Abstract

A developing device includes multiple developing units, and multiple toner concentration sensors. The multiple developing units contain respective developers. The multiple toner concentration sensors have respective LC oscillator circuits and are disposed at the respective multiple developing units. A capacitor constituting the LC oscillator circuit differs in capacitance at each of the toner concentration sensors installed on the multiple developing units. The electrostatic capacity of capacitors which are arranged on the toner concentration sensors of the developing units forming the LC oscillator circuits is different. Thus, detection precision of toner concentration can be ensured and devices can be restrained from generating irradiation noise.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a developing device, an image forming device, and a toner concentration detection method, and more specifically, to a technique for detecting the toner concentration of a developer contained in a developing device. Background technique [0002] A toner concentration sensor having an LC oscillation circuit is known as a device for detecting the toner concentration of a developer contained in a developing device. The toner concentration sensor detects the toner concentration of the developer by grasping a change in magnetic permeability due to a change in the toner concentration of the developer as a change in the oscillation frequency of the LC oscillation circuit. In recent years, for the purpose of miniaturization and cost reduction, a toner concentration sensor using a planar coil as a coil constituting an LC oscillation circuit has appeared. [0003] Here, in an image forming apparatus that performs color printing, ...
