Abstract

A developing device includes a developing roller and a transfer mechanism configured to transfer the developing roller between a contact position where the developing roller is in contact with a photosensitive drum and a separate position where the developing roller is away from the photosensitive drum. The transfer mechanism includes a bearing unit supporting a rotary shaft of the developing roller to allow rotation of the rotary shaft, a pressing member pressing the bearing unit, a shaft member, an urging member, and a wire member. The wire member connects the bearing unit and the shaft member and is configured to experience an urging force of the urging member to urge the bearing unit toward moving away from the photosensitive drum and, upon release of the urging force of the urging member, move the bearing unit close to the photosensitive drum under a pressing force of the pressing member. According to the invention, on the premise that the structure is not complicated, the composability is optimized, the developing roller can be contacted with and separated from the image carrier more smoothly, and therefore the replacing efficiency of the developing device can be improved.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a developing device and an image forming apparatus equipped with the developing device, and more particularly to a mechanism for contacting and separating a developing roller from an image carrier. Background technique [0002] An electrophotographic image forming apparatus is provided with a developing device that supplies a developer to an electrostatic latent image formed on a photoreceptor drum (image carrier) through a developing roller to generate a toner image. In this developing device, in order to be able to supply the above-mentioned developer, the developing roller is arranged in an adjacent state with respect to the degree of contact with the photoreceptor drum. However, in order to be able to take out the developing device without damaging the photoreceptor drum during maintenance or the like, A mechanism is provided that moves the developing roller from a state adjacent to the photoreceptor drum to a separated ...
