A waste toner pulverizing apparatus and a toner cartridge with the same
prevents waste toner removed from a surface of a photosensitive drum by a
cleaning blade from accumulating at a front end of the cleaning blade.
The waste toner pulverizing apparatus in accordance with an exemplary
embodiment of the present invention includes a waste pulverizing member
that is spaced apart from a front end of a cleaning blade that contacts
the surface of the photosensitive drum in a longitudinal direction, the
waste pulverizing member not contacting the surface of the photosensitive
drum, and a pulverizing member driving unit that makes the waste toner
pulverizing member reciprocate in an axial direction of the
photosensitive drum.
