COLLECTING DEVICE AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240103425 titled 'COLLECTING DEVICE AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a collecting device that includes a collecting path for a developer, a transport member that transports the developer by rotating, a driving unit that drives the transport member, a detecting unit that detects the load applied to the driving unit, and a control unit that controls the driving unit based on the load detected.
- The collecting device has a collecting path for the developer.
- A transport member is disposed in the collecting path and transports the developer by rotating.
- A driving unit receives electric power and drives the transport member to rotate.
- A detecting unit detects the load applied to the driving unit due to transportation of the developer.
- A control unit controls the driving unit based on the load detected by the detecting unit.
Potential Applications
The technology described in the patent application could be applied in various industries such as printing, manufacturing, and packaging where precise control of developer transportation is required.
Problems Solved
This technology solves the problem of inefficient developer transportation systems that lack the ability to adjust based on the load applied during transportation.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include improved efficiency in developer transportation, reduced wear and tear on the equipment, and increased control over the transportation process.
Potential Commercial Applications
The technology could be used in commercial printers, manufacturing conveyor systems, and automated packaging lines to improve the efficiency and control of developer transportation.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art for this technology could be conveyor systems with load detection and control mechanisms used in manufacturing and logistics industries.
Unanswered Questions
How does the control unit adjust the driving unit based on the load detected by the detecting unit?
The patent application does not provide specific details on the mechanism by which the control unit adjusts the driving unit based on the load detected. Further information on the control algorithm or mechanism would be helpful.
What is the expected lifespan of the transport member in this collecting device?
The patent application does not mention the expected lifespan of the transport member used in the collecting device. Understanding the durability and maintenance requirements of this component would be important for potential users.
Original Abstract Submitted
a collecting device includes a collecting path for a developer, at least one transport member that is disposed in the collecting path and that transports the developer by rotating, a driving unit that drives, by receiving electric power, the transport member in such a manner that the transport member rotates, a detecting unit that detects a load applied to the driving unit due to transportation of the developer, and a control unit that controls the driving unit based on the load detected by the detecting unit.
