PROCESS CARTRIDGE, ELECTROPHOTOGRAPHIC IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, AND ASSEMBLY METHOD OF PROCESS CARTRIDGE

摘要

A process cartridge configured to be removably mounted on an apparatus body of an electrophotographic image forming apparatus includes a photosensitive unit (v) including a photosensitive drum (7); a developing unit (u) including a developing roller (13) configured to develop an electrostatic latent image formed on the photosensitive drum, and configured to be rotatably coupled with the photosensitive unit around only a single center of rotation (18a) at one end side of the process cartridge in an axial direction of the photosensitive drum; and a link member (20) provided at the other end side of the process cartridge in the axial direction, and configured to be rotatably coupled with both the photosensitive unit and the developing unit and promote relative movement between the developing roller and the photosensitive drum.
