Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] In the field of modern office automation, laser printers are widely used due to their efficient and clear printing performance. As the core component of laser printers, the performance of the toner cartridge directly affects print quality and efficiency. The waste toner compartment in the toner cartridge plays a crucial role in collecting unused toner during the printing process, ensuring the normal operation of the toner cartridge and the stability of the printing system.

[0003] However, in the current market, most toner cartridge designs prioritize optimizing printing performance while neglecting the impact of humidity levels inside the waste toner compartment on toner performance, and lack effective dehumidification mechanisms. During long-term use, the lack of dehumidification makes toner, magnetic rollers, drum cores, and other components highly susceptible to environmental humidity. High humidity causes toner particles to absorb moisture from the air, leading to toner clumping, reducing toner flowability, and potentially clogging the toner dispensing channels. Simultaneously, moisture affecting other components can cause problems such as poor fixing and blurry text during printing, severely impacting print quality, increasing equipment failure frequency, shortening toner cartridge lifespan, and imposing unnecessary consumable costs and maintenance burdens on users. Therefore, addressing the lack of dehumidification in existing toner cartridge waste toner compartments, an effective dehumidification structure is urgently needed to improve toner cartridge performance and print quality. Utility Model Content

[0004] The present invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, the present invention proposes a dehumidifying waste powder silo structure.

[0005] A dehumidifying waste powder hopper structure designed for this purpose includes a waste powder hopper, a scraper, and a drum core. The waste powder hopper is provided with a powder storage chamber and a dehumidifying chamber. The drum core is disposed on the waste powder hopper and located near the opening of the powder storage chamber. The scraper is disposed on the waste powder hopper and fits against the drum core. The dehumidifying chamber is used to place dehumidifying components and has an opening communicating with the outside.

[0006] Preferably, the dehumidification chamber is at least partially open, and a sealing element is connected to the open portion of the dehumidification chamber. The sealing element is connected to the waste powder bin, and the opening is located on the sealing element.

[0007] Preferably, the seal and the scraper are an integral structure.

[0008] Preferably, the sealing element is fixedly connected to the waste powder hopper by adhesive bonding, welding, or fastener locking.

[0009] Compared with existing technologies, the dehumidifying waste toner compartment structure provided by this invention effectively solves the problem of the lack of dehumidification function in existing toner cartridge waste toner compartments through innovative design. The dehumidifying chamber in the waste toner compartment can house a dehumidifying component, and its opening design, which connects to the outside, allows the entire interior of the toner cartridge to communicate with the dehumidifier, enabling air circulation. This allows the dehumidifying component to continuously absorb moisture from the entire interior of the toner cartridge. This effectively prevents the toner, magnetic roller, drum core, and other components from being easily affected by ambient humidity. It avoids problems such as poor fixing and blurry text caused by moisture in the components, thus ensuring print quality and reducing the frequency of equipment failures. Attached Figure Description

The drum core 30 is disposed on the waste toner bin 10 and positioned near the opening of the toner storage chamber 100. The scraper 20 is disposed on the waste toner bin 10 and fits against the drum core 30. The dehumidifying chamber 110 is used to house a dehumidifying component and has an opening 220 communicating with the outside. The dehumidifying waste toner bin structure provided by this utility model effectively solves the problem of the lack of dehumidification function in the existing toner drum waste toner bins through innovative design.

This prevents problems such as poor fixing and blurry text caused by moisture in the components, thus ensuring print quality and reducing the frequency of equipment failures.

[0022] When the toner cartridge is in normal use, the waste toner compartment is combined with the toner compartment. The toner is output to the drum core through the toner compartment outlet, and the waste toner enters the toner storage chamber through the action of the scraper.

[0023] See Figure 3 The dehumidification chamber 110 is at least partially open, which is designed to allow the dehumidification components to be placed inside the dehumidification chamber 110 during the production process. The open portion of the dehumidification chamber 110 is connected to a sealing element 210, which is connected to the waste powder hopper 10, and the opening 220 is located on the sealing element 210.

[0024] Furthermore, the sealing element 210 and the scraper 20 are an integral structure.

[0025] Furthermore, the sealing element 210 is fixedly connected to the waste powder hopper 10 by adhesive bonding, welding, or fastener locking. Screws can be used as fasteners to fix the sealing element 210 to the waste powder hopper 10.

[0026] Furthermore, the dehumidifier can be a commercially available dehumidifier.
