Fig. 3 is a schematic view showing the process cartridge provided in the embodiment of the present application assembled in the image forming apparatus, and as shown in fig. 3, the image forming apparatus body a1 is provided with an open process cartridge mounting cavity, and the process cartridge 20 is detachably mounted in the process cartridge mounting cavity of the image forming apparatus body a1 by the urging mechanism 10. The image forming apparatus body a1 further includes a front cover a 20. When the process cartridge (e.g., ink cartridge) 20 needs to be replaced or repaired, the user can open the front cover a20 and detach or attach the process cartridge 20 in the attachment chamber of the image forming apparatus body a 1.
In order to facilitate the detachment or attachment of the process cartridge 20, the urging mechanism 10 is provided on a side wall of the cartridge mounting chamber of the image forming apparatus body a 1. Specifically, the urging mechanism 10 includes an elastic auxiliary member 11, a link assembly 12, and a step positioning member 13.
The elastic auxiliary member 11 is attached to the image forming apparatus body a 1.
Fig. 4 is a partial schematic view of a process cartridge provided in an embodiment of the present application when mounted in an image forming apparatus body. As shown in fig. 4, the end wall of the process cartridge 20 is provided with a stopper hole 201. The urging mechanism 10 is matched with the limiting hole 201 to fix the processing box 20.
The side wall of the open end of the installation cavity of the image forming device body A1 is provided with a first fixing part A11 and a second fixing part A12, the first fixing part A11 and the second fixing part A12 are arranged at intervals, and the first fixing part A11 and the second fixing part A12 are used for fixing the elastic auxiliary piece 11.
The elastic auxiliary 11 is mounted on the sidewall of the image forming apparatus body a1, and an abutting end of the elastic auxiliary 11 abuts against the step positioning member 13. The elastic auxiliary member 11 may be formed by winding a torsion spring, and may also be bent or curved to form different shapes such as an L-shape and a V-shape. Specifically, the elastic assistant fitting 11 is provided with a center fulcrum 111, and the elastic assistant fitting 11 is mounted on the first fixing portion a11 through the center fulcrum 111.
In the present embodiment, the elastic auxiliary member 11 has an adjustable bending angle. The elastic auxiliary member 11 further includes a first abutting section 112 and a second abutting section 113 connected to each other, and the first abutting section 112 and the second abutting section 113 are connected to each other by bending with the central fulcrum 111 as a center to form a bending angle. The first abutting section 112 abuts against and is connected to the process cartridge 20, and the second abutting section 113 abuts against and is connected to the step positioning member 13. It can be understood that, when the bending angle between the first abutting section 112 and the second abutting section 113 becomes larger, the larger the elastic deformation force of the elastic auxiliary member 11 is, the larger the urging force of the elastic auxiliary member 11 is. When the bending angle between the first abutting section 112 and the second abutting section 113 becomes smaller, the smaller the elastic deformation force of the elastic auxiliary member 11, the smaller the urging force of the elastic auxiliary member 11, and the easier the loading or unloading of the process cartridge 20 (e.g., ink cartridge) becomes.
In the embodiment, the elastic auxiliary member 11 is a torsion spring, and the central pivot 111 of the torsion spring is sleeved on the first fixing portion a 11.

The abutting end of the second abutting section 113 abuts against and is connected to the step positioning piece 13.
Further, the link assembly 12 is linked to the front cover a 20. When the front cover a20 is opened, the link assembly 12 drives the step positioning element 13 to swing away from the end wall of the process cartridge 20, and the second abutting section 113 of the elastic auxiliary element 11 moves along the step positioning element 13 to adjust the bending angle of the elastic auxiliary element 11.
Fig. 5 is a schematic structural view of a connecting rod assembly according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, and as shown in fig. 4 to 5, the connecting rod assembly 12 includes a first connecting rod 121 and a second connecting rod 122 linked with the first connecting rod 121. One end of the first connecting rod 121, which is far away from the second connecting rod 122, is in linkage connection with the front cover a20, and one end of the second connecting rod 122, which is far away from the first connecting rod 121, is connected with the step positioning piece 13; the first link 121 drives the second link 122 to swing toward or away from the end wall of the process cartridge 20.
Specifically, the first link 121 has a first connection portion 121a and a second connection portion 121b at two ends thereof. The first connecting portion 121a is used to connect the second link 122, and the second connecting portion 121b is used to connect the front cover a 20.
In some embodiments, the first connecting rod 121 may be a straight rod or a bent rod, the first connecting portion 121a may be an opening, a slot, a thread slot, a plug slot, etc., and correspondingly, the second connecting rod 122 is provided with a connecting portion that is matched with the first connecting portion 121a, and the specific connecting manner thereof is not limited herein.
In this embodiment, the connecting rod assembly 12 further includes a connecting member 123 for connecting the first connecting rod 121 and the second connecting rod 122, the connecting member 123 is L-shaped, in this embodiment, the first connecting rod 121 and the connecting member 123 are integrally formed, in other embodiments, the first connecting rod 121 and the connecting member 123 may also be welded, fastened, riveted, and the like, which is not limited herein.
The second connecting rod 122 is a bent rod, and one end of the second connecting rod 122 close to the first connecting rod 121 is bent to form a bent section 1221. In the present embodiment, the bent section 1221 is bent and extended away from the end wall of the process cartridge 20.
In order to realize the linkage of the first link 121 and the second link 122, a connection hole 123a is formed in the connection member 123, and the bending section 1221 passes through the connection hole 123a and is connected to the connection member 123. Specifically, the end of the bending section 1221 forms a hook so as to hook the connecting member 123.
As shown in fig. 6a to 6b, when the front cover a20 is opened and the first link 121 moves away from the mounting cavity, the connecting member 123 also moves away from the mounting cavity, and drives the bending section 1221 of the second link 122 to swing toward the end wall of the process cartridge 20, so as to drive the step positioning member 13 to move away from the end wall of the process cartridge 20. When the front cover a20 is closed and the first link 121 moves toward the direction close to the mounting cavity, the connecting member 123 also moves toward the direction close to the mounting cavity, and drives the bending section 1221 of the second link 122 to swing toward the direction away from the end wall of the process cartridge 20, thereby driving the step positioning member 13 to move toward the direction close to the end wall of the process cartridge 20.
More specifically, as shown in fig. 5 and 6a, a fixing hole 122a is formed at a bent portion of the second link 122, a convex pillar a122 is disposed on a side wall of the image forming apparatus body A1, and the fixing hole 122a is connected to the convex pillar a122 in a matching manner, so that the second link 122 swings more stably and is in a see-saw shape.
As shown in fig. 5 and 7, at least one engaging groove 122b is formed at an end of the second connecting rod 122 away from the first connecting rod 121; at least one clamping block 13a is arranged on the step positioning piece 13, and the clamping block 13a is clamped and connected with the clamping groove 122 b; thereby connecting the step positioning member 13 with the second link 122.
More specifically, the latch 13a moves within the latch groove 122b, and the step positioning member 13 is retained by the latch 13 a. The step positioning piece 13 is used for reinforcing the processing box 20, and the problems that the processing box 20 shakes or is abnormally positioned in the installation cavity are avoided. The step fixture 13 is inserted into the stopper hole 201 of the end wall of the process cartridge 20 to fix the process cartridge 20.
Specifically, the step positioning member 13 includes a main body 131 and an extension portion 132 formed by extending along one end of the main body 131, and the main body 131 and the extension portion 132 have a height difference in the vertical direction of the process cartridge 20. It can be understood that, since the height difference exists between the main body portion 131 and the extending portion 132, so that the main body portion 131 and the extending portion 132 are stepped, when the second abutting section 113 of the elastic auxiliary member 11 moves along the extending direction of the step positioning member 13, the bending angle between the first abutting section 112 and the second abutting section 113 becomes smaller to adjust the elastic force of the first abutting section 112 abutting against the end wall of the process cartridge, i.e. the smaller the elastic deformation force of the elastic auxiliary member 11, the smaller the urging force of the elastic auxiliary member 11, and the easier the loading or unloading of the process cartridge 20 (e.g. the ink cartridge) is.
In the present embodiment, the main body 131 of the step positioning member 13 is substantially cylindrical, the extension portion 132 is also cylindrical, and the diameter of the extension portion 132 is smaller than that of the main body 131. In order to make the swing of the elastic auxiliary member 11 smoother, an arc-shaped or inclined guide surface 133 is further provided between the main body portion 131 and the extension portion 132. When the second abutting section 113 of the elastic auxiliary 11 swings from the main body 131 to the extending portion 132, the end of the second abutting section 113 can slide to the surface of the extending portion 132 under the guidance of the guiding surface 133, the whole swinging process is more stable, and no abnormal sound is generated. For example, the guide surface 133 may be a slope or a curved surface.
In use, as shown in fig. 8a to 8b, when the front cover a20 of the image forming apparatus body a1 is opened, the front cover a20 is opened and drives the first connecting rod 121 to move away from the mounting cavity, and the connecting member 123 also moves away from the mounting cavity, and drives the bending section 1221 of the second connecting rod 122 to swing towards the end wall direction close to the processing box 20, so as to drive the step positioning member 13 to swing towards the end wall direction away from the processing box 20. At this time, when the second abutting section 113 of the elastic auxiliary member 11 moves along the extending direction of the step positioning member 13, since there is a height difference between the main body portion 131 and the extending portion 132, the bending angle between the first abutting section 112 and the second abutting section 113 becomes smaller, the smaller the elastic deformation force of the elastic auxiliary member 11 is, the smaller the urging force of the elastic auxiliary member 11 is, and the easier the loading or unloading of the process cartridge 20 (e.g., the ink cartridge) is.
And whether the processing cartridge 20 is mounted in place in the image forming apparatus body a1 can be judged according to whether the step positioning piece 13 is inserted into the limiting hole 201, so that the problem of printing abnormity caused by the fact that the processing cartridge 20 is not mounted in place by a user is avoided, and a fool-proof effect can be achieved.
Through the test, every time the bending angle reduces 7 degrees, the urging force of the torsion spring reduces about 21 percent, see the following table:
Figure BDA0002782800910000061
Figure BDA0002782800910000071
conversely, when the front cover a20 is closed, the front cover a20 closes and drives the first link 121 to move toward the mounting cavity, the connecting member 123 also moves toward the mounting cavity, and drives the bending section 1221 of the second link 122 to swing away from the end wall of the process cartridge 20, so as to drive the step positioning member 13 to move toward the end wall of the process cartridge 20 until the step positioning member 13 is inserted into the limiting hole 201 on the end wall of the process cartridge 20. At this time, the second abutting section 113 of the elastic auxiliary member 11 moves to the main body 131 along the extending portion 132, the bending angle between the first abutting section 112 and the second abutting section 113 becomes larger, the larger the elastic deformation force of the elastic auxiliary member 11 is, the larger the urging force of the elastic auxiliary member 11 is, the stable installation of the process cartridge 20 is realized, the problems of shaking or abnormal positioning of the process cartridge 20 and the like during the operation of the image forming apparatus are avoided, and the normal printing of the image forming apparatus is ensured.
The urging mechanism 10 provided by the embodiment of the application, through opening the front cover A20 and linking the connecting rod assembly 12 to move, the connecting rod assembly 12 swings towards the end wall direction far away from the processing box 20, and then the step positioning piece 13 connected with the connecting rod assembly 12 moves, so that the bending angle of the torsion spring abutted on the step positioning piece 13 changes along with the movement of the step positioning piece 13, the urging force of the torsion spring of the image forming device body is reduced, the operation and the disassembly of a customer are facilitated, the processing box is installed, and the experience of the customer is improved.

Therefore, whether the processing box 20 is installed in place in the image forming device body A1 can be judged according to whether the step positioning piece 13 is inserted into the limiting hole 201, the problem of printing abnormity caused by the fact that the processing box 20 is not assembled in place by a user is avoided, and the fool-proof effect can be achieved. As shown in fig. 9, the image forming apparatus 1 to which the process cartridge 20 is attached, the image forming apparatus 1 includes a paper feeding unit 9, a conveying unit 4, a fixing unit 5, and a discharging unit 6. In the image forming process, paper is output from the paper feeding unit 9 and is conveyed to the image forming unit by the conveying unit 4, the image forming unit converts image information into an electrostatic latent image and converts the electrostatic latent image into a toner image, after the toner image is transferred to the paper, the conveying unit 4 conveys the paper to the fixing unit 5, the toner image is fixed on the paper after the paper bearing the toner image is heated and pressurized by the fixing unit 5, and the paper after the fixing operation is discharged by the discharging unit 6.
