TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of printing technology and, more particularly,
relates to a force receiving part and a toner cartridge.
BACKGROUND
[0002] A toner cartridge is a replaceable consumable which is widely used in the field of
electronic image forming. The toner cartridge is used in an image forming device to
provide developer to the image forming device. The image forming device is a device
which forms images on a recording material by an electrophotographic imaging processing
technique, and may include, for example, an electrophotographic copier, a laser printer,
an electrophotographic printer, a facsimile machine, and a word processor, and the
like.
[0003] The existing toner cartridge may mainly include a cartridge body and a force receiving
part. A large amount of developer is contained in the cartridge body having a column-structure.
The force receiving part, which is connected to the cartridge body, may be disposed
on a sidewall at one end of the cartridge body along the length direction. The force
receiving part may receive a rotational driving force from the image forming device
and then the rotational driving force may be transmitted to other parts of the toner
cartridge, such that the toner cartridge may discharge the developer outwardly. The
toner outlet, for discharging the developer, of the toner cartridge may be configured
at or near the force receiving part.
[0004] The connecting portion between the existing image forming device and the toner cartridge
may be a rotational driving force transmission part of the image forming device. A
special structure may be disposed at the rotational driving force transmission part.
A needle-like component may be at the center of the rotational driving force transmission
part and may be coplanar with the opening of the rotational driving force transmission
part. When the toner cartridge is installed on the image forming device, the rotational
driving force transmission part may move along the direction toward the toner cartridge,
and the needle-like component of the rotational driving force transmission part may
deeply enter the inside of the force receiving part accordingly. Then, a pushing component
around the inner wall of the rotational driving force transmission part may retract
along the direction away from the toner cartridge, and then the image forming device
may drag the toner cartridge to move along the direction away from the rotational
driving force transmission part, such that the outlet on the toner cartridge may be
opened and the developer may be discharged from the toner cartridge. When the image
forming operation of the image forming device stops and the toner cartridge is uninstalled
from the image forming device, the image forming device may drag the toner cartridge
to move along the direction toward to the rotational driving force transmission part
to close the outlet on the toner cartridge; the pushing component around the inner
wall of the rotational driving force transmission part may push along the direction
toward the toner cartridge; the rotational driving force transmission part may move
along the direction away from the toner cartridge; and at this point, the toner cartridge
may be removed. Due to poor structure design, non-proper use, unqualified production
materials and the like of the existing toner cartridge, it may result in that the
rotational driving force transmission part may not be engaged with the force receiving
part or may be easily disengaged after the engagement.
SUMMARY
[0005] The present disclosure provides a force receiving part and a toner cartridge, which
may prevent the toner cartridge from leaking the developer stored in the toner cartridge
during transportation and movement to cause environmental pollution.
[0006] On the one hand, the present disclosure provides a force receiving part. The force
receiving part is used for a toner cartridge, which includes a toner cartridge body
and detachably installed on an image forming device. The force receiving part includes

and the force receiving part further includes a moving element, capable of moving
relative to the support rod, where during a moving process of the moving element relative
to the support rod, in at least one position the support rod is interacted with the
moving element and the receiving element is unable to disengage from the image forming
device.
[0007] Optionally, during the moving process of the moving element relative to the support
rod, the support rod is unable to inwardly deviate along the radial direction of the
rotating axis of the toner cartridge body in at least one position under action of
the moving element.
[0008] Optionally, a first elastic element is disposed between the moving element and the
receiving element; the moving element includes an abutting portion and a pushing portion;
the image forming device is abutted against the pushing element and pushes the moving
element to move along a direction of the rotating axis of the toner cartridge body;
and the pushing element is abutted against the support rod.
[0009] Optionally, an anti-detachment trench is disposed on the support rod; the pushing
element is located inside the anti-detachment trench; and the anti-detachment trench
is capable of preventing the moving element from detaching from the force receiving
part when the moving element moves relative to the support rod.
[0010] Optionally, the transmission rod is rigidly connected to the support rod; the force
receiving part includes a transmission element; and the transmission element is connected
to the toner cartridge body and abutted against the transmission rod, such that the
transmission rod is capable of transmitting the force received by the receiving tooth
from the image forming device to the toner cartridge body.
[0011] Optionally, a locking tooth is disposed on the transmission rod to prevent the receiving
element from being detached and separated from the transmission element.

force receiving part as described above.
[0016] The present disclosure provides a force receiving part and a toner cartridge. One
end of the force receiving part may be connected to the toner cartridge body and the
other end of the force receiving part may be engaged with the rotational driving force
transmission part of the image forming device, thereby transmitting the rotational
driving force to the cartridge body. When the toner cartridge is in operation in the
image forming device, the rotational driving force transmission part may be engaged
with the force receiving part and the developer in the toner cartridge may enter the
image forming device from the toner cartridge. When the toner cartridge is uninstalled
from the image forming device, the developer in the toner cartridge may no longer
enter the outside from the toner cartridge, which may prevent the toner cartridge
from leaking the developer stored in the toner cartridge during transportation and
movement to cause environmental pollution.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
The first embodiment
[0018] A force receiving part is provided in one embodiment. Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG.
2, the force receiving part may include a moving element 110, a receiving element
120, a transmission element 130, and a first elastic element 150. Optionally, an elastic
washer 140 may also be disposed at the force receiving part.
[0019] As shown in FIG. 3, a protruding eave 131 and a protruding block 132 may be disposed
on the transmission element 130. The transmission element 130 may be connected to
the toner cartridge body. The inner wall of the toner cartridge body may be abutted
against the outer wall of the transmission element 130 or the outer wall of the toner
cartridge body may be abutted against the inner wall of the transmission element 130.
The connection manner may include, but may not be limited to, existing technologies
in the mechanical industry, such as thermoforming, gluing, riveting, and the like,
which may not be described in detail herein.
[0020] A receiving tooth 123, a support rod 124, a transmission rod 125, an anti-detachment
trench 126, a first locking tooth 122, and a second locking tooth 121 may be disposed
at the receiving element 120, where the receiving tooth 123 may receive the rotational
driving force from the image forming device; the support rod 124 may be elastic and
inwardly deviated along the radial direction of the rotating axis of the toner cartridge
body; the transmission rod 125 may be abutted against the protruding block 132, such
that the rotational driving force is transmitted from the receiving element 120 to
the transmission element 130, and further to the toner cartridge body; and the first
locking tooth 122 and the second locking tooth 121 may be used to prevent the receiving
element 120 from detaching from the transmission element 130. When the toner cartridge
works normally in the image forming device, the first locking tooth 122 may be just
abutted against the protruding eave 131 or the first locking tooth 122 has not be
abutted against the protruding eave 131. The second locking tooth 121, a backup measure,
may be used as a safety measure when the first locking tooth 122 breaks or the first
locking tooth 122 is pulled out of the position, where the first locking tooth 122
is abutted against the protruding eave, with the receiving element 120; at this point,
the second locking tooth 121 may be abutted against the protruding eave, preventing
the entire receiving element 120 from being pulled out of the transmission element
130. Optionally, in order to ensure that the receiving element 120 and the transmission
element 130 are separated smoothly, the first locking tooth 122 and the second locking
tooth 121 may not interfere with other portions of the transmission element 130. Once
a malfunction, that is, the entire receiving element 120 is pulled out of the transmission
element 130, occurs in the image forming device, it may not only affect the current
print quality, but also damage the inside of the image forming device, Meanwhile,
if the damaged toner cartridge is not properly handled, it may also affect the health
of users and even pollute air and water sources.
[0021] An abutting portion 111 and a pushing element 112 may be disposed at the moving element
110. The abutting portion 111 may be abutted against the image forming device to move
the moving element 110 along the direction of the rotating axis of the toner cartridge.
The height of the abutting portion 111 protruding along the radial direction of the
rotating axis of the toner cartridge may be greater than the height of the receiving
tooth 123 protruding along the radial direction of the rotating axis of the toner
cartridge. The pushing element 112 may enter the anti-detachment trench 126. When
the pushing element 112 is in the anti-detachment trench 126, due to the existence
of the moving element 110, the support rod 124 may not be deviated inwardly along
the radial direction of the rotating axis of the toner cartridge body.
[0022] A first elastic element 150 may be disposed between the first moving element 110
and the receiving element 120. Optionally, the first elastic element 150 may be a
spring. The moving position of the moving element 110 may be restricted by the receiving
element 120.
[0023] The process of installing the toner cartridge into the image forming device is described
in detail hereinafter. A moving part 998 on the image forming device may be located
inside the rotational driving force transmission part 999.
[0024] In the first step, as shown in FIG. 4, when the toner cartridge is not installed
in the image forming device, the pushing element 112 of the force receiving part may
be in the anti-detachment trench 126; at this point, the support rod 124 may not be
inwardly deviated along the radial direction of the rotating axis of the toner cartridge
body. The receiving element 120 and the transmission element 130 may be attached firmly
to prevent the developer stored in the toner cartridge body from flowing out. Optionally,
the elastic washer 140 may be also disposed between the receiving element 120 and
the transmission element 130 to improve the sealing performance.
[0025] In the second step, after the toner cartridge is installed in the image forming device,
since the radial distance between the abutting portion 111 and the rotating axis of
the toner cartridge body is greater than the radial distance between the receiving
tooth 123 and the rotating axis of the toner cartridge body, the moving part 998 of
the image forming device may push the abutting portion 111 to move the moving element
110 along the direction of the toner cartridge body and the pushing element 112 may
be detached from the anti-attachment trench 126, as shown in FIG. 5. At this point,
the support rod 124 may be inwardly deviated along the radial direction of the rotating
axis of the toner cartridge body.
[0026] In the third step, the rotational driving force transmission part 999 on the image
forming device may move along the direction of the toner cartridge body. Due to the
interference between the rotational driving force transmission part 999 and the driving
tooth 123, the support rod may be inwardly deviated along the radial direction of
the rotating axis of the toner cartridge body, and the receiving element 120 may be
engaged with the rotational driving force transmission part 999, as shown in FIG.
6.
[0027] In the fourth step, the moving part 998 on the image forming device may move along
the direction away from the toner cartridge body. Due to the existence of the first
elastic element 150, the moving element 110 may follow the moving part 998 to move
along the direction away from the toner cartridge body, until the pushing element
112 enters the anti-detachment trench 126, as shown in FIG. 7. At this point, since
the support rod 124 is pressed and abutted against by the abutting portion 112, the
support rod 124 may not be inwardly deviated along the radial direction of the rotating
axis of the toner cartridge body.
[0028] In the fifth step, the image forming device may drag the transmission element 130
or the toner cartridge body to move along the direction (the same direction as the
direction of the toner cartridge body in the third step) away from the rotational
driving force transmission part 999. Since the support rod 124 may not be inwardly
deviated along the radial direction of the rotating axis of the toner cartridge body
and the receiving element 120 may not be disengaged from the rotational driving force
transmission part 999, a gap may be between the receiving element 120 and the transmission
element 130 to allow the developer stored in the toner cartridge body to flow out,
as shown in FIG. 8. Then, the image forming device may transmit the rotational driving
force to the receiving element 120 through the rotational driving force transmission
part 999, and then to the transmission element 130 through the transmission rod 125
and the protruding block 132, and finally to the toner cartridge body, thereby enabling
the developer stored in the toner cartridge body to flow out continuously.
[0029] When the toner cartridge is uninstalled from the image forming device, in the state
shown in FIG. 8, the image forming device may first push the transmission element
130 or the toner cartridge body to close the gap between the receiving element 120
and the transmission element 130 to be changed to the state shown in FIG. 7; then,
the moving part 998 may move along the direction of the toner cartridge body and drive
the moving element 110 to move along the direction of the toner cartridge body to
be changed to the state shown in FIG. 6; next, the rotational driving force transmission
part 999 may move along the direction away from the toner cartridge body to be changed
to the state shown in FIG. 5; next, the moving part 998 may move along the direction
away from the toner cartridge body, the moving element 110 may move along with the
moving part 998 until the pushing element 112 interferes with the anti-detachment
trench 126 to prevent the moving element 110 from moving further away from the toner
cartridge; finally, the user may pull out the toner cartridge, and the force receiving
part may be restored to the state shown in FIG. 4.
The second embodiment
[0030] The structure of the force receiving part in one embodiment may be substantially
same as the structure of the force receiving part in the first embodiment. The difference
is that the force receiving part in one embodiment may further include a second elastic
element 160, and in order to accommodate the second elastic element 160, the shape
of the receiving element 120 may be modified.
[0031] As shown in FIG. 9, the elastic member 160 may be on the receiving element 120. Optionally,
the second elastic member 160 may be on the receiving tooth 120, and obviously, the
second elastic member 160 may also be disposed at other positions of the receiving
element 120. A trench may be disposed on the receiving tooth 123, such that the second
elastic element 160 may be accommodated in the trench. When the moving element 110
moves toward the toner cartridge body along the direction of the rotating axis of
the toner cartridge, the support rod 124, under the action of the second elastic element
160, may be inwardly deviated along the radial direction of the rotating axis of the
toner cartridge body. In one embodiment, the second elastic element 160 may be a ring-shaped
elastic element and disposed coaxially with the rotating axis of the force receiving
part. Optionally, the second elastic element 160 may be a rubber band.
[0032] Compared with the force receiving part involved in the first embodiment, for the
force receiving part in one embodiment, the second elastic element 160 may inwardly
restrict the receiving element 120 along the radial direction due to the elastic force,
such that the interference between the receiving tooth 123 and the image forming device
during the installation and uninstallation process may be reduced, and the installation
and uninstallation process of the toner cartridge may be prevented from being not
smooth due to the friction and collision between the receiving tooth 123 and the image
forming device.
[0033] Optionally, in order to prevent the aged and fractured second elastic element 160
from falling into the image forming device when the second elastic element 160 is
a rubber product, which may damage the electronic image forming quality or the image
forming device, the second elastic element may be connected to the receiving tooth
123 or the support rod 124. Bonding, thermoforming, interference fit, and the like
may be selected, which may not be described in detail herein.
The third embodiment
[0034] The structure of the force receiving part in one embodiment may be substantially
same as the structure of the force receiving part in the first embodiment. The difference
is that the structures of the moving elements 110a and the 110b in one embodiment
may be different from the structure of the moving element 110 in the first embodiment.
[0035] The process of installing the toner cartridge into the image forming device is described
in detail hereinafter. The moving part 997 on the image forming device may be located
outside the rotational driving force transmission part 999.
[0036] In the first step, as shown in FIG. 10, when the toner cartridge is not installed
in the image forming device, the pushing element 112a (112b) of the force receiving
part may be in the anti-detachment trench 126; at this point, the support rod 124
may not be inwardly deviated along the radial direction of the rotating axis of the
toner cartridge body. The receiving element 120 and the transmission element 130 may
be attached firmly to prevent the developer stored in the toner cartridge body from
flowing out. Optionally, the elastic washer 140 may be further disposed between the
receiving element 120 and the transmission element 130 to improve the sealing performance.
[0037] In the second step, after the toner cartridge is installed in the image forming device,
since the radial distance between the abutting portion 111a (111b) and the rotating
axis of the toner cartridge body is greater than the radial distance between the receiving
tooth 123 and the rotating axis of the toner cartridge body, the moving part 997 of
the image forming device may push the abutting portion 111a (111b) to move the moving
element 110a (110b) along the direction of the toner cartridge body and the pushing
element 112a (112b) may be detached from the anti-attachment trench 126, as shown
in FIG. 11. At this point, the support rod 124 may be inwardly deviated along the
radial direction of the rotating axis of the toner cartridge body.
[0038] In the third step, the rotational driving force transmission part 999 on the image
forming device may move along the direction of the toner cartridge body. Due to the
interference between the rotational driving force transmission part 999 and the driving
tooth 123, the support rod may be inwardly deviated along the radial direction of
the rotating axis of the toner cartridge body, and the receiving element 120 may be
engaged with the rotational driving force transmission part 999, as shown in FIG.
12.
[0039] In the fourth step, the moving part 997 on the image forming device may move along
the direction away from the toner cartridge body. Due to the existence of the first
elastic element 150, the moving element 110a (110b) may follow the moving part 997
to move along the direction away from the toner cartridge body. However, unlike the
first embodiment, the moving part 997 may limit the distance that the moving element
110a (110b) can move away from the toner cartridge, so that the abutting portion 112a
(112b) may not completely enter the anti-detachment trench 126, as shown in FIG. 13.
At this point, since the support rod 124 is pressed and abutted against by the abutting
portion 112a (112b) the support rod 124 may not be inwardly deviated along the radial
direction of the rotating axis of the toner cartridge body. However, if an appropriate
force is applied, the end of the support rod 124 adjacent to the anti-detachment trench
126 and the receiving tooth 123 may still be slightly and inwardly deviated along
the radial direction of the rotating axis of the toner cartridge body.
[0040] In the fifth step, the image forming device may drag the transmission element 130
or the toner cartridge body to move along the direction (the same direction as the
direction of the toner cartridge body in the third step) away from the rotational
driving force transmission part 999. The inward radial deviation of the support rod
124 along the radial direction of the rotating axis of the toner cartridge body is
limited and the force required for the disengagement between the receiving element
120 and the rotational driving force transmission part 999 may be greatly greater
than the friction between the receiving element 120 and the transmission element 130.
Therefore, a gap may be formed between the receiving element 120 and the transmission
element 130 to allow the developer stored in the toner cartridge body to flow out,
as shown in FIG. 14. Then, the image forming device may transmit the rotational driving
force to the receiving element 120 through the rotational driving force transmission
part 999, and then to the transmission element 130 through the transmission rod 125
and the protruding block 132, and finally to the toner cartridge body, thereby enabling
the developer stored in the toner cartridge body to flow out continuously.
[0041] The uninstallation process of the force receiving part from the image forming device
may be substantially same as the uninstallation process in the first embodiment, which
may not be described in detail herein. The advantage of such design in one embodiment
may be that, due to the problems such as precision and the like, the rotational driving
force transmission part in certain machine models may still move a short distance
along the direction of the toner cartridge during the process of uninstalling the
toner cartridge from the image forming device. In such way, uninstalling the toner
cartridge using the design in one embodiment may be easier than uninstalling the toner
cartridge using the design in the first embodiment.
[0042] The moving element 110a is shown in FIG. 15 and the moving element 110b is shown
in FIG. 16. Both of two moving elements may be used in the design in one embodiment.
The difference is that the abutting portion 111b for the moving element 110b is less
likely to be deformed and damaged than the abutting portion 111a of the moving element
110a, and a stiffener 113b may be disposed adjacent to the pushing element 112b. The
use of such two moving elements may mainly depend on factors, such as the size of
the force receiving part, the amount of the developer contained in the toner cartridge,
the cost constraints of different quality products, and the like.
The fourth embodiment
[0043] A moving part, including the first moving element 110c1 and the second moving element
110c2 which are independent of each other, may be mainly provided in one embodiment,
and other parts may be the same as the force receiving part in the third embodiment.
[0044] The first moving element 110c1 and the second moving element 110c2 involved in one
embodiment are shown in FIG. 17 and FIG. 18. The first moving element 110c1 and the
second moving element 110c2 may be independent of each other and may both perform
the function of the moving element 110. When the first moving element 110c1 and the
second moving element 110c2 are assembled and installed on the force receiving part,
one elastic element may be disposed between each of the two moving elements, including
the first moving element 110c1 and the second moving element 110c2, and the receiving
element 120. Due to the function of the elastic element and the restriction of the
anti-detachment trench 126 on the receiving element 120, the assembly of the first
moving element 110c1 and the second moving element 110c2 may be on a same plane at
this point, and the assembly structure may be similar to the structure of the moving
element 110b (FIG. 16) in the third embodiment. When the image forming device operates
normally, the structures of the first moving element 110c1 and the second moving element
110c2 may be substantially same as the structures of the force receiving parts in
the third embodiment, as shown in FIG. 17a and FIG. 18a at this point.
[0045] However, when the internal parts of the image forming device are broken or deformed
due to long work period, or when the internal parts of the image forming device interfere
with the moving elements due to the precision problem during the production process
of the image forming device, if the moving elements is an integrated structure, it
may cause the movement of the moving elements to be restricted, so that the moving
elements may not function normally and the toner cartridge may not be installed normally,
which may affect the electronic image formation. However, in one embodiment, if the
movement of the second moving element 110c2 is restricted, the first moving element
110c1 may still normally complete the function of the moving element to enable the
toner cartridge to work normally, as shown in FIGS. 17b and 18b; similarly, if the
movement of the first moving element 110c1 is restricted, the second moving element
110c2 may still normally complete the function of the moving element to enable the
toner cartridge to work normally, as shown in FIGS. 17c and 18c.
[0046] For example, in the fourth step of the third embodiment, when the toner cartridge
is installed on the image forming device, during the process of the moving part 997
on the image forming device moving away from the direction of the toner cartridge
body, if the movement of the second moving element 110c2 is restricted, the first
moving element 110c1 may still move normally away from the direction of the toner
cartridge body and restrict the moveable portion 120. Therefore, the moving element
120 may not be disengaged from the rotational driving force transmission part 999
on the image forming device, as shown in FIG. 19 and FIG. 20, and the fifth step may
be continued, thereby enabling the developer to flow out normally. The states shown
in FIG. 19 and FIG. 20 may be the same as the states shown in FIG. 17b and FIG. 18b
and may be similar to the states shown in FIG. 17c and FIG. 18c, which may not be
limited in detail herein.
[0047] It should be noted that, in one embodiment, when the first moving element 110c1 is
pushed toward the direction of the toner cartridge body to the maximum distance and
the first moving element 110c1 is fixed, the distance that the second moving element
110c2 may move relative to the first moving element 110c1 away from the direction
of the toner cartridge may be greater than or equal to the displacement of the second
moving element 110c2 being pushed by the moving part 997 on the image forming device,
which may ensure that in the states of FIG. 17c and FIG. 18c, the second moving element
110c2 may move a sufficient distance away from the direction of the toner cartridge
body when the movement of the first moving element 110c1 is restricted, thereby preventing
the support rod 124 on the transmission element 120 from being deviated inwardly relative
to the radial direction of the rotating axis of the toner cartridge body.
[0048] Finally, it should be noted that the above-mentioned embodiments may be merely used
to describe the technical solution of the present disclosure, rather than limiting
the present disclosure. Although the present disclosure has been described in detail
with reference to the above-mentioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should
understand that the technical solutions described in the above-mentioned embodiments
may still be modified, or a part or all of the technical features may be equivalently
replaced. Such modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding
technical solutions outside the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments
of the present disclosure.
1. A force receiving part, used for a toner cartridge that includes a toner cartridge
body and is detachably installed on an image forming device, the force receiving part
comprising:
