DEVELOPER SUPPLYING DEVICE AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18378209 titled 'DEVELOPER SUPPLYING DEVICE AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a system that includes a variable volume pump, a feeding path with a connection opening and a discharge opening, and a toner accommodating portion. The volume change amount of the pump is larger than the total volume from the connection opening to the discharge opening of the feeding path.

  • The system includes a pump portion that can change its volume.
  • The feeding path portion is connected to the pump portion and has a connection opening at one end and a discharge opening at the other end.
  • An intermediate portion between the connection opening and the discharge opening accommodates the toner.
  • The volume change amount of the pump portion is larger than the total volume of the feeding path portion.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Printing and copying machines: The system can be used to efficiently transport toner in printing and copying machines, ensuring a consistent supply of toner for high-quality prints.
  • Industrial processes: The system can be applied in various industrial processes that require the precise and controlled transportation of powders or granular materials.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Inefficient toner transportation: The system addresses the problem of inefficient toner transportation by providing a variable volume pump that can accommodate a larger volume change than the total volume of the feeding path. This ensures a smooth and consistent flow of toner.
  • Inconsistent toner supply: The system solves the problem of inconsistent toner supply by effectively accommodating and transporting toner from the connection opening to the discharge opening, ensuring a reliable and continuous supply of toner.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved printing and copying performance: The system allows for efficient and consistent toner transportation, resulting in improved printing and copying performance with high-quality prints and copies.
  • Enhanced productivity: By ensuring a reliable and continuous supply of toner, the system minimizes downtime and interruptions, leading to increased productivity in printing and copying operations.
  • Versatile industrial applications: The system's ability to transport powders or granular materials with precision and control opens up possibilities for various industrial processes, improving efficiency and accuracy.
