[0043] As described in the background, the refill tape head ink cartridge will have ink leakage and ink penetration problems during transportation due to the increase in ink filling amount, which will affect the normal use of the refill tape head ink cartridge. The inventor found that the reason for this problem is that the ink filling amount of the refill tape head ink cartridge is increased, and the refill tape head ink cartridge has too much ink. During transportation, the refill tape head ink cartridge will have ink leakage and ink penetration problems, which will affect the normal use of the refill tape head ink cartridge.

[0044] In order to solve the above problems, the present application provides a refill tape head ink cartridge and a recycling method, a chip, the refill tape head ink cartridge comprising a cartridge body, a print head and a chip; the print head has an ink ejection chamber and a heater that can heat the ink in the ink ejection chamber; the chip stores small flow information. Through the chip storing small flow information, when the refill tape head ink cartridge is installed on the print body of the inkjet printer, the small flow information of the chip can make the print head eject smaller volume of regenerated ink droplets than the original ink droplets ejected by the original tape head ink cartridge, thereby reducing the ink consumption per page without affecting the printing quality, improving the printing page yield of the refill tape head ink cartridge, and abandoning the method of improving the printing page yield of the refill tape head ink cartridge by increasing the ink filling amount. The refill tape head ink cartridge can avoid the problems of ink leakage and ink penetration during transportation, thereby ensuring the normal use of the refill tape head ink cartridge.

[0045] The following detailed description of the regenerated ink cartridge with ink head, recycling method, and chip provided in the embodiments of the present invention is based on specific examples.

[0046] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment of the invention provides a regenerated ink cartridge 1 with a printhead, which is detachably installed on the printing body of an inkjet printer. The printing body has a power supply 20 and a controller 30. The controller 30 is communicatively connected to the power supply 20 and can control the voltage value of the power supply 20.

[0047] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the regenerated ink cartridge 1 includes a cartridge body 10, a printhead 11, and a chip 12. The cartridge body 10 has an ink storage chamber that stores ink. The printhead 11 is disposed on the cartridge body 10 and has an inkjet chamber 111 and a heater 112 that can heat the ink in the inkjet chamber 111. The heater 112 is electrically connected to a power supply 20. The chip 12 is disposed on the cartridge body 10 and is electrically connected to a controller 30. The chip 12 stores low flow information and is configured to cause the printhead 11 to eject regenerated ink droplets 113 with a smaller volume than the original ink droplets 1131 ejected by the original ink cartridge when the regenerated ink cartridge 1 is installed on the print body of the inkjet printer.

[0048] The chip 12 is configured to transmit low flow information to the controller 30 when the regenerated ink cartridge 1 is installed on the print body of the inkjet printer, so that the controller 30 changes the voltage value of the power supply 20, and the heater 112 heats with the changed voltage value of the power supply 20, so that the print head 11 ejects regenerated ink droplets 113 with a smaller volume than the original ink droplets 1131 ejected by the original ink cartridge.

[0049] The ink cartridge with the ink head completely depleted is the original ink cartridge. The ink storage chamber of the original ink cartridge is filled with ink to form the cartridge body 10 of the recycled ink cartridge.

[0050] The printhead 11 of the recycled printhead cartridge 1 is the printhead of the original printhead cartridge.

[0051] The inkjet chamber 111 includes multiple liquid chambers, each of which has an outlet.

[0052] Heater 112 heats the ink in each liquid chamber of the inkjet chamber, causing bubbles to form in each liquid chamber and ejecting regenerated ink droplets 113 from the outlet of each liquid chamber. The regenerated ink droplets 113 are sprayed onto the printing medium. The printing medium can be paper.

[0053] It should be noted that, as Figure 4As shown, before the regenerated ribbon head ink cartridge 1 is installed on the print body of the inkjet printer, the voltage value applied by the power supply 20 of the print body to the heater of the original ribbon head ink cartridge is the voltage value corresponding to the original ribbon head ink cartridge, and the heater of the print head of the original ribbon head ink cartridge is heated at the voltage value, so that the print head of the original ribbon head ink cartridge can spray the original ink droplets 1131 corresponding to the voltage value.

[0054] The chip 12 can be a chip formed by writing the small-flow information into the chip of the original ribbon head ink cartridge, or the chip 12 can also be a new chip into which the small-flow information is written, or the chip 12 can also be a chip formed by connecting the chip of the original ribbon head ink cartridge with a new chip into which the small-flow information is written.

[0055] The small-flow information is used to be transmitted to the controller 30 when the regenerated ribbon head ink cartridge 1 is installed on the print body of the inkjet printer, and the controller 30 can change the voltage value of the power supply 20 according to the small-flow information.

[0056] When the regenerated ribbon head ink cartridge 1 is installed on the print body of the inkjet printer, the heater 112 of the regenerated ribbon head ink cartridge 1 receives the changed voltage value of the power supply 20, and the heater 112 heats the ink in the inkjet chamber 111, so that the print head 11 of the regenerated ribbon head ink cartridge 1 can spray regenerated ink droplets 113 corresponding to the changed voltage value, and the volume of the regenerated ink droplets 113 corresponding to the changed voltage value is smaller than the volume of the original ink droplets 1131 sprayed by the print head of the original ribbon head ink cartridge, so that the print head 11 can spray the regenerated ink droplets 113 with reduced volume.

[0057] The regenerated ribbon head ink cartridge 1 provided by the embodiment of the present application stores the small-flow information in the chip 12, when the regenerated ribbon head ink cartridge 1 is installed on the print body of the inkjet printer, the chip 12 is electrically connected with the controller 30, the chip 12 transmits the small-flow information to the controller 30, the controller 30 changes the voltage value of the power supply 20, and the heater 112 is heated at the changed voltage value of the power supply 20, so that the print head 11 can spray the regenerated ink droplets 113 with reduced volume compared with the original ink droplets 1131 sprayed by the original ribbon head ink cartridge, thereby reducing the ink consumption per page without affecting the printing quality, improving the printing page yield of the regenerated ribbon head ink cartridge 1, and avoiding the problems of ink leakage and ink penetration during the transportation of the regenerated ribbon head ink cartridge, thereby ensuring the normal use of the regenerated ribbon head ink cartridge 1.

[0058] In a possible implementation, the voltage applied by the power supply 20 to the heater 112 is a pulse voltage.

[0059] The small flow information is information for reducing the voltage value of the pulse voltage of the power supply 20 applied to the heater 112. Specifically, when the remanufactured tape head cartridge 1 is mounted to the printing body of the inkjet printer, the chip 12 is electrically connected to the controller 30, the chip 12 transmits the small flow information to the controller 30, the controller 30 causes the power supply 20 to reduce the voltage value of the pulse voltage applied to the heater 112, the heater 112 receives the voltage value of the pulse voltage of the power supply 20 after the reduction, and the heater 112 heats the ink in the ink chamber 111 to enable the printhead 11 to eject the remanufactured ink droplet 113 with a reduced volume.

[0060] The voltage value of the pulse voltage of the power supply 20 after the reduction is the voltage value corresponding to the remanufactured tape head cartridge 1, which is less than the voltage value corresponding to the original tape head cartridge.

[0061] The voltage value of the power supply 20 after the reduction can be set according to actual needs. The volume of the remanufactured ink droplet 113 can be less than or equal to 4 picoliters.

[0062] In some examples, before the remanufactured tape head cartridge 1 is mounted to the printing body of the inkjet printer, the power supply 20 of the printing body applies a pulse voltage to the heater of the original tape head cartridge with a voltage value corresponding to the original tape head cartridge, which can be 24 volts. The controller 30 reduces the voltage value corresponding to the original tape head cartridge by a first preset value, which can reduce the voltage value of the pulse voltage of the power supply 20 applied to the heater 112, i.e., the small flow information can be information for reducing the voltage value of the pulse voltage of the power supply 20 applied to the heater 112 by the first preset value. In other examples, the controller 30 changes the voltage value corresponding to the original tape head cartridge to the voltage value of the pulse voltage of the power supply 20 after the reduction, which can also reduce the voltage value of the pulse voltage of the power supply 20 applied to the heater 112, i.e., the small flow information can be information for the voltage value of the pulse voltage of the power supply 20 after the reduction.

[0063] The first preset value is the difference between the voltage value corresponding to the original tape head cartridge and the voltage value corresponding to the remanufactured tape head cartridge 1.

[0064] In one possible implementation, the volume of the remanufactured ink droplet 113 is equal to 4 picoliters.

[0065] In one possible implementation, the small flow information is information for reducing the voltage value of the pulse voltage of the power supply 20 applied to the heater 112 and changing the pulse width of the pulse voltage of the power supply 20 applied to the heater 112.

[0066] The pulse width of the pulse voltage applied to the heater 112 by the power supply 20 can be increased or decreased. In some examples, the controller 30 decreases the pulse width of the pulse voltage corresponding to the original ribbon head ink cartridge by a second preset value, and the pulse width of the pulse voltage applied to the heater 112 by the power supply 20 can be decreased.

[0067] The second preset value is the difference between the pulse width of the pulse voltage corresponding to the original ribbon head ink cartridge and the pulse width of the pulse voltage corresponding to the regenerated ribbon head ink cartridge 1.

Figure 4 A schematic diagram of the original ink droplets 1131 on the paper 40 is provided for the embodiment of the present application, wherein the circles in the diagram represent an original ink droplet 1131.

[0069] In a possible implementation, as shown in Figure 3 The print head 11 sprays a plurality of regenerated ink droplets 113 onto the paper 40; in the length direction and the width direction of the paper, each of the adjacent two regenerated ink droplets 113 overlaps; in the first direction and the second direction of the paper, each of the adjacent two regenerated ink droplets 113 only contacts and does not overlap.

[0070] The length direction of the paper is the X direction, the width direction of the paper is the Y direction, the first direction is the L1 direction, and the second direction is the L2 direction. The length direction of the paper is perpendicular to the width direction of the paper, that is, the X direction is perpendicular to the Y direction; the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction, that is, the L1 direction is perpendicular to the L2 direction; the included angle between the first direction and the length direction of the paper is 45°, that is, the included angle between the L1 direction and the X direction is 45°, and the included angle between the L2 direction and the X direction is 45°.

[0071] The plurality of liquid chambers of the ink ejection chamber 111 of the print head 11 sprays a plurality of regenerated ink droplets 113 onto the paper under the heating action of the heater 112.

[0072] It should be noted that, as shown in Figure 4 The print head of the original ribbon head ink cartridge sprays a plurality of original ink droplets 1131 onto the paper. As shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, in the length direction of the paper, the overlapping area of the adjacent two regenerated ink drops 113 corresponding to the regenerated ribbon head ink cartridge 1 is less than the overlapping area of the adjacent two original ink drops 1131 corresponding to the original ribbon head ink cartridge; in the width direction of the paper, the overlapping area of the adjacent two regenerated ink drops 113 corresponding to the regenerated ribbon head ink cartridge 1 is less than the overlapping area of the adjacent two original ink drops 1131 corresponding to the original ribbon head ink cartridge; in the first direction of the paper, the adjacent two regenerated ink drops 113 corresponding to the regenerated ribbon head ink cartridge 1 only contact and have no overlap, and the adjacent two original ink drops 1131 corresponding to the original ribbon head ink cartridge overlap; in the second direction of the paper, the adjacent two regenerated ink drops 113 corresponding to the regenerated ribbon head ink cartridge 1 only contact and have no overlap, and the adjacent two original ink drops 1131 corresponding to the original ribbon head ink cartridge overlap; in the direction perpendicular to the paper, the projection area of the regenerated ink drop 113 is less than the projection area of the original ink drop 1131.

[0081] When the regenerated tape head ink cartridge 1 is installed on the print body of the inkjet printer, the heater 112 of the regenerated tape head ink cartridge 1 receives the changed voltage value of the power supply 20, the heater 112 heats the ink in the inkjet chamber 111, and the print head 11 of the regenerated tape head ink cartridge 1 can spray regenerated ink droplets 113 corresponding to the changed voltage value, the volume of the regenerated ink droplets 113 corresponding to the changed voltage value is reduced relative to the volume of the original ink droplets sprayed by the print head of the original tape head ink cartridge, so that the print head 11 can spray regenerated ink droplets 113 with reduced volume.
