Definitions

  • This invention relates to a photoreceptor for electrophotography. More particularly, it relates to a photoreceptor drum which is very resistant to abrasion and with which vibration of the cleaning doctor blade is avoided.
  • the maximum surface roughness of an inorganic photoreceptor made from Se, etc., and an organic photoreceptor made from an organic photoconductor, which are used in copying machines for electrophotography, is usually set to be less than 0.3 S so as to promote the image quality.
  • the base tube made of an aluminum substrate is treated before the construction of the photoreceptor by grinding to give surface roughness of less than 0.3 S, and a finishing treatment achieves a mirror-like surface. The more precise the step of polishing the surface, the more expensive is the construction.
  • a photoreceptor constructed by forming a photosensitive layer on the surface of the base tube that has gone through the above-mentioned polishing step achieving a mirror-like surface abrasion of the photoreceptor increases greatly when the cleaning doctor blade and the surface of the photoreceptor come into contact by 80% or more during the step of cleaning. This is particularly the case when the surface is soft, as is true for organic photoreceptor drums.
  • the abrasion coefficient between the cleaning doctor blade and the photoreceptor is so high that vibration of the cleaning blade occurs and the cleaning of the surface of the photoreceptor becomes unsatisfactory. Due to such an abrasion phenomenon, nonuniformity of charging characteristics and inadequate cleaning arise in the photoreceptor drum, and distinct copy images cannot be obtained.
  • This invention was completed on the basis of the observation of the inventor that superior resistance to abrasion by the cleaning doctor blade and the prevention of the vibration of this blade can be achieved without deterioration of the image quality when moderate limits for the roughness of the surface of a photoreceptor drum are set, unlike the conventional situation in which there is excessive polishing of the base tube at the time of construction of the photoreceptor drum.
  • a photoreceptor drum for electrophotography comprising a cylindrical conductive substrate and an organic or inorganic photosensitive layer covering the outer surface of said substrate, wherein the maximum roughness, Rmax, of the surface of the photoreceptor drum is in the range of 0.3 S to 2.0 S.
  • the cylindrical conductive substrate is, in preferred practice, made of aluminum.
  • the cylindrical conductive substrate is, in preferred practice, polished using a grinding machine such as a cylindrical grinder.
  • the invention described herein makes possible the objects of (1) providing a photoreceptor . drum for electrophotography that has superior resistance to abrasion by the cleaning doctor blade; (2) providing a photoreceptor drum for electrophotography that has a lowered coefficient of friction against the cleaning doctor blade, thereby attaining the prevention of vibration of the cleaning doctor blade; (3) providing a photoreceptor drum for electrophotography, the charging characteristics of which are stable for a long period of time and which attains an excellent cleaning effect, resulting in distinct copy images; and (4) providing a photoreceptor drum for electrophotography in which an excess of polishing of the base tube of the drum is unnecessary, which enables the cost to be greatly decreased.
  • the photoreceptor drum 1 of this invention comprises a cylindrical conductive substrate 11 and an organic or inorganic photosensitive layer 12 covering the outer surface 110 thereof.
  • the conductive substrate 11 is made of, for example, aluminum that is 1.2 ⁇ m thick.
  • the maximum roughness, R'max, of the outer surface 110 of this conductive substrate 11 is established within the limits of 0.3 S to 2.0 S. If R'max were less than 0.3 S, the effects to be provided by this invention would not be obtained. If it were more than 2.0 S, the bit notches of the polishing step would appear on the outer surface 110 of the substrate, and when the photosensitive layer 12 was formed on this outer surface 110, the uniformity of the outer surface 120 of the photosensitive layer 12 would be damaged. Therefore, the charging characteristics of the photosensitive layer 12 would not be uniform.
  • the above-mentioned polishing step is carried out as is usual in this field, using, for example, a cylindrical grinder. A sandblaster or such equipment can be used for the finishing of the surface.
  • the photosensitive layer 12 which covers the outer surface 110 of the above-mentioned conductive substrate 11, is made of an inorganic or organic photosensitive material that is ordinarily used for photoreceptors for electrophotography.
  • organic photosensitive materials are compounds of high molecular weight such as polyvinyl carbazole (PVK), etc., and compounds of low molecular weight such as pyrazoline derivatives, etc.
  • suitable inorganic photosensitive materials are amorphous selenium (Se), zinc oxide (ZnO), cadmium sulfate (CdS), etc.
  • Such a photosensitive material is applied to the outer surface 110 of the conductive substrate 11 using a blade coater, etc., and then it is treated at 100 Q C for one hour, resulting in a photosensitive layer 12 with a thickness of about 12 ⁇ m.
  • the surface 120 of this photosensitive layer 12 is made so as to lie along the outer surface 110 of the conductive substrate 11 as if they were one piece, so the maximum roughness, Rmax, of the surface of the photosensitive layer 12 is approximately equal to the maximum roughness, R'max, of the outer surface of the substrate 11.
  • the true contact of the photoreceptor drum 1 with the cleaning doctor blade is from 5% to 70%.
  • This true contact of the photoreceptor drum 1 with the cleaning doctor blade is represented by the formula (S/S O ) x 100, wherein S is the true contact of the photoreceptor drum 1 with the cleaning doctor blade, and So is the effective surface area of the cleaning doctor blade to come into contact with the photoreceptor drum 1.
