Abstract

PURPOSE:To measure the density of a toner without disturbing the flow of a developer and to enable measurement in the place nearest the developing position by regulating the thickness of the developer on a developing roller and measuring the density from the change in the magnetic permeability of the developer. CONSTITUTION:A density measuring part 34 regulates the thickness of the developer 32 on a developing roller 33 and has internally a magnetic circuit 41 for measurement and a magnetic circuit 43 for comparison. Said part is molded of a molding material consisting of a nonmagnetic material such as an ABS resin or the like. The circuit 43 can be matched with the magnetic resistance of the circuit 41 by the movement of a member 46 for adjusting magnetic resistance. The output of the coil 52 of the circuit 41 is made zero and no signal is outputted so that a driving part 67 is held stopped if the density of the developer 32 is adequate or high. When the density of the developer 32 is low, a signal is obtd. from the coil 52 and the signal meeting the phase difference is outputted from a phase detector 64.

Generally, in an electrophotographic printer that uses a powder developer made from l-toner and carrier, the amount of toner decreases during development, but the amount of carrier does not decrease. Therefore, in order to perform accurate copying with a constant density, it is necessary to maintain the toner density within the developing device at a constant constant value. To do this, it is necessary to measure the component ratio in the developer and operate a mechanism for controlling the component ratio. Examples of this measuring device include those that measure the density of a metal roller or the like while constantly developing the roller, those that measure the weight of a developer layer, and those that measure changes in the magnetic permeability of the developer. In this,
8'I, which measures toner concentration by magnetic permeability υ on the image side, had no moving parts and was the easiest to measure. However, in such an apparatus, it is difficult to constantly and uniformly flow the developer into the density measuring section, resulting in measurement errors. This is because the measuring section of the density measuring device is shaped so as to protrude from the circuit section, which disturbs the flow of the developer and makes it difficult to ensure a constant flow.

The position of the camera is adjusted in advance. Therefore, the coil 52 generates an output having a phase opposite to the input voltage waveform in accordance with an increase or decrease in the toner concentration of the developer 32.

Next, the operation in such a configuration will be explained. For example, when the photoreceptor drum 10 on which an electrostatic latent image is formed rotates in the direction of arrow a, and the developing roller 33 rotates in the direction of the arrow, the developer 32 is attracted to the surface of the developing roller 33, and the developing agent 32 is attracted to the surface of the developing roller 33. - It moves in the direction of the arrow along with the arrow 33. As a result, the developer 32 on the developing row 233 is regulated to a thickness suitable for development by the density measuring section 34, and comes into sliding contact with the photoreceptor drum 10 to complete the development (10-). The developer 32 adsorbed by the developing roller 33 is collected into the housing 31, sufficiently stirred by the stirring roller 35, and then used for development again.

By the way, the developer 32 adsorbed on the visual image roller 33 is measured by the density measuring section 3a. That is, when the concentration of the developer 32 is appropriate or high, the measuring magnetic circuit 41 outputs no signal from the coil 52, no signal is output from the multiphase detector 64, and the drive section 67 remains stopped. It becomes. Also, when the concentration of the developer 32 is low, the coil 5
Two or more signals are obtained, and the phase detector 64 outputs a signal according to the phase difference. Accordingly, the signal is amplified by the differential amplifier 65 and supplied to the drive section 67. Therefore, the driving unit 67 supplies the toner 39 in the toner supply box 38 into the housing 31 by rotating the toner supply roller 40 .
