  • Publication number: 20240094673
    Abstract: A developing device includes: a container that contains developer; a developer holder that rotates with the developer being held on a surface thereof to transport the developer to a developing region; and a cooling unit. An introduction port is provided at a position corresponding to the developing region, the introduction port allowing suction of a floating substance generated in the developing region in a transverse direction of the container. The cooling unit is connected to the introduction port to allow passage of gas containing the floating substance in a longitudinal direction of the container, and cools the container with the gas. An intake port is connected to an end of the cooling unit in the longitudinal direction, the intake port allowing introduction of gas.

  • Patent number: 10705483
    Abstract: A particle collecting device includes a vent pipe having a channel space through which air flows, a first air blower that delivers air including a particle at a first end of the vent pipe into the channel space, a collector that is disposed to block a channel in the channel space at an intermediate part of the vent pipe and that collects the particle included in the air delivered by the first air blower, and a second air blower that collects the air traveling through the collector at a second end of the vent pipe and that delivers the air outward from the channel space. The first and second air blowers operate such that a first pressure in a first channel space extending from the first air blower to the collector and a second pressure in a second channel space extending from the collector to the second air blower are maintained to have a relationship in which the second pressure<the first pressure?atmospheric pressure. The first and second channel spaces are included in the channel space of the vent pipe.
