Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of printer equipment, in particular to a powder bin agitator for a printer toner cartridge. Background Art

[0002] A printer is a computer output device used to print computer processing results onto a suitable medium. The toner cartridge, also known as a photosensitive drum, is the heart of the printer. Its basic structure generally consists of an aluminum base material coated with a photosensitive material. When a printer runs out of toner, the user needs to add to the toner hopper. Existing toner hoppers typically use a stirrer to ensure even distribution of toner within the hopper.

[0003] The existing agitator can often only stir in one direction when stirring the toner in the powder hopper, so that the toner can only flow in one direction, resulting in a slow speed at which the toner is evenly distributed in the powder hopper. Therefore, the utility model provides a powder hopper agitator for a printer toner cartridge. Utility Model Content

A moving assembly is provided on the rear side of the bin body 1, and a limit rod 17 is provided on the top of the bin body 1 through the moving assembly to limit the mounting plate 5. A handle 18 is fixedly installed on the top of the mounting plate 5. There are multiple handles 18, which facilitate the mounting plate 5 to be disassembled more conveniently. The powder bin agitator for the printer toner cartridge can rotate the first rotating rod 7 and the first stirring rod 8 through the first motor 6. At the same time, the rotation of the first rotating rod 7 causes the transmission assembly to drive the second rotating rod 11 and the second stirring rod 12 to rotate in the opposite direction. Through the synchronous opposite rotation of the first stirring rod 8 and the second stirring rod 12, the toner inside the bin body 1 is stirred, so that the toner is evenly distributed in the bin body 1 at a faster speed, so that the printer can be used faster.

During installation, the positioning frame 4 on the mounting plate 5 is inserted into the positioning groove 3, so that the mounting plate 5 can be positioned and installed, and the mounting plate 5 can be supported by the support frame 2.

[0025] Specifically, the moving assembly includes a fixed frame 13 arranged on the rear side of the warehouse body 1, and a second motor 14 is fixedly installed on the right side of the fixed frame 13. The output end of the second motor 14 passes through the fixed frame 13 and extends to the inside of the fixed frame 13 and is fixedly installed with a screw 15. The screw 15 is a bidirectional threaded rod. The screw 15 is made of metal material. A moving rod 16 is threadedly connected to the surface of the screw 15. The moving rod 16 has an L-shaped structure. The moving rod 16 is made of metal material, which makes the moving rod 16 have a higher structural strength, thereby making the moving rod 16 more durable. The moving rod 16 is slidably connected to the fixed frame 13, and the moving rod 16 is fixedly connected to the limit rod 17, which is convenient for providing driving force for the movement of the limit rod 17. When the limit rods 17 approach each other to a suitable position, it is convenient to limit the mounting plate 5. When the limit rods 17 move away from each other to a suitable position, it is convenient to cancel the limit on the mounting plate 5, and then the mounting plate 5 can be disassembled or installed.

[0026] The electrical components mentioned in this article are all connected to an external main controller and 220V mains electricity, and the main controller can be a conventional known device that performs control such as a computer.

[0027] When in use: start the first motor 6, so that the first rotating rod 7 rotates, so that the first stirring rod 8 rotates, and when the first rotating rod 7 rotates, the first gear 9 rotates, driving the second gear 10 to rotate in the opposite direction, driving the second rotating rod 11 to rotate in the opposite direction, and driving the second stirring rod 12 to rotate in the opposite direction. Through the synchronous reverse rotation of the first stirring rod 8 and the second stirring rod 12, the toner inside the bin body 1 is stirred. When the inside of the bin body 1 needs to be cleaned, start the second motor 14 to rotate the screw 15, so that the moving rod 16 moves along the fixed frame 13. Move away from each other, driving the limit rods 17 away from each other until the limit rods 17 move away from each other to the appropriate position, and then pull the handle 18 upward to move the mounting plate 5 and the positioning frame 4 upward, so that the positioning frame 4 is separated from the positioning groove 3, and then the mounting plate 5 is taken out from the warehouse body 1, and then the inside of the warehouse body 1 and the first stirring rod 8 and the second stirring rod 12 can be cleaned. After the cleaning is completed, the positioning frame 4 on the mounting plate 5 is inserted into the positioning groove 3, and then the second motor 14 is started in reverse, which can make the limit rods 17 move closer to each other until the limit rods 17 move closer to each other to the appropriate position.

[0028] To sum up, the powder hopper agitator for the printer toner cartridge can rotate the first rotating rod 7 and the first stirring rod 8 through the first motor 6. At the same time, the rotation of the first rotating rod 7 causes the transmission assembly to drive the second rotating rod 11 and the second stirring rod 12 to rotate in the opposite direction. Through the synchronous reverse rotation of the first stirring rod 8 and the second stirring rod 12, the toner inside the hopper body 1 is stirred, so that the toner is evenly distributed in the hopper body 1 faster, so that the printer can be used faster, solving the problems raised in the above background technology.
