Fig. 5 is another schematic structural diagram of a case and a cover according to some embodiments of the present application. Fig. 6 is another schematic structural view of the case and the cover in fig. 5.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 1 to 4, the powder cartridge 10 includes a cartridge body 100, the cartridge body 100 is used for accommodating toner, the cartridge body 100 has a supply port 110 and an operation port 120, the supply port 110 and the operation port 120 are both communicated with the inner side and the outer side of the cartridge body 100, that is, the supply port 110 and the operation port 120 both penetrate through the side wall of the cartridge body 100, the shapes of the supply port 110 and the operation port 120 are not limited in this embodiment, for example, the supply port 110 may be a square port, the operation port 120 may be a circular hole (not shown), or the supply port 110 and the operation port 120 are both square ports (as shown in fig. 4).

In some embodiments, the compact 10 further includes a cover plate 200 and a stirring member 300, the stirring member 300 configured to be mounted within the case 100 via the operation port 120, the cover plate 200 for covering the operation port 120. That is, when the cover 200 is opened, the inner cavity of the case 100 is exposed, and the stirring bar 300 can be detached from the operation port 120. The size of the sidewall of the operation opening 120 may be smaller than or equal to that of the side of the operation opening, which is not limited in this embodiment.

In some embodiments, the cover 200 and the box 100 may be connected by a threaded connection, or a clamping connection, so that the assembly and disassembly are convenient.

In some embodiments, the stirring member 300 is disposed in the cartridge 100 and is rotatable about its rotation axis X, such that when the stirring member 300 rotates, it can stir the toner in the cartridge 100 and drive the toner to move relative to the cartridge 100, so as to convey the toner in the cartridge 100 to the replenishment inlet 110.

In some embodiments, the powder box 10 further includes a first door 400 and an operating member 500, where the first door 400 is disposed at the position of the replenishment port 110, the operating member 500 is fixedly connected, e.g. clamped, to the first door 400, and the operating member 500 is slidably connected to the box body 100. Thus, when the user applies force to drive the operation member 500 to reciprocate, the first door 400 can be simultaneously driven to reciprocate relative to the box body 100. That is, the first shutter 400 is configured to open or close the supply port 110 by the operation member 500 so that the supply port 110 can be opened when the cartridge 10 is mounted on the cartridge, and the toner can be discharged from the cartridge body 100 through the supply port 110 and supplied to the cartridge. During the process of assembling and disassembling the powder box 10, the supply port 110 can be closed to avoid powder leakage.

In some embodiments, the first elastic hook 180 may be disposed on the case 100, the first door 400 is provided with a first slot 411 engaged with the first elastic hook, and when the powder case 10 needs to be disassembled and assembled, the operation member 500 drives the first door 400 to move, so that the first slot 411 is engaged with the first elastic hook 180, and thus the powder case 10 can be maintained in a state of closing the supply port 110, so as to avoid powder leakage caused by self-movement of the operation member 500.

In some embodiments, the supply port 110 and the operation member 500 are respectively located at opposite sides of the cartridge body 100, so that when the powder cartridge 10 is mounted on the cartridge, the operation member 500 can be exposed to the outside of the cartridge, and the supply port 110 is located inside the cartridge, simplifying the appearance of the cartridge.

In some embodiments, a seal (not shown), such as a foam, may be provided between the first door 400 and the outer wall of the case 100, with the seal sandwiched between the first door 400 and the outer wall of the case 100 to avoid leakage. It will be appreciated that the foam is provided with a through hole therethrough, which is opposite to the supply port 110 for discharging toner.

Compared with the double-layer structure of the powder bin and the box body in the related art, the embodiment simplifies the structure of the powder box 10 and reduces the assembly difficulty and the manufacturing cost of the powder box 10 by accommodating the toner in the box body 100. Second, compared with the same size of the case in the related art, the powder case 10 of the present embodiment can accommodate toner with larger mass, so as to reduce the number of times of replacing the powder case 10 by a user and improve the user experience. Furthermore, by slidably connecting the operation member 500 to the case 100, the reciprocation of the operation member 500 does not affect the connection between the case 100 and the cover 200, so that the connection stability between the case 100 and the cover 200 is high, and the risk of powder leakage at the connection position between the case 100 and the cover 200 is low.

In some embodiments, the operating member 500 and the operating port 120 can be located on the same side wall surface of the cartridge body 100.

Considering that when cartridge 10 is mounted on a cartridge, only the side wall of cartridge 10 where operating element 500 is located is typically exposed to the user's field of view, in some embodiments operating element 500 and operating port 120 are located on different side wall surfaces of cartridge body 100, respectively. Thus, after the powder box 10 is installed on the selenium drum, the operation opening 120 and the cover plate 200 are not exposed in the field of view of a user, and the powder box 10 and the selenium drum have a concise appearance. On the other hand, the operation member 500 does not need to be matched with the cover plate 200 covering the operation port 120, so that the matched structure is reduced, and the operation member 500 moves smoothly.

In some embodiments, the case 100 has a columnar structure extending approximately along the rotation axis X, that is, the area of the circumferential side wall surface of the case 100 along the rotation axis X is generally larger than the end surface area of the case 100, so that the operation opening 120 is located on the side wall surface of the case 100 arranged along the circumference of the rotation axis X of the stirring element 300, which may enable the operation opening 120 to have a larger caliber so as to facilitate the disassembly and assembly of the stirring element 300.

In some embodiments, the outer wall of the case 100 is provided with a first sliding groove 130 slidably engaged with the operating member 500, i.e. the operating member 500 is inserted into the first sliding groove 130, and the first sliding groove 130 extends along the rotation axis X of the stirring member 300. Thus, the user can open or close the supply port 110 by holding the operating member 500 and driving the operating member 500 to reciprocate along the rotation axis X relative to the case 100.

As for the outer wall surface of the case 100, the outer wall surface of the case 100 may be a constant diameter surface, that is, the circumferential dimension of the outer wall surface of the case 100 along the rotation axis X is not changed (not shown).

In some embodiments, the outer wall surface of the box 100 may be a reducing surface along the rotation axis X, referring to fig. 4, the box 100 includes a first box portion 140 and a second box portion 150 connected to each other, where the first box portion 140 and the second box portion 150 are distributed along the rotation axis X of the stirring member 300, the feeding port 110 is disposed on the first box portion 140, and correspondingly, the first door 400 is disposed on the outer wall surface of the first box portion 140.

The projected area of the first box portion 140 is smaller than the projected area of the second box portion 150 on a projection plane perpendicular to the rotation axis X of the stirring member 300, and the projected area of the first box portion 140 does not exceed the projected area of the second box portion 150. That is, along the rotation axis X, the case 100 has a two-stage structure, and a step structure is formed between the outer wall surface of the first case portion 140 and the outer wall surface of the second case portion 150.

Thus, the maximum radial distance of the first door 400 relative to the axis of rotation X is smaller along the vertical direction of the axis of rotation X, and the compact 10 may have a smaller circumferential dimension.

In some embodiments, the cross-sectional shape of the interior cavity of the cartridge body 100 may be circular (not shown), rectangular, etc. Along the rotation axis X, the inner cavity of the box 100 may be an equal-diameter cavity, that is, the inner cavity of the first box 140 and the inner cavity of the second box 150 have the same size (not shown), or the inner cavity of the first box 140 is smaller than the inner cavity of the second box 150, and the box 100 is a thin shell structure with equal thickness and is easy to form.

In some embodiments, the maximum radial distance of the first door 400 relative to the rotational axis X of the stirring member 300 along the vertical direction of the rotational axis X of the stirring member 300 is smaller than the radial distance between the outer wall surface of the second case portion 150 and the rotational axis X of the stirring member 300, i.e., the outer wall surface of the first door 400 and the outer wall surface of the second case portion 150 have a spacing therebetween in the vertical direction along the rotational axis X. Or in the vertical direction of the rotation axis X of the stirring member 300, the maximum radial distance of the first door 400 with respect to the rotation axis X of the stirring member 300 is equal to the radial distance between the outer wall surface of the second case portion 150 and the rotation axis X of the stirring member 300, i.e., the outer wall surface of the first door 400 is flush with the outer wall surface of the second case portion 150.

Wherein radial refers to a direction perpendicular to the rotation axis X, that is, on a projection plane perpendicular to the rotation axis X, the projection of the second cartridge body portion 150 covers the projection of the first door 400. Thus, the first bin gate 400 does not protrude outside the second box body 150, and the powder box 10 can have a smaller circumferential dimension, so that the powder box 10 is not easy to interfere with the inner wall of the loading opening of the laser printer when the powder box 10 is loaded into the selenium drum of the laser printer, difficult installation is avoided, and convenience in installation of the powder box 10 is improved.

In some embodiments, the first door 400 includes a door body 410 and a connecting portion 420, the door body 410 is slidably disposed on an outer wall surface of the first box portion 140, and the shape of the door body 410 is the same as the shape of the outer wall surface of the corresponding first box portion 140, so that the first door 400 has better fitting performance and can avoid the first door 400 having a larger size.

In some embodiments, the connecting portion 420 protrudes out of the door body 410 and extends toward the operating member 500, with the operating member 500 being connected to the connecting portion 420. The first door 400 may have different shapes according to the shape of the outer wall surface of the case 100.

Illustratively, when the cross-sectional shape of the case 100 is rectangular, the door body 410 and the connection part 420 are perpendicular to each other.

In some embodiments, the number of the connecting portions 420 may be plural, so that the connection between the first door 400 and the operation member 500 is relatively stable. And when the supply port 110 and the operation member 500 are located at different positions, the first door 400 may have different structures. For example, when the supply port 110 and the operation member 500 are located at opposite sides of the case 100, the plurality of connection portions 420 may be disposed at opposite sides of the door body 410, respectively, and the first door 400 is approximately U-shaped (as shown in fig. 3) and surrounds the outside of the first case 140.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 5 and 6, when the maximum radial distance of the first door 400 with respect to the rotation axis X is smaller than the radial distance between the outer wall surface of the second box portion 150 and the rotation axis X, the box 100 is further provided with a shielding portion 160, the shielding portion 160 is spaced from the outer wall surface of the first box portion 140, and a second sliding groove 170 is formed for the connection portion 420 to pass through, and the second sliding groove 170 extends along the sliding direction of the operating member 500, so that the shielding portion 160 covers the outer side of the connection portion 420.

Thus, when the operating member 500 drives the first door 400 to slide reciprocally, the connecting portion 420 can move reciprocally in the second sliding slot 170. And because the connecting part 420 is arranged in the second chute 170 in a penetrating way, even if the first bin gate 400 is arranged on the outer side of the box body 100 in a surrounding way, the connecting part 420 can be covered by the shielding part 160, and the connecting part 420 is not exposed on the outer side of the powder box 10, so that the appearance of the powder box 10 is simplified. Moreover, the shielding portion 160 can also protect the connection portion 420, so as to prevent the connection portion 420 from being impacted.

In some embodiments, the outer wall surface of the shielding portion 160 may be flush with the outer wall surface of the second box portion 150, so that the appearance of the powder box 10 is more compact.

In some embodiments, when the shielding portion 160 and the cover 200 are located at the same sidewall surface of the case 100, the shielding portion 160 and the cover 200 may be fixedly connected or integrally formed as one piece (as shown in fig. 6).

In some embodiments, the stirring member 300 includes a stirring shaft 310 and a plurality of stirring blades 320 mounted on the stirring shaft 310, where the axis of the stirring shaft 310 is the rotation axis X of the stirring member 300, and the number of the stirring blades 320 may be two, three or more, which is not limited in this embodiment.

In some embodiments, the stirring blade 320 may be in the shape of an arcuate sheet structure (not shown) or may be in the shape of a planar sheet structure, and this embodiment is described by taking the stirring blade 320 as a planar sheet structure as an example.

In some embodiments, to facilitate installation of the stirring element 300, the stirring element 300 may also be a split structure (not shown), for example, a plurality of stirring shafts 310 are connected end to end along the rotation axis X, and each stirring shaft 310 is provided with a stirring blade 320.

In some embodiments, at least a portion of the stirring blades 320 are helically arranged along the circumference of the stirring shaft 310. That is, the plurality of stirring blades 320 may be uniformly spirally arranged (not shown). Or some of the plurality of stirring blades 320 may be spirally arranged, and the remaining stirring blades 320 are not limited, for example, the stirring blades 320 may be coplanar with the rotation axis X (as shown in fig. 3).

Thus, by arranging the stirring blades 320 in a spiral manner, the stirring member 300 can rotate to drive the toner in the cartridge 100 to move in a spiral manner and convey the toner toward one end of the replenishment port 110.

In some embodiments, the protruding height of the stirring blade 320 protruding from the stirring shaft 310 along the vertical direction of the rotation axis X may be set as desired, for example, with a gap between the stirring blade 320 and the inner wall surface of the case 100.

In some embodiments, an end of the stirring blade 320 remote from the stirring shaft 310 abuts against an inner wall surface of the case 100. In this way, when stirring member 300 rotates, stirring blade 320 can sufficiently stir the toner in cartridge 100 to avoid toner accumulation.

In some embodiments, the stirring blade 320 may be a unitary structure and the blade material may be plastic. Plastic, and the like.

In some embodiments, the stirring blade 320 may also be a split structure, where the stirring blade 320 includes a first stirring portion and a second stirring portion, one end of the first stirring portion is connected to the stirring shaft 310, the other end is connected to the second stirring portion, and the other end of the second stirring portion abuts against the inner wall surface of the box body 100, where the hardness of the second stirring portion is less than that of the first stirring portion. Illustratively, the first stirring portion is made of plastic, and the second stirring portion is made of polyethylene terephthalate (Polyethylene terephthalate, PET).

In some embodiments, the first stirring portion and the second stirring portion may be connected to each other by bonding, clamping, or the like, which is more reliable.

Thus, the first stirring portion has a high hardness, and can sufficiently stir the toner, so that the toner cannot be effectively driven to move due to the fact that the stirring blade 320 has too low hardness. The second stirring portion has smaller hardness, and when the second stirring portion is in mutual butt joint with the box body 100, the second stirring portion can deform, so that the second stirring portion and the box body 100 are prevented from being extruded and blocked.

In some embodiments, a second door is provided on the cartridge that covers the toner inlet of the cartridge that receives toner discharged from the supply port 110.

The second bin door is provided with a convex rib corresponding to the first clamping groove 411, when the powder box 10 is installed on the selenium drum, the convex rib stretches into the first clamping groove 411 and abuts against the first elastic clamping hook 180 until the first elastic clamping hook 180 is separated from the first clamping groove 411, and the convex rib is clamped with the first clamping groove 411. Thus, when the operation member 500 drives the first bin gate 400 to move, the second bin gate can be simultaneously driven to move so as to simultaneously open the supply port 110 and the powder inlet, at this time, the supply port 110 is opposite to the powder inlet, and the toner in the toner cartridge 10 can be conveyed into the toner cartridge through the first bin gate 400 and the second bin gate.

In some embodiments, after the cartridge 10 is installed in the cartridge, a limit structure may be provided on the cartridge for clamping the second door to prevent the replenishment port 110 from closing during operation of the laser printer.
