[0032] The present utility model provides a developing bottle. The developing bottle is used to contain a developer and supplement the developer for a developing cartridge or a processing cartridge. The developer can form a visible image on a medium such as paper.
[0033] For the developing bottle provided by the present utility model, the bottle mouth is connected to the bottle cap, the sealing member seals the bottle mouth, and the sealing connection part is partially connected to the sealing member and the other part is exposed outside the bottle cap. Through the sealing connection part exposed outside the bottle cap, the sealing member at the bottle mouth can be opened and the bottle mouth can be communicated with the discharge port without opening the bottle cap. Then, the discharge port can be aligned with the filling port of the developing cartridge to supplement the developing cartridge with the developer. Since the bottle mouth and the discharge port can be communicated without opening the bottle cap, the developer is not easily spilled during the process of opening the sealing member. This operation method is simple, environmentally friendly, and provides a good user experience.
[0034] Refer to Figures 1 to 7 , the developing bottle of the present utility model includes a bottle body 1 for containing a developer and a bottle cap 2. The bottle body 1 has a bottle mouth 3. The bottle cap 2 is connected to the bottle mouth 3 and is provided with a discharge port 4. A sealing member 5 and a sealing connection part 6 are provided at the bottle mouth 3. The sealing member 5 seals the bottle mouth 3. One part of the sealing connection part 6 is connected to the sealing member 5, and the other part of the sealing connection part 6 is exposed outside the bottle cap 2. The sealing connection part 6 can open the sealing member 5 to communicate the bottle mouth 3 with the discharge port 4.
[0035] Refer to Figures 1 to 3, in the first embodiment, the sealing connector 6 is a tearing member 61. One end of the tearing member 61 is connected to the sealing member 5, and the other end of the tearing member 61 is exposed outside the bottle cap 2. By pulling the tearing member 61 exposed outside the bottle cap 2, the sealing member can be opened, that is, the bottle mouth is communicated with the discharge port, and the operation is simple and convenient.
[0036] Optionally, the connection manner between the tearing member 61 and the sealing member 5 is integrally formed or separately connected. The separate connection can adopt adhesive connection or fusion connection. The integrally formed manner of the tearing member 61 and the sealing member 5 is simple and not easy to break.
[0037] Optionally, referring to Figure 3 , one end of the tearing member 61 is connected to the sealing member 5 at a position on the outer periphery of the sealing member 5. In this way, by pulling the outer periphery of the sealing member 5 through the tearing member 61, the area where the sealing member 5 is separated from the bottle mouth 3 is larger, that is, the exposed area of the bottle mouth 3 is more, so that a large amount of developer can quickly enter the bottle cap, and the discharge port can quickly supplement a large amount of developer to the developing cartridge. Optionally, the connection position between the tearing member 61 and the sealing member 5 is at a position closer to the center of the sealing member 5. By pulling one end of the tearing member 61 connected to the sealing member 5, the sealing member 5 is opened in a strip shape.
[0038] Optionally, referring to Figure 1 , the other end of the tearing member 61 passes through the discharge port 4 and is exposed outside the bottle cap 2. By pulling the tearing member 61 exposed outside the bottle cap 2, the sealing member 5 can be opened, that is, the bottle mouth 3 is communicated with the discharge port 4, and the operation is simple and convenient. Optionally, referring to Figure 4 , an outlet 7 is provided on the side of the bottle cap 2, and the other end of the tearing member 61 passes through the outlet 7 and is exposed outside the bottle cap 2.
[0039] Optionally, the bottle cap 2 is in an inverted V shape, and the bottle cap 2 is threadedly connected or snap-connected to the bottle mouth 3.
[0040] Optionally, the discharge port 4 is disposed opposite to the bottle mouth 3, which is convenient for the developer to pass through the bottle mouth 3 and quickly reach the discharge port 4 after the sealing member 5 is opened, so that the developing cartridge can be quickly supplemented with the developer.
[0041] Optionally, the sealing member 5 is a sealing film or a sealing sheet.
[0042] Referring to Figure 5 、 Figure 6 , in the second embodiment, the sealing connector 6 is a rotating member 62. The rotating member 62 includes a rotating shaft 621 and a handle 622, and the handle 622 is connected to the rotating shaft 621. The rotating member 62 passes through the bottle cap 2, the outer periphery of the rotating shaft 621 is connected to the sealing member 5, and the handle 622 is exposed outside the bottle cap 2. By rotating the handle 622 exposed outside the bottle cap 2 to drive the rotating shaft 621 to rotate, the sealing member 5 can be opened, that is, the bottle mouth 3 is communicated with the discharge port 4, and the operation is simple and fast.
[0043] Optionally, the extending direction of the rotating member 62 is the same as the extending direction of the plane where the bottle mouth 3 is located. In this way, the area of the outer periphery of the rotating shaft 621 connected to the sealing member 5 is increased, and the connection stability between the rotating shaft and the sealing member is improved. Optionally, the extending direction of the rotating member 62 may also intersect with the plane where the bottle mouth 3 is located.
[0044] Optionally, the outer periphery of the rotating shaft 621 is connected to the sealing member 5 by pasting. Refer to Figure 6 , apply glue to the outer periphery of the rotating shaft 621, and then place the rotating shaft 621 on the sealing member 5, so as to connect the rotating member 62 to the sealing member 5. Refer to Figure 7 , the developing bottle further includes an adhesive tape 8. The adhesive tape 8 is pasted on the outer periphery of the rotating shaft 621 and on the sealing member 5, so that the outer periphery of the rotating shaft 621 is surrounded by the adhesive tape 8 and the sealing member 5, improving the reliability of the rotating member 8 to rotate and open the sealing member 5. When pasting, the rotating shaft 621 can be placed on the sealing member 5, and then the middle part of the adhesive tape 8 is pasted on the outer periphery of the rotating shaft 621, and the two ends of the adhesive tape 8 are pasted on the sealing member 5. The method of pasting the rotating shaft 621 to the sealing member 5 by the adhesive tape 8 is simple and reliable. Optionally, the rotating shaft 621 and the sealing member 5 are pasted together by melting.
