阅读说明：本技术 具有编码构件和用于相对于编码构件定位传感器的对准引导件的墨粉容器 (Toner container having an encoding member and an alignment guide for positioning a sensor relative to the encoding member ) 是由 小维吉尔·约翰逊 兰德尔·斯科特·威廉姆森 于 2020-03-17 设计创作，主要内容包括：一种墨粉容器,其包括编码构件,该编码构件用墨粉容器的识别信息编码,并且可操作地连接到墨粉容器的输入齿轮,使得输入齿轮的旋转导致编码构件的移动,用于将识别信息传送到传感器。墨粉容器的第一侧面上的第一对准引导件包括顶部表面,当墨粉容器安装在图像形成装置中时,该顶部表面不受阻碍地从下方接触传感器壳体。第一对准引导件的顶部表面的至少一部分向上和向后倾斜,用于在墨粉容器插入图像形成装置期间接触并向上提升传感器壳体,以将传感器对准编码构件的暴露部分。(A toner container includes a coding member that is coded with identification information of the toner container and is operatively connected to an input gear of the toner container such that rotation of the input gear causes movement of the coding member for communicating the identification information to a sensor. The first alignment guide on the first side of the toner container includes a top surface that contacts the sensor housing from below without obstruction when the toner container is installed in the image forming device. At least a portion of the top surface of the first alignment guide is inclined upwardly and rearwardly for contacting and lifting the sensor housing upwardly during insertion of the toner container into the image forming device to align the sensor with the exposed portion of the encoding member.)
