[0038] Example 1

[0039] Please refer to Figure 1-6A remanufactured ink cartridge chip and a remanufactured ink cartridge are disclosed, comprising: an original ink cartridge 1, an original chip 2 mounted on the upper side of the original ink cartridge 1, a mounting shell 3 on one side of the original ink cartridge 1, a support block 4 fixedly connected to one side of the mounting shell 3, a pressure plate 5 rotatably fitted to the inner wall of the support block 4, a new chip 6 disposed inside the mounting shell 3, two slots 7 formed on the lower side of the mounting shell 3, a snap-fit ​​mechanism 8 disposed inside the slots 7, and two snap-fit ​​blocks 15 fixedly connected to one side of the pressure plate 5. The snap-fit ​​blocks 15 cooperate with the slots 7, and the original chip 2 and the new chip 6 are electrically connected. Two pressure strips 9 are fixedly connected to the lower side of the pressure plate 5, and a protective washer 10 is fixedly connected to one side of the inner wall of the mounting shell 3, the protective washer 10 cooperating with the new chip 6. Two fixing blocks 11 are fixedly connected to both sides of the mounting shell 3, and fixing bolts 12 are rotatably fitted to one side of each fixing block 11. Multiple threaded holes 13 cooperating with the fixing bolts 12 are formed on one side of the original ink cartridge 1. The original ink cartridge 1 is equipped with a cover plate 14 on its lower side, and the cover plate 14 is detachably connected to the fixing block 11.

[0040] Implementation process: When in use, a threaded hole 13 is made on one side of the recycled original ink cartridge 1. The mounting shell 3 is fixed and installed using the fixing block 11 and fixing bolt 12. The pressure plate 5 is rotated to open, and the new chip 6 is placed into the mounting shell 3 according to the pin connection. The pressure plate 5 is rotated to limit the new chip 6. Under the action of the pressure strip 9 and the protective washer 10, the connection effect between the new chip 6 and the original chip 2 is increased. Then, under the action of the snap-fit ​​mechanism 8, the original ink cartridge 1 snaps and limits the pressure plate 5, thereby fixing the new chip 6.

[0041] Benefits of implementation: It facilitates the rapid installation of the new chip 6 and ensures a stable connection. The new chip 6 connects with the original chip 2 to enable data transmission and exchange, and connecting different chips can expand the functionality, thereby enabling the remanufacturing and reuse of the original ink cartridge 1.

[0042] Example 2

[0043] The locking mechanism 8 includes a mounting groove 81 formed on one side of the inner wall of the locking slot 7. A pull block 82 is slidably fitted onto the inner wall of the mounting groove 81. A trapezoidal insert 83 is fixedly connected to one side of the pull block 82, and a spring 84 is fixedly connected to the other side of the pull block 82. Trapezoidal slots 85 are formed on opposite sides of the two locking blocks 15. The trapezoidal insert 83 cooperates with the trapezoidal slot 85, and one end of the spring 84 is fixedly connected to one side of the inner wall of the mounting groove 81.

[0044] Implementation process: When the pressure plate 5 is rotated to press and fix the new chip 6, the locking block 15 rotates into the locking slot 7, squeezing the trapezoidal insert 83. The trapezoidal insert 83 is compressed by the spring 84 and the spring 84 contracts. When the locking block 15 rotates to the corresponding position, under the action of the spring 84, the trapezoidal insert 83 is connected to the trapezoidal slot 85 on the locking block 15, thus limiting the locking block 15. When it is necessary to disassemble and replace the new chip 6, pull the two pull blocks 82 to separate the trapezoidal insert 83 from the trapezoidal slot 85, remove the limitation on the pressure plate 5, and open the pressure plate 5 to disassemble the new chip 6.

[0045] Benefits of implementation: By using the connection between the trapezoidal insert 83 and the trapezoidal slot 85, the pressure plate 5 is limited, so that the pressure plate 5 limits the installation of the new chip 6, thereby improving the ease of installation and removal of the new chip 6 and facilitating subsequent maintenance.

[0046] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the present utility model and are not intended to limit the technical solutions described in the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, the present utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments described above. Therefore, any modifications or equivalent substitutions to the present utility model, and all technical solutions and improvements that do not depart from the spirit and scope of the invention, are covered within the scope of the claims of the present utility model.
