    Abstract: A driving unit for a photo conductor drum cartridge is assembled with a shaft of the photo conductor drum cartridge, including a gear and a conducting plate mounted on the gear. The conducting plate is provided with an elastic arm and defines an imaginary axis parallel to the shaft. When the elastic arm of the conducting plate is perpendicular to the imaginary axis, a distance L is defined between a distal end of the elastic arm and the imaginary axis. The distance L is longer than or equal to a radius d of an annular groove portion of the shaft and shorter than a radius D of the shaft. By means of this design, the driving unit can be reusable and provide a convenient detachment of a photo conductor drum.
