If the toner Cartridge 100Y that will locate shown in Figure 11 and 12 further inserts toner Cartridge butt joint unit 150Y, then the open protuberance 113A of arm contacts with the wall 164A of the open parts 165A of arm, and the open protuberance 113B of arm contacts with the wall 164C of the open parts 165B of arm.If toner Cartridge 100Y further inserts, then the open protuberance 113A of arm makes arm member 161A to the right bending, and the open protuberance 113B of arm makes arm member 161B direction bending left.
If toner Cartridge 100Y further inserts, then go out as shown in Figure 13, the front end of the diapire 121 of baffle plate 120 and toner go out that interruption-forming parts 151D contacts and are fixing.Toner container 110 moves forward, and baffle plate 120 waits behind (baffle plate 120 moves with respect to toner container 110) simultaneously, and shifts to the open position that exposes opening 115.If toner Cartridge 100Y is contained in the outer cover unit, then opening 115 is in the face of toner outlet 153.
If the open protuberance 113A of arm moves to the place ahead of the wall 164B of the open parts 165A of arm, and the open protuberance 113B of arm moves to the place ahead of the wall 164D of the open parts 165B of arm, then go out as shown in Figure 13, bandy arm member 161A and 161B stretch.Therefore, baffle plate fixed part 163A hangs on the angle of sidewall 122A and rear wall 122C formation, and baffle plate fixed part 163B hangs on the angle of sidewall 122B and rear wall 122C formation, and defining baffle 120 moves thus.
Under the situation that protuberance 112 is not set, if insert toner Cartridge 100Y in the horizontal direction obliquely, then baffle-wall 152A may contact with sidewall 122A, baffle-wall 152B may contact with sidewall 122B, perhaps sidewall 122A and 122B may with the contacting with parts the 152B except that baffle-wall 152A of outer cover unit.Therefore, baffle plate 120 may move when inserting toner Cartridge 100Y to expose opening 115, and toner may spill from opening 115.
Yet, in this illustrative embodiments, because be provided with protuberance 112, so baffle-wall 152A may contact sidewall 122A and 122B hardly with 152B in the place ahead of sidewall 122A and 122B.Therefore, baffle plate 120 can not move when inserting toner Cartridge 100Y to expose opening 115 and to spill toner from opening 115.
In addition, in this illustrative embodiments, although because it seems from the front side, protuberance 112 is overlapping in the end of vertical direction and horizontal direction and sidewall 122A and 122B, but it seems from the front side, protuberance 112 is not overlapping with the end of diapire 121 in vertical direction or horizontal direction, can contact with diapire 121 so toner goes out interruption-forming parts 151D; Thus, baffle plate 120 can move with respect to toner container 110.
In addition, under the situation about not attenuating in the front side of sidewall 122A and 122B, if insert toner Cartridge 100Y in the horizontal direction obliquely, then baffle-wall 152A may contact with sidewall 122A, baffle-wall 152B may contact with sidewall 122B, perhaps sidewall 122A and 122B may with the contacting with parts the 152B except that baffle-wall 152A of outer cover unit.Therefore, baffle plate 120 may move when inserting toner Cartridge 100Y to expose opening 115, and toner may spill from opening 115
Yet in this illustrative embodiments, sidewall 122A and 122B attenuate towards the front side in the horizontal direction, thereby baffle- wall 152A or 152B have certain distance.Specifically, sidewall 122A be formed make it with become in the face of the opposite outer surface of the inner surface of sidewall 122B more near inner surface, and sidewall 122B be formed make it with become more near inner surface in the face of the opposite outer surface of the inner surface of sidewall 122A.That is, compare with the situation that sidewall 122A and 122B do not attenuate, the end of sidewall 122A or 122B is narrower with the width that contacts between baffle-wall 152A or the 152B.Therefore, sidewall 122A or 122B may contact with baffle- wall 152A or 152B hardly.In addition, compare, can widely form the end that goes out the diapire 121 that interruption-forming parts 151D contacts with toner with the situation that sidewall 122A and 122B do not attenuate.
(removing the operation of toner Cartridge)
Description removes the operation of toner Cartridge 100Y from toner Cartridge butt joint unit 150Y.
When butt joint unit 150Y pulls out the toner Cartridge 100Y that is under the state shown in Fig. 2 along backward directions from toner Cartridge, because baffle plate 120 is fixing as illustrated in fig. 13, so the parts except baffle plate 120 of toner Cartridge 100Y all move along backward directions, therefore cover the downside of members of frame 111 by baffle plate 120.
The open protuberance 113A of arm contacts with the wall 164B of the open parts 165A of arm, and the open protuberance 113B of arm contacts with the wall 164D of the open parts 165B of arm.In this case, if further pull out toner Cartridge 100Y along backward directions, then the open protuberance 113A of arm causes arm member 161A to the right bending, and the open protuberance 113B of arm causes arm member 161B direction bending left.Therefore, the suspension absent-mindedness that baffle plate fixed part 163A produces on the angle that sidewall 122A and rear wall 122C form, and the suspension absent-mindedness that on the angle that sidewall 122B and rear wall 122C form, produces of baffle plate fixed part 163B, baffle plate 120 can move thus.
After arm member 161A and 161B bending, if further pull out toner Cartridge 100Y along backward directions, then the rear wall 122C of baffle plate 120 contacts with the end face of the rear side of members of frame 111, and baffle plate 120 together moves with members of frame 111.If further pull out toner Cartridge 100Y, then toner Cartridge 100Y separates with toner Cartridge butt joint unit 150Y.
In short, because baffle plate 120 all fixed before it covers the downside of members of frame 111, and baffle plate 120 together moves with frame portion 111 after baffle plate covers members of frame 111, so can not expose opening 115 when pulling out toner Cartridge 100Y.Therefore, prevented that toner from flowing to except that toner outlet 153 Anywhere.
