  • Patent number: 11934145
    Abstract: A developing apparatus includes an electrostatic latent image bearer, a developing sleeve, a case, and an air filter. The case accommodates a two-component developer and the developing sleeve. The air filter is attached to the case. The air filter has a thickness of 2 to 20 mm and has a density gradient with a pressure loss of 2 to 40 Pa at a wind speed of 10 cm/s. The air filter forms an airflow sucked into the case from a gap between the developing sleeve and the case and forms an airflow discharged from the case through the air filter. The two-component developer accommodated in the case contains a magnetic particle a surface of which is coated with a resin layer. The resin layer contains at least one type of chargeable particle.

  • Patent number: 11932770
    Abstract: A method for producing a resin sintered body 1 by applying an ink 3 to thermoplastic resin powder 2 and sintering the powder, the method including the step of immersing an intermediate resin sintered body 1m, which has an unevenly colored region on the surface thereof and the whole of which has been already sintered, in a surface treatment liquid containing sulfuric acid and chromic anhydride, in which the concentration of chromic anhydride is 300 g/L or more, for 5 minutes or longer. When producing a resin sintered body by sintering thermoplastic resin powder, the surface of the resin sintered body can be evenly and sufficiently colored to an extent required without an unevenly colored region on the surface thereof, and also the surface of the resin sintered body can have a good appearance and smoothness.

  • Publication number: 20230110462
    Abstract: A phosphor wheel unit includes a phosphor wheel that converts incident light into fluorescent light and emits the fluorescent light, a first heat exchanger having a plurality of fin members that is arranged and an airflow inlet surface through which an airflow generated by rotation of the phosphor wheel partially or entirely flows in, and a regulating member that regulates a direction of the airflow. The direction of the airflow regulated by the regulating member and a direction perpendicular to a rotation shaft of the phosphor wheel form an angle of between 0 degrees and 45 degrees on a surface perpendicular to an extending direction of a base material of the phosphor wheel. The airflow inlet surface is disposed intercepting the direction of the airflow regulated by the regulating member. The first heat exchanger cools a gas forming the airflow and the cooled gas returns to the phosphor wheel.
