Electrophotographic recording device

Abstract

Abstract Translated from Japanese (57)【要約】 【目的】 像担持体表面に潤滑剤を塗布してフィルミン グ層の形成を防止する電子写真記録装置において、像担 持体上の潤滑剤が多くなったり少なくなったりばらつく ことを防止する。 【構成】 転写ベルト２３のような像担持体上に潤滑剤 ４８を塗布する潤滑剤塗布手段４４と、前記像担持体上 の潤滑剤量を検知する検知手段４５と、その検知手段４ ５の検知結果に基づき潤滑剤塗布手段４４を制御する制 御手段４６とを備える。そして、像担持体上に潤滑剤４ ８を塗布するとき、制御手段４６で潤滑剤塗布手段４４ を制御して検知手段４５の検知結果が像担持体上の潤滑 剤量の基準値に達するまで塗布動作を繰り返してなる。 (57) [Abstract] [Purpose] In an electrophotographic recording apparatus in which a lubricant is applied to the surface of an image bearing member to prevent the formation of a filming layer, the amount of the lubricant on the image bearing member may be increased or decreased or may vary. Prevent. A lubricant applying means 44 for applying a lubricant 48 on an image carrier such as the transfer belt 23, a detecting means 45 for detecting the amount of the lubricant on the image carrier, and a detecting means 4 thereof. The control means 46 controls the lubricant applying means 44 based on the detection result of No. 5. Then, the lubricant 4 is applied on the image carrier. 8 is applied, the control means 46 controls the lubricant applying means 44. The coating operation is repeated until the detection result of the detection means 45 reaches the reference value of the lubricant amount on the image carrier.
