Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of carbon powder adding tools, and in particular relates to a rapid carbon powder replacement device. Background Art
[0002] In office equipment such as printers and copiers, toner cartridges are one of the key consumables, which are filled with toner for printing. As the toner is gradually consumed, it is necessary to replace the toner regularly to ensure the printing quality. However, there are many inconveniences and problems with traditional toner replacement methods. First, the traditional replacement method usually involves manually opening the toner cartridge and directly adding new toner to it. This method is not only cumbersome to operate, but also easy to cause toner to spill, leading to pollution of the equipment and operating environment. Secondly, due to the insufficient sealing of the feeding port, toner can easily leak from the interface during the filling process, further increasing the difficulty and complexity of cleaning.
[0003] In response to the above problems, some improvement plans have been proposed in the market, such as using a special feeding device to quickly fill the toner, but these plans often fail to effectively solve the fundamental problems of poor sealing of the feeding port and complicated operation. For example, the sealing device used in some plans is not designed reasonably and cannot completely fit the feeding port of different types of toner cartridges, which still easily causes toner leakage during operation. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of the utility model is to provide a quick toner replacement device, which can achieve clean and efficient toner replenishment and provide a good sealing effect to prevent toner from spilling or leaking.
[0005] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solutions:
[0006] A quick toner changer comprises a storage tank, wherein the storage tank is in the shape of a cavity with an opening at the top, and a discharge pipe is fixedly connected to the bottom of the storage tank, and a sealing plug is sleeved on the discharge pipe;
[0007] The top open end of the storage tank is connected to a tank cover, and a feeding mechanism is rotatably connected to the tank cover. The feeding mechanism includes a positioning shaft, a spiral blade is connected to the bottom outer side of the positioning shaft, and a cross bar is fixedly connected to the upper outer side of the positioning shaft, and one end of the cross bar is fixedly connected to a hanging plate.
[0008] Furthermore, the hanging plate is in contact with the inner wall of the storage tank.
[0009] Furthermore, the spiral blade extends into the discharge pipe.
[0010] Furthermore, a transverse plate is fixedly connected to the top of the positioning shaft, and a rotating handle is rotatably connected to the top of one end of the transverse plate.
[0011] Furthermore, a second through hole is formed through the center of the top of the tank cover, and the positioning shaft extends into the second through hole.
[0012] Furthermore, a feeding port is provided through the top of the tank cover, a sealing cover is rotatably connected to the feeding port, and a holding head is fixedly connected to the side surface of one end of the sealing cover.
[0013] Furthermore, the shape of the sealing plug is set to be an inverted truncated cone, and a first through hole is opened through the center of the sealing plug.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:
[0015] First, the quick toner changer effectively solves the problem of toner spilling and leakage during the traditional toner filling process through the top opening design of the storage tank and the optimized sealing plug. The inverted frustum-shaped sealing plug provides good sealing performance and can adapt to different types of toner cartridges, thereby reducing environmental pollution and additional cleaning work, ensuring a clean and efficient toner filling process.
[0016] Secondly, by introducing the spiral blades of the rotating handle and the positioning shaft and the hanging plate, the utility model realizes the uniform and continuous conveying of the carbon powder in the storage tank. The coordinated use of the positioning shaft and the spiral blade not only simplifies the operation process, but also effectively scrapes off the carbon powder residue on the inner wall of the storage tank through the coordinated work of the crossbar and the hanging plate, reducing waste. This design improves the uneven filling and resource waste problems that are easily caused by traditional manual addition of carbon powder, and improves the efficiency of carbon powder use.
[0017] Finally, the design of the sealing cover and the pinch head provides a convenient operation method, allowing users to quickly and safely open or close the feeding port. This user-friendly design reduces the complexity of operation and improves the availability and maintenance convenience of the equipment. Through the effective sealing design, it is further ensured that there is no leakage of carbon powder during the feeding process, which improves the cleanliness and safety of the overall operation.

[0028] In order to make the purpose and advantages of the utility model more clear, the utility model is specifically described in combination with the following embodiments. It should be understood that the following text is only used to describe one or several specific implementations of the utility model, and does not strictly limit the protection scope of the specific request of the utility model.
[0029] See also Figure 1-4 A quick toner changer includes a storage tank 1, the storage tank 1 is shaped as a cavity with an opening at the top, and a discharge pipe 11 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the storage tank 1, and a sealing plug 2 is sleeved on the discharge pipe 11; the storage tank 1 is designed to be easy to fill with toner and can be quickly cleaned to deal with common problems in toner replenishment, such as avoiding toner spilling or leaking during the filling process. The sealing plug 2 is an inverted truncated cone design, which can not only effectively seal the feeding port of the toner cartridge, but also adapt to different models of toner cartridges through its inverted truncated cone structure, thereby enhancing versatility and practicality.
[0030] The top open end of the storage tank 1 is connected to a tank cover 3, to which a feeding mechanism 4 is rotatably connected, the feeding mechanism 4 comprising a positioning shaft 41, a spiral blade 42 being connected to the bottom outer side of the positioning shaft 41, and a cross bar 411 being fixedly connected to the upper outer side of the positioning shaft 41, and a hanging plate 43 being fixedly connected to one end of the cross bar 411; the feeding mechanism 4 realizes efficient and uniform carbon powder transportation through the design of the positioning shaft 41 and the spiral blade 42, and the hanging plate 43 ensures that the carbon powder on the inner wall of the storage tank 1 is effectively scraped off, thereby minimizing carbon powder waste and keeping the storage tank 1 clean.
[0031] See also Figure 4The hanging plate 43 is in close contact with the inner wall of the storage tank 1; the design of the hanging plate 43 takes into account the close contact with the inner wall of the storage tank 1. The reciprocating movement of the hanging plate 43 can effectively clean the toner adhering to the inner wall of the storage tank 1, ensuring that fresh and clean toner enters the toner cartridge each time it is filled, thereby avoiding the influence of old toner on the printing quality.
[0032] See also Figure 2-4 , the spiral blade 42 extends into the discharge pipe 11; the configuration of the spiral blade 42 ensures the continuity and stability of the toner transfer process from the storage tank 1 to the toner cartridge. Through precise design, the spiral blade 42 promotes the uniform flow of toner and reduces the blockage and scattering of toner during the transportation process.
[0033] See also Figure 4 A horizontal plate 44 is fixedly connected to the top of the positioning shaft 41, and a rotating handle 441 is rotatably connected to the top of one end of the horizontal plate 44; the design of the rotating handle 441 is convenient for the operator to control the filling of carbon powder through a simple rotating action. The user can rotate the rotating handle 441, through the coordinated work of the positioning shaft 41 and the spiral blade 42, to achieve accurate and uniform delivery of carbon powder.
[0034] See also Figure 3-4 A second through hole 31 is formed at the top center of the tank cover 3, and the positioning shaft 41 extends into the second through hole 31; the second through hole 31 provides necessary support and guidance for the positioning shaft 41, ensuring the stability of the positioning shaft 41 during rotation, thereby ensuring the smooth operation of the feeding mechanism 4.
[0035] See also Figure 3 A feeding port 32 is formed through the top of the tank cover 3, and a sealing cover 33 is rotatably connected to the feeding port 32. A pinching head 331 is fixedly connected to the side of one end of the sealing cover 33. The design of the sealing cover 33 and the pinching head 331 provides a convenient opening and closing operation for the user, ensuring that the feeding port 32 can be opened or closed quickly and safely during the feeding process, and the sealing performance of the sealing cover 33 further prevents leakage of carbon powder during the filling process.
[0036] See also Figure 2 The shape of the sealing plug 2 is set to be an inverted truncated cone, and a first through hole 21 is opened through the center of the sealing plug 2; the first through hole 21 not only provides a channel for the circulation of carbon powder, but also maintains the sealing effect of the sealing plug 2 during the carbon powder transportation process, avoiding any leakage of carbon powder during the filling process, and ensuring the cleanliness and efficiency of the filling operation.
[0037] The working principle of the utility model is:
[0038] When the toner in the toner cartridge needs to be replaced, the sealing cover of the upper material bin of the toner cartridge is first opened and the toner cartridge is fixed, and then the toner is added into the storage tank 1 through the feeding port 32, and then the storage tank 1 is held with one hand, and the discharge pipe 11 is extended into the feeding port on the toner cartridge. Since a sealing plug 2 is sleeved on the discharge pipe 11, and the shape of the sealing plug 2 is set to be an inverted truncated cone, the feeding port on the toner cartridge can be sealed by the sealing plug 2 to prevent the toner from spilling onto the surface of the toner cartridge during the process of filling the toner;
[0039] When adding toner, hold the handle 441 with your hand and rotate it around the central axis of the positioning shaft 41. The rotation of the positioning shaft 41 drives the spiral blade 42 to rotate synchronously. The rotation of the spiral blade 42 will transport the toner stored in the storage tank 1 to the toner cartridge through the discharge pipe 11. At the same time, during the rotation of the positioning shaft 41, the hanging plate 43 will scrape off the toner adsorbed on the inner wall of the storage tank 1, thereby reducing the toner residue on the inner wall of the storage tank 1.
[0040] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that, for ordinary technicians in the technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention. The structures, devices and operating methods not specifically described and explained in the present invention shall be implemented according to the conventional means in the field unless otherwise specified and limited.
