要がある。Conventional Structures and Their Problems In recent years, many small, low-cost copying machines have used organic photoconductors for photoreceptors in view of their cost and ease of manufacture. When using an organic photoconductor, the surface of the photoreceptor must be negatively charged in most cases. That is, it is necessary to apply a negative voltage to the corona discharger.

は、コロナ放電器に正の電圧を印加しても発生ずるが、
その景は負の電圧にくらべて約７分の１程度でありほと
んど問題とならない。This time order is the generation of ozone due to inelastic collisions between charged particles accelerated in a discharge field and oxygen molecules. Ozone is generated even when a positive voltage is applied to the corona discharger, but
The voltage is about one-seventh that of a negative voltage, so it hardly poses a problem.
しかし負の電圧を印加する場合、その量はかなり多肴で
あり、装置内で除去しなければならない。However, when applying a negative voltage, the amount is quite large and must be removed within the device.

増す必要がある。This ozone is harmful to the human body, so it is becoming compulsory to remove it.For example, if it is used continuously indoors at a certain capacity, the equipment will be removed! The situation has become such that the ozone concentration at a location 1130 crn away is less than 0.1 ppm. Generally, when a corona discharger is used to remove generated ozone, it is necessary to increase the contact time between the ozone and the ozone remover in order to effectively remove the ozone.

The temperature of the reflecting mirror 2 is raised by the radiant heat of the main exposure halogen lamp 1 during operation of the copying machine, and the temperature reaches around 90°C. As shown in Figure 1, ozone remover 5 is applied to areas of the reflector 2 that do not contribute to reflection.
Since the ozone remover 5 is also applied, the temperature of the ozone remover 5 is also raised at the same time. Reflector 1 of halogen lamp 15 for exposure after cutting
Since the ozone remover 17 is also applied to the ozone remover 6, the temperature of the ozone remover 17 is similarly raised. As mentioned above, the ozone removal efficiency of an ozone remover is generally temperature dependent, and the ozone adsorption efficiency increases as the temperature increases.On the other hand, in the three corona dischargers 6 and 10. Ozone raw exhaust generated during operation
1N, is forcibly sucked in as shown by the arrow by the Cotton 19, contacts the ozone removers 5 and 17 with increased ozone removal efficiency, and is exhausted to the outside of the apparatus after ozone is removed.
