By providing the feeding mechanism, the toner bin 4 is conveniently opened, thereby achieving the purpose of convenient toner addition, and the sealing performance is good to prevent the entry of moisture, and a stirring mechanism is installed in the toner bin 4. By providing the stirring mechanism, the stirring function of the toner bin 4 is increased, and toner is prevented from agglomerating, thereby affecting the use of the toner cartridge body 1, and an observation window 5 is fixedly mounted on the toner bin 4. The shape of the observation window 5 is square and the observation window 5 is made of transparent glass. By providing the observation window 5, the user can observe the remaining toner through the observation window 5.

[0022] In detail, the stirring mechanism includes a cavity 34 . The cavity 34 is opened in the carbon powder bin 4 . The cavity 34 is in the shape of a square cavity. The cavity 34 is provided to receive the installation of the small motor 32 .

[0023] Furthermore, a small motor 32 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the cavity 34. The small motor 32 is used to drive the rotating rod 31 to rotate. The rotating rod 31 is fixedly installed on the rotating shaft end of the small motor 32. The rotating rod 31 is used to receive the installation of the stirring rod 33 and also to drive the stirring rod 33 to rotate.

[0024] Furthermore, the rotating rod 31 is in the shape of a cylindrical rod, one end of which rotates and passes through the inner wall of the toner bin 4. A stirring rod 33 is fixedly mounted on the rotating rod 31, and the stirring rod 33 is in the shape of a bar rod. The stirring rod 33 is provided to stir the toner in the toner bin 4 to prevent the toner from agglomerating, thereby affecting the use of the toner cartridge. When the toner needs to be stirred, the small motor 32 is started, and the small motor 32 drives the rotating rod 31 to rotate. When the rotating rod 31 rotates, it will drive the stirring rod 33 to rotate, and the stirring rod 33 will stir the toner in the toner bin 4 to prevent the toner from agglomerating and affecting the use of the toner cartridge.

[0025] In more detail, the delivery mechanism includes a delivery pipe 25, which is fixedly installed on the toner bin 4. The delivery pipe 25 is connected to the toner bin 4. The delivery pipe 25 is in the shape of a circular tube. The setting of the delivery pipe 25 is used to add toner into the toner bin 4.

[0026] In general, the inner wall of the delivery pipe 25 is provided with a thread. By setting up the delivery pipe 25 with a thread on the inner wall, it is convenient to thread the threaded rod 21. The inner wall of the delivery pipe 25 is threadedly connected with the threaded rod 21. The threaded rod 21 is set to be threadedly connected to the delivery pipe 25, thereby achieving the purpose of closing the delivery pipe 25. The threaded rod 21 is shaped like a cylindrical rod. A handle 23 is fixedly installed on the top of the threaded rod 21. The handle 23 is shaped like a disc. The handle 23 is set to rotate the threaded rod 21.

[0027] Finally, a first sealing ring 22 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the handle 23, and a second sealing ring 24 is fixedly installed on the carbon powder bin 4. The second sealing ring 24 is in the shape of a ring. The second sealing ring 24 and the first sealing ring 22 are both made of fluororubber. Fluororubber is also called fluorosilicone rubber or fluorocarbon rubber. It is a synthetic rubber. Its main component is a polymer containing fluorine atoms. Fluororubber has excellent chemical resistance to many chemicals, including strong acids, strong alkalis, halogens, oxidants, solvents and greases. Fluororubber has good resistance to mineral oil, hydraulic oil and fuel oil. It can resist ultraviolet rays, Ozone and oxygen, so it is also very stable when used outdoors. Fluororubber is not easy to age and can maintain its performance even if exposed to harsh environments for a long time. Fluororubber has excellent sealing performance and can effectively prevent gases, liquids and other fluids from passing through the sealing surface. Fluororubber can maintain a certain shape when compressed and quickly return to its original shape after the pressure is released, which helps to maintain the continuity of the sealing surface. By providing a first sealing ring 22 and a second sealing ring 24 made of fluororubber, it is convenient to improve the sealing performance of the delivery pipe 25 to prevent moisture from entering, thereby causing carbon powder to agglomerate in the carbon powder bin 4.

[0028] When it is necessary to add toner, turn the handle 23, and the handle 23 drives the threaded rod 21 to rotate until the threaded rod 21 is taken out of the delivery pipe 25, thereby achieving the purpose of opening the toner bin 4, and then the toner is delivered into the toner bin 4 through the delivery pipe 25. After the delivery is completed, the threaded rod 21 is threadedly connected to the delivery pipe 25 through the handle 23. When the threaded rod 21 is threadedly installed, the first sealing ring 22 will squeeze the second sealing ring 24, thereby achieving the purpose of sealing the delivery pipe 25, preventing moisture from entering the toner bin 4 through the delivery pipe 25, thereby causing toner to clump.

[0029] Working mode: During operation, when it is necessary to add carbon powder, turn the handle 23, and the handle 23 drives the threaded rod 21 to rotate until the threaded rod 21 is taken out from the delivery pipe 25, thereby achieving the purpose of opening the carbon powder bin 4, and then the carbon powder is delivered into the carbon powder bin 4 through the delivery pipe 25. After the delivery is completed, the threaded rod 21 is threadedly connected to the delivery pipe 25 through the handle 23. When the threaded rod 21 is threadedly installed, the first sealing ring 22 will squeeze the second sealing ring 24. The second sealing ring 24 and the first sealing ring 22 are both made of fluororubber, which is also called fluorosilicone rubber or fluorocarbon rubber. It is a synthetic rubber. Its main component is a polymer containing fluorine atoms. Fluorine rubber has excellent chemical resistance to many chemicals, including strong acids. , strong alkali, halogen, oxidant, solvent and grease, fluororubber has good resistance to mineral oil, hydraulic oil and fuel oil, it can resist ultraviolet rays, ozone and oxygen, so it is also very stable when used outdoors, fluororubber is not easy to age, even if it is exposed to harsh environment for a long time, it can maintain its performance, fluororubber has excellent sealing performance, can effectively prevent gas, liquid and other fluids from passing through the sealing surface, fluororubber can maintain a certain shape when compressed, and quickly return to its original shape after the pressure is released, which helps to maintain the continuity of the sealing surface, by providing a first sealing ring 22 and a second sealing ring 24 made of fluororubber, it is convenient to improve the sealing performance of the delivery pipe 25 to prevent moisture from entering, thereby causing carbon powder to agglomerate in the carbon powder bin 4.

[0030] When the toner needs to be stirred, the small motor 32 is started, and the small motor 32 drives the rotating rod 31 to rotate. When the rotating rod 31 rotates, it will drive the stirring rod 33 to rotate. The stirring rod 33 will stir the toner in the toner bin 4 to prevent the toner from clumping and affecting the use of the toner cartridge.

[0031] The above is only a preferred specific implementation method of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to this. Any technician familiar with the technical field within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention can make equivalent replacements or changes based on the technical solution and utility model concept of the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
