Abstract
Disclosed is a toner filling apparatus having an automatic air pressure distributing apparatus toner bottle, comprising: a toner passage for storing toner; A storage container in which toner is transported and stored; A toner conveying device for conveying the toner; An air pump for supplying air; A controller for setting a charged amount of the toner; And a waste toner bottle. The toner bottle has a structure in which a separation membrane separating the toner and the air layer is provided. In the lower toner layer, a toner transfer device for transferring the toner is provided. An air injection needle for supplying air to the upper air layer It is a mounted structure. The toner conveying device is equipped with an air supply needle for supplying air and a toner conveying hose for conveying the toner. An air supply hose is connected to the air outlet of the air pump, and one end is connected to the air supply needle, and the other end is connected to the air supply needle of the toner transfer apparatus to connect the air supply needle and the air supply And the same toner conveying required pressure is generated in the toner layer and the air layer by simultaneously supplying air to the needles. Since the amount of air required for the toner conveying required pressure of the toner layer and the air layer is proportional to the volume of the air flowable space of each layer, the conveying required pressure is generated by a very small amount of air only in a toner layer having a substantially constant airflow space, Transfer. Even if the volume of the air layer is increased due to the increase in the volume of the air layer due to the filling of the toner, the compressed air in the air layer is not transferred to another space in the apparatus due to the separation layer between the toner layer and the air layer, Do not. In addition, even when compressed air is discharged from the air layer at the time of completion of charging, there is no problem such as toner scattering.
Description
The present invention relates to an apparatus for filling a toner cartridge or other necessary storage container with a toner or a similar fine powder, and uses air as a scattering solvent for ultrafine powder to directly inject air Is a device for solving the problem that the amount of air for generating the transfer demand pressure changes exponentially in accordance with the change in the internal space volume in which air is injected. More particularly, the present invention relates to a device for stably and continuously conveying toner or fine powder particles by a sufficient amount of air with a small amount of air regardless of the volume inside the toner bottle when the toner or the ultra fine powder is transferred.
As a technology related to the transfer of powder, a technique using air as a scattering solvent has been proposed and widely used for applications and devices.
However, in spite of the fact that air is a good non-acidic solvent for the ultrafine powder, it is difficult to use due to its easy compression properties. In particular, toner transfer technology for development of an infinite toner supply device for laser printers and copying machines, There has been a difficulty in development due to the characteristics of a toner cartridge, the toxicity of the toner to the human body, and the specificity to be considered together with the beauty for installation in a space close to the human body.
Recently, the application number 10-2015-0018079 of the laser printer automatically supplies the toner powder to the lower part of the toner bottle, thereby providing a very easy toner scattering and transferring technique. It has solved the problem that was difficult to carry out many times.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a practical device for stably transferring fine particles of a toner or a similar material into a storage container using air as a scattering solvent.
Recent application No. 10-2015-0018079 In the automatic supply device of toner powder of laser printer, the characteristics of the toner as the ultrafine powder, the specificity of installation such as office space, and the structure of the toner cartridge mounted on the laser printer are simple, There have been proposed practical inventions that can be widely used because they have few manufacturing costs.
However, while the automatic supply of the toner powder of the laser printer is practically feasible in most laser printers and copying machines, it is necessary to charge the toner to the charging room or the toner cartridge manufacturer When the volume of the air layer in the toner bottle is increased due to the charging of the toner due to the charging of the toner, the excessive air amount is injected There is a problem that the toner is scattered at a low degree of airtightness by raising the pressure of the entire inside of the apparatus.
Further, when the air is discharged to the outside in order to reduce the pressure, it is troublesome and costly to use an ultrafine dust filter to remove the scattered toner contained in the discharged air.
An object of the present invention is to provide a method capable of obtaining a conveying required pressure of a toner with a constant air amount irrespective of a change in the volume of an air layer inside a toner bottle without a troublesome device.
In order to accomplish the above object, the present invention provides a toner filling apparatus (A) having an automatic air pressure distributing apparatus toner bottle, comprising a toner bottle (100) and a main body (10) A

Since the volume of the air layer increases due to the use of the toner, the amount of air required to generate the transfer required pressure is distributed to the
The technique of transferring the toner by directly injecting air into the toner bottle has the advantage that the structure is very simple and the manufacturing cost is low. However, when the volume of the air layer inside the toner bottle increases due to the easily compressible properties of air, There was a problem of excessive air infusion.
The present invention is a device using a principle in which the inside of the toner bottle is completely separated from the toner layer and the air layer, and air is simultaneously injected into both layers to generate the same transporting demand pressure on both layers.
Even if the same transporting pressure is formed on both layers, the amount of air to be distributed is proportional to the volume of the space that can be air-freed. Therefore, in a toner layer having a small volume of air-flowable space, .
Further, even if the volume of the air layer increases due to the increase of the volume of the air layer due to the filling of the toner, the air in the air layer is not injected into the toner layer, the transfer hose and the storage container due to the separation membrane even if the air amount for generating the transfer demand pressure increases exponentially. . In addition, air in the air layer is clean air that does not scatter toner, so it may be discharged after the charging is completed.
The present invention can sufficiently transfer the toner or the ultrafine powder with a constant amount of air regardless of the volume of the toner bottle so that the toner or the ultrafine powder can be conveyed in a quantitative manner. There is an effect that various designs can be used.
