[0034] like Figure 1-7As shown, an easy-to-install printer ink cartridge includes a cartridge body 101 and a cover plate 102. The cartridge body 101 is used to hold ink, and the cover plate 102 is placed on the cartridge body 101. The bottom of the cartridge body 101 has an ink guide hole that connects to the print head to ensure that ink can be supplied smoothly to the print head. The side wall of the cartridge body 101 has metal contacts. When the ink cartridge is installed in the printer, the metal contacts are used to establish an electrical connection between the printer and the ink cartridge, which facilitates the control of the ink cartridge. The cartridge body 101 has multiple ribs 103. The side wall of the ribs 103 has a sloping groove. The ribs 103 are slidably disposed on the side wall of the cartridge body 101. The ribs 103 are made of rubber so that when the inner wall of the ink cartridge mounting area is pressed against the sloping groove, the ribs 103 deform. When installing the ink cartridge, simply align the ink cartridge with the mounting area, and the ribs 103 will automatically reset under the action of elasticity and snap into the inner wall of the mounting area to achieve a stable installation.

[0035] Furthermore, a first connecting rod 104 is provided on the side wall of the box body 101, a protruding rib 103 is provided on the first connecting rod 104, and a second connecting rod 105 is provided on the first connecting rod 104, with the second connecting rod 105 located on the end face of the box body 101.

[0036] The box body 101 has a mounting frame 106 on its side wall. The first connecting rod 104 passes through the mounting frame 106. The first connecting rod 104 has a first spring, and one end of the first spring abuts against the inner wall of the mounting frame 106.

[0037] Preferably, the ink cartridge mounting area is provided with a groove corresponding to the rib 103. When connecting the ink cartridge, simply push the ink cartridge normally into the mounting area to complete the installation. When removing the ink cartridge, push the second connecting rod 105 to move it. The second connecting rod 105 drives the first connecting rod 104 to move. The rib 103 moves so that the rib 103 is misaligned with the groove at the mounting area, which makes it easy to remove the ink cartridge from the printer for replacement or refilling.

[0038] Furthermore, the inner wall of the box 101 is provided with a protrusion, and the cover plate 102 is provided with a third connecting rod. The protrusion is provided with a connecting groove corresponding to the third connecting rod.

[0039] The third connecting rod has a slot and a fixing block. The connecting slot has a fixing slot on its side wall, and the fixing block has an inclined surface. The third connecting rod is made of plastic.

[0040] The bottom of the cover plate 102 is provided with a movable groove, the third connecting rod is located in the movable groove, the third connecting rod is provided with a second spring, one end of the second spring abuts against the inner wall of the movable groove; one end of the movable groove is provided with a through groove.

[0041] When assembling the ink cartridge, the cover plate 102 is placed on the cartridge body 101, and the third connecting rod is inserted into the connecting groove. The inclined surface of the fixing block contacts the inner wall of the connecting groove. The fixing block abuts against the inner wall of the connecting groove, causing the connecting rod to deform. When the cover plate 102 abuts against the top of the cartridge body 101, the fixing block moves to the fixed position and inserts into the fixing groove, fixing the cover plate 102 onto the cartridge body 101, thus achieving a stable connection between the cover plate 102 and the cartridge body 101. When it is necessary to remove the cover plate 102, a push rod is inserted into the through groove to push the third connecting rod to move in the movable groove. The fixing block moves with the third connecting rod, causing the fixing block to move out of the fixing groove, making it easy and quick to remove the cover plate 102 from the cartridge body 101. In addition, the third connecting rod is made of plastic, which has a certain degree of elasticity, making it easy for the fixing block to be inserted and removed. At the same time, the plastic material also reduces the overall weight, making it easier for users to operate.

[0042] Furthermore, the cartridge body 101 is provided with an ink storage chamber 107, which contains a sponge 108 and a pressure plate 109. The pressure plate 109 is made of ferromagnetic metal, and an electromagnet is provided at the bottom of the ink storage chamber 107. The pressure plate 109 provides pressure to the sponge 108, squeezing the sponge 108 to squeeze out the ink inside, ensuring normal ink dispensing from the ink cartridge. When the ink in the ink cartridge is used up, the electromagnet is activated. The electromagnet generates magnetism, attracting the pressure plate 109 to move downward. The downward movement of the pressure plate 109 squeezes the sponge 108, squeezing out the remaining ink that cannot flow out from the sponge 108. The remaining ink in the sponge 108 is recycled, reducing ink waste.

[0043] The above description is merely a selection of preferred embodiments of this disclosure and an explanation of the technical principles employed. Those skilled in the art should understand that the scope of the utility model involved in the embodiments of this disclosure is not limited to the technical solutions formed by specific combinations of the above-described technical features, but should also cover other technical solutions formed by arbitrary combinations of the above-described technical features or their equivalents without departing from the above-described inventive concept.
