DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0017] The technical solutions will be further described below in combination with specific embodiments, and it should be noted that the words such as up, down, left, right and the like indicating directions in the present text are only for the positions of the shown structures in the corresponding drawings. The serial numbers of the components in the present text, such as first, second and the like, are only used to distinguish the described objects, and do not have any sequence or technical meaning. The connection and coupling mentioned in the present application include direct and indirect connection (coupling) unless otherwise specified.

[0018] Embodiment: a structure for low-coverage printing of selenium drum, refer to Figs. 1-3, including: the shell 1, which is divided into three sub-zones for storing new powder toner bin 2, for collecting waste powder waste powder bin 8, and installation bin; print assembly 16, assembled in the installation bin in the shell 1, for taking out the toner bin 2 toner printing job, its core includes photosensitive drum, developing roller and charging roller, and power transmission through gear set meshing with each other, the structure into the printer, the printer will power to print assembly 16 to complete the printing job; powder channel 3, fixedly installed on the top of the shell 1, which is located in the central position of the toner bin 2, and extends into the toner bin 2, which can be supplemented by the powder channel 3, and the distal end is symmetrically provided with two exits for simultaneously and uniformly supplementing the toner bin 2 on both sides; material conveying and stirring frame 6, rotatably installed in the toner bin 2, which is provided with two groups of spiral structures with opposite spiral directions, forming a bidirectional pushing structure; first gear 4, fixedly installed on the shaft of the component near the toner bin 2 side of the print assembly 16, such as the developing roller; second gear 5, fixedly installed on the shaft of the material conveying and stirring frame 6, the first gear 4 and the second gear 5 are meshed with each other to realize power transmission.

[0019] When the printing job starts, the printer drives the print assembly 16 to operate, and the operating power is transmitted through the transmission structure of the first gear 4 and the second gear 5 to drive the material conveying and stirring frame 6 to rotate synchronously; and the two groups of reverse spiral structure on the material conveying and stirring frame 6 will form axial pushing force in opposite directions when rotating, so as to push the toner to continuously and uniformly move in both directions in the toner bin 2; which is embodied in that in the area where the toner stock is relatively large, the material conveying and stirring frame 6 will push the excess toner to the area where the toner stock is relatively small by directly contacting with the toner; and in the area where the toner stock is relatively small, it will receive the toner pushed from the other area; through this dynamic adjustment process, the toner in the toner bin 2 can finally maintain a uniform distribution state.

[0020] The structure ensures that the toner can be uniformly distributed in the axial direction of the developing roller through the continuous bidirectional stirring function of the material conveying and stirring frame 6, thereby effectively eliminating the defects such as strip-shaped blank and light color on the printed page caused by local powder shortage, and ensuring the uniformity and stability of low coverage document output; and all toner in the toner bin 2 can be fully utilized, avoiding structural waste caused by "tunnel effect", effectively consuming toner, and reducing the cost of single-page printing by increasing the actual number of printed pages.

[0021] Referring to Figs. 2-3The structure further comprises: five groups of jam-clearing stirring frames 13, which are rotatably installed in the waste powder bin 8 and evenly distributed along the axial direction of the waste powder bin 8, and adopt a conical structure, i.e., the diameter of one end is larger than that of the other end, and the end with the larger diameter is arranged towards the bin opening of the waste powder bin 8; a third gear 9, which is fixedly installed on the shaft of a component, such as a photosensitive roller, of the printing assembly 16 close to the side of the waste powder bin 8, and meshes with the existing gear structure inside the printing assembly 16 to obtain driving force from the printer; a transmission shaft 11, which is rotatably installed in the waste powder bin 8; five groups of bevel gear sets 12, which are correspondingly arranged between each group of jam-clearing stirring frames 13 and the transmission shaft 11, and each group of bevel gear sets 12 comprises two bevel gears that are perpendicular to each other and mesh with each other, one of which is coaxially fixed with the smaller-diameter end of the jam-clearing stirring frame 13, and the other of which is coaxially fixed with the transmission shaft 11; and a transmission belt set 10, which is assembled between the transmission shaft 11 and the third gear 9, and comprises two transmission wheels and a transmission belt wound between the transmission wheels, one of which is fixed on the transmission shaft 11, and the other of which is coaxially fixed with the third gear 9.

[0022] When the printing assembly 16 is working, power is sequentially transmitted through the third gear 9, the transmission belt set 10, the transmission shaft 11, and finally all the jam-clearing stirring frames 13 are driven to rotate synchronously by the bevel gear sets 12, so as to process the waste powder located at the bin opening of the waste powder bin 8, effectively prevent the waste powder from accumulating near the bin opening of the waste powder bin 8 and causing blockage, and push the waste powder from the bin opening to the deep part of the bin by the conical structure of the jam-clearing stirring frame 13, thereby preventing the waste powder from leaking out and ensuring the use effect of the waste powder bin 8 during the entire service life.

While the material conveying stirring frame 6 rotates, the scrapers 7 rotate with it, and the edges thereof continuously scrape the inner wall of the toner bin 2, effectively stripping the toner attached to the bin wall of the toner bin 2 due to electrostatic factors, on the one hand, making the toner flow more smoothly and completely, and on the other hand, ensuring that there is no residual toner in the toner bin 2, thereby improving the use rate of toner.

[0024] Referring to Figs. 2-3 The structure further comprises: an electrostatic discharge roller 14, which is fixedly installed in the material conveying stirring frame 6 and connected to the housing 1 through a conductive path, and discharges the static electricity generated by the material conveying stirring frame 6 during rotation and stirring by grounding, so as to effectively avoid the "toner sticking" phenomenon caused by the toner adhering to the surface of the material conveying stirring frame 6, thereby reducing unnecessary toner waste, ensuring that the toner is efficiently conveyed to the developing roller to participate in printing, and further improving the use rate of toner.

[0025] Referring to Figs. 2-3Further comprising: a protective cover 15 fixedly installed in the waste powder bin 8, used for covering the bevel gear set 12, guaranteeing the smoothness and stability of the transmission structure, and ensuring that the clearing and stirring frame 13 can continuously and stably work.
