DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, but should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0020] The consumable box is an important component in the printing device. When the printing device is an inkjet printer, the corresponding consumable box is an ink cartridge that stores ink; when the printing device is a laser printer, the corresponding consumable box is a processing box, a developer box or a powder box that stores toner.

[0021] In order to store information such as the manufacturer's information, ink volume information, consumable box category information, and ink color of the consumable box, a chip is usually provided on the consumable box. The chip is generally fixed to the consumable box or to the chip mounting portion of the consumable box. Existing chip disassembly and assembly tools and disassembly methods make it difficult to disassemble it, or the chip may be easily damaged during the disassembly process, making it impossible to recycle it.

[0022] The present invention provides a chip removal fixture 20 and a chip removal method, which limit the chip 15 or the chip mounting portion (not shown) on the consumable box 10 to be opposite to the first opening portion 23, so that the heat provided by the external heat source can be transferred to the chip 15 or the chip mounting portion through the first opening portion 23, so that the chip 15 or the chip 15 together with the chip mounting portion are separated from the consumable box 10, thereby facilitating the recycling and reuse of the chip 15 and avoiding the waste of chip 15 resources.

[0023] A chip removal fixture 20 and a chip removal method provided by an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] In order to facilitate understanding of the solution, a consumable box 10 of the prior art is briefly introduced first. The consumable box 10 is generally used to be installed in a recording device (such as a printer), and the consumable box 10 stores ink. When the recording device records, the ink in the consumable box 10 will be displayed on a recording medium (such as paper, or other printing medium that can carry ink).

[0025] like Figure 1 as well as Figure 2 As shown, the length direction of the consumable box 10 is defined as the X direction, the width direction of the consumable box 10 is defined as the Y direction, and the height direction of the consumable box 10 is defined as the Z direction. The X direction, the Y direction, and the Z direction are perpendicular to each other.

[0026] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 as well as Figure 3The consumables box 10 includes a shell for containing ink, a handle portion 11 is arranged on the +X side of the shell, the handle portion 11 is arranged on the shell at an angle, a first clamping portion 12 is arranged on the handle portion 11, and the first clamping portion 12 extends along the X direction away from the handle portion 11. When installed on the recording device, the handle portion 11 is clamped with the recording device; an ink outlet 14 is arranged at the bottom of the shell (-Z direction) to discharge the ink in the shell to the recording device; a second clamping portion 13 is also protrudingly arranged on the -X side of the shell, which is arranged opposite to the handle portion 11 and is closer to the ink outlet 14 than the handle portion 11. When installed on the recording device, the second clamping portion 13 is also clamped with the recording device. Under the action of the first clamping portion 12 and the second clamping portion 13, the consumables box 10 is stably fixed on the recording device to achieve ink filling.

[0027] A chip 15 storing information of the consumable box 10 is also provided at the bottom of the shell. The chip 15 is arranged on the same plane as the ink outlet 14 and is closer to the handle 11 than the ink outlet 14. The chip 15 can be used to record information such as the amount of ink in the consumable box 10 and the number of times the consumable box 10 is used. When the consumable box 10 is installed in the recording device, the chip 15 can be electrically connected to the recording device to transmit the information on the chip 15 to the recording device. In order to avoid waste of resources, the chip 15 on the consumable box 10 or the chip 15 together with the chip mounting part can be disassembled and installed on a new consumable box 10 for reuse. The chip removal fixture 20 of the present invention is used for disassembling the chip 15.

[0028] In the embodiment provided by the present invention, the chip removal fixture 20 includes: The fixture body 21 has a receiving cavity 22 formed therein, and the receiving cavity 22 is used to detachably receive the consumable box 10. The consumable box 10 has a chip 15 or a chip mounting portion that carries the chip 15. When the chip 15 or the chip mounting portion needs to be detached, the consumable box 10 can be extended into the receiving cavity 22, thereby limiting the movement of the consumable box 10 relative to the fixture body 21. After detaching the chip 15 or detaching the chip 15 and the chip mounting portion together, the consumable box 10 is taken out of the receiving cavity 22 to achieve separation of the consumable box 10 from the chip removal fixture 20.

[0029] The first opening portion 23 is formed on the outer surface of the clamp body 21. The first opening portion 23 penetrates at least one wall of the clamp body 21, so that the first opening portion 23 is connected to the accommodating cavity 22. When the consumable box 10 is accommodated in the accommodating cavity 22, the first opening portion 23 is opposite to the preset area where the chip 15 or the chip mounting portion is located, so that the heat provided by the external heat source can be transferred to the preset area through the first opening portion 23. The first opening portion 23 can guide the heat provided by the external heat source to prevent the heat provided by the external heat source from escaping. The heat can be guided by the first opening portion 23 to directly reach the preset area without causing too much impact on other parts of the consumable box 10.

[0030] Based on the aforementioned chip removal fixture 20, the present invention also provides a chip removal method, using the aforementioned chip removal fixture 20, referring to Fig.23 As shown, the method comprises the following steps: S101: Position the chip removal fixture 20 on the consumable box 10 so that the position of the first opening 23 corresponds to the position of the chip mounting portion on the consumable box 10.

[0031] S102: Aim the external heat source at the preset area where the chip mounting portion is located.

[0032] S103: Using an external heat source to heat the preset area where the chip mounting portion is located.

[0033] S104: Remove the chip 15, or remove the chip 15 and the chip mounting portion together.

[0034] The chip retrieval method provided by the present invention realizes the recycling and reuse of the chip 15, so that when the consumables stored in the consumable box 10 are consumed, the chip 15 can be recycled. Not only is the recycling and reuse very convenient, but it also saves costs and greatly improves the reusability of the chip 15.

[0035] In a feasible implementation, step S101, first position the fixture body 21 on the consumable box 10, limit the preset area where the chip 15 or the chip mounting portion is located, in this step, the fixture body 21 is positioned on the consumable box 10 through the accommodating cavity 22, and then the first opening 23 on the fixture body 21 exposes the chip mounting portion where the chip 15 is located. In addition, in this step, the consumable box 10 can also be held by hand, without positioning the consumable box 10 in the accommodating cavity 22.

[0036] In a feasible implementation, step S102, an external heat source is directed to a preset area where the chip mounting portion is located. In this step, an external heat source of more than 180 degrees is directed to the preset area where the chip 15 or the chip mounting portion is located, and the temperature of the external heat source is set at 180-300 degrees. Too high a temperature may damage the chip 15 body, and too low a temperature may not achieve the desired effect. The external heat source can be a heat source tool used by the user in daily life, such as a lighter, a hair dryer, an electric iron pen, an electric iron or a heat welder.

[0037] In a feasible embodiment, step S103, an external heat source is used to heat the preset area where the chip 15 or the chip mounting portion is located; in this step, an external heat source above 180 degrees is used to heat the preset area where the chip 15 or the chip mounting portion is located, and the heating time can be 4-5 seconds. If a hot blowing method is adopted, there is no need to position the consumable box 10 in the accommodating cavity 22, and only a circular heating method is required along the periphery of the chip 15 or the chip mounting portion until the chip 15 can be removed.

[0038] In a feasible implementation, step S104, the chip 15 or the chip 15 and the chip mounting part are removed together. In this step, the chip 15 can be removed from the consumable box 10, or from the hot-melted chip mounting part, or the chip 15 and the chip mounting part are removed together from the consumable box 10. The chip 15 can be removed directly by hand or by using tools. The tools here can be tweezers, pliers or suction pens, or double-sided tape can be used to stick it down, etc., as long as the chip 15 can be clamped and separated from the consumable box 10.

[0039] In a feasible implementation, the method further includes step S105, wherein the chip 15 or the chip 15 and the chip mounting part are mounted on the new consumable box. In this step, the chip mounting part is firstly arranged at the position where the chip 15 is placed on the new consumable box, and then a double-sided adhesive is pasted in the chip mounting part. After the chip 15 is removed, it is directly pasted on, or the chip 15 and the chip mounting part can be pasted on with glue, resin or adhesive. If the chip 15 and the chip mounting part are removed, a mounting bracket or a mounting groove can also be arranged in the new consumable box, and the chip mounting part can be directly inserted without pasting.

[0040] The chip removal fixture 20 provided by the present invention positions the consumable box 10 through the accommodating cavity 22 and uses the first opening 23 to correspond to the preset area where the chip 15 or the chip mounting part is located, and uses an external heat source to heat the preset area where the chip 15 or the chip mounting part is located, so that the chip 15 or the chip 15 and the chip mounting part are separated from the consumable box 10 together, and the chip 15 on the consumable box 10 can be removed. It has a simple structure and is easy to operate, which solves the problem of difficult operation during the disassembly of the chip 15 on the consumable box 10 in the prior art, shortens the removal time, improves the removal efficiency, saves time and effort, and the chip 15 removal fixture has a relatively simple structure, and the manufacturing difficulty and manufacturing cost are relatively low, which greatly improves the reusability of the chip 15.

[0041] The present invention provides a chip removal fixture 20 and a chip removal method, which facilitates the separation of the chip 15 or the chip mounting portion and the chip 15 from the consumable box 10, and then installs the chip 15 or the chip 15 and the chip mounting portion on a new consumable box, thereby realizing the secondary use of the chip 15, improving the utilization rate of the chip 15, helping to save the cost of the chip 15, and having good environmental protection.

[0042] Several structural forms of the chip removal fixture 20 are provided below as examples for illustration. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that more variations can be designed based on the above, and no limitation is made here.

[0043] Embodiment 1 Reference Figures 4 to 12 As shown, this embodiment provides a chip removal fixture 20, including a fixture body 21, the fixture body 21 is provided with a receiving cavity 22, the receiving cavity 22 of the fixture body 21 corresponds to the shape of the consumable box 10, and can be sleeved on the consumable box 10 to prevent the consumable box 10 from moving during the chip removal process, such as Figure 2 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 as well as Figure 7 As shown, the accommodating cavity 22 forms openings at both side ends in the X direction and one end in the -Z direction of the fixture body 21, and the three openings are connected in sequence, so that the fixture body 21 can be mounted on the consumable box 10 from top to bottom in the height direction of the consumable box 10, and in the X direction, the length of the fixture body 21 is slightly smaller than the length of the consumable box 10, that is, at least part of the consumable box 10 is covered by the fixture body 21.

[0044] In other more embodiments, the shape of the clamp body 21 is not limited here, and the accommodating cavity 22 can also be open on both sides, that is, the accommodating cavity 22 forms openings at the two side ends of the clamp body 21 in the X direction; it can also be open at least at one side end of the clamp body 21 in the X direction, and the handle portion 11 and the second clamping portion 13 of the consumable box 10 can be exposed from the corresponding clamp position to ensure that the clamp body 21 is stably positioned on the consumable box 10.

[0045] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 6 as well as Fig.10 As shown, the first opening portion 23 is a through hole on the first wall 211 that penetrates the clamp body 21. The first wall 211 is located on the +Z direction side of the clamp body 21. This through hole connects the outside of the clamp body 21 and the accommodating cavity 22, so that heat from the outside can reach the accommodating cavity 22 through this through hole.

[0046] After the clamp body 21 is positioned on the consumable box 10, the first opening portion 23 corresponds to the preset area of ​​the chip 15 or the chip mounting portion on the consumable box 10, that is, the chip 15 or the chip mounting portion is exposed through the first opening portion 23, and the heat emitted by the external heat source reaches the preset area where the chip mounting portion is located through the first opening portion 23 for heating, so that the bonding relationship between the chip 15 or the chip mounting portion and the consumable box 10 is separated, and then the chip 15 or the chip 15 and the chip mounting portion can be removed from the consumable box 10 together. The external heat source can be a lighter, a hair dryer, an electric iron pen, an electric iron, a heat welder, etc., or it can be other heat source tools as long as it can meet the needs.

[0047] In a feasible implementation, Figure 8-Figure 12 As shown, the first opening portion 23 is in a trumpet shape, that is, along the Z-axis direction, the first opening portion 23 is open up and down, and the inner diameter of the first opening portion 23 gradually expands in the direction extending from the accommodating cavity 22 to the outside of the clamp body 21. The peripheral walls of the first opening portion 23 are inclined, and each peripheral wall is approximately trapezoidal. Each peripheral wall has an upper side wall and a lower side wall, and the length of the upper side wall is longer than that of the lower side wall, that is, each peripheral wall extends obliquely from bottom to top. The area enclosed by the four lower side walls is defined as a preset area where the chip 15 or the chip mounting portion is located, and the chip 15 or the chip mounting portion is within this area. This area can be larger than the preset area where the chip 15 or the chip mounting part is located, or it can be equal to the preset area where the chip 15 or the chip mounting part is located. Here, we prefer that this area is slightly larger than the preset area where the chip 15 or the chip mounting part is located, so that the bonding area between the chip 15 or the chip mounting part and the consumable box 10 can be heated around this area to melt the adhesive between the chip 15 or the chip mounting part and the consumable box 10, and the chip 15 or the chip mounting part can fall off the consumable box 10.

[0048] Those skilled in the art may also know that in some other embodiments, the structure of the first opening portion 23 may also be other shapes, such as a rectangular shape, a square shape, or other parallelograms, or a trapezoid, a rhombus, a pentagon, a hexagon, etc., which are not limited here, as long as it is convenient for an external heat source to heat the chip 15.

[0049] In this embodiment, Figures 4 to 12 As shown, a second opening portion 24 is also provided on the clamp body 21, and the first opening portion 23 and the second opening portion 24 are both formed on the first wall 211 of the clamp body 21, and the first opening portion 23 and the second opening portion 24 are located on opposite sides of the first wall 211, and the second opening portion 24 corresponds to the ink outlet 14 on the consumable box 10, and is used to position and expose the ink outlet 14, further positioning the clamp body 21 on the consumable box 10, and preventing the clamp body 21 from moving during the chip removal process.

[0050] Furthermore, the second opening 24 is circular in shape, which is the same as the shape of the ink outlet 14, and the diameter of the second opening 24 is greater than or equal to the outer diameter of the ink outlet 14, which allows the ink outlet 14 to be exposed through the second opening 24 and can be stably mounted on the outside of the ink outlet 14, further playing a positioning role.

[0051] refer to Figures 4 to 12 In this embodiment, when the chip 15 fixture is used: First, the accommodating cavity 22 is engaged with the consumable box 10, the chip mounting portion corresponds to the position of the first opening portion 23 on the fixture body 21, and the ink outlet 14 corresponds to the position of the second opening portion 24, so that the chip mounting portion is exposed through the first opening portion 23. Next, an external heat source is directed through the opening of the first opening portion 23 to heat the preset area where the chip 15 or the chip mounting portion is located, so that the bonding relationship between the chip 15 or the chip mounting portion and the consumable box 10 is released, until the chip 15 or the chip 15 and the chip mounting portion fall off from the consumable box 10 together.

[0052] Finally, the fallen chip 15 or the chip 15 and the chip mounting part can be mounted on a new consumable box 10 .

[0053] In this embodiment, the chip 15 can be removed directly by hand, or some tools can be used to remove the chip 15 from the consumable box 10 or install the chip 15 on a new consumable box. The tools here can be tweezers, pliers or a suction pen, or double-sided tape can be used to stick it down, etc., as long as it is convenient to clamp the chip 15.

[0054] Embodiment 2 As shown in FIG. 13 to FIG. 18 , this embodiment provides another chip removal fixture 20 . The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that: in this embodiment, the position of the first opening 23 is different.

[0055] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first opening portion 23 is arranged on the second wall 212. The second wall 212 of this embodiment is formed on the opposite sides of the fixture body 21 in the Y-axis direction. The first opening portion 23 is connected to the accommodating cavity 22, which is opposite to the preset area where the chip 15 or the chip mounting portion is located. This preset area is exposed through the first opening portion 23. The first opening portion 23 can be set to one or two. It is preferably set to two here. The first opening portion 23 is located on the opposite sides of the accommodating cavity 22 in the Y-axis direction.

[0056] Furthermore, if Fig.14 , Fig.15 , Fig.18 As shown, a limiting portion 25 is further provided at a position opposite to the first opening portion 23. The limiting portion 25 is a convex block structure. The limiting portion 25 is integrally formed with the clamp body 21 and extends from the first opening portion 23 to the outside of the clamp body 21. When the consumable box 10 is accommodated in the accommodating cavity 22, the limiting portion 25 and the two sides of the consumable box 10 abut against each other, that is, they are engaged on the two side ends of the consumable box 10, thereby further stably positioning the clamp body 21 on the consumable box 10.

[0057] Furthermore, a limiting cavity 26 is also provided on the limiting portion 25, and the limiting cavity 26 is recessed on the limiting portion 25. Preferably, the limiting cavity 26 and the limiting portion 25 are integrally formed, and the limiting cavity 26 is also connected with the accommodating cavity 22, and the limiting cavity 26 is directly opposite to the position of the chip 15. When the clamp body 21 is positioned on the consumable box 10, the chip 15 is accommodated in the limiting cavity 26, and the chip 15 may or may not abut against the limiting cavity 26, and it also plays a role in protecting the chip 15.

[0058] When taking out the chip 15, an external heat source needs to be used to heat-melt the chip 15 or the area corresponding to the chip 15 through the first opening 23, so that the chip 15 or the chip 15 and the chip mounting portion fall off from the consumable box 10. The external heat source here can be an electric iron pen, an electric iron, a heat welding machine, etc., or other heat source tools, as long as the chip 15 or the chip 15 and the chip mounting portion can be separated from the consumable box 10.

[0059] In this embodiment, Figures 4 to 12As shown, the fixture body 21 is further provided with a second opening 24, which is formed on the first wall 211 of the fixture body 21. The first wall 211 is located on the +Z direction side of the fixture body 21, and corresponds to the ink outlet 14. The ink outlet 14 is exposed through the second opening 24. By providing the second opening 24, the plane where the first wall 211 is located is more stably positioned on the consumable box 10, preventing the fixture body 21 from moving on the consumable box 10.

[0060] In this embodiment, when the chip 15 fixture is used: First, the fixture body 21 is engaged on the consumable box 10 through the accommodating cavity 22, and the preset area where the chip 15 or the chip mounting portion is located corresponds to the position of the first opening 23 on the fixture body 21, so that the preset area is exposed through the first opening 23, the chip 15 is received in the limiting cavity 26, and the ink outlet 14 corresponds to the position of the second opening 24.

[0061] Next, an external heat source is directed through the first opening 23 to the preset area where the chip 15 or the chip mounting portion is located to perform heat melting, so that the chip 15 or the chip 15 and the chip mounting portion are separated from the consumable box 10 together, until the chip 15 or the chip 15 and the chip mounting portion fall off the consumable box 10 together.

[0062] Finally, the chip 15 or the chip 15 and the chip mounting part that have fallen off can be mounted on the chip mounting part of a new consumable box 10 .

[0063] In this embodiment, other structures and descriptions are consistent with those in the first embodiment and will not be described again here.

[0064] Embodiment 3 like Figure 19-22 As shown, this embodiment provides another chip removal fixture 20. In this embodiment, the shape of the first opening 23 is rectangular, and the structure of the fixture body 21 is different from that of the first embodiment.

[0065] like Fig.19 As shown, the first opening portion 23 in this embodiment is in a rectangular shape, which is the same shape as the chip 15. The chip 15 is exposed through the first opening portion 23. The length of the first opening portion 23 is greater than or equal to the length of the chip 15, and the width of the first opening portion 23 is greater than or equal to the width of the chip 15. When taking the chip 15, an external heat source is directed through the first opening portion 23 to heat the preset area where the chip 15 or the chip mounting portion is located until the chip 15 or the chip 15 and the chip mounting portion are removed.

[0066] In addition, in this embodiment, as in the first embodiment, a second opening 24 is further provided on the fixture body 21. The first opening 23 and the second opening 24 are both formed on the first wall 211 of the fixture body 21. The first opening 23 and the second opening 24 are located on opposite sides of the first wall 211. The second opening 24 corresponds to the ink outlet 14, and the ink outlet 14 is exposed through the second opening 24. By providing the first opening 23 and the second opening 24, the plane where the first wall 211 is located is well positioned on the consumable box 10, preventing the fixture body 21 from moving on the consumable box 10.

[0067] like Fig. 20 As shown, the clamp body 21 is also provided with a receiving cavity 22 , and the clamp body 21 is positioned on the consumable box 10 from another direction via the receiving cavity 22 , and the receiving cavity 22 is communicated with the first opening 23 and the second opening 24 .

[0068] In addition, if Figure 21-22 As shown, a disassembly portion 28 may also be provided on the fixture body 21. In a feasible implementation, the disassembly portion 28 is a blade, which can be used to disassemble the chip 15 on the consumable box 10; the disassembly portion 28 is engaged with the fixture body 21 through the engaging portion to prevent it from moving on the fixture body 21; at the same time, in order to facilitate the disassembly of the chip 15, a driving portion 27 is provided on the fixture body 21. When the consumable box 10 is accommodated in the accommodating cavity 22, the disassembly portion 28 is opposite to the chip 15, and the driving portion 27 is used to drive the consumable box 10 and the disassembly portion 28 to approach each other.

[0069] In the initial state, the chip mounting portion on the consumable box 10 is away from the disassembly portion 28. When the driving portion 27 starts to work, the consumable box 10 and the disassembly portion 28 are driven to approach each other. Here, the consumable box 10 may actively approach the disassembly portion 28, or the disassembly portion 28 may actively approach the consumable box 10. The disassembly portion 28 removes the chip 15 from the consumable box 10 by disassembling the chip 15.

[0070] In a feasible implementation, the driving part 27 includes a screw, and an internal threaded hole is provided on the clamp body 21, and the screw thread is engaged in the internal threaded hole. When the consumable box 10 is accommodated in the accommodating cavity 22, the consumable box 10 is located between the driving part 27 and the disassembly part 28, and the consumable box 10 can move along the axial direction of the screw.

[0071] like Fig. 22 As shown, when the chip 15 on the consumable box 10 is placed upward in the accommodating cavity 22, and the chip 15 is close to the disassembly portion 28, the screw is rotated, and the screw moves linearly along the axial direction close to the consumable box 10 until it abuts against the consumable box 10, and the screw continues to be rotated to push the consumable box 10 toward the disassembly portion 28, that is, the chip 15 moves toward the disassembly portion 28, and then the chip 15 is removed from the consumable box 10.

[0072] However, when the disassembly portion 28 is damaged or the chip 15 cannot be removed, in order to continue using the chip removal fixture 20 and remove the chip 15 on the consumable box 10, it is necessary to reversely position the fixture body 21 on the consumable box 10, with the second opening 24 corresponding to the position of the ink outlet 14, and then the first opening 23 corresponding to the position of the chip 15, and the chip 15 is exposed, and an external heat source is used to heat the preset area where the chip 15 is located through the first opening 23 until the chip 15 or the chip 15 and the chip mounting portion are removed together.

[0073] The chip removal fixture 20 in this embodiment, through the arrangement of the above structure, can not only remove the chip 15 through the disassembly portion 28, but also can heat the chip 15 or the chip 15 and the chip mounting portion in a preset area by using an external heat source, and remove the chip 15 or the chip 15 and the chip mounting portion together from the consumable box 10, thereby increasing the service life of the chip removal fixture 20, being convenient for users, and saving costs.

[0074] In this embodiment, other structures and descriptions are consistent with those in the first embodiment and will not be described again here.
