It should be understood that the specific embodiments described here are only used to explain the utility model and are not used to limit the utility model.

[0026] like Figure 1 and 2 As shown, the new ink cartridge with a movable chip box described in the embodiment of the utility model has a first surface 201, and the first surface 201 is provided with a nozzle 202; the specific structure can be: the ink cartridge includes an ink cartridge body 100 and a shoulder cover 200, one end of the ink cartridge body 100 is provided with a nozzle head 102, and the shoulder cover 200 has a first surface 201, and the first surface 201 is provided with a nozzle sleeve 206; when the shoulder cover 200 is assembled with the ink cartridge body 100, the nozzle sleeve 206 is sleeved on the nozzle head 102 to form the nozzle 202.

[0027] like Figure 1-7 As shown, the new ink cartridge with a movable chip box described in the embodiment of the utility model also has a chip box 300, and a chip 301 is arranged on the chip box 300. Specifically, the chip box 300 is provided with a chip identification connection cavity 304 for the chip connector of the printer to insert and connect the chip 301, and the chip identification connection cavity 304 is provided with the chip 301.

[0028] The chip box 300 is embedded in the ink cartridge and can be moved and adjusted in the X direction and the Y direction. Specifically, the first surface 201 is provided with a mounting cavity 203 extending toward the inside of the ink cartridge. More specifically, one end of the ink cartridge body 100 is provided with an assembly platform 101, the first surface 201 of the shoulder cover 200 is provided with an assembly port 204, and the shoulder cover 200 is provided with an assembly rack 205 located inside the assembly port 204. When the shoulder cover 200 is assembled with the ink cartridge body 100, the assembly platform 101, the shoulder cover 200, the assembly port 204 and the assembly rack 205 together constitute the mounting cavity 203. The two opposite surfaces of the chip box 300 in the Y direction are provided with elastic deformation handles 302, the lower ends of the elastic deformation handles 302 are connected to the chip box 300, and the upper ends extend outward and away from the chip box 300. When the chip box 300 is assembled in the installation cavity 203, the upper ends of the elastic deformation handles 302 hook the upper cavity wall of the installation cavity 203. Preferably, the two elastic deformation handles 302 of the chip box 300 in the Y direction are symmetrically arranged; when the chip box 300 needs to be taken out of the installation cavity 203, the two elastic deformation handles 302 are clamped simultaneously with the help of work, so that the elastic deformation handles 302 are deformed and moved closer to the chip box 300, and the chip box 300 can be taken out. Moreover, the dimensions of the installation cavity 203 in the X direction and the Y direction are both larger than the dimensions of the chip box 300 in the X direction and the Y direction. Specifically, the dimension of the installation cavity 203 in the X direction is 1 mm to 2 mm larger than the dimension of the elastic deformation handle 302 in the X direction, and the dimension of the installation cavity 203 in the Y direction is 1 mm to 2 mm larger than the dimension of the elastic deformation handle 302 in the Y direction. When the chip box 300 is assembled in the installation cavity 203, the elastic deformation handle 302 is abutted against the cavity wall of the installation cavity 203 and is movable in the X direction and the Y direction.

[0029] When the ink cartridge of the utility model is installed and used, the chip connector of the printer is inserted into the chip identification connection cavity 304 of the chip box 300 and connected with the chip 301 provided in the chip identification connection cavity 304. During this process, the chip box 300 can move in the X-axis and Y-axis directions under the action of the chip connector, so that the chip connector can be smoothly inserted into the chip identification connection cavity 304, connected with the chip 301, and the information of the chip 301 can be identified and read, thereby greatly reducing the installation accuracy requirements of the chip box 300 and improving the recognition performance of the ink cartridge; and when the chip is abnormal or needs to be upgraded, the chip box 300 can be taken out to replace or upgrade the chip 301, so that the ink cartridge and the chip can be reused, which is energy-saving, environmentally friendly and easy to operate.

[0030] like Figure 4 and 5As shown, as a preferred solution of the utility model, the two opposite surfaces of the chip box 300 in the Y direction are provided with air-avoiding notches 303, and the lower end of the elastic deformation handle 302 is connected to the chip box 300 at the lower end of the air-avoiding notch 303. When installing and removing the chip box 300, at least a part of the elastic deformation handle 302 is deformed inwardly into the air-avoiding notch 303, increasing the deformation amplitude of the elastic deformation handle 302, making the installation and removal of the chip box 300 more convenient.

[0031] like Figure 3-5 As shown, as another preferred embodiment of the present invention, a Y-axis limit block 207 is provided at the lower end of the assembly frame 205, and a Y-axis limiting recess 305 is provided at the lower end of the chip box 300. The specific structure can be: a Y-axis limit block 207 extending horizontally into the installation cavity 203 is provided at one side of the lower end of the assembly frame 205, and a Y-axis limiting recess 305 is provided at one side of the lower end of the chip box 300; after the chip box 300 is assembled into the installation cavity 203, the Y-axis limiting recess 305 is movably stuck on the Y-axis limit block 207, playing a supporting and limiting role, and having an anti-reverse installation function (that is, when the chip box 300 is correctly installed in place, the Y-axis limiting recess 305 is stuck in the Y-axis limit block 207, otherwise the chip box 300 cannot be installed).

[0032] The above is a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that a person skilled in the art can make several improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of the present invention. These improvements and modifications are also considered to be within the protection scope of the present invention.
