IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240111240 titled 'IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS

Simplified Explanation

The image forming apparatus described in the patent application includes various components such as a photosensitive drum, a charging member, a developing member, a transfer member, gears, a drive source, and a control unit. The control unit is responsible for controlling the image forming operation by rotating the photosensitive drum at different speeds.

  • Photosensitive drum, charging member, developing member, transfer member, gears, drive source, and control unit are key components of the image forming apparatus.
  • The control unit manages the image forming operation by controlling the rotational speed of the photosensitive drum.

Original Abstract Submitted

an image forming apparatus includes a photosensitive drum, a charging member, a developing member, a transfer member, first and second gears, a drive source, and a control unit. the charging member contacts the photosensitive drum and forms a charging portion to charge a surface of the photosensitive drum. the control unit performs control in such a manner that an image forming operation of performing image formation by rotating the photosensitive drum at a first rotational speed is executable. where the control unit executes the image forming operation, the control unit performs a switch operation of stopping the photosensitive drum in a state in which the photosensitive drum is driven, while a non-image forming operation to be executed after the image forming operation is executed, and rotationally driving the photosensitive drum again at a second rotational speed faster than the first rotational speed, a plurality of times.
