Description
Technical Field
the present invention relates to a process cartridge.
Background
The process cartridge is a cartridge which can be detachably loaded into the main body of the image forming apparatus, and which includes, as an integral unit, an electrophotographic photosensitive member and at least one of processors such as a charger, a developer, a cleaner, and the like. Since the process cartridge is detachably mountable with respect to the apparatus main body, maintenance of the apparatus is facilitated. An electrophotographic image forming apparatus adopting an electrophotographic image forming method operates as follows: an electrophotographic photosensitive member uniformly charged by a charger is selectively exposed by light of an image forming apparatus to form an electrostatic latent image, the latent image is developed with toner by a developer to form a toner image, and the formed toner image is transferred onto a recording medium by a transfer device to form an image on the recording material.
Generally, a photosensitive assembly of the process cartridge is provided with a power receiving device, which is engaged with a machine driving device in the image forming apparatus to drive the photosensitive assembly to rotate so as to drive the entire process cartridge to operate. However, the photosensitive member needs to be detachably mounted in the image forming apparatus along with the process cartridge, and therefore, when the process cartridge is required to be removed from the image forming apparatus, the power receiving means is disengaged from the machine driving means to ensure that the process cartridge is smoothly removed from the image forming apparatus; when the processing box is installed in the image forming device for printing operation, the power receiving device is required to be meshed with the machine driving device, and the photosensitive assembly is ensured to smoothly receive driving force.
In the prior art, a plurality of manufacturers adopt a telescopic power receiving device, a control mechanism for controlling the power receiving device to stretch is arranged on one side of a processing box to realize that the power receiving device is engaged with a machine driving device when the processing box works and is disengaged from the machine driving device when the processing box is disassembled, the patent with the publication number of CN204044516 of the applicant filed earlier discloses a processing box, one side of the processing box is provided with a control mechanism which is a pressing rod, when the processing box is installed in an image forming device, the pressing rod is matched with a track of the image forming device so as to control the stretching of the power receiving device, the side end of the processing box is also provided with a top block which automatically jacks up the processing box when the image forming device is opened and controls the power receiving device to retract so as to facilitate the disassembly of the processing box from the image forming device, however, the above-mentioned structure has the disadvantages that the process cartridge is often required to be mounted in different image forming apparatuses, and there are some image forming apparatuses without a portion for supporting the top block due to slight differences in the structure of each image forming apparatus, so that the above-mentioned process cartridge cannot be smoothly mounted and dismounted in such image forming apparatuses, and there is a problem of insufficient versatility; in addition, the telescopic stroke of the power receiving device which is telescopic is often limited by the stroke of the control mechanism, and when the power receiving protrusion of the power receiving device is approximately aligned with or parallel to the direction during installation or removal of the power receiving device under the condition that the telescopic stroke of the power receiving device is limited, the power receiving protrusion interferes with the driving head in the image forming apparatus, and the process cartridge cannot be normally installed or removed.
