Definitions
- the invention relates to a toner storage container with a hollow body, which surrounds a receiving space and in which the toner material is accommodated, wherein at least one transport spiral is arranged on the outer wall of the hollow body surrounding the receiving space, which protrudes into the receiving space and whose conveying direction in the longitudinal extent of the hollow body runs.
- Such known toner storage containers are used, for example, in copiers. They provide the toner material necessary for the copying process.
- the toner storage container is rotated during use.
- the toner material is then conveyed to a removal opening by means of the transport spiral.
- the blowing process is used to manufacture the toner storage container.
- a hose made of plastic material is suspended in a blow mold. Then compressed air is blown into the interior of the hose.
- the hose then forms on the inner contour of the blow mold and forms a hollow body.
- a helix protrudes from the inner contour of the blow mold. This is arranged in such a way that it is pressed into the outer contour of the hose and forms the transport spiral for the toner material.
- toner storage containers cannot be easily manufactured with sufficient dimensional accuracy. It is therefore sometimes complex Post-processing measures required.
- the indentations in the outer contour of the toner storage container also prove to be disadvantageous when a label is to be stuck on or an imprint is to be applied.
- the labels curl in the area of the indentations, which is perceived as optically disadvantageous.
- the hollow body is composed of at least two partial bodies, each of which forms part of the outer wall surrounding the receiving space, that the partial bodies have mutually coordinated connecting surfaces running in the longitudinal direction of the container, along which the partial bodies are connected to form the hollow body are, and that the partial body are designed as plastic injection molded parts.
- the partial bodies can be manufactured with high quality and very precisely.
- the individual partial bodies can be injection molded in a simple manner.
- the inner contour of the container can be designed independently of the outer contour.
- the toner storage container is then ideally suited for the design of labeling surfaces and / or design elements on the outside of the toner storage container.
- the toner storage container can be manufactured to a high degree by type. This optimally takes into account the recycling concept.
- the partial bodies have integrally molded conveying elements which form the transport helix in the assembled state of the partial bodies.
- a toner storage container can be designed in such a way that the partial bodies have centering elements in the area of the connecting surfaces, by means of which the partial bodies can be aligned with one another.
- the part bodies are joined to one another at their connecting surfaces with the interposition of a sealing element, or that the part bodies are integrally connected to one another.
- the integral connection can be an adhesive bond, a weld or the like.
- a variant of the invention can be characterized in that the partial bodies each have a partial jacket piece which is arranged on a longitudinal end of the partial body, and that the partial Sheath pieces in the joined state of the partial bodies form a container outlet opening.
- the partial jacket pieces forming the container outlet opening have an integrally formed thread on their outer surface, onto which a closure cap can be screwed, that the container outlet opening can also be closed with a closure insert, that the closure insert with a radially projecting flange rests on the edge of the container outlet opening, that the closure cap has a collar that rests on the flange, and that a cone, which is directed towards the receiving space, adjoins the collar clamps the region of the closure insert adjoining the flange in a radially outward direction with respect to the container outlet opening.
- the cone of the closure cap thus prevents the closure insert from being pushed into the receiving space inadmissibly when the closure cap is screwed on.
- the hollow body in addition to its container outlet opening, has at least one refill opening, which can be sealed with a closure.
- the toner storage container can then be refilled after it has been emptied, so that multiple use is possible.
- the refill opening can also be designed independently of the container outlet opening with a large opening width. If the opening width is large, refilling can take place with a short cycle time.
- the refill opening can then be produced in a simple manner if it is provided that the partial bodies each have a recess and that these recesses form the refill opening when the partial bodies are in the assembled state.
- a variant of the invention is chosen such that the refill opening is introduced into the bottom of the hollow body opposite the container outlet opening in such a way that the closure is formed onto the outside of the container Has bearing journal and / or one or more drive cams directed to the outside of the container, and that the closure is sealed and secured against rotation on the hollow body.
- the toner storage container can be designed in such a way that the hollow body has a base which is ring-shaped and protrudes beyond the base of the container and that the peripheral edge of the base which faces away from the base protrudes beyond the closure ,
- FIG. 1 is a perspective exploded view of a toner
- Fig. 2 is a detail shown in Fig. 1 with II
- the partial bodies are designed as plastic injection molded parts. They each have a base part 10 which is designed as a half cylinder. In the longitudinal extent of the partial bodies A, B, the base part 10 is followed by a tapering transition section 11. This transition section 1 1 merges into a partial cylinder 1 2. At the end facing away from the transition section 1 1, a neck part 1 3 is formed on the partial cylinder 1 2. This neck part 1 3 tapers conically and ends with a constriction 14, the a semi-cylindrical part-jacket piece 1 5 carries. On the outside of the partial jacket piece 1 5 threads of a thread 1 5.1 are formed.
- the base part 10 is, facing away from the end partial jacket piece 1 5, closed with a bottom 1 8.
- a stand 1 9 which is designed as a half ring and protrudes above the floor 1 8.
- each of the neck parts 1 3 of the partial bodies A, B has wing-like drive elements 1 3.1.
- the partial bodies A, B enclose an interior space in which the conveying elements 16 project.
- the conveyor elements 1 6 are integrally formed on the partial body A, B.
- the conveying elements 1 6 are arched and run at an angle to the central longitudinal axis of the partial bodies A, B.
- a semi-circular recess is provided in the bottom 1 8 of the partial bodies A, B, which can be closed with a closure 20, as will be explained in more detail later.
- the partial bodies A, B have connecting surfaces 1.1.1, as can be seen in FIG. 2.
- a spring-like thickening rises above the connecting surface 1 7.1 of the lower partial body B (see FIG. 2).
- the upper part of the body A has a groove adapted to the thickening.
- the thickening and the groove form centering elements 1 7.
- the two partial bodies A, B are placed on top of one another in the area of their connecting surfaces 1 7.1.
- the sub-bodies A, B on the centering elements 17 are exactly aligned with one another, so that the outer contours of the sub-bodies A, B merge flush with one another.
- the two half- circular recesses in the bottom 1 8 to a circular refill opening with a large, clear cross section.
- the conveyor elements 1 6 unite to form a continuous, spiral transport spiral.
- a container outlet opening with a circular cross section is formed from the two partial jacket pieces 15.
- Adhesion can be provided to connect the two partial bodies A, B. Accordingly, an adhesive layer is applied to the connecting surfaces 7.1 and optionally also to the centering elements 17.
- the sub-bodies A, B can also be welded to one another in the area of the connecting surfaces. It is always important that an absolutely tight connection is created so that the receiving space enclosed by the partial bodies A, B is sealed off from the surroundings in order to prevent toner material from escaping.
- the centering elements 17 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 other centering elements can alternatively also be provided.
- the bottom-side refilling opening of the hollow body formed by the two partial bodies A, B can be sealed with the closure 20.
- the closure 20 can for example consist of a rubber material. It has a flange 21 which carries an extension 22.
- the approach 22 is in the direction on the interior of the cavity. A groove 23 is worked into the shoulder 22.
- the end 22 has a run-up slope at the end.
- the closure 20 can be pushed onto the hollow body by means of this ramp.
- the approach 22 is deflected radially inwards. When the bottom 1 8 has passed the attachment 22, it snaps open radially outward and the edge which surrounds the refill opening comes to lie sealed in the area of the groove 23.
- the closure 20 has a bearing journal 24 which is shaped toward the outside of the hollow body.
- drive elements can also be formed on the outside of the closure 20.
- the drive elements can be coupled to a drive of a copying machine. The drive then rotates the hollow body about the central longitudinal axis. In this case, the toner material stored in the receiving space of the hollow body is conveyed to the container outlet opening by means of the transport helix.
- the container outlet opening is sealed by means of a closure insert 40.
- the closure insert 40 has a flange 41 which is seated on the edge of the container outlet opening.
- the flange 41 merges into a cylindrical jacket 42, which extends in the direction of the interior of the toner storage container.
- the outside of the jacket 42 lies against the inside surface of the partial jacket pieces 15.
- the jacket 42 merges into a plate 44 via a taper 43.
- the plate 44 has an integrally molded handle 45.
- the toner storage container is closed with a closure cap 30.
- the closure cap 30 has one Cap jacket 31, which is provided with a grip corrugation on its outside.
- a cap base 32 is held in the cap jacket 31.
- the cap base 32 is connected to a collar 34 via a cone 33.
- the collar 34 is integrally formed on the cap jacket 31.
- the cap jacket 31 has an internal thread. With this internal thread, the closure cap 30 is screwed onto the thread 5.1 of the toner storage container. In the screwed-on state, the collar 34 rests on the flange 41 of the closure insert 40. At the same time, the cone 33 lies in the transition region between the flange 41 and the jacket 42 of the closure insert 40.
- the cone 33 braces the closure insert 40 radially outward in the region of the flange 41. As a result of this tension, it is prevented that when the closure cap 30 is screwed on, the closure insert 40 is inserted inadmissibly into the interior of the container.
- the closure cap 30 is first unscrewed. Then the toner storage container can be inserted into a copying machine. In the copying machine, the closure insert 40 is pulled by a pulling device and thus the container outlet opening is released. On the bottom side, a drive unit engages the toner storage container in the area of the closure 20. This rotates the toner storage container around its central longitudinal axis. The toner material is then conveyed out of the toner storage container through the container outlet opening by means of the transport helix.
- the two partial bodies A, B are of essentially identical design. They differ only in the design of the centering elements 1 7.
- the sub-bodies A, B can also be designed identically. It is also conceivable to use three or more partial bodies instead of two partial bodies A, B, which are then combined to form a toner storage container.
- the partial bodies A, B with their base parts 10 form a cylindrical outer contour with a flat surface. This can be used for labeling.
