[0158] In the following description, a large number of specific details are provided to provide a more thorough understanding of the present disclosure. However, it is apparent to those skilled in the art that the present disclosure can be implemented without one or more of these details. In other examples, in order to avoid confusion with the present disclosure, some technical features well known in the art are not described.

[0159] In an image forming apparatus, such as Figure 1As shown, a box 400 is usually installed. The box 400 stores a developer, and the developer is used to display an image. The box 400 is detachably installed in the image forming device. The image forming device can be an inkjet printer, the corresponding developer is ink, and the box 400 is an ink cartridge storing ink, or a device for storing ink in the image forming device. The image forming device can also be a laser printer, the corresponding developer is toner, and the box 400 is a processing box, a developing box, a powder box, etc. storing toner.

[0160] During the use of the image forming apparatus, the developer in the cartridge 400 will decrease. In order to ensure sufficient developer, the developer container 300 can replenish the developer to the cartridge 400. In order to prevent unqualified developer from being replenished into the cartridge 400, the developer container 300 can be used to replenish the developer to the cartridge 400. Figure 2 As shown, the box 400 includes a locking structure 410 to lock the moving structure 430 of the box 400 .

[0161] The present disclosure provides an adapter 100, which is applied to a developer replenishing system of an image forming device. The adapter 100 is used to be connected to a body 310 of a developer container 300 so that the developer in the body 310 of the developer container 300 is replenished into a box 400. The adapter 100 includes an unlocking structure 110, which can unlock a locking structure 410 of the box 400, so that the developer in the body 310 of the developer container 300 is replenished into the box 400. The box 400 also includes a moving structure 430, which can be locked by the locking structure 410. The adapter 100 can release the seal of the box 400 so that the locking structure 410 of the box 400 is separated from the moving structure 430 of the box 400, so that the developer can be injected into the box 400.

[0162] The locking structure 410 can lock the moving structure 430. The locking structure 410 can limit the movement of the moving structure 430. The locking structure 410 moves between a locking position and an unlocking position relative to the moving structure 430. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the locking structure 410 in the locking position is connected to the moving structure 430. The locking structure 410 in the locking position restricts the movement of the moving structure 430. When the locking structure 410 is in the locking position, the moving structure 430 does not move. The unlocking structure 110 can move the locking structure 410 from the locking position to the unlocking position. Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the locking structure 410 at the unlocked position is separated from the moving structure 430. The locking structure 410 at the unlocked position no longer restricts the movement of the moving structure 430.

[0163] In this way, the unlocking structure 110 can unlock the locking structure 410 of the box 400 to separate the locking structure 410 of the box 400 from the moving structure 430 of the box 400 , thereby allowing the developer in the body 310 of the developer container 300 to be replenished into the box 400 .

[0164] According to the adapter 100 of the present disclosure, the adapter 100 includes an unlocking structure 110, which is used to unlock the locking structure 410 of the box 400, so that the locking structure 410 of the box 400 is separated from the moving structure 430 of the box 400. In this way, the unlocking structure 110 of the adapter 100 can release the locking of the moving structure 430 by the locking structure 410 of the box 400, so that the developer can enter the box 400, thereby effectively reducing the state that the channel of the box is always connected, reducing the possible problems of ink leakage during the installation of the developer container to the box, and ink leakage causing the channel of the box to be contaminated.

[0165] Further, the unlocking structure 110 includes an unlocking member 111, and the unlocking member 111 is used to unlock the locking structure 410. The unlocking member 111 is used to apply a force to the locking structure 410. The unlocking member 111 can apply a force to the unlocking structure 110 located in the locked position. When the locking member 412 releases the locking of the moving structure 430 by the locking structure 410, the moving structure 430 can move. Under the action of the unlocking member 111, the locking structure 410 located in the locked position can move from the locked position to the unlocking position. When the unlocking member 111 no longer applies a force to the locking structure 410, the locking structure 410 resumes locking the moving structure 430.

[0166] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the unlocking member 111 can contact the locking structure 410 along the first direction D1. The unlocking member 111 applies a force to the locking structure 410 along the first direction D1. The locking structure 410 can move along the first direction D1. The first direction D1 can be parallel to the first radial direction of the body 310 of the developer container 300. The first direction D1 can be parallel to the length direction of the box. The first direction D1 can be perpendicular to the height direction of the box. The first direction D1 can be perpendicular to the thickness direction of the box. The first direction D1 can also be parallel to the length direction of the image forming device.

[0167] The unlocking member 111 applies a force to the locking structure 410 along the first direction D1, so that the locking structure 410 is unlocked. The unlocking member 111 applies a force to the locking structure 410 along the first direction D1, so that the locking structure 410 can move. The locking structure 410 can move along the first direction D1. Under the action of the unlocking member 111, the locking structure 410 moves in a direction perpendicular to the first direction D1.

[0168] like Figure 8 As shown, the unlocking structure 110 includes a main member 112, and the main member 112 is connected to the unlocking member 111. The main member 112 is provided with an unlocking member 111. The main member 112 is connected to the unlocking member 111. The unlocking member 111 protrudes from the surface of the main member 112 along the first direction D1. The unlocking member 111 protrudes from the surface of the main member 112 toward the body 310 away from the developer container 300 along the first direction D1. In a possible implementation, the main member 112 is fixedly connected to the unlocking member 111. The main member 112 and the unlocking member 111 can be connected together by injection molding or integral molding. For example, the surface of the main member 112 is fixedly connected to the unlocking member 111. The surface of the main member 112 and the unlocking member 111 can be connected together by injection molding or integral molding. In another possible implementation, the main member 112 is detachably connected to the unlocking member 111. The unlocking member 111 and the main member 112 are connected together by snapping. For example, the surface of the main body member 112 is detachably connected to the unlocking member 111. The unlocking member 111 and the surface of the main body member 112 are connected together by snapping.

[0169] In order to prevent the unlocking structure 110 from being disengaged, the unlocking structure 110 further includes a positioning member 113, which is connected to the main body member 112. The positioning member 113 and the unlocking member 111 are respectively located on both sides of the main body member 112. The positioning member 113 is located on the opposite side of the main body member 112 connected to the unlocking member 111. The positioning member 113 and the unlocking member 111 are respectively located on both sides of the main body member 112 along the first direction D1. Fig.10 As shown, the main body member 112 includes a first surface 115 and a second surface 116, and the first surface 115 and the second surface 116 face opposite directions along the first direction D1. The first surface 115 is connected to the unlocking member 111. The positioning member 113 is located on the second surface 116. The second surface 116 is connected to the positioning member 113. That is, the positioning member 113 is located on the second surface 116 of the main body member 112 that is opposite to the unlocking member 111.

[0170] In one possible implementation, the first surface 115 and the unlocking member 111 can be fixed together. The second surface 116 and the positioning member 113 are fixed together. For example, the first surface 115 and the unlocking member 111 are connected together by injection molding. The second surface 116 and the positioning member 113 are connected together by injection molding. In another possible implementation, the first surface 115 and the unlocking member 111 are detachably connected. The second surface 116 and the positioning member 113 are detachably connected.

[0171] like Figure 12 to Figure 14In the illustrated embodiment, the box 400 further includes a receiving structure 461, in which a locking structure 410 is disposed. The unlocking member 111 can enter the receiving structure 461. The receiving structure 461 can protect the locking structure 410 from accidental contact and prevent the locking structure 410 from moving when not acted upon by the unlocking member 111. The unlocking member 111 can apply a force to the locking structure 410 in the receiving structure 461.

[0172] When the unlocking member 111 unlocks the locking structure 410, the positioning member 113 is connected to the receiving structure 461. In particular, the receiving structure 461 also includes a snap-fitting member, which is cooperatively connected with the positioning member 113. Thus, during the developer replenishment process, the body 310 of the developer container 300 is prevented from freely moving upward.

[0212] The mating member 210 can rotate relative to the unlocking structure 110. The mating member 210 can rotate relative to the unlocking structure 110 around the axial direction of the injection structure 200. The mating member 210 can rotate relative to the unlocking structure 110 around the third direction D3. The mating member 210 can rotate along the circumferential direction of the injection structure 200 relative to the unlocking structure 110. The rotation of the mating member 210 can drive the locking structure 450 of the box 400 to rotate. The locking structure 450 is connected to the moving structure 430, thereby driving the moving structure 430 to rotate.

[0213] When the unlocking structure 110 unlocks the locking structure 410, the matching component 210 is sleeved on the outside of the snap-fit ​​structure 450 of the box 400. When the unlocking structure 110 drives the locking structure 410 to move to the unlocking position, the matching component 210 abuts against the snap-fit ​​structure 450 of the box 400. The matching component 210 abuts against the snap-fit ​​structure 450 along the circumferential direction of the injection structure 200. The matching component 210 is tightly fitted with the snap-fit ​​structure 450 along the circumferential direction of the injection structure 200.

[0214] The unlocking member 111 protrudes from the surface of the main member 112 along the first direction D1. Figure 2As shown, the injection structure 200 includes an interface unit 211, and the interface unit 211 is used for discharging the developer. The interface unit 211 is located on the side of the unlocking member 111. The interface unit 211 is located on the side of the unlocking member 111 along the first direction D1. The interface unit 211 is spaced apart from the unlocking member 111 along the first direction D1. The unlocking member 111 protrudes from the surface of the main member 112 toward the interface unit 211. In this embodiment, the "surface of the main member 112" refers to the surface of the main member 112 facing the interface unit 211. The unlocking member 111 protrudes from the surface of the main member 112 toward the interface unit 211 along the first direction D1. As a result, it is convenient for the unlocking member 111 to contact with the locking structure 410, so that it is convenient for the unlocking member 111 to apply a force to the locking structure 410.

[0215] The matching member 210 includes an interface unit 211, and the interface unit 211 is connected to the interior of the body 310 of the developer container 300. The interface unit 211 penetrates the matching member 210 along the third direction D3. The interface unit 211 is configured as a passage. The developer can enter the box 400 through the interface unit 211. When the unlocking member 111 releases the locking structure 410 from locking the moving structure 430, the snap-fit ​​structure 450 extends into the interface unit 211. The interface unit 211 abuts against the snap-fit ​​structure 450. A portion of the snap-fit ​​structure 450 is located in the interface unit 211. Thus, it is ensured that the developer can enter the snap-fit ​​structure 450 of the box 400, and the developer is prevented from leaking from the connection.

[0216] The interface unit 211 includes an open opening. The opening is open toward the outside of the interface unit 211. The snap-fit ​​structure 450 can enter the interface unit 211 through the open opening. Preferably, the shape of the interface unit 211 matches the shape of the snap-fit ​​structure 450. The interface unit 211 may include a groove 212, and the snap-fit ​​structure 450 may include a protrusion, and the groove 212 and the protrusion cooperate. The protrusion is located in the groove 212. The groove 212 abuts against the protrusion. The protrusion abuts against the groove 212 along the circumferential direction of the injection structure 200. The protrusion fits tightly with the groove 212 along the circumferential direction of the injection structure 200.

[0217] Two of the at least two unlocking structures 110 are located on both sides of the interface unit 211. The interface unit 211 is located between two of the at least two unlocking structures 110. Figure 4In the preferred embodiment shown, the adapter 100 includes a first unlocking structure 131 and a second unlocking structure 132, and the first unlocking structure 131 and the second unlocking structure 132 are arranged at intervals along the first direction D1. The first unlocking structure 131 and the second unlocking structure 132 are respectively located on both sides of the interface unit 211. The interface unit 211 is located between the first unlocking structure 131 and the second unlocking structure 132. In this way, the developer is ensured to be discharged smoothly.

[0218] The first surface 115 faces the interface unit 211 along the first direction D1. The second surface 116 faces away from the interface unit 211 along the first direction D1. In order to make the shape of the unlocking structure 110 match the shape of the interface unit 211, the first surface 115 and the second surface 116 are configured as substantially curved surfaces, and the third surface is configured as a substantially flat surface. The guide member 114 protrudes from the third surface along the second direction D2. The shape of the receiving structure 461 matches the shape of the interface unit 211, and the receiving structure 461 includes a substantially curved surface, and the curved surface of the receiving structure 461 is opposite to the second surface 116. The curved surface of the receiving structure 461 is opposite to the second surface 116 along the first direction D1.

[0219] The matching component 210 and the snap-fit ​​structure 450 can adopt a triangular matching positional relationship, which is not limited to triangular matching, and can also be circular matching, regular quadrilateral matching, irregular quadrilateral matching or special-shaped matching. The matching component 210 may include at least two grooves 212, and the snap-fit ​​structure 450 may include at least two protrusions, and the at least two grooves 212 and the at least two protrusions are matched respectively. At least two protrusions are respectively located in at least two grooves 212. At least two grooves 212 and at least two protrusions are respectively abutted. In this way, stress can be evenly dispersed to avoid stress concentration and protrusion fracture. Of course, the matching component 210 can also be constructed as a structure of other non-centrally symmetrical shapes, and the snap-fit ​​structure 450 can be constructed as other non-centrally symmetrical shapes, and the structure of the matching component 210 and the structure of the snap-fit ​​structure 450 are matched.

[0220] In order to prevent leakage of developer, the injection structure 200 further includes a sealing member, which is located in the matching member 210. The sealing member is used to seal the injection structure 200. The rotation of the matching member 210 can cause the engaging structure 450 to rotate. The rotation of the engaging structure 450 can drive the moving structure 430 to move along the third direction D3. The moving structure 430 can apply a force to the sealing member to release the seal of the sealing member. The rotation of the matching member 210 can drive the engaging structure 450 to move toward the direction of the connecting member 230, so that the engaging structure 450 passes through the sealing member and enters the interior of the connecting member 230.

[0221] In one possible implementation, Figure 2As shown, the sealing member includes a sealing film unit 241, and the sealing film unit 241 is located in the matching member. In particular, the sealing film unit 241 can be located in the interface unit 211. When the developer container 300 is inverted, the developer in the body 310 of the developer container 300 will not leak through the sealing film unit 241. When the matching member 210 and the snap-fit ​​structure 450 rotate to drive the moving structure 430 to move along the third direction D3 toward the inside of the body 310 of the developer container 300, the snap-fit ​​structure 450 can pass through the sealing film unit 241, thereby opening the sealing film unit 241, so that the developer in the body 310 of the developer container 300 moves to the box 400 through the interface unit 211.

[0222] like Figure 1 As shown, the sealing member may further include an ink injection film unit 320, and the ink injection film unit 320 is connected to the injection structure 200. The ink injection film unit 320 may cover the injection structure 200. The ink injection film unit 320 is located outside the sealing film unit 241. When in use, the ink injection film unit 320 may be removed first, and then the body 310 of the developer container 300 may be inverted and inserted into the receiving structure 461.

[0223] In another possible implementation, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the sealing member includes a sealing piston unit 242 and a sealing spring unit 243, and the sealing piston unit 242 is located in the matching member 210. The sealing piston unit 242 is located in the injection structure 200. The sealing piston unit 242 can move along the third direction D3. The sealing piston unit 242 includes a piston terminal unit along the third direction D3, and the piston terminal unit is against the injection structure 200. The sealing piston unit 242 is also used to seal the injection structure 200. The sealing member seals the injection structure 200 to prevent the developer from being discharged. Thereby, leakage of the developer is prevented. In particular, the sealing member can prevent the developer from being discharged through the mouth structure and the injection structure 200. When the unlocking structure 110 releases the locking structure 410 from locking the moving structure 430, the developer in the injection structure 200 can enter the moving structure 430.

[0224] When the unlocking structure 110 releases the locking structure 410 from the moving structure 430, a portion of the moving structure 430 is located in the injection structure 200. A portion of the moving structure 430 can enter the injection structure 200 through the injection structure 200. The moving structure 430 includes a channel member 452 (the channel member 452 is Fig.16 ), the channel member 452 is located in the injection structure 200. The channel member 452 enters the injection structure 200 through the injection structure 200.

[0225] The sealing piston unit 242 is movably connected to the body 310 of the developer container 300 along the third direction D3. The sealing piston unit 242 is movable between a sealing position and an open position relative to the body 310 of the developer container 300. The sealing piston unit 242 is movable between a sealing position and an open position along the third direction D3. The sealing piston unit 242 located at the sealing position closes the injection structure 200. The sealing piston unit 242 located at the sealing position closes the connecting member 230. The sealing piston unit 242 located at the sealing position is tightly fitted with the injection structure 200. The sealing piston unit 242 located at the sealing position can block the mouth structure of the body 310 of the developer container 300. The sealing piston unit 242 located at the sealing position can prevent the developer from being discharged toward the outside of the body 310 of the developer container 300.

[0226] The sealing piston unit 242 at the open position is spaced apart from the injection structure 200 so that the channel member 452 of the moving structure 430 is communicated with the mouth structure. There is a gap between the sealing piston unit 242 at the open position and the injection structure 200. The developer inside the body 310 of the developer container 300 enters the injection structure 200 through the gap between the sealing piston unit 242 at the open position and the injection structure 200. The channel member 452 of the moving structure 430 is communicated with the inside of the body 310 of the developer container 300. The developer inside the body 310 of the developer container 300 can enter the channel member 452 of the moving structure 430.

[0227] When the mating component 210 and the snap-fit ​​structure 450 rotate to drive the movable structure 430 to move along the third direction D3 toward the interior of the main body 310 of the developer container 300, the snap-fit ​​structure 450 can apply a force to the sealing piston unit 242 located at the sealing position so that the sealing piston unit 242 can move to the open position. The sealing piston unit 242 located at the open position is spaced apart from the injection structure 200, so that the developer in the main body 310 of the developer container 300 moves to the channel component 452 of the movable structure 430 through the injection structure 200.

[0228] In order to facilitate the return of the sealing piston unit 242, the two ends of the sealing spring unit 243 along the third direction D3 are respectively against the body 310 of the developer container 300 and the sealing piston unit 242. The sealing spring unit 243 can apply an elastic force to the sealing piston unit 242 so that the sealing piston unit 242 moves toward the injection structure 200. One end of the sealing spring unit 243 along the third direction D3 is against the body 310 of the developer container 300. The other end of the sealing spring unit 243 along the third direction D3 is against the sealing piston unit 242. The movement of the sealing piston unit 242 can cause the sealing spring unit 243 to produce elastic deformation.

[0229] The sealing piston unit 242 at the open position compresses the sealing spring unit 243. The sealing piston unit 242 at the sealing position moves toward the inside of the body 310 of the developer container 300 to compress the sealing spring unit 243. The sealing spring unit 243 generates elastic deformation to generate an elastic force. The sealing spring unit 243 applies an elastic force to the sealing piston unit 242 at the open position to return to the sealing position. The sealing spring unit 243 applies an elastic force along the third direction D3 toward the injection structure 200 to the sealing piston unit 242 at the open position. The elastic force acts on the sealing piston unit 242 at the open position. The elastic force enables the sealing piston unit 242 at the open position to move to the sealing position.

[0230] Of course, the sealing piston unit 242 located in the open position can also return to the sealing position in other ways. For example, the sealing piston unit 242 located in the open position can also return to the sealing position under the action of gravity, which is not limited in this embodiment.

[0231] Preferably, a force member 435 is further provided at the top of the engaging structure 450, and the force member 435 protrudes toward the outside of the box 400. The force member 435 can pass through the sealing film unit 241 or the force member 435 can push the sealing piston unit 242, so that the developer can move into the engaging structure 450, and then move into the moving structure 430. A sealing ring 436 is also sleeved on the outer side of the force member 435. The sealing ring 436 is located between the force member 435 and the injection structure 200, so as to prevent the developer from leaking.

[0232] The present disclosure also provides a developer container 300, which includes a body 310 of the developer container 300 and an adapter 100, wherein the adapter 100 includes an unlocking structure 110 and an injection structure 200, and the injection structure 200 is used to connect the unlocking structure 110 and the body 310 of the developer container 300 and allow the developer in the body 310 of the developer container 300 to pass through. The unlocking structure 110 is connected to the body 310 of the developer container 300 through the injection structure 200. The adapter 100 is mounted to the body 310 of the developer container 300. The adapter 100 may be fixed to the body 310 of the developer container 300, or the adapter 100 may be detachably connected to the body 310 of the developer container 300.

[0233] In a possible implementation, the body 310 of the developer container 300 is fixedly connected to the adapter 100. The body 310 of the developer container 300 and the adapter 100 can be connected together by injection molding or integral molding. In another possible implementation, the body 310 of the developer container 300 and the adapter 100 are detachably connected. The adapter 100 and the body 310 of the developer container 300 are connected together by threaded connection. The adapter 100 can also be removed from the body 310 of the developer container 300.

[0234] Optionally, the body 310 of the developer container 300 is fixedly connected to the injection structure 200. The body 310 of the developer container 300 and the injection structure 200 can be connected together by injection molding or integral molding. Optionally, the body 310 of the developer container 300 and the injection structure 200 are detachably connected. The injection structure 200 and the body 310 of the developer container 300 are connected together by threaded connection. The injection structure 200 can also be removed from the body 310 of the developer container 300.

[0235] According to the developer container 300 disclosed in the present invention, the developer container 300 includes a body 310 of the developer container 300 and an adapter 100, the adapter 100 includes an unlocking structure 110 and an injection structure 200, the injection structure 200 is used to connect the unlocking structure 110 and the body 310 of the developer container 300, and allow the developer in the body 310 of the developer container 300 to pass through, and the unlocking structure 110 is used to unlock the locking structure 410 of the box 400, so that the locking structure 410 of the box 400 is separated from the moving structure 430 of the box 400. In this way, the unlocking structure 110 of the adapter 100 can release the locking of the moving structure 430 by the locking structure 410 of the box 400, so that the developer in the developer container 300 can enter the box 400, thereby effectively reducing the state that the channel of the box is always kept connected, reducing the possible problems of ink leakage during the installation of the developer container 300 to the box 400, and ink leakage causing the channel of the box 400 to be contaminated.

[0236] The unlocking structure 110 can unlock the locking structure 410 of the cartridge 400, so that the developer in the body 310 of the developer container 300 is replenished into the cartridge 400. The moving structure 430 can be locked by the locking structure 410. The adapter 100 can release the seal of the cartridge 400 to separate the locking structure 410 of the cartridge 400 from the moving structure 430 of the cartridge 400, so that the developer can be injected into the cartridge 400.

[0237] The locking structure 410 can lock the moving structure 430. The locking structure 410 can limit the movement of the moving structure 430. The locking structure 410 moves between a locking position and an unlocking position relative to the moving structure 430. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the locking structure 410 in the locking position is connected to the moving structure 430. The locking structure 410 in the locking position restricts the movement of the moving structure 430. When the locking structure 410 is in the locking position, the moving structure 430 does not move. The unlocking structure 110 can move the locking structure 410 from the locking position to the unlocking position. Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the locking structure 410 at the unlocked position is separated from the moving structure 430. The locking structure 410 at the unlocked position no longer restricts the movement of the moving structure 430.

[0238] In this way, the unlocking structure 110 can unlock the locking structure 410 of the box 400 to separate the locking structure 410 of the box 400 from the moving structure 430 of the box 400 , thereby allowing the developer in the body 310 of the developer container 300 to be replenished into the box 400 .

[0239] Further, the unlocking structure 110 includes an unlocking member 111, and the unlocking member 111 is used to unlock the locking structure 410. The unlocking member 111 is used to apply a force to the locking structure 410. The unlocking member 111 can apply a force to the unlocking structure 110 located in the locked position. When the locking member 412 releases the locking of the moving structure 430 by the locking structure 410, the moving structure 430 can move. Under the action of the unlocking member 111, the locking structure 410 located in the locked position can move from the locked position to the unlocking position. When the unlocking member 111 no longer applies a force to the locking structure 410, the locking structure 410 resumes locking the moving structure 430.

[0240] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the unlocking member 111 can contact the locking structure 410 along the first direction D1. The unlocking member 111 applies a force to the locking structure 410 along the first direction D1. The locking structure 410 can move along the first direction D1. The first direction D1 can be parallel to the first radial direction of the body 310 of the developer container 300. The first direction D1 can be parallel to the length direction of the box. The first direction D1 can be perpendicular to the height direction of the box. The first direction D1 can be perpendicular to the thickness direction of the box.

[0241] The unlocking member 111 applies a force to the locking structure 410 along the first direction D1, so that the locking structure 410 is unlocked. The unlocking member 111 applies a force to the locking structure 410 along the first direction D1, so that the locking structure 410 can move. The locking structure 410 can move along the first direction D1. Under the action of the unlocking member 111, the locking structure 410 moves in a direction perpendicular to the first direction D1.

[0242] like Figure 8 As shown, the unlocking structure 110 includes a main member 112, and the main member 112 is connected to the unlocking member 111. The main member 112 is provided with an unlocking member 111. The main member 112 is connected to the unlocking member 111. The unlocking member 111 protrudes from the surface of the main member 112 along the first direction D1. The unlocking member 111 protrudes from the surface of the main member 112 toward the body 310 away from the developer container 300 along the first direction D1. In a possible implementation, the main member 112 is fixedly connected to the unlocking member 111. The main member 112 and the unlocking member 111 can be connected together by injection molding or integral molding. For example, the surface of the main member 112 is fixedly connected to the unlocking member 111. The surface of the main member 112 and the unlocking member 111 can be connected together by injection molding or integral molding. In another possible implementation, the main member 112 is detachably connected to the unlocking member 111. The unlocking member 111 and the main member 112 are connected together by snapping. For example, the surface of the main body member 112 is detachably connected to the unlocking member 111. The unlocking member 111 and the surface of the main body member 112 are connected together by snapping.

[0243] In order to prevent the unlocking structure 110 from being disengaged, the unlocking structure 110 further includes a positioning member 113, which is connected to the main body member 112. The positioning member 113 and the unlocking member 111 are respectively located on both sides of the main body member 112. The positioning member 113 is located on the opposite side of the main body member 112 connected to the unlocking member 111. The positioning member 113 and the unlocking member 111 are respectively located on both sides of the main body member 112 along the first direction D1. Fig.10 As shown, the main body member 112 includes a first surface 115 and a second surface 116, and the first surface 115 and the second surface 116 face opposite directions along the first direction D1. The first surface 115 is connected to the unlocking member 111. The positioning member 113 is located on the second surface 116. The second surface 116 is connected to the positioning member 113. That is, the positioning member 113 is located on the second surface 116 of the main body member 112 that is opposite to the unlocking member 111.

[0244] In one possible implementation, the first surface 115 and the unlocking member 111 can be fixed together. The second surface 116 and the positioning member 113 are fixed together. For example, the first surface 115 and the unlocking member 111 are connected together by injection molding. The second surface 116 and the positioning member 113 are connected together by injection molding. In another possible implementation, the first surface 115 and the unlocking member 111 are detachably connected. The second surface 116 and the positioning member 113 are detachably connected.

[0245] like Figure 12 to Figure 14 In the illustrated embodiment, the box 400 further includes a receiving structure 461, in which a locking structure 410 is disposed. The unlocking member 111 can enter the receiving structure 461. The receiving structure 461 can protect the locking structure 410 from accidental contact and prevent the locking structure 410 from moving when not acted upon by the unlocking member 111. The unlocking member 111 can apply a force to the locking structure 410 in the receiving structure 461.

[0246] When the unlocking member 111 unlocks the locking structure 410, the positioning member 113 is connected to the receiving structure 461. In particular, the receiving structure 461 also includes a snap-fitting member, which is cooperatively connected with the positioning member 113. Thus, during the developer replenishment process, the body 310 of the developer container 300 is prevented from freely moving upward. The positioning member 113 is configured as a buckle, and the snap-fitting member is configured as a groove. The buckle protrudes in a direction away from the unlocking member 111 along the first direction D1. The groove penetrates the receiving structure 461 along the first direction D1. When the unlocking member 111 unlocks the locking structure 410, the buckle and the groove are snapped together.

The second radial direction of the body 310 of the developer container 300 intersects with the first radial direction of the body 310 of the developer container 300. Preferably, the second radial direction of the body 310 of the developer container 300 is perpendicular to the first radial direction of the body 310 of the developer container 300. Preferably, the guide member 114 is vertically connected to the unlocking member 111, and the guide member 114 can guide the unlocking member 111. The length direction of the guide member 114 is parallel to the length direction of the unlocking member 111. The extension direction of the guide member 114 is parallel to the extension direction of the unlocking member 111. The extension direction of the guide member 114 is parallel to the moving direction of the unlocking member 111. Optionally, the guide member 114 is configured as a guide rail, and the guide rail fits the receiving structure 461. Thus, it is possible to ensure that the unlocking member 111 moves toward the box 400 along the length direction of the guide member 114, and avoid the unlocking member 111 from deflecting.

[0248] The main body member 112 further includes a third surface, which is located between the first surface 115 and the second surface 116. The third surface intersects with the first surface 115.

The guide member 114 is closer to the outside of the body 310 of the developer container 300 along the second direction D2 than the unlocking member 111. In a possible implementation, the guide member 114 is directly connected to the unlocking member 111.

The guide member 114 is disposed adjacent to the unlocking member 111 along the second direction D2. The guide member 114 is vertically connected to the unlocking member 111.

[0250] In another possible implementation, the guide member 114 is spaced from the unlocking member 111. The guide member 114 is spaced from the unlocking member 111 along the second direction D2. The guide member 114 is connected to the main member 112. The guide member 114 is connected to the third surface of the main member 112. The main member 112 is arranged between the unlocking member 111 and the guide member 114. At least part of the main member 112 is arranged between the unlocking member 111 and the guide member 114. Optionally, a part of the main member 112 is arranged between the unlocking member 111 and the guide member 114. The entire main member 112 is arranged between the unlocking member 111 and the guide member 114. The guide member 114 guides the unlocking member 111 by guiding the main member 112.

[0285] The mating member 210 can rotate relative to the unlocking structure 110. The mating member 210 can rotate relative to the unlocking structure 110 around the axial direction of the injection structure 200. The mating member 210 can rotate relative to the unlocking structure 110 around the third direction D3. The mating member 210 can rotate along the circumferential direction of the injection structure 200 relative to the unlocking structure 110. The rotation of the mating member 210 can drive the locking structure 450 of the box 400 to rotate. The locking structure 450 is connected to the moving structure 430, thereby driving the moving structure 430 to rotate.

[0286] When the unlocking structure 110 unlocks the locking structure 410, the matching component 210 is sleeved on the outside of the snap-fit ​​structure 450 of the box 400. When the unlocking structure 110 drives the locking structure 410 to move to the unlocking position, the matching component 210 abuts against the snap-fit ​​structure 450 of the box 400. The matching component 210 abuts against the snap-fit ​​structure 450 along the circumferential direction of the injection structure 200. The matching component 210 is tightly fitted with the snap-fit ​​structure 450 along the circumferential direction of the injection structure 200.

[0287] The unlocking member 111 protrudes from the surface of the main member 112 along the first direction D1. Figure 2As shown, the injection structure 200 includes an interface unit 211, and the interface unit 211 is used for discharging the developer. The interface unit 211 is located on the side of the unlocking member 111. The interface unit 211 is located on the side of the unlocking member 111 along the first direction D1. The interface unit 211 is spaced apart from the unlocking member 111 along the first direction D1. The unlocking member 111 protrudes from the surface of the main member 112 toward the interface unit 211. In this embodiment, the "surface of the main member 112" refers to the surface of the main member 112 facing the interface unit 211. The unlocking member 111 protrudes from the surface of the main member 112 toward the interface unit 211 along the first direction D1. As a result, it is convenient for the unlocking member 111 to contact with the locking structure 410, so that it is convenient for the unlocking member 111 to apply a force to the locking structure 410.

[0288] Further, the matching member 210 includes an interface unit 211, and the interface unit 211 is connected to the interior of the body 310 of the developer container 300. The interface unit 211 penetrates the matching member 210 along the third direction D3. The interface unit 211 is configured as a passage. The developer can enter the box 400 through the interface unit 211. When the unlocking member 111 releases the locking structure 410 from locking the moving structure 430, the snap-fit ​​structure 450 extends into the interface unit 211. The interface unit 211 abuts against the snap-fit ​​structure 450. A portion of the snap-fit ​​structure 450 is located in the interface unit 211. Thus, it is ensured that the developer can enter the snap-fit ​​structure 450 of the box 400, and the developer is prevented from leaking from the connection.

[0289] The interface unit 211 includes an open opening. The opening is open toward the outside of the interface unit 211. The snap-fit ​​structure 450 can enter the interface unit 211 through the open opening. Preferably, the shape of the interface unit 211 matches the shape of the snap-fit ​​structure 450. The interface unit 211 may include a groove 212, and the snap-fit ​​structure 450 may include a protrusion, and the groove 212 and the protrusion cooperate. The protrusion is located in the groove 212. The groove 212 abuts against the protrusion. The protrusion abuts against the groove 212 along the circumferential direction of the injection structure 200. The protrusion fits tightly with the groove 212 along the circumferential direction of the injection structure 200.

[0290] Two of the at least two unlocking structures 110 are located on both sides of the interface unit 211. The interface unit 211 is located between two of the at least two unlocking structures 110. Figure 4In the preferred embodiment shown, the adapter 100 includes a first unlocking structure 131 and a second unlocking structure 132, and the first unlocking structure 131 and the second unlocking structure 132 are arranged at intervals along the first direction D1. The first unlocking structure 131 and the second unlocking structure 132 are respectively located on both sides of the interface unit 211. The interface unit 211 is located between the first unlocking structure 131 and the second unlocking structure 132. In this way, the developer is ensured to be discharged smoothly.

[0291] The first surface 115 faces the interface unit 211 along the first direction D1. The second surface 116 faces away from the interface unit 211 along the first direction D1. In order to make the shape of the unlocking structure 110 match the shape of the interface unit 211, the first surface 115 and the second surface 116 are configured as substantially curved surfaces, and the third surface is configured as a substantially flat surface. The guide member 114 protrudes from the third surface along the second direction D2. The shape of the receiving structure 461 matches the shape of the interface unit 211, and the receiving structure 461 includes a substantially curved surface, and the curved surface of the receiving structure 461 is opposite to the second surface 116. The curved surface of the receiving structure 461 is opposite to the second surface 116 along the first direction D1.

[0292] The matching component 210 and the snap-fit ​​structure 450 can adopt a triangular matching positional relationship, which is not limited to triangular matching, and can also be circular matching, regular quadrilateral matching, irregular quadrilateral matching or special-shaped matching. The matching component 210 may include at least two grooves 212, and the snap-fit ​​structure 450 may include at least two protrusions, and the at least two grooves 212 and the at least two protrusions are matched respectively. At least two protrusions are respectively located in at least two grooves 212. At least two grooves 212 and at least two protrusions are respectively abutted. In this way, stress can be evenly dispersed to avoid stress concentration and protrusion fracture. Of course, the matching component 210 can also be constructed as a structure of other non-centrally symmetrical shapes, and the snap-fit ​​structure 450 can be constructed as other non-centrally symmetrical shapes, and the structure of the matching component 210 and the structure of the snap-fit ​​structure 450 are matched.

[0293] In order to prevent leakage of developer, the injection structure 200 further includes a sealing member, which is located in the matching member 210 so as to separate the interior of the matching member 210 from the interior of the connecting member 230. When the developer container 300 is inverted, the developer in the body 310 of the developer container 300 will not leak through the sealing member. The sealing member is used to seal the injection structure 200. The rotation of the matching member 210 can cause the engaging structure 450 to rotate. The rotation of the engaging structure 450 can drive the moving structure 430 to move along the third direction D3. The moving structure 430 can apply a force to the sealing member to release the seal of the sealing member. The rotation of the matching member 210 can drive the engaging structure 450 to move toward the direction of the connecting member 230, so that the engaging structure 450 passes through the sealing member and enters the interior of the connecting member 230.

[0294] In one possible implementation, Figure 2 As shown, the sealing member includes a sealing film unit 241, and the sealing film unit 241 is located in the matching member. In particular, the sealing film unit 241 can be located in the interface unit 211. When the developer container 300 is inverted, the developer in the body 310 of the developer container 300 will not leak through the sealing film unit 241. When the matching member 210 and the snap-fit ​​structure 450 rotate to drive the moving structure 430 to move along the third direction D3 toward the inside of the body 310 of the developer container 300, the snap-fit ​​structure 450 can pass through the sealing film unit 241, thereby opening the sealing film unit 241. The inside of the connecting member 230 is connected to the inside of the snap-fit ​​structure 450 located at the extended position. In this way, the developer in the body 310 of the developer container 300 enters the inside of the snap-fit ​​structure 450 located at the extended position, thereby allowing the developer in the body 310 of the developer container 300 to move to the box 400 through the interface unit 211.

[0295] like Figure 1 As shown, the sealing member may further include an ink injection film unit 320, and the ink injection film unit 320 is connected to the injection structure 200. The ink injection film unit 320 may cover the injection structure 200. The ink injection film unit 320 is located outside the sealing film unit 241. When in use, the ink injection film unit 320 may be removed first, and then the body 310 of the developer container 300 may be inverted and inserted into the receiving structure 461.

[0296] In another possible implementation, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the sealing member includes a sealing piston unit 242 and a sealing spring unit 243, and the sealing piston unit 242 is located in the matching member 210. The sealing piston unit 242 is located in the injection structure 200. The sealing piston unit 242 can move along the third direction D3. The sealing piston unit 242 includes a piston terminal unit along the third direction D3, and the piston terminal unit is against the injection structure 200. The sealing piston unit 242 is also used to seal the injection structure 200. The sealing member seals the injection structure 200 to prevent the developer from being discharged. Thereby, leakage of the developer is prevented. In particular, the sealing member can prevent the developer from being discharged through the mouth structure and the injection structure 200. When the unlocking structure 110 releases the locking structure 410 from locking the moving structure 430, the developer in the injection structure 200 can enter the moving structure 430.

[0297] When the unlocking structure 110 releases the locking structure 410 from the moving structure 430, a portion of the moving structure 430 is located in the injection structure 200. A portion of the moving structure 430 can enter the injection structure 200 through the injection structure 200. The moving structure 430 includes a channel member 452 (the channel member 452 is Fig.16 ), the channel member 452 is located in the injection structure 200. The channel member 452 enters the injection structure 200 through the injection structure 200.

[0298] The sealing piston unit 242 is movably connected to the body 310 of the developer container 300 along the third direction D3. The sealing piston unit 242 is movable between a sealing position and an open position relative to the body 310 of the developer container 300. The sealing piston unit 242 is movable between a sealing position and an open position along the third direction D3. The sealing piston unit 242 located at the sealing position closes the injection structure 200. The sealing piston unit 242 located at the sealing position closes the connecting member 230. The sealing piston unit 242 located at the sealing position is tightly fitted with the injection structure 200. The sealing piston unit 242 located at the sealing position can block the mouth structure of the body 310 of the developer container 300. The sealing piston unit 242 located at the sealing position can prevent the developer from being discharged toward the outside of the body 310 of the developer container 300.

[0299] The sealing piston unit 242 at the open position is spaced apart from the injection structure 200 so that the channel member 452 of the moving structure 430 is communicated with the mouth structure. There is a gap between the sealing piston unit 242 at the open position and the injection structure 200. The developer inside the body 310 of the developer container 300 enters the injection structure 200 through the gap between the sealing piston unit 242 at the open position and the injection structure 200. The channel member 452 of the moving structure 430 is communicated with the inside of the body 310 of the developer container 300. The developer inside the body 310 of the developer container 300 can enter the channel member 452 of the moving structure 430.

[0300] When the mating component 210 and the snap-fit ​​structure 450 rotate to drive the movable structure 430 to move along the third direction D3 toward the interior of the main body 310 of the developer container 300, the snap-fit ​​structure 450 can apply a force to the sealing piston unit 242 located at the sealing position so that the sealing piston unit 242 can move to the open position. The sealing piston unit 242 located at the open position is spaced apart from the injection structure 200, so that the developer in the main body 310 of the developer container 300 moves to the channel component 452 of the movable structure 430 through the injection structure 200.

[0301] In order to facilitate the return of the sealing piston unit 242, the two ends of the sealing spring unit 243 along the third direction D3 are respectively against the body 310 of the developer container 300 and the sealing piston unit 242. The sealing spring unit 243 can apply an elastic force to the sealing piston unit 242 so that the sealing piston unit 242 moves toward the injection structure 200. One end of the sealing spring unit 243 along the third direction D3 is against the body 310 of the developer container 300. The other end of the sealing spring unit 243 along the third direction D3 is against the sealing piston unit 242. The movement of the sealing piston unit 242 can cause the sealing spring unit 243 to produce elastic deformation.

[0302] The sealing piston unit 242 at the open position compresses the sealing spring unit 243. The sealing piston unit 242 at the sealing position moves toward the inside of the body 310 of the developer container 300 to compress the sealing spring unit 243. The sealing spring unit 243 generates elastic deformation to generate an elastic force. The sealing spring unit 243 applies an elastic force to the sealing piston unit 242 at the open position to return to the sealing position. The sealing spring unit 243 applies an elastic force along the third direction D3 toward the injection structure 200 to the sealing piston unit 242 at the open position. The elastic force acts on the sealing piston unit 242 at the open position. The elastic force enables the sealing piston unit 242 at the open position to move to the sealing position.

[0303] Of course, the sealing piston unit 242 located in the open position can also return to the sealing position in other ways. For example, the sealing piston unit 242 located in the open position can also return to the sealing position under the action of gravity, which is not limited in this embodiment.

[0304] Preferably, a force member 435 is further provided at the top of the engaging structure 450, and the force member 435 protrudes toward the outside of the box 400. The force member 435 can pass through the sealing film unit 241 or the force member 435 can push the sealing piston unit 242, so that the developer can move into the engaging structure 450, and then move into the moving structure 430. A sealing ring 436 is also sleeved on the outer side of the force member 435. The sealing ring 436 is located between the force member 435 and the injection structure 200, so as to prevent the developer from leaking.

[0305] The developer container 300 has a body 310 provided therein with developer. The developer can enter the cartridge 400 through the adapter 100. To facilitate developer discharge, the interface unit 211 of the adapter 100 communicates with the body 310 of the developer container 300 for discharging the developer.

[0306] The body 310 of the developer container 300 includes a mouth structure, which is connected to the injection structure 200. The mouth structure is located at the free end of the body 310 of the developer container 300. The mouth structure is open. The developer in the body 310 of the developer container 300 can be discharged through the mouth structure. The mouth structure is connected to the connecting member 230. In a possible implementation, the connecting member 230 is fixedly connected to the mouth structure. The connecting member 230 and the mouth structure can be connected together by injection molding or integral molding. In another possible implementation, the connecting member 230 is detachably connected to the mouth structure. The connecting member 230 can be connected to the mouth structure by threaded connection. For example, the connecting member 230 includes an internal thread, the mouth structure includes an external thread, and the internal thread of the connecting member 230 and the external thread of the mouth structure are connected together by threads. Of course, the connecting member 230 and the mouth structure can be clamped together by a clamping piece, which is not limited in this embodiment. The connection member 230 can be mounted to the oral structure, thereby allowing the injection structure 200 to be mounted to the oral structure. The connection member 230 can also be detached from the oral structure, thereby allowing the injection structure 200 to be detached from the oral structure.

[0307] like Fig. 20 As shown, when the unlocking structure 110 unlocks the locking structure 410, the matching component 210 is sleeved on the outside of the locking structure 450 of the box 400. Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, when the unlocking structure 110 drives the locking structure 410 to move to the unlocking position, the matching component 210 abuts against the snap-fit ​​structure 450 of the cartridge 400. The matching component 210 abuts against the snap-fit ​​structure 450 along the circumferential direction of the injection structure 200. The matching component 210 is tightly fitted with the snap-fit ​​structure 450 along the circumferential direction of the injection structure 200.

[0308] The mating member 210 can rotate relative to the unlocking structure 110. The mating member 210 can rotate relative to the unlocking structure 110 around the axial direction of the injection structure 200. The mating member 210 can rotate relative to the unlocking structure 110 around the third direction D3. The mating member 210 can rotate relative to the unlocking structure 110 along the circumferential direction of the injection structure 200. The rotation of the mating member 210 can drive the locking structure 450 of the box 400 to rotate. The rotation of the mating member 210 can drive the locking structure 450 to rotate. Fig.17 As shown, the box 400 further includes a moving structure 430 , and the moving structure 430 is connected to the engaging structure 450 , thereby driving the moving structure 430 to rotate.

[0309] like Fig.10As shown, the matching component 210 includes an interface unit 211, and the interface unit 211 is connected to the interior of the body 310 of the developer container 300. The interface unit 211 penetrates the matching component 210 along the third direction D3. The interface unit 211 is configured as a channel. The developer can enter the box 400 through the interface unit 211. When the unlocking member 111 releases the locking structure 410 from locking the moving structure 430, the snap-fit ​​structure 450 extends into the interface unit 211. The interface unit 211 abuts against the snap-fit ​​structure 450. A portion of the snap-fit ​​structure 450 is located in the interface unit 211. Thus, it is ensured that the developer can enter the snap-fit ​​structure 450 of the box 400, and the developer is prevented from leaking from the connection.

[0310] When the unlocking structure 110 releases the locking structure 410 from locking the moving structure 430, as shown in FIG. Figure 5 As shown, a portion of the snap-fit ​​structure 450 is located in the interface unit 211. A portion of the snap-fit ​​structure 450 can enter the injection structure 200 through the interface unit 211. The mobile structure 430 includes a channel member 452, and the extension direction of the channel member 452 is parallel to the third direction D3. The mobile structure 430 and the snap-fit ​​structure 450 can be fixed together. The channel of the snap-fit ​​structure 450 is connected to the mobile structure 430. The mobile structure 430 and the snap-fit ​​structure 450 can be integrally formed. The channel member 452 runs through the mobile structure 430 and the snap-fit ​​structure 450. The channel member 452 is located in the interface unit 211. The channel member 452 enters the injection structure 200 through the interface unit 211. In particular, the channel member 452 enters the mouth structure through the interface unit 211 and releases the locking of the sealing piston unit 242 to the interface unit 211.

[0311] The interface unit 211 includes an open opening. The opening is open to the outside of the interface unit 211. The snap-fit ​​structure 450 can enter the interface unit 211 through the open opening. Preferably, the shape of the interface unit 211 matches the shape of the snap-fit ​​structure 450. Fig.10 As shown, the matching component 210 may include a groove 212, and the engaging structure 450 may include a protrusion, and the groove 212 and the protrusion cooperate with each other. The protrusion is located in the groove 212. The groove 212 abuts against the protrusion. The protrusion abuts against the groove 212 along the circumferential direction of the injection structure 200. The protrusion is tightly fitted with the groove 212 along the circumferential direction of the injection structure 200.

[0312] The matching member 210 may include at least two grooves 212, and the engaging structure 450 may include at least two protrusions, and the at least two grooves 212 and the at least two protrusions are matched respectively. The at least two protrusions are respectively located in the at least two grooves 212. The at least two grooves 212 and the at least two protrusions are respectively abutted. In this way, the stress can be evenly dispersed to avoid stress concentration and protrusion fracture.

[0313] The engaging structure 450 of the cartridge 400 can be driven to move between the initial position and the extended position by the rotation of the mating member 210. The engaging structure 450 moves between the initial position and the extended position along the third direction D3. The engaging structure 450 at the extended position protrudes from the engaging structure 450 at the initial position. The engaging structure 450 at the extended position is closer to the body 310 of the developer container 300 than the engaging structure 450 at the initial position. The engaging structure 450 at the extended position is located in the connecting member 230 of the injection structure 200. The engaging structure 450 at the initial position is provided in the mating member 210. Figures 4 to 7 As shown, the engaging structure 450 at the initial position moves to the extended position toward the main body 310 of the developer container 300. The engaging structure 450 at the initial position moves to the extended position along the third direction D3 toward the main body 310 of the developer container 300. The connecting member 230 is closer to the main body 310 of the developer container 300 than the matching member 210. The engaging structure 450 at the extended position is provided in the connecting member 230. Thus, it is convenient for the developer in the main body 310 of the developer container 300 to enter the engaging structure 450 at the extended position.

[0314] The engaging structure 450 is connected to the moving structure 430. The engaging structure 450 can drive the moving structure 430 to move between the initial position and the extended position. The moving structure 430 at the extended position is closer to the body 310 of the developer container 300 than the moving structure 430 at the initial position. Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the interior 231 of the connecting member 230 is connected to the interior of the engaging structure 450 at the extended position. The engaging structure 450 is provided with a channel member 452. The interior 231 of the connecting member 230 is connected to the channel member 452 of the engaging structure 450 at the extended position. The developer in the body 310 of the developer container 300 enters the channel member 452 of the engaging structure 450 at the extended position through the injection structure 200, and then enters the box 400.

[0315] In order to prevent leakage of developer, the injection structure 200 further includes a sealing member, which is located in the matching member 210. The sealing member is used to seal the injection structure 200. The sealing member can separate the interior of the matching member 210 from the interior 231 of the connecting member 230. Thus, leakage of developer is prevented. The rotation of the matching member 210 can cause the engaging structure 450 to rotate. The rotation of the engaging structure 450 can drive the moving structure 430 to move along the third direction D3. The moving structure 430 can apply a force to the sealing member to release the seal of the sealing member.

[0316] When the developer container 300 is inverted, the developer in the body 310 of the developer container 300 will not leak through the sealing member. When the matching member 210 and the snap-fit ​​structure 450 rotate to drive the moving structure 430 to move along the third direction D3 toward the inside of the body 310 of the developer container 300, the snap-fit ​​structure 450 can release the seal of the sealing member, thereby being opened to allow the developer in the connecting member 230 to enter the matching member 210. The rotation of the matching member 210 can drive the snap-fit ​​structure 450 to move toward the connecting member 230, so that the snap-fit ​​structure 450 passes through the sealing member and enters the inside of the connecting member 230.

[0317] In one possible implementation, Fig.10 As shown, the sealing member includes a sealing film unit 241, and the sealing film unit 241 is located in the matching member. In particular, the sealing film unit 241 can be located in the interface unit 211. When the developer container 300 is inverted, the developer in the body 310 of the developer container 300 will not leak through the sealing film unit 241. The rotation of the matching member 210 can drive the snap-fit ​​structure 450 to move toward the direction of the connecting member 230, so that the snap-fit ​​structure 450 passes through the sealing member and enters the interior 231 of the connecting member 230. When the matching member 210 and the snap-fit ​​structure 450 rotate to drive the moving structure 430 to move toward the direction of the interior 231 of the connecting member 230, the snap-fit ​​structure 450 passes through the sealing member and enters the interior 231 of the connecting member 230. When the mating component 210 and the snap-fit ​​structure 450 rotate to drive the movable structure 430 to move along the third direction D3 toward the interior of the main body 310 of the developer container 300, the snap-fit ​​structure 450 can pass through the sealing film unit 241, thereby opening the sealing film unit 241, so that the developer in the main body 310 of the developer container 300 moves to the box 400 through the interface unit 211.

[0318] Preferably, if Fig. 9 and Fig.11As shown, the sealing member may further include a sealing piston unit 242, which is also used to seal the interface unit 211. The sealing member seals the interface unit 211 to prevent the developer from being discharged. The sealing piston unit 242 is movable between a sealing position and an open position relative to the body 310 of the developer container 300. The sealing piston unit 242 located at the sealing position closes the interface unit 211. When the matching member 210 and the engaging structure 450 rotate to drive the moving structure 430 to move along the third direction D3 toward the inside of the body 310 of the developer container 300, the engaging structure 450 can apply a force to the sealing piston unit 242 located at the sealing position, so that the sealing piston unit 242 can move to the open position, and the sealing piston unit 242 located at the open position is spaced apart from the interface unit 211, so that the developer in the body 310 of the developer container 300 moves to the channel member 452 of the moving structure 430 through the interface unit 211.

[0319] Preferably, combined Figure 7 and Fig.17 As shown, a force member 435 is also provided at the top of the engaging structure 450, and the force member 435 protrudes toward the outside of the box 400. The force member 435 can pass through the sealing film unit 241 or the force member 435 can push the sealing piston unit 242, so that the developer can move into the engaging structure 450 and then move into the moving structure 430.

[0320] like Figures 12 to 17 As shown, the present disclosure also provides a box 400, the box 400 includes a moving structure 430 and a locking structure 410, and the locking structure 410 is used to lock the moving structure 430. The moving structure 430 is open to the outside of the box 400. The moving structure 430 can move. The moving structure 430 can also receive developer. The locking structure 410 can limit the movement of the moving structure 430. The locking structure 410 is used to unlock under external action so that the locking structure 410 is separated from the moving structure 430. The locking structure 410 is used to unlock under external action so that the locking structure 410 is separated from the moving structure 430.

[0321] According to the box 400 of the present disclosure, the box 400 includes a moving structure 430 and a locking structure 410. The moving structure 430 is open to the outside of the box 400 and can move. The locking structure 410 is used to lock the moving structure 430, and the locking structure 410 is used to unlock under external action so that the locking structure 410 is separated from the moving structure 430. In this way, the locking structure 410 of the box 400 locks the moving structure 430, thereby effectively reducing the state that the channel of the box is always connected, reducing the possible leakage of ink during the installation of the developer container 300 to the box 400, and the contamination of the channel of the box 400 caused by the leakage of ink.

[0322] Specifically, the box 400 also includes a receiving structure 460, and the receiving structure 460 is used to insert the developer container 300. The box 400 also includes a shell structure 440, and the shell structure 440 contains a developer. Optionally, the developer can be ink, the developer container 300 can be an ink bottle, and the box 400 can be an ink tank. The developer in the shell structure 440 can be supplied to the image forming device, so that the image forming device sprays it to the sheet material and forms an image on the sheet material. The receiving structure 460 is connected to the shell structure 440. The receiving structure 460 can protrude from the shell structure 440 of the box 400. The developer in the body 310 of the developer container 300 can enter the channel member 452 to replenish the developer to the box 400.

[0323] The receiving structure 460 protrudes from the housing structure 440. The housing structure 440 further includes a top wall 441, and the top wall 441 is connected to the receiving structure 460. The moving structure 430 can move up and down relative to the housing structure 440. In this embodiment, "up" refers to the direction of the moving structure 430 toward the top wall 441, and "down" refers to the direction of the moving structure 430 away from the top wall 441. The receiving structure 460 is connected to the top wall 441.

[0324] The locking structure 410 is movably connected to the receiving structure 460. The receiving structure 460 includes a locking groove member, and the locking groove member penetrates the receiving structure 460 along a first direction D1. The first direction D1 is parallel to the thickness direction of the receiving structure 460. The axial direction of the receiving structure 460 is parallel to the third direction D3. The locking structure 410 is arranged in the locking groove member. The locking structure 410 is inserted into the locking groove member. The locking structure 410 can move relative to the locking groove member. The locking structure 410 can move in the locking groove member along the first direction D1. The locking structure 410 is tightly fitted with the locking groove member. As a result, the locking groove member can guide the locking structure 410.

[0325] The locking structure 410 moves under the action of the adapter 100. The adapter 100 includes an unlocking structure 110, which can unlock the locking structure 410 of the cartridge 400, so that the developer in the body 310 of the developer container 300 is replenished into the cartridge 400. The cartridge 400 also includes a moving structure 430, which can be locked by the locking structure 410. The adapter 100 can release the seal of the cartridge 400 to separate the locking structure 410 of the cartridge 400 from the moving structure 430 of the cartridge 400, so that the developer can be injected into the cartridge 400.

[0326] The locking structure 410 can lock the moving structure 430. The locking structure 410 can limit the movement of the moving structure 430. The locking structure 410 moves between a locking position and an unlocking position relative to the moving structure 430. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the locking structure 410 in the locking position is connected to the moving structure 430. The locking structure 410 in the locking position restricts the movement of the moving structure 430. When the locking structure 410 is in the locking position, the moving structure 430 does not move. The unlocking structure 110 can move the locking structure 410 from the locking position to the unlocking position. Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the locking structure 410 at the unlocked position is separated from the moving structure 430. The locking structure 410 at the unlocked position no longer restricts the movement of the moving structure 430. In this way, the unlocking structure 110 can unlock the locking structure 410 of the box 400, so that the locking structure 410 of the box 400 is separated from the moving structure 430 of the box 400, so that the developer in the body 310 of the developer container 300 is replenished into the box 400.

[0327] The locking structure 410 moves under the action of the unlocking structure 110. The locking structure 410 can move between a locking position and an unlocking position. Figures 14 to 18 As shown, the locking structure 410 at the locking position limits the movement of the moving structure 430. The locking structure 410 at the locking position is connected to the moving structure 430. The locking structure 410 at the locking position is used to lock the moving structure 430, and the moving structure 430 cannot move. The locking structure 410 at the locking position limits the rotation of the moving structure 430. The locking structure 410 at the locking position limits the rotation of the moving structure 430 around the third direction D3.

[0328] The adapter 100 may further include an injection structure 200 for connecting the unlocking structure 110 and the body 310 of the developer container 300 and allowing the developer in the body 310 of the developer container 300 to pass through. The injection structure 200 provides an inlet for the developer in the body 310 of the developer container 300 to enter the box 400. The developer is discharged through the injection structure 200 to replenish the developer into the box 400. The injection structure 200 may be configured as a structure such as a bottle mouth, a bottle cap, etc., so as to facilitate the developer in the developer container to pass through.

[0329] The unlocking structure 110 can be mounted to the injection structure 200. The unlocking structure 110 can be mounted on the surface of the injection structure 200 facing the box 400. The extension direction of the unlocking structure 110 is perpendicular to the surface of the injection structure 200. The unlocking structure 110 is vertically connected to the surface of the injection structure 200. In a possible implementation, the unlocking structure 110 and the injection structure 200 can be constructed as a split structure, and the unlocking structure 110 and the injection structure 200 are detachably connected. The unlocking structure 110 is detachably connected to the surface of the injection structure 200. The unlocking structure 110 can be connected to the injection structure 200 through a connector. Or, the unlocking structure 110 can be connected to the injection structure 200 by a snap-fitting manner. In another possible implementation, the unlocking structure 110 and the injection structure 200 can be constructed as an integral structure, and the unlocking structure 110 and the injection structure 200 can be integrally formed by injection molding, or the unlocking structure 110 is fixedly mounted on the injection structure 200. For example, the unlocking structure 110 is attached to the surface of the injection structure 200.

[0330] The locking structure 410 at the locking position limits the movement of the moving structure 430 from rotating around the axial direction of the injection structure 200. The locking structure 410 at the locking position limits the movement of the moving structure 430. The locking structure 410 at the locking position limits the movement of the moving structure 430 along the third direction D3. The locking structure 410 at the locking position limits the movement of the moving structure 430 along the axial direction of the injection structure 200.

[0331] The locking structure 410 at the locking position can move along the first direction D1 to the unlocking position. Fig.17 and Fig.18 As shown, the locking structure 410 at the unlocked position is spaced apart from the moving structure 430. The locking structure 410 at the unlocked position is separated from the moving structure 430 to allow the moving structure 430 to move. The locking structure 410 at the unlocked position can also move in the opposite direction along the first direction D1 to the locking position.

[0332] The locking structure 410 at the locking position can move under the action of the unlocking structure 110. The locking structure 410 at the locking position can move to the unlocking position under the action of the unlocking structure 110. The locking structure 410 at the locking position can move toward the inside of the receiving structure 460 to the unlocking position under the action of the unlocking structure 110.

[0333] The box 400 includes at least two locking structures 410, and the at least two locking structures 410 are arranged at intervals along the second direction D2. The receiving structure 460 includes at least two locking groove components, and at least two locking structures 410 are respectively arranged in the at least two locking groove components.

[0334] The unlocking structure 110 includes at least two unlocking members 111, and the at least two unlocking members 111 are arranged at intervals. The at least two unlocking members 111 are arranged at intervals along the second direction D2. The at least two unlocking members 111 are located at the same side along the first direction D1.

[0335] In a possible implementation, at least two unlocking members 111 respectively correspond to at least two locking structures 410. The at least two unlocking members 111 respectively apply forces to the at least two locking structures 410 to respectively drive the at least two locking structures 410 to move, so that the at least two locking structures 410 move respectively.

[0336] In another possible implementation, one of the at least two unlocking members 111 applies a force to the at least two locking structures 410. The two locking structures 410 are spaced apart along the second direction D2. The width of one unlocking member 111 along the second direction D2 can be sufficient to simultaneously unlock the at least two locking structures 410. One unlocking member 111 can simultaneously abut against the at least two locking structures 410 along the second direction D2. One locking member 412 can apply a force to the at least two locking structures 410, and the at least two locking structures 410 can both be unlocked, and the at least two locking structures 410 can both move along the first direction D1.

[0337] For example, the unlocking structure 110 includes an unlocking member 111, and the width of the unlocking member 111 along the second direction D2 can be sufficient to simultaneously unlock at least two locking structures 410. The unlocking member 111 can simultaneously abut against at least two locking structures 410 along the second direction D2. A locking member 412 can apply a force to at least two locking structures 410, so that at least two locking structures 410 can be unlocked, and at least two locking structures 410 can move along the first direction D1.

[0338] The at least two unlocking members 111 respectively correspond to the at least two locking structures 410. The at least two unlocking members 111 respectively apply forces to the at least two locking structures 410 to respectively drive the at least two locking structures 410 to move, so that the at least two locking structures 410 respectively move.

[0339] like Fig.11 and Fig.12As shown, the box 400 includes a first locking structure 414, a second locking structure 415, a third locking structure 416 and a fourth locking structure 417, and the first locking structure 414, the second locking structure 415, the third locking structure 416 and the fourth locking structure 417 are arranged at intervals. The first locking structure 414 and the second locking structure 415 are arranged at intervals along the second direction D2. The third locking structure 416 and the fourth locking structure 417 are arranged at intervals along the second direction D2. The first locking structure 414 and the fourth locking structure 417 are arranged oppositely along the first direction D1. The first locking structure 414 and the fourth locking structure 417 are arranged oppositely along the radial direction of the injection structure 200. The second locking structure 415 and the third locking structure 416 are arranged oppositely along the first direction D1. The second locking structure 415 and the third locking structure 416 are arranged oppositely along the radial direction of the injection structure 200.

[0340] The first locking structure 414 is unlocked by the first unlocking member 141. The first unlocking member 141 applies a force to the first unlocking structure 131. The first locking structure 414 can move between a first locking position and a first unlocking position. The first unlocking member 141 can apply a force to the first locking structure 414 along a first direction D1. The first unlocking member 141 can move the first locking structure 414 located in the first locking position to the first unlocking position. The first locking structure 414 located in the first locking position moves to the first unlocking position in the direction toward the inside of the receiving structure 460 under the action of the first unlocking member 141.

[0341] The second locking structure 415 is unlocked by the second unlocking member 142. The second unlocking member 142 applies a force to the second unlocking structure 132. The second locking structure 415 can move between the second locking position and the second unlocking position. The second unlocking member 142 can apply a force to the second locking structure 415 along the first direction D1. The second unlocking member 142 can move the second locking structure 415 located in the second locking position to the second unlocking position. The second locking structure 415 located in the second locking position moves to the second unlocking position toward the inside of the receiving structure 460 under the action of the second unlocking member 142.

[0342] The third locking structure 416 is unlocked by the third unlocking member 143. The third unlocking member 143 applies a force to the third locking structure 416. The third locking structure 416 can move between a third locked position and a third unlocked position. The third unlocking member 143 can apply a force to the third locking structure 416 along the first direction D1. The third unlocking member 143 can move the third locking structure 416 located in the third locked position to the third unlocked position. The third locking structure 416 located in the third locked position moves to the third unlocked position in the direction toward the inside of the receiving structure 460 under the action of the third unlocking member 143.

[0343] The fourth locking structure 417 is locked by the fourth unlocking member 144. The fourth unlocking member 144 applies a force to the fourth locking structure 417.

The fourth locking structure 417 located at the fourth locked position moves to the fourth unlocked position in the direction toward the inside of the receiving structure 460 under the action of the fourth unlocking member 144.

[0344] Further, the locking structure 410 includes an abutting member 411, and the abutting member 411 is used to abut against the unlocking structure 110. The abutting member 411 protrudes from the receiving structure 460 along the first direction D1. The box 400 also includes a receiving structure 461, in which the locking structure 410 is arranged. The receiving structure 461 is provided with a receiving structure. The moving structure 430 is located in the receiving structure 460. The unlocking member 111 can enter the receiving structure 461. The unlocking member 111 is located between the receiving structure 461 and the receiving structure 460. The locking structure 410 is arranged in the receiving structure 461. The receiving structure 461 can protect the locking structure 410, prevent accidental contact, and prevent the locking structure 410 from moving when it is not acted upon by the unlocking member 111. The unlocking member 111 can apply a force to the locking structure 410 in the receiving structure 461.

[0345] The abutting member 411 at the locking position is located outside the receiving structure 460. The abutting member 411 at the locking position abuts against the unlocking structure 110. The abutting member 411 includes an abutting surface, which is configured as an arc. The abutting surface protrudes outward and upward. The unlocking structure 110 includes an unlocking member 111, which abuts against the abutting member 411 at the locking position. The unlocking member 111 contacts the abutting surface at the locking position, and the unlocking member 111 applies a force to the abutting member 411 at the locking position. The abutting member 411 at the locking position can move along the first direction D1 under the action of the unlocking member 111. The abutting member 411 at the locking position can move along the first direction D1 toward the inside of the receiving structure 460 under the action of the unlocking member 111. The abutting member 411 at the locking position can move to the unlocking position toward the inside of the receiving structure 460. The abutting member 411 at the locking position can move to the unlocking position toward the inside of the receiving structure 460 under the action of the unlocking member 111. The abutting member 411 at the unlocking position is located to the side of the unlocking structure 110 along the first direction D1. Thus, the unlocking member 111 unlocks the locking structure 410.

[0346] Preferably, the locking structure 410 further comprises a locking member 412, and the locking member 412 is used to be connected to the mobile structure 430. The locking member 412 at the locking position is located inside the receiving structure 460. The locking member 412 at the locking position is connected to the mobile structure 430. The locking member 412 at the locking position can move along the first direction D1 under the action of the unlocking member 111. The locking member 412 at the locking position can move along the first direction D1 toward the inside of the receiving structure 460 under the action of the unlocking member 111. The locking member 412 at the locking position can move to the unlocking position toward the inside of the receiving structure 460. The locking member 412 at the locking position can move to the unlocking position toward the inside of the receiving structure 460 under the action of the unlocking member 111. The locking member 412 at the unlocking position is separated from the mobile structure 430. Thus, the locking member 412 realizes the unlocking of the mobile structure 430.

[0347] Furthermore, if Fig.11 , Fig.15 and Fig.16 As shown, the locking member 412 includes a hook unit 413, and the hook unit 413 protrudes toward the receiving structure 460. Fig.10 As shown, the moving structure 430 includes a groove member 431, and the groove member 431 is recessed in a direction away from the receiving structure 460. Preferably, the moving structure 430 includes a protruding member 439, and the protruding member 439 protrudes from the moving structure along the radial direction of the moving structure. The protruding member 439 includes a space open in a direction away from the top wall 441. The hook unit 413 enters the moving structure 430 through the space. The hook unit 413 located in the locking position is engaged with the groove member 431. As a result, the hook unit 413 located in the locking position limits the movement of the moving structure 430. The hook unit 413 located in the locking position limits the rotation of the moving structure 430. The hook unit 413 located in the locking position limits the rotation of the moving structure 430 around the third direction D3. The hook unit 413 located in the locking position limits the rotation of the moving structure 430 around the axial direction of the injection structure 200. The hook unit 413 located in the locking position limits the movement of the moving structure 430. The hook unit 413 located at the locking position restricts the moving structure 430 from moving along the third direction D3. The hook unit 413 located at the locking position restricts the moving structure 430 from moving along the axial direction of the injection structure 200.

[0348] like Fig.18 and Fig.19As shown, the hook unit 413 at the locking position moves to the unlocking position along the first direction D1. The hook unit 413 at the unlocking position is spaced apart from the groove member 431. The hook unit 413 at the unlocking position is not connected to the groove member 431. The hook unit 413 at the unlocking position is separated from the groove member 431. As a result, the moving structure 430 can move. The moving structure 430 can rotate around the third direction D3. The moving structure 430 can rotate around the axial direction of the injection structure 200. The moving structure 430 can also move along the first direction D1. The moving structure 430 can also move along the axial direction of the injection structure 200.

[0349] In a possible implementation, the box 400 also includes a reset structure, which is connected to the locking member 412. The reset structure is configured as an elastic member. The reset structure can be configured as a spring. The reset structure can produce elastic deformation along the first direction D1. The reset structure applies a force to the locking member 412 so that the locking structure 410 located in the unlocked position moves to the locked position. The locking structure 410 located in the locked position applies a compressive force to the reset structure so that the reset structure produces elastic deformation. When the unlocking structure 110 no longer applies a force to the locking structure 410 along the first direction D1, the reset structure applies an elastic force to the locking structure 410 located in the locked position, so that the locking structure 410 located in the unlocked position is reset to the locked position.

[0350] The box 400 includes at least two locking structures 410, and two of the at least two locking structures 410 are respectively connected to the two ends of the reset structure along the first direction D1. The two ends of the reset structure along the first direction D1 can be respectively connected to the two locking structures 410. Fig.12 As shown, the box 400 includes a first reset structure 421, and one end of the first reset structure 421 along the first direction D1 can be connected to the first locking structure 414. The other end of the first reset structure 421 along the first direction D1 can be connected to the fourth locking structure 417. The first locking structure 414 can apply pressure to the first reset structure 421, so that the first reset structure 421 is compressed and elastically deformed. The second locking structure 415 can apply pressure to the first reset structure 421, so that the first reset structure 421 is compressed and elastically deformed. When the first unlocking member 141 no longer applies a force along the first direction D1 to the first locking structure 414, the first reset structure 421 generates an elastic force on the first locking structure 414, so that the first locking structure 414 located at the first unlocking position is reset to the first locking position. When the fourth unlocking member 144 no longer applies a force along the first direction D1 to the fourth locking structure 417 , the first restoring structure 421 generates an elastic force on the fourth locking structure 417 , so that the fourth locking structure 417 at the fourth unlocking position is restored to the fourth locking position.

[0351] The box 400 includes a second reset structure 422, one end of which along the first direction D1 can be connected to the second locking structure 415. The other end of the second reset structure 422 along the first direction D1 can be connected to the third locking structure 416. The second locking structure 415 can apply pressure to the second reset structure 422 so that the second reset structure 422 is compressed and elastically deformed. The second locking structure 415 can apply pressure to the second reset structure 422 so that the second reset structure 422 is compressed and elastically deformed. When the second unlocking member 142 no longer applies a force along the first direction D1 to the second locking structure 415, the second reset structure 422 generates an elastic force on the second locking structure 415 so that the second locking structure 415 located at the second unlocking position is reset to the first locking position. When the third unlocking member 143 no longer applies a force along the first direction D1 to the third locking structure 416 , the second restoring structure 422 generates an elastic force on the third locking structure 416 , so that the third locking structure 416 at the third unlocking position is restored to the third locking position.

[0352] like Figure 5 and Fig.10 As shown, the box 400 also includes a housing structure 440 and a snap-fit ​​structure 450, the snap-fit ​​structure 450 is used to be connected to the moving structure 430, and the snap-fit ​​structure 450 protrudes from the housing structure 440. The box 400 includes a housing structure 440, and the housing structure 440 contains a developer. The developer in the housing structure 440 can be supplied to the image forming device, so that the image forming device sprays it to the sheet material and forms an image on the sheet material. The channel member 452 of the snap-fit ​​structure 450 can protrude from the housing structure 440 of the box 400. The developer in the body 310 of the developer container 300 can enter the channel member 452 to replenish the developer to the box 400.

[0353] The engaging structure 450 is used to be connected with the mobile structure 430. The engaging structure 450 moves, thereby driving the mobile structure 430 to move. The engaging structure 450 can rotate around the third direction D3, thereby driving the mobile structure 430 to rotate. The engaging structure 450 can rotate around the axial direction of the injection structure 200, thereby driving the mobile structure 430 to rotate. The engaging structure 450 can move along the third direction D3, thereby driving the mobile structure 430 to move. The engaging structure 450 can move along the axial direction of the injection structure 200, thereby driving the mobile structure 430 to move. When the engaging structure 450 rotates, the unlocking structure 110 keeps unlocking the locking structure 410, and the unlocking structure 110 and the locking structure 410 do not rotate. Thereby, the rotation of the engaging structure 450 is avoided from being affected.

[0354] In order to ensure that the developer can be injected into the cartridge 400, Fig. 9As shown, the injection structure 200 further includes a matching member 210, which protrudes from the mounting structure 120 along the third direction D3. Optionally, the unlocking structure 110 is sleeved on the outer portion of the matching member 210. The matching member 210 is located between at least two unlocking members 111 along the first direction D1.

[0355] When the locking structure 410 moves to the unlocking position under external action, the engaging structure 450 abuts against the matching component 210 of the injection structure 200. When the unlocking structure 110 drives the locking structure 410 to move to the unlocking position, the locking structure 450 abuts against the matching component 210 of the injection structure 200. Fig.13 As shown, the matching component 210 is sleeved on the outside of the snap-fit ​​structure 450 of the box 400. The matching component 210 abuts against the snap-fit ​​structure 450 along the circumferential direction of the injection structure 200. The matching component 210 is closely fitted with the snap-fit ​​structure 450 along the circumferential direction of the injection structure 200. The matching component 210 includes an interface unit 211, which is connected to the inside of the body 310 of the developer container 300. The interface unit 211 penetrates the matching component 210 along the third direction D3. The interface unit 211 is configured as a channel. The developer can enter the box 400 through the interface unit 211. The snap-fit ​​structure 450 protrudes from the shell structure 440. When the unlocking component 111 releases the locking structure 410 from locking the moving structure 430, the snap-fit ​​structure 450 extends into the interface unit 211. The interface unit 211 abuts against the snap-fit ​​structure 450. A part of the snap-fit ​​structure 450 is located in the interface unit 211. Thus, it is ensured that all the developer can enter the snap-fit ​​structure 450 of the box 400, and the developer is prevented from leaking from the connection.

[0356] When the unlocking structure 110 releases the locking structure 410 from locking the moving structure 430, a portion of the engaging structure 450 is located in the interface unit 211. A portion of the engaging structure 450 can enter the injection structure 200 through the interface unit 211. The engaging structure 450 includes a channel member 452, and the channel member 452 passes through the moving structure 430 and the engaging structure 450. The channel member 452 is located in the interface unit 211. The channel member 452 enters the injection structure 200 through the interface unit 211.

[0357] The interface unit 211 includes an open opening. The opening is open toward the outside of the interface unit 211. The snap-fit ​​structure 450 can enter the interface unit 211 through the open opening. Preferably, the shape of the interface unit 211 matches the shape of the snap-fit ​​structure 450. The mating component 210 may include a groove 212, and the snap-fit ​​structure 450 may include a protrusion, and the groove 212 and the protrusion cooperate with each other. The protrusion is located in the groove 212. The groove 212 abuts against the protrusion. The protrusion abuts against the groove 212 along the circumferential direction of the injection structure 200. The protrusion fits tightly with the groove 212 along the circumferential direction of the injection structure 200.

[0358] The matching member 210 may include at least two grooves 212, and the engaging structure 450 may include at least two protrusions, and the at least two grooves 212 and the at least two protrusions are matched respectively. The at least two protrusions are respectively located in the at least two grooves 212. The at least two grooves 212 and the at least two protrusions are respectively abutted. In this way, the stress can be evenly dispersed to avoid stress concentration and protrusion fracture.

[0359] The rotation of the matching member 210 can drive the engaging structure 450 to move between the initial position and the extended position. The engaging structure 450 moves between the initial position and the extended position along the third direction D3. The engaging structure 450 located at the initial position is located in the matching member 210 of the injection structure 200. The engaging structure 450 located at the initial position moves to the extended position in a direction away from the housing structure 440. The engaging structure 450 located at the extended position protrudes from the engaging structure 450 located at the initial position. The engaging structure 450 located at the extended position is closer to the body 310 of the developer container 300 than the engaging structure 450 located at the initial position. The engaging structure 450 located at the initial position is provided in the matching member 210. The engaging structure 450 located at the initial position moves to the extended position in the direction of the body 310 of the developer container 300. The engaging structure 450 located at the initial position moves to the extended position in the direction of the body 310 of the developer container 300 along the third direction D3 in the direction of the body 310 of the developer container 300. Thus, it is convenient for the developer in the body 310 of the developer container 300 to enter the engaging structure 450 located at the extended position.

[0360] The engaging structure 450 is connected to the moving structure 430. The engaging structure 450 can drive the moving structure 430 to move between the initial position and the extended position. The moving structure 430 at the extended position is closer to the body 310 of the developer container 300 than the moving structure 430 at the initial position. Fig.19 and Fig. 20 As shown, the interior 231 of the connecting member 230 is connected to the interior of the engaging structure 450 at the extended position. The engaging structure 450 is provided with a channel member 452. The interior 231 of the connecting member 230 is connected to the channel member 452 of the engaging structure 450 at the extended position. The developer in the body 310 of the developer container 300 enters the channel member 452 of the engaging structure 450 at the extended position through the injection structure 200, and then enters the box 400 through the moving structure 430.

[0361] In order to enable the rotation of the matching component 210 to drive the moving structure 430 to move along the third direction D3, as shown in FIG. Figure 8 and Fig. 9As shown, the box 400 also includes an inclined structure 462, which is located in the receiving structure 460. The inclined structure 462 is connected to the shell structure 440. The inclined structure 462 is connected to the top. The inclined structure 462 is located outside the shell structure 440. The inclined structure 462 is provided with a through hole, and the through hole is for the mobile structure 430 to pass through. The mobile structure 430 is arranged in the inclined structure 462. The inclined structure 462 includes an inclined surface member 463, and the inclined surface member 463 extends obliquely around the third direction D3. The inclined surface member 463 is configured as a roughly cambered surface. The inclined surface member 463 extends obliquely around the axial direction of the injection structure 200. The inclined surface member 463 extends obliquely along the circumferential direction of the injection structure 200. The inclined surface member 463 is arranged around the mobile structure 430.

[0362] Combination Fig.10 As shown, the moving structure 430 further includes a protruding member 432 and a column member 433, and the protruding member 432 protrudes from the column member 433. The protruding member 432 protrudes from the column member 433 along the radial direction of the column member 433.

The protruding member 432 is located inside the receiving structure 460. The protruding member 432 is located on the inclined surface member 463.

[0363] The inclined surface member 463 includes a first end unit 464 and a second end unit 465, which are respectively located at two ends of the inclined surface member 463 along the extension direction of the inclined surface member 463. The first end unit 464 is closer to the housing structure 440 than the second end unit 465. The first end unit 464 is closer to the housing structure 440 along the third direction D3 than the second end unit 465. The first end unit 464 is closer to the top wall 441 along the third direction D3 than the second end unit 465. The second end unit 465 is located above the first end unit 464 along the third direction D3.

[0364] The engaging member 210 rotates around the third direction D3 to drive the moving structure 430 to rotate around the third direction D3, so that the protruding member 432 can move on the inclined surface member 463. The operator rotates the body 310 of the developer container 300, so that the engaging member 210 rotates. The engaging member 210 drives the engaging structure 450 to rotate around the third direction D3 to drive the moving structure 430 to rotate around the third direction D3. The protruding member 432 can move on the inclined surface member 463 around the third direction D3. The moving structure 430 can move between the initial position and the extended position along the third direction D3. The protruding member 432 located at the initial position is located at the first end unit 464. The protruding member 432 located at the extended position is located at the second end unit 465. The protruding member 432 can move from the first end unit 464 to the second end unit 465. The protruding member 432 can move from the first end unit 464 to the second end unit 465 around the third direction D3. The protruding member 432 at the first end unit 464 moves to the second end unit 465 to move the moving structure 430 toward the injection structure 200. The tilting structure 462 enables the protruding member 432 to move along the third direction D3, thereby enabling the moving structure 430 to move along the third direction D3.

[0365] Optionally, the cartridge 400 further includes a fixed structure 470, which is located in the housing structure 440. The fixed structure 470 connects the moving structure 430 and the housing structure 440.

The second port member 474 is communicated with the accommodating chamber member 473.

[0368] The moving structure 430 is capable of moving between an initial position and an extended position. The first port member of the moving structure 430 located at the initial position is separated from the second port member 474. The first port member of the moving structure 430 located at the initial position is not connected to the second port member 474. The developer in the channel member 452 of the moving structure 430 located at the initial position will not move to the second port member 474. The engaging structure 450 located at the initial position is located in the matching member 210 of the injection structure 200. The first port member of the moving structure 430 located at the extended position is connected to the second port member 474. The engaging structure 450 located at the extended position is located in the connecting member 230 of the injection structure 200. The developer in the channel member 452 of the moving structure 430 located at the extended position moves to the second port member 474, and is then discharged through the second port member 474. The developer in the passage member 452 of the moving structure 430 located at the extended position enters the accommodating chamber member 473 through the first port member, and the developer in the accommodating chamber member 473 is discharged through the second port member 474 .

[0369] The box 400 also includes a sealing ring structure 438, which is sleeved to the outside of the fixed structure 470. The sealing ring structure 438 is also connected to the moving structure 430. The moving structure 430 can drive the sealing ring structure 438 to move. The moving structure 430 can drive the sealing ring structure 438 to move along the third direction D3. The sealing ring structure 438 located at the initial position can seal the second mouth member 474. The interior of the accommodating chamber member 473 and the housing structure 440 is separated by the sealing ring structure 438 located at the initial position. The sealing ring structure 438 located at the extended position can expose the second mouth member 474. The sealing ring structure 438 located at the extended position is spaced apart from the second mouth member 474 along the third direction D3. The developer in the accommodating chamber member 473 can be discharged through the second mouth member 474.

[0370] Preferably, the box 400 also includes an elastic structure 434, which is sleeved to the mobile structure 430. The elastic structure 434 can produce elastic deformation along the third direction D3. One end of the elastic structure 434 is connected to the housing structure 440, and the other end is connected to the mobile structure 430. One end of the elastic structure 434 along the third direction D3 is connected to the housing structure 440. The other end of the elastic structure 434 along the third direction D3 is connected to the mobile structure 430. The box also includes a blocking structure 437, which is connected to the mobile structure 430. The blocking structure 437 can be configured as a baffle. The blocking structure 437 is offset against the elastic structure. The other end of the elastic structure 434 is offset against the blocking structure 437. The other end of the elastic structure 434 is connected to the mobile structure 430 through the blocking structure 437. The blocking structure 437 moves with the mobile structure 430 so that the elastic structure 434 produces elastic deformation.

[0371] The elastic structure 434 can be configured as a spring. The elastic structure 434 applies a force to the mobile structure 430 so that the mobile structure 430 located at the initial position moves to the extended position. The elastic structure 434 applies an elastic force to the mobile structure 430 located at the initial position so that the mobile structure 430 located at the initial position is reset to the extended position. During the rotation of the protruding member 432 of the mobile structure 430 on the inclined surface member 463, the mobile structure 430 can move upward along the inclined surface member 463 under the action of the elastic structure 434. When the protruding member 432 moves to the second end unit 465 of the inclined surface member 463, that is, when the protruding member 432 rotates to the highest position of the inclined structure 462, the engaging structure 450 can pass through the sealing membrane unit 241.

[0372] The developer in the developer container 300 is provided with a double locking structure in the process of entering the box 400. The unlocking structure 110 of the developer container 300 is used as the first unlocking device to open the locking structure 410 of the box 400 for locking the moving structure 430. After the moving structure 430 is unlocked (or unlocked at the same time), the matching component 210 of the injection structure 200 and the snap-fit ​​structure 450 cooperate, and the operator rotates the body 310 of the developer container 300, and the moving structure 430 drives the moving structure 430 to rotate toward the body 310 of the developer container 300 under the action of the inclined surface component 463. The snap-fit ​​structure 450 pushes the sealing component to open. The sealing ring structure 438 moves toward the body 310 of the developer container 300, so that the channel component 452, the first port component and the second port component 474 are connected, and the channel component 452 of the entire system is opened. The developer can enter the box 400 through the second port component 474. In this way, during the replenishment process, the matching member 210 and the snap-fit ​​structure 450 of the present disclosure cooperate with each other to open the channel member 452, effectively preventing the use of pirated developer container 300 and reducing leakage.

[0373] After the developer is replenished, the operator can reversely rotate the body 310 of the developer container 300 to the original position. The moving structure 430 rotates in the opposite direction and moves downward on the inclined surface member 463 of the inclined structure 462. The first port member is closed. The sealing piston unit 242 moves to the closed position. The developer is blocked. Then the positioning member 113 of the unlocking structure 110 of the adapter 100 is pressed so that the positioning member 113 moves toward the receiving structure 460. The adapter 100 can move in the direction away from the box 400 along the third direction D3. The injection structure 200 moves in the direction away from the box 400 to separate from the box 400. The unlocking structure 110 moves in the direction away from the box 400 to separate from the box 400. The locking structure 410 moves to the locking position. The moving structure 430 is fixed. When the developer container 300 is removed, leakage of the developer can be avoided.

[0374] The present disclosure also provides an image forming apparatus, which includes the above-mentioned cartridge 400 .

[0375] According to the image forming apparatus of the present disclosure, the image forming apparatus includes the above-mentioned box 400, and the box 400 includes a moving structure 430 and a locking structure 410, which is used to be opened toward the outside of the box 400, and the moving structure 430 can move, and is used to lock the moving structure 430. In this way, the locking structure 410 of the box 400 locks the moving structure 430, thereby effectively reducing the state that the channel of the box is always connected, reducing the possible leakage of ink during the installation of the developer container 300 to the box 400, and the contamination of the channel of the box 400 caused by the leakage of ink.

[0376] The cartridge 400 can provide developer to the image forming device. The cartridge 400 provides developer to the image forming device through the connection hole. In particular, the cartridge 400 can provide qualified developer to the image forming device.

[0377] The image forming device includes a plurality of boxes 400, and the plurality of boxes 400 are arranged in a row. Optionally, the plurality of boxes 400 are arranged side by side. In this way, it is convenient to install to the body 310 of the developer container 300 of the image forming device, saving space. The developers in the plurality of boxes 400 are all different, so as to provide developers of different colors to the image forming device.

[0378] The image forming device replenishes the developer into the box 400 through the developer container 300 in the initial state or after a period of printing. The external developer container 300 of the present disclosure replenishes the developer to the box 400, and after unlocking the locking structure 410 and the moving structure 430, the channel member 452 is opened, the developer can enter the box 400, and it can be ensured that leakage is avoided during the replenishment process. For example, the external ink bottle refills the ink tank with ink, and after unlocking the locking structure 410 and the moving structure 430, the channel member 452 is opened, the ink can enter the ink tank body, and it can be ensured that ink leakage is avoided during the developer container 300 being installed in the box 400 during the replenishment process.

[0379] The box 400 includes a moving structure 430 and a locking structure 410, and the locking structure 410 is used to lock the moving structure 430. The moving structure 430 is open to the outside of the box 400. The moving structure 430 can move. The moving structure 430 can also receive developer. The locking structure 410 can limit the movement of the moving structure 430. The locking structure 410 is used to be unlocked under external action so that the locking structure 410 is separated from the moving structure 430. The locking structure 410 is used to be unlocked under external action so that the locking structure 410 is separated from the moving structure 430.
