The clutch gear set 5 and the transmission gear set 4 in the embodiment are in lap joint through the swing arm 53 and the cam 41, so that the clutch gear set 5 and the transmission gear set 4 are conveniently in transmission connection, an extra avoiding structure is not required to be arranged to realize meshing connection of the two parts, the structure is simpler, the installation is more convenient, and the installation space in the machine shell is also reduced.
The toner replenishing mechanism of the toner cartridge is used as follows. The powder supplementing box 2 in this embodiment may be mounted in the casing together with the toner cartridge main body 100 after being assembled to the toner hopper 1 of the toner cartridge main body 100 outside the casing, or the toner cartridge main body 100 may be mounted in the casing first, and then the powder supplementing box 2 is butted to the toner hopper 1 to mount the powder supplementing box 2 in the casing.
When the toner replenishing box 2 is not mounted on the toner hopper 1 and is partially and partially mounted on the toner hopper 1 and no printing work is performed, the elastic piece 54 presses the swing arm 53, the first pushing piece 531 on the swing arm 53 does not push the second pushing piece 511 on the first ratchet 51, and the first ratchet 51 and the second ratchet 52 are in a separated state. While the sealing outlet 61 on the sealing member 6 is in a position staggered with respect to the powder outlet 21.
When the powder supplementing box 2 is assembled on the toner box 1 and the toner cartridge main body 100 starts printing, the photosensitive drum rotates, thereby driving the output cam 41 of the transmission gear set 4 to rotate, when the protruding part of the cam 41 gradually rotates towards the swing arm 53, the swing arm 53 is lifted up by the cam 41, the first pusher 531 pushes the inclined surface of the second pusher 511 on the first ratchet 51, thus, the first pushing member 531 pushes the second pushing member 511 to rotate circumferentially and simultaneously pushes the first ratchet 51 to move closer to the second ratchet 52, thereby realizing the meshing of the first ratchet wheel 51 and the second ratchet wheel 52, and along with the continuous rotation of the swing arm 53, the first ratchet wheel 51 is pushed to drive the second ratchet wheel 52 to rotate, further, the screw 32 is driven to rotate, and the screw 32 conveys the toner in the toner replenishing box 2 to the position of the toner outlet 21. When the swing arm 53 rotates, the elastic member 54 drives the sealing member 6 to rotate, so that the sealing member 6 does not rotate any more when the sealing member 6 rotates to a position where the sealing outlet 61 is in butt joint with the powder outlet 21. Thus, the elastic member 54 is gradually compressed as the swing arm 53 rotates.
After the output cam 41 in the transmission gear set 4 rotates past the farthest swinging position on the driving swing arm 53, the swing arm 53 swings back under the reset action of the elastic member 54, and the first pushing member 531 on the swing arm 53 pushes one end of the second pushing member 511, which is not an inclined surface, so as to drive the first ratchet wheel 51 to rotate back and separate from the second ratchet wheel 52. At this time, the screw 32 cannot be driven to rotate any more, and the toner cannot be discharged into the toner hopper 1. In addition, the elastic member 54 drives the sealing member 6 to rotate, so that the sealing member 6 rotates to a position where the sealing outlet 61 and the toner outlet 21 are staggered, the toner outlet 21 is further closed, and toner output is stopped.
Through the process, the intermittent output of the ink powder is realized, the stirring speed and the output quantity of the ink powder are greatly reduced, the normal ink powder quantity requirement of the ink powder bin 1 is met, and the deterioration caused by excessive stirring of the ink powder is avoided.
The reduction ratio of the reduction gear set can reach 80: 5-90: 5, and the reduction ratio of the reduction gear set in the embodiment is 83: 5.
The toner replenishing mechanism of the toner cartridge is characterized in that a toner replenishing box 2 is additionally arranged independently of a toner bin 1, when the toner replenishing mechanism is used, toner only needs to be added into the toner replenishing box 2, the toner replenishing box 2 can be in butt joint communication with a toner inlet 11 in the toner bin 1 through a toner outlet 21, and then the toner is replenished into the toner bin 1. Because the powder supplementing box 2 is detachably butted relative to the toner bin 1, and the powder supplementing box 2 is not related to other components in the toner cartridge main body 100, the toner adding condition in the powder supplementing box 2 does not influence the toner supply use of the toner bin 1 in the printing process. Therefore, the user can conveniently detach the toner cabin 1 of the toner replenishing box 2 to automatically add the replenishing toner into the toner replenishing box 2, and the requirement on the replenishing toner of the user is low. On the other hand, even if the powder replenishing box 2 is directly replaced, the cost is low.
On this basis, set up out powder subassembly 3 in mending powder box 2 so that to supply the powdered ink in the powdered ink storehouse 1, and the effect through reduction gear, not only can save the cost that sets up actuating mechanism specially to out powder subassembly 3, also can reduce the occupation space in the printer casing, the rotation condition of going out powder subassembly 3 can effectively be guaranteed to this reduction gear simultaneously, avoid on the one hand too fast and lead to the powdered ink to deteriorate to the stirring of the powdered ink in mending powder box 2, on the other hand can effectively control and carry reasonable powdered ink volume in to powdered ink storehouse 1, improve and print the effect.
