[0024] The used developer is poured into the collecting box 1 through the liquid inlet 2, and the developer is stirred by the stirring component 5 in the collecting box 1 to facilitate the subsequent filtration of the developer. The stirred developer passes through the filtering component 6 and is filtered by the filtering chamber 61 to remove impurities in the developer. The filtering chamber 61 is driven by the driving component to vibrate back and forth, thereby preventing the filtering chamber 61 from being blocked and affecting the filtering effect.

[0025] See also Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the driving component includes a left connecting rod 62, a contact head 63, a fixing seat 64, a curved block 65, a second motor 66, a right connecting rod 67, a first limit block 68 and a first spring 69; the left connecting rod 62 is installed on one side of the filter bin 61; the contact head 63 is installed on the other end of the left connecting rod 62; the fixing seat 64 is installed on one side of the collection box 1; the second motor 66 is installed on the fixing seat 64; the curved block 65 is rotatably connected to the fixing seat 64 through a rotating shaft, and the rotating shaft is connected to the output end of the second motor 66; the right connecting rod 67 is installed on the other side of the filter bin 61, and one end of the right connecting rod 67 passes through the side wall of the collection box 1 and extends outward; the first limit block 68 is installed on the extended end of the right connecting rod 67; the first spring 69 is sleeved on the right connecting rod 67, one end of the first spring 69 abuts against the side wall of the filter bin 61, and the other end of the first spring 69 abuts against the inner wall of the collection box 1.

[0026] When filtering the developer through the filter chamber 61, the second motor 66 is started to drive the curved block 65 to rotate, and the rotation of the curved block 65 touches the contact head 63, and the contact head 63 drives the left connecting rod 62 to move, and the left connecting rod 62 drives the filter chamber 61 to move to the other side, and when the filter chamber 61 moves to the other side, it drives the right connecting rod 67 to move and squeezes the first spring 69 on the right connecting rod 67. When the curved block 65 rotates to the side with a larger area, the first spring 69 restores its elastic deformation and drives the right connecting rod 67, and is limited by the first limit block 68, and then the filter chamber 61 is driven by the right connecting rod 67 to move, thereby achieving the left and right reciprocating movement of the filter chamber 61, preventing impurities in the developer from clogging the filter chamber 61 and affecting the filtering effect.

[0027] See also Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, a reinforcing support plate is installed below the fixing seat 64 .

[0030] When the filter bin 61 is driven by the driving mechanism to vibrate back and forth left and right, the connecting plate 610 under the filter bin 61 moves left and right on the auxiliary rod 611, and squeezes the second spring 613 sleeved on the auxiliary rod 611, and the connecting plate 610 is limited by the second limit block 612 on one side of the auxiliary rod 611, thereby improving the stability of the filter bin 61 in left and right movement.

[0031] See also Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the stirring assembly 5 includes a first motor 51 , a stirring shaft 52 and a stirring rod 53 ; the first motor 51 is installed at the top center of the collecting box 1 ; the stirring shaft 52 is installed at the output end of the first motor 51 ; and the stirring rod 53 is arranged outside the stirring shaft 52 .

[0032] When pouring the developer into the collecting box 1 from the liquid inlet 2, the first motor 51 is first started, the first motor 51 drives the stirring shaft 52 to rotate, and then the stirring shaft 52 drives the stirring rod 53 to stir the developer first, thereby improving the filtration efficiency and facilitating subsequent filtration.

[0034] After being used for a period of time, the impurities filtered out by the filter bin 61 will remain in the filter bin 61. By pushing the push handle 617, the push handle 617 drives the push rod 616 to move, and the push rod 616 drives the push block 615 to move along the bottom of the filter bin 61. The push block 615 is set with an inclined surface to push the impurities from the rectangular opening into the waste box 614, thereby collecting the impurities and preventing the filtered impurities from accumulating in the filter bin 61 and affecting the circulation of the developer.

[0035] See also Figure 5 As shown, limit sliders are provided on both sides of the push block 615, and limit sliding grooves for the limit sliders to limit movement are provided on the side walls of the collection box 1.
