合があった。BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION A developer stirring device is provided in a developing device of a conventional electronic copying machine to uniformly stir newly replenished toner and developer. As the stirring device, an agitator having blades protruding radially is used. However, since this agitator is rotated at low speed or intermittently to agitate the developer, the flow of developer in the developing device is obstructed by the blades of this agitator, resulting in problems such as a shortage of developer on the developing roll side. .

剤を攪拌できるようにした複写機の現像剤攪拌装置。Structure of the Invention The agitator for stirring the developer housed in the housing of the developing device is composed of a rotating shaft and N stirring members protruding from the rotating shaft in the radial direction. A developer stirring device for a copying machine that can stir developer in a housing without interfering with the flow of the developer by rotating at a speed of 100/NrPL or higher.

In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a developing device provided in an electronic copying machine (not shown), and a developing roll 4 for developing an electrostatic latent image formed on the surface of a photoreceptor 3 is accommodated in the lower part of a housing 2.

転軸7aと。Above the developing roll 4, there is a trimmer 5 that keeps the developer adsorbed on the surface of the developing roll 4 uniform, and a scraper 6 that scrapes off the developer that has adhered to the surface of the developing roll 4.
An agitator 7 is also provided diagonally above the scraper 6. The agitator 7 has a rotating shaft 7a.

になっている。For example, two stirring members 7 are attached to this rotating shaft 7α.
It consists of b. The stirring members 7b are, for example, wires bent into a substantially U-shape, and the horizontal portions of each stirring member 7b are parallel to the axis of the rotating shaft 7α, and protrude in opposite directions from each other across the center of the rotating shaft 7α. The open end portion is fixed to the rotating shaft 7α with a fixing member 8 such as a screw. The agitator 7 is +00 when the number of stirring members 7b is N.
/N t7) It is designed to be rotated in the direction of the arrow at a speed of more than m.
なお攪拌部材7bの数は1個ないし複数個設けるものと
する。Note that the number of stirring members 7b is one or more.
発明の効果
この発明は以上詳述したように、ハウジング2内に収容

れを妨げることなく現像剤を攪拌することができる。Effects of the Invention As described in detail above, in the present invention, the agitator 7 for stirring the developer housed in the housing 2 has a rotating shaft 7a;
It is composed of N stirring members 7b made of wire or the like,
Since the agitator 7 is rotated at a speed of 100 rpm or more, the developer can be agitated without interfering with the flow of the developer within the housing 2.
これ虻よって新しい現像剤とスクレーパで掻き落された
現像剤とが速やかに混合できると共に。This allows the new developer and the developer scraped off by the scraper to be quickly mixed together.
常に十分な現像剤が現像ロニル4へ供給できることから
、現像剤の不足によって現像濃度が低下したり、現像不
良を起す虞れを未然に防止することができる。Since a sufficient amount of developer can always be supplied to the developer 4, it is possible to prevent the possibility that the development density will decrease or development defects will occur due to a shortage of developer.
なおアジチータフの回転数を100/Nrpm以上とし
たのは、これ以下では攪拌部材7bが現像剤の流れを妨
げるためである。The reason why the rotational speed of the agitator is set to 100/Nrpm or more is because if the rotational speed is lower than this, the stirring member 7b will obstruct the flow of the developer.
