Problems solved by technology

However, in the processing unit that achieves such a long life, the toner adhesion of the developing roller will gradually decrease due to the deterioration of the developing roller over time, or the conjunctiva where the constituent components of the toner adhere to the surface of the developing roller. decline
Therefore, in the configuration for achieving a longer life of the processing unit, when using toner with high cohesive force, the above-mentioned The problem of image density reduction is easy to superficial

[0109]

[0110] 545 parts of polyester, 181 parts of paraffin wax, and 1450 parts of ethyl acetate were placed in a container equipped with a stirring bar and a thermometer, and the temperature was raised to 80° C. with stirring, and kept at 80° C. for 5 hours. Cool to 30°C. Next, 500 parts of the above-mentioned master batch, 100 parts of the charge control agent, and 100 parts of ethyl acetate were placed in a container, and mixed for 1 hour to obtain a raw material solution.

[0111] Transfer 1500 parts of the above-mentioned raw material solution into a container, use a bead mill (ultrafine particle dispersing pulverizer of Amax), and oxidize 0.5mm with a liquid feeding speed of 1kg / hr and a disk peripheral speed of 6m / sec. The zirconium beads were filled with 80% by volume, and the carbon black and WAX were dispersed under the conditions of 3 passes. Next, 425 parts and 230 parts of the above-mentioned polyester were added, and a bead-milling under the above-mentioned ...

Embodiment 1

[0156] In Example 1, the above-mentioned Toner 1 containing silicone oil was used. In addition, the supply roll is a roll formed by forming foamed polyurethane with an average foam cell diameter of 100 μm around the mandrel roll, the outer diameter is 13.4 mm, and the volume resistance is 3×10 4 Ω. The amount of bite of the supply roller to the developing roller was 1 mm, the contact pressure was 47 N / m, the voltage applied to the developing roller was -200V, and the voltage applied to the supply roller was -350V. That is, the potential difference between the supply roller and the developing roller was -150V.

Embodiment 2

[0158] Example 2 In Example 1, the elastic layer and outer diameter of the supply roller were changed. Specifically, the outer diameter was changed from 13.4 mm to 12.8 mm, and the average foam cell diameter was changed from 100 μm to 266 μm. In addition, with this change, the amount of bite of the supply roller to the developing roller was 0.7 mm, and the contact pressure was 30 N / m.

Abstract

The invention provides a development device, an image forming apparatus and a process unit. satisfactory quality can be obtained even developer with high agglomeration degree is used. The development device comprises a developer supply member (42) for supplying developer in the surface of a developer bearer (41) after the developer supply member (42) contacts teh developer bearer (41). The developer has a degree of agglomeration of 54% or greater. A biting amount of the developer supply member (42) relative to the developer bearer (41) is 0.7 mm or greater.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a developing device, a process cartridge including the developing device, and an image forming apparatus. Background technique [0002] Electrophotographic image forming apparatuses such as copiers, printers, facsimile machines, and multi-functional peripherals thereof are provided with a developing device that visualizes a latent image formed on a photoreceptor of an image carrier. Generally, a developing device includes a developing roller on which toner as a developer is placed on the surface, and a supply roller that supplies the toner to the developing roller, and confines the toner on the developing roller to a uniform level A restricting blade etc. in the thickness of 1 (for example, refer to Patent Document 1). [0003] As a basic operation of the developing device, first, the toner contained in the developing device is triboelectrically charged by the sliding friction between the supply roller and the developi...
