Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of copiers, in particular to an installation structure of a copier toner cartridge. Background Art

[0002] A copier toner cartridge, also known as an ink cartridge or a toner cartridge, is a component used to store and provide printing toner in laser printers and copiers. The toner cartridge contains powdered toner, which is a mixture of fine carbon particles and polymers and is used to form images and text during the printing process.

[0003] During the use of the existing copier toner cartridge, the toner needs to be continuously consumed. Therefore, after the toner is used up, toner needs to be added to the inside of the toner cartridge. However, for the existing copier toner cartridge, it is generally fixed inside the copier by screws. When toner needs to be added to the inside of the toner cartridge, the operator needs to use tools to disassemble the screws, then add toner to the inside of the toner cartridge, and finally install the toner cartridge again. The operator needs to use tools to disassemble and install the screws, which increases the complexity of the operation and the time cost. Moreover, frequently disassembling and installing the screws may cause the threads to be damaged, making it difficult to firmly fix the toner cartridge inside the copier, thereby affecting the stability of the copier and the printing quality.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new installation structure of a copier toner cartridge to solve the above technical problems. Content of the Utility Model

[0005] To solve the above technical problems, the utility model provides an installation structure of a copier toner cartridge.

[0006] An installation structure of a copier toner cartridge provided by the utility model includes a copier body and a toner cartridge. The toner cartridge is connected to the inner wall of a groove opened on one side of the copier body through two connecting devices;

[0007] The connecting device includes a pushing component, two fixing plates and a plurality of elastic components. The pushing component is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the groove opened on one side of the copier body. Both of the two fixing plates are fixedly connected to one end of the pushing component, and a limiting plate is fixedly connected to one end of the two fixing plates. The limiting plate is located in the inner wall of the groove opened on the toner cartridge, and one end of the limiting plate is inclined. One ends of the plurality of elastic components are fixedly connected to the fixing plates far away from the limiting plate, and the ends of the plurality of elastic components far away from the fixing plates are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the groove opened on one side of the copier body.

[0008] Preferably, the pushing component includes a pushing plate, two connecting plates and two compression springs. The two connecting plates are respectively fixedly connected to one end of the fixing plate. One end of each of the two compression springs is fixedly connected to the inner wall of a groove formed on one side of the copier body, and one end of each of the two compression springs away from the copier body is fixedly connected to a movable block. Both sides of the end of the movable block adjacent to the connecting plate are inclined. The pushing plate is fixedly connected to one end of the movable block, and the pushing plate is movably connected to the inner wall of a groove formed on one side of the copier body.

[0009] Preferably, the elastic member is a telescopic spring. One end of the telescopic spring is fixedly connected to the end of the fixing plate away from the limiting plate, and the end of the telescopic spring away from the fixing plate is fixedly connected to the inner wall of a groove formed on one side of the copier body.

[0010] Preferably, a limiting strip is movably connected to the inner wall of a groove formed on the pushing plate, and the limiting strip is fixedly connected to the side wall of one side of the copier body.

[0011] Preferably, both ends of the two connecting plates adjacent to the movable block are inclined, and the inclined surfaces provided on the two connecting plates are adapted to the inclined surfaces provided on both sides of one end of the movable block.

[0012] Preferably, a cover plate is movably connected to one side of the copier body through a hinge, and a handle is fixedly connected to one end of the cover plate.

[0013] Compared with the related art, a toner cartridge installation structure of a copier provided by the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] Through the provided connecting device, when toner needs to be added to the toner cartridge, first drive the pushing component to move towards the end away from the copier body, squeeze the pushing component, so that the limiting plate is driven by the pushing component and the fixing plate to move out of the groove formed on the toner cartridge, so that the toner cartridge loses the limitation of the limiting plate on it, and then the toner cartridge is taken out from the groove formed on one side of the copier body and the toner is added. After the addition is completed, the toner cartridge is put back into the groove formed on one side of the copier body. At this time, the toner cartridge will squeeze the fixing plate and the telescopic spring through the inclined surface provided on one side of the limiting plate, so that the limiting plate is inserted back into the groove formed on the toner cartridge, so as to reinstall the toner cartridge. This device reduces the complexity of the operation and the time cost, and reduces the probability that the frequent disassembly and installation of screws may cause thread damage, making it difficult for the toner cartridge to be firmly fixed inside the copier, and reduces the impact on the stability and printing quality of the copier.
