[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0021] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution for a conveniently adjustable toner cartridge structure:
[0022] Example 1:
[0023] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the easily adjustable toner cartridge structure includes a toner cartridge 1, a photosensitive drum core 2, a protective cover 3, and a waste toner outlet 4. The photosensitive drum core 2 is located inside the toner cartridge 1, the protective cover 3 is located on one side of the toner cartridge 1, and the waste toner outlet 4 is located on one side of the top of the toner cartridge 1. The top of the toner cartridge 1 is provided with two reinforcing plates 5, each with a support strip 8 inside. One end of each support strip 8 is fitted with a support block 9, and the bottom of each support block 9 is provided with a first magnetic strip 10. The top of the protective cover 3 is provided with two second magnetic strips 15. First contact plates 11 are fixedly installed on both sides of the toner cartridge 1. By moving the protective cover 3 upward, the two second magnetic strips 15 installed on its top are brought close to the first magnetic strips 10, and the two are magnetically connected, thus allowing the protective cover 3 to be installed with the toner cartridge 1. By separating the protective cover 3 from the toner cartridge 1, it is convenient to clean and repair the photosensitive drum core 2 and to adjust the components inside the toner cartridge 1.
[0024] Example 2:
[0025] Based on Example 1, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, each of the two second contact plates 12 has two locking strips 14 inside. One end of each of the four locking strips 14 is engaged with the inside of the four locking holes 13. The top of each of the two reinforcing plates 5 has a reinforcing hole 6 and a reinforcing strip 7. The top of the toner cartridge 1 has two recessed holes. After the protective cover 3 and the support block 9 are installed together by the first contact plate 11, the second contact plate 12, the locking holes 13 and the locking strips 14, the protective cover 3 is pushed closer to the toner cartridge 1. The support block 9 moves at one end of the support strip 8. The two second contact plates 12 gradually approach the two first contact plates 11, and one end of the locking strip 14 gradually embeds into the inside of the locking hole 13.
[0026] Working Principle: The toner cartridge is the core component of laser printers and copiers. It transfers laser-printed images and text onto paper. Internal components include an exposure system that directs the laser beam through a photoconductor layer to the correct area, forming an image. The exposure system can adjust the intensity and direction of the laser to adapt to different types of paper and varying print quality requirements. To ensure uniform toner transfer, the toner cartridge typically has a friction adjustment mechanism, achieved by adjusting the pressure and surface material of the friction roller. The toner cartridge structure includes the cartridge 1, a protective cover 3, a photosensitive drum core 2, and a waste toner outlet 4. The protective cover 3 typically prevents external contaminants from entering the cartridge 1. When the cartridge 1 and protective cover 3 cannot be easily disassembled, cleaning and maintenance of the internal components become more difficult, increasing operational complexity. If toner cartridge replacement or internal component adjustments are needed, the inability to easily disassemble the cartridge may increase the difficulty of maintenance. To reduce operational complexity, a conveniently adjustable toner cartridge structure is designed. Two reinforcing strips 7 are embedded into the reinforcing holes 6 and recesses, and the threaded connection of the three limits the positioning of the toner cartridge 1 and the reinforcing plate 5. Moving the protective cover 3 upwards brings the two second magnet strips 15 mounted on its top closer to the first magnet strip 10, and the two magnetically connect, allowing the protective cover 3 to be installed with the toner cartridge 1. The separation of the protective cover 3 from the toner cartridge 1 facilitates the cleaning and maintenance of the photosensitive drum core 2 and the adjustment of the internal components of the toner cartridge 1. After the protective cover 3 and the support block 9 are installed together, pushing the protective cover 3 closer to the toner cartridge 1 causes the support block 9 to move at one end of the support strip 8. The two second contact plates 12 gradually approach the two first contact plates 11, and one end of the locking strip 14 gradually embeds into the locking hole 13, whereby the two engage with each other, thus enabling the installation of the toner cartridge 1 and the protective cover 3, further enhancing the stability of the installation.
