Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model specifically relates to a highly versatile toner cartridge chip slot structure. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the chip slot structure of similar toner cartridges on the market is basically based on 1-3 commonly used chip specifications, which limits their versatility. The selection of chip materials is also limited, only a few chips with the same specifications can be chosen. Chips outside the specified specifications cannot be installed or have defects after installation and cannot work stably.

[0003] Different toner cartridge chip manufacturers design and produce chips based on their own conditions. Apart from the necessary compatibility specifications, other external specifications can be significantly modified, such as the thickness and length of the PCB board. The circuit design, components, and process selection also affect the overall thickness of the chip. The two influence each other, resulting in various differences in PCB board thickness, overall thickness, length, and identification features that distinguish the installation direction among toner cartridge chips on the market. Some specifications differ significantly. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0014] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments: like Figures 1 to 5The present invention preferably provides a highly versatile toner cartridge chip slot structure, including a base structure 1 that can be mounted on a toner cartridge holder. The base structure 1 is an asymmetrical trapezoidal shape, with slots 2 on its top, bottom, and sides. Clips 3 for fixing chips are provided on both sides inside the base structure 1. Internal alignment structures 4 for accommodating various chip models are provided on the clips 3 and the base structure 1. The asymmetrical trapezoidal base structure is designed for secure mounting on the toner cartridge holder. The slots at the bottom, top, and sides each serve different purposes: the top slot guides the contact points within the printing equipment to quickly align with the chip contact surface and maintain centering; the side slots are used for chip installation and removal, and can be used for most chip types; the bottom slot is for chips with a large overall thickness, preventing components from being pushed against, scratched, or loosened and damaged during chip installation. The clips are used to clamp and fix the installed chip. The internal alignment structure is used to align different types of chips using different structures, so that chips of various types can be installed securely without structural interference.

[0015] The base structure 1 described in this utility model consists of a front plate 11, a rear plate 12, and a left side plate 13. The front plate 11 is angled to facilitate installation and fastening to the drum unit.

[0016] The base structure 1 described in this utility model is a trapezoidal structure that is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom.

[0017] In this invention, the slot 2 is an open structure of varying sizes located on the top, bottom, and right side of the base structure 1. The slots on the bottom, top, and sides each serve different purposes: the top slot guides the contact points within the printing device to quickly align with the chip contact surface and maintain centering; the side slot is used for chip installation and removal, and can be used for most chip adaptations; the bottom slot is used for chips with significant thickness, preventing components from being pushed against, scratched, or loosened / damaged during chip installation. In this invention, the clips 3 are disposed in the middle of the front and rear sides of the base structure 1, and a space for chip installation is formed between the two clips 3. This space narrows from left to right. The space between the two clips, which narrows from left to right, allows chips that exceed specifications to still be firmly fixed between the two clips at one end even at their limits. The non-parallel arrangement, with a slightly larger distance on the right open side and a slightly smaller distance on the left, facilitates chip clamping during installation.

[0018] The internal alignment structure 4 described in this utility model includes steps 41 and 42 symmetrically arranged on the clips 3 of the front plate 11 and the rear plate 12. A ramp 43 is provided at the right end of steps 41 and 42. A step 44 is provided on the clips 3 of the rear plate 12. A ramp 45 is provided at the right end of step 44. A groove 46 is provided on the top of the left side plate 13. The ramps 41 and 42 facilitate chip installation guidance. Steps 41 and 42 have different heights to accommodate various chip sizes and correspond to the protruding shapes of different chip models (e.g., PCB boards). The groove is provided for some chip models with outward-facing manufacturer markings on the side to avoid structural interference that could lead to improper installation. In some older chip designs, larger components (e.g., capacitors) are used, increasing the chip's weight, especially on the component mounting side. Step 46 specifically supports these types of chips.

[0019] In this invention, the front plate 11 and the rear plate 12 are provided with oblique protrusions 5 at their tops. This is to facilitate the quick alignment of the contact points inside the printing device with the chip contact surface and to keep them centered.
