Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide good picture quality without the need for providing a cleaner by providing a plurality of development portions, and providing the upstream development portions with enhanced recyclability of residual toner, and providing the downstream development portions with normal developing properties. CONSTITUTION:A photoreceptor 1 made of an optical conductor is uniformly and e.g. positively charged by a charger 2. Next, a laser beam 3 modulated based on image information is applied to form a negative electrostatic latent image. The electrostatic latent image is reversely developed using a toner 5 which is positively charged in a developing machine 4. The toner image 6 developed on the photoreceptor 1 is electrostatically transferred onto recording paper 8 using a transfer machine 7. After the transfer process the residual toner 10 is positively charged by the charger 2, together with the photoreceptor 1, because no cleaner 11 is provided. Developing conditions are set so that the residual toner 10 can be recycled in a sufficient amount on a first developing roller 41, and that a sufficient image concentration can be obtained on a second developing roller 42.

However, in the above-mentioned conventional example, it is difficult to completely satisfy both of them because recovery and development, which are properties opposite to each other, are performed simultaneously, and recovery of residual toner becomes insufficient. It has a drawback that good image quality cannot be maintained. It is also known that development and cleaning are alternately carried out by a developing machine every time the recording medium is rotated, but this method has a drawback that the printing speed is reduced by half.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows a first embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, a photoconductor 1 made of a photoconductor rotating clockwise is uniformly charged, for example, positively by a charger 2.
Next, the laser beam 3 modulated by the image information is irradiated to form a negative electrostatic latent image having a surface potential V 0 and a residual potential Vr. The electrostatic latent image is reversely developed by the positively charged toner 5 of the developing device 4. The toner image 6 formed on the photoconductor 1 is electrostatically transferred onto the recording paper 8 by the transfer device 7.
The residual charge on the surface of the photoconductor 1 is erased by the eraser 9.
The toner image on the recording paper 8 is thermally fixed by the fixing device 12. In the usual electrophotographic method, the residual toner 10 is removed by the cleaner 11 surrounded by a broken line. However, in the present invention, the cleaner 11 is not installed, and the residual toner 10 remains on the surface of the photoconductor 1 in the next printing process. After being charged and exposed, it is sent to the development section. The developing machine 4 has a first developing roll 41
And the second developing roll 42, and the first developing roll 41
A first bias voltage 410 of Vb 1 is applied to the second developing roller 42 and a second bias voltage 420 of Vb 2 is applied to the second developing roll 42. Vb 1 is set lower than Vb 2 .

FIG. 2 illustrates the surface potential V 0 , the residual potential Vr, the bias voltage Vb, the developing property and the residual toner collecting property. The horizontal axis represents the position in the circumferential direction on the photoconductor 1, and the vertical axis represents the magnitude of the potential. A negative electrostatic latent image having a surface potential V 0 and a residual potential Vr is formed on the photoconductor 1. A bias voltage of Vb intermediate between V 0 and Vr indicated by the broken line is applied to the developing device 4. The larger (Vb-Vr), the higher the developing ability. The residual toner 10 after the transfer process is positively charged together with the photoconductor 1 by the charger 2 without the cleaner 11. Only the residual toner 10 attached to the non-image portion of the photoconductor 1, that is, the unexposed portion of the surface potential V 0 appears as an image defect in the next printing. Since the residual toner 10 is positively charged and adheres to the photoconductor 1, the developing force is increased as the bias voltage Vb lower than the surface potential V 0, that is, the direction of the developing device 4 (V 0 −Vb) is increased during development. The ability of the machine 4 to collect the residual toner 10 is increased.

The first bias voltage 410 of Vb 1 is set to V
By setting the bias voltage to be lower than the second bias voltage 420 that is b 2, the recovery capacity of the residual toner 10 is higher in the first developing roller 41 than in the second developing roller 42.
The developing conditions are set so that the first developing roll 41 can sufficiently collect the residual toner 10 and the second developing roll 42 can obtain a sufficient image density. For example,
When the surface potential V 0 is 600 V and the residual potential Vr is 100 V, the first bias voltage Vb 1 may be set to 50 V and the second bias voltage Vb 2 may be set to 400 V. At this time, since Vb 1 is lower than Vr, there is almost no developing ability by the first developing roll 41 and the first developing roll 4
Reference numeral 1 serves exclusively as a mechanism for collecting the residual toner 10. As described above, when the first developing roll 41 is exclusively used as the mechanism for collecting the residual toner 10, the first bias voltage Vb 1 can be set to the ground potential or a negative potential.

FIG. 4 shows a third embodiment of the present invention. If two developing rolls are used as in the first and second embodiments, it is difficult to construct a compact recording device. For this reason, the two developing parts were integrated into one developing machine. The developing roll 43 includes a magnetic roll 430 and a sleeve 431. The magnetic roll 430 is magnetized in an 8-pole symmetry and rotates counterclockwise to convey the developer 51 clockwise. A collecting electrode 433 and a developing electrode 434 are provided at a developing portion position of the sleeve 431 through an insulating film 432. The recovery electrode 433 is applied with the same 50 V as the first bias voltage Vb 1 shown in the first embodiment, and the development electrode 434 is applied with the same 400 V as the second bias voltage Vb 2 .
The residual toner 10 is collected by the electric field of the collecting electrode 433, while the electrostatic latent image formed on the photoconductor 1 is developed by the electric field of the developing electrode 434. FIG. 5 shows a fourth embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. The difference from the embodiment shown in FIG. 4 is that the recovery electrode 433 is eliminated and the sleeve 431 is omitted.
The recovery bias voltage 435 is applied to. That is, the sleeve 431 is used instead of the recovery electrode 433. The residual toner 10 is recovered by applying 50 V to the recovery bias voltage 435. According to this embodiment, there is an effect that the structure on the sleeve 431 is simplified. In this embodiment, the sleeve 431 is connected to the recovery electrode 433.
However, the sleeve 431 may be used instead of the developing electrode 434 by leaving the collecting electrode 433 and eliminating the developing electrode 434. In this case, the sleeve 431 has, for example, the same bias as the second bias voltage Vb 2 of 400
Apply V.

FIG. 6 shows a fifth embodiment of the present invention. The difference from the embodiment shown in FIG. 5 is that the portion of the sleeve 431 facing the photoconductor 1 is flatly deformed to increase the region where the gap between the sleeve 431 and the photoconductor 1 is narrow. According to the present embodiment, the electric field strength created by the photoconductor 1 and the developing electrode 434 and the sleeve 431 can be increased, so that the collection efficiency of the residual toner 10 and the developing performance can be increased.

FIG. 7 shows a sixth embodiment of the present invention. Unlike the embodiment shown in FIGS. 4, 5 and 6,
The magnetic roll 430 is fixed and the sleeve 431 is rotated counterclockwise for development. A scraper 436 is provided in the vicinity of the sleeve 431 and on the upstream side of the developing unit, and the developer 51 conveyed in the counterclockwise direction is scraped from the sleeve 431 and sent to the developing unit. The scraper 436 plays the role of the collecting electrode 433, and applies a voltage similar to the first bias voltage Vb 1 shown in the first embodiment, for example, 50V,
Further, the sleeve 431 plays the role of the developing electrode 434, and applies a voltage similar to the second bias voltage Vb 2 such as 400V. According to this embodiment, since the developer is conveyed by rotating the sleeve, there is an effect that the conveyability is improved as compared with the rotation of the magnetic roll and high speed printing can be supported. Although the scraper 436 plays the role of the recovery electrode 433 in this embodiment, the scraper 436 may be provided on the downstream side of the developing unit and the scraper 436 may be used instead of the developing electrode 434. In this case, the scraper 436 has the same voltage as the second bias voltage Vb 2 , for example, 400V.
Of the first bias voltage Vb is applied to the sleeve 431.
A voltage similar to 1 is applied, for example, 50V.
