Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of toner cartridge technology, and in particular to a novel toner cartridge structure. Background Technology

[0002] Laser printing equipment, such as printers and copiers, all require toner cartridges as the core component for printing. Within the toner cartridge, a chip module needs to be installed to connect and interface with the printer or copier. Currently, the chip module is integrated into a chip holder that is attached to the toner cartridge. The problem with this integrated chip holder is that during manufacturing, because the chip holder is integrally formed with the toner cartridge housing or waste toner cartridge housing, its shape and color cannot be independently differentiated from the housing. In other words, the chip holder is the same color as the toner cartridge housing or waste toner cartridge housing. This makes it difficult for some workers to distinguish the chip holder's position during assembly, leading to incorrect installation or requiring time to correctly identify its location, thus impacting assembly efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] A novel toner cartridge structure designed for this purpose includes a toner cartridge body, a conductive side cover connected to the toner cartridge body, and a chip base detachably connected to the toner cartridge body. The conductive side cover and the chip base are separate components and are located on the same side of the toner cartridge body.
