Further, the driving end cap 2 covers at least a part of the driving force receiving member 4 and at least a part of the gear assembly 3, the gear assembly 3 includes a driving force receiving gear 31, a powder feed roller gear 32, a developing roller gear 33 (shown in fig. 3), an intermediate gear 34, and a counter gear 36, the powder feed roller gear 32 and the developing roller gear 33 are respectively located at the ends of the powder feed roller and the developing roller and are engaged with the driving force receiving gear 31, the intermediate gear 34 is also engaged with the driving force receiving gear 31, and the counter gear 36 is engaged with the intermediate gear 34, so that, when the driving force receiving member 4 receives the driving force, the developing roller, the powder feed roller, and the counter gear are all driven to rotate by the above-mentioned gear assembly 3. Generally, to prevent the carbon powder from caking in the casing 1, the developing cartridge 10 further comprises an agitating frame (not shown) rotatably mounted in the casing 1, and the gear assembly 3 further comprises an agitating frame gear 35 at one end of the agitating frame, the agitating frame gear 35 also meshing with the intermediate gear 34, thereby ensuring that the agitating frame is driven to rotate while the developing roller and the powder feeding roller rotate.
To improve the assembly efficiency of the developing cartridge assembly factory, it has been done to previously mount part of the components of the gear assembly 3 to the drive end cap 2 by the supplier of the casing 1, for example, the intermediate gear 34 and the counter gear 36 are previously mounted to the drive end cap 2. To two kinds of model development box that size and position that only count gear 36 are different, development box manufacture needs prepare the drive end cover 2 and the casing 1 of these two kinds of models simultaneously, the utility model provides a development box 10 then only need provide a casing 1 can.
As shown in fig. 1, the casing 1 has a first end surface 1a at the driving end F and a second end surface 1b at the conductive end E, the first end surface 1a and the second end surface 1b both face outward, the developing cartridge 10 further includes a plurality of positioning portions provided at the first end surface 1a, and when the driving end cap 2 mounted with the counting gear 36 is combined with the casing 1, the positioning portions are combined with the driving end cap 2, thereby positioning the counting gear 36; preferably, the first end 1a of the casing 1 is provided with two positioning portions 11/12, the two positioning portions 11/12 being respectively used for coupling with the driving end caps 2 of different models of developing cartridges.
Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the inside of the driving end cap in the developing cartridge according to the present invention.
The driving end cap 2 includes a main body 21, a through hole 22 provided on the main body 21, and a support rod 23, the driving force receiving member 4 is exposed through the through hole 22, and the counter gear 36 is supported by the support rod 23. The support rod 23 protrudes toward the housing 1, and includes a base 230 connected to the main body 21, a first deformation piece 231 and a second deformation piece 232 at a distal end of the base 230, and a stopper 234 provided at least one of the first deformation piece 231 and the second deformation piece 232, as shown in the drawing, a separation space 233 is formed between the first deformation piece 231 and the second deformation piece 232, and the stopper 234 is provided on the second deformation piece 232, so that the first deformation piece 231 and the second deformation piece 232 can be formed by cutting the separation space 233 at the distal end of the base 230 in an axial direction of the support rod 23. When the counter gear 36 is attached to the support rod 23, the first deforming piece 231 and the second deforming piece 232 deform toward the partition space 233 until the counter gear 36 passes through the stopper 234, and at this time, the first deforming piece 231 and the second deforming piece 232 are reset, and thus the counter gear 36 is restricted between the stopper 234 and the main body 21 by the stopper 234.
Further, the first deformation piece 231 and the second deformation piece 232 have different sizes along the axial direction of the support rod 23, and when viewed along the direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the support rod 23, the heights of the first deformation piece 231 and the second deformation piece 232 are different, for example, the first deformation piece 231 may be higher than the second deformation piece 232, or the second deformation piece 232 may be higher than the first deformation piece 231, so that the effect of increasing the installation speed of the counting gear 36 may be achieved, and when installing the counting gear 36, it is not necessary to ensure that the installation hole of the counting gear 36 is aligned with the first deformation piece 231 and the second deformation piece 232 at the same time, but it is only necessary to ensure that the higher deformation piece enters the installation hole of the counting gear 36.
Furthermore, the present embodiment adopts a higher mode of disposing the deformation sheet without the position-limiting portion 234, as shown in fig. 2, the position-limiting portion 234 is located at the end of the second deformation sheet 232, the first deformation sheet 231 is higher than the second deformation sheet 232, when the counting gear 36 is mounted, the higher first deformation sheet 231 enters the mounting hole of the counting gear 36 first, then, the counting gear 36 can be inclined relative to the axis of the support rod 23, so that the second deformation sheet 232 with the position-limiting portion 234 is more easily extruded by the counting gear 36 to deform, and finally, the counting gear 36 can be smoothly mounted; if the deformation sheet provided with the limiting portion 234 is set higher, the counting gear 36 will be combined with the limiting portion 234 first, and when the counting gear 36 needs to be combined with a lower deformation sheet, the counting gear 36 cannot be inclined relative to the axis of the support rod 23 due to the limitation of the limiting portion 234, so that the installation difficulty of the counting gear 36 is increased, and in contrast, in the higher mode in which the deformation sheet without the limiting portion 234 is set, the counting gear 36 has a greater degree of freedom in installation.
As further shown in fig. 2, facing the second deforming piece 232, the first deforming piece 231 has a holding surface 235, and when the drive cap 2 is mounted, the holding surface 235 is engaged with the positioning portion 11/12.
Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the driving end of the developing cartridge according to the present invention after the driving end cover is hidden.

The first positioning portion 11 is provided as a cylindrical body extending outward from the first end face 1a, the cylindrical body having an opening for allowing the support rod 23 to enter the interior thereof, and includes a first stopper 11a and a second stopper 11b provided inside the cylindrical body, the first stopper 11a and the second stopper 11b occupying only a part of the space inside the cylindrical body, at least one of the first deforming piece 231 and the second deforming piece 232 enters the space inside the cylindrical body when the drive end cap 2 is mounted, and the holding surface 235 abuts against the first stopper 11a and the second stopper 11b in opposition. More preferably, a gap 11c is provided between the first stopper 11a and the second stopper 11b, and when the driving cap 2 is mounted, the stopper 234 enters the gap 11c, so that the support rod 23 can be stably supported at the first stopper 11.
As a simplified structure, the first stopper 11a and the second stopper 11b may be integrated, i.e., the gap 11c is eliminated, the first relatively higher deforming piece 231 faces the stopper, and the end of the second relatively lower deforming piece 232 abuts against the stopper 11a/11b, and also the stable support of the support bar 23 is ensured.
As described above with the embodiment in which the counter gear 36 is mounted on the driving cap 2, it is possible that the counter gear 36 may also be directly supported on the housing 1, at this time, the positioning portion 11/12 directly supports the counter gear 36 on the housing 1, and the shape of the positioning portion 11/12 may also be adaptively modified, for example, the positioning portion 11/12 is provided in the shape of a support shaft or a protrusion; unlike the above-described embodiment, the counter gear 36 is indirectly supported on the housing 1 through the driving end cap 2, but generally, by providing at least the first positioning portion 11 and the second positioning portion 12 on the distal end surface 1a of the housing 1, different types of developing cartridges can be assembled by combining the housing 1 with different driving end caps 2, and a developer manufacturer only needs to prepare one type of housing 1, which is beneficial to reducing the stock and improving the production efficiency.
