toner cartridge

Abstract

This invention relates to a toner cartridge, comprising a cylindrical body, a base, a slide, and a rotating member; the cylindrical body has an opening, the base has a cover portion fitted onto the opening, a toner outlet disposed on the cover portion, and at least one abutment top disposed on the outer wall of the cover portion; the slide has a body slidably disposed on the base, a through groove disposed on the body, and a first through hole disposed on the body, the body being movable from a first position toward the cylindrical body to a second position; the rotating member has a pivot portion pivotally connected to the slide, a receiving portion extending from the pivot portion and for the abutment top of the base to abut against, a push-door portion extending from the pivot portion, and a second through hole disposed on the push-door portion; when the slide moves from the first position to the second position, the rotating member is abutted and rotates due to the abutment top, and when the slide is in the second position, the toner outlet, the first through hole, and the second through hole are interconnected. In this way, when the toner cartridge is assembled into the electronic imaging device, the originally closed toner outlet can be opened and connected to the toner inlet of the electronic imaging device to input toner into the electronic imaging device, and toner leakage can be avoided during the assembly process.
