一种显影盒

Abstract

本实用新型公开了一种显影盒，能够以可拆卸的方式安装至具有接电构件的电子照相成像装置，显影盒包括：壳体；显影辊；芯片，具有电接触表面；覆盖件在第三方向上覆盖电接触表面；覆盖件包括通道，沿第三方向投影，通道的至少一部分与电接触表面重叠；通道具有闭合状态和打开状态，通道能够在覆盖件接收外力作用形变时从闭合状态至打开状态；在打开状态，接电构件能够插入通道而与电接触表面接触；与现有技术相比，本实用新型的显影盒可以避免电接触表面与电子照相成像装置及其他物体进行碰撞，同时可以防止电接触表面受到撞击而损坏或者出现脏污，进而保障了电接触表面具有稳定的电性能，从而提高了显影盒与电子照相成像装置连接的稳定性。

Claims

1. A developing cartridge, detachably mountable to an electrophotographic imaging apparatus having an electrical contact component, the developing cartridge comprising: A housing for containing developer, the housing having a first side and a second side disposed opposite to each other in a first direction, and a third side and a fourth side disposed opposite to each other in a second direction intersecting the first direction; A developing roller, rotatable about a developing roller axis extending in the first direction, the developing roller being located on the third side of the housing in the second direction; A chip having an electrical contact surface, the electrical contact surface being located on the first side of the housing in the first direction; characterized in that the developing cartridge further comprises: A cover is positioned below the electrical contact surface in a third direction intersecting the first and second directions, and covers the electrical contact surface in the third direction. The cover includes a channel projected along the third direction, at least a portion of which overlaps with the electrical contact surface; The channel has a closed state and an open state, and the channel can switch from the closed state to the open state when the cover receives deformation under external force. In the open state, the electrical contact member can be inserted into the channel and come into contact with the electrical contact surface.

2. The process cartridge according to claim 1, wherein It also includes a support that can rotatably support the developing roller, the support having a chip receiving groove, the chip being supported by the chip receiving groove; In the third direction, the chip receiving slot is located at the bottom of the bracket.

3. The developing cartridge according to claim 1, characterized in that, It also includes a chip receiving slot that supports the chip, the chip receiving slot having an opening that extends through the chip receiving slot and the exterior of the developing cartridge in the third direction, and a cover located at the bottom of the opening and covering the opening.

4. The process cartridge of claim 3 wherein, At least a portion of the cover is configured to extend in the first direction, and the width of the cover in the first direction is greater than the width of the opening in the first direction.

5. The process cartridge of claim 1, wherein, In the first direction, the cover is close to the first side of the housing; In the second direction, the cover is close to the third side of the housing.

6. The process cartridge of claim 1, wherein, The cover is constructed as a sheet, and the channel is constructed as a closable channel opened on the sheet; The channel includes a first channel and a second channel that intersect each other, the first channel extending in the second direction and the second channel extending in a direction intersecting the second direction.

7. The process cartridge of claim 1, wherein, The cover is constructed as a burr layer composed of flexible fibers; The flexible fibers are staggered in the third direction.

8. The process cartridge of claim 1, wherein, In the third direction, the distance between the cover and the electrical contact surface is 0.2mm-2.3mm.

9. The developing cartridge according to claim 1, characterized in that, In the third direction, the thickness of the cover is 0.5mm-2mm.

10. The developer cartridge of claim 1, wherein, The third direction is perpendicular to the electrical contact surface.
