Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a printing consumable material, in particular to a packaging of an ink cartridge. Background Art

[0002] Printing consumables (such as ink cartridges or ribbons, etc.) are usually sold in simple packaging. When the printing consumables are shipped from the factory to dealers, they are normal and have the latest programs. However, after dealers receive the goods, they are not sold to users immediately. Since users' printing devices will automatically or manually update programs from time to time, there will be a mismatch between the programs of the printing devices and the printing consumables. Therefore, when selling printing consumables, dealers will perform corresponding program upgrades and detect whether there are any abnormalities. However, this operation usually requires unpacking, which will cause damage to the packaging, thereby affecting its protective effect or affecting sales. Therefore, it is necessary to design a new packaging design that can facilitate users to take out printing consumables at any time for program upgrades or testing, while maintaining the integrity of the packaging.

[0022] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the utility model clearer, the utility model is further described in detail below in combination with specific implementation methods and with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the embodiments of the utility model and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0023] It should be understood that these descriptions are exemplary only and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0024] Some embodiments of the present invention are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0025] Reference Figure 1-5 , an ink cartridge package that is easy to test and upgrade, comprising an outer box 4 and a cartridge for fixing the ink cartridge (such as Figure 2 , 4 The inner tray 1 is as shown in C in the figure, the outer box 4 has at least one non-destructive opening and closing box cover 8, and the outer box 4 forms a closed body after the box cover 8 is closed. The inner tray 1 is provided with at least one ink cartridge compartment 3, and at least one positioning column 2 is provided on one side of the ink cartridge compartment 3. The side opposite to the side where the positioning column 2 is located is provided with an elastic plate 11 (as shown in FIG. Figure 4 As shown, in the same ink cartridge compartment 3, the elastic plate 11 is located on the left side of the ink cartridge compartment 3, and the positioning column 2 is located on the right side of the ink cartridge compartment 3). At least one anti-dropping position 5 is provided at the front and rear ends of the ink cartridge compartment 3. The ink cartridge compartment 3 is provided with an electric contact pin channel 7 corresponding to the PCB board portion of the ink cartridge. The box cover can be opened at any time without damage to take out the whole consisting of the inner tray and the ink cartridge. The ink cartridge is fixed and positioned by the inner tray. The electric contact pin of the detection equipment passes through the electric contact pin channel to form an electrical connection with the PCB board of the ink cartridge, which is convenient for program upgrades and detection operations. At the same time, it can effectively protect the ink cartridge from impact and vibration, and is both practical and aesthetically pleasing.

[0026] When the ink cartridge is installed, the ink cartridge will squeeze the elastic plate 11 outward to cause deformation, and then the elastic plate 11 will apply a reaction force to the ink cartridge to push the ink cartridge toward the positioning column 2 to position the ink cartridge horizontally.

[0027] First embodiment: The ink cartridge compartment 3 is provided with a first support plate 9 and a second support plate 10 on both sides of the electric contact needle channel 7. The electric contact needle channel 7 is naturally formed between the first support plate 9 and the second support plate 10. The heights of the first support plate 9 and the second support plate 10 are both higher than the position of the PCB board of the ink cartridge, ensuring that the detection equipment (such as Figure 5 The electrical contact pin (shown as A in Figure 5 As shown in B in FIG. 1 , the electrical contact pin can directly pass through the electrical contact pin channel 7 without hindrance and form an electrical connection with the PCB board portion of the ink cartridge.

[0028] The bottom of the ink cartridge compartment 3 is provided with a leveling portion 6 adapted to the bottom structure of the ink cartridge. Since the various planes of the ink cartridge are not all flat surfaces, but have protruding structures or concave structures, the leveling portion 6 is adapted to the protruding structures or concave structures at the bottom of the ink cartridge. When the ink cartridge is installed, it can ensure that the ink cartridge as a whole is in a horizontal state.

[0029] The bottom of the ink cartridge compartment 3 is provided with a plurality of opening structures 12, which improve the air flow effect at the bottom of the ink cartridge, reduce the risk of damage due to moisture, maintain the stability of the ink cartridge performance, and allow the heat generated by the ink cartridge during storage and transportation to be better dissipated to avoid overheating that affects its quality and life.

[0030] The ink cartridge packaging also includes a flexible sealing bag, which can be directly wrapped with an inner tray containing the ink cartridge and then placed in an outer box; or the inner tray containing the ink cartridge is first placed in the outer box as a whole, and then the outer box is wrapped with the flexible sealing bag. The flexible sealing bag is a heat shrink film or a vacuum packaging film, and other conventional sealing packaging bags can also be used, or the flexible sealing bag can be omitted.

[0031] When testing or upgrading the ink cartridge, it is necessary to open the box cover 8, take out the inner tray 1 containing the ink cartridge, place the inner tray 1 containing the ink cartridge on the test and upgrade device, so that the electric contact needle directly pierces the flexible sealing bag and contacts the PCB board of the ink cartridge to form an electrical connection or directly contacts the PCB board of the ink cartridge to form an electrical connection, and then perform testing and program upgrade operations on the ink cartridge. After the operation is completed, put the inner tray 1 containing the ink cartridge back into the outer box 4 and close the box cover 8.

[0032] The second embodiment: a connecting bridge 13 is provided between the top of the first supporting plate 9 and the second supporting plate 10, so that the electric contact pin channel 7 has supporting force all around. When the flexible sealing bag directly wraps the inner support containing the ink cartridge, this structure can ensure that when the test is upgraded, when the electric contact pin pierces the flexible sealing bag, the flexible sealing bag will not be concave at the electric contact pin channel 7, but will be in a taut state. The electric contact pin can smoothly form an electrical connection with the PCB board of the ink cartridge, thereby improving the stability of the electrical connection.

[0033] The thickness of the outer box 4 is less than 20 mm, which can better save transportation space and improve transportation efficiency, thereby reducing logistics expenses, occupying less storage space, and helping to more efficiently utilize warehouse resources. At the same time, less packaging size materials are used, reflecting the importance of environmental protection.
