Problems solved by technology

[0007] In addition, as described above, when the boundary between the container body and the lid is arranged at the internal contact portion, when the stirring member rotates, there is a problem that the tip of the stirring member enters the gap or step formed by the boundary portion, causing the stirring member to be damaged.
In particular, when the stirring element is turned in reverse in the direction opposite to the usual direction of rotation, the stirring element may become deeply embedded in gaps or steps in the boundary, at which point the risk of breaking the stirring element increases

Embodiment Construction

[0020] Specific embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0021] figure 1 Shown is an image forming apparatus equipped with the toner container according to this embodiment.

[0022] figure 1 The image forming apparatus 1 shown in is a device with a printing function, which prints an image on a recording medium such as paper according to an externally input image signal. The printing method used by the image forming apparatus 1 is a dry electrophotographic method used in general laser printers. In addition, the image forming apparatus 1 has a monochrome printing function, however, the present invention can also be applied to an image forming apparatus having a color printing function.

[0023] Inside the casing 2 of the image forming apparatus 1 is provided an image forming unit 3 that prints an image on paper based on an image signal input from the outside. In addition, the toner container 5 according to th...

Abstract

The present invention provides a toner container and an image forming apparatus. The toner container of the present invention includes a container body, a lid, a stirring member, a convex portion arrangement portion, and a concave portion arrangement portion. The container body includes a first side wall, a second side wall, a third side wall, a fourth side wall, and a bottom plate portion. The container body has an opening on its upper side. The container body is formed with a toner discharge port for discharging the toner accommodated in the container body to the outside. The convex part arrangement part is formed on one of the following upward facing surface and downward facing surface, the upward facing surface is formed on the first side wall or the second side wall and faces upward, and the downward facing surface is formed on the cover and is connected with the upward facing surface. relatively. The convex part arrangement part is formed by arranging a plurality of convex parts in a direction from the third side wall to the fourth side wall. The concave portion arrangement portion is formed on the other of the upper surface and the lower surface. In the concave part arrangement part, the plurality of concave parts into which the plurality of convex parts are respectively inserted are arranged in a direction from the third side wall to the fourth side wall.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a toner container containing toner (developer) for dry electrophotographic printing, and an image forming apparatus provided with the toner container. Background technique [0002] Generally, a toner container (for example, a toner cartridge) containing a toner for dry electrophotographic printing includes a container main body and a cap. The container main body is formed substantially in a box shape, has an opening on its upper side, and houses the toner therein. The lid is mounted on the upper side of the container body so as to close the opening of the container body. A toner discharge port is formed on the container body or the cap to deliver the toner contained in the container body to a developing device of the image forming apparatus. In addition, the toner container is provided with a toner agitation mechanism that agitates the toner contained in the container main body and conveys the toner to the side of the...
