TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of printing equipment, in particular to a processing cartridge and a printing equipment using the same. BACKGROUND
[0002] The printer is an indispensable device in people's daily life and office. When the carbon powder in the printer is used up, the processing cartridge needs to be replaced. The processing cartridge calculates the remaining carbon powder in the processing cartridge through the chip arranged on the shell and informs the user that the carbon powder is about to be used up and the processing cartridge needs to be replaced. In the prior art, the chip mounting position is arranged outside the processing cartridge, and the connection is realized by contacting the conductive contact or directly inserting the crystal head arranged on the processing cartridge in a plug-in manner. The plug-in process by the conductive contact contacting mode can cause the chip to wear, the chip is exposed outside the processing cartridge and is easy to be contaminated, and there is a connection failure risk. The connection by the crystal head direct insertion mode is relatively stable, but the processing cartridge is a consumable, and the setting of the crystal head has a relatively high cost. SUMMARY
[0003] In order to solve the above problems, the paper box is provided, which prevents the user from adjusting the gauge to the wrong position and is convenient for the user to operate.
[0004] The technical scheme adopted by the embodiment of the present application is as follows:
[0005] A processing cartridge is provided, which comprises a shell and a cover plate mounted on the shell, and further comprises a chip accommodated in the cover plate, wherein a connecting line is arranged on the chip, one end of the connecting line is electrically connected with the chip, and the other end of the connecting line extends to the outside of the cover plate.
[0006] The processing cartridge as described above, wherein a sliding groove is arranged on the shell, and the chip is inserted into the sliding groove.
[0007] The processing cartridge as described above, wherein a positioning protrusion is arranged on the shell, and a positioning groove matched with the positioning protrusion is arranged on the chip.
[0008] The processing cartridge as described above, wherein the chip is inserted into the sliding groove along the direction in which the cover plate and the shell are mounted.
[0009] The processing cartridge as described above, wherein the chip is arranged at the non-driving end of the processing cartridge.
[0010] The processing cartridge as described above, wherein a powder inlet and a powder outlet are arranged on the shell, and the chip and the powder inlet and the powder outlet are located at the same end of the processing cartridge in the length direction of the processing cartridge.
[0011] The processing cartridge as described above, wherein the powder inlet and the powder outlet are located on the outside of the cover plate.
[0012] In the processing box described above, the chip is located between the powder inlet and the powder outlet in the vertical direction of the processing box.
[0013] A printing apparatus is also provided, comprising the processing cartridge described in any of the preceding claims.
[0014] The printing device described above has a port that is electrically connected to the connecting cable.
[0015] This invention protects the chip by placing it inside the cover of the processing box and connecting it to the outside via a connecting wire. This prevents damage to the chip contacts from plugging and unplugging, and also prevents contamination from toner and paper dust inside the printing equipment and processing box, ensuring good communication of the chip.

[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.
[0021] like Figures 1-4 The illustration shows a processing cartridge 1, which includes components such as a photosensitive drum and a developing roller for imaging, as well as a housing 5 for mounting these components. A cover plate 2 is mounted on the end of the housing 5, and the cover plate 2 houses a chip 3. The chip 3 stores information such as the toner level in the processing cartridge 1. Therefore, the chip 3 is configured to be electrically connected to and communicate with a printing device. A connecting wire 4 is provided on the chip 3, with one end electrically connected to the chip 3 and the other end extending to the outside of the cover plate 2, electrically connected to a port inside the printing device. Simultaneously, the chip 3 can communicate with the printing device. This configuration protects the chip 3, preventing damage to its contacts from unplugging and plugging, and also prevents contamination from toner and paper dust inside the printing device and processing cartridge, ensuring reliable communication of the chip 3.
[0022] In order to facilitate the installation of the chip 3, a sliding slot 51 is arranged on the shell 5, the chip 3 is inserted into the sliding slot 51, the width of the sliding slot 51 is slightly smaller than the thickness of the chip 3, the interference installation is realized, the sliding slot 51 can hold the chip 3, and the stable installation of the chip 3 is ensured. But it cannot be too small, so that the chip 3 cannot be inserted, and it is easy to be forced too much, which leads to the damage or scratch of the chip 3. Further, in order to facilitate the positioning and alignment of the chip 3 before installation, the positioning protrusions are arranged on the shell 5, the positioning grooves matched with the positioning protrusions are arranged on the chip 3, and the chip 3 can be prevented from being installed reversely through the cooperation of the positioning protrusions and the positioning grooves. Further, the chip 3 is inserted into the sliding slot 51 along the direction in which the cover plate 2 and the shell 5 are installed, so that the operator can very conveniently insert the chip 3 into the sliding slot 51 by hand.
[0023] The installation structure of the chip 3 is described above, and the installation position of the chip 3 will be described below.
[0024] In order to reduce the influence of the vibration of the processing box on the chip 3 during work, leading to poor contact of the chip 3, the chip 3 is arranged at the non-driving end of the processing box. Since the driving mechanism of the processing box has occupied one end of the processing box, there is no extra space, therefore, the powder inlet 52 and the powder outlet 53 located on the shell 5 of the processing box are arranged at the same end in the length direction of the processing box, so that the volume of the processing box can be reduced as much as possible, but it is necessary to ensure that the chip 3 is not polluted by the carbon powder of the powder inlet and the powder outlet, therefore, the powder inlet 52 and the powder outlet 53 are arranged on the outer side of the cover plate 2.
[0025] Since the powder inlet and the powder outlet also occupy a certain space, in order to facilitate the operator to install the chip 3, the chip 3 is located between the powder inlet and the powder outlet in the vertical direction of the processing box, so that the installation route of the chip 3 is not blocked by the powder inlet and the powder outlet, and space is saved.
[0026] Although the embodiments disclosed in the present application are as above, the content described above is only the embodiment adopted for facilitating the understanding of the technical scheme of the present application, and is not used to limit the present application. Any person skilled in the art of the present application can make any modification and change in the implementation form and details without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application disclosed, but the patent protection scope of the present application shall be subject to the scope defined by the appended claims.
