Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of inkjet printers, in particular to a regenerated consumables box and a regenerated consumables box group. Background Art

[0002] An inkjet printer is equipped with a consumable cartridge, such as an ink cartridge, which stores ink. The ink cartridge also has a chip that stores information. The printer identifies the consumable cartridge by reading the information stored in the chip. After the ink in the consumable cartridge is consumed, the consumable cartridge is discarded. In order to avoid waste of resources caused by discarded consumable cartridges, the discarded consumable cartridges are usually recovered and recycled after regeneration.

[0003] At present, in the process of recycling waste consumable boxes, the recycling and reuse of chips is not convenient enough. Due to the immaturity of the recycling processing technology, it is easy to cause scratches on the terminal surface of the chip, incomplete chip cutting, or the storage elements of the chip to fall off and be damaged. As a result, the consumable boxes cannot be used anymore, resulting in a large number of consumable boxes being idle or discarded, polluting the environment and causing a waste of resources.

[0067] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present utility model clearer, the following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the present utility model in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments in the present utility model without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0068] A consumable cartridge, such as an ink cartridge, is detachably disposed in a printing device, and the consumable cartridge supplies ink for the printing operation of the printing device.

[0069] After the ink in the original consumable cartridge is exhausted, the original consumable cartridge becomes a waste consumable cartridge, and the waste consumable cartridge can be recycled, thereby reducing resource waste and environmental pollution and saving costs.

[0070] Generally, in order to further save costs, the chips with good performance obtained from the waste consumable cartridges are recycled. However, in the prior art, by disposing the recycled chips on a chip holder and using the clamping structure provided on the chip holder and the clamped structure provided on the recycled consumable cartridge to achieve the assembly of the two, due to factors such as the size of the installation position for installing the chip holder and the setting position of the clamped structure, and because the chip holder is frequently disassembled, resulting in deformation and failure of the clamping structure, problems such as insufficient connection strength between the chip holder and the installation position or inaccurate assembly of the clamping structure and the clamped structure will occur, such as installation errors. During the automated assembly process, if there are disturbances such as vibrations or shakes caused by human or external environmental factors, the chip holder may fall off from the installation position or the installation position may shift, resulting in problems such as inability to communicate or poor contact between the chip and the printing device.

[0071] In the related art, by providing through holes on the chip installation position of the recycled consumable cartridge and using tools to violently disassemble the chips from the recycled consumable cartridge, problems such as overall damage of the chips or peeling and damage of the storage elements in the chips may occur due to improper human operation or immature technology, resulting in the chips being unusable and low chip reuse rate.

[0072] In view of this, the present utility model provides a recycled consumable cartridge and a set of recycled consumable cartridges. Among them, a recycled consumable cartridge is provided with a hollow hole and an installation position in the face cover. The installation position is located at one end of the hollow hole close to the shell body. The chip assembly is detachably disposed at the installation position, and a removal portion is formed between at least a part of the inner wall of the chip assembly and the installation position. The user can push the chip assembly from the removal portion to complete the disassembly of the chip assembly. At the same time, when installing the chip assembly, it can also be confirmed whether the chip assembly is installed in place through the removal portion, improving the convenience of use, ensuring that the recycled consumable cartridge can be used normally, and reducing the difficulty of replacing and disassembling the chip assembly.

[0073] The embodiments of the present utility model provide a recycled consumable cartridge and a set of recycled consumable cartridges, which will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0074] For better illustration of a recycled consumable cartridge provided in the present application, refer to Figure 1 As shown, a coordinate system is established: wherein, the length direction of the cartridge body 10 is the X-axis direction, the thickness direction of the cartridge body 10 is the Z-axis direction, and the height direction of the cartridge body 10 is the Y-axis direction. Among them, the X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis are perpendicular to each other, or the X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis are approximately perpendicular to each other. The installation direction of the consumable cartridge is along the length direction of the cartridge body 10.

[0075] In this example, the first direction refers to the length direction of the cartridge body 10, that is, the X-axis direction; the second direction refers to the height direction of the cartridge body 10, that is, the Y-axis direction; the third direction refers to the thickness direction of the cartridge body 10, that is, the Z-axis direction.

[0076] The printing device at least includes a print head, a gas supply mechanism, a controller, a driver, and an ink supply mechanism. After the consumable cartridge is installed in the installation part of the printing device, the ink supply mechanism sucks out the ink stored in the ink storage cavity of the consumable cartridge and transports the ink to the print head. The print head sprays the ink on the printing medium, such as paper, to generate printed images or texts; the gas supply mechanism can supply gas, such as air, into the consumable cartridge. When the gas enters the inflation cavity in the consumable cartridge, the pressure in the consumable cartridge will increase. Under the action of the air pressure in the consumable cartridge, the ink is extruded. The driver can control the displacement of the print head and / or the platform for storing the printing medium, and the controller can be used to control the working state of any of the foregoing units.

[0077] Refer to Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the present utility model provides a recycled consumable cartridge, including: a cartridge body 10 and a chip assembly 40. The cartridge body 10 includes a shell main body 20 and a face cover 30 covering the shell main body 20. The face cover 30 is provided with a hollow hole 32 and an installation position 31. The installation position 31 is located at one end of the hollow hole 32 close to the shell main body 20; the chip assembly 40 is detachably arranged at the installation position 31, and at least a part of the chip assembly 40 is exposed outward from the hollow hole 32. A removal part 50 is formed between at least a part of the inner wall of the chip assembly 40 and the installation position 31, so as to facilitate the removal of the chip assembly 40 from the installation position 31 along the first direction.

[0078] A regenerative consumable cartridge provided by the present utility model has a hollow hole 32 and an installation position 31 provided in the face cover 30. The installation position 31 is located at one end of the hollow hole 32 close to the housing main body 20. The chip assembly 40 is detachably arranged at the installation position 31. A removal part 50 is formed between the chip assembly 40 and at least a part of the inner wall of the installation position 31. When a user pushes the chip assembly 40 from the removal part 50, the disassembly of the chip assembly 40 can be completed. At the same time, when the chip assembly 40 is installed, it can also be confirmed whether the chip assembly 40 is installed in place through the removal part 50, improving the convenience of use, ensuring that the regenerative consumable cartridge can be used normally, and reducing the difficulty of replacing and disassembling the chip assembly 40.

[0079] A regenerative consumable cartridge provided by the present utility model is more convenient for disassembling or installing the chip assembly 40, and the chip assembly 40 has high installation stability. It can avoid the problems in the prior art that due to the lack of restraint or insufficient mechanical strength of the connection between the chip holder and the installation position, when affected by external environments such as vibration, shaking, and assembly errors, the chip holder falls off from the installation position or the installation position shifts; and avoid the situation in the prior art that the chip is violently disassembled by tools, resulting in the peeling and damage of the chip or the storage elements arranged on the chip. A regenerative consumable cartridge provided by the present utility model helps to improve the stability of the electrical connection between the chip assembly 40 and the printing device, reduce the failure rate during the recycling and reuse process of the chip assembly 40, ensure the information interaction and the realization of related functions between the chip assembly 40 and the printing device, and guarantee the stability of communication between the chip assembly 40 and the printing device.

[0080] In a possible implementation manner, the hollow hole 32 can be a rectangular hole, a polygonal hole, etc. The hollow hole 32 penetrates through the inner wall surface and the outer wall surface of the face cover 30 along the thickness direction of the cartridge body 10, that is, the hollow hole 32 penetrates through both sides of the face cover 30 along the Z-axis direction.

[0081] In a possible implementation manner, referring to Figure 5 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7 as shown, the chip assembly 40 includes a receiving plate 41 and a chip 42 arranged on the surface of the receiving plate 41. The receiving plate 41 has a notch part 411, and at least a part of the notch part 411 is exposed outward from the hollow hole 32. When disassembling the chip assembly 40, the user's finger can directly extend into the removal part 50 from the hollow hole 32, facilitating the movement of the chip assembly 40 along the first direction, with convenient operation and no need to use tools.

[0082] In a possible implementation, the distance between the inner walls on the opposite sides of the hollow hole 32 along the first direction, i.e., the X-axis, is equal to or slightly less than the dimension of the chip component 40 along the first direction, ensuring that the user can push the chip component 40 along the first direction for a sufficient distance without affecting the disassembly of the chip component 40 due to the too short distance between the inner walls on the opposite sides of the hollow hole 32 along the first direction.

[0083] In a possible implementation, the chip 42 can be disposed on the side of the receiving plate 41 facing away from the hollow hole 32 by means of adhesive or ultrasonic welding, and the chip 42 cannot be exposed outward through the hollow hole 32, which helps to protect the chip 42 and prevent problems such as the terminals being scratched and the storage elements falling off and being damaged when the chip 42 is exposed, thereby improving the yield rate of the recycling of the chip component 40.

[0084] In a possible implementation, referring to Figure 5 and Figure 7 as shown, the receiving plate 41 can be rectangular, and the notch portion 411 can be, but is not limited to, rectangular, semi-circular or trapezoidal. The notch portion 411 can be located at the middle position of the receiving plate 41 along the second direction, i.e., the Y-axis. When pushing the chip component 40 along the first direction, i.e., the X-axis, it is beneficial to make the movement of the chip component 40 more balanced, reduce problems such as the chip component 40 tilting and jamming, and ensure the smoothness and convenience of disassembling the chip component 40. Of course, in other possible implementations, the notch portion 411 can be located at the +Y end position or -Y end position of the receiving plate 41 along the second direction, i.e., the Y-axis.

[0085] In a possible implementation, referring to Figure 5 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7 as shown, at least a part of the inner wall of the notch portion 411 and the mounting position 31 encloses to form a removal portion 50.

[0086] In this example, the notch portion 411 is located at the middle position of the receiving plate 41 along the second direction, i.e., the Y-axis, and the notch portion 411 and the inner wall of the mounting position 31 along the -X axis enclose to form a removal portion 50.

[0087] In other possible implementations, when the notch portion 411 is located at the +Y end position of the receiving plate 41 along the second direction, i.e., the Y-axis, a removal portion 50 is formed among the notch portion 411, the inner wall of the mounting position 31 along the -X axis, and the inner wall of the mounting position 31 along the +Y axis. When the notch portion 411 is located at the -Y end position of the receiving plate 41 along the second direction, i.e., the Y-axis, a removal portion 50 is formed among the notch portion 411, the inner wall of the mounting position 31 along the -X axis, and the inner wall of the mounting position 31 along the -Y axis.

[0088] In a possible implementation, referring to Figure 1 As shown, one end face of the cartridge body 10 in the first direction is the front surface 11. The cartridge body 10 includes an interface unit 17, and the interface unit 17 is located on the front surface 11. Along the first direction, the notch portion 411 is located at one end of the receiving plate 41 away from the front surface 11.

[0089] In a possible implementation, the interface unit 17 includes an inflation port 171 and an ink supply port 172. The inflation port 171 and the ink supply port 172 may be arranged at intervals in the second direction.

[0090] When the recycled consumable cartridge is installed in the installation part of the printing device, the inflation port 171 is connected to the air supply mechanism provided in the installation part of the printing device. The air supply mechanism is, for example, an air pump, to pressurize the inside of the cartridge body 10. The ink supply port 172 is connected to the ink supply mechanism of the installation part. The ink supply mechanism is, for example, an ink supply needle, to supply ink. The ink supply mechanism sucks out the ink stored in the recycled consumable cartridge and transports the ink to the print head. The print head sprays the ink on the printing medium, such as paper, to generate printed images or texts.

[0091] Along the first direction, the notch portion 411 is located at one end of the receiving plate 41 away from the front surface 11. Such a structure makes the removal portion 50 located at one end of the receiving plate 41 away from the front surface 11, facilitating the application of force when pushing the chip assembly 40 to move.

[0092] In a possible implementation, referring to Figure 4 and Figure 9 As shown, the shell main body 20 and the face cover 30 together enclose the first cavity 12 and the second cavity 13 which are arranged at intervals and not connected to each other. The first cavity 12 is used to store ink. One side of the second cavity 13 facing the front surface 11 is open. The installation position 31 is located on the inner wall of the second cavity 13. At least a part of the second cavity 13 is exposed to the outside through the removal portion 50.

[0093] In a possible implementation, a partition plate 14 is provided inside the shell main body 20. The partition plate 14 and the shell main body 20 may be an integral structure connected together. The partition plate 14 separates the first cavity 12 and the second cavity 13, preventing the ink stored in the first cavity 12 from flowing into the second cavity 13 to contaminate the chip assembly 40. The first cavity 12 is communicated with the ink supply port 172.

[0094] In a possible implementation, the face cover 30 may be fixed to the shell main body 20 by means of welding or pasting, etc., so that the face cover 30 is firmly connected to the shell main body 20.

[0095] In a possible implementation, referring to Figure 6 、 Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, the face cover 30 includes multiple sets of stoppers 33 located at the edge of the installation position 31, and each stopper 33 abuts against different sides of the chip component 40 respectively.

[0096] The stoppers 33 play a role in limiting the position, which can prevent the problem of skew or displacement of the chip component 40 after installation, so as to ensure that the terminals 421 provided on the chip 42 of the chip component 40 can be in corresponding contact with the needles of the printing device, improving the stability and accuracy of the contact between the terminals 421 provided on the chip 42 and the needles of the printing device, and thus ensuring the communication quality between the chip 42 and the printing device.

[0097] In a possible implementation manner, referring to Figure 6 、 Figure 7 and Figure 10 As shown, the multiple sets of stoppers 33 include: a first stopper 331, a second stopper 332, and a third stopper 333. The first stopper 331 is located at the opposite ends of the installation position 31 along the first direction, and the opposite ends of the receiving plate 41 along the first direction respectively abut against the first stopper 331.

[0098] The second stopper 332 is located at the opposite ends of the installation position 31 along the second direction, and the opposite ends of the receiving plate 41 along the second direction respectively abut against the second stopper 332. The second stopper 332 can limit the movement of the chip component 40 along the second direction.

[0099] The third stopper 333 is located at the opposite ends of the installation position 31 along the third direction, and the opposite ends of the receiving plate 41 along the third direction respectively abut against the third stopper 333. The third stopper 333 can limit the movement of the chip component 40 along the third direction.

[0100] In a possible implementation manner, one end face of the receiving plate 41 along the first direction, i.e., the +X direction, is the first wall 412, and one end face of the receiving plate 41 along the -X direction is the second wall 413. The first wall 412 and the second wall 413 of the receiving plate 41 respectively abut against the two first stoppers 331, which helps to improve the accuracy of the installation position of the chip component 40. When the chip component 40 is installed in place, it limits the movement of the chip component 40 along the +X direction or the -X direction, effectively avoiding the problem of the chip component 40 coming out.

[0101] One end face of the receiving plate 41 along the second direction, i.e., the +Y direction, is the third wall 414, and one end face of the receiving plate 41 along the -Y direction is the fourth wall 415. The third wall 414 and the fourth wall 415 of the receiving plate 41 respectively abut against two second stop portions 332. When the chip assembly 40 is installed in place, the movement of the chip assembly 40 along the +Y direction or the -Y direction is restricted, which helps to improve the accuracy of the installation position of the chip assembly 40, improve the electrical connection effect between the terminals 421 provided on the chip 42 and the styli of the printing device, and thus ensure the communication quality between the chip 42 and the printing device.

[0102] One end face of the receiving plate 41 along the third direction, i.e., the +Z direction, is the fifth wall 416, and one end face of the receiving plate 41 along the -Z direction is the sixth wall 417. The fifth wall 416 and the sixth wall 417 of the receiving plate 41 respectively abut against two third stop portions 333. When the chip assembly 40 is installed in place, the third stop portions 333 restrict the movement of the chip assembly 40 along the +Z direction or the -Z direction, which helps to improve the accuracy of the installation position of the chip assembly 40, improve the electrical connection effect between the terminals 421 provided on the chip 42 and the styli of the printing device, and thus ensure the communication quality between the chip 42 and the printing device.

[0103] In a possible implementation manner, referring to Figure 3 and Figure 4 as shown, the chip 42 includes a plurality of terminals 421. The terminals 421 face the second cavity 13. The second cavity 13 is used for the styli in the printing device to enter so that the styli are electrically connected to the terminals 421. When the chip assembly 40 is disassembled along the first direction, the second cavity 13 has an avoidance effect on the terminals 421, which can reduce the problem of causing scratches on the terminals 421 and ensure the yield rate of the recycled chip 42.

[0104] In a possible implementation manner, the chip 42 comes from an original consumable cartridge, a recycled consumable cartridge, or other recycled consumable cartridges.

[0105] The recycled consumable cartridge provided by the present utility model greatly simplifies the difficulty of the recycling and treatment process of the ink cartridge, reduces the scrap rate, and saves the production cost and the user's usage cost.

[0106] The present utility model further provides a set of recycled consumable cartridges, including: at least two of the above-mentioned recycled consumable cartridges, and each recycled consumable cartridge includes a cartridge body 10 and a chip assembly 40

[0107] The installation position 31 of the first consumable cartridge is configured to install the chip assembly 40 removed from the recycled consumable cartridge

[0108] The present utility model further provides a set of recycled consumable cartridges, comprising: at least two of the above-mentioned recycled consumable cartridges. Each recycled consumable cartridge includes a cartridge body 10 and a chip assembly 40. The cartridge body 10 of each recycled consumable cartridge has an installation position 31, and the installation position 31 of one of the recycled consumable cartridges in the set of recycled consumable cartridges is configured to install the chip assembly 40 removed from the recycled consumable cartridge.

[0109] In a possible implementation manner, the set of recycled consumable cartridges includes two of the above-mentioned recycled consumable cartridges, namely a first recycled consumable cartridge and a second recycled consumable cartridge. Among them, the installation position 31 of the first recycled consumable cartridge is configured to install the chip assembly 40. When the ink stored in the first recycled consumable cartridge is exhausted, the chip assembly 40 installed in the first recycled consumable cartridge is removed, and then the removed chip assembly 40 is installed in the installation position 31 of the cartridge body 10 of the second recycled consumable cartridge, which can effectively reduce the waste amount of the cartridge body 10, improve the recycling utilization rate of idle consumable cartridges, reduce the recycling cost of the chip assembly 40 and the cartridge body 10, and reduce environmental pollution and waste of resources.

[0110] A set of recycled consumable cartridges provided by the present utility model includes a plurality of the above-mentioned recycled consumable cartridges. After the ink stored in the cartridge body 10 of one of the plurality of the above-mentioned recycled consumable cartridges is exhausted, the recycled consumable cartridge is removed from the printing device. Without the need for tools, the user directly removes the chip assembly 40 from the installation position 31 of the above-mentioned recycled consumable cartridge along the first direction through the removal part 50. Immediately afterwards, the chip assembly 40 is inserted into the installation position 31 of another of the above-mentioned recycled consumable cartridges.

[0111] In a possible implementation manner, the set of recycled consumable cartridges includes two of the above-mentioned recycled consumable cartridges. When the first recycled consumable cartridge is removed from the printing device due to exhausted ink, then the chip assembly 40 is removed from the installation position 31 of the first recycled consumable cartridge through the removal part 50 and installed in the installation position 31 of the second recycled consumable cartridge. Before installing the second recycled consumable cartridge with the chip assembly 40 into the printing device, it is necessary to first install a test consumable cartridge into the printing device, then remove the test consumable cartridge from the printing device, and finally install the second consumable cartridge with the chip assembly 40 into the printing device to perform a normal printing operation.

[0112] It should be noted that before the second recycled consumable cartridge with the chip component 40 installed is loaded into the printing device, the test consumable cartridge needs to be loaded into the printing device first. The purpose is that in this application, the test consumable cartridge is the original consumable cartridge. Since a specific anti-counterfeiting program is usually implanted in the chip of the original consumable cartridge, in order to avoid that after the second recycled consumable cartridge with the chip component 40 installed is loaded into the printing device, the second recycled consumable cartridge cannot be recognized by the printing device due to the abnormal serial number of the chip 42 of the chip component 40. By performing this installation method, the printing device is "activated" with the test consumable cartridge first, that is, the machine recognition of the consumable cartridge is completed. After the test consumable cartridge is removed, then the second recycled consumable cartridge with the chip component 40 installed is loaded into the printing device, so as to ensure that the printing device can normally recognize the installation of the first consumable cartridge and correctly read the information stored in the chip 42 of the chip component 40, ensuring the normal execution of the printing function.

[0113] It should be noted that the ink color, product model parameters, chip serial numbers, etc. of each recycled consumable cartridge are the same as those of the original consumable cartridge.

[0114] Reference Figure 11 As shown, the present invention also provides a processing method for a recycled consumable cartridge group, including the following recycling steps:

[0115] S10. Clean the original consumable cartridge;

[0116] S20. Remove the face cover of the cleaned original consumable cartridge as the face cover to be processed;

[0117] S30. Process the installation position on the face cover to be processed;

[0118] S40. Process multiple sets of stop portions on the face cover to be processed after processing the installation position;

[0119] S50. Process a notch portion on the chip component;

[0120] S60. Install the chip component with the notch portion opened into the installation position.

[0121] Among them, in step S10, cleaning the original consumable cartridge aims to remove the residual ink, stains, etc. on the original consumable cartridge, ensuring that the ink filled during recycling is not contaminated.

[0122] In step S30, processing the installation position on the face cover to be processed can be achieved by engraving or stamping the installation position on the face cover to be processed.

[0123] In step S50, a notch portion 411 is processed in the chip component 40. Specifically, the notch portion 411 is opened on the receiving plate 41 of the chip component 40 by engraving or stamping.

[0124] Step S60: Install the chip component with the notch formed thereon onto the installation position. It can be to align the chip component 40 with the installation position 31 and push the chip component along the -X direction so that the chip component is installed onto the installation position 31. Multiple sets of stoppers 33 respectively abut against different sides of the chip component 40. The stoppers 33 play a role in limiting the position, which can prevent the problem of skew or displacement of the chip component 40 after installation.

[0125] In a possible implementation manner, the present utility model further provides a processing method for a regenerated consumable cartridge set. Specifically: Clean the interior of the recycled original consumable cartridge, remove the face cover of the cleaned original consumable cartridge as the face cover to be processed, process the installation position 31 on the face cover to be processed by engraving or stamping, process multiple sets of stoppers 33 on the face cover to be processed after processing the installation position 31, process the notch 411 in the chip component 40, install the chip component 40 with the notch 411 formed thereon onto the installation position 31, and finally connect the face cover 30 to the housing main body 20 by welding or bonding.
