Background technology
All the time, the image processing system that uses by carrier and contain the electrofax mode of the tow-component developer that the carrier of magnetic composition constitutes is in the public eye.In this image processing system, at the electrostatic latent image of photosensitive surface formation and view data correspondence, it is also visual by toner this electrostatic latent image to be developed.In this case, the tow-component developer that will contain toner and carrier is sent to the position relative with photosensitive surface, by because of above-mentioned electrostatic latent image generation effect, than the strong electrostatic attraction of adhesive strength (adhesion) of toner and carrier, toner is moved to above-mentioned electrostatic latent image.
And in using the developing process of tow-component developer, people know and can the adhesive strength of toner and carrier be impacted the ratio electric charge of toner, the shape of toner etc.And know that the charging property of toner can reduce gradually because of long-term the use.
When the adhesive strength of toner and carrier reduces, produce that to move to the amount of toner of photoreceptor from developing apparatus excessive and make image quality decrease, or toner is from problems such as developing apparatus disperse.
Therefore, require a kind of exploitation of the toner that in carrying out tow-component developer, uses, to the basis of the optimization of developing process, the evaluation of degree of degeneration etc., can be easily and correctly measure the adhesive strength of toner and carrier or the technology that adhesive strength distributes.
Generally speaking, the adhesive strength of the powder of toner etc. is separated powder required power and is detected from the body that is attached that powder adheres to by measuring.And as making powder from being attached the method that body separates, centrifugal separation, electric field method, to spurt method etc. comparatively known.
In centrifugal separation (for example with reference to patent documentation 1~3), on the relative position of the test portion substrate that powder is adhered to, configuration receives from the reception substrate of the powder of test portion substrate separation, the test portion substrate is arranged in the rotor of centrifugal separating device, utilize the centrifugal force of the rotation generation of rotor, powder is separated from the test portion substrate, and be attached to the reception substrate.And measure the quality that is attached to the powder that receives substrate,, calculate and separate required centrifugal force, obtain the adhesive strength of powder with respect to the test portion substrate according to the quality of powder and the rotation number of rotor.
In electric field method (for example with reference to patent documentation 4~6), on the relative position of the electric conductivity test portion substrate that powder is adhered to, configuration receives from the electric conductivity of the powder of test portion substrate separation and receives substrate, to the electrode that is disposed at test portion substrate one side and be disposed between the electrode that receives substrate one side and apply electric field, thereby charged powder is separated from the test portion substrate, be attached on the reception substrate.And, measure the quality that is attached to the powder that receives substrate, utilize the quality of mensuration, measure the quantity of electric charge of good powder, the electric field intensity that applies in advance, obtain and separate required electrostatic force, thereby calculate the adhesive strength of powder with respect to the test portion substrate.
In the method for spurting (for example with reference to patent documentation 2), spray pressurized air to the test portion substrate that is attached with powder with predetermined wind speed, thereby powder is separated from the test portion substrate, catch the powder that separates with precipitron, the volume of the powder of catching according to precipitron, obtain the air resistance that powder is subjected to, calculate the adhesive strength of powder in view of the above with respect to the test portion substrate.
And patent documentation 7 discloses following method: high-speed mobile is attached with the test portion substrate of powder, thereby powder is separated from the test portion substrate, and population and mass particle according to after separating detect the adhesive strength of powder with respect to the test portion substrate.
And, patent documentation 8 discloses following method: make developer magnetic adherence that the potpourri of toner and carrier constitutes to the test portion substrate, when this developer applies certain electric field, make the relative real estate of test portion substrate to the vertical direction high-speed mobile, thereby make the toner separation carrier, obtain population and mass particle before and after breaking away from, thereby measure the adhesive strength of carrier and toner.

(2. experimental result)
The measurement result (testing result that the toner adhesive strength distributes) of the toner adhesive strength that use toner adhesive strength measure of spread device 1 carries out then is described.
Experimental technique is, at first the tow-component developer mixed/stirred that will be made of toner and carrier makes toner charged, kept by the 1st magnet 22 of developer maintaining part 2.And in the present embodiment, as shown in Figure 4, only the central portion by the upper surface (the maintenance face of tow-component developer) of the 1st magnet 22 keeps developer.This be because, can reduce the influence of air turbulence that the wall of mozzle 21 causes to measurement result, and by only in the zone of the maintenance face approximate vertical of the relative tow-component developer of magnetic line of force direction of the 1st magnet 22, keeping developer, tow-component developer can be remained the magnetic brush shape, make air-flow contact each carrier and each toner fifty-fifty.Promptly, in the peripheral edge portion of the 1st magnet, magnetic line of force direction and maintenance face angulation diminish, be difficult to tow-component developer is remained the magnetic brush shape, therefore in the present embodiment, for the developer that makes determination object remains the magnetic brush shape equably, only the central portion at the upper surface of the 1st magnet 22 keeps developer.
Particularly, the peripheral edge portion of the upper surface of the 1st magnet 22 film with nonmagnetic material is covered wide 4mm * long 23mm, area 92mm in the central portion of the upper surface of the 1st magnet 22
2Zone (the oblique line portion of Fig. 4) in, be sprinkled into the tow-component developer that mixed/stirred crosses and make its dispersion, 20mg is fallen by gravity.Therefore, the developer level under the unit area is 0.22mg/mm
2=0.22kg/m
2In addition, sieve uses the device of mesh 75 μ m (200).So, the tow-component developer that drops on the 1st magnet 22 is that ferromagnetism, carrier have the magnetic composition because of the 1st magnet 22, thus the magnetic brush shape erect arrangement (with the direction of the 1st magnet 22 Surface Vertical on erect arrangement).Peel off the above-mentioned film that covers employed nonmagnetic material afterwards, will keep the 1st magnet 22 of tow-component developer to be set on the developer maintaining part 2.
Then provide air-flow to mozzle 21, increase (dull increasing) wind speed, so that wind speed reaches 150m/s after at the fixed time with certain proportion from 3 beginnings of air-flow supply unit.
So, the toner T1 that is attached to the support C in the developer maintaining part 2 is subjected to the air resistance with the wind speed correspondence.And when the air resistance that toner T1 is subjected to was bigger than the adhesive strength of toner T1 and support C, this toner T1 separated from support C, became and separated toner T2, was transported to by air-flow and separated toner test section 4.
And in this experiment, each toner when having used toner A shown in Figure 5~C has carried out the detection that the toner adhesive strength distributes.Toner A is the toner that constitutes by the polyester that polymerization generates, average particle diameter 5.0 μ m, particle average density 1.2 * 10
3Kg/m
3, SF-1=130, SF-2=123.Toner B is the toner that constitutes by the polyester that polymerization generates, average particle diameter 5.0 μ m, particle average density 1.2 * 10
3Kg/m
3, SF-1=154, SF-2=138.Toner C is the toner that constitutes by the polyester that comminuting method generates, average particle diameter 5.0 μ m, particle average density 1.2 * 10
3Kg/m
3, SF-1=160, SF-2=145.In addition, SF-1 and SF-2 are the shape coefficients of the shape of expression toner particle, and value is represented subglobular more near 100 more.Particularly, SF-1 and SF-2 are L in the absolute maximum length of toner particle
Max, toner particle projected area be that the girth of Area, toner particle is L
PerimeterThe time, define with following formula:
(numerical expression 1)
And, use with resin-coated carriers core particle, average particle diameter 45~50 μ m that constitute by ferrite as carrier.
Fig. 6 is that expression is used charged toner C for-22.9 μ C/g, begun to arrive 150m/s with certain proportion (air-flow acceleration alpha=0.05m/s after 50 minutes for wind speed is supplied with from air-flow
2) chart of detection frequency of separation toner when increasing, under each elapsed time.In addition, the last figure of Fig. 6 expression wind speed through the time change, figure below is represented the frequency distribution (attribute disperses) of the population of detected separation toner.
The last figure of Fig. 7 is that expression is used charged toner B for-37.4 μ C/g, begun to arrive 150m/s with certain proportion (air-flow acceleration alpha=0.5m/s after 5 minutes for wind speed is supplied with from air-flow
2) chart of detection frequency of separation toner when increasing wind speed, under each elapsed time.And, figure below of Fig. 7 be expression make the carrier monomer 19mg of unmixed toner be attached to the upper surface of the 1st magnet 22 central portion, begin after 5 minutes, to arrive 150m/s for wind speed is supplied with from air-flow with certain proportion (air-flow acceleration alpha=0.5m/s
2) chart of detection frequency of carrier when increasing, under each elapsed time.In addition, the longitudinal axis of figure below and transverse axis compare with last figure for being easy to, to represent with last figure same standard.As can be seen from Figure 7, the carrier number that disperses is compared considerably less with the toner number that flies away from from carrier and disperse.Therefore as can be known, in the dispersion property shown in the last figure of Fig. 7, be not subjected to the influence that carrier disperses substantially, dispersing of toner particle is dominance.In addition, when observing with microscope for the matching of confirming result shown in Figure 7 and actual phenomenon, the dispersing of carrier unconfirmed in the scope of wind speed 0 to 40m/s only confirmed dispersing of toner.
Fig. 8 is that expression is used charged toner A and charged toner A for-32.5 μ C/g for-11.0 μ C/g, begun to arrive 150m/s with certain proportion (air-flow acceleration alpha=0.5m/s after 5 minutes for wind speed is supplied with from air-flow
2) chart of cumulative distribution of detection number (toner adhesive strength) when increasing, that separate toner.
In addition, cumulative distribution is following to be obtained: the detection number of the separation toner under each wind speed of adhesion calculating part 5b extraction wind speed 0~150m/s, be accumulated to the number of the separation toner till the 150m/s, with the detection number of the separation toner under each wind speed divided by above-mentioned aggregate-value, to remove value after calculating till wind speed 0~150m/s according to each wind speed accumulative total.
And, the power that toner is subjected to by air-flow and the quadratic power of wind speed is proportional becomes big.Therefore adhesion calculating part 5b basis is calculated the cumulative distribution (distribution of toner adhesive strength) of toner adhesive strength to the cumulative distribution of the detection number of the separation toner of each wind speed.
And Fig. 9 represents to use respectively charged toner C for-22.0 μ C/g ,-22.9 μ C/g ,-30.1 μ C/g, begins to arrive 150m/s with certain proportion (air-flow acceleration alpha=0.5m/s after 5 minutes for wind speed is supplied with from air-flow
2) chart of cumulative distribution of detection number (toner adhesive strength) when increasing, that separate toner.
And Figure 10 is the toner A~C that has drawn for more different than electric charge, begins to arrive 150m/s with certain proportion (air-flow acceleration alpha=0.5m/s after 5 minutes for wind speed is supplied with from air-flow
2) chart of the wind speed of toner when increasing, 50% when carrier separates.
As Fig. 8 and shown in Figure 9,, can correctly detect the ratio electric charge of toner and toner relation with respect to the adhesive strength of carrier by the toner adhesive strength measure of spread device 1 of present embodiment.That is, bigger more than electric charge generally speaking as can be seen from Figure 10, toner is strong more with respect to the adhesive strength of carrier, but by the toner adhesive strength determinator 1 that present embodiment relates to, can correctly detect.And as shown in figure 10, compare with the toner that generates by polymerization by the toner that comminuting method generates, big with respect to the adhesive strength of carrier.
1 pair of adhesive strength (adhesion) Determination of distribution of toner adhesive strength measure of spread device of present embodiment then is described and can't help the 1st magnet 22 and keep developers and be configured in the experimental result of adhesive strength (adhesion) Determination of distribution of the toner adhesive strength measure of spread device that the comparative examples in the mozzle 21 relate to.
Figure 11 is the skeleton view of the developer maintaining part 102 that relates to of comparative example, and Figure 12 is the skeleton view of the developer container 122 that has of developer maintaining part 102.The formation of the toner adhesive strength determinator that comparative example relates to is except the formation difference of developer maintaining part, and is identical with toner adhesive strength measure of spread device 1.As shown in figure 11, developer maintaining part 102 has developer container 122, substitutes the 1st magnet 22 in the developer maintaining part 2.Developer container 122 has the bucket-shaped depression 122a of wide 4mm * long 23mm as shown in figure 12, accommodates developer in this depression 122a.
Figure 13 is the expression toner adhesive strength measure of spread device 1 that uses present embodiment, to charged for the unsetting toner (crushed toner) of-22.0 μ C/g, begin through arrival 150m/s after 5 minutes with certain proportion (air-flow acceleration alpha=0.5m/s for wind speed is supplied with from air-flow
2) processing when increasing, that calculate the cumulative distribution of the detection number (toner adhesive strength) that separates toner, the chart of the result when under identical conditions, repeating secondary.
And Figure 14 is the expression toner adhesive strength determinator that uses comparative example and relate to, except the processing of developer container difference to calculate the cumulative distribution of the detection number (toner adhesive strength) that separates toner under external and the same condition of Figure 13, the chart of the result when repeating secondary.
As shown in figure 14, when using the toner adhesive strength determinator that comparative example relates to, measurement result is greatly different when measuring at every turn, and the reappearance of measurement result is lower.Relative with it, as shown in figure 13, when using the toner adhesive strength determinator 1 of present embodiment, even replication also can obtain essentially identical result, the reappearance of measurement result is higher.
Can think this be because, in the toner adhesive strength measure of spread device that comparative example relates to, (1) air-flow only contacts the upper surface of the developer that is positioned at the surface in the developer of accommodating in the developer container 122, air-flow does not contact developer fifty-fifty, and (2) carrier do not keep by magnet, therefore can disperse by air-flow.
On the other hand, in the toner adhesive strength determinator 1 that present embodiment relates to, (1) but by the 1st magnet 22 magnetic brush shapes keep developer (with the direction of the 1st magnet 22 Surface Vertical on erect arrange ground and keep), therefore can make air-flow contact developer fifty-fifty, and the magnetic field of (2) carrier of containing the magnetic composition by the 1st magnet 22 is kept by magnetic, therefore can suppress carrier disperses because of air-flow, the toner that separates from carrier is dispersed, thereby can obtain the strong measurement result of reappearance.
As mentioned above, the toner adhesive strength measure of spread device 1 that present embodiment relates to has: the developer maintaining part has the 1st magnet 22 that keeps tow-component developer by magnetic force; Air-flow supply unit 3 provides air-flow to the tow-component developer that is kept 22 by the 1st magnet; Separate toner test section 4, detect conduct because of the number of said flow from the separation toner of carrier separation; And adhesion calculating part 5b, according to the wind speed and the above-mentioned number of separating toner test section 4 detected separation toners of said flow, calculate the distribution of the adhesive strength of toner and carrier.
