[0021] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a powder feeding mechanism 2 is provided inside the powder feeding port 13. The powder feeding mechanism 2 includes a funnel assembly 21, an internal threaded groove 22, and an external threaded groove 23. The inner wall of the powder feeding port 13 has an internal threaded groove 22, and the surface of the sealing cover 12 has an external threaded groove 23 along the circumference. The external threaded groove 23 is threadedly engaged with the internal threaded groove 22. A funnel assembly 21 is provided on one side of the powder feeding port 13. The funnel assembly 21 consists of a powder feeding hopper 211 and a threaded ring 212. A threaded ring 212 is provided on one side of the powder feeding port 13. The threaded ring 212 is threadedly engaged with the powder feeding port 13. One end of the threaded ring 212 is fixed to the powder feeding hopper 211.
[0022] When refilling the toner cartridge, rotate the sealing cover 12.

Then, take the threaded ring 212, insert the threaded ring 212 into the toner filling port 13, and rotate the toner filling hopper 211. With the thread engagement of the threaded ring 212 and the internal thread groove 22, the funnel assembly 21 is fixed inside the toner filling port 13. Then, toner can be added into the toner hopper 11 through the toner filling hopper 211. The toner filling hopper 211 makes it more convenient to add toner to the toner cartridge structure, thereby improving the convenience of adding toner to the toner cartridge structure.
[0026] After adding powder, the funnel assembly 21 can be removed, and the sealing cover 12 can be inserted into the powder filling port 13 and rotated to fix the powder filling port 13 and the sealing cover 12. At this time, the sealing gasket 32 is in close contact with the surface of the powder filling port 13, which initially seals the sealing cover 12 and the powder filling port 13. At the same time, the sealing ring 33 is squeezed into the annular groove 31 to perform a secondary seal on the sealing cover 12 and the powder filling port 13, so as to achieve the double sealing function of the powder box structure, thereby avoiding the phenomenon of powder leakage during the use of the powder box structure, and finally completing the use of the powder box structure.
