DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0024] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments.
[0025] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, a remanufactured ink cartridge 200 chip and ink cartridge includes a native ink cartridge 210, characterized in that a native chip 211 is arranged on the side of the native ink cartridge 210, a groove 212 is arranged beside the native chip 211, and a chip mounting position suitable for accommodating a chip body 100 is formed between the groove 212 and the native chip 211; the chip body 100 includes a first circuit area 10, a second circuit area 20 and a chip component 50, the first circuit area 10 is fixedly installed at the chip mounting position, a plurality of positioning holes 11 are opened on the first circuit area 10, and the front of the first circuit area 10 is also provided with Laser marking area 13, a plurality of contacts 12 are also arranged on the front side of the first circuit area 10, a plurality of tin points 40 are arranged on the welding surface of the first circuit area 10, two or more heat dissipation holes are arranged on the welding surface of the first circuit area 10, and an adhesive area 15 is also arranged on the welding surface of the first circuit area 10; the first circuit area 10 is electrically connected to the second circuit area 20 through the wire 30, the second circuit area 20 is correspondingly arranged in the groove 212, and the chip components 50 are arranged on the welding surface of the second circuit area 20, and the chip components 50 are electrically connected to the first circuit area 10 through the wire 30.
[0026] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the utility model provides a remanufactured ink cartridge chip and ink cartridge. Since the existing original ink cartridge 210 has a groove 212 beside the original chip 211 flexible circuit board, and the groove 212 can form a space suitable for accommodating chip components with the original chip 211 flexible circuit board. Therefore, the chip body 100 provided by the utility model includes two circuit areas, and the chip components 50 set in one of the circuit areas are accommodated in the groove 212 beside the original chip 211 connected to the flexible circuit board. The assembly is simple, and there is no need to use equipment to make grooves or holes in part of the space of the ink cartridge, which is conducive to reducing the manufacturing cost of the ink cartridge.
[0027] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, specifically, the chip body 100 is used for remanufacturing the ink cartridge 200, the original ink cartridge 210 includes a chip mounting position and a groove, and the chip body 100 includes a first circuit area 10, a second circuit area 20, and a chip component 50. The second circuit area 20 is electrically connected to the first circuit area 10. The chip component 50 is electrically connected and fixed to the second circuit area 20 and is electrically connected to the first circuit area 10, so that when the chip body 100 is assembled in the original ink cartridge 210, the first circuit area 10 is arranged corresponding to the chip mounting position, the second circuit area 20 is arranged corresponding to the groove 212 next to the flexible circuit board connected to the original chip 211, and the chip component 50 can be accommodated in the groove 212.
[0028] The chip body 100 provided by the utility model includes a first circuit area 10 and a second circuit area 20 which are electrically connected, wherein the first circuit area 10 is installed at the chip mounting position of the native ink cartridge 210, and the second circuit area 20 is arranged corresponding to the groove 212 next to the flexible circuit board connected to the native chip 211, so that the chip component 50 can be accommodated in the groove 212, ensuring that the chip body 100 is installed flat and easy to assemble, without the need to use additional equipment to make grooves or holes in part of the space of the ink cartridge, thereby ensuring the integrity of the native ink cartridge and reducing the time cost and labor cost of ink cartridge manufacturing.
[0029] It is understandable that when the chip body 100 has more components and the ink cartridge in the prior art needs to have a larger diameter of hole, the chip body 100 is prone to collapse, resulting in an unsightly installation effect. The chip body 100 provided by the utility model does not require additional equipment to make grooves or holes in part of the space of the original ink cartridge 210, thereby ensuring the aesthetic installation of the remanufactured ink cartridge 200 and the chip body 100.
[0030] Furthermore, a chip component 50 is disposed on the second circuit area 20 , which may be a wafer or a packaged chip, such as a microprocessor or a dedicated integrated circuit chip.
[0031] In the second circuit area 20, the width dimension is smaller than the dimension of the groove 212 in this direction; the width dimension range is 3mm to 5mm.
[0032] In one embodiment of the utility model, the first circuit area 10 and the second circuit area 20 can be located on the same flexible circuit board, so that the second circuit area 20 can be bent relative to the first circuit area 10, so as to achieve the purpose of the second circuit area 20 being arranged corresponding to the groove next to the ink cartridge chip connected to the flexible circuit board. At the same time, the first circuit area 10 and the second circuit area 20 are located on the same flexible circuit board, which is easy to produce and manufacture while meeting the requirement that the chip component 50 can be accommodated in the groove of the ink cartridge, thereby reducing costs.
[0033] In other embodiments, the first circuit area 10 and the second circuit area 20 are located on two circuit boards respectively, and the second circuit area 20 is a flexible circuit board, so that the second circuit area 20 can be bent relative to the first circuit area 10, so as to achieve the purpose of the second circuit area 20 and the groove 212 next to the flexible circuit board connected to the ink cartridge chip being set correspondingly. In other words, the second circuit area 20 is a flexible circuit board, and the first circuit area 10 is located on another circuit board (the circuit board can be a flexible circuit board or a rigid circuit board), so as to achieve the first circuit area 10 and the second circuit area 20 can be bent relative to each other.
[0034] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, a positioning hole 11 is provided on the first circuit area 10. The first circuit area 10 can be accurately fixedly installed in the chip installation position of the original ink cartridge 210 through the positioning hole 11, preventing the first circuit area 10 from falling off or shifting during the use of the ink cartridge, ensuring that the ink cartridge can be used normally.
[0035] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the positioning hole 11 is single or multiple, and the multiple positioning holes 11 are arranged at intervals, wherein the positioning hole 11 close to the second circuit area 20 is an arc hole, and the positioning hole 11 away from the second circuit area 20 is a circular hole. The multiple positioning holes 11 can strengthen the connection strength between the first circuit area 10 and the native ink cartridge 210, and the arc hole close to the second circuit area 20 enables the position of the first circuit area 10 to be fine-tuned after the first circuit area 10 is installed in the chip installation position of the native ink cartridge 210.
[0036] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the pads on the first circuit area 10 can be electrically connected to the metal contacts of the native chip 211 on the native ink cartridge 210 through the solder points 40 formed by solder.
[0037] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the metal contacts 12 on the first circuit area 10 can be electrically connected to the probe of the printer through physical contact.
[0038] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the metal contacts 12 or solder points 40 on the first circuit area 10 are electrically connected to the second circuit area 20 through the wires 30 .
[0039] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, two or more heat dissipation holes 14 are provided in the welding area of the first circuit area 10. Such a setting can facilitate the dissipation of hot air during welding annealing when the welding surface is welded to the contact of the original chip, and can quickly reduce the temperature of the welding area, so that the tin point can solidify quickly, reduce the liquid flow of the tin point in the molten state, improve the overflow of the solder point, thereby improving the welding efficiency and welding quality, ensuring the welding fastness, and reducing the difficulty of rework; secondly, the rapid heating and cooling of the solder area can reduce the high temperature holding time of the circuit board welding area, and further avoid the deformation problem of the original ink cartridge plastic shell in the welding process of the flexible circuit board.
[0040] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the chip 100 provided by the utility model further includes a fixed positioning structure, which is used to position the first circuit area 10 on the native ink cartridge 210. This arrangement can avoid the problem of movement or shaking of the chip 100 during transportation / turnover after the chip body 100 is installed in the native ink cartridge 210.
[0041] Specifically, the fixed positioning structure includes an adhesive adhesive area 15, and the adhesive adhesive area 15 is located on the welding surface of the first circuit area 10 of the chip 100. The problem of movement or shaking of the chip 100 generated during transportation / turnover is solved. In the present application, by setting the adhesive adhesive area 15 at a predetermined position of the first circuit area 10, the chip 100 and the original ink cartridge 210 are attached with double-sided tape, which can not only fix the chip 100; at the same time, when facing welding, the adhesive adhesive area 15 can ensure that its viscosity and physical properties will not change, thereby improving its stability.
[0042] Preferably, the number of adhesive regions 15 is two, and the two adhesive regions 15 are located on both sides of the soldering surface of the first circuit region 10 of the chip 100 .
[0043] like Figure 2 As shown, the first circuit area 10 of the chip 100 provided by the utility model also includes a laser marking area 13, which is used to mark the model of the chip 100 after the data of the chip 100 is initialized, so as to facilitate customers to identify the model.
[0044] The utility model also provides a method for remanufacturing an ink cartridge 200, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 The remanufactured ink cartridge with the chip body 100 installed does not need to use equipment to make grooves or holes in the space above the contacts of the original chip 211 of the original ink cartridge 210, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost of the remanufactured ink cartridge and ensuring the integrity of the original ink cartridge 210.
[0045] The above description is only a preferred specific implementation manner of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention according to the technical scheme and the utility model concept of the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
