[0002] Toner refilling refers to adding new toner to the toner cartridge (developing unit) of a laser printer or copier to maintain normal printing operations. Toner is a core consumable for laser printing, composed of fine plastic particles, pigments, and magnetic materials. It is electrostatically attracted to the photosensitive drum and transferred to the paper. When the device indicates low toner or faded prints, the user can manually open the toner cartridge and pour in new toner through the refill port using a dedicated toner bottle.

[0003] Chinese patent application 201820806668.9 discloses a convenient dual-purpose bottle spout. The key technical features are: it includes a lower spout and an upper spout; the top of the lower spout matches the bottom of the upper spout, and the inner diameter of the bottom of the upper spout is larger than the outer diameter of the lower spout; the outer side of the top of the lower spout has an annular protrusion, and the inner side of the upper spout has a corresponding groove; the upper spout can be snapped onto the top of the lower spout. This invention transforms the bottle spout into a dual-purpose type, adaptable to different sizes, allowing for separate use when encountering different product powder filling ports. The powder filling port sizes vary between products, further solving consumer inconvenience. Furthermore, this multi-product powder filling port design represents a highly user-friendly improvement, making it more convenient and efficient for consumers, aiming to provide the most satisfactory consumption and usage experience.

[0004] Regarding the above-mentioned and existing related technologies, the inventors believe that the following defects often exist: Although the above-mentioned nozzle can be used for two purposes, there is a problem of poor matching between the nozzle and the printer toner cartridge interface, which causes toner to overflow from the gap when adding toner, polluting the environment or damaging the equipment. In addition, the nozzle has poor sealing performance to the toner bottle, and it gets damp or dusty during storage, affecting the quality of the toner. Utility Model Content

[0024] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0025] Secondly, the term "an embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that excludes other embodiments.

[0026] Example: Refer to Figure 1-4 This embodiment of the present invention provides a dual-purpose bottle nozzle for adding powder to bottles, comprising:

[0027] The nozzle mechanism 100 includes a main nozzle 110 and an auxiliary nozzle 120 disposed on the surface of the main nozzle 110;

[0028] The sealing mechanism 200 includes a sealing member 210 for increasing the sealing performance of the main nozzle 110 and the auxiliary nozzle 120, and a toner spill prevention member 220 sleeved on the surface of the main nozzle 110 for increasing the sealing performance of the toner cartridge interface.

[0029] The sealing component 210 is used to improve the overall sealing of the toner bottle, preventing the toner from getting damp or dusty during storage, which would affect the toner quality. The toner overflow prevention component 220 is used to increase the compatibility between the main nozzle 110 and the printer toner cartridge interface. Due to the elasticity and bevel design of the rubber sleeve 221, it can be connected to toner cartridge interfaces of different sizes, preventing toner from overflowing from gaps during toner filling, thus avoiding environmental pollution or equipment damage.

[0030] Specifically, the sealing component 210 includes a sealing block 211 for sealing the opening of the main nozzle 110 and a sealing plug 212 for sealing the opening of the auxiliary nozzle 120.

[0031] The sealing block 211 is used to seal the opening of the main nozzle 110, and the sealing plug 212 seals the opening of the auxiliary nozzle 120, thereby improving the sealing performance of the main nozzle 110 and the auxiliary nozzle 120 for the toner storage bottle, preventing moisture or dust from entering during storage and affecting the toner quality.

[0032] Furthermore, a protrusion 213 is fixedly installed on the surface of the sealing plug 212, which facilitates the insertion and removal of the sealing plug 212.

[0033] The protrusion 213 facilitates the insertion of the sealing plug 212 into the opening of the auxiliary bottle mouth 120 to seal the auxiliary bottle mouth 120, and also makes it easy to remove the sealing plug 212.

[0034] Preferably, the surface of the sealing block 211 is provided with two sealing rings 214, and the opening of the main bottle nozzle 110 is provided with two sealing grooves 215 that cooperate with the sealing rings 214 to seal the main bottle nozzle 110.

[0035] The sealing ring 214 and the sealing groove 215 work together to improve the sealing effect of the sealing block 211 at the opening of the main bottle nozzle 110.

[0036] Furthermore, the toner spill prevention component 220 includes a rubber sleeve 221 disposed on the outer surface of the main nozzle 110, a plurality of protruding rings 222 disposed on the inner surface of the rubber sleeve 221, and a plurality of annular grooves 223 formed on the outer surface of the main nozzle 110 and used in conjunction with the protruding rings 222.

[0037] The rubber sleeve 221 is used to increase the compatibility between the main nozzle 110 and the printer toner cartridge interface. Due to the elasticity and beveled design of the rubber sleeve 221, it can be connected to toner cartridge interfaces of different sizes, preventing toner from overflowing from the gaps during toner filling, thus avoiding environmental pollution or equipment damage. The cooperation between the convex ring 222 and the annular groove 223 can limit the rubber sleeve 221, improve the stability of the rubber sleeve 221 on the surface of the main nozzle 110, and prevent it from shifting.

[0038] Specifically, the shape of the rubber sleeve 221 matches the shape of the main bottle nozzle 110, and the convex ring 222 is engaged inside the annular groove 223.

[0039] Furthermore, a retaining ring 130 is fixedly installed on the surface of the main nozzle 110, and a sealing gasket 140 for increasing the sealing performance is embedded on the side of the retaining ring 130 near the auxiliary nozzle 120.

[0040] The engagement between the retaining ring 130 and the sealing gasket 140 is used to increase the sealing performance between the main nozzle 110 and the auxiliary nozzle 120.

[0041] In use, the sealing block 211 seals the opening of the main nozzle 110, and the sealing plug 212 seals the opening of the auxiliary nozzle 120, thereby improving the sealing performance of the main nozzle 110 and the auxiliary nozzle 120 for the toner storage bottle.

[0042] The rubber sleeve 221 increases the compatibility between the main nozzle 110 and the printer toner cartridge interface. Due to the elasticity and beveled design of the rubber sleeve 221, it can be connected to toner cartridge interfaces of different sizes.

[0043] In summary, the sealing component 210 is used to improve the overall sealing of the toner bottle, preventing the toner from getting damp or dusty during storage, which would affect the toner quality; the toner overflow prevention component 220 is used to increase the compatibility between the main nozzle 110 and the printer toner cartridge interface. Due to the elasticity and bevel design of the rubber sleeve 221, it can be connected to toner cartridge interfaces of different sizes, preventing toner from overflowing from gaps during toner filling, thus avoiding environmental pollution or equipment damage.
