Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of copier equipment, in particular to a toner recycling device for a copier. Background Art

[0002] Toner, also known as carbon powder, 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] The waste toner after use will be directly recycled into the recycling box and then stored inside the recycling box. The waste inside the recycling box is generally directly discarded for treatment, while the waste toner still contains unused toner. Directly discarding it will cause a lot of resource waste. At the same time, the waste toner cannot be recycled and reused, otherwise it will cause damage to the internal parts of the copy and reduce the service life of the copy. Therefore, a device is urgently needed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0019] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. 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.

[0020] See also Figure 1-4The utility model provides a technical solution: a toner recycling device for a copier, comprising a delivery pump 1, a connecting pipe 3, a storage box 4 and a recovery box 2. The connecting pipe 3 has two connecting valves respectively fixed at the output end and the input end of the delivery pump 1. The output end connecting pipe 3 penetrates into the storage box 4. There is a control mechanism between the input end connecting pipe 3 and the recovery box 2 for conveniently controlling the opening state between the connecting pipe 3 and the recovery box 2. One side of the delivery pump 1 has a starting mechanism for conveniently starting the delivery pump 1. A rubber valve 6 is bonded and fixed to the bottom end of the recovery box 2 for convenient sealing of the bottom end position of the recovery box 2. The rubber valve 6 has two valves and fits each other. When in use, the waste toner is recycled by the recovery box 2 until the toner is completely used and needs to be replenished. At this time, the delivery pump 1 is started by the starting mechanism, and the delivery pump 1 transports the waste toner after the first use to the storage box 4 through the connecting pipe 3 for reuse. This facilitates the recycling of toner, ensures that the toner is fully used, and prevents waste of resources.

[0021] In one case of the present embodiment, the control mechanism includes a sleeve 8, a solenoid valve 7, a control switch 9 and a prompt light 10. The sleeve 8 is fixed at the top position of the input end connecting pipe 3 through a connecting valve. The recovery box 2 is movably sleeved on the top of the sleeve 8. The solenoid valve 7 is fixed on the input end connecting pipe 3 through a connecting valve. The control switch 9 is embedded and fixed on one side of the solenoid valve 7 to facilitate starting the solenoid valve 7. The prompt light 10 is embedded and fixed on one side of the solenoid valve 7. The prompt light 10 is electrically connected to the solenoid valve 7 to facilitate displaying the working status of the solenoid valve 7. When in use, the solenoid valve 7 is in an open state. When the delivery pump 1 is working, a negative pressure is formed inside the connecting pipe 3 at the input end. The negative pressure sucks open the rubber valve 6, so that the toner inside the recovery box 2 is sucked into the storage box 4. When the waste toner inside the recovery box 2 needs to be taken out for processing, the rubber valve 6 plays a role in sealing the bottom of the recovery box 2, thereby facilitating the removal of the recovery box 2.

[0022] In one case of the present embodiment, the starting mechanism includes a delay switch 12, a starting switch 13, a spring 14, a hollow block 5 and a movable plate 11. The hollow block 5 is fixed to one side of the delivery pump 1 by bolts, and the movable plate 11 slides inside the hollow block 5. The delay switch 12 is embedded and fixed on the inner wall of the hollow block 5, and the starting switch 13 is embedded and fixed on the inner wall of the hollow block 5. The spring 14 is welded and fixed between the movable plate 11 and the inner wall of the hollow block 5. The delay switch 12 is electrically connected to the solenoid valve 7 to facilitate delayed closing of the solenoid valve 7. The starting switch 13 is electrically connected to the delivery pump 1. When in use, by pressing the movable plate 11 The spring 14 is compressed until it contacts the start switch 13 and the delay switch 12. The start switch 13 directly starts the delivery pump 1 to perform the delivery work. After the delay switch 12 time is up, the solenoid valve 7 is closed, and the internal toner has been transported. After the solenoid valve 7 is closed, the prompt light 10 goes out. At this time, the toner recycling work is completed, and the state of the solenoid valve 7 is to prompt that the toner has been used once. When the reuse is completed, the toner can be directly discarded and replaced with new toner. The solenoid valve 7 is started by controlling the switch 9, so that the solenoid valve 7 is in the open state again and the prompt light 10 is turned on.

[0023] Working principle: When the utility model is in use, the waste toner is recycled by the recycling box 2. When the toner is completely used and needs to be replenished, the delivery pump 1 is started by the starting mechanism. The delivery pump 1 delivers the waste toner after the first use to the storage box 4 through the connecting pipe 3 to be reused. This facilitates the recycling of toner, ensures that the toner is completely used, and prevents waste of resources. When in use, the spring 14 is compressed by pressing the movable plate 11 until it contacts the starting switch 13 and the delay switch 12. The starting switch 13 directly starts the delivery pump 1 for delivery, and the delay switch 12 is pressed to start the delivery pump 1. After the closing time 12 is up, the solenoid valve 7 is closed, and the internal toner has been transported. After the solenoid valve 7 is closed, the prompt light 10 goes out, and the toner recycling work is completed once, and the state of the solenoid valve 7 is to prompt that the toner has been used once. When the reuse is completed, the toner can be directly discarded and replaced with new toner to prevent the toner from being recycled infinitely and causing damage to the copy. The solenoid valve 7 is started by controlling the switch 9, so that the solenoid valve 7 is in the open state again and the prompt light 10 is turned on. It has the advantages of simple structure, easy use and good use effect.
