[0019] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0020] Example 1: Please refer to Figure 1 A printer toner cartridge for easy loading includes a toner cartridge body 1. A mounting plate 8 is detachably mounted on the top of the toner cartridge body 1. A movable plate 2 is disposed in the middle of the inner cavity of the toner cartridge body 1. The sides and bottom of the movable plate 2 are slidably fitted against the inner wall of the toner cartridge body 1. The top of the movable plate 2 is slidably fitted against the bottom of the mounting plate 8. The inner cavity of the toner cartridge body 1 is divided into a movable cavity 3 and a storage cavity 4 by the movable plate 2. A threaded rod 9 is rotatably connected to the top of the inner cavity of the toner cartridge body 1. A threaded sleeve 11 is mounted on the top of the movable plate 2, and the threaded sleeve 11 is threadedly connected to the threaded rod 9. One side of the toner cartridge body 1... A first driving component 10 is installed on the outer wall. The output end of the first driving component 10 is connected to one end of the threaded rod 9. Several stirring components 12 are evenly distributed on the movable plate 2. The working end of the stirring component 12 is located in the storage chamber 4. The top and bottom ends of the storage chamber 4 are respectively equipped with a feed pipe 5 and a discharge pipe 6. The feed pipe 5 and the discharge pipe 6 are both set against the side wall of the powder box body 1. A valve 7 is installed inside the discharge pipe 6. The length of the mounting plate 8 is greater than the length of the powder box body 1. After the mounting plate 8 is installed on the powder box body 1, the mounting plate 8 is installed through the end of the mounting plate 8, thereby realizing the installation of the powder box body 1.

[0021] Please see Figure 1The stirring assembly 12 includes a first rotating rod 13 and a second driving member 14. The first rotating rod 13 is rotatably mounted on the side of the movable plate 2 near the storage cavity 4. The second driving member 14 is mounted on the side of the movable plate 2 near the movable cavity 3. The output end of the second driving member 14 is connected to one end of the first rotating rod 13. A plurality of stirring rods 15 are evenly distributed on the outer wall of the rotating rod.

[0022] Please see Figure 1 A first limiting rod 20 is connected to the side of the movable plate 2 near the storage cavity 4, and a second limiting rod 28 is connected to the side of the movable plate 2 near the movable cavity 3. The length of the first limiting rod 20 is greater than the length of the first rotating rod 13, and the length of the second limiting rod 28 is greater than the length of the second driving member 14. The first vertical rod and the second vertical plate prevent the movable plate 2 from moving excessively, thereby preventing the first rotating rod 13 and the second driving member 14 from contacting the inner wall of the powder box body 1. A ramp plate 21 is connected to the bottom of the movable plate 2 near the storage cavity 4. The bottom end of the ramp plate 21 slides and fits against the bottom end of the powder box body 1. The top of the ramp plate 21 is inclined downward toward the discharge pipe 6. The sum of the length of the ramp plate 21 and the outer diameter of the discharge pipe 6 is equal to the length of the first limiting rod 20. The ramp plate 21 allows the powder in the storage cavity 4 to flow toward the discharge pipe 6 for easy discharge.

[0023] Functional drive components such as the first drive unit 10 and valve 7 are all connected to external control circuits. Initially, the movable plate 2 is placed at the end of the powder box body 1 away from the discharge pipe 6. Powder is added to the storage chamber 4 through the feed pipe 5. When the valve 7 is opened to discharge the powder, the first drive unit 10 drives the threaded rod 9 to rotate, which in turn drives the movable plate 2 to move closer to the discharge pipe 6 through the threaded sleeve 11. This gathers the powder in the storage chamber 4 on the side closer to the discharge pipe 6. The second drive unit 14 drives the first rotating rod 13 to rotate, which in turn drives the stirring rod 15 to rotate to stir the powder and prevent the powder from clumping. The stirring rod 15 can be replaced with a spiral stirring blade. During stirring, the partial collapse of the powder can drive the powder in the entire storage chamber 4 to circulate and stir, thus stirring the powder that the stirring component 12 cannot reach.

[0024] Example 2: See Figure 1Based on Embodiment 1, a second rotating rod 16 is installed on the top of the movable plate 2 near the storage cavity 4. A cleaning roller 18 is installed on the end of the second rotating rod 16 near the storage cavity 4. Several brush strips 19 are evenly distributed around the outer circumference of the cleaning roller 18. The bottom end of the lower brush strip 19 contacts the top of the threaded rod 9. A third driving member 17 is installed on the top of the movable plate 2 near the movable cavity 3. The other end of the second rotating rod 16 is connected to the output end of the third driving member 17. The sum of the length of the second rotating rod 16 and the length of the cleaning roller 18 is equal to the length of the first limiting rod 20. When the movable plate 2 is reset, the second rotating rod 16 is driven to rotate by the third driving member 17. The second rotating rod 16 drives the cleaning roller 18 to rotate. The cleaning roller 18 drives the brush strips 19 to rotate to sweep off the powder adhering to the threaded rod 9. When the rotating plate is reset, the threaded rod 9 rotates, thus cleaning the entire surface of the threaded rod 9.

[0025] Please see Figures 1 to 5 The powder box body 1 has a mounting plate 22 installed on the inner walls of both sides of the top. The middle of the mounting plate 22 and the mounting plate 8 at the corresponding positions of the mounting plate 22 are provided with vertically connected insertion holes 23. The side of the insertion hole 23 is provided with a side groove 24. A rotating rod 25 is inserted into the insertion hole 23. The bottom outer wall of the rotating rod 25 is connected to a positioning plate 27 corresponding to the shape and size of the side groove 24. The top of the rotating rod 25 is right-angled. A torque spring 26 is sleeved on the upper part of the rotating rod 25. The top of the torque spring 26 is connected to the top of the rotating rod 25. The bottom of the torque spring 26 is connected to the top of the mounting plate 8. The torque spring 26 can reset the rotating rod 25 after manual rotation. In the initial state, the positioning plate 27 on the rotating rod 25 is offset from the side groove 24.

[0026] Combination Figures 3 to 5 After the mounting plate 8 is placed on the top of the powder box body 1, the insertion holes 23 on the mounting plate 8 and the support plate 22 are aligned vertically. Twist the rotating rod 25 to make the positioning plate 27 correspond to the side groove 24. Then insert the rotating rod 25 from top to bottom into the insertion hole 23. After that, release the rotating rod 25. The torque spring 26 drives the rotating rod 25 to rotate. At this time, the positioning plate 27 is below the insertion hole 23 and is offset from the side groove 24. The top of the positioning plate 27 is attached to the bottom of the mounting plate 8. The rotating rod 25 is then fixed in the through hole, and the mounting plate 8 is fixed to the support plate 22. Twist the rotating rod 25 to make the positioning plate 27 correspond to the side groove 24. Then lift the mounting plate 8 upward to remove it.
