electrophotographic medium 1 of the image is essentially divided into sections having nominal potentials of approximately 800 and 200 V, respectively. Depending on this, the required bias voltage levels of the conductors 7 are determined in the areas of capture, capture, and after capture of the development zone 12. The conductors in the capture area at any given time should have a preferred bias voltage of 250-300 V, so that the possibility of the manifestation of white areas and not. has a significant impact on the process of manifestation of a latent image. Conductors 7 passing through the pre-gripping zone 6 during rotation of the developing roller 6 should be predominantly offset by a voltage of 100 V or close to it, whereby the developing mixture 4 is opened from the developing roller 6 and the developer 4 migrates to the developing zone 12. Conductors 7 which, when the developing roller 6 rotates below the developing zone 12, can undergo voltage displacement up to 1 ° C, whereby the particles of the 5 developing mixture 4 are attracted to the developing roller 6, which eliminates the unwanted emission of the bend cloud. The bias stresses change gradually and smoothly, which is provided by the 10 gradient of the voltage generated by the resistive material 10 and positively affects the quality of the manifestation.
