ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for monitoring the concentration of toner in a mass of developer mix including the toner and carrier particles, having a sampling cylinder inside which the developer mix flows. An accumulating cylinder is disposed over the sampling cylinder. At the upper end part of the accumulating cylinder, a guide plate is disposed by which the developer mix is supplied to the accumulating cylinder. At the lower end part of the accumulating cylinder, a developer mix supplying roll is disposed by which the developer mix at a fixed flow rate is supplied to the upper end opening of the sampling cylinder. On the other hand, at the lower end opening of the sampling cylinder, there is disposed a magnet roll by which the developer mix at a fixed flow rate is discharged from inside the sampling cylinder. The flow rate of the developer mix to be supplied to the sampling cylinder is set to be greater than the flow rate of the developer mix to be discharged, so that part of the developer mix supplied towards the sampling cylinder overflows from the upper edge of the sampling cylinder. Therefore, the developer mix inside the sampling cylinder flows in a stable state. A detecting coil is disposed on the outer periphery of the sampling cylinder, and detects the toner concentration of the developer mix in the form of an inductance.
