Detailed Description
As shown in fig. 1 and 2, the developing cartridge of the embodiment includes a developing casing 10 and a developing roller 21, and the developing roller 21 rotatably develops both opposite end portions of the casing 10. The developing casing 10 has a storage bin 101 and a developing bin 102 therein, and a separation film 30 is provided between the storage bin 101 and the developing bin 102. Specifically, a partition wall 11 is provided between the storage hopper 101 and the developing hopper 102, an opening 111 communicating the storage hopper 101 and the developing hopper 102 is formed in the partition wall 11, and the partition film 30 is provided (e.g., thermally welded) on the partition wall 11 and seals the opening 111.
The storage hopper 101 is used to store developer. Before the use of the developing cartridge, the separation film 30 maintains the seal to the opening 111, thereby hermetically storing the developer in the storage bin 101. After the separation film 30 is torn off, the developer stored in the storage bin 101 may be transported into the developing bin 102 by an agitating frame or a powder feeding member (not shown in the figure) provided in the storage bin 101, and then supplied onto the developing roller 21 by the powder feeding roller 22 provided in the developing bin 102 to participate in development.

Here, the pressing portion 131 may be provided to press only the developer cleaning portion, or may be provided to press the entire outer end surface of the sealing plug 14.
Pressing the sealing plug 14, particularly the developer cleaning portion, by the pressing portion 131 can suppress deformation of the sealing plug 14, particularly the developer cleaning portion, when the separation film 30 is torn off, thereby reducing or preventing leakage of the developer from the diaphragm tank 121. Further, as shown in fig. 4, the inside of the holder 13 is formed with a waste toner accommodating recess 132 facing the diaphragm groove 121, so that, even if a situation occurs in which the developer leaks from the diaphragm groove 121, the leaked developer is stored in the waste toner accommodating recess 132 and does not leak to the outside of the developing cartridge to cause contamination.
The holder 13 may be used to support the developing roller 21 and the powder feeding roller 22. As shown in fig. 3 and 4, the bracket 13 has a first shaft hole 133 and a second shaft hole 134, the rotating shaft 211 of the developing roller 21 is rotatably connected to the first shaft hole 133, and the rotating shaft 221 of the powder feeding roller 22 is rotatably connected to the second shaft hole 134, so that the bracket 13 rotatably supports the developing roller 21 and the powder feeding roller 22.
Further, the holder 13 may have a conductive property and be electrically connected to the developing roller 21 and the powder feeding roller 22. As shown in fig. 3, the holder 13 has a power receiving portion 135 in a convex shape, and the power receiving portion 135 is electrically connected to the electrophotographic image forming apparatus, thereby enabling the electrophotographic image forming apparatus to supply power to the developing roller 21 and the powder feed roller 22.
The utility model discloses the development box can install to electrophotographic image forming apparatus alone, also can form installation to electrophotographic image forming apparatus after handling the box with sensitization drum box combination together. The structure of the photosensitive drum box and the combination mode of the photosensitive drum box and the developing box can be the same as the prior art, and the description is omitted.
