Abstract
Disclosed is a developing cartridge configured to be removably mounted in a main assembly of an imaging apparatus. In some embodiments disclosed, the developing cartridge includes: a cartridge body; a drive force receiving unit including a coupling member, disposed at a first end of the developing cartridge, configured to receive a drive force from the imaging apparatus; a driving member, disposed at the first end of the developing cartridge, configured to receive the drive force and move; a transmission member, receiving a force from the driving member to cause at least a portion of the transmission member to move along a longitudinal direction of the cartridge body; and a detected member provided at a second end of the developing cartridge, configured to be driven by the transmission member.
Claims20
A developing cartridge removably mountable in a main assembly of an imaging apparatus along a front-rear direction of the developing cartridge, comprising:
- a cartridge body;
- a drive force receiving unit, provided at a first end of the developing cartridge;
- a driving member, provided at the first end of the developing cartridge and configured to receive a drive force and move;
- a transmission member configured to receive a force from the driving member, wherein the force from the driving member causes at least a portion of the transmission member to move in a longitudinal direction of the cartridge body;
- a detected member, provided at a second end of the developing cartridge opposite to the first end along the longitudinal direction of the cartridge body, the detected member being configured to be driven by the transmission member;
- and
- a sliding groove portion provided on an upper surface of the cartridge body, wherein the transmission member is at least partially mounted in the sliding groove portion, and the sliding groove portion is configured to restrict movement of the transmission member along an up-down direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction and a front-rear direction of the cartridge body.
A developing cartridge removably mountable in a main assembly of an imaging apparatus along a front-rear direction of the developing cartridge, comprising:
