Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0036] Embodiment: A toner cartridge automatic swing detection device, see Figure 1-Figure 3 , including: a base 11; a detector 12 fixedly installed on the right side of the base 11, after the toner cartridge 0 is loaded into the detector 12, the detector 12 will detect the power supply status of the toner cartridge 0; a top cover 1201 rotatably installed on the top of the detector 12; a handle 1202 fixedly installed on the top cover 1201; and an operating panel 13 fixedly installed on the right side of the base 11, the operating panel 13 is the master control switch of the device.

[0037] See also Figure 1-Figure 4 The device comprises: a swing mechanism arranged on a base 11, the swing mechanism is used to swing the toner cartridge 0 so that the developing roller of the toner cartridge 0 is evenly coated with powder;

[0038] The swing mechanism includes: a mounting frame A21 fixedly mounted on the front and rear sides of the right part of the base 11; fixing devices 22 rotatably arranged on the two mounting frames A21, the two fixing devices 22 cooperate with each other to fix the toner cartridge 0, and the toner cartridge 0 fixed by the fixing device 22 will be located above the top cover 1201 of the detector 12; a torsion spring B24 sleeved on the rotating shaft of the fixing device 22, the two ends of the torsion spring B24 are respectively fixed on the fixing device 22 and the mounting frame A21, and the torsion spring B24 is used to restore the position of the fixing device 22 after rotation; a swing arm 23 fixedly mounted on the bottom of the fixing device 22; a swing arm 23 fixedly mounted on the base 11 A track 25 on the base 11, the track 25 is located at the front side of the detector 12; a sliding plate 26 slidably mounted on the track 25, a slide groove 2601 is provided at the rear of the sliding plate 26; a top shaft 27 slidably mounted in the slide groove 2601, the top shaft 27 can contact the swing arm 23 to push the swing arm 23 to rotate; a servo motor 28 is fixedly mounted on the left side of the base 11, and a long rod is provided on the output end of the servo motor 28; a connecting rod A29 is arranged between the servo motor 28 and the sliding plate 26, one end of the connecting rod A29 is rotatably connected to the end of the long rod on the output end of the servo motor 28, and the other end is rotatably connected to the sliding plate 26.

[0039] The servo motor 28 is started. The servo motor 28 rotates the long rod to make the connecting rod A29 drive the sliding plate 26 to move left and right on the track 25. When the sliding plate 26 moves to the right, the sliding plate 26 will move the lower end of the swing arm 23 to the right through the top shaft 27, and the torsion spring B24 is twisted, so that the swing arm 23 swings the fixing device 22 and the toner cartridge 0 fixed thereon to the right; when the sliding plate 26 moves to the left, the sliding plate 26 separates from the swing arm 23, and the torsion spring B24 is restored, thereby rotating the swing arm 23 to the left, and swinging the fixing device 22 and the toner cartridge 0 fixed thereon to the left, and so on and so forth, so that the toner cartridge 0 can be evenly powdered. When it is necessary to adjust the fixing device When adjusting the swing amplitude of the toner cartridge 22, slide the top shaft 27 and change the height of the top shaft 27 on the sliding plate 26. The higher the height of the top shaft 27, the shorter the distance from the contact position of the top shaft 27 with the swing arm 23 to the position of the rotation axis of the swing arm 23, the shorter the arm length of the swing arm 23 being rotated, and the smaller the swing amplitude. The lower the height of the top shaft 27, the longer the distance from the contact position of the top shaft 27 with the swing arm 23 to the position of the rotation axis of the swing arm 23, the longer the arm length of the swing arm 23 being rotated, and the larger the swing amplitude. Therefore, the height adjustment of the top shaft 27 can realize the adjustment of the swing amplitude of the toner cartridge 0, so that the device can adapt to the different swing amplitude requirements of the toner cartridge 0.

[0040] See also Figure 4 The fixing device 22 includes: a mounting plate 2201 rotatably mounted on a mounting frame A21, a swing arm 23 fixedly mounted on the bottom of the front mounting plate 2201, a torsion spring B24 sleeved on the rotating shaft of the mounting plate 2201, and the torsion spring B24 is fixed to the mounting plate 2201; a top plate 2202 fixedly mounted on the top of the mounting plate 2201; a roller 2203 arranged on the mounting plate 2201, two rollers 2203 are provided, one roller 2203 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 2201, and the other roller 2203 is rotatably connected to the mounting plate 2201, and the roller 2203 is in rolling contact with the toner cartridge 0; a torsion spring A2204 sleeved on one of the rollers 2203, and the two ends of the torsion spring A2204 are respectively fixedly connected to the two rollers 2203.

[0041] Rotate the roller 2203 to separate the two rollers 2203, twist the torsion spring A2204 to increase the distance between the two rollers 2203, and pass the toner cartridge 0 between the two rollers 2203. Then release the roller 2203, and the torsion spring A2204 restores the position of the roller 2203, so that the roller 2203 moves to the bottom of the toner cartridge 0 to support the toner cartridge 0. The torsion spring A2204 makes the roller 2203 cooperate with the top plate 2202 to clamp and fix the toner cartridge 0, thereby fixing the toner cartridge 0 between the fixing devices 22. After that, the swing arm 23 can swing the toner cartridge 0 through the fixing device 22.

[0042] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6The device further includes: an opening and closing mechanism disposed on the base 11, the opening and closing mechanism being used to automatically open and close the top cover 1201 so as to facilitate placing the toner cartridge 0 in the detector 12;

[0043] The opening and closing mechanism includes: a mounting frame B31 fixedly mounted on the left side of the base 11; a rotating rod 32 rotatably mounted on the mounting frame B31; a slider A34 slidably mounted on the mounting frame B31; a connecting rod B33 rotatably mounted between the rotating rod 32 and the slider A34, and the rotation of the rotating rod 32 will control the left and right movement of the slider A34 through the transmission of the connecting rod B33; a spring A35 fixedly mounted between the slider A34 and the mounting frame B31; a connecting plate 36 rotatably mounted on the upper end of the slider A34; a sliding shaft 37 slidably mounted on the handle 1202; a support plate 38 slidably mounted on the connecting plate 36, and the support plate 38 is rotatably connected to the sliding shaft 37; and a spring B39 fixedly mounted between the support plate 38 and the connecting plate 36.

[0044] During the rotation of the rotating rod 32, when the shaft of the rotating rod 32 moves in the left half position, the rotating rod 32 will control the connecting rod B33 to move left, and the connecting rod B33 drives the connecting plate 36 and the supporting plate 38 to move left. The supporting plate 38 moves the handle 1202 to the left through the sliding shaft 37 to open the top cover 1201. During this process, the connecting plate 36 rotates relative to the slider A34, the supporting plate 38 rotates relative to the sliding shaft 37, and the spring A35 and the spring B39 are deformed; while the shaft of the rotating rod 32 moves in the right half position, the rotating rod 32 will control the connecting rod B33 to move left, and the connecting rod B33 drives the connecting plate 36 and the supporting plate 38 to move left. The connecting rod B33 moves to the right, driving the connecting plate 36 and the supporting plate 38 to move to the right, and then the top cover 1201 is closed through the sliding shaft 37 and the pull handle 1202, and the spring A35 and the spring B39 return to the state before deformation, thereby realizing the automatic opening and closing of the detector 12; the setting of the spring A35 makes the movement of the slider A34 controlled by the rotating rod 32 smoother and more stable, and cooperates with the spring B39 to buffer the force transmitted to the pull handle 1202, thereby making the movement of the pull handle 1202 more stable and preventing the top cover 1201 from being damaged.

[0045] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 , the device further comprises: a transmission mechanism A disposed on the base 11, the transmission mechanism A being used for driving the rotating rod 32 to rotate;

[0046] The transmission mechanism A includes: a mounting ring 41 fixedly mounted on the base 11, and the mounting ring 41 is located on the front side of the servo motor 28; a gear ring 42 rotatably mounted on the mounting ring 41, and the inner and outer layers of the gear ring 42 are respectively provided with convex teeth A4201 and convex teeth B4202, and the convex teeth A4201 are located on the front side of the convex teeth B4202, wherein the convex teeth A4201 are distributed throughout the gear ring 42, and the convex teeth B4202 only occupy one sixth of the gear ring 42; a gear A43 rotatably mounted on the base 11, the gear A43 is fixed to the output shaft of the servo motor 28, and the gear A43 is meshed with the convex teeth A4201 of the gear ring 42; a gear B44 rotatably mounted on the base 11, the gear B44 is fixed to the rotating shaft of the rotating rod 32, and the gear B44 is meshed with the convex teeth B4202 of the gear ring 42, and the gear number ratio between the gear B44 and the gear A43 is six.

[0047] When the servo motor 28 is started, while controlling the swing of the fixing device 22 and the toner cartridge 0 through the connecting rod A29, the gear ring 42 will also be driven to rotate through the gear A43 and the convex tooth A4201. When the convex tooth B4202 on the gear ring 42 rotates to the position of the gear B44, the gear ring 42 will rotate the transmission gear B44 one circle, that is, the transmission rotating rod 32 rotates one circle. Due to the setting of the difference in the number of teeth between the convex tooth A4201 and the convex tooth B4202, and the setting of the difference in the number of teeth between the gear A43 and the gear B44, the frequency of the swing of the fixing device 22 is greater than the number of circles of the rotating rod 32, so that the toner cartridge 0 can be loaded with materials after it is fully powdered.

[0048] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 , Figure 8 and Fig. 9 , the device also includes: a feeding mechanism disposed on the base 11, the feeding mechanism is used to add the swung toner cartridge 0 into the detector 12;

[0049] The feeding mechanism includes: a mounting frame C51 fixedly mounted on the base 11; a rotating frame 52 rotatably mounted on the mounting frame C51, the right end of the rotating frame 52 is located above the detector 12, and the rotating frame 52 is provided with a torsion spring so that it can automatically rotate back after being rotated; a push arm 53 fixedly mounted on the rotating frame 52, the push arm 53 can contact the slider A34; a mounting frame 54 slidably mounted on the bottom right end of the rotating frame 52, the mounting frame 54 is set to an inverted U shape, and notches are opened on the two arms of the inverted U shape of the mounting frame 54; a fixed A spring C55 installed between the mounting frame 54 and the rotating frame 52; a slider B56 slidably installed in the notch of the mounting frame 54, the bottom and top of the slider B56 are provided with inclined surfaces, and the inclined surface of the top is much smaller than the inclined surface of the bottom; a slider C57 slidably installed in the notch of the mounting frame 54, the top of the slider C57 is provided with an inclined surface; a spring D58 fixedly installed between the slider B56 and the slider C57; a baffle 59 fixedly installed at the bottom of the right end of the rotating frame 52, the baffle 59 is provided with a side wall that can block the notch position of the mounting frame 54.

[0050] When the slider A34 moves to the left and opens the top cover 1201, the slider A34 moves to the left until it contacts the push arm 53, causing the rotating frame 52 to rotate. The right end of the rotating frame 52 moves downward, causing the mounting frame 54 to contact the toner cartridge 0 located on the fixing device 22 at this time. The inclined surface of the slider B56 contacts the toner cartridge 0. Since the baffle 59 blocks the gap of the mounting frame 54 at this time, the slider C57 cannot move, and the slider B56 slides into the gap of the mounting frame 54. The spring D58 is compressed, allowing the slider B56 to pass through. Toner cartridge 0, until it moves to the bottom of toner cartridge 0, spring D58 restores the position of slider B56, so that slider B56 is stuck under toner cartridge 0, then, rotating frame 52 drives toner cartridge 0 to continue to move downward, and applies pressure to roller 2203 through toner cartridge 0, so that roller 2203 separates from each other, torsion spring A2204 deforms, toner cartridge 0 can pass through between rollers 2203, roller 2203 no longer supports toner cartridge 0, but slider B56 supports toner cartridge 0, finally, mounting frame 54 drives toner cartridge 0 to insert into detector 12;

[0051] When the toner cartridge 0 is loaded into the installation frame 54, the slider A34 starts to slide to the right and controls the top cover 1201 to close. During the process, the slider A34 is separated from the push arm 53, and the rotating frame 52 automatically rotates back, driving the installation frame 54 to move up. Since the toner cartridge 0 has been loaded into the detector 12, the slider B56 is blocked by the toner cartridge 0. Therefore, the installation frame 54 is stationary under the action of the slider B56. The installation frame 54 will slide relative to the rotating frame 52 and the baffle 59, and the spring C55 will be stretched. The baffle 59 is pulled out of the gap of the installation frame 54. The opening position moves up and no longer blocks the slider C57. Therefore, when the spring D58 recovers its deformation, it pushes the slider C57 to slide outward from the gap, causing the slider B56 to tend to slide into the gap. After that, the rotating frame 52 continues to rotate, and the toner cartridge 0 can squeeze the slider B56 to slide into the gap. Then, the mounting frame 54 is moved up by the rotating frame 52, and the toner cartridge 0 is separated from the mounting frame 54. Finally, the spring C55 drives the mounting frame 54 to slide back to its position relative to the rotating frame 52 and the baffle 59, and the baffle 59 squeezes the slider C57 to move back into the gap.

[0052] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Fig.10 and Fig.11 The device also includes: a material taking mechanism on the base 11, and the material taking mechanism is used to take out the toner cartridge 0 that has completed the detection in the detector 12.

[0053] The material picking mechanism includes: a mounting frame D61 fixedly mounted on the base 11, the mounting frame D61 is located on the right side of the detector 12; a gripper 62 rotatably mounted on the mounting frame D61; a clamping block 63 rotatably mounted on the gripper 62; a torsion spring C64 sleeved on the rotating shaft of the clamping block 63, the two ends of the torsion spring C64 are respectively fixed on the gripper 62 and the clamping block 63; a connecting arm 65 fixedly mounted on the rotating shaft of the gripper 62; a torsion spring D66 sleeved on the rotating shaft of the gripper 62, the two ends of the torsion spring D66 are respectively fixed on the gripper 62 and the mounting frame D61.

[0054] Rotate the connecting arm 65. When the upper end of the connecting arm 65 rotates to the left, the gripper 62 will be driven to rotate to the left, so that the gripper 62 extends into the detector 12, and the block 63 passes through the toner cartridge 0. Then the torsion spring C64 turns back to the block 63, so that the gripper 62 fixes the toner cartridge 0. Then the upper end of the connecting arm 65 rotates to the right, driving the gripper 62 to rotate out of the detector 12 and take out the toner cartridge 0 to achieve material removal.

[0055] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Fig.10 and Fig.12 , the device further comprises: a transmission mechanism B arranged on the base 11, the transmission mechanism B is used to drive the connecting arm 65 to rotate;

[0056] The transmission mechanism B includes: a guide frame 71 fixedly mounted on the base 11; a sliding seat 72 slidably mounted on the guide frame 71; a connecting block 73 slidably mounted on the front side of the sliding seat 72, a push arm 53 is provided with an inclined surface, and the connecting block 73 can contact the inclined surface of the push arm 53; a spring E74 fixedly connected between the connecting block 73 and the sliding seat 72; a protrusion 75 fixedly mounted on the slider A34, and the protrusion 75 can contact the connecting block 73; and a connecting rod C76 rotatably mounted between the connecting arm 65 and the sliding seat 72.

[0057] When the slider A34 moves to the left and opens the top cover 1201, the slider A34 pushes the sliding shaft 37 and the sliding seat 72 to the left through the protrusion 75. The sliding seat 72 moves to the left and causes the upper end of the connecting arm 65 to rotate to the left through the connecting rod C76, so that the gripper 62 is extended into the detector 12; before the slider A34 contacts the push arm 53, it will first drive the connecting block 73 to contact the push arm 53, and the connecting block 73 is squeezed by the push arm 53 to slide into the sliding seat 72, and the spring E74 is squeezed, so that the connecting block 73 is disengaged from the protrusion 75, so the torsion spring D66 recovers its deformation and turns back to the connecting arm 65, causing the upper end of the connecting arm 65 to rotate to the right, and the toner cartridge 0 is taken out of the detector 12, and the connecting rod C76 moves the sliding seat 72 to the right to reset, and the spring E74 moves the connecting block 73 forward to reset.

[0058] Use this device to detect toner cartridge 0:

[0059] Before starting, place the toner cartridge 0 on the fixture 22, adjust the position of the top shaft 27 on the sliding plate 26, change the swing amplitude of the fixture 22, and then start the servo motor 28 to operate the device.

[0060] During the process, the servo motor 28 controls the fixing device 22 to swing the toner cartridge 0, so that the developing roller of the toner cartridge 0 is fully powdered, and the convex tooth B4202 on the gear ring 42 drives the gear B44 to rotate, thereby controlling the rotating rod 32 to rotate one circle, and controlling the slider A34 to move left and right.

[0061] During the process of the slider A34 moving to the left, the top cover 1201 will be controlled to open first, and then the gripper 62 will be controlled to extend into the detector 12 to fix the toner cartridge 0, and after the slider A34 drives the sliding connection block 73 to contact the push arm 53, the gripper 62 will be controlled to take out the toner cartridge 0, and then the slider A34 will contact the push arm 53, and the mounting frame 54 will be controlled to add a new toner cartridge 0 that has been powdered on the fixing device 22 into the detector 12.

[0062] During the right movement of the slider A34, the rotating frame 52 reverses and restores its position, and the slider A34 controls the closing of the top cover 1201 to inspect the toner cartridge 0. Finally, the operator only needs to continuously add new toner cartridges 0 to the fixing device 22 and remove the inspected toner cartridges 0 from the gripper 62 during the subsequent inspection process.

[0063] The present invention automatically swings the toner cartridge 0 by setting a swing mechanism, so that the swing amplitude of the toner cartridge 0 is regular, and the developing roller of the toner cartridge 0 is evenly coated with powder. The swing speed can also be increased, thereby improving the efficiency of the detection of the toner cartridge 0 and the detection result. An opening and closing mechanism and a feeding mechanism are automatically set to automatically realize the automatic loading of the toner cartridge 0. The opening and closing mechanism and the feeding mechanism cooperate with the swing mechanism to smooth the loading process of the toner cartridge 0, thereby further improving the detection efficiency of the present invention.

[0064] The present invention sets a material taking mechanism to promptly take out the toner cartridge 0 that has completed the inspection in the detector 12, so that the subsequent loading mechanism can add a new round of toner cartridges 0 into the detector 12. While being convenient to use, the inspection process of the toner cartridge 0 can be carried out continuously, thereby making the operation of the device more streamlined, and further improving the inspection efficiency of the present invention.

[0065] The present invention sets transmission mechanism A and transmission mechanism B so that the swing mechanism, opening and closing mechanism, feeding mechanism and material taking mechanism can be highly coordinated and accurately docked. Therefore, when operating the present invention, there is no need to adjust the various mechanisms, and it can be used smoothly, making the present invention convenient to use, and can optimize the setting of the power source, thereby improving the use efficiency of the present invention.

[0066] The above-mentioned embodiment only expresses one implementation mode of the present invention, and its description is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the patent of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this field, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, which all belong to the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention shall be based on the attached claims.
