A charging unit is disclosed capable of reducing undue variation and fluctuation margin of a charging gap, and controlling accurately the proper gap durably over the change of environmental conditions, which is suitably incorporated into an image forming apparatus. The charging unit is configured to charge an image bearing member in a non-contact arrangement, including a charging roller provided with a core shaft, a charging member formed of electroconductive resin integrally disposed on the periphery of the core shaft, and gap holding members formed of insulating resin each disposed at respective ends of the charging member outside an image forming region. The control of the charging gap is feasible by either forming the gap with a charging member having such a materials condition as to satisfy the relation, |G30−G10|×5

An image forming apparatus comprising an image bearing member, a transfer mechanism that transfers a developer image formed on the image bearing member, a charger that charges the image bearing member, a first high voltage power supply substrate that applies a first voltage to the transfer mechanism, and a second high voltage power supply substrate that applies a second voltage to the charger, wherein the second voltage has a polarity opposite to the first voltage.

A pulse-like DC voltage is applied from two power sources to transfer residual toner uniformizing means and toner charge amount control means, respectively, to expel transfer residual toner deposited on these means from these means onto a photosensitive drum. In a low humidity environment, the number of application of the DC voltage is increased so as to sufficiently expel the transfer residual toner because the transfer residual toner is less liable to be expelled even when the pulse-like DC voltage is applied to the above two means in the low humidity environment in which an absolute moisture content in atmosphere is small and electrical resistances at portions of a photosensitive drum contacting the above two means.

A charging device includes a case that surrounds a charging unit and has plural ventilating sections, a gas separating unit that varies a component ratio of the air near an opposed portion of a photosensitive member and the charging unit, and a gas electrolyzing unit that electrolyzes moisture of the area near the opposed portion. The gas separating unit has a nitrogen enriching unit that includes a nitrogen enriching film set in a ventilating section and a pressurizing chamber for forming a pressure difference between the inside and the outside of the case and supplies a nitrogen enriched air to the inside of the case or an oxygen enriching unit that includes an oxygen enriching film set in another ventilating section and a depressurizing chamber for forming a pressure difference between the inside and the outside of the case and exhausts an oxygen enriched air to the outside of the case.

An OPC 2, a charger 9, a cleaner 10 for cleaning the charger 9, a holder 11 for holding the charger 9, a support frame 12 for supporting the holder 11, a pair of springs 13 and 14 and a driver 15 for driving the holder are accommodated in a single process cartridge 8. The cleaner 10 can be brought into contact with the charger 9 and separated from the same. The driver 15 moves the cleaner 10 between a position of contact at which the cleaner 10 is brought into contact with the charger 9 and a position of separation at which the cleaner 10 is separated from the charger 9. The charger 9 has a wettability that is lower than that of a photosensitive member on which an electrostatic latent image is formed.

In order to provide a process cartridge which has a simple mechanism and can be easily positioned with respect to an apparatus body and securely mounted on the apparatus body even in a half-locked state or a half-inserted condition, the process cartridge 200 includes a unit 201, a positioning member 202, a holding member 203 and a restricting and releasing mechanism 204. The unit 201 includes an element used for an image forming process. The positioning member 202 has a positioning member which engages with an engagement portion 125, 126 formed on the image forming apparatus to position the process cartridge 200 at a predetermined mount position in the image forming apparatus. The holding member 203 holds the unit 201 to allow displacement of the unit 201 relative to the positioning member 202. The restricting and releasing mechanism 204 is arranged to restrict or release the displacement of the unit 201 relative to the positioning member 202.
摘要:
A device for preventing contamination of a print sheet and the reduction in the effectiveness of a scorotron type charger by free toner and paper particles. The device includes a paper dust eliminator extending the length of a photosensitive member and a wiping mechanism at each end of the photosensitive member for removing free toner that has accumulated there. Further, a partition that separates the developing section from the charger can be provided to further reduce free toner from attaching to the charger.
