Abstract
A positioning adapter is installed on a cartridge that is detachably disposed on a main body of an image forming apparatus. The main body includes a first driving head, a first conductive contact, and a first positioning matching part. The cartridge includes a storage apparatus, with a second conductive contact, and a first meshing part. When the cartridge with the positioning adapter is inserted and installed into the main body, a first positioning part is configured to cooperate with the first positioning matching part to position the first meshing part, stabilizing a transmission-connection between the first meshing part and the first driving head. A maximum width of an outermost contour of the first positioning part is greater than or equal to a maximum line distance between any two of multiple contacts where the first conductive contact contacts the second conductive contact on the transverse cross-section of the main body.
