Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a two-step grinding and pulverizing device for printer toner, belonging to the technical field of printer toner pulverizing equipment. Background Art

[0002] Carbon powder, also known as toner, is a powdered substance used in laser printers to form images on paper. Black toner is composed of binder resin, carbon black, charge control agent, external additives and other ingredients. Color toner also needs to add pigments of other colors.

[0003] Toner production equipment mainly refers to the micron-level crushing and classification of printer toner. At present, there are two methods for toner production: chemical synthesis and physical crushing. Among them, physical crushing is mainly carried out in China using an ultra-fine crushing and classification system. In the process of printer toner production, larger particles are often produced, which will affect the imaging effect when printing or copying. If the printer or copier uses this toner with particles for a period of time, it will affect the printing and copying efficiency of the equipment, cause waste, and even affect the service life of the equipment. Therefore, if the problem of large particles can be solved during toner production, the above problems can be avoided.

Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0027] The two-step grinding and pulverizing device for printer toner of this embodiment is as follows: Figure 1 to Figure 2 As shown, it includes a box body 1 with a grinding chamber 3 and a crushing chamber 9 inside, the grinding chamber 3 is located above the crushing chamber 9, a partition 20 is provided between the grinding chamber 3 and the crushing chamber 9, the partition 20 is inclined downward to form a conical lower hopper, a discharge port 7 is opened on the partition 20, a discharge valve 8 is provided on the discharge port 7, a feed port 201 is provided on the box body 1 at the upper part of the grinding chamber 3, and a feed bin 2 is provided outside the feed port 201.

[0028] A grinding hammer 6 and a downwardly inclined guide ramp 301 are provided in the grinding chamber 3, the highest point of the guide ramp 301 is connected to the side wall of the box body 1 and is lower than the feed port 201, a grinding cylinder 303 is provided on the guide ramp 301 below the grinding hammer 6, the top of the grinding cylinder 303 is flush with the lowest part of the guide ramp 301, a filter screen 302 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the grinding cylinder 301, and the filter screen 302 is spaced apart from the bottom surface of the grinding hammer 6, a grinding motor 4 is fixed on the box body 1, and a driving end 5 of the grinding motor 4 is connected to the grinding hammer 6 for driving the grinding hammer 6 to rotate; the bottom surface of the grinding hammer 6 is a convex-concave structure, and the top of the grinding hammer 6 is a conical or curved structure with a larger top and a smaller bottom. The grinding motor 4 drives the grinding hammer 6 to rotate, so that the grinding hammer 6 cooperates with the bottom surface of the grinding hammer 6 to rotate and grind the raw material. The raw material with a smaller particle size after grinding is filtered through the filter screen 302 and discharged from the discharge port. The grinding hammer 6 is used in conjunction with the filter screen 302, and the upper part of the grinding hammer 6 is arranged in an arc shape, so that the raw material falling on the upper part of the grinding hammer 6 can fall down, and the lower part of the grinding hammer 6 is designed with a concave and convex surface to increase the grinding friction.

[0029] The grinding chamber 3 is provided with a transmission shaft 15, the box body 4 is provided with a stirring motor 12 connected to the transmission shaft 15, the transmission shaft 15 is connected with a toggle shaft 1501, the toggle shaft 1501 is obliquely arranged on the transmission shaft 15, and each toggle shaft 1501 is evenly arranged on the transmission shaft 15. Each toggle shaft 1501 is provided with a toggle support shaft 1502.

[0030] An air intake pipe 17 is provided below the transmission shaft 15 in the pulverizing chamber 9. The air intake pipe 17 passes through the wall of the box 7. A discharge port 18 is provided at the bottom of the pulverizing chamber 9. A discharge valve 19 is installed on the discharge port 18. There are two transmission shafts 15 and two air intake pipes 17, respectively. The two transmission shafts 15 are symmetrically arranged, and the two air intake pipes 17 are symmetrically arranged. Each air intake pipe 17 is provided with a plurality of air guide pipes 16 at a position below the transmission shaft 15, and the opening of each air guide pipe 16 faces the toggle shaft 1501. The transmission shaft 15 is horizontally arranged, and the air intake pipe 17 is obliquely arranged upward. The air intake pipe 16 is vertically arranged on the air intake pipe 17, and the inner diameter of the air guide pipe 16 gradually decreases from bottom to top.

[0031] Adapter plates 13 are connected to both sides of the pulverizing chamber 9, and the output ends of the pulverizing motors 12 pass through the adapter plates, respectively. Each transmission shaft 15 is connected to the output end of each pulverizing motor 12, and the outer circumferential wall of each transmission shaft 15 is connected to a toggle shaft 1501, which expands toward the middle of the pulverizing chamber 9. The composition shape of the toggle shaft 1501 facilitates the transmission of gas to the middle of the pulverizing chamber 9, thereby producing a more suitable stirring and transmitting gas effect. Sealing pads 14 are fixedly connected to the positions of the transmission shafts 15 and the air guide tubes 16 on both sides of the inner wall of the pulverizing chamber 9, and each transmission shaft 15 passes through the corresponding sealing pad 14, and each air guide tube 16 passes through the corresponding sealing pad 14. The sealing pad 14 is made of rubber material, and the transmission shaft and the air guide tube 16 are supported by the sealing pad 14, thereby facilitating the positioning of the rotation part and the gas transmission part, and reducing gas leakage.

[0032] The inner wall of the air guide pipe 16 is contracted toward the middle of the pulverizing chamber 9. The shape of the inner wall of the air guide pipe 16 facilitates the transmission of gas and increases the pressure of the gas. The raw material is first ground in the grinding chamber 3 and then enters the pulverizing chamber 9 for gas pulverization. The high-pressure gas is introduced into the pulverizing chamber 9 through the air guide pipe 16, and two air flows produce convection transmission, thereby driving the mixing and collision of the toner. After the collision, the toner is crushed, and the transmission shaft is driven to rotate by the stirring motor 12, thereby stirring the raw material and generating partial turbulence. More turbulence drives the raw material to produce better impact and crushing effects in the pulverizing chamber 9, and multiple air flows are transmitted through the air guide pipe 16, which is conducive to the transmission of high-pressure gas, improves the mixing effect, and is beneficial to the processing of the raw material.

[0033] When in use, the carbon powder raw material enters the grinding chamber 3 through the feed bin 2 and the feed port 201. The guide inclined plate 301 in the grinding chamber 3 can allow the raw material to fall into the grinding chamber 3 from the feed port 201. The grinding motor 4 is used to drive the grinding hammer 6 to grind the raw material in the grinding chamber 3 into powder. The powdered raw material enters the crushing chamber 9 after being filtered by the filter screen 302. The high-pressure gas is passed into the crushing chamber 9 through the air intake pipe 17, thereby driving the carbon powder raw material to mix and collide. After the carbon powder raw material collides, the carbon powder is crushed. The stirring motor 12 is started, and the stirring motor 12 drives the transmission shaft to rotate, thereby stirring the raw material and generating some turbulence. More turbulence drives the raw material inside the crushing chamber 9 to produce better impact and crushing effects. The two air ducts are symmetrically arranged, and the two air flows generate convection transmission, thereby driving the mixing and collision of the carbon powder raw materials. After the collision, the transmission shaft and the shifting shaft rotate at the same time, stirring the raw materials and generating partial turbulence. The shifting shaft and the shifting support shaft are designed with multiple teeth, which promotes the generation of more turbulence. More turbulence drives the raw materials inside the mixing box to produce better impact and crushing effects, and transmits multiple air flows through the air ducts, which is conducive to the transmission of high-pressure gas.

[0034] The two-step grinding and pulverizing device for printer toner of the utility model can grind raw materials before gas pulverization, so that large pieces of solid raw materials are ground into small particles, reducing the time consumed in the next gas pulverization process, thereby improving the production efficiency of toner.
