Description

旋转力驱动组件、处理盒及图像形成装置 技术领域
本发明涉及电子照相技术领域,尤其涉及一种旋转力驱动组件、处理盒及图像形成装置。
背景技术
电子照相成像设备作为图像形成装置中的一种,比如激光打印、LED打印机、激光复印机,凭借着打印成本的优势,非常受用户的青睐。现有技术中的激光打印机通常设置内安装有可拆卸的处理盒,处理盒上设置有旋转元件,这些旋转元件至少包括显影元件、感光元件、充电元件中的一种,这些旋转元件作为处理盒的必要组成部分,在安装至激光打印机之后,能被激光打印机内的驱动机构施加的旋转力直接或者间接的驱动。
如图1、图2所示,为现有的一种可拆卸安装至图像形成装置内的处理盒100,在处理盒100的一端设置有一个扭曲的突起101,而图像形成装置内设置有一个带有凹部的旋转力驱动头102,图像形成装置内带有凹槽的旋转力驱动头102与一个凸轮机构103连接,凸轮机构103与图像形成装置内壁之间有一个弹性元件104,凸轮机构103还通过连杆105与图像形成装置的盖子110连接;这样当图像形成装置的盖子110打开时,盖子110会带动连杆105拉动凸轮机构103,凸轮机构103就会内壁挤压弹簧,延伸轴向(A方向)内缩,然后通过凸轮机构103带动旋转力驱动头102也向内缩;这样处理盒100安装至图像形成装置内时,突起101就不会与旋转力接收部件102产生干涉;当处理盒100安装完成之后,图像形成装置的盖子100就会释放对连杆105的作用力,这样凸轮机构103、旋转力驱动头102就会在弹性元件104的作用下伸出来,这样处理盒100的突起101就可以与旋转力驱动头102内的凹部配合,接收来自图像形成装置的驱动力。
但是上述技术方案存在一些问题:图像形成装置内需要设置专门设置连杆、凸轮机构、弹性元件等,较复杂,而且随着图像形成装置的使用, 盖子很容易会松动,会使得处理盒在接收驱动力的过程中受到影响。为了解决这些不足,现有技术提供了另一种万向旋转的旋转力接收部件。
如图3所示,提供了一种处理盒1,该处理盒1端部设置有一个可以转动的旋转力接收部件61,即旋转力接收部件61的轴线相对于被旋转力接收部件61带动旋转的感光元件1003轴线可以相互倾斜;处理盒的安装过程是:如图4(a)所示,处理盒进入图像形成装置前和安装过程中,旋转力接收部件61在重力作用下会处于与感光元件1003倾斜状态,安装完成之后,如图4(b)所示,旋转力接收部件61的轴线与感光元件1003同轴的状态,这样处理盒1安装完成之后,旋转力接收部件61可以传递动力。因此,可以将图像形成装置内的旋转力驱动头102配合的连杆、凸轮机构取消,简化图像形成装置的结构。
发明人在实现本发明的过程中发现,万向旋转的旋转力接收部件会存在:由于制造公差,图4(b)中的状态可能达不到完全同轴的效果,影响产品的打印质量。

具体实施方式
为了使本领域技术人员更加容易、清楚地理解本发明涉及的技术方案,下面结合具体的实施例方式进行说明。
本发明的提供的技术方案包括一种处理盒,处理盒上设置有一个旋转力驱动组件,旋转力驱动组件上有一个与图像形成装置内旋转力驱动头啮合的旋转力接收部件,旋转力接收部件可以将接收的驱动力传递至处理盒内的旋转元件,比如齿轮或者显影元件或者感光元件等;旋转力接收部件在处理盒安装过程中,旋转力接收部件能够偏离初始位置,并且旋转力接收部件的轴线在移动过程中始终保持与初始位置平行,同时旋转力接收部件轴向方向上会向处理盒壳体内移动;这样处理盒安装至图像形成装置中,旋转力接收部件能够灵活地与图像形成装置内的旋转力驱动头啮合。
上述处理盒可以是包括感光元件的;也可以是不包括感光元件的,不包括感光元件的处理盒亦称显影剂盒。以下提供多种不同的实施例,通过调整机构,使得旋转力接收部件安装过程中能够实现上述技术方案。
实施例一
如图5~图7所示,实施例一提供的一种处理盒1包括壳体2,壳体包括框架主体和位于框架主体两侧的侧盖4,框架主体内设置有显影剂容纳腔室、显影元件5;在所述处理盒1的端部设置有旋转力驱动组件6,齿轮组件,齿轮组件包括与旋转力驱动组件连接的齿轮7a,与齿轮7a连接 的显影元件齿轮7c和送粉元件齿轮7b,其中齿轮7a优选地作为一种接收旋转力驱动组件6旋转力矩的旋转元件;旋转力驱动组件6包括:接收动力外部动力的旋转力接收部件61;将旋转力接收部件61接收的驱动力传递至处理盒内旋转元件的动力传递部,并且旋转力接收部件61相对于所述动力传递部可以移动。优选地,动力传递部为一个柱体66,且柱体66上设置一个通孔(未示出),并且在柱体的通孔上***销,通过销将动力传递至齿轮(类似现有技术图4中的方案),或者在齿轮7a内壁延伸一个突起(未示出),让柱体66与齿轮7a内壁的突起抵接的方式,让柱体66向齿轮7a传递动力;设置在侧盖4上的导轨,导轨上有与动力传递部轴线相互倾斜的斜面41、42;以及位于旋转力接收部件61和导轨之间的调整机构63,调整机构63设置成使得旋转力接收部件61在相对于动力传递部移动时,在旋转元件轴向和垂直于轴向方向上都有位移。
旋转力接收部件61相对于动力传递部移动的方式,具体地如图7~图9所示,旋转力接收部件61可以位于与柱体66同轴的第一种状态和不同轴的第二种状态。图8为旋转力接收部件与主体66同轴的第一状态,旋转力接收部件尖端距离齿轮7a上一个面的距离为L1。图9为旋转力接收部件61与柱体不同轴的第二状态,旋转力接收部件61在驱动力调整构件63沿着导轨移动的过程中,相对于第一种状态,在旋转力接收部件61轴向方向,旋转力接收部件61朝处理盒壳体方向缩进L1-L2(即L1与L2的差值)的距离,在垂直于旋转力接收部件61轴向的方向上,旋转力接收部件61朝远离齿轮7a,偏离L3的距离,并且旋转力接收部件61的轴线一直与齿轮7a的轴线平行。
如图7和8所示,优选地,旋转力驱动组件6包括旋转力接收部件61,调整机构63,限位部件62,十字连轴器,其中,十字连轴器包括上端部64、中间滑块65、和柱体66。旋转力接收部件61包括两个与图像形成装置内旋转力驱动头102上驱动销1001b、1001c配合的爪611、612,整个旋转力接收部件61大致成扁平的U型状,这样U型底部能够更好地与旋转力驱动头102的头部1001a抵接,而扁平状更利于处理盒安装时,旋转力接收部件61与旋转力驱动头102啮合。十字连轴器的上端部64有一个突起,可以***至旋转力接收部件61上的凹孔613内,当然可以将上端 部64设置成与旋转力接收部件61一体成型。中间滑块65的上表面设置有一个与上端部64配合的第一凹槽,下表面设置有一个垂直于第一凹槽的第二凹槽,第二凹槽与柱体66配合;这样在十字连轴器的作用下,旋转力接收部件可以在平面上沿着齿轮7a轴线360度移动。驱动力调整构件63包括套接在上端部64圆柱部分上的圆套631,从圆套631侧面延伸出的两个倾斜的凸台,两个倾斜的凸台分别具有凸台斜面632、633。在柱体66和齿轮7a的内壁之间设置有复位部件,复位部件可以让旋转力接收部件61和十字连轴器保持在第一状态,复位部件可以是弹簧、拉簧或者磁铁等元件,本实施例中优选地是一个锥簧67,锥簧67的一端与柱体66的内侧抵接,另一端与齿轮7内的台阶面7a1抵接。限位部件62包括一个内圈,所述内圈设置有圆弧段621,在圆弧段621的两个端部分别设置有内圈平面622、625,并且内圈斜面624、623分别从所述两个内圈平面622、625向内延伸。这样旋转力驱动组件装配完成之后,内圈斜面632位于斜面41和内圈斜面624之间,而凸台斜面633位于斜面42和内圈斜面623之间,圆套631套接在上端部64的外部;当处理盒1安装至图像形成装置之前,旋转力接收部件61位于图8中的第一种状态,在处理盒安装过程中,旋转力接收部件会与旋转力驱动头102抵接,这样旋转力接收部件61就接受一个外力的作用,沿着与安装方向相反的方向移动,在旋转力接收部件61移动的过程中,调整机构63也接收一个同样的外力,并且调整机构63在外力作用下,会沿着前述导轨移动,具体地凸台斜面632、633分别沿着斜面41、42移动,这样就将调整机构63接收的、与安装方向相反的力,分解成沿着旋转元件轴向、垂直于轴向方向两个方向的力,旋转力接收部件61在驱动机构63的作用下,就会处于前述第二种状态;而限位部件62可以更好地让调整机构63沿着预定的导轨移动;当处理盒安装完成之后,旋转力驱动头102和旋转力接收部件61在轴向方向上大致同轴的状态,这样旋转力接收部件61就会在前述复位部件的作用下,处于第一种状态,并且可以接收来自旋转力驱动头102的旋转动力。当处理盒1从图像形成装置拔出时,旋转力接收部件61同样会从传递动力时的第一种状态,变成第二种状态,旋转力接收部件61在旋转元件轴向方向上向处理盒框架侧缩进,才不会出现与旋转力接收部件61的干涉, 这样处理盒能顺利地拔出;当处理盒完全拔出之后,旋转力接收部件61又会在前述复位部件的作用下,处于第一种状态。
如图7所示,优选地,处理盒1还包括一个将防止柱体66脱出的卡扣68,其中柱体66可以***至齿轮7a的齿轮通孔7a2内,并且柱体66的外侧尺寸小于齿轮通孔7a2的尺寸,卡扣68的内侧尺寸小于柱体66的外侧尺寸,并且大于齿轮通孔7a2的尺寸;这样可以先把柱体66***齿轮通孔7a2内,然后将卡扣68卡接在柱体66上,因此通过卡扣68可以使得柱体66不会从齿轮7a上脱出。
需要说明的是,十字连轴器的作用是为了更好配合旋转力接收部件61在第二种状态时,让旋转力接收部件61的轴线始终平行于旋转元件的轴线;并且前述上端部64可以与旋转力接收部件61一体成型。
实施例二
实施例二提供的一种处理盒同样包括壳体,壳体也包括框架主体和位于框架主体两侧的侧盖,显影剂容纳腔室、显影元件;旋转力驱动组件,齿轮组件,齿轮组件包括与旋转力驱动组件连接的齿轮,与齿轮连接的显影元件齿轮和送粉元件齿轮,其中齿轮优选地作为一种接收驱动组件的旋转元件;并且驱动力调整构件设置成使得旋转力驱动组件中的旋转力接收部件61在相对于动力传递部移动时,在旋转元件轴向和垂直于轴向方向上都有位移。处理盒还包括一个锥簧67,锥簧67的一端与柱体66的内侧抵接,另一端与齿轮7a内的台阶面7a1抵接;以及一个防止柱体66从齿轮7a上脱出的卡扣68。但是不同点在于:
如图10~12所示,调整机构63相对于齿轮7a的轴线垂直移动,旋转力驱动组件6至少一部分与导轨上斜面14a、14b抵接。具体地,如图10所示,调整机构63包括一个套接在旋转力接收部件61底部(驱动组件组装好之后,旋转力接收部件61的底部即上端部64)的第二圆套63a,以及对称设置在圆套侧壁的第二凸台63b、63c。如图10和11所示,旋转力驱动组件还设置有一个限位部件62,限位部件62设置有与凸台配合的限位平面62a、62b,并且调整机构上第二凸台63b、63c的平面(即凸台的上表面)可以相对于所述限位部件的限位平面62a、62b滑动。如图12所示,导轨包括设置在侧盖4上的第二斜面4a、4b。
当处理盒的旋转力驱动组件组装好之后,和实施例相似的柱体66同轴地与齿轮7a设置,在复位部件作用下,让旋转力接收部件61与齿轮7a同轴布置;当处理盒安装或者拔出过程中,旋转力接收部件61接收来自图像形成装置内旋转力驱动头102的外力,同时调整机构63沿着限位部件62预定的方向移动,通过调整机构63旋转力接收部件61底部的十字联轴器上端部64和旋转力接收部件61一起移动;并且上端部64或者中间滑块65与侧盖4上的第二斜面4a、4b抵接,这样旋转力接收部件61和实施例一相似处于第二种状态。
实施例三
如图13所示,优选地,实施例三提供一种图像形成装置1000包括:包括容纳处理盒的框体(处理盒容纳部分),框体包括中间轴,整个框体可以绕中间轴的轴线旋转,两个圆盘固定设置在中间轴的两侧,圆盘设置有齿轮,齿轮与杆1006两侧的齿轮配合,通过杆1006两侧的齿轮,可以带动整个框体旋转;而且杆1006由金属材质做成,可以增加框体的硬度;并且圆盘上设置有框体分成四个小框体的隔板,这样就可以将四个处理盒1a、1b、1c、1d同时安装在框体内,即可以同时安装四种颜色,比如黑色(BK)、蓝色(C)、红色(M)、黄色(Y)四种处理盒(显影剂盒);这样该图像形成装置1000就可以进行彩色打印。
图像形成装置1000还包括设置在框体右下方的感光元件(亦称感光鼓)1003,位于感光元件1003和框体下方的转印带1004,转印带1040将需要显影的图像在定影装置1005的配合下,转印至打印介质,比如纸张;以及电机,接收电机动力的旋转力驱动头;和设置在框体内的处理盒,处理盒可以为实施例一或者实施例二中提供的处理盒;处理盒安装至图像形成装置1000内之后,旋转力驱动头就可以像处理盒的旋转力接收部件施加旋转驱动力。
需要说明的是,图像形成装置还可以是单色成像的;处理盒可以设置成带有感光元件的一体盒。
实施例四
为了使本领域技术人员更加容易、清楚地理解本发明涉及的技术方案,下面结合图14至图26的具体的实施例方式进行说明。
图14为本发明的主要的实施方式。图14中,处理盒1包括显影单元12以及清洁单元11,另外,处理盒1内至少还设置有显影剂,充电元件,显影元件以及感光元件。当将处理盒1安装进入图像形成装置(图中未示出)中之后,通过图像形成装置驱动处理盒内的旋转部件旋转,如通过图像形成装置内的动力传递部件21与设置在处理盒内的旋转力驱动组件6啮合,当图像形成装置启动之后,由动力传递部件21将旋转动力传递给旋转力驱动组件6,从而使处理盒1内的旋转元件旋转,如使旋转元件之一的感光元件旋转,再通过感光元件或感光元件上设置的部件驱动处理盒内的其它旋转元件(如充电元件、显影元件等),最终达到使处理盒1内的显影剂转印到打印介质上的目的。
如图14所示,坐标Y方向为处理盒1的纵向方向,图像形成装置中设置有引导处理盒1安装的轨道(图中未示出),具体地,该轨道会引导处理盒1沿着与处理盒的纵向方向垂直的方向,即沿着坐标X方向进行安装。其中,旋转力驱动组件6沿处理盒1的纵向方向设置在处理盒1的一端,旋转力驱动组件6的至少一部分露出在处理盒1纵向方向的端部,在图像形成装置内与处理盒1的安装方向相垂直的方向上设置有动力传递部件21,并与处理盒1设置有旋转力驱动组件6的端部相对。当处理盒1安装进入图像形成装置内,旋转力驱动组件6与动力传递部件21啮合传递动力。所述的旋转力驱动组件6包括啮合部分,调整部分以及中间连接部分;所述的啮合部分用以接收外部驱动力;所述的调整机构使所述啮合部分相对于所述处理盒的纵向方向上具有位移量,并使所述啮合部分的轴线相对与所述感光元件的轴线具有基本平行的偏移量;所述的中间连接部分,在啮合部分和感光元件轮毂之间传递扭矩。
以下更具体地介绍本发明所在的旋转力驱动组件6,图15即为本发明的旋转力驱动组件6的立体视图,图16为旋转力驱动组件6的***视图,图16所示,旋转力驱动组件6包括旋转力接收部件61,侧盖4,楔形底座133,卡簧134,柔性轴135,弹簧136以及感光元件轮毂137,本实施例中,将旋转力驱动组件6设置在感光元件111的其一端部,所述感光元件轮毂137与所述感光元件1003同轴并固定连接,在不受外部作用力的情况下,所述的旋转力接收部件61的轴向与所述的感光元件轮毂137的轴 线为同轴设置。所述的啮合部分为旋转力接收部件61,所述的调整机构包括侧盖5,楔形底座133以及弹簧136,所述的中间连接部分至少有一部分设置成是可扰性的,所述的可扰性部分为所述柔性轴135。

图20所示的柔性轴135包括主体部分1351,第一端部1352和第二端部1353;其中,主体部分1351为圆柱形,第一端部1352和第二端部1353被切割成方形以与所述感光元件轮毂137端部的方形孔1374配合以及与所述旋转力接收部件61内的方形的盲孔1312配合。所述的方形孔1374可以设置在所述柔性轴135的两端,相应地可将所述的旋转力接收部件61的端部做成可与所述方形孔1374配合的方形柱,相应地在所述的感光元件轮毂137内设置与所述方形孔1474配合的方形柱。

图17示出了侧盖4,图24为所述侧盖4的立体视图,所述侧盖4中部具有侧盖中空部421,用以放置楔形底座133。所述的侧盖中空部421相对侧的内表面上设置有两个侧盖凹陷部分422a以及422b,用以放置楔形底座133上设置的底座突起1332a和1332b。
图25所示为所述侧盖4从底面方向的视图,如图示,所述的侧盖中空部421的内表面包含有一对处于相对侧的侧盖倾斜面421a以及421b,此两个侧盖倾斜面用于与所述的楔形底座的底座面1333a以及1333b配合;所述的侧盖中空部421的内表面还包含有相对的两个侧盖平面421c以及421d;分别在侧盖平面421c和421d上设置图24所述的侧盖凹陷部分422a以及422b,并如图25中虚线圆所示部分;侧盖凹陷部分422a与422b结构相同,位置相对地分别设置在侧盖平面421c和421d上,但相对位置不在同一连线上,而是相互错开设置;所述的侧盖凹陷部分的形状为上端开口比下端开口窄的类似倒三角形的结构,如图26剖面视图所示;侧盖凹陷部分422a包括镜像对称的凹陷倾斜面422a1以及422a2,并在此两个凹陷倾斜面的镜像对称所参照的中轴线上设置朝向侧盖中空部421内部凸出的突起423a;由于侧盖凹陷部分422b的结构与422a相同,所述的侧盖凹陷部分422b具有对称的凹陷倾斜面422b1以及422b2,还设置有突起423b。
图26所示为所述侧盖4的剖面视图B-B,侧盖凹陷部422b的形状以及在侧盖上的位置如虚线圆部分所示,L为侧盖4的中心线;突起423b的上 部为尖端部分,具有突起顶点423b1,以及位于突起顶点423b1两侧的顶点倾斜面423b2和423b3以及两侧的顶点平面423b4和423b5。
通过对旋转力驱动组件6的各部件的结构的理解,那么旋转力驱动组件6的装配关系可以得到理解。具体地,如图17所示为旋转力驱动组件6的装配示意图,先将楔形底座133安装其形状的匹配关系装入侧盖4的侧盖中空部421中,其中,楔形底座133装入侧盖4的侧盖中空部421之后的匹配关系如图27的A-A剖视图所示,楔形底座133的底座突起1332a以及1332b分别位于侧盖4的侧盖凹陷部分422a以及422b中;然后将旋转力接收部件61装入楔形底座133的底座通孔1331中,将卡簧134卡进卡槽1314中,以使旋转力接收部件61与楔形底座133相对固定;然后将柔性轴135的一端***感光元件1003的方形孔1374中,将弹簧136套在柔性轴135上,再将先前装配好的楔形底座133和旋转力接收部件61以及侧盖4作为一整体安装到感光元件轮毂137上,旋转力接收部件的盲孔1312需对准柔性轴135的另一端进行安装,再通过螺钉将侧盖固定在处理盒上,以将旋转力驱动组件6固定在处理盒1上。通过柔性轴135的端部与感光元件轮毂137和楔形底座133的底座通孔1331之间的配合可以达到传递动力的目的。装配完之后,感光元件轮毂137与感光元件1003同轴并相对固定,柔性轴135和弹簧136被设置在感光元件轮毂137以及旋转力接收部件61之间,弹簧136一端与感光元件轮毂137的轮毂凸台1372抵接,另一端与楔形底座133的下底面抵接,装配好之后,弹簧136具有一定的压缩量可使楔形底座133与侧盖4的内部中空部分保持接触,并且楔形底座133与侧盖4可相对滑动,两者相对滑动的同时带动旋转力接收部件61沿着其自身的轴线L2方向具有位移量,并使轴线L2与感光元件轮毂的轴线L1(所述感光元件轮毂的轴线与所述感光元件的轴线同轴)可产生相对基本平行的偏移;在楔形底座133与侧盖4没有相对滑动之前,楔形底座上底座突起1332a与1332b分别位于侧盖4上的突起423b和423a的突出顶点423b1和423a1的上方;在楔形底座133与侧盖4相对滑动的同时,楔形底座上底座突起1332a与1332b可同时相对于凹陷倾斜面422b1和422a2滑动,或者同时相对于凹陷倾斜面422b2和422a1滑动。
一种图像形成装置,包括打印机和上述处理盒,以下更具体地说明如 何将处理盒安装至打印机中。图28a至图28d所示为将处理盒安装至打印机中,位于处理盒1的端部的旋转力接收部件61与位于打印机内的动力传递部件21啮合的过程示意图,图中,箭头所示方向为处理盒1的安装方向(所述安装方向与所述处理盒的纵向方向垂直)。当沿着箭头所示方向将处理盒1安装至打印机中,旋转驱动力接收部件61的端部触碰到设置在打印机中的动力传递部件21的端部,此时,两者处于发生干涉阶段,如图28b所示;随着将处理盒1进一步进行安装,通过旋转力接收部件61与动力传递部件21之间的相互作用力,使旋转力接收部件61促使楔形底座133相对于侧盖4发生滑动,此时,旋转力接收部件61会朝着与处理盒1安装方向相反的方向偏移,即楔形底座133的底座斜面1333a与与之啮合的侧盖倾斜面421a发生相对移动;此时,设置在楔形底座上的底座凸起1333b沿着侧盖4内的侧盖倾斜面422b2滑动,底座凸起1333a沿着侧盖倾斜面422a1滑动;旋转力接收部件61的轴线F2与感光元件轮毂137的轴线F1发生平行偏移,并且旋转接收部件61在其自身轴线F1的方向上沿着与旋转力接收部件在处理盒上伸出端相反的方向发生回缩,并逐渐使得柔性轴135发生一定的弯曲变形,如图28b和图28c所示;直到旋转力接收部件61的端部与动力传递部件21避让开,如图28c所示,通过弹簧136的回弹作用使旋转力接收部件61伸出并通过其端部的卡爪1311与动力传递部件21端部的驱动头凸起211啮合,此时,柔性轴恢复原始状态,如图28d,所示从而使处理盒安装到位。启动打印机,便可通过动力传递部件21将动力传递至旋转力接收部件61,再通过柔性轴将旋转动力传递至感光元件轮毂137,再将动力传递给处理盒中的旋转元件。
图29a至图29d所示为将处理盒从打印机中拆卸,设置在处理盒端部的旋转力接收部件61与设置在打印机中的动力传递部件21脱离啮合的过程示意图。图29a所示为旋转力接收部件61与动力传递部件21仍处于啮合的状态;当沿图中的箭头方向拆卸处理盒,通过动力传递部件21与旋转力接收部件61的相互作用,使得旋转力接收部件61促使楔形底座133相对于侧盖4发生滑动;此时,图29a中楔形底座133的倾斜面1321b相对于与其接触的侧盖4内的侧盖斜面433b发生滑动,如图29b所示;同时设置在楔形底座上的凸起1332b沿着侧盖4内的凹陷倾斜面422b1滑动, 凸起1332a沿着凹陷倾斜面422a2滑动;在旋转力接收部件61与动力传递21的相互作用下,使旋转力接收部件61逐渐回缩,并且其轴线F2相对与感光元件轮毂137的轴线F1发生平行偏移,随着处理盒1拆离打印机,进一步促使柔性轴135发生弯曲变形,如图29b和18c所示,直到旋转力接收部件61与动力传递部件完全脱离啮合,如图29c所示;在弹簧136的作用下使旋转力接收部件61恢复原始状态,所述的柔性轴也恢复原始状态,如图29d所示;最后,处理盒1被拆离打印机。
图30至图33所示为旋转力驱动组件与打印机的动力传递部件啮合的过程中所述楔形底座与所述侧盖的相对运动的示意图,为便于对相对运动的情况进行说明,此处仅将楔形底座133标示为虚线,其余部件为剖面视图。如图30所示,所示虚线部分为楔形底座133,所示侧盖4设置在所示感光元件轮毂137的端部,所述楔形底座设置于所述侧盖4的中部;所述侧盖4上设置突起423a,所述楔形底座133的侧面上设置有底座突起1332a,所述的底座突起1332a在所述的侧盖4上设置的侧盖凹陷部分422b内相对滑动;当旋转力驱动组件处于不受外力作用的状态下,所述的楔形底座133上的底座突起1332a处于所述侧盖4上的突起423a的上方。
当将处理盒安装进入打印机,所述旋转力驱动组件上的旋转力接收部件61与所述打印机内的动力传递部件21抵触,两个部件抵触之间产生作用力作用于所述的旋转力接收部件61,所述的旋转力接收部件61再作用与所述楔形底座133,所述楔形底座133便产生如图31所示的相对于所述侧盖4的滑动;即所述楔形底座133的底座斜面1333a与侧盖4上的侧盖倾斜面421a配合并相对滑动,所述楔形底座133上的底座突起1332a与所述侧盖4上的突起部分上的倾斜面423a3产生相对的滑动;因此,所述的楔形底座133便可带动所述旋转力接收部件61相对与所述的感光元件轮毂137的轴线平行偏移;并且倾斜面421a与倾斜面423a3相互平行,可以限制楔形底座133沿与感光元件轮毂137的轴向垂直的方向的摆动。
当所述楔形底座133与所述侧盖4相对滑动到一定范围之后,所述楔形底座133的倾斜面1333a的下端部与所述感光元件轮毂137的内表面1375接触,如图32所示。
如图33所示,所述的楔形底座133的倾斜面1333a与所述感光元件 轮毂137的内表面接触后,阻挡了所述的楔形底座133与所述感光元件轮毂137的轴线的相对偏移,所述的旋转力接收部件61进一步受到作用力,并作用于所述的楔形底座133,所述的楔形底座133的底座斜面1333a抵接于所述感光元件轮毂内表面1375上,所述楔形底座的底座突起1332a与所述侧盖上的突起423a上的侧面423a4接触;如此,可以通过两个平行面1375和423a4约束楔形底座133的滑动,使所述的楔形底座133在与所述感光元件轮毂的轴线平行的方向上具有位移量。
图34所示为图30至图33的所示的剖视图的相反方向的剖视图,图示虚线部分为所述楔形底座133。如图34所示,所述的楔形底座133的另一与所述凸起1332a所在的平面相对的平面上还设置有与突起1332a不对称设置的具有相同结构的突起1332b;同样,在所述侧盖132的中空部分上还设置有与所述的凹陷部分1322b所在的平面相对的平面上相同结构的凹陷部分1322a;所述的突起1332a在凹陷部分1322b内相对滑动的同时,所述的突起1332b在所述的凹陷部分1322a内相对滑动。其与图30至图33相同的运动情况在此不再累述。
通过上述的方式,可以约束楔形底座与侧盖相对滑动的轨迹,并且防止楔形底座在滑动的过程中发生倾斜或者摆动,保证旋转力驱动组件工作的稳定性。
当将所述处理盒从所述打印机拆离时,所述设置于打印机内的动力传递部件21作用于所述旋转力接收部件61;进而,所述的旋转力接收部件61作用于所述的楔形底座133并使楔形底座133相对于所述侧盖4滑动,如图35所示。此时,所述楔形底座133上的另一倾斜面1333b与所述侧盖132的另一倾斜面1322b1相对滑动,所述楔形底座的底座突起1332a与所述侧盖4的突起423a上的倾斜面423a2以及另一侧平面1323a5相对滑动,所述的楔形底座133的活动同以上所述,受到面1323a2与1322b1,以及面1323a5与1375之间的约束,可防止所述的楔形底座133在滑动的过程中发生倾斜或者摆动,保证旋转力驱动组件工作的稳定性。同样地,所述的突起1332b在所述的凹陷部分422a中也具有相同的相对滑动的情况,在此不再累述。
以上情况在旋转力接收部件受到外部作用力时出现,当外作用力消失 后,所述的楔形底座可在弹簧的作用下恢复原始状态。最后应说明的是:以上各实施例仅用以说明本发明的技术方案,而非对其限制;尽管参照前述各实施例对本发明进行了详细的说明,本领域的普通技术人员应当理解:其依然可以对前述各实施例所记载的技术方案进行修改,或者对其中部分或者全部技术特征进行等同替换;而这些修改或者替换,并不使相应技术方案的本质脱离本发明各实施例技术方案的范围。
