Abstract

A toner discharging structure and a toner cartridge are provided. The toner discharging structure cooperatively couples with a cartridge body to form a toner cartridge used in an electronic imaging device. The toner discharging structure includes: an accelerating structure, blowing blades, a toner mixing unit, and a toner discharging unit. One end of the accelerating structure is connected to the cartridge body. The blowing blades are connected to another end of the accelerating structure to allow a rotation speed of the blowing blades greater than a rotation speed of the cartridge body. The toner mixing unit is connected to the cartridge body, for receiving wind generated by the blowing blades. The toner discharging unit includes a toner outlet connected to the toner mixing unit.
