[0063] In order to better understand the technical solution of the present application, the embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0064] It should be clear that the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in the field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0065] The terms used in the embodiments of the present application are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments, and are not intended to limit the present application. The singular forms "a", "said" and "the" used in the embodiments of the present application and the appended claims are also intended to include plural forms, unless the context clearly indicates other meanings.

[0066] It should be understood that the term "and / or" used in this article is only a description of the association relationship of associated objects, indicating that there can be three relationships. For example, A and / or B can represent: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone. In addition, the character " / " in this article generally indicates that the associated objects before and after are in an "or" relationship.

[0067] It should be noted that the directional words such as "upper", "lower", "left", and "right" described in the embodiments of the present application are described at the angles shown in the accompanying drawings and should not be understood as limiting the embodiments of the present application. In addition, in the context, it is also necessary to understand that when it is mentioned that an element is connected to another element "upper" or "lower", it can not only be directly connected to another element "upper" or "lower", but also indirectly connected to another element "upper" or "lower" through an intermediate element.

[0068] The present application provides a processing box for installation in an electronic imaging device. Figure 2 As shown, the process box includes: a frame 10, a rotating component (not shown in the figure), a driving unit (not shown in the figure), a storage element 20 and a mounting unit 30. Among them, the frame 10 can rotatably support the rotating component, the frame 10 includes a developing frame and a photosensitive frame, and the rotating component includes a photosensitive drum, a developing roller, a stirring frame, etc.

[0069] In order to better explain the processing box, a coordinate system is established, and the axial direction of the photosensitive drum is defined as the X-axis direction, the direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the photosensitive drum is defined as the Y-axis direction, and the direction perpendicular to the X-axis and Y-axis directions is defined as the Z-axis direction. Among them, the Y-direction can be specifically the width direction of the frame 10, and the Z-direction can be specifically the height direction of the frame 10. The plane formed by the X-axis and the Y-axis is the XY plane, the plane formed by the Y-axis and the Z-axis is the YZ plane, and the plane formed by the X-axis and the Z-axis is the XZ plane.

[0070] Specifically, the developing frame forms a powder bin for storing toner, and the developing frame is roughly in the shape of a long box. The developing frame has end surfaces at both ends of its length direction, and the developing roller and the stirring frame are rotatably supported at both ends of the developing frame in the length direction. The developing roller and the stirring frame can rotate under the action of the driving unit, and the axial directions of the stirring frame and the developing roller are parallel to the length direction of the developing frame.

[0071] The photosensitive frame forms a waste toner bin for collecting waste toner. The photosensitive frame also has a length direction, which is consistent with the length direction of the developing frame. The photosensitive drum is rotatably supported at both ends of the photosensitive frame in the length direction, and the axial direction of the photosensitive drum is parallel to the length direction of the photosensitive frame.

[0072] The driving unit is located outside the end surface of the frame 10 along the length direction, and can be specifically arranged outside one or two end surfaces of the developing frame in the length direction, or outside one or two end surfaces of the photosensitive frame in the length direction. The driving unit is used to receive and transmit the driving force of the electronic imaging device to make the processing box work. The driving unit can include a power receiving member and a gear set, so as to receive and transmit the driving force of the electronic imaging device, and drive the photosensitive drum, the developing roller, the stirring frame, etc. to rotate.

[0073] The storage element 20 may be a chip for storing information related to the process cartridge, such as: toner color, authentication code, serial number, remaining toner amount, page yield (maximum number of printable pages), number of printed pages, manufacturer, production date, etc. The storage element 20 has an electrical contact portion 21. When the process cartridge is installed in an electronic imaging device, the electrical contact portion 21 is electrically connected to the electronic imaging device, thereby establishing communication between the storage element 20 and the electronic imaging device. The electrical contact portion 21 may be a conductive terminal, which is disposed on the surface of the storage element 20 facing away from the frame 10. The number of the conductive terminals may be two, and the two conductive terminals are arranged along the axial direction of the photosensitive drum.

[0074] The mounting unit 30 is used to mount and fix the storage element 20 . The mounting unit 30 may be a chip holder. The mounting unit 30 may be detachably connected to the photosensitive frame.

[0075] More specifically, the photosensitive frame has a mounting groove, the mounting unit 30 is detachably mounted in the mounting groove, and the mounting unit 30 is positioned by the mounting groove in the axial direction of the rotating component and / or in a direction intersecting the axial direction.

[0076] The mounting unit 30 is detachably mounted in the mounting groove, and the mounting groove limits the movement of the mounting unit 30 in the axial direction and / or limits the movement of the mounting unit 30 in a direction intersecting the axial direction, so that the mounting unit 30 is reliably fixed on the frame 10, and the position of the mounting unit 30 relative to the frame 10 is determined. Then, when the processing box is installed in the electronic imaging device, the electronic imaging device can quickly find the storage element 20 and establish communication between the storage element 20 and the electronic imaging device.

[0077] Furthermore, the frame 10 has a bottom wall 11, a first side wall 12, a second side wall 13 and a third side wall 14, and the bottom wall 11, the first side wall 12, the second side wall 13 and the third side wall 14 together form a mounting groove. The bottom wall 11 is parallel to the XY plane, the first side wall 12 and the second side wall 13 extend along the X-axis direction and are arranged opposite to each other in the Y-axis direction, the third side wall 14 extends along the Y-axis direction, and both ends of the third side wall 14 are respectively connected to one end of the first side wall 12 and the second side wall 13 in the X-axis direction.

[0078] The mounting unit 30 includes: a main body 31 and a bearing part 32. The main body 31 is abutted and positioned with the bottom wall 11 and / or at least one of the first side wall 12, the second side wall 13, and the third side wall 14, so that the mounting unit 30 is mounted on the frame 10 with high mounting accuracy. The bearing part 32 is located on a side of the main body 31 away from the frame 10. A slot is provided on the bearing part 32. The slot has an opening. The storage element 20 can be inserted into the slot along the X-axis direction through the opening. Therefore, the electrical contact part 21 is exposed while the bearing part 32 carries the storage element 20, so that the electrical contact part 21 is electrically connected to the electronic imaging device.

[0079] Positioning ribs 34 extending along the Y-axis direction are disposed on both sides of the bearing portion 32 , and the two positioning ribs 34 are located on the same straight line. One end of the positioning rib 34 is connected to the bearing portion, and the other end has no contact portion with the first side wall 12 or the second side wall 13 .

[0080] When the processing box is installed into the electronic imaging device, the two pairs of positioning claws on the chip sensing device of the electronic imaging device can be respectively engaged with the two positioning ribs 34, thereby positioning the storage element 20 and enabling the chip sensing device to be accurately electrically connected to the storage element 20.

[0081] During assembly, the storage element 20 may be first mounted on the bearing portion 32 , and then the mounting unit 30 mounted with the storage element 20 may be mounted to the mounting groove.

[0082] Furthermore, if Figure 5As shown, in order to improve the strength of the installation groove, a first reinforcing rib 15 and a second reinforcing rib 16 are arranged at intervals on one side of the bottom wall 11 away from the installation groove, and the first reinforcing rib 15 and the second reinforcing rib 16 extend along the Y-axis direction.

[0083] In addition, the processing box in this embodiment can be a newly manufactured processing box, or it can be a processing box that is remanufactured from a recycled original processing box.

[0084] Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the structure of an original processing box. Figure 1 As shown, the original processing box also has a frame 10, a mounting unit and a storage element. Since the storage element has a high recycling value, users often remove the storage element before discarding the original processing box. In the process of removing the storage element, the original mounting unit is generally damaged. Therefore, when recycling the original processing box, the original mounting unit needs to be completely or partially removed.

[0085] Specifically, the mounting unit of the original processing box and the frame 10 can be integrally formed, or can be manufactured separately, and then the mounting unit is mounted on the frame 10 by bonding, welding or hot melting.

[0086] More specifically, the method of completely or partially removing the original installation unit is generally cutting, milling, etc.

[0087] Regarding the specific connection method between the mounting unit 30 and the mounting slot, the present application provides the following multiple embodiments.

[0088] Embodiment 1

[0089] In this embodiment, if Figure 2 As shown, the main body 31 abuts against the first side wall 12 , the second side wall 13 and the third side wall 14 respectively, so that the mounting unit 30 is positioned by the mounting groove.

[0090] Specifically, the main body 31 abuts against the third side wall 14 , thereby limiting the movement of the installation unit 30 along the X-axis direction and positioning the installation unit 30 .

[0091] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the first side wall 12 is inclined relative to the bottom wall 11, and the main body 31 has a first side surface 311 with the same slope as the first side wall 12. The first side surface 311 abuts against the first side wall 12, thereby limiting the movement of the installation unit 30 along the Y-axis and Z-axis directions, and further positioning the installation unit 30.

[0092] The slope of the first side wall 12 refers to the angle between the first side wall 12 and the bottom wall 11 , and the slope of the first side surface 311 refers to the angle between the first side surface 311 and the surface where the main body 31 contacts the bottom wall 11 .

[0093] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the second side wall 13 is inclined relative to the bottom wall 11, and the main body 31 has a second side surface 312 with the same slope as the second side wall 13. The second side surface 312 abuts against the second side wall 13, thereby limiting the movement of the installation unit 30 along the Y-axis direction, thereby positioning the installation unit 30.

[0094] The slope of the second side wall 13 refers to the angle between the second side wall 13 and the bottom wall 11 , and the slope of the second side surface 312 refers to the angle between the second side surface 312 and the surface where the main body 31 contacts the bottom wall 11 .

[0095] It can be understood that the slope of the first side wall 12 can be 90°, that is, the first side wall 12 is perpendicular to the bottom wall 11 , and the slope of the second side wall 13 can also be 90°, that is, the second side wall 13 is perpendicular to the bottom wall 11 .

[0096] Preferably, at least one of the slope of the first side wall 12 and the slope of the second side wall 13 is not 90°.

[0097] Preferably, the first side wall 12 and the second side wall 13 are arranged in parallel.

[0098] Furthermore, along the X-axis direction, the first side surface 311 is located on both sides of the positioning rib 34 , so that the contact area between the first side surface 311 and the first side wall 12 is larger and the positioning effect is better.

[0099] Furthermore, if Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, there is a notch on the second side wall 13. Along the Y-axis direction, part of the main body 31 and part of the positioning rib protrude relative to the second side surface 312, and the protruding part can extend into the notch to improve the matching degree between the mounting unit 30 and the mounting groove, and improve the positioning effect of the mounting groove on the mounting unit 30.

[0100] When the processing box in this embodiment is remanufactured from a recycled original processing box, the mounting unit needs to be completely removed from the frame 10, and even a portion of the first side wall 12 and the second side wall 13 are removed together, forming a gap.

[0101] In a specific embodiment, the mounting unit 30 has a clamping portion 33, which is clamped with the frame 10, and the two cooperate with each other to limit the movement of the mounting unit 30 along the Z-axis direction, thereby further positioning the mounting unit 30 and improving the installation accuracy of the mounting unit 30.

[0102] Specifically, Figure 4As shown, the clamping portion 33 includes an extension portion 331 and a hook portion 332, one end of the extension portion 331 is connected to the main body 31, and the other end is connected to the hook portion 332, so as to limit the movement of the mounting unit 30 relative to the frame 10. It can be understood that the extension portion 331 and the hook portion 332 have a certain elasticity, so as to facilitate the clamping of the clamping portion 33 and the frame 10.

[0103] Optional, such as Figure 5 As shown, a hole portion 18 is provided on the bottom wall 11, and the hole portion 18 is located between the first reinforcing rib 15 and the second reinforcing rib 16 and close to the second reinforcing rib 16. When the main body 31 is installed in the installation groove, the extension portion 331 can pass through the hole portion 18, so that the hook portion 332 is hooked on the second reinforcing rib 16.

[0104] Optional, such as Figure 6 As shown, the hole portion 18 is located between the second reinforcing rib 16 and the third side wall 14 and close to the second reinforcing rib 16. When the main body 31 is installed in the installation groove, the extension portion 331 can pass through the hole portion 18, so that the hook portion 332 is hooked on the second reinforcing rib 16.

[0105] Optionally, the hole 18 is located between the first reinforcing rib 15 and the second reinforcing rib 16 and is close to the first reinforcing rib 15. When the main body 31 is installed in the installation groove, the extension 331 can pass through the hole 18 so that the hook 332 is hooked on the first reinforcing rib 15.

[0106] Optionally, the hole portion 18 is located on a side of the first reinforcing rib 15 away from the second reinforcing rib 16 . When the main body 31 is installed in the installation slot, the extension portion 331 can pass through the hole portion 18 , so that the hook portion 332 is hooked on the first reinforcing rib 15 .

[0107] Optional, such as Figure 7 As shown, the hole 18 is located between the second reinforcing rib 16 and the third side wall 14 and close to the third side wall 14. When the main body 31 is installed in the installation groove, the extension 331 can pass through the hole 18, so that the hook 332 is hooked on the third side wall 14.

[0108] Optional, such as Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, the bottom wall 11 is not provided with a hole 18, and a groove is provided on the third side wall 14. When the main body 31 is installed in the installation groove, the extension portion 331 can cooperate with the groove on the third side wall 14, so that the extension portion 331 extends from the side of the third side wall 14 away from the storage element 20 to the bottom of the bottom wall 11, and then the hook portion 332 can be hooked on the third side wall 14, and the installation unit 30 is positioned in the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction.

[0109] Specifically, the extension portion 331 is an inverted U-shaped structure, one end of the extension portion 331 is connected to the surface of the main body portion 31 away from the bottom wall 11, the inverted U-shaped structure spans the third side wall 14 from the upper end of the third side wall 14, and the two arms of the inverted U-shaped structure are attached to both sides of the third side wall 14 in the X-axis direction.

[0110] Optional, such as Fig.10 As shown, the clamping portion 33 has two hooks 332. When the main body 31 is installed in the installation groove, the two hooks 332 are clamped on the first reinforcing rib 15 and the second reinforcing rib 16 respectively, and the hole 18 is located between the first reinforcing rib 15 and the second reinforcing rib 16.

[0111] Optionally, the clamping portion 33 has two hooks 332. When the main body 31 is installed in the installation slot, the two hooks 332 are clamped on the second reinforcing rib 16 and the third side wall 14 respectively, and the hole 18 is located between the second reinforcing rib 16 and the third side wall 14.

[0112] Optionally, the clamping portion 33 has two hooks 332. When the main body 31 is installed in the installation slot, the two hooks 332 are respectively clamped on the first reinforcing rib 15 and the third side wall 14, and at this time, there are also two holes 18, which are respectively located between the first reinforcing rib 15 and the second reinforcing rib 16, and between the second reinforcing rib 16 and the third side wall 14.

[0113] Optional, such as Fig.11 and Fig.12 As shown, the clamping portion 33 has a plurality of hooks 332 , and the plurality of hooks 332 are arranged along the circumference of the clamping portion 33 . At this time, the plurality of hooks 332 are directly hooked on the bottom wall 11 .

[0114] In another specific embodiment, Fig.13 As shown, the mounting unit 30 is not provided with the clamping portion 33, the bottom wall 11 is not provided with the hole portion 18, and the main body 31 is connected to the bottom wall 11 by bonding or welding, such as ultrasonic welding.

[0115] Furthermore, a welding flange 314 is provided on the surface of the main body 31 that contacts the bottom wall 11 , so as to improve the welding effect between the main body 31 and the bottom wall 11 .

[0116] In this embodiment, the main body 31 is respectively in contact with the first side wall 12, the second side wall 13 and the third side wall 14, and the protrusion is clamped in the notch, so that the installation unit 30 is positioned by the installation groove. At the same time, the installation unit 30 is clamped to the frame 10 through the clamping portion 33, or is connected to the frame 10 by bonding or welding, which further improves the positioning effect of the installation groove on the installation unit 30.

[0117] Embodiment 2

[0118] In this embodiment, if Fig.14 and Fig.15 As shown, the main body 31 abuts against the first side wall 12 and the third side wall 14 respectively; the bottom wall 11 has a limiting portion 19, and the main body 31 has a positioning groove 313, which cooperates with the limiting portion 19, so that the installation unit 30 is positioned by the installation groove.

[0119] Specifically, the main body 31 abuts against the third side wall 14 , thereby limiting the movement of the installation unit 30 along the X-axis direction and positioning the installation unit 30 .

[0120] The first side wall 12 is inclined relative to the bottom wall 11, and the main body 31 has a first side surface 311 with the same slope as the first side wall 12. The first side surface 311 abuts against the first side wall 12, thereby limiting the movement of the installation unit 30 along the Y-axis and Z-axis directions, and further positioning the installation unit 30.

[0121] The slope of the first side wall 12 refers to the angle between the first side wall 12 and the bottom wall 11, and the slope of the first side surface 311 refers to the angle between the first side surface 311 and the surface where the main body 31 contacts the bottom wall 11. It can be understood that the slope of the first side wall 12 can be 90°, that is, the first side wall 12 is perpendicular to the bottom wall 11.

[0122] like Fig.14 As shown, the limiting portion 19 extends in a direction perpendicular to the bottom wall 11 . Along the X-axis direction, the limiting portion 19 is arranged away from the third side wall 14 . Along the Y-axis direction, the limiting portion 19 is close to the second side wall 13 and connected to the second side wall 13 .

[0123] When the mounting unit 30 is installed in the mounting groove, the limiting portion 19 extends into the positioning groove 313 , and the two cooperate with each other to limit the movement of the mounting unit 30 along the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction.

[0124] In addition, an avoidance groove is provided on the main body 31 at a position close to the positioning groove 313 , so that the main body 31 can be slightly deformed, ensuring that the limiting portion 19 can smoothly extend into the positioning groove 313 .

[0125] Further, such as Fig.14 As shown, there is a remaining rib 17 in the installation groove, which is located on the first side wall 12 and the second side wall 13 and protrudes toward the inside of the installation groove along the Y-axis direction, and the two remaining ribs are arranged opposite to each other along the Y-axis direction.

[0126] When the mounting unit 30 is installed in the mounting groove, the positioning rib 34 is opposite to the remaining rib 17 with a gap therebetween, that is, the positioning rib 34 has no contact with the remaining rib 17, and the mounting unit 30 as a whole has no contact with the remaining rib 17, so that the remaining rib 17 will not affect the installation of the mounting unit 30.

[0127] When the processing box in this embodiment is remanufactured from a recycled original processing box, it is necessary to partially remove the mounting unit from the frame 10 , and the portion of the original mounting unit of the original processing box remaining on the frame 10 is the remaining rib 17 and the limiting portion 19 .

[0128] In a specific embodiment, the mounting unit 30 has a clamping portion 33, which is clamped with the frame 10, and the two cooperate with each other to limit the movement of the mounting unit 30 along the Z-axis direction, thereby further positioning the mounting unit 30 and improving the installation accuracy of the mounting unit 30. The structure of the clamping portion 33 is the same as that in the first embodiment, so it is not repeated here.

[0129] In another specific embodiment, the main body 31 and the bottom wall 11 are connected by bonding or welding.

[0130] In this embodiment, the main body 31 is respectively in contact with the first side wall 12 and the third side wall 14, and the positioning groove 313 cooperates with the limiting portion 19, so that the mounting unit 30 is positioned by the mounting groove. At the same time, the mounting unit 30 is clamped to the frame 10 through the clamping portion 33, or is connected to the frame 10 by bonding or welding, which further improves the positioning effect of the mounting groove on the mounting unit 30.

[0131] Embodiment 3

[0132] like Fig.16 As shown, this embodiment changes the scheme in the first embodiment, and the difference is that: there is a remaining rib 17 in the installation groove, the remaining rib 17 is located on the first side wall 12 and the second side wall 13, and protrudes toward the inside of the installation groove along the Y-axis direction, and the two remaining ribs are arranged opposite to each other along the Y-axis direction.

[0133] Along the X-axis direction, the first side surface 311 and the second side surface 312 are located on the side of the positioning rib 34 close to the third side wall 14, and along the Y-axis direction, the positioning rib 34 is located between the first side surface 311 and the second side surface 312, that is, the positioning rib 34 does not protrude from the first side surface 311 and the second side surface 312, thereby avoiding the remaining rib 17, so that the remaining rib 17 will not affect the installation of the mounting unit 30.

[0134] Specifically, when the mounting unit 30 is installed in the mounting groove, the positioning rib 34 is opposite to the remaining rib 17 with a gap therebetween, that is, the positioning rib 34 has no contact with the remaining rib 17 , and the mounting unit 30 as a whole has no contact with the remaining rib 17 .

[0135] When the process box in this embodiment is remanufactured from a recycled original process box, it is necessary to partially remove the mounting unit from the frame 10 , and the portion of the original mounting unit of the original process box remaining on the frame 10 is the remaining rib 17 .

[0136] The other structures of the processing box in this embodiment are the same as those in the first embodiment, so they are not described again.

[0137] Embodiment 4

[0138] like Fig.17 As shown, this embodiment changes the scheme in the first embodiment, and the difference is that: there is a remaining rib 17 in the installation groove, the remaining rib 17 is located on the first side wall 12 and the second side wall 13, and protrudes toward the inside of the installation groove along the Y-axis direction, and the two remaining ribs are arranged opposite to each other along the Y-axis direction.

[0139] An avoidance groove is provided on the main body 31 corresponding to the remaining rib 17 . When the mounting unit 30 is installed in the mounting groove, the remaining rib 17 extends into the avoidance groove and has no contact with the mounting unit 30 , so that the remaining rib 17 does not affect the installation of the mounting unit 30 .

[0140] Along the Y-axis direction, the positioning rib 34 is located between the first side surface 311 and the second side surface 312, that is, the positioning rib 34 does not protrude from the first side surface 311 and the second side surface 312, so that when the mounting unit 30 is installed in the mounting groove, the positioning rib 34 is opposite to the remaining rib 17 and there is a gap between the two, thereby avoiding the remaining rib 17 so that the remaining rib 17 will not affect the installation of the mounting unit 30.

[0141] The other structures of the processing box in this embodiment are the same as those in the first embodiment, so they are not described again.

[0142] It can be understood that the manner in which the mounting groove positions the mounting unit 30 in the present application is not limited to the above embodiments, as long as the mounting unit 30 is positioned by the mounting groove in the axial direction of the rotating component and / or in a direction intersecting the axial direction.

[0143] The present application also provides a method for manufacturing a process box, which is used to remanufacture an original process box into the process box provided by the present application. The manufacturing method comprises:

[0144] S1: Partially or completely remove the damaged original installation unit to form an installation groove.

[0145] In this step, when the processing box in Example 1 is to be manufactured, the original installation unit needs to be completely removed, and even a part of the first side wall 12 and the second side wall 13 are also removed together, that is, a gap for positioning the installation unit 30 is formed; when the processing box in Examples 2 to 4 is to be manufactured, the original installation unit can be completely or partially removed, and the limiting portion 19 is formed at the same time.

[0146] It is understandable that when the user removes the storage element 20 from the original processing box, the cutting of the original installation unit may be irregular, resulting in the original installation unit no longer being complete, that is, the original installation unit may be damaged. At this time, if the original processing box needs to be remanufactured, it is necessary to further cut the original processing box, that is, partially or completely remove the damaged original installation unit to form an installation groove.

[0147] S2: Install the detachable installation unit 30 in the installation slot.

[0148] In this step, the mounting groove fixes and positions the mounting unit 30 so that the positions of the mounting unit 30 and the storage element 20 are determined relative to the frame, which is convenient for the electronic imaging device to identify.

[0149] In the present application, the processing cartridges in Embodiments 1 to 4 are obtained by remanufacturing the original processing cartridge, so that the original processing cartridge can be recycled and reused, thereby saving resources, reducing costs, and protecting the environment.

[0150] In addition, since the original processing box whose original installation unit is damaged is difficult to be recycled and reused, the solution in the present application also solves this problem.

[0151] The above description is only the preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. For those skilled in the art, the present application may have various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
