摘要:
In a cartridge, a housing has a developer accommodating portion and includes a first side wall and a second side wall. A coupling member is disposed at a position opposite to the developer accommodating portion with respect to the first side wall. A detection body is disposed at a position opposite to the developer accommodating portion with respect to the second side wall. A first driving force transmission member is positioned at the same side with the coupling member with respect to the first side wall, and transmits driving force from the coupling member to a rotating member. A second driving force transmission member is positioned at the same side with the detection body with respect to the second side wall, and transmits driving force from a rotating member to the detection body. The rotating member includes an agitating member that is configured to agitate developer accommodated in the developer accommodating portion.

An object of the present invention is to provide a detection gear having a new configuration, or a developing cartridge provided with a detection gear having a new configuration. A detection gear is rotatable about an axis extending in an axial direction. The detection gear is provided with a protrusion that extends in the axial direction and that has an outer surface extending along a part of a circumference of the detection gear. The detection gear is further provided with a first engaging portion that extends along a first portion of the circumference of the detection gear and that is positioned closer than the outer surface of the protrusion to the axis in a radial direction of the detection gear. The detection gear is further provided with a second engaging portion that extends along a second portion of the circumference of the detection gear different from the first portion and that is positioned closer than the first engaging portion to the axis in the radial direction.

It is aimed to provide a developer cartridge provided with a detection gear having a novel structure. A first gear (transmission gear 400) includes a small-diameter gear portion 450 and a large-diameter gear portion 440 having a diameter larger than a diameter of the small-diameter gear portion 450. The second gear (detection gear 300) includes: a first columnar portion centered on a second axis CL2; a second columnar portion having a smaller diameter smaller than the first columnar portion; a first engagement portion (first gear portion 332) extending along a portion of a peripheral surface of the first columnar portion and engageable with the small-diameter gear portion 450; a second engagement portion (second gear portion 352) extending along a portion of a peripheral surface of the second columnar portion and positioned closer to a housing than the first engagement portion to the housing in an axial direction and engageable with the large-diameter gear portion 440; and a protrusion (detection protrusion 301) protruding in the axial direction and rotatable together with the first engagement portion and the second engagement portion. The second engagement portion is engageable with the large-diameter gear portion 440 after the first engagement portion is engaged with the small-diameter gear portion 450.

A developing cartridge includes first and second rotary members. The first rotary member is rotatable from a first position to a second position and from the second position to a third position, and includes a first gear part and a first rib. The first rib extends along an addendum circle of the first gear part. The second rotary member includes a second gear part and a second rib protruding outward in a radial direction of the second rotary member. The second rib is in contact the first rib during rotation of the first rotary member from the first position toward the second position. The second rib is separated from the first rib during rotation of the first rotary member from the second position toward the third position.
