Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent spilling of a developer and damaging of a developing sleeve in the stage of exchanging a developing unit by providing such a door member which covers an aperture facing the surface of an image carrying body to the developing unit. CONSTITUTION:The operator turns the detaining member 7 of a retaining bar 6 in a clockwise direction against the energy of a spring 8 of said member and turns the bar 6 to spring up in a counterclockwise direction to release the retained developing unit 2 in order to take out the unit 2. When the operator takes out the unit 2 by lifting the same, the driven lever 2f of a door member 2 which is pressed by an actuating part 9 provided to the body of a copying achine is released and the bar 2f is turned counterclockwise by energy of a spring 2g, by which the member 2e is brought by a door member arm 2h to the position where the member covers an aperture. The member 2e closes eventually the aperture when the unit is taken out and therefore the spilling of the developer through the aperture is prevented.

An electrostatic recording device forms an electrostatic latent image on the surface of an image carrier having a surface layer such as a photoconductive photoreceptor or dielectric, and supplies a developer to the surface of the image carrier using a developing device to form the electrostatic latent image. The developed image is developed and recorded by transferring and fixing the developed image directly onto the surface of the image carrier or onto recording paper, etc., and the developing device is equipped with a developer replenisher to replenish the developer that is consumed during development. is attached. In many conventional electrostatic recording devices, the developer can be detachably attached to the main body of the recording device so that maintenance and inspection can be easily performed. It is being assembled.

However, in such an electrostatic recording device, 1. When the developing device is removed, there is a problem in that the developer spills from the connection part with the developer replenisher, causing stains inside the device. Therefore, for a developing device that uses a so-called component developer that does not contain a carrier and is mainly composed of magnetic toner, the developing device and the developer replenisher are formed into an integrated developing unit, and the developing unit is removably attached to the recording device. Electrostatic recording devices that can be attached to a main body are also known.

On the other hand, recently there has been a demand for electrostatic recording devices that can produce recorded images in various colors. The most suitable method for this purpose is an electrostatic recording device with replaceable development units, which uses developers of different colors for each development unit and allows you to easily obtain recorded images of different colors by replacing the development units. There is. For electrostatic recording devices that can obtain recorded images of different colors, it is necessary for the toner particles of the -component developer to contain a black or brown magnetic material, so that it is possible to obtain recorded images of clear colors. Therefore, a two-component developer consisting of toner particles and magnetic carrier particles, which does not need to contain such a magnetic material, is preferably used.

This developing unit 2 has a door member 2e that covers the frontage, and a lever frame 2 that is integrated with the member 2e.
The handle 2) is fed into the recording device on the rail 12 of the recording device main body in a substantially vertical state, and when it hits the handle 2, the protrusion on the lever frame 2 holds the recording device main body. By rotating the door member 2e clockwise until it is completely engaged with the groove 13, the door member 2e is rotated and retracted, and the lever frame 2k of the developing unit 2 is then moved into the engagement groove 13.
The developing sleeve 2a is moved to a predetermined position in the groove where it comes into contact with the driven gauge roller 14 on the recording apparatus main body side due to the reaction from the developing sleeve 2a, and is mounted in the recording apparatus. It is something that This developing unit 2
The recording apparatus cannot be pulled out from the recording apparatus main body unless the handle 2 is rotated counterclockwise to remove the protrusion on the lever frame 2 from the retaining groove 13 of the recording apparatus main body. When the handle 21 is rotated counterclockwise, the lever frame 2k and the door member 2e are also rotated counterclockwise, the door member 2e comes into contact with the protective stay 15, and the developing unit 2 is moved against the protective stay. 15 and retreated to the right, the lever frame 2k hits the restriction bin 2m provided on the side plate of the developing unit 2, and the door member 2e completely covers the opening and stops rotating. Then, by pulling the handle 2 in the axial direction, the developing unit 2 is pulled out from the recording apparatus main body. The spring 2g shown in FIGS. 6 to 8 is a biasing spring for stably maintaining the door member 2e in the opening position and the retracted position, respectively. It also provides the effect of facilitating the operation of moving in the direction perpendicular to the axis of No. 3.

The developing unit is detachably attached to a predetermined position on the image carrier, and
An electrostatic recording device characterized in that the electrostatic recording device is provided with a door member that covers an opening facing the image carrier surface of the developing device when the developing device is removed from a predetermined position. (2) The door member is biased to be displaced to the opening position, and when the developing unit is installed in the predetermined position, the door member resists the bias by the operating section of the recording apparatus main body. The electrostatic recording device according to claim 1, wherein the electrostatic recording device is retracted from the opening position. (5) the developing unit can be installed at the predetermined position by retracting the one member from the opening position;
2. The electrostatic recording apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the developing unit can be removed from the PJf fixed position by bringing the door member to the opening position.
