The second conductive portion 312 of the electrical connector 300 may be exposed through the cutout hole 600 on the side of the photosensitive cartridge 200 opposite to the developing cartridge 100. In use, the second conductive portion 312 may contact and be electrically connected to the chip contact electrode of the host in the image forming apparatus.

When multiple electrical connectors 300 are provided, the multiple electrical connectors 300 can be arranged sequentially along the first direction M and are insulated from each other.

[0055] In this embodiment, when the processing box 1000, whose chip 400 position is misaligned with the chip contact electrode, is installed on the host, the chip 400 and the chip contact electrode can be connected by the electrical connecting piece 300. That is, the chip 400 and the chip contact electrode can be indirectly electrically connected by the electrical connecting piece 300. This allows the processing box 1000, whose chip 400 position is misaligned with the chip contact electrode, to be successfully electrically connected to the host.

[0056] Example 2

[0057] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the embodiment provides a processing box 1000, which, based on embodiment one, further includes:

[0058] In some embodiments, the chip 400 may be disposed on the side of the developing cartridge 100 facing the photosensitive cartridge 200, and the electrical connector 300 may be disposed on the side of the photosensitive cartridge 200 facing the developing cartridge 100.

[0059] In some embodiments, the processing cartridge 1000 further comprises a connecting seat 500. The connecting seat 500 is detachably mounted on the photosensitive cartridge 200. In some embodiments, the connecting seat 500 can comprise an integrated connecting seat body 510 and a buckle 520. The electric connecting sheet 300 can be mounted on the connecting seat body 510. The connecting seat body 510, close to one end of the first conductive part 311, can be located on the side of the photosensitive cartridge 200 facing the developing cartridge 100. The connecting seat body 510, close to one end of the second conductive part 312, can pass through the hollow hole 600 and be exposed on the side of the photosensitive cartridge 200 away from the developing cartridge 100.

[0060] In embodiments, the buckle 520 can be protrudingly arranged on the side of the connecting seat body 510 away from the developing cartridge 100. And the buckle 520 can pass through the hollow hole 600 and be clamped on the side of the photosensitive cartridge 200 away from the developing cartridge 100.

[0061] In other embodiments, the connecting seat 500 can also be detachably connected with the photosensitive cartridge 200 by means of screws or the like.

[0062] In embodiments, the electric connecting sheet 300 can be detachably connected with the photosensitive cartridge 200 through the connecting seat 500, that is, the electric connecting sheet 300 is detachably arranged relative to the photosensitive cartridge 200. Thus, according to the mounting position of the chip 400 on the developing cartridge 100, the electric connecting sheet 300 and the connecting seat 500 can be disassembled. When the chip 400 is in position relative to the hollow hole 600 on the photosensitive cartridge 200, the connecting seat 500 together with the electric connecting sheet 300 can be detached from the photosensitive cartridge 200, so that the chip 400 can be directly exposed on the side of the photosensitive cartridge 200 away from the developing cartridge 100 through the hollow hole 600 and can be in contact with the chip contact electrode on the host computer. When the chip 400 is arranged in a staggered manner relative to the hollow hole 600, the connecting seat 500 together with the electric connecting sheet 300 can be mounted on the photosensitive cartridge 200, so that the first conductive part 311 of the electric connecting sheet 300 is in contact with the chip 400. The second conductive part 312 is exposed on the side of the photosensitive cartridge 200 away from the developing cartridge 100 through the hollow hole 600 and can be in contact with the chip contact electrode on the host computer. That is, the chip 400 can be electrically connected with the chip contact electrode on the host computer through the electric connecting sheet 300. Accordingly, the photosensitive cartridge 200 can be adapted for use with different types of developing cartridges 100, thereby improving the compatibility between the developing cartridge 100 and the photosensitive cartridge 200.

[0063] In some embodiments, the processing cartridge 1000 can comprise two, three or four or more electric connecting sheets 300. The plurality of electric connecting sheets 300 can be mounted on the connecting seat body 510 in sequence and at intervals along the first direction M.

[0064] In the embodiment, the first conductive part 311 can be located on the side of the connecting seat body 510 facing the developing cartridge 100, so as to be in contact with the chip 400 for electrical connection. The second conductive part 312 can be located on the side of the connecting seat body 510 away from the developing cartridge 100, so as to be exposed on the side of the photosensitive cartridge 200 away from the developing cartridge 100 and in contact with the chip contact electrode in the main machine for electrical connection.

[0065] In some embodiments, the electrical connecting sheet 300 further comprises a first clamping part 321 and a second clamping part 322. The first clamping part 321 can be connected to the end of the first conductive part 311 away from the second conductive part 312. The first clamping part 321 can be arranged in the connecting seat body 510 and clamped on the side of the connecting seat body 510 away from the developing cartridge 100. The second clamping part 322 can be connected to the end of the second conductive part 312 away from the first conductive part 311.

[0066] In some embodiments, the side of the connecting seat body 510 facing the developing cartridge 100 is further provided with a plurality of first embedding grooves 511, and the plurality of first conductive parts 311 are arranged in the plurality of first embedding grooves 511 one by one. The first conductive part 311 can be limited in the first embedding groove 511 in the first direction M. Thus, short circuit caused by contact between adjacent two first conductive parts 311 can be prevented.

[0067] In addition, the first conductive part 311 can be provided with a bending structure 3111, which can have elasticity and can be elastically deformed. The bending structure 3111 can protrude towards the opening of the first embedding groove 511 on the side of the developing cartridge 100, so as to be in contact with the chip 400 for electrical connection. When the developing cartridge 100 is installed in the photosensitive cartridge 200, the chip 400 can abut against the bending structure 3111 and can cause the bending structure 3111 to be elastically deformed, and the first conductive part 311 can tightly abut against the chip 400. Thus, the electrical connection stability of the first conductive part 311 and the chip 400 can be improved, and the probability of problems such as disconnection can be reduced.

[0068] In other embodiments, the side surface of the first conductive part 311 facing the developing cartridge 100 can also be flush with the side surface of the connecting seat body 510 facing the developing cartridge 100.

[0069] In some embodiments, the plurality of second embedding grooves 512 are formed on the side of the connecting seat body 510 away from the developing cartridge 100, and the plurality of second embedding grooves 512 are in one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of first embedding grooves 511 through the communication holes 513. The electric connecting sheet 300 can pass through the communication holes 513. The plurality of second conductive parts 312 are arranged in the plurality of second embedding grooves 512 in one-to-one correspondence. The second conductive part 312 can be limited in the second embedding groove 512 in the first direction M, so that the short circuit caused by the contact between the adjacent two second conductive parts 312 can be prevented.

[0070] In addition, the side surface of the second conductive part 312 away from the developing cartridge 100 can be flush with the opening of the second embedding groove 512 away from the developing cartridge 100. That is, the side surface of the second conductive part 312 away from the developing cartridge 100 is flush with the side surface of the connecting seat body 510 away from the developing cartridge 100, so that the second conductive part 312 can be in smooth contact with the chip contact electrode in the host.

[0071] In other embodiments, the side surface of the second conductive part 312 away from the developing cartridge 100 can also be protrudingly arranged relative to the side surface of the connecting seat body 510 away from the developing cartridge 100.

[0072] In use, the user can disassemble and assemble the connecting seat 500 and the electric connecting sheet 300 according to the installation position of the chip 400 in the developing cartridge 100, so that the photosensitive cartridge 200 can be used with different models of the developing cartridge 100.
