Description

一种动力传递机构及包含该机构的处理盒 技术领域
本发明涉及一种图像形成装置, 如激光打印机、 复印机等, 尤其涉及用于图像形成装 置上的动力传递机构及采用该机构的处理盒。 背景技术
现有图像形成装置上设置有马达、 图像形成装置驱动头和处理盒, 处理盒可拆卸地安 装在图像形成装置中, 处理盒上设置有感光鼓;书在图像形成装置工作过程中, 马达产生动 力, 并通过图像形成装置驱动头将动力传递给处理盒, 使处理盒上的感光鼓旋转。
如图 1、 2所示, 感光鼓 7的一端固定地设置有动力传递机构, 该动力传递机构包括鼓 轴 17, 该鼓轴 17上设置有扭曲形突起 17a, 突起 17a包括末端部 17al ; 鼓轴 17的旋转中 心与感光鼓 7的旋转中心重合; 图像形成装置驱动头 18上包括扭曲形凹槽 18a, 凹槽 18a 上设置有底面 18a2。
在图像形成装置工作过程中, 图像形成装置驱动头 18接受来自马达的动力旋转, 鼓轴 17与图像形成装置驱动头 18啮合, 旋转动力通过图像形成装置驱动头 18传递给鼓轴 17, 并最终使感光鼓 7旋转。当鼓轴 17与图像形成装置驱动头 18啮合时, 鼓轴 17上的扭曲形 突起 17a***图像形成装置驱动头 18上的扭曲形凹槽 18a内, 末端面 17al与底面 18a2 正对,图像形成装置驱动头 18上的旋转动力通过扭曲突起 17a与凹槽 18a的啮合传递给鼓 轴 17。
如图 3、 4所示分别为扭曲形突起 17a与扭曲形凹槽 18a不旋转和旋转时的截面状态示 意图; 由图可知, 扭曲形突起 17a与扭曲形凹槽 18a的截面均为三角形 (如等边三角形), 且三角形突起 17a的尺寸小于三角形凹槽 18a的尺寸。 如图 3所示, 当突起 17a***到凹 槽 18a内但不随凹槽 18a旋转时,感光鼓上的鼓轴旋转轴 XI与图像形成装置驱动头的旋转 轴 X2不重合。如图 4所示, 当突起 17a与凹槽 18a啮合并随凹槽 18a旋转时, 三角形突起 17a的三个顶角 17a2与凹槽 18a上三角形的三条棱边啮合, 并从凹槽 18a上传递动力给突 起 17a; 此时, 感光鼓上的鼓轴旋转轴 XI与图像形成装置驱动头的旋转轴 X2重合, 保证 扭曲形突起 17a与扭曲形凹槽 18a在工作过程中传动平稳; 图中, R0为突起 17a三个顶角 17a2的旋转圆直径, R1为三角形凹槽 18a的内切圆直径, R2为凹槽 18a的三个顶角旋转 圆直径, 为实现突起 17a与图像形成装置驱动头 18a的动力传递, R0、 Rl、 R2需满足以下 条件: R1〈R0〈R2。
如图 5所示为现有技术另一种实施例, 该实施例中扭曲形突起 17a和扭曲形凹槽 18a 均为四边形 (如正四边形), 四边形突起 17a与四边形凹槽 18a啮合, 并传递动力。
现有技术中图像形成装置驱动头还可以采用如图 6所示方式; 如图 6所示, 图像形成 装置驱动头 28的一端设置有扭曲形凹槽 28a,凹槽 28a上设置有底面 28al和支撑突起 28a2, 支撑突起 28a2位于扭曲三角形凹槽 28a的中心 (支撑柱突起 28a2的旋转中心与图像形成 装置驱动头的旋转轴 X2重合), 其高度与凹槽 28a的深度基本相同, 所述支撑柱可以是锥 形。
现有图像形成装置上使用的一种处理盒上普遍使用到上述带有动力传递机构的感光 鼓, 所述处理盒上至少包括: 用于形成静电潜像的、 带有上述动力传递机构的感光鼓, 将 所述静电潜象显影的显影剂和将所述显影剂传送给感光鼓的显影辊。 所述处理盒安装到图 像形成装置上使用时, 通过上述图像形成装置驱动头接收来自图像形成装置上来自马达的 旋转动力, 使所述感光鼓和显影辊旋转。
现有技术的这种动力传递结构存在以下缺点:
1.扭曲形突起与扭曲形凹槽啮合时, 突起和凹槽上扭曲面的扭曲角度精度要求较高。 当突起上的扭曲面与凹槽上的扭曲面因制造精度问题而产生扭曲角度不一致时, 突起上的 扭曲面与凹槽上的扭曲面就产生点对面接触, 其中之一的扭曲面在突起与凹槽的啮合过程 中就会发生变形, 从而造成感光鼓上的鼓轴旋转轴 XI与图像形成装置驱动头的旋转轴 X2 不重合, 影响动力传递的平稳性; 为避免上述问题, 就要求突起和凹槽的扭曲面制造精度 很高, 这样增加了生产制造成本, 同时带来生产制造困难等问题。
2.突起与凹槽的多边形形状难以加工, 对突起和凹槽的制造精度要求较高。 以等边三 角形为例, 等边三角形突起与凹槽的精度要求较高, 才能保证三角形中心位置的精度, 否 则在突起与凹槽啮合时感光鼓上的鼓轴旋转轴 XI与图像形成装置驱动头的旋转轴 X2就会 发生不重合现象, 从而造成传动不平稳; 另外, 在突起与凹槽的啮合过程中, 突起上三角 形的顶角因要传递动力, 因此容易因受力而发生变形, 长期工作易受到磨损或破坏; 而三 角形的三个顶角在工作过程中, 同时起到受力旋转和支撑定位作用, 因此磨损或破坏后的 三角形在与凹槽的啮合过程中,易产生中心 XI、 X2不重合的现象,从而影响传动的平稳性, 因此为保证传动的精度和平稳性, 对三角形突起的材料硬度和耐磨性要求较高; 同样的, 三角形凹槽的棱边上、 与突起的三个顶角接触的位置在工作过程中也易受到破坏或磨损, 对三角形凹槽的硬度和耐磨性同样要求较高。 发明内容 本发明提供一种动力传递机构, 以解决现有动力传递机构因受力机构在与凹槽啮合过 程中因压力过大受到磨损而影响啮合突起与凹槽啮合的技术问题。
为了解决上述问题, 本发明采取的技术方案是:

所述两个凸齿间最小夹角为 120° , 所述夹角的制造精度上限公差为 2-10° 。
所述夹角的制造精度上限公差为 2-4° 。
所述凸齿还包括两个与所述支撑圆盘相连的两个互相平行的平面, 所述啮合面与所述 两个平行平面成一个夹角。
所述啮合面的斜边与感光鼓轴线间的夹角为 5-50° 。
所述啮合面的斜边与感光鼓轴线间的夹角为 10-40° 。
所述啮合面包括两条直边, 所述直边与所述感光鼓驱动头中心到所述凸齿的顶角的连 线间的夹角为 0-90° 。
所述直边与所述感光鼓驱动头中心到所述凸齿的顶角的连线间的夹角为 25-45 ° 。 所述啮合面的面积为 5_20mm2
所述啮合面的面积为 7_16mm2
所述限位机构包括设置于突起上位于鼓轴的中轴线位置处的支撑孔和设置于凹槽内的 中轴线位置处与所述限位孔相匹配的支撑突起。
所述突起上设置有支撑圆盘和两个突柱, 所述突柱对称分布在所述突起的两侧, 其中 第一突柱为与所述动力传输部啮合的凸齿, 第二突柱与所述凹槽内壁接触, 所述受力机构 为第一突柱, 所述限位机构包括支撑圆盘和第二突柱。
一种处理盒, 包括感光鼓, 还包括上述动力传递机构, 所述动力传递机构设置在感光 鼓端部。
在采用了上述技术方案后, 由于限位机构与所述受力机构位于不同的位置处。 限位机 构不会因为受力机构在与凹槽啮合过程中因压力过大而影响啮合时旋转中心的重合, 解决 了现有动力传递机构因受力机构在与凹槽啮合过程中因压力过大受到磨损而影响啮合突起 与凹槽啮合的技术问题。且由于凸齿有两个,分别与三个顶角的动力传输部中的两个动力传 输部相匹配, 减小了图像形成装置驱动头与感光鼓驱动头在各定位点处的作用力, 进而减 少图像形成装置驱动头和感光鼓驱动头产生磨损, 解决了因磨损而导致图像形成装置驱动 头和感光鼓驱动头轴中心不重合影响定位的技术问题。
上述技术方案还具有以下优点:
1. 同一种结构的突起可与多种不同形状的凹槽啮合, 实现动力的传递;
2. 设置成上述形状后, 突起更易于加工, 对制造精度要求更低;
3. 突起上的支撑点和受力点分开,突起上的支撑点不会因为突起上的受力点在与凹槽 啮合过程中因压力过大而影响啮合时旋转中心 XI、 X2的重合;
4. 突起与凹槽可设置成锥形, 使得突起更易***到凹槽中;
5. 将上述突起上的凸齿倾斜地设置在支撑圆盘上,能够防止在动力传递过程中感光鼓 驱动头从图像形成装置驱动头中脱出,使图像形成装置驱动头与感光鼓驱动头间稳 定的传递动力;

图 9为感光鼓驱动头与图像形成装置驱动头啮合前的立体示意图, 由图知, 感光鼓驱 动头包括: 设置在感光鼓 7端部的鼓凸缘 26, 从鼓凸缘 26端部轴向伸出、 用于在处理盒 工作过程中可旋转地支撑感光鼓 7的鼓轴 27和非扭曲形突起 27a, 非扭曲突起 27a上设置 有支撑圆盘 27a2和凸齿 27al,本实施例中,支撑圆盘 27a2和凸齿 27al分别作为所述动力 传递机构的限位机构和受力机构。非扭曲形突起 27a可与扭曲形凹槽 18a啮合, 当突起 27a 上的凸齿 27al和支撑圆盘 27a2***凹槽 18a内时, 突起 27a与凹槽 18a啮合并接收来自 凹槽 18a上的旋转驱动力; 因此, 当图像形成装置上的马达转动时, 马达将动力传输给图 像形成装置驱动头 18, 感光鼓驱动头通过非扭曲形突起 27a与扭曲形凹槽 18a的啮合将动 力传递给感光鼓驱动头, 最终使感光鼓 7旋转。 扭曲形凹槽 18a的截面形状为三角形 (以 等边三角形为例)。
图 10a所示为非扭曲形突起 27a与扭曲形凹槽 18a啮合时的截面示意图, 由图可知, 在非扭曲形突起 27a与扭曲形凹槽 18a啮合时, 非扭曲突起 27a上的支撑圆盘 27a2与凹槽 18a的三条棱边相切, 以保证突起 27a与凹槽 18a的中心定位准确, 此时非扭曲形突起 27a 的旋转轴 XI与扭曲形凹槽 18a的旋转轴 X2重合, 保证了非扭曲形突起 27a与扭曲形凹槽 18a啮合平稳。
非扭曲形突起 27a上的凸齿 27al,在非扭曲形突起 27a与扭曲形凹槽 18a啮合过程中, 与动力传输部 18b啮合接收旋转动力, 使突起 27a随凹槽 18a旋转。
在凸齿 27al与动力传输部 18b啮合过程中, 凸齿 27al易受到凹槽 18a的压力而变形; 将用于传递旋转动力的凸齿 27al和用于使突起 27a定位准确的支撑圆盘 27a2分开设置, 可避免支撑圆盘 27a2在非扭曲形突起 27a旋转过程中受到凸齿 27al的影响, 使突起 27a 的定位更准确,而最终避免非扭曲形突起 27a在与扭曲形凹槽 18a啮合过程中工作不平稳。
为使突起 27a更容易***到凹槽 18a中,突起 27a上的凸齿 27al和支撑圆盘 27a2可制 作成锥形; 如图 10b所示, 突起顶面 27a3 (图中虚线表示) 为鼓轴 27上距离感光鼓中心 最远处的平面 (即在突起 27a***凹槽 18a内时, 顶面 27a3最先进去凹槽 18a中), 突起 啮合面 27a4 (图中实线表示)为突起 27a上与凹槽 18a三条棱边相切处的截面; 由图可知, 顶面 27a3的尺寸小于啮合面 27a4上相应的尺寸, 因此在非扭曲形突起 27a与扭曲形凹槽 18a啮合时, 顶面 27a3较容易***到凹槽 18a中; 由于突起 27a为锥形, 因此在顶面 27a3 ***凹槽 18a中后,突起 27a的其它截面深入到凹槽 18a内部,直至啮合面 27a4与凹槽 18a 相切, 此时非扭曲形突起 27a的旋转轴 XI与扭曲形凹槽 18a的旋转轴 X2重合。
如图 10b所示, 由于凹槽 18a为扭曲形状, 因此凹槽顶面 18al (图中实线表示) 与凹 槽底面 18a2 (图中虚线表示) 不重合; 为保证非扭曲形突起 27a***到扭曲形凹槽 18a的 深度较大, 突起 27a上的凸齿 27al的宽度需设定在一定范围内; 要使非扭曲形突起 27a深 入到扭曲形凹槽 18a内部, 凸齿 27al的宽度需小于或等于凹槽顶面 18al与凹槽底面 18a2 的重合区域的宽度, 这样凸齿 27al可较容易地***到凹槽 18a中, 并与凹槽 18a啮合面积 达到最大; 由于凸齿 27al的宽度比凹槽顶面 18al的宽度小, 因此凸齿 27al在与凹槽顶面 18al啮合时更方便, 凸齿 27al能更容易的***到凹槽 18a中。
本实施例中的所述支撑圆盘采用圆形结构, 普通技术人员很容易能想到, 圆形结构的 圆盘更易于加工, 且更容易满足制造精度要求; 当利用车床等加工工具将圆形的圆盘制作 完成后, 在圆形的圆盘上利用铣床等工具开设键槽, 将满足尺寸要求的普通平键或者半圆 键等安装到所述键槽中, 即可完成本实施例中突起的制造。 实施例二:
如图 11所示, 为加大凸齿 27al'与凹槽 18a的接触面积, 减少凸齿 27al'上因局部压力 过大而产生变形, 凸齿 27al'上与凹槽 18a棱边的接触部分设置为斜面,且该斜面的斜度与 凹槽棱边的斜度基本相同。 实施例三:
如图 12a所示, 凹槽 18a'为正四边形, 支撑圆盘 27a2与凹槽 18a'的四条棱边啮合, 保 证突起 27a与凹槽 18a'的中心重合; 凸齿 27al在凹槽 18a'内与凹槽的一条棱边啮合, 从凹 槽 18a'上传递动力。
如图 12b所示, 凹槽 18a"为正五边形, 支撑圆盘 27a2与凹槽 18a"的五条棱边啮合; 凸齿 27al在凹槽 18a"内与凹槽的一条棱边啮合, 从凹槽 18a"上传递动力。
由此可以看出, 同一种结构的突起可用于不同形状的凹槽中。 实施例四:
如图 13a、 13b所示, 与实施例一相比, 非扭曲形突起 37a (图中实线表示) 相对于实 施例一中采用的突起 27a (图中虚线表示), 在形状上有所变化。 如图 13a所示为非扭曲形突起 37a与扭曲形凹槽 18a啮合时的截面示意图; 非扭曲形 突起 37a包括两个突柱和支撑圆盘 37a2, 其中第一突柱为凸齿 37al, 第二突柱为支撑柱 37a3 ; 本实施例中, 支撑圆盘 37a2和支撑柱 37a3作为所述动力传递机构的限位机构; 当 非扭曲形突起 37a与扭曲形凹槽 18a啮合时, 支撑圆盘 37a2与扭曲形凹槽 18a上的两条棱 边啮合,扭曲形凹槽 18a上的另一条棱边与支撑柱 37a3啮合;支撑圆盘 37a2和支撑柱 37a3 在与扭曲形凹槽 18a上的棱边啮合时, 保证非扭曲形突起 27a的旋转轴 XI与扭曲形凹槽 18a的旋转轴 X2重合, 使非扭曲形突起 37a与扭曲形凹槽 18a之间的传动平稳。
凸齿 37al与凹槽 18a上的任意一个动力传输部 18b啮合,将凹槽 18a上的旋转动力传 递给突起 37a, 使得突起 37a随凹槽 27a旋转。
支撑圆盘 37a2为圆形, 其圆心为 X3, 支撑柱 37a3与凸齿 37al相对中心点 X3对称设 置,且支撑柱 37a3上最高点到支撑圆盘 37a2的距离与凸齿 37al上最高点到支撑圆盘 37a2 的距离相等 (即高度相等)、 支撑柱 37a3的宽度与凸齿 37al的宽度相等。
与实施例一相似的, 突起 37a可制作成锥形的, 以便在突起 37a的工作过程中能更好 地***凹槽 18a中。
如图 13b所示,扭曲形凹槽 18a包括凹槽顶面 18al和凹槽底面 18a2,为使非扭曲形突 起 37a能***到凹槽 18a的底面 18a2,以便能更好地与凹槽啮合,突起 37a上的凸齿 37al、 支撑圆盘 37a2、 支撑柱 37a3的宽度须设置成小于或等于凹槽顶面 18al与凹槽底面 18a2 的重合区域的宽度。
与实施例一相比,支撑柱 37a3与凹槽 18a上棱边的接触面积更大,这样可以使突起 37a 与凹槽 18a啮合时更加紧密, 传动更平稳。
突起的制作过程可以是, 先将圆形的支撑圆盘 37a2利用车床等工具制作出来, 然后在 圆盘上对称地开设两个键槽,将平键对应地安装到相应键槽中以形成支撑柱与凸齿; 这样, 突起的制作就变得简单, 精度更容易满足要求。
其它与实施例一相同的结构特征或技术效果 (例如将突起制作成锥形、 突起可与多种 不同形状的凹槽啮合等), 在此不再重复描述。 实施例五:
如图 14a所示为本发明第五种实施例; 本实施例中, 非扭曲形突起采用四边形形状, 如图 14a所示, 非扭曲形突起 47a为四边形, 本实施例中以正四边形为例; 正四边形突起 47a上有四个顶点, 其中两个顶点与扭曲形凹槽 18a的两条棱边啮合, 这两个顶点为支撑 顶点 47a2; 另一个顶点 47al与凹槽 18a的另一条棱边啮合, 该顶点 47al为受力顶点; 两 个支撑顶点 47a2与受力顶点 47al分别设置在扭曲形凹槽 18a旋转轴 X2的两侧。 普通技术人员很容易就能想到, 正四边形突起 47a上的四个顶点中任意一个可以作为 受力顶点 47al, 另外的任意两个与该顶点相对的顶点可以作为支撑顶点 47a2。 实施例六:
如图 14b所示为本发明第六种实施例; 本实施例中, 非扭曲形突起采用五边形形状, 如图 14b所示, 非扭曲形突起 57a为五边形, 本实施例以正五边形为例; 正五边形突起 57a 上有两个支撑顶点 57a2与凹槽 18a上的两条棱边啮合, 为突起 57a起到支撑定位作用; 另 一个受力顶点 57al与凹槽 18a的另一条棱边啮合, 接收来自凹槽 18a的动力, 并将动力传 递给突起 57a。
本领域普通技术人员很容易就能想到,五边形的任意两个顶点可以作为支撑顶点 57a2, 另一个顶点可以作为受力顶点 57al。 实施例七:
如图 15、 16所示, 图像形成装置驱动头 28上设置有扭曲形凹槽 28a, 扭曲形凹槽 28a 的中心位置设置有支撑突起 28a2, 支撑突起 28a2可以是锥形。
感光鼓 7的一端设置有感光鼓驱动头, 该感光鼓驱动头包括鼓轴 27, 鼓轴 27上设置 有非扭曲形突起 27b, 非扭曲形突起 27b包括凸齿 27bl、 圆盘 27b2和支撑孔 27b3; 支撑 孔 27b3的中心与感光鼓旋转轴 XI重合。
本实施例中, 支撑突起 28a2和支撑孔 27b3作为所述动力传递机构的限位机构。
如图 17a所示为非扭曲形突起 27b与扭曲形凹槽 28a啮合时的截面示意图; 当非扭曲 形突起 27b与扭曲形凹槽 28a啮合时, 支撑孔 27b3与支撑突起 28a2啮合, 并为突起 27b 提供支撑和定位, 使突起 27b在与凹槽 28a啮合过程中, 非扭曲形突起 27b的旋转轴 XI与 扭曲形凹槽 28a的旋转轴 X2重合, 保证非扭曲形突起 27b与扭曲形凹槽 28a啮合平稳; 由 图 17a可知, 在非扭曲形突起 27b与扭曲形凹槽 28a啮合时, 圆盘 27b2不与凹槽 28a的棱 边啮合。
凸齿 27bl在与凹槽的棱边啮合过程中, 接收来自凹槽 28a的旋转动力, 使突起 27b旋 转。
为使支撑圆 27b3能更方便地***到支撑突起 28a2上, 支撑圆 27b3可制作成锥形, 其 锥度与支撑突起 28a2的锥度基本相同。
其它与实施例一相同的结构特征或技术效果 (例如将突起制作成锥形、 突起可与多种 不同形状的凹槽啮合等), 在此不再重复描述。
如图 17b、 17c所示分别为本实施例第二、 三种方案, 与本实施例上述方案不同的是, 突起的形状有所变化。
如图 17b所示,突起 37b上设置有与凸齿 37bl相对于支撑圆 37b3设置的对称柱 37b4, 支撑孔 37b3与凹槽 28a上的支撑突起 28a2啮合, 为突起 37b提供支撑和定位。
如图 17c所示, 突起 47b为正四边形, 正四边形突起 47b的一个顶点为受力顶点 47bl, 突起上还设置有支撑孔 47b3, 支撑孔 47b3与凹槽上的支撑突起 28a2啮合, 为突起 47b提 供支撑和定位; 当然, 突起还可以设置成五边形等其它形状。 实施例八
本实施例中所采用的图像形成装置驱动头与实施例一中的图像形成装置驱动头是相 同的, 不再重复描述。
图 18为实施例八所采用的感光鼓驱动头的立体示意图,由图知,感光鼓驱动头包括: 设置在感光鼓 1端部与感光鼓 1连接的鼓凸缘 2, 鼓凸缘 2用于将接收的驱动力传递给 感光鼓 1,从鼓凸缘 2端部轴向伸出的鼓轴 3, 鼓轴 3用于在处理盒工作过程中可旋转地 支撑感光鼓 1, 从鼓轴 3端面轴向伸出、 用于从图像形成装置驱动头 18上接收驱动力的 非扭曲形突起 4, 非扭曲突起 4上设置有支撑圆盘 4b, 非扭曲形突起 4的支撑圆盘 4b 上设置有沿非扭曲形突起 4径向延伸的第一凸齿 5a, 其中第一凸齿 5a倾斜地设置在非 扭曲形突起 4的支撑圆盘 4b上。
本实施例中, 第一凸齿 5a和支撑圆盘 4b分别作为所述动力传递机构的受力机构和 限位机构。
在驱动力传递过程中,位于感光鼓驱动头非扭曲形突起 4上的第一凸齿 5a与任一动 力传输部 18b啮合传递动力,感光鼓驱动头的非扭曲形突起支撑圆盘 4b与图像形成装置 驱动头凹槽的三条棱边在三个切点 Pl, P2和 P3处相切啮合, 从而实现在驱动力传递过 程中感光鼓驱动头与图像形成装置驱动头 18之间的中心重合对中。
图 19为感光鼓驱动头与图像形成装置驱动头装配的受力分析示意图, "A"为图像形 成装置驱动头的旋转方向, 图像形成装置驱动头对第一凸齿 5a产生的力为 Fl l, F11分 解为法向力 F12和径向力 F14, F15为图像形成装置驱动头在切点 P1处产生的力, F13 为图像形成装置驱动头在切点 P2处产生的力, P3处不受力, 综上可得如下受力分析式:
Figure imgf000012_0001
得到 F13=2 · F14, F15 = ^~F12 , 即图像形成装置驱动头或感光鼓驱动头在 P1处受到 ^F12大小的力, 在 P2处受到 2 * F14大小的力。

因为感光鼓驱动头与图像形成装置驱动头啮合传递力的过程中,相互之间存在磨损, 本方案中将感光鼓驱动头作为动力传输部的凸齿与起到定位作用的非扭曲形突起支撑圆 盘设置在不同位置处, 使力传递功能与定位功能不会因为磨损而彼此受到影响。 实施例九
如图 20和图 21所示, 分别为本实施例所采用的感光鼓驱动头的立体图和正视图, 图 22为本实施例所采用的感光鼓驱动头与图像形成装置驱动头装配俯视图, 本实施例中所描 述的图像形成装置驱动头采用实施例一中提到的图像形成装置驱动头, 不再重复描述。 由 图知, 感光鼓驱动头包括: 固定连接在感光鼓 1端部的鼓凸缘 2, 从鼓凸缘 2端部轴向延 伸出、 用于在处理盒工作过程中可旋转地支撑感光鼓 1的鼓轴 3, 从鼓轴 3端面轴向伸出、 用于从图像形成装置驱动头 18上接收驱动力的圆柱形非扭曲形突起 4, 非扭曲形突起 4的 支撑圆盘 4b上设置有沿非扭曲形突起 4径向延伸、并与图像形成装置驱动头中任意两个动 力传输部配合的一对凸齿 4a; 凸齿 4a倾斜地设置在非扭曲形突起 4支撑圆盘 4b上; 本实 施例中, 凸齿 4a和支撑圆盘分别作为所述动力传递机构的受力机构和限位机构; 两个凸 齿 4a间的最小夹角 α标准角度为 120° , 角度上限公差一般要在 2° 以内, 本方案中凸齿 4a可允许有 Θ大小的制造精度误差, Θ的范围为 2° -10° 之间, 以 2-4° 最佳, 若 Θ为角 度误差,则两个凸齿 4a间的最小夹角 α大小变为 α + Θ,此时两个凸齿 4a不会同时与凹槽 18a的动力传输部 18b啮合, 位于旋转方向最上游的凸齿先与图像形成装置驱动头上的动 力传输部啮合, 起到缓冲作用, 若凸齿 4a沿旋转方向下游有 Θ角大小的制造误差尺寸, Θ 会使凸齿产生一个渐变的啮合面, 在凸齿 4a与凹槽的动力传输部 18b啮合过程中为凸齿 4a起到缓冲作用, 可以减小图像形成装置驱动头与感光鼓驱动头间的损坏; 位于两个凸齿 4a间的非扭曲形突起圆柱面与图像形成装置驱动头的棱边接触实现感光鼓驱动头的定位。 在凸齿 4a与非扭曲形突起圆柱面连接处还设置圆角以减小应力集中。且上述感光鼓驱动头 中的鼓凸缘 3、 鼓轴 3、 圆柱形非扭曲形突起 4和凸齿 4a可以为同种材料一体制作成型, 也可以具有缓冲结构,鼓凸缘 2上还可以设置有将驱动力传递给其他元件(如显影元件等) 的鼓齿轮 2a。
图 23为感光鼓驱动头与图像形成装置驱动头装配示意图, 图 24为图像形成装置驱动 头与感光鼓驱动头啮合后的截面受力分析示意图, 由图知, 感光鼓驱动头与图像形成装置 驱动头凹槽的棱边在三个切点 P4、 P5和 P6处相切啮合, "A"为图像形成装置驱动头的旋 转方向, 图像形成装置驱动头对感光鼓驱动头产生大小相同的力 F24和 F56, 在感光鼓驱 动头承受的扭矩为实施例八扭矩两倍的情况下, F24和 F56与实施例八中的 F11是大小相 同的力, F24分解为法向力 F2和径向力 F4, F56分解为法向力 F5和径向力 F6, F2和 F5与 实施例八中的 F12大小相同, F4和 F6与实施例八中的 F14大小相同, 假设 F1为图像形 成装置驱动头在切点 P5处产生的力, F3为图像形成装置驱动头在切点 P6处产生的力, P4
F\ + F6 - sin 30° = + · sin 60° + F3 · sin 30° 不受力, 综上可得如下受力分析式: F2 + F3 - sin 60。 = F6 · sin 60。 + F5 · sin 30° 得到
Figure imgf000014_0001
Fl=2 · F4和 F3=0, 即图像形成装置驱动头和感光鼓驱动头在 P5处受到 2 · F4大小的力, 在 P6处受力为 0, 相对于实施例八本方案受力点减少, 降低了图像形成装置驱动头与感光 鼓驱动头在切点 P5和 P6处的磨损, 使感光鼓驱动头的定位稳定性提高, 从而使驱动力的 传递更平稳。 实施例十
本领域的普通技术人员很容易就能想到, 两个凸齿中, 一个设置为斜齿, 另一个为直 齿, 也能达到同样的技术效果, 图 25为本实施例所采用的感光鼓驱动头的立体示意图, 由 图知,斜齿 4a倾斜地设置在非扭曲形突起的支撑圆盘 4b上, 直齿 4c垂直地设置在支撑圆 盘 4b上。 实施例 ^一
当图像形成装置的转速较低时, 图像形成装置驱动头的转矩较小, 感光鼓驱动头的两 个凸齿可以全部设置成直齿,如图 26所示为本实施例所采用的感光鼓驱动头的立体示意图, 4d为感光鼓驱动头的凸齿, 感光鼓驱动头的制造精度进一步降低。
本发明中,实施例八至实施例十一中所述凸齿, 以实施例九为例,如图 21和图 22所示, 由图知, 凸齿 4£1与感光鼓驱动头的旋转轴线间的夹角 β选择为 3-40° 之间, 以 25-30° 为最 佳, 保证感光鼓驱动头与图像形成装置驱动头能够顺利地啮合的同时也能够防止在动力传 递过程中感光鼓驱动头从图像形成装置驱动头中脱出, 使图像形成装置驱动头与感光鼓驱 动头间稳定的传递动力; 凸齿 4a从支撑圆盘 4b沿径向方向上的长度为 Ll, L1的范围为 2-5mm 之间, 以 2. 3-3. 3mm最佳, 保证感光鼓驱动头有足够的力矩传递动力。 本发明中, 上述实施例中的所述凸齿, 以实施例九为例, 如图 21、 图 22和图 27所示, 由图知, 凸齿 4a上设置还有啮合面 4al, 啮合面 4al的面积为 5_20mm2之间, 以 7_16mm2为最 佳,力传递时啮合面 4al与图像形成装置驱动头中的动力传输部内壁啮合传递动力,通过在 凸齿 4a上设置啮合面 4al可以减小所述感光鼓驱动头与图像形成装置驱动头间的磨损;所述 凸齿还包括: 顶角 4a2, 与所述凸齿支撑圆盘相连的两个相互平行的平面 4a2和 4a3, 且平面 4a2和 4a3与感光鼓轴线间的夹角为 β; 所述啮合面还包括: 直边 s l、 s2和斜边 s3; 所述直 边 s i和直边 s2是平行的, 斜边 s3与感光鼓轴线间的夹角 φ为 5-50° 之间, 以 10_40° 间为最 佳,直边 s i与感光鼓驱动头中心到凸齿的顶角 4a2的连线间的夹角 γ为 0-90° 之间,以 25_45 。 为最佳, 如图 27-29所示, 图 27中所示的 "B"方向与凸齿的径向延伸方向平行。
本领域普通技术人员从本发明中, 很容易就能想到, 也可将凸齿设置成对称的三个, 该三个凸齿或均设置为倾斜的凸齿、 或均设置为垂直的凸齿、 或其中一个设置为倾斜的凸 齿, 另外两个设置为垂直的凸齿、 或其中一个设置为垂直的凸齿, 另外两个设置为倾斜的 凸齿; 也能达到相同的技术效果。 所述倾斜的凸齿是指所述凸齿倾斜的设置在非扭曲形突 起的支撑圆盘上,所述垂直的凸齿是指所述凸齿垂直的设置在非扭曲形突起的支撑圆盘上。
本领域普通技术人员从本发明中, 很容易就能想到, 所述非扭曲形突起的支撑圆盘和所 述非扭曲形突起圆柱面为同一部件。
