Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of printing consumables, and in particular to a consumable box and a consumable chip. Background Technology

[0002] In existing technology, printing devices need to communicate with the consumable cartridge. During communication, the printing device probe and the consumable chip are electrically connected. Generally, the consumable cartridge can be detached and installed relative to the printing device. During installation, the consumable cartridge can be removed and repositioned relative to the printing device probe, and then installed from top to bottom into the corresponding position on the printing device, so that the conductive plate (signal port) of the consumable chip contacts the probe. However, in some cases, due to issues such as installation force and posture, factory deviations in the position of the conductive plate or probe, or elastic fatigue of the elastic element of the printing device probe, poor contact between the consumable chip signal port and the probe may occur. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a consumable box and a consumable chip to solve the problem of poor contact between the consumable box and the printing device probe during installation.

[0005] The consumable box body has a first wall surface;

[0006] A consumable chip has a first surface and a second surface. The first surface is disposed facing a first wall surface, and an installation gap is formed between the first wall surface and the first surface. A plurality of conductive sheets are formed on the second surface.

[0007] A connector is located within the installation gap. The connector connects the consumable box body and the consumable chip, so that the consumable chip can move along a preset trajectory. When the consumable chip moves to the end of the preset trajectory, the multiple conductive sheets and the multiple probes abut against each other one by one.

[0011] In the consumable box described above, preferably, the preset trajectory is the movement trajectory of the consumable chip along the normal direction of the first wall surface.

[0012] In the consumable box described above, preferably, a plurality of conductive sheets are spaced apart along a first direction. Each conductive sheet has a first contact point and a second contact point. The first contact point is the contact position when the conductive sheet begins to contact the probe. The second contact point is the contact position when the consumable chip moves to the end of the preset trajectory. The line connecting the first contact point and the second contact point in the orthographic projection of the second contact point in the second direction forms a span interval, and the span intervals formed by adjacent conductive sheets have overlapping areas.

[0013] In the consumable box described above, preferably, the connector is an elastic member, which provides an elastic restoring force to the consumable chip when the chip moves along the preset trajectory.

[0015] In the consumable box described above, preferably, the corners of the consumable chip are formed with guide bevels.

When the consumable chip moves to the end of the preset trajectory, a plurality of conductive sheets and a plurality of probes abut against each other in a corresponding manner.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention uses a connector to connect the consumable box and the consumable chip, so that the consumable chip can move along a preset trajectory during the installation of the consumable box. During and after installation, the conductive sheet on the consumable chip can always be in contact with the probe, thereby ensuring that the probe and the consumable chip can maintain good contact and avoiding poor contact caused by installation problems or probe problems.

[0035] The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0036] Printing consumables are consumed continuously during use and are frequently replaced components on printing equipment. The consumable chip 20 is a component on the printing consumable, which can be an ink cartridge, toner cartridge, ribbon, etc. The consumable chip 20 can be a chip on the ink cartridge, toner cartridge, or ribbon. This embodiment uses an ink cartridge as an example to illustrate the relevant content, and the corresponding printing consumable chip 20 is the ink cartridge chip.

[0037] Reference Figure 1 as well as Figure 2 As shown, the present invention provides a consumable cartridge that is detachably installed into the mounting section of a printing device. The mounting section contains multiple probes. Specifically, see [reference needed]. Figure 10 As shown, the mounting section is provided with a probe holder 50, which includes a base 51 and a plurality of probes disposed on the base. The probes are thin metal sheets that can conduct electricity and are not easily worn. In one feasible embodiment, the plurality of probes are a first probe 52, a second probe 53, a third probe 54, a fourth probe 55 and a fifth probe 56.

[0038] The consumable box includes a consumable box body 10, a consumable chip 20, and a connector 30. The consumable box body 10 has a first wall 11, which is located on one side of the consumable box body 10. The consumable chip 20 is connected to the first wall 11 through the connector 30.

[0039] Reference Figure 1 as well as Figure 2 As shown, the consumable chip 20 has a first surface 21 and a second surface 22. The first surface 21 is disposed facing the first wall surface 11, and a plurality of conductive sheets 23 are formed on the second surface 22. The conductive sheets 23 contact probes during the installation of the consumable chip 20, and each probe corresponds to one conductive sheet 23. In the embodiments provided in this application, refer to Figure 4 As shown, the conductive sheet 23 includes a first conductive sheet 231, a second conductive sheet 232, a third conductive sheet 233, a fourth conductive sheet 234, and a fifth conductive sheet 235. From the initial installation of the consumable box to its complete installation in the mounting section of the printing device, each conductive sheet 23 has a corresponding probe, and each conductive sheet 23 and its corresponding probe are always in contact.

[0040] In one feasible implementation, the first conductive sheet 231 is in contact with the first probe 52 for sending or receiving data signals; the second conductive sheet 232 is in contact with the second probe 53 for receiving clock signals; the third conductive sheet 233 is in contact with the third probe 54 for receiving a power supply potential different from the ground potential and for providing power for the operation of the memory; the fourth conductive sheet 234 is in contact with the fourth probe 55 for resetting the data inside the chip; and the fifth conductive sheet 235 is in contact with the fifth probe 56 for receiving the ground potential.

[0041] Reference Figure 2 As shown, an installation gap is formed between the first wall 11 and the first surface 21. The connector 30 is located within the installation gap. The connector 30 connects the consumable box body 10 and the consumable chip 20, so that during the installation of the consumable box, multiple conductive sheets 23 and multiple probes abut against each other one by one. The conductive sheets 23 can move along a preset trajectory, so that the conductive sheets 23 and the corresponding probes maintain good contact.

[0042] Reference Figure 4 as well as Figure 5 As shown, multiple conductive sheets 23 are spaced apart along a first direction D1, where the first direction D1 is the width direction of the consumable chip 20. Each conductive sheet 23 has a first contact point and a second contact point. The first contact point is the contact position when the conductive sheet 23 begins to contact the probe, and the second contact point is the contact position between the conductive sheet 23 and the probe when the consumable chip 20 moves to the end of a preset trajectory.

[0043] In the embodiments provided in this application, the connector 30 has a variety of structures, and when in use, a suitable connector 30 can be selected according to the movement mode of the consumable chip 20.

[0044] Reference Figure 3 As shown, the connector 30 can be an elastic element. When the consumable chip 20 moves along a preset trajectory, the connector 30 provides the consumable chip 20 with an elastic restoring force. During the movement of the consumable chip 20, the elastic restoring force provided by the elastic element can support the conductive sheet 23 on the consumable chip 20 to always be in contact with the probe, thereby improving the contact stability between the conductive sheet 23 and the probe.

[0045] The elastic component can be a spring, torsion spring, hinge, elastic double-sided adhesive, or other deformable parts. On one hand, when the probe contacts the conductive sheet 23, it applies pressure to the conductive sheet 23. Because the connector 30 has physical thickness and occupies a certain installation space, this increases the pressure exerted by the probe on the conductive sheet 23, making the contact between the conductive sheet 23 and the probe tighter and more secure. On the other hand, since the connector 30 is a deformable (non-rigid) component, compared to rigid components, it can prevent the technical problem of insufficient installation space preventing the consumable box from being installed smoothly.

[0046] In one feasible implementation, the consumable box body 10 and the consumable chip 20 are connected by a spring. When the consumable box is installed, the probe first presses one end of the consumable chip 20, so that the consumable chip 20 and the first wall surface 11 form a certain angle α. When the installation continues, the consumable box moves towards the end where the probe and the consumable chip 20 form the angle α. Under the continuous pressing of the probe, the first surface 21 of the consumable chip 20 finally adheres to the first wall surface 11, and the conductive sheet 23 forms a stable contact with the probe.

[0047] If α is too large, the consumable chip 20 will be too warped, which will affect the installation of the consumable box. If α is too small, the contact between the conductive sheet 23 and the probe may be unstable, resulting in unstable installation. In order to achieve a better installation effect, the second direction D2 is defined as the orthogonal direction of the first direction D1. The second direction D2 is the height direction of the consumable chip 20. Adjacent conductive sheets 23 have a height difference in the second direction D2, and the span range formed by adjacent conductive sheets 23 has an overlapping area.

[0048] Specifically, refer to Figure 5 As shown, the first contact point between the first conductive sheet 231 and the first probe 52 is a, and the first contact point between the second conductive sheet 232 and the second probe 53 is b. During the installation process, the contact position between the first conductive sheet 231 and the first probe 52 moves from a to a1, and the contact position between the second conductive sheet 232 and the second probe 53 moves from b to b1. The projections of a, a1, b, and b1 on the horizontal line are a', a1', b', and b1', respectively. b' falls within the interval formed by a' and a1', thus achieving a better installation effect. Therefore, the position of each conductive sheet 23 on the consumable chip 20 must be limited to ensure that the span intervals formed by adjacent conductive sheets 23 overlap. The tilt direction of angle α is not limited here and can be determined according to the type of connector 30, the initial installation position, and the direction of force, as long as the span intervals formed by adjacent conductive sheets 23 overlap.

[0049] Reference Figure 6 As shown, the connector 30 can also be a sliding component, which includes a slide rail 31 and a slider 32. The slide rail 31 is disposed on the first wall surface 11, and the slider 32 is disposed on the first surface 21. The slider 32 is slidably engaged with the slide rail 31. Through the engagement of the slide rail 31 and the slider 32, the consumable chip 20 can move in a plane parallel to the first wall surface 11. Those skilled in the art will know that the slide rail 31 can also be disposed on the first surface 21, and the slider 32 can be disposed on the first wall surface 11; this is not limited here. In one feasible embodiment, the number of slide rails 31 can be one or more. The structure of multiple slide rails 31 can improve the smoothness of the slider 32's sliding, thereby ensuring the stability of the contact between the conductive sheet 23 and the probe.

[0050] Reference Figure 7 As shown, during installation, the consumable chip 20 moves from left to right, and the multiple conductive plates 23 on the consumable chip 20 also move from left to right. During the installation process, due to excessive installation force or deviations in the factory position of the conductive plates 23 or probes, the conductive plates 23 and probes may not be accurately aligned. The contact position between the consumable chip 20 and the probes can be adjusted by fine-tuning the sliding component. In the embodiments provided in this application, the length of the slide rail 31 cannot be too long or too short. If it is too long, it will cause misalignment between the conductive plates 23 and the probes, resulting in poor contact. If it is too short, it will not be able to fine-tune the contact position. To achieve a better installation effect, the span of the movement trajectories of adjacent conductive plates 23 and probes overlaps.

[0051] Specifically, refer to Figure 8 as well as Figure 10 As shown, the positions of each conductive sheet 23 on the consumable chip 20 are defined. For example, the first contact point between the first conductive sheet 231 and the first probe 52 is a, and the first contact point between the second conductive sheet 232 and the second probe 53 is b. During installation, the contact point between the first conductive sheet 231 and the first probe 52 moves from the first contact point a to position a1, and the contact point between the second conductive sheet 232 and the second probe 53 moves from the first contact point b to position b1. The projections of a, a1, b, and b1 on the horizontal line are a', a1', b', and b1', respectively. In the embodiment provided in this application, the projection b' falls within the interval between the projections a' and a1', and the projection a1' falls within the interval between the projections b' and b1', thereby achieving a better installation effect.

[0052] During installation, the consumable cartridge has a buffer space with the installation space of the printing equipment. Connector 30 is needed to correct the installation position of the consumable chip 20. If there is insufficient buffer space between the consumable cartridge and the printing equipment, the consumable chip 20 will not move, and connector 30 will lack the driving force to move. If the conductive sheet 23 and the probe are misaligned, the installation position of the consumable chip 20 cannot be corrected. Therefore, guide ramps 40 are provided at the corners of the consumable chip 20. In the embodiments provided in this application, the guide ramps 40 can pass through a portion of the conductive sheet 23. In one feasible embodiment, refer to... Figure 9As shown, the guide slope 40 passes through the first conductive sheet 231, and a guide slope is also provided on the first conductive sheet 231 to form a partial conductive area. The partial conductive area of ​​the first conductive sheet 231 is located on the guide slope 40. During the installation of the consumable box, the probe contacts the bottom of the first conductive sheet 231 located on the guide slope 40. As the consumable box continues to be installed downward, the probe generates a lateral (first direction D1) pushing force on the guide slope 40. Under the action of the connector 30, the contact point between the conductive sheet 23 and the probe can move from one end of the guide slope 40 to the other end of the guide slope 40.

[0053] The guide slope 40 can also be set at other positions of the consumable chip 20. Since a conductive sheet 23 can only contact one probe, it can only provide a portion of the lateral driving force. When multiple conductive sheets with guide slopes are set on the consumable chip 20, multiple probes can simultaneously generate lateral pushing force on the guide slopes of multiple conductive sheets, so that the consumable chip 20 can move more space, thereby achieving stable contact between the conductive sheet 23 and the probe.

[0054] The following examples illustrate the content of the present invention. Those skilled in the art will understand that more ways of moving the consumable chip 20 can be designed based on the following examples, all of which fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0055] Example 1

[0056] In this embodiment, the preset trajectory for the movement of the consumable chip 20 is the flipping of the conductive sheet 23 around the first preset axis line under the push of the probe.

[0057] Reference Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in one feasible implementation, the connector is an elastic member. In the initial state, the connector 30 does not deform, and there is a predetermined distance between the consumable chip 20 and the first wall surface 11. During the installation process, the probe and the conductive sheet 23 begin to contact, applying a force to the consumable chip 20, causing the consumable chip 20 to rotate along the first preset axis, so that the contact point between the conductive sheet 23 and the probe moves from the first contact point to the second contact point. During the installation process and after the installation is completed, the conductive sheet on the consumable chip can always abut against the probe, thereby ensuring that the probe and the consumable chip can maintain good contact and avoiding poor contact caused by installation problems or probe issues.

[0058] In another feasible implementation, the consumable chip 20 can be connected to the consumable box body 10 through two connectors 30. One end of the consumable chip 20 is connected to the first wall surface 11 in a hinged manner through a connector, and the first preset axis is the connecting line at the hinge. The other end (end or middle area) of the consumable chip 20 is connected to the first wall surface 11 through another connector. The connector 30 can be an elastic element or a magnetic element.

[0059] When the connector 30 is a magnetic component, it can include a first magnetic body and a second magnetic body arranged opposite to each other. The first magnetic body is disposed on the first wall surface 11, and the second magnetic body is disposed on the second surface 22. The magnetic properties of the first magnetic body and the second magnetic body on adjacent sides are the same. The magnetic properties of the first magnetic body and the second magnetic body should not be too large, so as to avoid the force exerted by the probe on the conductive sheet 23 being unable to overcome the magnetic force. During the movement of the consumable chip 20, since the first magnetic body and the second magnetic body have the same magnetic properties, based on the principle of like poles repulsion, the first magnetic body will generate a reaction force to produce elastic force, so that the conductive sheet 23 can make close contact with the probe, thereby achieving a good contact effect between the conductive sheet 23 and the probe. Preferably, the first magnetic body and the second magnetic body are magnets. Those skilled in the art will know that the first magnetic body and the second magnetic body can be other components with the same function as magnets, which are not limited here.

[0060] Example 2

[0061] Reference Figures 6 to 9 As shown, in this embodiment, the preset trajectory for the consumable chip 20 to move is the trajectory for the consumable chip 20 to move along the extension direction of the first wall 11. That is, the consumable chip 20 can be translated along the extension direction of the first wall 11 (first direction D1 or second direction D2), so that the contact point between the conductive sheet 23 and the probe moves from the first contact point to the second contact point.

[0062] In this embodiment, the connector 30 is a sliding component, which includes a slide rail 31 and a slider 32. The slide rail 31 is disposed on the first wall surface 11, and the slider 32 is disposed on the first surface 21. The slider 32 is slidably engaged with the slide rail 31. Through the engagement of the slide rail 31 and the slider 32, the consumable chip 20 can be translated along the extension direction of the first wall surface 11, ensuring the stability of the contact between the conductive sheet 23 and the probe.

[0063] Example 3

[0064] In this embodiment, the corner end of the consumable chip 20 is connected to the connector 30. The connector 30 is preferably a shaft (not shown in the figure). The shaft is fixed on the first wall 11. The corner end of the consumable chip 20 is pivotally connected to the shaft. The preset trajectory for the movement of the consumable chip 20 is the rotation of the conductive sheet 23 on the consumable chip 20 around the second preset axis as the center line under the push of the probe. The second preset axis is the axis of the shaft and is perpendicular to the first wall 11.

[0065] Furthermore, a spring is provided in the middle of the consumable chip 20, and the other end of the spring is connected to the first wall surface 11.

[0066] In the initial state, the connector 30 does not deform, and there is a predetermined distance between the consumable chip 20 and the first wall surface 11. During the installation process, the probe and the conductive sheet 23 begin to contact, applying a force to the consumable chip 20, causing the consumable chip 20 to begin rotating about the axis of the connector 30 (i.e., the second preset axis) as the center line. The contact point when the conductive sheet 23 and the probe first contact is the first contact point. As the consumable chip 20 continues to rotate, the contact point between the conductive sheet 23 and the probe moves from the first contact point to the second contact point, thereby ensuring that the conductive sheet 23 can always maintain contact with the probe, effectively avoiding the occurrence of poor contact problems.

[0067] In another feasible implementation, the corner of the consumable chip 20 makes point contact with the first wall surface 11 through the connector 30. The position of the connector 30 is equivalent to a contact point. The connector 30 is preferably an elastic element (not shown in the figure). The preset trajectory of the consumable chip 20 is a rotational movement trajectory with the contact point as the center point. During the installation of the consumable box, with the contact point as the center, the consumable chip 20 rotates from away from the first wall surface 11 to fit against the first wall surface 11.

[0068] Example 4

[0069] In this embodiment, the preset trajectory for the consumable chip 20 is the trajectory along the normal direction of the first wall 11. The consumable chip 20 can reciprocate in a direction perpendicular to the first wall 11, thereby moving the contact point between the conductive sheet 23 and the probe from the first contact point to the second contact point. The conductive sheet 23 can always maintain contact with the probe, effectively avoiding the occurrence of poor contact problems.

[0070] Based on the above embodiments, this application provides a consumable chip 20, which is movably disposed on the aforementioned consumable box. A connector 30 is disposed on the consumable chip 20 so that the consumable chip 20 can move along a preset trajectory. The consumable chip 20 is disposed on the first wall 11 of the consumable box through the connector 30. During and after the installation of the consumable box, multiple conductive sheets 23 and multiple probes are always in one-to-one contact, ensuring that the conductive sheets 23 of the consumable chip 20 and the probes can always maintain good contact, avoiding poor contact caused by installation problems or probe issues.

[0071] The above description, based on the embodiments shown in the figures, details the structure, features, and effects of the present invention. The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to the scope of implementation shown in the figures. Any changes made in accordance with the concept of the present invention, or equivalent embodiments modified to have equivalent changes, that do not exceed the spirit covered by the specification and figures, should be within the protection scope of the present invention.
