Usually in method for regeneration processing box of the present invention, before the water cleaning process, carry out the unloading process that a member body that will not clean takes off from the handle box that cleans target as water.If comprised a photoelectric photoreceptor, in unloading process, photoelectric photoreceptor will have been taken off from handle box at least so.Preferably various members are formed a whole as foregoing, and will not be that the member of shell takes off.That is to say that in handle box, shell may be unique member that will clean.In the box of combinations thereof, shell comprises a shell that therefrom takes out photoelectric photoreceptor, static member, developing device and cleaning element etc., and comprises toner storage enclosure (toner jar) and development shell or the like.These shells constitute as main constituent with plastics.Even the part of these shells has kept sponge type and metal types, also can not reduce the effect of cleaning.Therefore, in unloading process, these sponges and metal can be kept in position.
Then, clean by water, the handle box of cleaning part carries out the water cleaning process to having taken out not in unloading process.
The water that uses in the water cleaning process is unrestricted, and its example comprises: tap water, underground water, ion exchange water, pure water and high purity water.In order to improve cleaning performance, wherein can comprise the solvent of an amount of scaling agent, ethanol and so on.
The water that uses in the water cleaning process can only use once discharging then.Perhaps, in order to reduce water consumption and discharge capacity, can reclaim and circulate water, and in the water cleaning process, utilize again.Owing to be included in the cleaning process in the used water by cleaning the toner of removing from handle box, thereby be preferably in after the cleaning, no matter be under the situation of discharging or under the situation of recycling, carry out and once be used for the dried up detachment process with toner of branchs.Because toner normally is made of the main constituent (normally binding resin composition) of hydrophobicity thermoplastic resin conduct, so be easy to toner is separated from water.Can divide dried up and toner simply by the floating part of removing recycle-water, therefore, can easily from water, collect toner.In addition, in order to remove toner and other foreign matter, can filter at a filtrator.In addition, different with scaling agent, water purification is handled very simple.Therefore, water is friendly to environment, and processing cost is very low.
The scope of the temperature of the water that uses in the water cleaning process about 0 ℃ to 70 ℃.When water temperature was low, cleaning performance reduced.If water temperature is too high, mainly the member that is made of plastics will be out of shape.Therefore, the water temperature scope about 16 ℃ to 65 ℃ basically.The scope of water temperature can be about 30 ℃ to 65 ℃, or about 40 ℃ to 65 ℃.
Water cleaning process in the water cleaning step has no particular limits, and can use water spray cleaning process, ultrasonic cleaning process, surfactant process or the like.From the viewpoint of cleaning effect and device simplification and so on, the water spray cleaning process is reasonable.If used the water spray cleaning process, hydraulic pressure has no particular limits, but from cleaning performance, hydraulic pressure in fact should be about 196kPa to 980kPa (2kgf/cm 2To 10kgf/cm 2About).The scope of hydraulic pressure can be about 294kPa to 784kPa (about 3kgf/cm 2To 8kgf/cm 2), or (about 4kgf/cm about 3 92kPa to 588kPa 2To 6kgf/cm 2).
Water is normally by spraying from nozzle discharge.As long as can keep above-mentioned hydraulic pressure, the shape of discharging is unrestricted; Water can be point-blank or with radial injection.Considering that single nozzle ejection surface area is big and being ejected into mainly is that the water yield on the member of plastics is big, and injection can have radial shape.In addition, from the viewpoint of cleaning effect, can be unidirectional with conveying device or carry toward ground return and to spray water when mainly being the member of plastics.
