The present invention relates to a powder filling device for regenerated powder cartridge box, which is used for powder filling of regenerated powder cartridge box of laser printer, copier, digital stencil duplicator, etc.
The powder filling of traditional powder cartridge box comprises opening the powder cartridge box which is exhausted with ink powder, filling the powder cartridge box through powder filling nozzle with bottled ink powder of corresponding type, sealing the powder cartridge box for use of the next time. Generally, in this kind of powder filling device, each bottle of powder corresponds to single type of powder cartridge box; and the amount of the powder in the bottle can only afford filling the powder cartridge box 1˜2 times. The filling device has to be abandoned after one time of powder filling. This is because the powder filling amount of every powder cartridge box is fixed; if the powder cartridge box is filled too much, the stirring device inside the powder cartridge box will suffer too much strength and the rotation will be influenced, even ‘locked’ so as to stop work. Besides, when the waste powder storage for collecting waste powder is fully filled, the printing effect will be seriously influenced. If the redundant ink powder is left in the bottle, it cannot be sealed strictly after opened and will be abandoned for caking. If the amount of powder filling is less than the allowable powder filling amount of the powder cartridge box, the amount of the print production of the powder cartridge box after regeneration cannot be insured. Therefore, filling powder quantitatively is a basic demand for generation of powder cartridge box, and each powder filling bottle generally used in the market has to be thrown away after one time of quantitative powder filling, resulting in environment pollution and waste.
Ink powder with large packages sold in the market are mostly packaged in moisture-proof plastic bag. The ink powder used in powder cartridge box can float following the flow of air for the small weight and tiny granularity, and very good fluidity. Because of the large packaging bag, general users without special powder filling tools can not fill the powder into the powder cartridge box, and can not used by users or maintenance men in-site. Therefore, for ink powder for regeneration of powder cartridge box, special powder filling device is needed to divide the ink powder in the large package into small bottles, which directly affects the convenience of the regeneration of the powder cartridge box and deepening development of environment protecting.
The present invention provides a multifunctional ink powder filling device for regenerated powder cartridge box, which can overcome the disadvantages of serious waste and high price caused by the fact that the filling powder can only be used once, and can change the disadvantage that large package of ink powder can not be used in in-site regeneration of powder cartridge box without special powder filling device. The powder filling amount is raised from 1˜2 powder cartridge boxes which one bottle of ink powder can fill to 7˜10 powder cartridge boxes, and the powder cartridge box can be filled for many times or many types of machines can be filled. The technical solution of the present invention comprises a bottle body, a powder-leakage prevention bottle plug, a powder filling nozzle and a bottle cover serving as a measuring cup at the same time, wherein the bottle plug is tightly matched and arranged on a bottle mouth of the bottle body and is externally provided with powder filling nozzle, the inner and the outer peripheries of the pedestal of the powder filling nozzle are respectively provided with inner threads matched with the outer threads of the bottle mouth and outer threads matched with the inner threads on the mouth part of the bottle cover, and the upper end of the powder filling nozzle is provided with a diminishing heavy-caliber powder filling hopper.
A light-caliber powder filling hopper is plugged in or connected through threads with the heavy-caliber powder filling hopper so as to be adapted to the needs of different powder filling nozzles of powder cartridge boxes.
The bottle cover is provided with scales serving as a measuring cup which can quantitatively measure the amount of the filled powder for different powder cartridge boxes at the time of powder filling.
Diminishing steps are provided on top of the inner threads on the mouth part of the bottle cover to be tightly impacted on the shoulders of the pedestal of the powder filling nozzle.
The powder filling amount of the bottle body is 7˜10 times of the amount of the powder needed by general powder cartridge box, and can be used for powder filling of many powder cartridge boxes of the same type or powder cartridge boxes of different types but use ink powder with the same standard.
The bottle plug comprises cylindric upright side and bottom, wherein the upper end of the cylindric upright side is provided with external protruding edge, the outer peripheries of the cylindric upright side are provided with several sealed protruding rings around the circle and tightly matched with the inner side of the bottle mouth.
The waist part of the bottle body is provided with grooves to be convenient for holding.
The advantages of the present invention are: the powder filling amount is raised from 1˜2 powder cartridge boxes which one bottle of ink powder can fill to 7˜10 powder cartridge boxes; the ink powder used for regeneration of powder cartridge box is filled in the bottle body; the bottle cover of the bottle body serves as a measuring cup at the same time and quantitatively powder filling can be carried on for different types of powder cartridge box; the inner part of the bottle cover is provided with powder filling nozzle and the size of the powder filling nozzle can be changed to adapt to the need of the powder filling nozzle of powder cartridge box with different sizes. The bottle plug is used to seal the residual ink powder after each time of powder filling to prevent environment pollution caused by leakage of ink powder and caking caused by moisture, so as to insure the use is not influenced.
Larger volume makes it possible that the powder cartridge box can be filled powder for many times and the price of ink powder each powder cartridge box used is lower. Multifunction and being easy to carry and use provides convenience for in-site powder filling of powder cartridge box by personnel.
Since general ink powder may correspond to powder cartridge boxes of machines of many types, great convenience is provide to offices and companies with machines of many types or maintenance men for regeneration of powder cartridge box.
According to
