Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of carbon powder cartridges, in particular to a novel C328 carbon powder cartridge. Background Art
[0002] With the development of printing technology, toner cartridges, as one of the important consumables of printers, are facing the problems of simplifying maintenance processes, reducing costs and improving user experience while improving printing quality. The powder bin and waste toner bin of the original C328 toner cartridge adopt a snap-on integrated outer cover design. Although this design can ensure the sealing between the powder bin and the waste toner bin, the entire outer cover needs to be removed during maintenance, and the operation process is relatively cumbersome. In addition, due to the long length of the outer cover, it is easy to cause the outer cover to break due to improper force during disassembly, especially within the entire length range connecting the powder bin to the waste toner bin. On the other hand, the outer cover is also used to fix the gear on the waste toner bin, but due to the structural reasons of the outer cover itself, the gear may break during installation. Looseness affects the printing effect; in addition, the original C328 toner cartridge is a color printing toner cartridge, which often requires a color label to be attached to the outside for judgment. It does not provide any mechanism to indicate whether the toner inside the toner cartridge is exhausted, which makes it difficult for users to accurately judge the replacement time; the waste toner bin is provided with a fastener pressing groove for releasing the buckle with the printer, and the toner bin is provided with a force groove. Users usually need to use their index finger to press the fastener in the fastener pressing groove to release the buckle with the printer, and use their thumb to press the force groove to perform the removal operation. However, the design of the force groove does not conform to the principles of ergonomics. It is a simple rectangular inner groove, which makes it difficult for the thumb to find a suitable point of force when applying force, thereby affecting the convenience and efficiency of operation.
[0003] Therefore, it is imperative to redesign a new C328 toner cartridge. Utility Model Content
