[0020] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0021] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the main shaft 1 is used to extend into the interior of the toner cartridge for cleaning. Three sets of suction pipes 7 are installed on both sides of the outer wall of the main shaft 1. These suction pipes 7 are used for vacuuming the interior of the toner cartridge. Six sets of cleaning rods 8 are installed on all four sides of the outer wall of the main shaft 1. These cleaning rods 8 are used to remove waste powder adhering to the inner wall of the toner cartridge, making it easier for the suction pipes 7 to suck it in. Two sets of cleaning rods 8 are installed between every two sets of suction pipes 7. Each set of suction pipes 7 has an air inlet 10 at its end, through which waste powder enters the interior of the suction pipe 7. Each set of cleaning rods 8 has a cleaning head 11 at its end, and each cleaning head 11 has bristles 12 at its end. When the main shaft 1 is rotated, the bristles 12 contact the inner wall of the toner cartridge, removing the waste powder adhering to the inner wall. After the waste powder is brushed off, a connecting pipe 9 is provided at the rear end of the main shaft 1, and a handle 2 is provided at the rear end of the connecting pipe 9. The connecting pipe 9 is used to connect the handle 2 to the main shaft 1. The middle of the connecting pipe 9, the main shaft 1, and the handle 2 are all hollow. The inside of the suction pipe 7 is also hollow and is connected to the inside of the main shaft 1. A hose 3 is provided at the rear end of the handle 2, and a vacuum cleaner 4 is provided at the end of the hose 3. The hose 3 is used to connect the handle 2 to the vacuum cleaner 4.
