Abstract

The invention provides a developing cartridge, a method for detecting the residual amount of toner, and an electronic imaging device. The developing cartridge includes a cartridge body, a powder bin is arranged in the cartridge body, and a stirring device is arranged in the powder bin. The stirring device includes a rotating shaft and a self-rotating shaft. The stirring blade whose shaft extends in the radial direction, and the rotating shaft is supported between the two end walls of the box body; wherein, the inner wall of the powder bin is provided with a detection circuit board, and the detection circuit board is provided with a detection electrode, and the radial end of the stirring blade can be Abutting on the surface of the detection circuit board, the detection circuit board is arranged parallel to the rotating shaft; the detection circuit board is provided with a comparison circuit, and the comparison circuit receives the reference capacitance value and the capacitance change value before and after the stirring blade sweeps the detection electrode, and compares the reference capacitance value. and the magnitude of the change in capacitance. The method includes judging whether the remaining amount of toner is sufficient according to the difference between the capacitance values ​​before and after the detection circuit board is scraped by the stirring blade and the reference capacitance value. The developing cartridge detection circuit of the invention is simple, and the production cost is low.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of printing consumables used in laser printers, in particular to a developer box, an electronic imaging device using the developer box, and a method for detecting the remaining amount of toner in the developer box. Background technique [0002] In electronic imaging equipment, such as electrostatic copiers or digital copiers and all-in-one printers, there is a developing device for developing the electrostatic latent image formed on the photosensitive drum. The developing device lays toner on the electrostatic latent image and develops it. . An existing developing device is composed of a photosensitive component unit provided with a photosensitive drum and a developing unit of a developing roller, and the toner consumed for developing is generally provided by a powder bin in the developing unit. In the actual development process, in addition to the toner actually needed for development and printing,...
