Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a toner container in which the removal of toner sticking to the shoulder of a container main body is easy when it is washed by an air wash method by specifying a ratio between the diameter of a toner discharge opening and the diameter of the container main body. SOLUTION: A helical projection 4 is formed on the inner circumferential surface of the container main body 2, and by rotating the toner container 1 around its axial line, toner stored in the toner container 1 is sent out to the toner discharge opening 3 along the helical projection 4. Because the toner discharge opening 3 is situated in the middle of the container main body 2 and its diameter is smaller than that of the container main body 2, the toner is ejected by being lifted to the toner discharge opening 3. For the reason, two shoulders 5 are provided near the toner discharge opening 3 of the container main body 2, and a pushing-out part for lifting the toner is formed between the large-diameter part of the container main body 2 and the shoulders 5. Therefore, the diameter of the container main body 2 is set larger than the diameter of the toner discharge opening 3, and the diameter of the container main body 2 is set four or less times smaller than the diameter of the toner discharge opening 3.

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, there has been a demand for the recycling of previously disposable items due to effective use of resources and protection of the natural environment. The image forming apparatus using the electrophotographic method is no exception, and the toner container can be recycled. When recycling the toner container,
There are two types of recycling: reusing recycled toner by filling the collected container with toner again, and reusing recycling by crushing and recycling the collected container to use the material. The toner must be cleaned. If there is toner remaining in the container in recycling for reuse, the toner is aggregated and reaches the developing unit, and there is a problem that a so-called firefly solid image has an abnormal image of white spots. Further, in recycling for reuse, there is a problem that the characteristics of the regenerated material change depending on the presence or absence of the toner remaining in the container, and further, the color of the toner, for example, black is mixed and the white material becomes gray.

1 and 2, a toner container 1 has a cylindrical container main body 2 and a toner discharge port 3 provided at the center of one end of the container main body 2. The axes of the unit 2 and the toner discharge port 3 are aligned. A spiral projection 4 formed in a spiral shape is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the container main body 2. When the toner container 1 is rotated around its axis, the toner contained in the toner container 1 is spirally formed. The toner is gradually sent out to the toner ejection port 3 side along the protrusion 4. At this time, since the toner discharge port 3 is located at the center of the container main body 2 and its diameter is smaller than the diameter of the container main body 2, the toner is lifted up to the toner discharge port 3 and discharged. For this reason, in this example, two shoulders 5 are provided near the toner discharge port 3 of the container main body 2, and between the large-diameter portion and the shoulder 5 of the container main body 2, an approach for toner lifting is provided. An extension 6 is formed. On the outer upper surface of the shoulder 5, a projection 7 is formed,
When the projection 7 is engaged with a gear ring (not shown) rotated by a driving device (not shown), the toner container 1 is rotated around its axis.

The toner container 1 is made of plastic, for example, hard polyethylene by blow molding, and is a component that can be sufficiently recycled. When the toner container 1 is recycled, it is required to remove the residual toner in the toner container 1, and it is desired that the toner container 1 be cleaned as simply and as quickly as possible. For this reason, there are various methods for cleaning the toner container 1. However, there are few cleaning methods that satisfy the above demands and do not require large-scale equipment. As one of the small cleaning methods, there is an air cleaning proposed by the present applicant, and this method will be described with reference to FIG.

In FIG. 3, the air cleaning method is shown in FIG.
A first step of using the direct injection type nozzle 10 shown in FIG. 3A and the suction nozzle 11 shown in FIG.
The second step includes the reverse direct injection type nozzle 12 shown in FIG. 3C and the intake nozzle 11 shown in FIG. 3B. In the first step, the toner adhering to the bottle container is blown up by the injection of air from the direct injection type nozzle 10, and the toner is sucked by the intake nozzle 11 before the toner re-adheres to the container. However, it is difficult for the direct injection type nozzle 10 to sufficiently remove the toner from the shoulder portion 5 and the protruding portion 6, and in the second step, the toner from the portion is separated from the bottle container by air from the reverse direct injection type nozzle 12, The air is sucked by the suction nozzle 11.

In the air cleaning method configured as described above, the amount of toner remaining after cleaning can be reduced. However, as shown in FIG. 5, from the bottom of the bottle container to one spiral-shaped pitch portion, the shoulder portion 5 and the protruding portion 6. Is difficult to remove. Therefore, it is difficult to completely eliminate the residual toner by one washing, and good washing can be obtained by repeating the first step and the second step several times. However, we want to keep the number of repetitions as low as possible. Then, the present inventor conducted an experiment on the cleanability with various toner containers 1 and found that the shape of the toner container 1 greatly affected the cleanability. In particular, it was found from experiments that the ratio of the diameter of the toner discharge port 3 to the diameter of the container body 2 affected the cleaning performance of the shoulder portion 5 and the protruding portion 6 from which toner could not be easily removed.

FIG. 4 is a graph showing the relationship between the ratio of the diameter of the toner discharge port 3 to the diameter of the container body 2 and the cleaning ranking of the shoulder 5 and the protrusion 6. The cleaning ranking 5 ranks the toner 5 in the vicinity of the shoulder 5 and the bulging portion 6 when the cleaning is performed under a certain condition. That is, in the cleaning rank 5, the toner adhesion was almost eliminated by the cleaning under a certain condition. At cleaning rank 4, slight toner adhesion remained, and at cleaning rank 3, some toner adhesion remained. When the cleaning rank reaches 2, the toner adhesion becomes conspicuous, and the cleaning rank 1
Then, a considerable amount of toner remained. With the cleaning ranks thus ranked, it was found that if the rank was 3 or more, the number of repetitions of the cleaning process was relatively small. That is, it was found that if the cleaning rank was less than 3, the number of repetitions of air cleaning had to be increased, the cleaning performance was poor, and there was a problem in that the cost for cleaning was increased in recycling. In the toner container 1, the ratio of the diameter of the toner discharge port 3 to the diameter of the container body 2 is 1,
Using 2, 3, 4 and 5, cleaning ranks were examined.

As a result, as is apparent from the graph of FIG. 4, in order to obtain a cleaning rank of 3 or more, the ratio of the diameter of the toner discharge port 3 to the diameter of the container body 2 may be set up to 1: 4. There was found. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 1, when the diameter of the container main body 2 is L1 and the diameter of the toner discharge port 3 is L2, L1 <(4 × L2). To clean the adhered toner.

In consideration of cleanability, it is most preferable that the diameter of the toner discharge port 3 and the diameter of the container main body 2 are 1: 1 and the same diameter. If the toner supply amount from the toner container 2 becomes too large, or if the capacity of the toner container 1 is to be ensured to some extent, the cap diameter of the toner discharge port 3 becomes large in accordance with the diameter of the container main body 2. There is a problem that the accuracy must be increased.
