As described above, since the first guide groove 211i is provided in the circumferential direction of the power receiving part 211, the end user can rotate the blocking piece 22 in the rotation direction of the power receiving part 211 regardless of the rotation direction when rotating the blocking piece 22, and can also rotate the blocking piece 22 in the direction opposite to the rotation direction of the power receiving part 211, which is simple and easy for the end user.
According to the power transmission device 2, the present invention also provides an assembling method of the power transmission device 2, which specifically comprises:
step one, retracting the power transmission piece 211d, rotating the blocking piece 212, and blocking the power transmission piece 211d from extending by using the blocking piece 212;
step two, inserting the power receiving assembly 21 including the power transmission member 211d in the retracted state into the driving gear;
and step three, moving the blocking piece 212 until the power transmission piece 211d is not blocked by the blocking piece 212 any more, and enabling the power transmission piece 211d to extend out under the urging action of the urging piece 211f and to be combined with the driving gear 22.
The first step may be performed by the manufacturer of the developing cartridge C, and the end user may perform the second and third steps to complete the assembly of the power transmission device 2.
According to the assembling method of the above power transmission device 2, there can be further extended a method of using a developing cartridge detachably mountable to an image forming apparatus having a power output member, the power receiving assembly 21 and the developing cartridge main body 10 being separated from each other before the developing cartridge is mounted to the image forming apparatus, and in the developing cartridge main body 10, the driving gear 22 being fixedly mounted in advance, specifically:
step one, before the developing cartridge is mounted to the image forming apparatus, the power receiving assembly 21 including the power transmission member 211d in the retracted state is inserted into the driving gear;
and step two, moving the blocking piece 212 until the power transmission piece 211d is not blocked by the blocking piece 212 any more, and the power transmission piece 211d extends out and is combined with the driving gear 22.
And step three, mounting the developing box to the imaging device, and combining the power receiving part with the power output part.
Generally, the driving gear 22 is fixedly mounted in advance in the developing cartridge main body 10 or at one longitudinal end of the rotary member 11 rotatably mounted in the developing cartridge housing 1, and during transportation of the developing cartridge C, the driving gear 22 does not fall off, so that a manufacturer only needs to package and transport the power receiving assembly 21 with the power transmission member 211d in the retracted state together with the developing cartridge main body 10, and at this time, the power receiving assembly 21 and the developing cartridge main body 10 are separated from each other, when an end user needs to use the developing cartridge C, only needs to insert the power receiving assembly 21 into the developing cartridge main body 10, and then the blocking member 212 on the rotary power receiving assembly 21 can complete the combination of the power receiving assembly 21 and the developing cartridge main body 10.
