Abstract

A disassemblable imaging apparatus includes a photo sensing assembly and a toner cartridge. The photo sensing assembly has an accommodating space, a photosensitive side and a fastening side. The photosensitive side and the fastening side are respectively located at two sides of the accommodating space, which are opposite to each other. The toner cartridge includes a main body and a handle. The handle is swingably connected to a side of the main body in order to move an end of the handle, which is away from the main body, close to or away from the main body. The toner cartridge is detachably installed in the accommodating space, and the handle is detachably fastened to the fastening side of the photo sensing assembly.

Claims (12)
