[0184] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the channel member 411 further includes a second channel unit 4112 , and the second channel unit 4112 is used for ventilation.

[0185] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the second channel unit 4112 may be always in an open state.

[0186] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the second channel unit 4112 is closed when the sealing and locking structure 42 seals the receiving structure 41, and is opened when the sealing and locking structure 42 releases the seal on the receiving structure 41. The second channel unit 4112 can also be sealed by the sealing and locking structure 42 to close the second channel unit 4112. The sealing and locking structure 42 can also release the seal on the second channel unit 4112 to open the second channel unit 4112. When both the first channel unit 4111 and the second channel unit 4112 are in the open state, the developer 2 can enter the box 40.

[0187] The sealing and locking structure further includes a second driving member 423 and a second moving member 424, wherein the second driving member 423 is used to drive the second moving member 424 to move, and the second moving member 424 is used to seal the second channel unit 4112. The second driving member 423 can move, thereby driving the second moving member 424 to move, so as to release or restore the sealing of the second moving member 424 on the second channel unit 4112, and accordingly open and close the second channel unit 4112. The second channel unit 4112 in the open state can communicate with the interior of the developer container 1 and also communicate with the interior of the box 40. The second moving member 424 in the second closed position seals the second channel unit 4112. The second channel unit 4112 in the closed state is separated from the interior of the box 40.

[0188] The movement of the second driving member 423 may be rotation, movement or a combination of the two. Preferably, the second driving member 423 includes a third gear unit 4231 (the third gear unit 4231 is Fig.28), the third gear unit 4231 can rotate to drive the second moving member 424 to move.

[0189] In order to release the seal of the sealing locking structure 42 on the receiving structure 41, as shown in FIG. Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the present disclosure provides an adapter 10, so that the developer 2 in the body 20 of the developer container 1 can enter the box 40. The adapter 10 provided in the present application can be a part of the developer container 1, and can also be independent of the developer container 1.

[0190] Further, the adapter 10 includes an unlocking structure 11, which can release the seal of the sealing and locking structure 42 on the receiving structure 41. In this way, the developer 2 can be injected into the box 40. The unlocking structure 11 can match the sealing and locking structure 42 to unlock the sealing and locking structure 42 of the box 40, so that the developer container 1 is installed in the box 40 and then the box 40 is replenished with the developer 2, thereby avoiding ink leakage during the installation of the developer container 1 in the box 40 and ink leakage causing contamination of the channel of the receiving structure 41.

[0191] The unlocking structure 11 of the present disclosure is used to extend into the receiving structure 41 along the first direction Z to release the seal of the sealing and locking structure 42 on the receiving structure 41. The first direction Z is parallel to the injection direction of the developer 2, or it can also be understood that the first direction Z is the moving direction of the developer container 1 installed on the box 40, and the opposite direction of the first direction Z is the moving direction of the developer container 1 removed from the box 40. The unlocking structure 11 is used to unlock the sealing and locking structure 42 of the box 40 to release the sealing and locking structure 42 on the receiving structure 41. Optionally, the unlocking structure 11 can unlock the sealing and locking structure 42 on the receiving structure 41 in the receiving structure 41.

[0192] When the unlocking structure 11 releases the seal of the sealing locking structure 42 on the receiving structure 41, the receiving structure 41 can be opened and communicated with the interior of the box 40. The developer 2 can enter the interior of the box 40 through the receiving structure 41, thereby completing the injection of the developer 2. When the user operates to install the developer container 1 to the box 40, it is prevented that the developer container 1 leaks ink and the channel of the receiving structure 41 is contaminated due to the ink leakage.

[0193] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, the unlocking structure 11 includes an unlocking member 111, and the unlocking member 111 is used to unlock the sealing locking structure 42. The unlocking member 111 can enter the sealing locking structure 42 along the first direction Z. The unlocking member 111 applies a force to the sealing locking structure 42 to move the sealing locking structure 42, so as to release or restore the sealing of the sealing locking structure 42 on the sealing locking structure 42.

[0194] The unlocking member 111 moves along the first direction Z, which can move the sealing locking structure 42. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the unlocking member 111 can move along the first direction Z toward the inside of the box 40 to release the seal of the sealing locking structure 42 on the sealing locking structure 42. The unlocking member 111 can move in the opposite direction of the first direction Z toward the outside of the box 40 to restore the seal of the sealing locking structure 42 on the sealing locking structure 42. Of course, the moving directions of the unlocking member 111 and the sealing locking structure 42 can be adjusted, for example, the unlocking member 111 can move in the opposite direction of the first direction Z toward the outside of the box 40 to release the seal of the sealing locking structure 42 on the sealing locking structure 42, and this embodiment is not limited to this.

[0195] Specifically, the unlocking member 111 is used to move the sealing and locking structure 42 to release the sealing of the sealing and locking structure 42 on the receiving structure 41, and correspondingly open the first channel unit 4111. The unlocking member 111 moves along the first direction Z toward the inside of the box 40 to move the sealing and locking structure 42 to release the sealing of the sealing and locking structure 42 on the receiving structure 41, and correspondingly open the first channel unit 4111.

[0196] The unlocking member 111 is used to move the sealing locking structure 42 to restore the sealing of the sealing locking structure 42 to the receiving structure 41, and correspondingly close the first channel unit 4111. The unlocking member 111 moves in the direction opposite to the first direction Z toward the outside of the box 40 to move the sealing locking structure 42 to restore the sealing of the sealing locking structure 42 to the receiving structure 41, and correspondingly close the first channel unit 4111.

[0197] When the unlocking member 111 releases the seal of the sealing locking structure 42, the developer 2 can enter the interior of the box 40 through the first channel unit 4111 in the open state. Thus, the developer 2 container is prevented from leaking ink during installation in the box 40 and the channel contamination of the receiving structure 41 caused by the ink leakage.

[0198] The second channel unit 4112 is used for ventilation. Gas can enter the developer container 1 through the second channel unit 4112 in the open state, so as to maintain the balance of air pressure and ensure that the developer 2 can move into the box 40. Optionally, the second channel unit 4112 is always in the open state. Optionally, the unlocking member 111 is used to move the sealing locking structure 42 to release the sealing of the sealing locking structure 42 to the receiving structure 41, and accordingly open the second channel unit 4112. The unlocking member 111 moves along the first direction Z toward the inside of the box 40 to move the sealing locking structure 42 to release the sealing of the sealing locking structure 42 to the receiving structure 41, and accordingly open the second channel unit 4112. The unlocking member 111 can also move the sealing locking structure 42 to restore the sealing of the sealing locking structure 42 to the receiving structure 41, and accordingly close the second channel unit 4112. The unlocking member 111 moves in the direction opposite to the first direction Z toward the outside of the box 40 to move the sealing locking structure 42 to restore the sealing of the sealing locking structure 42 to the receiving structure 41 and close the second channel unit 4112 accordingly.

[0199] The unlocking member 111 includes an elastic body unit 1111, and the elastic body unit 1111 is used to apply a force to the sealing locking structure 42 during the movement along the first direction Z, so as to move the sealing locking structure 42. The elastic body unit 1111 can be elastically deformed when in contact with the sealing locking structure 42. The elastic body unit 1111 can be made of an elastic material such as a belt, a highly elastic rubber or a sponge. The present disclosure does not limit the material of the elastic body unit 1111, and the material of the elastic body unit 1111 can apply a force to the sealing locking structure 42 to move the sealing locking structure 42.

[0200] For example, the elastic body unit 1111 is made of high elastic rubber. When the elastic body unit 1111 contacts the sealing and locking structure 42, it can generate elastic deformation, thereby applying a force to the sealing and locking structure 42 to move the sealing and locking structure 42.

[0201] For another example, the elastic body unit 1111 is made of a belt with teeth. When the teeth of the belt of the elastic body unit 1111 contact the sealing and locking structure 42, they exert a force on the sealing and locking structure 42 to move the sealing and locking structure 42.

[0202] The elastic body unit 1111 can move along the first direction Z toward the inside of the box 40. During the movement, the elastic body unit 1111 applies a force to the sealing and locking structure 42 to move the sealing and locking structure 42, thereby releasing the sealing of the receiving structure by the sealing and locking structure 42, and then opening the first channel unit 4111.

[0203] The elastic body unit 1111 moves toward the outside of the box 40 in the opposite direction of the first direction Z. During the movement, the elastic body unit 1111 applies a force to the sealing and locking structure 42 to move the sealing and locking structure 42, thereby restoring the sealing of the sealing and locking structure 42 to the receiving structure, and then closing the first channel unit 4111.

[0204] Optionally, the elastic body unit 1111 can move along the first direction Z toward the inside of the box 40. During the movement, the elastic body unit 1111 applies a force to the sealing and locking structure 42 to move the sealing and locking structure 42, thereby releasing the sealing of the sealing and locking structure 42 on the receiving structure, and then opening the second channel unit 4112.

[0205] The elastic body unit 1111 moves toward the outside of the box 40 in the opposite direction of the first direction Z. During the movement, the elastic body unit 1111 applies a force to the sealing and locking structure 42 to move the sealing and locking structure 42, thereby restoring the sealing of the sealing and locking structure 42 on the receiving structure, and then closing the second channel unit 4112.

[0206] The elastic body unit 1111 includes a first elastic body 1111A, which may be made of an elastic material. The first elastic body 1111A is integrally constructed. The entire first elastic body 1111A is made of an elastic material.

[0207] The first elastic body 1111A includes a first force application area D1, and the first force application area D1 is used to contact and act on the sealing and locking structure 42. When the first elastic body 1111A moves along the first direction Z, a force is applied to the sealing and locking structure 42 through the first force application area D1, so that the sealing and locking structure 42 moves. The area of ​​the first elastic body 1111A can be equal to the area of ​​the first force application area D1, or the area of ​​the first elastic body 1111A can be greater than the area of ​​the first force application area D1.

[0208] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the second channel unit 4112 is always in an open state. The first force application area D1 is used to contact and act on the first driving member 421, for example, the first force application area D1 acts on the first gear unit 4211. The first force application area D1 applies a force to the first driving member 421 during the movement along the first direction Z, so that the first driving member 421 moves, so as to drive the first moving member 422 to move, thereby correspondingly opening the first channel unit 4111. The first force application area D1 contacts the first gear unit 4211 and undergoes elastic deformation, so that the first gear unit 4211 rotates, thereby driving the first moving member 422 to move, and then opening the first channel unit 4111.

[0209] The first force application area D1 applies a force to the first driving member 421 during the process of moving in the opposite direction of the first direction Z, so that the first driving member 421 moves, so as to drive the first moving member 422 to move, thereby correspondingly closing the first channel unit 4111. The first force application area D1 contacts the first gear unit 4211 and elastically deforms, so that the first gear unit 4211 rotates in the opposite direction, thereby driving the first moving member 422 to move in the opposite direction, and then closing the first channel unit 4111.

[0210] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, the first elastic body 1111A also includes a second force application area D2, and the second force application area D2 is used to contact and act on the sealing and locking structure 42. The second force application area D2 is arranged opposite to the first force application area D1. During the movement of the first elastic body 1111A along the first direction Z, a force is applied to the sealing and locking structure 42 through the first force application area D1 and the second force application area D2, respectively, so that the sealing and locking structure 42 moves. The area of ​​the first elastic body 1111A can be equal to the sum of the areas of the first force application area D1 and the second force application area D2, or the area of ​​the first elastic body 1111A can also be greater than the sum of the areas of the first force application area D1 and the second force application area D2.

[0211] Similar to the above description, the first force application area D1 applies a force to the first driving member 421 during the process of moving along the first direction Z, so that the first driving member 421 moves, so as to drive the first moving member 422 to move, thereby correspondingly opening the first channel unit 4111. The first force application area D1 applies a force to the first driving member 421 during the process of moving in the opposite direction of the first direction Z, so that the first driving member 421 drives the first moving member 422 to move, thereby correspondingly closing the first channel unit 4111.

[0212] The second force application area D2 is used to contact and act on the second driving member 423, for example, the second force application area D2 acts on the third gear unit 4231. The second force application area D2 applies a force to the second driving member 423 during the movement along the first direction Z, so that the second driving member 423 moves, so as to drive the second moving member 424 to move, thereby correspondingly opening the second channel unit 4112. The second force application area D2 contacts the third gear unit 4231 and elastically deforms, so that the third gear unit 4231 rotates, thereby driving the second moving member 424 to move, and then opening the second channel unit 4112.

[0213] The second force application area D2 applies a force to the second driving member 423 during the process of moving in the opposite direction of the first direction Z, so that the second driving member 423 moves, so as to drive the second moving member 424 to move, thereby correspondingly closing the second channel unit 4112. The second force application area D2 contacts the third gear unit 4231 and elastically deforms, so that the third gear unit 4231 rotates in the opposite direction, thereby driving the second moving member 424 to move in the opposite direction, thereby closing the second channel unit 4112.

[0214] like Figures 1 to 7 , Fig.10 and Fig.11 As shown, the elastomer unit 1111 includes a second elastomer 1111B and a third elastomer 1111C, and the second elastomer 1111B and the third elastomer 1111C are both capable of applying a force to the sealing and locking structure 42. The second elastomer 1111B and the third elastomer 1111C are arranged at intervals. Preferably, the second elastomer 1111B and the third elastomer 1111C are arranged relatively. Optionally, the second elastomer 1111B and the third elastomer 1111C can be separated. Optionally, the second elastomer 1111B and the third elastomer 1111C can also be connected together. The second elastomer 1111B is made of an elastic material. The third elastomer 1111C is made of another elastic material. The elastic material of the second elastomer 1111B is different from the elastic material of the third elastomer 1111C. Thus, different elastic materials can be used to form two connected elastomers.

[0215] The second elastic body 1111B includes a third force application area D3, and the third elastic body 1111C includes a fourth force application area D4, and the third force application area D3 and the fourth force application area D4 are arranged opposite to each other. The third force application area D3 is used to contact and act on the sealing and locking structure 42. The fourth force application area D4 is used to contact and act on the sealing and locking structure 42. When the second elastic body 1111B and the third elastic body 1111C move along the first direction Z, the third force application area D3 and the fourth force application area D4 are used to apply force to the sealing and locking structure 42 respectively, so that the sealing and locking structure 42 moves.

[0216] Specifically, when the second elastic body 1111B moves along the first direction Z, the third force application area D3 applies a force to the sealing and locking structure 42 to move the sealing and locking structure 42. The area of ​​the second elastic body 1111B may be equal to the area of ​​the third force application area D3, or the area of ​​the second elastic body 1111B may be greater than the area of ​​the third force application area D3.

[0217] The third force application area D3 is used to contact / act on the first driving member 421, for example, the third force application area D3 acts on the first gear unit 4211. The third force application area D3 applies a force to the first driving member 421 during the movement along the first direction Z, so that the first driving member 421 moves, so as to drive the first moving member 422 to move, thereby correspondingly opening the first channel unit 4111. The third force application area D3 contacts the first gear unit 4211 and elastically deforms, so that the first gear unit 4211 rotates, thereby driving the first moving member 422 to move, and then opening the first channel unit 4111.

[0218] The third force application area D3 applies a force to the first driving member 421 during the process of moving in the opposite direction of the first direction Z, so that the first driving member 421 moves, so as to drive the first moving member 422 to move, thereby correspondingly closing the first channel unit 4111. The third force application area D3 contacts the first gear unit 4211 and elastically deforms, so that the first gear unit 4211 rotates in the opposite direction, thereby driving the first moving member 422 to move in the opposite direction, and then closing the first channel unit 4111.

[0219] When the third elastic body 1111C moves along the first direction Z, a force is applied to the sealing and locking structure 42 through the fourth force application area D4 to move the sealing and locking structure 42. The area of ​​the third elastic body 1111C may be equal to the area of ​​the fourth force application area D4, or the area of ​​the third elastic body 1111C may be greater than the area of ​​the fourth force application area D4.

[0220] The fourth force application area D4 is used to contact / act on the second driving member 423, for example, the fourth force application area D4 acts on the third gear unit 4231. The fourth force application area D4 applies a force to the second driving member 423 during the movement along the first direction Z, so that the second driving member 423 moves, so as to drive the second moving member 424 to move, thereby correspondingly opening the second channel unit 4112. The fourth force application area D4 contacts the third gear unit 4231 and elastically deforms, so that the third gear unit 4231 rotates, thereby driving the second moving member 424 to move, and then opening the second channel unit 4112.

[0221] The fourth force application area D4 applies a force to the second driving member 423 during the process of moving in the opposite direction of the first direction Z, so that the second driving member 423 moves, so as to drive the second moving member 424 to move, thereby correspondingly closing the second channel unit 4112. The fourth force application area D4 contacts the third gear unit 4231 and elastically deforms, so that the third gear unit 4231 rotates in the opposite direction, thereby driving the second moving member 424 to move in the opposite direction, thereby closing the second channel unit 4112.

[0224] The first rack unit 1112 moves toward the outside of the box 40 in the opposite direction of the first direction Z. During the movement, the first rack unit 1112 engages with the sealing locking structure 42 and drives the sealing locking structure 42 to move, thereby restoring the sealing of the sealing locking structure 42 to the receiving structure 41, and then closing the first channel unit 4111.

During the movement, the first rack unit 1112 engages with the sealing locking structure 42 and drives the sealing locking structure 42 to move, thereby restoring the sealing of the sealing locking structure 42 to the receiving structure 41, and then closing the second channel unit 4112.

[0227] The first rack unit 1112 includes a first rack 1112A, and the first rack 1112A is used to mesh with the sealing locking structure 42 and drive the sealing locking structure 42 to move during the movement along the first direction Z. The first rack 1112A includes a first meshing area E1, and the first meshing area E1 is used to mesh with the sealing locking structure 42. During the movement of the first rack 1112A along the first direction Z, the first meshing area E1 meshes with the sealing locking structure 42 and drives the sealing locking structure 42 to move. The area of ​​the first rack 1112A can be equal to the area of ​​the first meshing area E1, or the area of ​​the first rack 1112A can be greater than the area of ​​the first meshing area E1.

The first meshing area E1 meshes with the first gear unit 4211, so that the first gear unit 4211 rotates in the opposite direction, thereby driving the first moving member 422 to move in the opposite direction, thereby closing the first channel unit 4111.

[0230] like Figures 1 to 7 , Fig.12 and Fig.13 As shown, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, the first rack 1112A also includes a second meshing area E2, and the second meshing area E2 is used to mesh with the sealing locking structure 42. The second meshing area E2 is arranged opposite to the first meshing area E1. During the movement of the first rack 1112A along the first direction Z, the first meshing area E1 and the second meshing area E2 respectively mesh with the sealing locking structure 42 and drive the sealing locking structure 42 to move. The area of ​​the first rack 1112A can be equal to the sum of the areas of the first meshing area E1 and the second meshing area E2, or the area of ​​the first rack 1112A can also be greater than the sum of the areas of the first meshing area E1 and the second meshing area E2.

[0231] Similar to the above description, the first engagement area E1 engages with the first driving member 421 during the process of moving along the first direction Z, so that the first driving member 421 drives the first movable member to move, thereby correspondingly opening the first channel unit 4111. The first engagement area E1 engages with the first driving member 421 during the process of moving in the opposite direction of the first direction Z, so that the first driving member 421 drives the first movable member to move, thereby correspondingly closing the first channel unit 4111.

[0232] The second meshing area E2 is used to mesh with the second driving member 423, for example, the second meshing area E2 is used to mesh with the third gear unit 4231. The second meshing area E2 meshes with the second driving member 423 during the movement along the first direction Z, so that the second driving member 423 drives the second moving member 424 to move, thereby correspondingly opening the second channel unit 4112.

[0234] like Figures 1 to 7 , Fig.14 As shown, the first rack unit 1112 includes a second rack 1112B and a third rack 1112C, and the second rack 1112B and the third rack 1112C can both engage with the sealing locking structure 42. The second rack 1112B and the third rack 1112C are arranged at intervals. Preferably, the second rack 1112B and the third rack 1112C are arranged opposite to each other. Optionally, the second rack 1112B and the third rack 1112C can be separated. Optionally, the second rack 1112B and the third rack 1112C can also be connected together.

[0235] The second rack 1112B includes a third meshing area E3, and the third rack 1112C includes a fourth meshing area E4, and the third meshing area E3 is arranged opposite to the fourth meshing area E4. The third meshing area E3 is used to mesh with the sealing locking structure 42. The fourth meshing area E4 is used to mesh with the sealing locking structure 42. When the second rack 1112B and the third rack 1112C move along the first direction Z, they respectively mesh with the sealing locking structure 42 through the third meshing area E3 and the fourth meshing area E4, and drive the sealing locking structure 42 to move.

[0236] Specifically, when the second rack 1112B moves along the first direction Z, it engages with the sealing locking structure 42 through the third meshing area E3 and drives the sealing locking structure 42 to move. The area of ​​the second rack 1112B can be equal to the area of ​​the third meshing area E3, and the area of ​​the second rack 1112B can also be larger than the area of ​​the third meshing area E3.

The first rack unit 1112 is used to mesh with the first gear unit 4211 and drive the first gear unit 4211 to rotate during the movement along the first direction.

[0328] The distance between the tip circle of the first gear unit 4211 and the central axis of the developer container 1 is M2, which satisfies the relationship: M1>M2.

The connecting member 112 is configured as a through hole. The developer 2 can enter the box 40 through the connecting member 112. The connecting member 112 is connected to the first channel unit 4111 in the open state.

[0334] Optionally, the second channel unit 4112 may be always in an open state. The communication member 112 communicates with the second channel unit 4112 in an open state. Optionally, the communication member 112 is separated from the second channel unit 4112 in a closed state.

[0335] The communication member 112 includes an open opening. The opening is open to the outside of the communication member 112. The passage member 411 of the receiving structure 41 can enter the communication member 112 through the open opening. Preferably, the shape of the communication member 112 matches the shape of the receiving structure 41 to prevent the developer 2 from leaking.

[0336] When the unlocking structure 11 releases the seal of the sealing locking structure 42, the channel member 411 (the channel member 411 is Fig. 20 4 and 5) are located in the connecting member 112. When the unlocking member 111 releases the seal of the sealing locking structure 42, the first channel unit 4111 is located in the connecting member 112. The developer 2 can enter the first channel unit 4111 and enter the cartridge 40 through the first channel unit 4111. Thus, the developer 2 is prevented from leaking from the connection.

[0337] When the unlocking member 111 releases the seal of the sealing and locking structure 42 on the receiving structure 41, the second channel unit 4112 is located in the connecting member 112. When the unlocking member 111 releases the seal of the sealing and locking structure 42 on the receiving structure 41, gas can enter the developer 2 container through the second channel unit 4112. Thus, it is ensured that the developer 2 can enter the first channel unit 4111, and the developer 2 is prevented from leaking from the connection.

[0338] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the unlocking structure 11 of the adapter 10 can be mounted on the surface of the injection structure 12. The injection structure 12 is used to connect with the main body 20 of the developer container 1. The injection structure 12 can be constructed as a structure such as a bottle mouth, a bottle cap, etc., so as to facilitate the developer in the developer container 1 to pass through.

The unlocking structure 11 unlocks the sealing locking structure 42 of the box 40 to release the sealing locking structure 42 on the receiving structure 41. Optionally, the unlocking structure 11 can unlock the seal of the receiving structure 41 by the sealing locking structure 42 in the receiving structure 41, and the receiving structure 41 is connected with the interior of the box 40. The developer 2 can enter the interior of the box 40, thereby completing the injection of the developer 2, that is, after the developer container 1 is installed in the box 40, the box 40 is replenished with the developer 2, thereby avoiding ink leakage during the installation of the developer container 1 in the box 40 and ink leakage causing channel contamination of the receiving structure 41.

[0340] The moving direction of the unlocking structure 11 on the injection structure 12 is opposite to the moving direction of the sealing and locking structure 42.

Thus, the clamping member 122 can keep the injection structure 12 and the box 40 connected together, prevent the injection structure 12 from being disengaged, and prevent the injection structure 12 from being separated from the box 40.

[0348] The engaging member 122 is connected to the first wall unit 1211. The engaging member 122 is vertically connected to the first wall unit 1211. In a possible implementation, the engaging member 122 and the first wall unit 1211 can be configured as a split structure, and the engaging member 122 and the first wall unit 1211 are detachably connected. The engaging member 122 is detachably connected to the surface of the first wall unit 1211. The engaging member 122 can be connected to the first wall unit 1211 through a connector. Or, the engaging member 122 can be connected to the first wall unit 1211 by a snap-fitting manner. In another possible implementation, the engaging member 122 and the first wall unit 1211 can be configured as an integral structure, and the engaging member 122 and the first wall unit 1211 can be integrally formed by injection molding, or the engaging member 122 is fixedly installed on the first wall unit 1211. For example, the engaging member 122 is attached to the surface of the first wall unit 1211, etc.

[0349] In order to ensure that the unlocking member 111 can release the sealing and locking structure 42, the length of the engaging member 122 is L1, and the length of the unlocking member 111 is L2, satisfying the relationship: L1<L2. The length of the engaging member 122 along the first direction Z is L1. The length of the unlocking member 111 along the first direction Z is L2. The unlocking member 111 protrudes from the engaging member 122 along the first direction Z. Thus, it is ensured that when the engaging member 122 is engaged with the box 40, the unlocking member 111 releases the sealing of the sealing and locking structure 42 on the receiving structure.

[0350] like Figures 1 to 19 As shown, the present disclosure also provides a developer container 1, which includes a body 20 of the developer container 1 and an adapter 10, and the adapter 10 includes an unlocking structure 11 and an injection structure 12, and the injection structure 12 is used to connect the unlocking structure 11 and the body 20 of the developer container 1, and allow the developer 2 in the body 20 of the developer container 1 to pass. In this way, the unlocking structure 11 of the adapter 10 can release the seal of the sealing locking structure 42 of the box 40 on the receiving structure 41, so that the developer 2 can enter the box 40, avoiding ink leakage from the developer container 1 and channel contamination of the receiving structure 41 caused by ink leakage. The unlocking structure 11 is connected to the body 20 of the developer container 1 through the injection structure 12. The adapter 10 is mounted to the body 20 of the developer container 1.

[0351] The unlocking structure 11 of the adapter 10 of the developer container 1 is the unlocking structure 11 of the adapter 10 described above, which will not be described in detail below. The injection structure 12 of the adapter 10 of the developer container 1 is the injection structure 12 of the adapter 10 described above, which will not be described in detail below.

[0352] In a possible implementation, the body 20 of the developer container 1 is fixedly connected to the adapter 10. The body 20 of the developer container 1 and the adapter 10 can be connected together by injection molding or integral molding. In another possible implementation, the body 20 of the developer container 1 and the adapter 10 are detachably connected. The adapter 10 and the body 20 of the developer container 1 are connected together by threaded connection. The adapter 10 can also be removed from the body 20 of the developer container 1.

[0353] Further, in a possible implementation, the body 20 of the developer container 1 is fixedly connected to the injection structure 12. The body 20 of the developer container 1 and the injection structure 12 can be connected together by injection molding or integral molding. In another possible implementation, the body 20 of the developer container 1 is detachably connected to the injection structure 12. The injection structure 12 is connected to the body 20 of the developer container 1 by threaded connection. The injection structure 12 can also be removed from the body 20 of the developer container 1.

[0354] The developer 2 is arranged inside the body 20. The developer 2 can enter the box 40 through the adapter 10. In order to facilitate the discharge of the developer 2, the body 20 includes a mouth structure 21, which is connected to the inside of the body 20 for discharging the developer 2. The mouth structure 21 is located at the free end of the body 20 of the developer container 1. The mouth structure 21 is also used to connect with the adapter 10. The mouth structure 21 and the adapter 10 can be connected together by a threaded connection. In particular, the mouth structure 21 is connected to the injection structure 12. The mouth structure 21 is located in the injection structure 12. The developer 2 enters the injection structure 12 through the mouth structure 21.

[0355] In one possible implementation, the injection structure 12 is fixedly connected to the mouth structure 21. The injection structure 12 and the mouth structure 21 can be connected together by injection molding or integral molding. In another possible implementation, the injection structure 12 and the mouth structure 21 are detachably connected. The injection structure 12 can be connected to the mouth structure 21 by threaded connection. The inner surface of the injection structure 12 is provided with an internal thread, and the outer surface of the mouth structure 21 is provided with an external thread, and the internal thread and the external thread are threadedly connected together. The injection structure 12 can be installed to the mouth structure 21, so that the injection structure 12 is installed to the mouth structure 21, or the injection structure 12 is removed from the mouth structure 21.

[0356] In order to prevent the developer 2 in the body of the developer container 1 from leaking, the developer container 1 further includes a sealer 30 for sealing the injection structure 12. The sealer 30 is located in the injection structure 12. In particular, the sealer 30 is located in the mouth structure 21.

[0357] The sealer 30 can also seal the connecting member 112. The sealer 30 seals the connecting member 112. Thus, the developer 2 is prevented from leaking. In particular, the sealer 30 can prevent the developer 2 from being discharged through the mouth structure 21 and the connecting member 112. When the unlocking structure 11 releases the seal of the sealing locking structure 42 on the receiving structure 41, the sealer 30 can also be released, and the developer 2 can enter the receiving structure 41.

[0358] Further, the sealer 30 includes a sealing structure 31 and a support structure 32, and the sealing structure 31 is connected to the body 20 through the support structure 32. The support structure 32 is located inside the body 20. Optionally, the support structure 32 is located in the mouth structure 21. The support structure 32 is configured as a roughly cylindrical structure. The axial direction of the support structure 32 is parallel to the first direction Z. The support structure 32 can be engaged with the mouth structure 21.

[0359] When the unlocking structure 11 releases the seal of the sealing locking structure 42 on the receiving structure 41 , the sealing structure 31 opens the mouth structure 21 so that the channel member 411 of the receiving structure 41 communicates with the interior of the developer container 1 .

[0360] When the unlocking structure 11 releases the seal of the sealing locking structure 42 on the receiving structure 41, the sealing structure 31 opens the mouth structure 21 so that the first channel unit 4111 is connected to the inside of the developer container 1. The receiving structure 41 applies a force in the direction toward the inside of the developer container 1 to the sealing structure 31 to push the sealing structure 31 to move in the direction toward the inside of the developer container 1. The receiving structure 41 can drive the sealing structure 31 to move in the opposite direction of the first direction Z so that the sealing structure 31 located at the sealing position moves to the opening position. The sealing structure 31 can move in a direction away from the connecting member 112. In this way, the sealing structure 31 can be spaced apart from the connecting member 112 to open the mouth structure 21. The first channel unit 4111 can extend into the mouth structure 21. Preferably, the first channel unit 4111 of the receiving structure 41 can extend into the supporting structure 32. The receiving structure 41 can release the seal of the developer container 1 so that the developer 2 inside the developer container 1 can enter the first channel unit 4111 of the receiving structure 41.

[0361] When the unlocking structure 11 releases the seal of the sealing locking structure 42 on the receiving structure 41, the sealing structure 31 opens the mouth structure 21 so that the second channel unit 4112 is connected to the inside of the developer container 1. The receiving structure 41 applies a force to the sealing structure 31 in the direction toward the inside of the developer container 1 to push the sealing structure 31 to move in the direction toward the inside of the developer container 1. The receiving structure 41 can drive the sealing structure 31 to move in the opposite direction of the first direction Z so that the sealing structure 31 located in the sealing position moves to the open position. The sealing structure 31 can move in a direction away from the connecting member 112. In this way, the sealing structure 31 can be spaced apart from the connecting member 112 to open the mouth structure 21. The second channel unit 4112 can extend into the mouth structure 21. Preferably, the second channel unit 4112 of the receiving structure 41 can extend into the supporting structure 32. The receiving structure 41 can release the seal of the developer container 1, and the second channel unit 4112 can balance the internal pressure of the developer container 1 with the external pressure, so that the developer 2 can flow into the first channel unit 4111 under the action of gravity.

[0362] The sealing structure 31 is movably connected to the supporting structure 32 along the first direction Z. One end of the sealing structure 31 is used to close the connecting member 112. The sealing structure 31 is arranged in the supporting structure 32. The supporting structure 32 includes a guide member 321, and the axial direction of the guide member 321 is parallel to the first direction Z. The other end of the sealing structure 31 is located in the guide member 321. For example, the guide member 321 includes a hole, and the hole penetrates the supporting structure 32 along the first direction Z. The sealing structure 31 is arranged in the guide member 321. The sealing structure 31 can move in the guide member 321. The guide member 321 can guide the movement of the sealing structure 31.

[0363] The sealing structure 31 is movable between a sealing position and an open position relative to the supporting structure 32. The sealing structure 31 is movable between the sealing position and the open position along the first direction Z. The sealing structure 31 at the sealing position closes the connecting member 112. The sealing structure 31 at the sealing position is closely fitted with the connecting member 112. The sealing structure 31 at the sealing position can block the mouth structure 21 of the developer container 1. The sealing structure 31 at the sealing position can prevent the developer 2 from being discharged toward the outside of the developer container 1.

[0364] The sealing structure 31 at the open position is spaced apart from the connecting member 112 so that a portion of the receiving structure 41 enters the mouth structure 21. There is a gap between the sealing structure 31 at the open position and the connecting member 112. The developer 2 inside the body 20 enters the connecting member 112 through the gap between the sealing structure 31 at the open position and the connecting member 112. The first channel unit 4111 enters the mouth structure 21. The developer 2 inside the body 20 can enter the first channel unit 4111 of the receiving structure 41.

[0365] The sealer 30 further includes a sealing plugging structure 34, which is sleeved on the sealing structure 31. Optionally, the sealing structure 31 further includes a limiting member 311, which is used to limit the movement of the sealing plugging structure 34. The sealing plugging structure 34 is located between the limiting member 311 and the connecting member 112. The end of the sealing plugging structure 34 along the first direction Z abuts against the limiting member 311.

[0366] The receiving structure 41 can apply a force to the sealing structure 31 so that the sealing structure 31 can move. The unlocking structure 11 moves toward the inner direction of the box 40 along the first direction Z, and the receiving structure 41 correspondingly moves toward the inner direction of the developer container 1 in the opposite direction of the first direction Z. The receiving structure 41 moves into the mouth structure 21 through the connecting member 112. The receiving structure 41 abuts against the sealing structure 31. The receiving structure 41 applies a force to the sealing structure 31 to push the sealing structure 31 to move. The receiving structure 41 can drive the sealing structure 31 to move in the opposite direction of the first direction Z.

[0367] The sealing plugging structure 34 can move between the sealing position and the open position along the first direction Z. The sealing plugging structure 34 located at the sealing position closes the connecting member 112. The sealing plugging structure 34 located at the sealing position is tightly fitted with the connecting member 112. The sealing plugging structure 34 located at the sealing position can block the mouth structure 21 of the developer container 1. The sealing plugging structure 34 located at the sealing position can prevent the developer 2 from being discharged toward the outside of the developer container 1.

[0368] Preferably, the sealer 30 further comprises a first sealing ring structure 35, which is located in the mouth structure 21. The first sealing ring structure 35 is closely fitted with the inner surface of the injection structure 12. The first sealing ring structure 35 is located between the sealing plug structure 34 and the injection structure 12. The first sealing ring structure 35 prevents leakage of the developer 2. The first sealing ring structure 35 comprises a through hole, which corresponds to the connecting member 112. The sealing plug structure 34 located in the sealing position is closely fitted with the first sealing ring structure 35 to seal the through hole. The sealing plug structure 34 located in the open position is spaced apart from the first sealing ring structure 35 to open the through hole.

[0369] The sealing plugging structure 34 at the open position is spaced apart from the connecting member 112 so that a portion of the receiving structure 41 enters the mouth structure 21. There is a gap between the sealing plugging structure 34 at the open position and the connecting member 112. The developer 2 inside the body 20 enters the connecting member 112 through the gap between the sealing plugging structure 34 at the open position and the connecting member 112.

[0370] In order to facilitate the return of the sealing structure 31, the sealer 30 also includes an elastic structure 33, and along the first direction Z, the two ends of the elastic structure 33 are respectively against the support structure 32 and the sealing structure 31. The elastic structure 33 can apply an elastic force to the sealing structure 31 so that the sealing structure 31 moves in the direction of the connecting member 112. One end of the elastic structure 33 along the first direction Z is against the support structure 32. For example, one end of the elastic structure 33 along the first direction Z is against the guide member 321. The other end of the elastic structure 33 along the first direction Z is against the sealing structure 31. The other end of the elastic structure 33 along the first direction Z is against the limiting member 311. The movement of the sealing structure 31 can cause the elastic structure 33 to produce elastic deformation. The elastic structure 33 can produce elastic deformation along the first direction Z.

[0371] The sealing structure 31 at the open position compresses the elastic structure 33. The sealing structure 31 at the sealed position moves toward the inside of the developer container 1 to compress the elastic structure 33. The elastic structure 33 generates elastic deformation to generate an elastic force. The elastic structure 33 applies an elastic force to the sealing structure 31 at the open position to return to the sealed position. The elastic structure 33 applies an elastic force along the first direction Z toward the connecting member 112 to the sealing structure 31 at the open position. The elastic force enables the sealing structure 31 at the open position to move to the sealed position.

[0372] Of course, the sealing structure 31 located at the open position can also return to the sealing position in other ways. For example, the sealing structure 31 located at the open position can also return to the sealing position under the action of gravity, which is not limited in this embodiment.

[0373] The developer container 1 disclosed in the present invention has an adapter 10 with an unlocking structure 11, which drives the sealing locking structure 42 of the box 40 through the adapter 10, and pulls up the sealing locking structure 42 of the box 40 to release the seal to replenish the developer 2, thereby preventing other incompatible or defective developers 2 from being added into the box 40 to avoid affecting printing.

[0374] Preferably, the developer 2 may be ink, the developer container 1 may be an ink bottle, the box 40 may be an ink tank or a device for printing and storing ink, and the image forming device may be a printer. In this way, the developer container 1 of the present disclosure releases the sealing locking structure 42 of the box 40 through the unlocking structure 11 to move the seal of the receiving structure 41 to replenish ink, thereby preventing other incompatible inks or bad inks from being added to the printer, thereby avoiding affecting the printing quality or avoiding risks such as blocking the print head or cutting off the ink of the print head.

[0375] like Figures 1 to 7 , Figures 20 to 28As shown, the present disclosure further provides a box 40, which includes a receiving structure 41 and a sealing and locking structure 42, wherein the receiving structure 41 is open to the outside of the box 40. Figure 1 As shown, the receiving structure 41 is used to receive and connect the developer container 1. The developer container 1 includes an adapter 10, and the adapter 10 includes an unlocking structure 11, which extends into the receiving structure 41 along the first direction Z. The sealing locking structure 42 is used to seal the receiving structure 41. The sealing locking structure 42 cooperates with the unlocking structure 11 of the adapter 10 and is unlocked to release the sealing of the receiving structure 41 by the sealing locking structure 42.

[0376] The sealing and locking structure 42 can seal and lock the receiving structure 41 of the box 40, which can prevent the developer container 1 from leaking ink and contaminating the channel caused by the ink leakage during the installation process of the developer container 1 to the box 40. When the sealing and locking structure 42 seals the receiving structure 41, the developer 2 cannot enter the box 40 through the receiving structure 41. When the sealing and locking structure 42 releases the seal, the developer 2 can enter the box 40 through the receiving structure 41. In this way, safety and stability are guaranteed.

[0377] The developer container 1 is the aforementioned developer container 1, which will not be described in detail below. The adapter 10 is the aforementioned adapter 10, which will not be described in detail below. The unlocking structure 11 is the aforementioned unlocking structure 11, which will not be described in detail below. The injection structure 12 is the aforementioned injection structure 12, which will not be described in detail below.

[0378] The receiving structure 41 is used to allow the developer 2 to enter. Specifically, the receiving structure 41 includes a channel member 411, and the channel member 411 can allow the developer to enter the interior of the box 40. The channel member 411 includes a first channel unit 4111, and the first channel unit 4111 is used to replenish the developer 2. The first channel unit 4111 is open to the outside of the box 40. For example, the first channel unit 4111 can be an ink injection channel unit, and ink can enter the box 40 through the first channel unit 4111.

[0379] The first channel unit 4111 can be sealed by the sealing and locking structure 42. The sealing and locking structure 42 seals the receiving structure 41 to close the first channel unit 4111. The sealing and locking structure 42 seals the first channel unit 4111 to separate the first channel unit 4111 from the interior of the box 40. When the sealing and locking structure 42 does not release the seal on the first channel unit 4111, the developer cannot enter the interior of the box 40. The sealing and locking structure 42 can protect the box 40 and prevent the developer container from leaking ink and contaminating the channel due to the ink leakage during the installation process of the developer container to the box 40.

[0380] The sealing locking structure 42 releases the seal on the receiving structure 41 to open the first channel unit 4111. The adapter can release the seal of the sealing locking structure 42 on the receiving structure 41. When the developer container 1 replenishes the developer to the box 40, the adapter 10 can release the seal of the sealing structure on the receiving structure 41. In particular, the unlocking structure 11 can release the seal of the sealing structure on the receiving structure 41. The first channel unit 4111 is connected to the outside of the box 40. The first channel unit 4111 is used to allow the developer 2 to enter. The developer 2 in the developer container 1 can enter the first channel unit 4111 to replenish the developer 2 to the box 40.

[0381] The first channel unit 4111 is located in the connecting member 112. When the unlocking structure 11 releases the seal of the sealing locking structure 42 on the first channel unit 4111, the first channel unit 4111 is connected to the inside of the box 40. The developer 2 can enter the first channel unit 4111. A part of the first channel unit 4111 is located in the connecting member 112. The first channel unit 4111 enters the mouth structure 21 through the connecting member 112 and releases the seal of the connecting member 112 by the sealer 30. In this way, ink leakage and channel contamination caused by ink leakage can be avoided during the installation of the developer container 1 to the box 40.

[0382] The sealing and locking structure 42 includes a first driving member 421 and a first moving member 422. The first driving member 421 drives the first moving member 422 to move under the action of the unlocking structure 11. The unlocking structure 11 drives the first driving member 421 in the same manner as the unlocking structure 11 driving the first driving member 421, which will not be repeated here. The first driving member 421 can rotate to open or close the first channel unit 4111. The first driving member 421 can move, thereby driving the first moving member 422 to move, so as to release or restore the seal of the first moving member 422 on the first channel unit 4111, and accordingly open and close the first channel unit 4111.

[0383] The movement of the first driving member 421 may be rotation, movement, or a combination of the two. The first moving member 422 can move along the first direction Z. The first moving member 422 moves along the first direction Z under the action of the first driving member 421. The moving direction of the first moving member 422 is opposite to the moving direction of the unlocking structure 11.

[0384] When the unlocking structure 11 releases the seal of the sealing locking structure 42, the first channel unit 4111 is opened. The first moving member 422 can also move in the direction opposite to the first direction Z toward the outside of the box 40. The first moving member 422 can also move in the direction opposite to the first direction Z toward the outside of the box 40 under the action of the first driving member 421. The first channel unit 4111 in the opened state is also connected to the inside of the developer 2 container. The first channel unit 4111 in the opened state is also connected to the inside of the box 40.

[0385] When the unlocking structure 11 does not rotate the first driving member 421, the first channel unit 4111 in the open state is closed. The first moving member 422 can move along the first direction Z toward the inside of the box 40. The first moving member 422 can move along the first direction Z toward the inside of the box 40 under the action of the first driving member 421. The first channel unit 4111 in the closed state is separated from the inside of the box 40.

[0386] The first driving member 421 drives the first movable member 422 to move between the first communication position and the first closed position under the action of the unlocking structure 11. The first movable member 422 can move along a first direction. The first movable member 422 can move along the first direction toward the inside of the box 40. The first movable member 422 can also move in the direction opposite to the first direction toward the outside of the box 40. The first movable member 422 located in the first closed position can move to the first communication position in the direction opposite to the first direction toward the outside of the box 40.

[0387] The first moving member 422 located at the first closing position seals the first passage unit 4111. The first passage unit 4111 is separated from the interior of the cartridge 40. The first passage unit 4111 is not connected to the interior of the cartridge 40. The developer 2 in the first passage unit 4111 does not enter the interior of the cartridge 40 through the first moving member 422 located at the first closing position.

[0388] The first passage unit 4111 communicates with the interior of the cartridge 40 through the first moving member 422 located at the first communicating position. The developer 2 enters the interior of the cartridge 40 through the first passage unit 4111 and the first moving member 422 located at the first communicating position. Thus, the developer 2 is replenished.

[0389] Preferably, the first driving member 421 includes a first gear unit 4211, which can rotate to drive the first moving member 422 to move. The axial direction of the first gear unit 4211 is perpendicular to the first direction Z. The axial direction of the first gear unit 4211 is parallel to the second direction Y.

[0390] The unlocking structure 11 can drive the first gear unit 4211 to rotate. The unlocking structure 11 drives the first gear unit 4211 in the same manner as the aforementioned unlocking structure 11 drives the first gear unit 4211, which will not be repeated here. The first gear unit 4211 can rotate around the second direction Y. The first gear unit 4211 rotates to drive the first moving member 422 to move. The first gear unit 4211 rotates to drive the first moving member 422 to move along the first direction Z.

[0391] The first moving member 422 includes a second rack unit 4221, and the second rack unit 4221 is meshed with the first gear unit 4211. The second rack unit 4221 can move along the first direction Z. The first gear unit 4211 rotates to drive the second rack unit 4221 to move along the first direction Z. The second rack unit 4221 can move toward the inside of the box 40 along the first direction Z. The second rack unit 4221 can also move toward the outside of the box 40 in the opposite direction of the first direction Z.

[0392] Of course, the first driving member 421 may also include other structures, such as a connecting rod mechanism, etc. The unlocking structure 11 can enable the first driving member 421 to move, thereby driving the first moving member 422 to move, which is not limited in this embodiment.

[0393] Further, the first moving member 422 further includes a first moving unit 4222, and the first moving unit 4222 is connected to the second rack unit 4221 along the first direction Z. The first moving unit 4222 is closer to the inside of the box 40 than the second rack unit 4221 along the first direction Z. The first moving unit 4222 is provided with a first port 4222A. The first port 4222A penetrates the first moving unit 4222. The first port 4222A penetrates the first moving unit 4222 along the third direction X. The third direction X is perpendicular to the first direction Z. The third direction X is perpendicular to the second direction Y.

[0394] The first passage unit 4111 communicates with the interior of the cartridge 40 through the first port 4222A located at the first communication position. The developer in the first passage unit 4111 moves to the interior of the cartridge 40 through the first port 4222A located at the first communication position. Thus, the developer replenishment is completed.

[0395] The receiving structure 41 further includes a receiving cavity member 412, which is open in a direction opposite to the first direction Z toward the outside of the box 40. The receiving cavity member 412 is used to accommodate the unlocking structure 11. The open opening of the receiving cavity member 412 enables the unlocking structure 11 to enter. The unlocking structure 11 can enter the receiving cavity member 412 of the receiving structure 41 along the first direction Z. The first moving member 422 and the receiving cavity member 412 are respectively located on both sides of the first driving member 421.

[0396] A portion of the first driving member 421 is located in the receiving cavity member 412. After the unlocking structure 11 enters the receiving cavity member 412, it can apply a force to the first driving member 421. The unlocking structure 11 can contact the first driving member 421 located in the receiving cavity member 412. The unlocking structure 11 applies a force to the first driving member 421 located in the receiving cavity member 412, so that the first driving member 421 rotates. In this way, the unlocking structure 11 can drive the first moving member 422 (such as the second rack unit 4221) to move by driving the first driving member 421 (such as the first gear unit 4211) to rotate.

[0397] The channel member 411 may further include a second channel unit 4112 for ventilation. The second channel unit 4112 may be a ventilation channel member. One end of the second channel unit 4112 is open toward the outside of the box 40.

[0398] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the second channel unit 4112 can be in an open state all the time. In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the second channel unit 4112 is closed when the sealing and locking structure 42 seals the receiving structure 41, and is opened when the sealing and locking structure 42 releases the seal on the receiving structure 41. The second channel unit 4112 can also be sealed by the sealing and locking structure 42 to close the second channel unit 4112. The sealing and locking structure 42 can also release the seal on the other end of the second channel unit 4112 to open the second channel unit 4112. When both the first channel unit 4111 and the second channel unit 4112 are in an open state, the developer 2 can enter the box 40.

[0399] The sealing and locking structure 42 seals the other end of the second passage unit 4112 to separate the other end of the second passage unit 4112 from the interior of the cartridge 40. The sealing and locking structure 42 seals the other end of the second passage unit 4112 to separate the other end of the second passage unit 4112 from the interior of the cartridge 40. Gas does not enter the developer container 1 through the second passage unit 4112.

[0400] The sealing and locking structure 42 releases the seal on the other end of the second channel unit 4112, so that the other end of the second channel unit 4112 is connected to both the inside and the outside of the box 40. Gas (especially air) can enter the second channel unit 4112 and enter the developer container 1 through the second channel unit 4112. The box 40 also includes a shell structure 43, and the shell structure 43 is provided with a vent 433A. The vent 433A communicates the inside and the outside of the box 40. The gas outside the box 40 can enter the inside of the box 40 through the vent 433A. The adapter 10 can release the seal of the receiving structure 41 of the box 40 by the sealing and locking structure 42, and the gas can enter the developer container 1 through the second channel unit 4112, thereby maintaining the balance of air pressure and ensuring that the developer 2 can move into the box 40.

[0401] The second channel unit 4112 is located in the connecting member 112. When the unlocking structure 11 releases the seal of the other end of the second channel unit 4112 by the sealing locking structure 42, the second channel unit 4112 is connected to the inside of the box 40. A part of the second channel unit 4112 is located in the connecting member 112. The second channel unit 4112 enters the mouth structure 21 through the connecting member 112, and releases the seal of the connecting member 112 by the sealer 30.

[0402] The sealing and locking structure 42 includes a second driving member 423 and a second moving member 424, and the second driving member 423 drives the second moving member 424 to move under the action of the unlocking structure 11. The unlocking structure 11 drives the second driving member 423 in the same manner as the unlocking structure 11 drives the second driving member 423, which will not be repeated here. The second driving member 423 can rotate to open or close the second channel unit 4112. The second driving member 423 can move, thereby driving the second moving member 424 to move, so as to release or restore the seal of the second moving member 424 on the second channel unit 4112, and open and close the second channel unit 4112 accordingly.

[0403] The movement of the second driving member 423 may be rotation, movement, or a combination of the two. The second moving member 424 can move along the first direction Z. The second moving member 424 moves along the first direction Z under the action of the second driving member 423. The moving direction of the second moving member 424 is opposite to the moving direction of the unlocking structure 11.

[0404] When the unlocking structure 11 releases the seal of the sealing locking structure 42, the second passage unit 4112 is opened. The second moving member 424 can also move in the direction opposite to the first direction Z toward the outside of the box 40. The second moving member 424 can also move in the direction opposite to the first direction Z toward the outside of the box 40 under the action of the second driving member 423. The second passage unit 4112 in the opened state is also connected to the inside of the developer container 1. The second passage unit 4112 in the opened state is also connected to the inside of the box 40.

[0405] When the unlocking structure 11 does not rotate the second driving member 423, the second channel unit 4112 in the open state is closed. The second moving member 424 can move along the first direction Z toward the inside of the box 40. The second moving member 424 can move along the first direction Z toward the inside of the box 40 under the action of the second driving member 423. The second channel unit 4112 in the closed state is separated from the inside of the box 40.

[0406] The second driving member 423 drives the second movable member 424 to move between the second communication position and the second closed position under the action of the unlocking structure 11. The second movable member 424 can move along the first direction Z. The second movable member 424 can move along the first direction Z toward the inside of the box 40. The second movable member 424 can also move in the direction opposite to the first direction Z toward the outside of the box 40. The second movable member 424 located in the second closed position can move to the second communication position in the direction opposite to the first direction Z toward the outside of the box 40.

[0407] The second moving member 424 located at the second closed position seals the other end of the second passage unit 4112. The second passage unit 4112 is separated from the interior of the cartridge 40. The second passage unit 4112 is not connected to the interior of the cartridge 40. The developer 2 in the second passage unit 4112 does not enter the interior of the cartridge 40 through the second moving member 424 located at the second closed position. Gas does not enter the interior of the developer container 1 through the second moving member 424 located at the second closed position.

[0408] The other end of the second channel unit 4112 is connected to both the inside and outside of the box 40 through the second moving member 424 located at the second communication position. Gas can enter the developer container 1 through the second channel unit 4112, thereby maintaining the balance of air pressure and ensuring that the developer 2 can move into the box 40.

[0409] Preferably, the second driving member 423 includes a third gear unit 4231, which can rotate to drive the second moving member 424 to move. The axial direction of the third gear unit 4231 is perpendicular to the first direction Z. The axial direction of the third gear unit 4231 is parallel to the second direction Y.

[0410] The unlocking structure can drive the third gear unit 4231 to rotate. The unlocking structure drives the third gear unit 4231 in the same manner as the aforementioned unlocking structure drives the third gear unit 4231, which will not be repeated here. The third gear unit 4231 can rotate around the second direction Y. The third gear unit 4231 rotates to drive the second moving member 424 to move. The third gear unit 4231 rotates to drive the second moving member 424 to move along the first direction Z.

[0411] The second moving member 424 includes a third rack unit 4241, and the third rack unit 4241 is meshed with the third gear unit 4231. The third rack unit 4241 can move along the first direction Z. The rotation of the third gear unit 4231 can drive the third rack unit 4241 to move along the first direction Z. The third rack unit 4241 can move toward the inside of the box 40 along the first direction Z. The third rack unit 4241 can also move toward the outside of the box 40 in the opposite direction of the first direction Z.

[0412] Of course, the second driving member 423 may also include other structures, such as a connecting rod mechanism, etc. The unlocking structure can enable the second driving member 423 to move, thereby driving the second moving member 424 to move, which is not limited in this embodiment.

[0413] Further, the second moving member 424 also includes a second moving unit 4242, and the second moving unit 4242 is connected to the third rack unit 4241 along the first direction Z. The second moving unit 4242 is closer to the inside of the box 40 than the third rack unit 4241 along the first direction Z. The second moving unit 4242 is provided with a second port 4242A. The second port 4242A penetrates the second moving unit 4242. The second port 4242A penetrates the second moving unit 4242 along the third direction X. The third direction X is perpendicular to the first direction Z. The third direction X is perpendicular to the second direction Y.

[0414] The second channel unit 4112 communicates with both the inside and the outside of the cartridge 40 through the second port 4242A located at the second communication position. Gas enters the second channel unit 4112 through the second port 4242A located at the second communication position, and enters the developer container through the second channel unit 4112. Thus, ventilation is completed.

[0415] The receiving structure 41 further includes a receiving cavity member 412, which is open in a direction opposite to the first direction Z toward the outside of the box 40. The receiving cavity member 412 is used to accommodate the unlocking structure 11. The open opening of the receiving cavity member 412 enables the unlocking structure 11 to enter. The unlocking structure 11 can enter the receiving cavity member 412 of the receiving structure 41 along the first direction Z. The second moving member 424 and the receiving cavity member 412 are respectively located on both sides of the second driving member 423.

[0416] A portion of the second driving member 423 is located in the receiving cavity member 412. After the unlocking structure 11 enters the receiving cavity member 412, it can apply a force to the second driving member 423. The unlocking structure 11 can contact the second driving member 423 located in the receiving cavity member 412. The unlocking structure 11 applies a force to the second driving member 423 located in the receiving cavity member 412, so that the second driving member 423 rotates. In this way, the unlocking structure 11 can drive the second moving member 424 (such as the third rack unit 4241) to move by driving the second driving member 423 (such as the third gear unit 4231) to rotate.

[0417] In order to ensure air pressure balance, the second channel unit 4112 protrudes from the first channel unit 4111 in the opposite direction of the first direction Z. The second channel unit 4112 protrudes from the first channel unit 4111 in the direction opposite to the first direction Z toward the outside of the box 40. One end of the second channel unit 4112 protrudes from one end of the first channel unit 4111 in the opposite direction of the first direction Z. Thus, air pressure balance is ensured, so that the developer 2 can be smoothly injected into the box 40.

[0418] The box 40 also includes a receiving structure 49, which is connected to the housing structure 43. The housing structure 43 also includes a top wall 434, and the top wall 434 is provided with a receiving structure 41. The receiving structure 49 is connected to the top wall 434. The receiving structure 49 is protruded from the top wall 434. The receiving structure 49 is protruded from the top wall 434 along the first direction Z. The receiving structure 49 is sleeved to the outside of the receiving structure 41. The receiving structure 49 is configured as a generally cylindrical structure.

[0419] In order to facilitate the return of the sealing and locking structure 42, the box 40 also includes a return structure 44, which is connected to the sealing and locking structure 42. Specifically, the return structure 44 can be configured as an elastic member. One end of the return structure 44 along the first direction Z abuts against the housing structure 43. Optionally, one end of the return structure 44 along the first direction Z abuts against the receiving structure 49. The other end of the return structure 44 along the first direction Z abuts against the sealing and locking structure 42. When the unlocking structure 11 no longer applies a force to the sealing and locking structure 42, the return structure 44 applies an elastic force to the sealing and locking structure 42 to return the sealing and locking structure 42.

[0420] For example, when the unlocking structure 11 no longer applies a force to the first gear unit 4211, the return structure 44 applies an elastic force to the second rack unit 4221, so that the second rack unit 4221 returns to the first closed position. When the unlocking structure 11 no longer applies a force to the third gear unit 4231, the return structure 44 applies an elastic force to the third rack unit 4241, so that the third rack unit 4241 returns to the second closed position.

[0421] The housing structure 43 contains the developer 2. In order to ensure that the developer 2 is provided to the main unit of the image forming device, a partition structure 45 is provided in the housing structure 43 to separate the interior of the housing structure 43. The interior of the housing structure 43 is divided into a first chamber member 452 and a second chamber member 453 by the partition structure 45, and the first chamber member 452 is closer to the receiving structure 41 than the second chamber member 453 along the first direction Z. The second chamber member 453 is provided with a connection hole, and the connection hole is used to connect with the main unit of the image forming device. The developer 2 in the second chamber member 453 can enter the main unit of the image forming device through the connection hole.

[0422] A second sealing ring structure 47 is provided between the receiving structure 41 and the sealing and locking structure 42 to prevent leakage of the developer 2. A third sealing ring structure 48 is provided between the sealing and locking structure 42 and the housing structure 43 to prevent leakage of the developer 2. Preferably, the housing structure 43 further includes a housing shell member 433, which is connected to the interior of the housing structure 43. The housing shell member 433 is connected to the top wall 434 of the housing structure 43. The sealing and locking structure 42 is provided in the housing shell member 433. A third sealing ring structure 48 is provided between the sealing and locking structure 42 and the housing shell member 433.

[0423] The housing member 433 is also provided with a vent 433A, and the vent 433A runs through the housing member 433. The vent 433A communicates the inside and outside of the box 40. The gas outside the box 40 enters the box 40 through the vent 433A. In particular, the gas outside the box 40 enters the housing member 433 through the vent 433A. The second channel unit 4112 is communicated with the vent 433A through the second port 4242A located at the second communication position. The gas outside the box 40 enters the second port 4242A located at the second communication position through the vent 433A, and moves to the second channel unit 4112 through the second port 4242A. Thus, the air pressure balance is maintained. The partition structure 45 is provided with a communication port member 451. The communication port member 451 runs through the partition structure 45 along the thickness direction of the partition structure 45. The communication port member 451 is used to communicate the first chamber member 452 and the second chamber member 453. The communication port member 451 can be opened.

[0424] The box 40 further includes a swing structure 46, which is located in the housing structure 43. Preferably, the swing structure 46 is located in the first chamber member 452. The swing structure 46 is movable relative to the housing structure 43 to open or close the communication port member 451.

[0425] When the swing structure 46 closes the communication port member 451 , the first chamber member 452 and the second chamber member 453 are separated. The developer 2 in the first chamber member 452 does not enter the second chamber member 453 through the closed communication port member 451 .

[0426] When the swing structure 46 opens the communication port member 451, the first chamber member 452 and the second chamber member 453 communicate with each other. The first chamber member 452 and the second chamber member 453 communicate with each other through the communication port member 451. The developer 2 in the first chamber member 452 can enter the second chamber member 453 through the opened communication port member 451. Thus, the developer 2 can be supplied to the image forming device.

[0427] The swing structure 46 can move between an open position and a closed position. The swing structure 46 can swing between an open position and a closed position. The swing structure 46 in the open position opens the communication port member 451. The swing structure 46 in the open position is spaced apart from the communication port member 451. The swing structure 46 in the closed position blocks the communication port member 451.

[0428] When the sealing and locking structure 42 releases the seal on the receiving structure 41, the swing structure 46 at the open position is spaced apart from the communication port member 451 to open the communication port member 451. When the sealing and locking structure 42 seals the receiving structure 41, the swing structure 46 at the closed position blocks the communication port member 451.

[0429] Preferably, the sealing locking structure 42 can move along the first direction Z. The sealing locking structure 42 is connected to the swing structure 46. The end of the sealing locking structure 42 along the first direction Z is connected to the swing structure 46. The sealing locking structure 42 moves along the first direction Z, which can drive the swing structure 46 to move.

[0430] The sealing and locking structure 42 at the closed position can move to the communication position in the direction opposite to the first direction Z toward the outside of the box 40, pulling the swing structure 46 at the open position to move to the closed position. The swing structure 46 at the closed position blocks the communication port member 451. The developer 2 in the first chamber member 452 will not enter the second chamber member 453 through the closed communication port member 451.

[0431] The sealing locking structure 42 located at the communication position can be moved to the closed position along the first direction Z toward the interior of the box 40, and the swing structure 46 located at the closed position is pressed down to move to the open position. The swing structure 46 located at the open position is spaced apart from the communication port member 451. The swing structure 46 located at the open position opens the communication port member 451. The developer 2 in the first chamber member 452 can enter the second chamber member 453 through the opened communication port member 451. More specifically, the developer container 1 moves outward to separate from the receiving structure 41. The unlocking structure no longer applies a force to the sealing locking structure 42. The second rack unit 4221 and the third rack unit 4241 are pressed down, and the connecting unit 4612 of the swing structure 46 moves downward, so that the blocking unit 4611 of the swing structure 46 moves to the open position.

[0432] The swing structure 46 includes a swing member 461 and a pivot member 462, and the swing member 461 rotates around the pivot member 462. The pivot member 462 is connected to the housing structure 43, and the swing member 461 is hinged to the pivot member 462. The swing member 461 is constructed as a roughly rod-shaped structure. The pivot member 462 can be constructed as a pivot shaft. One end of the pivot shaft is connected to the housing structure 43. The other end of the pivot shaft is hinged to the swing member 461. The axial direction of the pivot shaft is parallel to the second direction Y. The swing member 461 is provided with a pivot hole, and the pivot hole is sleeved to the pivot shaft. The axial direction of the pivot hole is parallel to the second direction Y. The pivot hole can rotate relative to the pivot shaft. The swing member 461 can swing relative to the pivot shaft. In order to facilitate the return, the swing structure 46 is connected to the housing structure 43 by a swing elastic member 463. The swing elastic member 463 can be used as the elastic recovery of the swing member 461.

[0433] Further, the swing member 461 includes a blocking unit 4611 and a connecting unit 4612, and the pivoting member 462 is located between the blocking unit 4611 and the connecting unit 4612. The blocking unit 4611 and the connecting unit 4612 are respectively located at two ends of the swing member 461 along the third direction. The connecting unit 4612 is connected to the sealing locking structure 42. The connecting unit 4612 and the sealing locking structure 42 are connected together by a connecting piece. The connecting unit 4612 and the sealing locking structure 42 are pivotally connected together. The connecting unit 4612 and the second moving unit 4242 are pivotally connected together. The sealing locking structure 42 moves to drive the pivoting member 462 to swing. The movement of the sealing locking structure 42 can drive the connecting unit 4612 to move, thereby driving the blocking unit 4611 to swing.

[0434] The moving direction of the sealing locking structure 42 (such as the second moving unit 4242) is opposite to the moving direction of the blocking unit 4611. When the sealing locking structure 42 moves toward the partition structure 45, the blocking unit 4611 moves away from the partition structure 45. When the sealing locking structure 42 moves away from the partition structure 45, the blocking unit 4611 moves toward the partition structure 45.

[0435] The sealing locking structure 42 can drive the blocking unit 4611 to move between the open position and the closed position. The blocking unit 4611 located at the open position opens the communication port member 451. The blocking unit 4611 located at the open position is spaced apart from the communication port member 451. The blocking unit 4611 located at the closed position blocks the communication port member 451. The blocking unit 4611 located at the closed position fits tightly with the communication port member 451. The blocking unit 4611 is provided with a sealing cap. The sealing cap located at the closed position can fit tightly with the communication port member 451.

[0436] In order to more clearly observe the inside of the box 40, the box 40 also includes a sealing film 432, which is used to seal the housing structure 43. The sealing film 432 can be made of a transparent material. In this way, the operator can observe the swing of the swing structure 46 through the sealing film 432.

[0437] In order to make the injection structure and the box 40 connected more firmly, the housing structure 43 is further provided with a matching component 431, and the injection structure 12 is provided with a clamping component 122, and the clamping component 122 and the matching component 431 are clamped. Therefore, the clamping component 122 and the matching component 431 can keep the injection structure 12 and the box 40 connected together, prevent the injection structure 12 from being disengaged, and prevent the injection structure 12 from being separated from the box 40. The receiving structure 49 is provided with a matching component 431. The outer surface of the receiving structure 49 is provided with a matching component 431.

[0438] One of the engaging member 122 and the matching member 431 is configured as a buckle, and the other is configured as a slot. The buckle and the slot are connected together. For example, the engaging member 122 is configured as a buckle, and the matching member 431 is configured as a slot, and the buckle protrudes outward from the surface of the injection structure 12. The slot is recessed inward from the outer surface of the receiving structure 49. The buckle and the slot are engaged together. Of course, the engaging member 122 can also be configured as a slot, and the matching member 431 can be configured as a buckle, which is not limited in this embodiment. In this way, the injection structure 12 can be kept connected to the box 40, preventing the injection structure 12 from being disengaged and preventing the injection structure 12 from being separated from the box 40.

[0439] Figures 1 to 7 The specific process of replenishing the developer 2 is shown. The details are as follows:

[0440] First, the first rack unit 1112 (the first rack unit 1112 is Fig.14 The adapter 10 with the unlocking structure 11 (shown in FIG. 1 ) is aligned with the receiving structure 49 of the box 40 and inserted. Then, the engaging member 122 and the matching member 431 (the matching member 431 is in FIG. 1 ) are connected to the receiving structure 49 of the box 40. Fig. 22 Align and press down.

[0441] When the sealing locking structure 42 of the box 40 is sealed to the receiving structure 41, the first port 4222A, the second port 4242A and the vent 433A (the vent 433A is in Fig.23 As the developer container 1 is gradually pressed, the unlocking structure 11 releases the seal of the sealing locking structure 42 on the receiving structure 41. Fig.14 and Fig.28 As shown, the third meshing area E3 meshes with the first gear unit 4211. The fourth meshing area E4 meshes with the third gear unit 4231. At this time, the first port 4222A, the second port 4242A and the vent 433A of the box 40 are gradually switched from a sealed state to an open state.

[0442] The engaging member 122 of the developer container 1 is buckled into the matching member 431 of the receiving structure 41, and the first opening 4222A, the second opening 4242A and the vent 433A of the box 40 are fully opened, so that the developer 2 can be replenished smoothly.

[0443] When the developer 2 is in a level position with the other end of the second passage unit 4112, the developer 2 is fully replenished, and the developer container 1 stops replenishing.

[0444] After the developer 2 is filled, the developer container 1 is pulled out. The third meshing area E3 drives the first gear unit 4211 to rotate, and the second rack unit 4221 moves toward the inside of the cartridge 40. The fourth meshing area E4 drives the third gear unit 4231 to rotate, and the third rack unit 4241 moves toward the inside of the cartridge 40. The communication port member 451 (the communication port member 451 is Fig. 22 The cartridge 40 can supply the developer 2 to the image forming apparatus.

[0445] Pull out the developer container 1.

[0446] The present disclosure also provides an image forming apparatus, which includes at least one cartridge 40 as described above.

[0447] According to the image forming device of the present disclosure, the image forming device comprises at least one of the above-mentioned boxes 40, the boxes 40 comprises a receiving structure 41 and a sealing and locking structure 42, and the receiving structure 41 is open to the outside of the boxes 40. Figure 1As shown, the receiving structure 41 is used to receive and connect the developer container 1. The developer container 1 includes an adapter 10, and the adapter 10 includes an unlocking structure 11, which extends into the receiving structure 41 along the first direction Z. The sealing locking structure 42 is used to seal the receiving structure 41. The sealing locking structure 42 cooperates with the unlocking structure 11 of the adapter 10 and is unlocked to release the sealing of the receiving structure 41 by the sealing locking structure 42.

[0448] The sealing and locking structure 42 can seal and lock the receiving structure 41 of the box 40, which can prevent the developer container 1 from leaking ink and contaminating the channel caused by the ink leakage during the installation process of the developer container 1 to the box 40. When the sealing and locking structure 42 seals the receiving structure 41, the developer 2 cannot enter the box 40 through the receiving structure 41. When the sealing and locking structure 42 releases the seal, the developer 2 can enter the box 40 through the receiving structure 41. In this way, safety and stability are guaranteed.

[0449] The developer container 1 is the aforementioned developer container 1, which will not be described in detail below. The adapter 10 is the aforementioned adapter 10, which will not be described in detail below. The unlocking structure 11 is the aforementioned unlocking structure 11, which will not be described in detail below. The injection structure 12 is the aforementioned injection structure 12, which will not be described in detail below. The box 40 is the aforementioned box 40, which will not be described in detail below.

[0450] The cartridge 40 can supply the developer to the image forming device. The cartridge 40 supplies the developer to the image forming device through the connection hole. In particular, the cartridge 40 can supply the developer to the image forming device.
