Abstract
Description
[Technical field]
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of printing consumables equipment, in particular to a powder bin shell for a toner cartridge. [Background technology]
[0002] In printing equipment, the powder bin shell in the toner cartridge is a key component for storing toner. Its design must not only meet the storage requirements of toner, but also maintain the structural integrity and strength during transportation, installation and use. In terms of structure, the lug part of the traditional powder bin shell that is used for fastening to the waste toner bin usually adopts a molded plate with a longer protruding length and thinner thickness, and multiple connection holes and clearance holes need to be opened on the surface of the lug to meet different assembly requirements, which further weakens the overall strength of the lug. In actual applications, especially during transportation, the powder bin shell may be impacted and squeezed from all directions. Due to the insufficient strength of the lug part, these external forces often cause the lug to deform or even break, resulting in the scrapping of the entire powder bin shell, seriously affecting the assembly of the toner cartridge, and making the product competitiveness of the powder bin shell low. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a powder bin shell with a connecting lug that is not easy to deform or break. [Summary of the invention]

[0020] 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 protection scope of the utility model.
[0021] Example 1: Please refer to the attached Figure 1 To Attachment Figure 3 The present embodiment provides a powder bin shell for a toner cartridge, comprising a shell 1, a docking mechanism 2 and a reinforcing mechanism 3 provided on the shell 1, wherein the docking mechanism 2 comprises a first docking lug 21 convexly provided on the shell 1 in a plate shape, and the reinforcing mechanism 3 comprises an extended reinforcing member 31 convexly provided on the shell 1, and the extended reinforcing member 31 is fitted and connected to the first docking lug 21, so that the thickness of the first docking lug 21 is increased. In the powder bin shell for a toner cartridge of the present embodiment, in the docking mechanism 2 used for connecting with the waste powder bin, a first docking lug 21 in a plate shape is adopted, so that the docking mechanism 2 has a certain bending strength, and on this basis, a reinforcing mechanism 3 is additionally provided, and an extended reinforcing member 31 fitted to the first docking lug 21 is adopted in the reinforcing mechanism 3, so that the bending strength of the first docking lug 21 is further increased, so that if the powder bin shell is bumped during transportation, the docking mechanism 2 is unlikely to be deformed or broken, and the powder bin shell structure can be effectively ensured to be transported in a sound manner, which is conducive to the assembly of the powder bin shell on the toner cartridge after the subsequent transportation is completed.
[0022] The reinforcing mechanism 3 further includes a transverse reinforcing rib 32 provided at the connection between the extension reinforcing member 31 and the housing 1. The height of the extension reinforcing member 31 is set along the height direction of the protruding first docking lug 21, and the length of the transverse reinforcing rib 32 is set along the thickness direction of the first docking lug 21. Preferably, the length of the transverse reinforcing rib 32 is greater than the protruding height of the first docking lug 21. The provision of the transverse reinforcing rib 32, under the premise that the first docking lug 21 fits the extension reinforcing member 31, strengthens the bending and tearing resistance of the connection between the first docking lug 21 and the housing 1.
[0023] The first docking lug 21 includes a clamping plate portion 211 and a clamping arm portion 212. The extension reinforcement member 31 is arranged in close contact with the clamping arm portion 212. The clamping plate portion 211 is arranged in a square plate shape. The plate-shaped structure is more conducive to the docking of the clamping plate portion 211 with the waste toner bin, and is convenient for subsequent fastening connection with the waste toner bin by means of threaded connection or the like.
[0024] The extended reinforcement member 31 is completely attached to the clamp arm portion 212 and partially extends to fit on the clamp plate portion 211. The extended reinforcement member 31 and the first docking lug 21 are integrally formed. The integrally formed setting simplifies the production process of the housing 1.
[0025] A fixing hole 2111 is provided on the clamping plate portion 211, and a positioning abutting surface 311 corresponding to the fixing hole 2111 is provided at one end of the extended reinforcement member 31 close to the fixing hole 2111. When the positioning abutting surface 311 abuts against the waste powder bin housing, the fixing hole 2111 is directly opposite to the corresponding connection structure on the waste powder bin housing. The docking mechanism 2 also includes a second docking lug 22 in a plate shape, and a second fixing hole 221 is provided on the second docking lug 22. The provision of the positioning abutting surface 311 aligns the fixing hole 2111 with the second fixing hole 221 on the waste powder bin, which has a preliminary positioning effect.
[0026] The reinforcing mechanism 3 also includes a second extension reinforcing member 33 protruding from the housing 1, the second extension reinforcing member 33 is attached to the second docking lug 22, and the second extension reinforcing member 33 and the second docking lug 22 are integrally formed. The second extension reinforcing member 33 further enhances the bending strength of the second docking lug 22; the integrally formed setting simplifies the production process of the housing 1.
[0027] The corners of the clamping plate portion 211 are provided with arc transitions, and the corners of the second docking lug 22 are provided with arc transitions, which can reduce the interference between the first docking lug 21 and the second docking lug 22 when docking and inserting the waste toner bin, which is beneficial to the splicing and installation of the toner cartridge.
[0028] The first docking lug 21 and the second docking lug 22 are respectively arranged at two opposite ends on the same side of the shell 1, so that the first docking lug 21 and the second docking lug 22 are more convenient for personnel to observe when they are close to the waste toner bin, thereby ensuring that the first docking lug 21 and the second docking lug 22 can be docked to the outer shell of the waste toner bin on both sides at the same time.
[0029] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
