[0002] Printing consumables (such as ink cartridges or ribbons, etc.) are usually sold in simple packaging (such as wrapping the printing consumables with heat shrink film for protection and then placing them in a paper box). When the printing consumables are shipped from the factory to dealers, the printing consumables are normal and the programs are the latest. However, after the dealers receive the goods, they will not sell them to users immediately. Since the user's printing device will automatically or manually update the program from time to time, there will be a mismatch between the program of the printing device and the printing consumables. Therefore, when selling printing consumables, dealers will perform corresponding program upgrades on the printing consumables and detect whether there are any abnormalities. However, this operation usually requires unpacking, which will cause damage to the packaging, thereby affecting its protection effect or affecting sales. Therefore, it is necessary to design a device that can detect and upgrade printing consumables without damaging the packaging. Summary of the invention

[0020] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the utility model more clear, 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.

[0021] It should be understood that these descriptions are exemplary only and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0022] Some embodiments of the present invention are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0023] Reference Figure 1-3 , A cartridge test upgrade device comprises a base 1, a detection wall 2 is arranged on one side of the base 1, a plurality of connectors 3 electrically connected to the upgrade detection device are installed on the detection wall 2, and an electric contact pin 5 is arranged on the connector 3; a sliding seat 4 for placing a printing consumable assembly 6 is slidably installed on the base 1, and the sliding seat 4 and the base 1 are fixed or released by a snap assembly; a limiting portion 7 is arranged on the sliding seat 4 for limiting the printing consumable assembly 6 from moving in the opposite direction of the direction of inserting the electric contact pin 5 and from moving horizontally in a direction perpendicular to the direction of inserting the electric contact pin, and the limiting portion 7 is a convex edge 22 arranged on the side and left side of the sliding seat 4 away from the detection wall 2.

[0024] The printing consumables assembly 6 includes an inner tray 19, on which a number of printing consumables are arranged. The printing consumables assembly 6 can be packaged in a variety of ways, such as wrapping the printing consumables assembly 6 with a heat shrink film or vacuum packaging (not shown in the drawings), and then putting the wrapped printing consumables assembly 6 into a paper box as a whole, and then it can be used for normal sales; another situation is that the printing consumables assembly 6 is first put into a packaging box as a whole, and then wrapped with a heat shrink film or vacuum packaging (not shown in the drawings) on the outside of the packaging box. The functions of the heat shrink film or vacuum packaging are waterproof, moisture-proof, and anti-damage. When the printing consumables assembly 6 is to be inspected and the program is upgraded, the paper box is opened, the printing consumables assembly is taken out as a whole, the printing consumables assembly 6 is placed on the sliding seat 4, and is positioned in contact with the limiting portion 7, and then the sliding seat 4 is pushed toward the detection wall 2. At this time, if the outside of the printing consumables assembly is directly covered with a heat shrink film or vacuum packaging, the electric contact needle directly pierces the packaging film of the printing consumables and directly contacts the PCB board of the printing consumables assembly to form an electrical connection; if the printing consumables assembly 6 is not directly covered with a heat shrink film or vacuum packaging, the electric contact needle directly contacts the PCB board of the printing consumables assembly to form an electrical connection, and the printing consumables assembly is inspected and the program is upgraded. After the operation is completed, the printing consumables can be put back into the paper box. During the entire operation process, the packaging of the printing consumables assembly is protected to the greatest extent.

[0025] The buckle assembly includes a locking portion 8 installed on one side of the base 1, and a buckle 10 hingedly installed on the sliding seat 4 corresponding to the locking portion 8 and reset by a spring 9. The sliding seat 4 is fixed by the locking portion 8 and the buckle 10 being engaged with each other.

[0026] A hinge seat 11 is provided on one side of the sliding seat 4, a first hinge hole 12 is provided on the hinge seat 11, a second hinge hole 13 is provided on the buckle 10 corresponding to the first hinge hole 12, and the first hinge hole 12 and the second hinge hole 13 are connected through a hinge shaft.

[0027] The side wall of the sliding seat 4 is provided with a first accommodating hole 14 , and the buckle 10 is provided with a second accommodating hole corresponding to the first accommodating hole 14 . One end of the spring 9 is fixedly installed in the first accommodating hole 14 , and the other end is fixedly installed in the second accommodating hole.

[0028] The side wall of the buckle 10 has a protrusion 15 gradually extending outward from one end close to the detection wall 2 along the sliding direction of the sliding seat 4. The protrusion 15 and the side wall of the buckle 10 form a locking notch 16. The locking notch 16 is clamped on the locking portion 8. The protrusion 15 is an inclined structure, which is in contact with the locking portion 8. When the sliding seat 4 is pushed, the buckle 10 as a whole slides (shifts) along the inclined surface toward the sliding seat 4. When the locking portion 8 and the locking notch 16 cooperate, the spring 9 pushes the buckle 10 to reset, so that the locking portion 8 and the buckle 10 are buckled with each other, ensuring that the printing consumables component 6 will not move when performing detection and program upgrade operations, thereby interrupting the detection and program upgrade operations. When the detection and program upgrade of the printing consumables component 6 are completed, the buckle 10 is pried to separate the locking portion 8 and the locking notch 16, and the sliding seat 4 can be slid out.

[0029] A spring (not shown) for resetting the electric contact pin 5 is provided inside the connector 3, and the sliding seat 4 is pushed to make the PCB board of the printing consumables assembly abut against the electric contact pin 5. The spring is compressed, thereby applying a reaction force to the electric contact pin 5, ensuring that the electric contact pin 5 can be relatively tightly electrically connected to the PCB board of the printing consumables assembly. When the printing consumables assembly 6 is inspected and the program is upgraded, the buckle 10 is bent, and the electric contact pin 5 can push the sliding seat 4 in the opposite direction for a short distance (i.e., the distance for resetting the electric contact pin 5) through the spring, avoiding the situation where the locking portion 8 and the locking notch 16 are re-locked, resulting in the situation that the sliding seat 4 cannot be withdrawn.

[0030] The detection wall 2 is provided with an elastic member 21 for pushing the sliding seat 4 to move in the opposite direction of the direction of inserting the electric contact needle of the printing consumables assembly 6. The elastic member can be a spring, a spring sheet, or a spring assembly composed of a spring and a pin. When the sliding seat 4 is pushed toward the detection wall 2, the sliding seat 4 and the detection wall 2 jointly squeeze the elastic member 21, so that the elastic member 21 is in a compressed state. When the detection and program upgrade operations are completed, the buckle 10 is moved, and the elastic member 21 stretches and resets, further increasing the distance of pushing the sliding seat 4 in the opposite direction, avoiding the situation that the locking portion 8 and the locking notch 16 are re-locked, resulting in the situation that the sliding seat 4 cannot be withdrawn.

[0031] A plurality of slide rails 17 are installed on the base 1 along the sliding direction of the slide seat 4 . A slider 18 is installed at the bottom of the slide seat 4 corresponding to the slide rails 17 . The slider 18 is slidably installed on the slide rails 17 . The slider 18 has a groove 20 . The slide rail 17 is slidably installed in the groove 20 .

[0032] The base is provided with an anti-skid pad to prevent sliding when the sliding seat 4 is pushed.
