A magnetic brush developing device is a non-magnetic sleeve in which a plurality of magnets are arranged, and a developer containing magnetic powder is adsorbed onto the circumferential surface of the sleeve, and the developer on the sleeve is transferred onto a latent image carrier at a development position. This is a device that rubs against the electrostatic latent image formed on the surface and develops it. The term "magnetic brush" refers to a state in which the developer on the non-magnetic sleeve described above is attracted by the magnetic force of a magnet disposed inside the sleeve and is made to stand on the sleeve in the form of a brush.

By the way, in the conventional magnetic brush developing device, for example, the first
As shown in the figure (1), a magnet roll (9) has a plurality of magnets (4) to (8) fixed around the roll shaft (3) via a retaining layer (2), and It consists of a rotatable non-magnetic sleeve (g) held at the top. However, in this developing device (1), the main developing magnet (6) of the magnet roll (9) is a single strong bar-shaped magnet, so the magnetic brush is not connected to the photosensitive drum (2).
) The bristles of the magnetic brush become hard at the stagnation part (end) that is formed before it is rubbed on the photosensitive drum (2), and the toner adhering to the static latent image on the photoreceptor drum (2) is scraped off by these hard bristles. This method has disadvantages in that the density of the formed image is low, the uniformity of the image is insufficient, and brush marks occur.

First, in the case of a composite magnet body in which a multi-pole magnetized composite magnet sheet (as shown in Fig. 2 (a)) is laminated and fixed on the entire surface of the main developing magnet (4), ) and the N pole of the main developing magnet (4) are added, and the S pole of the sheet surface and the N pole of the main developing magnet (4) are subtracted, as shown in Figure 8 (a). The magnetic flux density distribution rises to the right. In one experimental example, a magnetic flux density distribution curve as shown in FIG. 4(a) was obtained. Therefore, if such a combined magnet body is used as the main developing magnet, for example, a magnetic brush developing device in which the direction of movement of the surface of the latent image carrier (mainly the photoreceptor drum) and the direction of movement of the developer flow are opposite to each other. In the so-called stagnation area formed on the side where the developer flows into the developing position, the ridges of the magnetic brush rise more gently than in conventional magnetic brush developing devices, and the ears become soft.
Scraping off of toner adhering to the photoreceptor drum surface is reduced, and brush marks are improved. Moreover, the restorability of the magnetic brush is improved at the separation part between the latent image carrier and the magnetic brush on the opposite side of the stagnation part, and the linear density increases and the effective rubbing period increases, so the formed image density is lower than that of the conventional one. rise more.

The result will be as shown in Figure 3 (b). If such a combined magnet body is used as a main developing magnet, the ears of the magnetic brush will move from both shoulders to the center at the developing position, and the surface of the latent image carrier.
The phenomenon of scraping off the adhered toner is reduced, brush marks are improved, and the density of the formed image is also improved.

Furthermore, in the case of a combination magnet body in which a multi-polar magnetized composite magnet (see Fig. 2) is fixed in layers on the surface of the main developing magnet (4), the magnetic flux density distribution is as shown in Fig. 8. It becomes like (d). In one experimental example, the magnetic flux density distribution curve differs depending on the position in the length direction, as shown in FIG. 4(b). When such a combined magnet body is used as a main developing magnet, the ears of the magnetic brush at the developing position slide against the latent image carrier in a meandering curve as shown in FIG. As the amount of rubbing increases, the movement of the ears becomes more or less strong, causing a so-called stirring phenomenon. As a result, the density of the formed image is increased and brush marks are improved.

In this case, the stagnation part of the magnetic brush is formed by the N pole magnetized in a band shape at the left end of the surface of the composite magnet sheet member, and the ears of the magnetic brush are as shown in Fig. 5 (B).
Because of the behavior shown in , not only the density increase and brush marks of the formed image are improved, but also the uniformity of the formed image is particularly obtained.
