[0047] 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.

[0048] In order to store the manufacturer information, ink volume information, consumable box category information, ink color and other information of the consumable box, a chip is usually provided on the consumable box. The chip is generally fixed to the consumable box by gluing or welding. The installation position of the chip is lower than the plane of the consumable box where the chip is located. Existing chip disassembly 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.

[0049] The present application discloses a chip disassembly fixture, which disassembles the chip carrier part along the edge of the chip carrier part by making the disassembly component, so that the chip carrier part and the chip installed on the carrier part are separated from the ink cartridge together, which is convenient for chip recycling and reuse and avoids the waste of chip resources.

[0050] To facilitate understanding of the solution, a brief introduction to the ink cartridge in the prior art is first given. The ink cartridge is generally used to be installed in a recording device (such as a printer), and ink is stored in the ink cartridge. When the recording device records, the ink in the ink cartridge will be displayed on a recording medium (such as paper, or other printing medium that can carry ink).

[0051] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the ink cartridge 100 includes a housing 101, a handle 102 and a convex portion 103, the housing 101 is used to contain ink, and the housing 101 is in a rectangular parallelepiped shape, and has a top end 101a, a bottom end 101b, a first side end 101c, a second side end 101d, a third side end 101e and a fourth side end 101f, wherein the top end 101a is arranged opposite to the bottom end 101b, the first side end 101c is arranged opposite to the second side end 101d, the third side end 101e and the fourth side end 101f are arranged opposite to each other, and the top end 101a, the bottom end 101b, the first side end 101c, the second side end 101d, the third side end 101e and the fourth side end 101f are connected to each other. The handle 102 is arranged on the third side end 101e, and the handle 102 is arranged obliquely relative to the third side end 101e. The bottom end 101b of the housing 101 is provided with an ink outlet 104 for discharging ink in the housing 101 to a recording device. The convex portion 103 is provided on the fourth side end 101f of the housing 101, and the convex portion 103 is provided opposite to the handle portion 102, and the convex portion 103 is closer to the ink outlet 104 than the handle portion 102.

[0052] The ink cartridge 100 further includes a chip 105, which is disposed at the bottom end 101b of the housing 101, and the ink cartridge information is stored in the chip 105. The chip 105 and the ink outlet 104 are disposed in the same plane, and the chip 105 is closer to the handle 102 than the ink outlet 104. In this embodiment, the chip 105 can be mounted on the housing 101 by welding. The chip 105 can be used to record information such as the amount of ink in the ink cartridge 100 and the number of times the ink cartridge is used. When the ink cartridge 100 is mounted on the recording device, the chip 105 can be electrically connected to the recording device to transmit the information on the chip 105 to the recording device. In order to avoid waste of resources, the chip 105 on the ink cartridge 100 can be removed and then installed on a new ink cartridge for repeated use. The ink cartridge chip removal fixture of the present application is used to remove the chip 105.

[0053] It should be noted that in the following description, Figure 3 As shown, the length direction of the chip removal fixture is defined as the X direction, the width direction of the chip removal fixture is defined as the Y direction, and the height direction of the chip removal fixture is defined as the Z direction. The X direction, the Y direction, and the Z direction are perpendicular to each other.

[0054] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the embodiment of the present application discloses a chip disassembly fixture, which includes a fixture component 1, a disassembly component 2, a force-applying component 3 and a positioning component 4. The fixture component 1 is provided with a positioning groove 111, and the positioning component 4 is installed in the positioning groove 111 for positioning the ink cartridge. The disassembly component 2 is installed on one end of the fixture component 1 and is located at the lower part of the positioning groove 111, that is, the disassembly component 2 is closer to the bottom of the positioning groove 111 relative to the top of the positioning groove 111, and the disassembly component 2 is used to disassemble the chip assembly on the ink cartridge 100. The force-applying component 3 can be movably installed on the other end of the fixture component 1, so that the force-applying component 3 and the disassembly component 2 are respectively located at the two ends of the positioning groove 111, and the force-applying component 3 is used to receive an external force to drive the ink cartridge 100 to move toward the direction of the disassembly component 2, so that the ink cartridge 100 can interact with the disassembly component 2, so that the chip assembly on the ink cartridge 100 can be disassembled through the disassembly component 2. The chip assembly includes a chip carrier and a chip. The chip carrier is mounted on the ink cartridge 100 or the chip carrier is a part of the ink cartridge 100 , and the chip is mounted on the chip carrier.

[0055] In this embodiment, when the ink cartridge 100 is accommodated in the positioning component 4 , an end of the ink cartridge 100 away from the disassembly component 2 is higher than an end of the ink cartridge 100 close to the disassembly component 2 .

[0056] When removing the chip assembly from the ink cartridge 100, the ink cartridge 100 can be installed in the positioning component 4, and the chip assembly is set toward the bottom wall of the positioning groove 111, and one end of the ink cartridge 100 provided with the chip assembly is set close to the disassembly component 2. At this time, the first side end 101c and the second side end 101d of the ink cartridge 100 respectively abut against the inner walls on both sides of the positioning component 4, thereby limiting the movement of the ink cartridge 100 in the width direction of the clamp component 1; the bottom end 101b of the ink cartridge 100 abuts against the bottom wall of the positioning component 4, so that the ink cartridge 100 is placed at an angle in the first positioning portion 41, and the end of the ink cartridge 100 where the ink outlet 104 is located is higher than the end where the chip is located, and the third side end 101e close to the chip faces the disassembly component 2. At this time, the ink cartridge 100 can move along the length direction of the clamp component 1 in the positioning component 4, so that the ink cartridge 100 is positioned by the positioning component 4, and then the chip is positioned, and then the ink cartridge 100 is driven to move in the direction of the disassembly component 2 by the force-applying component 3, so that the ink cartridge 100 interacts with the disassembly component 2, and then the chip assembly on the ink cartridge 100 is disassembled. It has a simple structure and is easy to operate. It solves the problem of difficult operation during the installation or disassembly of the chip on the ink cartridge 100 in the prior art, and greatly improves the reusability of the chip.

[0057] In this embodiment, when the ink cartridge 100 is accommodated in the positioning component 4, the end of the ink cartridge 100 away from the disassembly component 2 is higher than the end of the ink cartridge 100 close to the disassembly component 2. Therefore, in the process of the force-applying component 3 pushing the ink cartridge 100 to move in the direction of the disassembly component 2, the disassembly component 2 can disassemble the chip component on the ink cartridge 100 in a preset inclined path, so that the chip component is easier to disassemble. At the same time, the volume of the disassembled chip carrier is small, which is convenient for recycling and installation again, and the disassembly in the preset inclined path will not damage the original ink cartridge 100. The structure is simple and the operation is convenient, which solves the problem of difficult operation during the chip disassembly process on the ink cartridge 100 in the prior art, shortens the disassembly time, improves the disassembly efficiency, saves time and effort, and the chip disassembly fixture has a relatively simple structure, and the manufacturing difficulty and manufacturing cost are relatively low, which greatly improves the reusability of the chip.

[0058] The preset inclined path is formed by the tilting movement of the ink cartridge 100, the direction of the preset inclined path intersects with the axial direction of the force-applying component 3, the preset inclined path direction refers to the cutting path direction of the disassembly component for cutting the chip assembly, and the axial direction of the force-applying component refers to the axial direction of the driving member of the force-applying component. Figure 3 The X direction in .

[0059] Reference Figure 5 As shown, the chip disassembly fixture also includes a clamping portion 5, and the fixture component 1 includes a receiving portion 11, a coupling portion 12 and a mounting portion 13. The receiving portion 11 is provided with a positioning groove 111, and the positioning groove 111 extends along the length direction of the fixture component 1. The coupling portion 12 is located at one end of the receiving portion 11, and the coupling portion 12 and the receiving portion 11 are vertically arranged. The mounting portion 13 is located at the other end of the receiving portion 11. During assembly, the disassembly component 2 can be installed on the coupling portion 12, and the clamping portion 5 can be engaged with the coupling portion 12, so that the disassembly component 2 is fixed between the coupling portion 12 and the clamping portion 5; the force-applying component 3 can be movably connected to the mounting portion 13. In this embodiment, the receiving portion 11, the coupling portion 12 and the mounting portion 13 are integrally formed. It can be understood that in other embodiments, the receiving portion 11, the coupling portion 12 and the mounting portion 13 can also be separately arranged.

[0060] Reference Figure 6 As shown, the coupling portion 12 is provided with a groove 121, a limiting groove 122, a first clamping groove 123 and a second clamping groove 124, and the groove 121 is respectively connected with the positioning groove 111 and the limiting groove 122. The clamping portion 5 includes a first clamping protrusion 51 and a second clamping protrusion 52. During assembly, the disassembly component 2 can be arranged in the limiting groove 122, and the clamping portion 5 can be clamped to the coupling portion 12. At this time, the first clamping protrusion 51 is clamped with the first clamping groove 123, and the second clamping protrusion 52 is clamped with the second clamping groove 124, so as to stably fix the disassembly component 2 between the coupling portion 12 and the clamping portion 5 to prevent it from moving in any direction.

[0061] Reference Figure 7 As shown, the disassembly component 2 includes a cutter head 22 and a cutter body 21. The cutter body 21 is installed on the joint 12. The cutter head 22 is connected to the cutter body 21, and the cutter head 22 is arranged in the direction of the positioning groove 111. The cutter head 22 is a wedge-shaped structure. In this embodiment, the disassembly component 2 is preferably a blade, but the disassembly component 2 can also be other structures as long as the chip and the chip carrier can be disassembled. Preferably, the cutter head 22 and the cutter body 21 can be an integrally formed structure, or can be arranged separately.

[0062] Reference Figure 8 As shown, a screw hole 131 is provided on the mounting portion 13. In the length direction of the clamp component 1, the screw hole 131 is arranged on the other end opposite to the coupling portion 12. On the clamp component 1, the coupling portion 12, the accommodating portion 11 and the screw hole 131 are sequentially arranged in the length direction of the clamp component 1, and the coupling portion 12 and the screw hole 131 are both connected to the positioning groove 111. The force-applying component 3 is threadedly connected to the screw hole 131, so that the force-applying component 3 can move and rotate in the screw hole 131.

[0063] Reference Fig. 9 As shown, the force-applying component 3 includes a driving member 31 and a handle 32, the handle 32 is connected to the driving member 31, and the driving member 31 is threadedly connected to the screw hole 131. The handle 32 can receive external force to drive the driving member 31 to move on the fixture body, so as to push the ink cartridge 100 to move and remove the chip 105. Specifically, the driving member 31 is set as a cylindrical structural member, and the outer circumferential surface of the driving member 31 is provided with an external thread. The driving member 31 is installed in the screw hole 131 through the external thread and the internal thread in the screw hole 131, and the driving member 31 can move and rotate in the screw hole 131 through the external thread and the internal thread in the screw hole 131. One end of the driving member 31 connected to the handle 32 extends out of the fixture component 1, and the other end of the driving member 31 passes through the screw hole 131 and falls into the positioning groove 111 and abuts against the convex portion 103 on the fourth side end 101f of the ink cartridge 100. When in use, the handle 32 can be rotated outside the clamp component 1, so that the driving member 31 can rotate in the screw hole 131, and one end of the driving member 31 in the positioning groove 111 pushes the ink cartridge 100 in the positioning groove 111 toward the disassembly component 2, so that the disassembly component 2 can disassemble the chip and the chip carrier. In some other embodiments, the driving member 31 can also be a prismatic structural member, which is not limited here.

[0064] Further, the length of the driving member 31 can be set according to the requirements, so that the moving distance of the ink cartridge 100 is limited, and the distance of the chip and the chip bearing part on the ink cartridge 100 removed by the disassembly component 2 is also limited, that is, the position of the cutter head 22 on the disassembly component 2 inserted into the shell 101 of the ink cartridge 100 is fixed. In addition, in some other embodiments, a limiter (not shown in the figure) can also be set on the outer end surface of the mounting portion 13 away from the positioning groove 111, and the distance between the limiter and the outer end surface of the mounting portion 13 is set according to the requirements. Specifically, the limiter is set toward the handle 32 and can abut against the handle 32. The limiter limits the further movement of the handle 32, thereby ensuring that the moving distance of the ink cartridge 100 toward the disassembly component 2 is limited, and the ink cartridge 100 no longer moves. The disassembly component 2 cuts the bearing part where the chip is located from one end to the other end, thereby cutting off the chip and the bearing part where the chip is located from the shell 101 of the ink cartridge 100.

[0065] In this embodiment, the positioning component 4 is movably connected to the clamp component 1, so that the positioning component 4 can move together with the ink cartridge 100. When the force applying component 3 applies a force to the ink cartridge 100 to push the ink cartridge 100 to move toward the disassembly component 2, the ink cartridge 100 and the positioning component 4 move together toward the disassembly component 2.

[0066] Also refer to Figure 8 and Fig.10 As shown, the bottom wall of the positioning groove 111 is provided with a guide portion 112, and the outer side of the bottom wall of the positioning component 4 is provided with a guided portion 42, and the guided portion 42 and the guide portion 112 can cooperate with each other to guide the movement of the positioning component 4, and guide the positioning component 4 to move along the length extension direction of the positioning groove 111. The two opposite outer side walls of the positioning component 4 are respectively provided with abutment portions 43, and the abutment portions 43 protrude from the outer side walls of the positioning component 4, and the abutment portions 43 abut against the inner wall of the positioning groove 111, so as to reduce the contact area between the positioning component 4 and the inner wall of the positioning groove 111, thereby reducing the friction between the positioning component 4 and the inner wall of the positioning groove 111, and making the movement of the positioning component 4 smoother.

[0067] In this embodiment, the guide portion 112 can be set as a guide groove, and the guided portion 42 can be set as a guide protrusion, and the guide protrusion can move in the guide groove. In other embodiments, the guide portion 112 can also be set as a guide protrusion, and the guided portion 42 can also be set as a guide groove.

[0068] Reference Fig.11 As shown, during assembly, the positioning component 4 can be directly placed in the positioning groove 111 , so that the guided portion 42 extends into the guiding portion 112 , and the abutting portion 43 abuts against the inner wall of the positioning groove 111 .

[0069] Reference Fig.12As shown, the bottom wall of the positioning component 4 is provided with a first positioning portion 41 and a first supporting portion 45. The first positioning portion 41 can be positioned and engaged with the ink outlet 104 of the ink cartridge 100 to position the ink cartridge 100. In this embodiment, the first positioning portion 41 is set as a positioning groove. The end of the first supporting portion 45 close to the first positioning portion 41 is higher than the end of the first supporting portion 45 away from the first positioning portion 41, and is used to support the bottom end 101b of the ink cartridge 100, so that when the ink cartridge 100 is installed in the positioning component 4, the end of the ink cartridge 100 with the ink outlet 104 is higher than the end of the ink cartridge 100 with the chip, so that when the ink cartridge moves toward the disassembly component 2 along with the positioning component 4, the disassembly component 2 can disassemble the chip assembly in a preset inclined path.

[0070] In order to facilitate the fixing of the ink cartridge, the inner wall of the positioning component 4 is provided with a clamping portion 44, which is used to limit the ink cartridge 100 in the width direction of the ink cartridge 100, prevent the ink cartridge 100 from moving in the width direction, and limit the ink cartridge 100 to move in the length direction of the ink cartridge 100. The clamping portion 44 can be provided on one inner wall of the positioning component 4, or on two opposite inner walls of the positioning component 4. In this embodiment, by providing a positioning portion on the positioning component that can be mutually clamped and positioned with the ink outlet of the ink cartridge, the chip and the chip carrier on the ink cartridge are cut more stably during the disassembly process, and the blade is not easy to break.

[0071] In some embodiments, the snap-fitting portion 44 may be configured as an elastic member, so that ink cartridges 100 of different volumes may be adapted by compressing the elastic member to different amounts. For example, when a large-volume ink cartridge 100 is installed on the positioning component 4, the large-volume ink cartridge 100 compresses the snap-fitting portion 44 to a greater extent. When a small-volume ink cartridge 100 is installed on the positioning component 4, the small-volume ink cartridge 100 compresses the snap-fitting portion 44 to a lesser extent. However, both methods can achieve positioning of the ink cartridge 100.

[0072] In other embodiments, there may be multiple positioning components 4, and the sizes of the snap-fitting portions 44 provided on the inner walls of the positioning components 4 are different, or the protrusion degrees of the snap-fitting portions 44 on the inner walls of the positioning components 4 are different, so that each positioning component 4 can adapt to ink cartridges 100 of different volumes.

[0073] When the chip removal fixture of this embodiment is used: First, the ink cartridge 100 is placed in the positioning component 4 on the fixture component 1 , so that the chip component of the ink cartridge 100 faces the bottom wall of the positioning groove 111 , and the end of the ink cartridge 100 where the chip component is located is close to the disassembly component 2 .

[0074] Then, the handle 32 of the force-applying component 3 is rotated to rotate the driving member 31 on the fixture component 1, thereby pushing the ink cartridge 100 to move in the positioning groove 111, so that the cutter head 22 of the disassembly component 2 disassembles the chip along the inclined ink cartridge 100 and extends into the shell 101 of the ink cartridge 100, that is, the bearing part where the chip is located. Then, the force-applying component 3 is continuously rotated to push the ink cartridge 100 to continue to move until the handle 32 cannot be rotated, and the disassembly component 2 cuts off the bearing part where the chip is located, so that the chip and the bearing part are disassembled from the shell 101 of the ink cartridge 100.

[0075] In this step, if the carrier portion where the chip is located cannot be completely removed by the disassembly portion, the user can tear it off by hand or remove it with tools.

[0076] Finally, the removed chip or the chip and the chip carrier can be installed on the chip mounting portion 13 of the new ink cartridge 100 .

[0077] Embodiment 2 Based on the above embodiments, the present application further discloses another specific implementation manner. The main difference between this embodiment and the above embodiments is that the positioning component 4 in this embodiment cannot move with the movement of the ink cartridge 100 .

[0078] Reference Figures 13 to 15 As shown, the positioning component 4 is detachably mounted in the positioning groove 111, and a receiving groove 40 is provided on the positioning component 4. The receiving groove 40 is formed by two side walls and a bottom wall, and a clamping portion 44 is further provided on the inner peripheral walls of the two side walls, and the clamping portion 44 is used to position the ink cartridge for stable placement, and a limited portion 46 is provided on the outer peripheral walls of the two side walls protruding outwards, and the number of the limited portions 46 is two, and it can also be set to multiple.

[0079] Reference Fig.16 As shown, the positioning groove 111 is provided with a notch 114 and a limiting portion 113. The notch 114 is provided at the bottom wall of the positioning groove 111 and close to the side wall. The limiting portion 113 is provided at the end of the inner peripheral wall of the side wall and is recessed toward the inner peripheral wall. When the positioning component 4 is installed in the positioning groove 111, the two side walls of the positioning component 4 are respectively penetrated from the bottom of the positioning groove 111 through the notch 114 until the limited portion 46 on the positioning component 4 is engaged and fixed with the limiting portion 113 in the positioning groove 111. At the same time, the top ends of the two side walls of the positioning component 4 are also provided with guide protrusions 47. The guide protrusions 47 are protruding from the top ends of the side walls and are used to guide the positioning component 4 to be correctly inserted into the positioning groove 111. When the positioning component 4 is removed, it is only necessary to pinch the guide protrusions 47 toward each other to disengage the limited portion 46 from the engagement of the limiting portion 113.

[0080] In this embodiment, the limiting portion 113 can be set as a limiting groove, and the limited portion 46 can be set as a limiting protrusion, and the limiting protrusion can cooperate with the limiting groove to achieve the limiting of the positioning component 4. It can be understood that in other embodiments, the limiting portion 113 can also be set as a limiting protrusion, and the limited portion 46 can also be set as a limiting groove.

[0081] Reference Fig.17 As shown, the bottom wall of the positioning groove 111 is also provided with a second supporting portion 115, a third supporting portion 116 and a second positioning portion 117, the second supporting portion 115 is located at one end of the bottom wall of the positioning groove 111 close to the force-applying component 3, the third supporting portion 116 and the second positioning portion 117 are both located at one end of the bottom wall of the positioning groove 111 close to the disassembly component 2, and the third supporting portion 116 is higher than the second supporting portion 115, and the second positioning portion 117 is higher than the third supporting portion 116. The second supporting portion 115 is used to support the ink outlet 104 of the ink cartridge 100, the third supporting portion 116 is used to support the bottom end of the ink cartridge 100, and the second positioning portion 117 is used to support one end of the ink cartridge 100 with a chip, so that the ink cartridge 100 can be tilted according to a preset tilt height when installed in the positioning component 4.

[0082] In this embodiment, the second support portion 115 and the third support portion 116 are both configured as multiple rib structures, and the length of the ribs extends along the length direction of the positioning groove 111. The second positioning portion 117 is configured as two bumps, and the two bumps are located on both sides of the third support portion 116 respectively.

[0083] In the present embodiment, since the positioning component 4 does not move with the ink cartridge, the ink outlet does not engage with the positioning component 4, but the protruding height of the ink outlet is too high, which will affect the cutting quality. Therefore, it is necessary to set a second positioning portion 117 on the bottom wall of the positioning groove 111 facing the chip. The ink cartridge position where the chip is located is raised by the second positioning portion 117, so that the tilt height of the ink cartridge 100 meets the preset requirements, and then when the ink cartridge 100 moves toward the disassembly component 2, the disassembly component 2 can disassemble the chip assembly according to the preset tilt path.

[0084] In other embodiments, an inclined portion and an escape portion may also be provided on the bottom wall of the positioning groove 111, wherein the end of the inclined portion close to the force-applying component is higher than the end of the inclined portion close to the disassembly component, and the inclined portion is used to support the bottom end portion 101b of the ink cartridge 100, so that the ink cartridge 100 can be inclined at a preset inclined height when installed in the positioning groove 111. The escape portion is used to escape the ink outlet of the ink cartridge 100, ensuring that the ink cartridge will not affect the ink outlet when moving. When the ink cartridge moves toward the disassembly component, the disassembly component can disassemble the chip assembly according to a preset inclined path. Exemplarily, the inclined portion can be set as two rib structures distributed at intervals, the length of the rib extends along the length direction of the positioning groove, and the height of the rib close to the force-applying component is higher than the height of the rib close to the disassembly component. The two ribs are used to support the bottom ends on both sides of the ink outlet, and the space between the two ribs forms an escape portion, and the ink outlet of the ink cartridge is located in the escape portion.

[0085] In addition, the dimensions of the coupling portion 12, the disassembly component 2 and the clamping portion 5 of this embodiment are also different from those of the first embodiment, but their structures and connection methods are basically the same and will not be described in detail here.

[0086] Embodiment 3 Reference Fig.18 and Fig.19 As shown, the main difference between this embodiment and the above-mentioned embodiment is that the volume of the positioning groove in this embodiment is larger than that of the positioning groove in the above-mentioned embodiment. In this embodiment, when removing the chip assembly on the large ink cartridge, the large ink cartridge 100 can be directly placed in the positioning groove 111, and then the large ink cartridge 100 is driven to move toward the direction of the disassembly component 2 by the force-applying component 3, so that the disassembly component 2 can remove the chip assembly on the large ink cartridge; when removing the chip assembly on the small ink cartridge, the positioning component can be first installed in the positioning groove 111, and then the small ink cartridge is placed in the positioning component, and then the small ink cartridge 100 is driven to move toward the direction of the disassembly component 2 by the force-applying component 3, so that the disassembly component 2 can remove the chip assembly on the small ink cartridge.

[0087] Specifically, when removing the chip assembly on the large ink cartridge, the large ink cartridge 100 is directly placed in the positioning groove 111, but the large ink cartridge is relatively large in size, and when placed in the positioning groove, the positioning groove may be deformed or the positioning groove may not support the large ink cartridge enough, which will lead to instability during disassembly and affect the use of the removed chip assembly. Based on the above, in this embodiment, a fourth support portion 118 is also provided on the inner side wall of the positioning groove 111, and the fourth support portion 118 is used to support the bottom of the large ink cartridge and reduce the pressure of the large ink cartridge on the positioning groove. The fourth support portion 118 here can be a convex rib protruding from the inner side wall of the positioning groove 111, which can be arranged on the inner side wall at intervals or continuously on the inner side wall.

[0088] Reference Fig. 20 As shown, based on the above embodiments, the embodiments of the present application further disclose a chip disassembly method, which includes the steps of: S11, placing the ink cartridge in the positioning groove, with the ink outlet and the chip assembly facing the bottom wall of the positioning groove, and the end of the ink cartridge with the chip assembly being arranged close to the disassembly component.

[0089] S12, rotating the force-applying component to push the ink cartridge toward the direction of the disassembly component, so that the disassembly component can disassemble the chip assembly on the ink cartridge along a preset inclined path.

[0090] Specifically, in step S11, the positioning component may be first installed in the positioning groove of the fixture component, and then the ink cartridge may be placed in the positioning component; or the ink cartridge may be directly placed in the positioning groove.

[0091] In some embodiments, when the ink cartridge is placed in the positioning component, the ink outlet can be located in the first positioning portion of the positioning component, so that the ink cartridge can be positioned by the mutual engagement of the first positioning portion and the ink outlet; it is also possible that the first positioning portion is not provided in the positioning component, the ink outlet directly abuts against the bottom of the positioning component, or a supporting portion for supporting the ink outlet is provided at the bottom of the positioning component.

[0092] In some embodiments, during the process of the force-applying component 3 pushing the ink cartridge 100 toward the disassembly component 2, only the ink cartridge may move toward the disassembly component 2, or the ink cartridge and the positioning component may move toward the disassembly component 2 together, and the disassembly component 2 can disassemble the chip assembly according to a preset inclined path.

[0093] The above is only a preferred specific implementation of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily thought of by a person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application should be based on the protection scope of the claims.
