Imaging box chip and imaging box

Abstract

The invention discloses an imaging box chip and an imaging box. The imaging box chip comprises a circuit board and a control circuit, wherein the control circuit is arranged on the side face of the circuit board and at least one conductive metal needle electrically connected with a smooth region of an elastic metal claw part of a contact mechanism fixed in a printer are arranged on the circuit board. In the applied technical scheme, the conductive metal needles are electrically connected with the smooth region of the elastic metal claw part of the contact mechanism. Each conductive metal needle is only extruded two times in the life process of the printer and the extrusion frequency of each conductive metal needle relative to that of a contact part of the contact mechanism is obviously reduced to ensure that the failure rate is decreased and then the connective stability is improved; in the mean time, when the contact part electrically connected with the imaging box chip in the contact mechanism loses elasticity, the imaging box chip is still electrically connected with the printer so that a user does not need to replace the contact mechanism, and if the conductive metal needles in the imaging box chip lose the elasticity, the user can replace the imaging box chip by self and then the maintainance difficulty is reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of printing equipment, and more specifically, to an imaging box chip and an imaging box. Background technique [0002] With the needs of economic development, printers have become necessary equipment for office work. In order to better output high-quality images and texts, the existing printing material containers, such as imaging boxes, are fixed with an imaging box chip with storage and memory functions. Used to record information about the imaging cartridge, such as the color of the colorant, the serial number of the imaging cartridge, and the date of manufacture. When the imaging box is installed in the printer, the imaging box chip is electrically connected to the contact mechanism inside the printer, thereby realizing the electrical connection between the imaging box chip and the printer. [0003] figure 1 Disclosed is a schematic structural diagram of an imaging cartridge chip, including a c...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

As the number of installation and removal of the imaging cartridge increases, the number of times the contact part is squeezed increases, causing the contact part to lose its elasticity when the life of the printer has not expired, which in turn causes the number of electrical connection failures between the imaging cartridge chip and the printer to increase and reduce connection stability

At the same time, when the contact part of the contact mechanism loses its elasticity, it needs to be maintained by professional maintenance personnel, which increases the difficulty of maintenance
