Embodiment 1

[0262] As a test machine, a modified Docu-Center Color500 from Fuji Xerox Co., Ltd. was used. That is, the photoreceptor A having a protective layer formed on the surface is assembled as a photoreceptor. Assemble a cleaning unit equipped with a cleaning blade A and a cleaning auxiliary component A. Under low temperature / low humidity (10°C, 20% relative humidity) and high temperature / high humidity (28°C, 80% relative humidity), use Docu-Center Color500 product developer as the developer to perform durability of approximately 100,000 images Performance test to evaluate the wear of the photoreceptor and scratches on the photoreceptor (photoreceptor roughness). In addition, the occurrence of film formation under low temperature / low humidity is evaluated, and the image flow under high temperature / high humidity is evaluated. These results are listed in Table 2 along with the comprehensive assessment.

Abstract

This invention relates to a cleaning unit comprising: a cleaning blade that keeps a front end of rubber material in contact with the surface with a pressure so as to scrape residual toner left on the surface of the photoreceptor and a fiber body having multiple fibers in contact with the surface of the photoreceptor in the upstream in the cyclic moving direction of the surface of the photoreceptor with respect to the cleaning blade, wherein the cleaning blade satisfies conditions A>=-2.5xB+102 and 6.3<=B<=19.6, where A designates a contact angle ( DEG ) with pure water under 23 DEG C, 55% RH and B designates 100% modulus (MPa) at 23 DEG C.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a cleaning unit used in electrophotographic methods including copiers, facsimile machines, and printers for removing residues such as residual toner, and an image forming apparatus equipped with the cleaning unit. Background technique [0002] According to the conventional electrophotographic method, during the toner image forming cycle, the surface of the photoreceptor, which is cyclically moved, such as rotating around the central axis in a predetermined direction, is charged with a charger, and the surface of the charged photoreceptor is irradiated with an exposure light source. An electrostatic latent image is formed on the surface of the photoreceptor, and then the electrostatic latent image is developed by a developer to form a toner image on the surface of the photoreceptor, and the toner image formed on the surface of the photoreceptor is transferred to a predetermined The surface of the transfer body (recording medi...
