[0024] Embodiment 1

[0025] As attached Figure 1 -Attached Figure 4 As shown, a sealing mechanism of a toner cartridge comprises a toner cartridge body 1, a nozzle 2 is provided at one end of the toner cartridge body 1 and a protective cover 3 is installed at the other end, a groove 4 is provided at the end where the toner cartridge body 1 and the protective cover 3 are connected, a material guide port 5 is provided at the bottom of the groove 4, a threaded shaft 9 is rotated and passed through the middle of one side of the protective cover 3 close to the toner cartridge body 1, a sleeve 10 is threadedly installed on the outer side of the threaded shaft 9, and a sealing plug 13 matching the material guide port 5 is installed on the outer side of the sleeve 10;

[0026] The groove 4 is provided with side grooves 6 on opposite sides, and limit rods 7 are installed at the bottom of the groove 4 and inside the two groups of side grooves 6. The sleeve 10 is provided with positioning frames 11 on opposite sides, and the positioning frames 11 are provided with guide holes 12 for the limit rods 7 to slide through. The protective cover 3 is provided with a mounting groove 8 on the side away from the toner cartridge body 1, and one end of the threaded shaft 9 passes through the mounting groove 8 and is installed with a hand wheel 14.

[0027] Through the above structure, the protective cover 3 is connected to the rear end of the toner cartridge body 1, the limiting rod 7 is inserted into the guide hole 12 on the positioning frame 11, the sleeve 10 is limited, the hand wheel 14 is turned to drive the threaded shaft 9 to rotate, and the sleeve 10 is driven by the threaded shaft 9 to move into the guide port 5, and the sealing plug 13 is plugged into the guide port 5. The situation of the sealing plug 13 entering the guide port 5 is determined according to the rotation resistance of the hand wheel 14. The specific structure is as follows:

[0028] Combined with Figure 2 As shown, the material guide port 5 is a truncated cone structure, and the radius of one end of the material guide port 5 close to the protective cover 3 is larger than the radius of the other end.

[0029] Through the above structure, the material guide port 5 is a truncated cone structure, so that the deeper the sealing plug 13 enters the material guide port 5, the tighter it is pressed against the inner wall of the material guide port 5. When the rotation resistance of the hand wheel 14 is large, the sealing performance is better.

[0030] Combined with Figure 2 and attached Figure 3As shown, two hand-tightening bolts 18 are respectively installed at two opposite corners of the protective cover 3, and two threaded holes 19 for inserting the hand-tightening bolts 18 are provided at two opposite corners of the end of the toner cartridge body 1.

[0031] Through the above structure, the second hand-tightening bolt 18 passes through the protective cover 3 and is installed inside the second threaded hole 19 , so that the protective cover 3 is fixedly installed to the rear end of the toner cartridge body 1 .

[0032] Embodiment 2

[0033] Based on Example 1, please refer to the attached Figure 4 A connecting block 15 is integrally formed on one side of the hand wheel 14, and a hand screw bolt 16 passes through the connecting block 15. A plurality of threaded holes 17 for inserting the hand screw bolt 16 are provided at the bottom of the mounting groove 8. The plurality of threaded holes 17 are arranged in a circle with the threaded shaft 9 as the axis. A rotating handle 20 is installed at an eccentric position on one side of the hand wheel 14 away from the threaded shaft 9.

[0034] Through the above structure of the second embodiment, it is more convenient to drive the hand wheel 14 to rotate by turning the handle 20. When the rotation resistance of the hand wheel 14 is large, the hand screw bolt 16 on the connecting block 15 can be moved to be aligned with the nearest set of threaded holes 17, and the hand screw bolt 16 can be rotated to pass through the threaded hole 17 to position the hand wheel 14 to prevent the threaded shaft 9 from rotating and affecting the sealing effect of the sealing plug 13 on the material guide port 5.
