The invention provides a consumable
chip and a working method thereof, a consumable container and an imaging device, the consumable
chip is detachably installed on the consumable container, the consumable container is detachably installed in the imaging device, the consumable
chip comprises a substrate, an electronic module is arranged on the substrate, the electronic module and the imaging device can communicate with each other, and the electronic module can communicate with the imaging device. The surface of the substrate is also provided with a plurality of terminals, and the plurality of terminals at least comprise data terminals. The method comprises the steps that after an electronic module receives an installation
verification instruction, if the installation
verification instruction represents that a consumable container is installed in
imaging equipment and a
data terminal and other terminals are not short-circuited, a response
signal is sent in a first response mode, and if the installation
verification instruction is the installation verification instruction representing that the consumable container can execute the imaging operation, sending a response
signal in a second response mode at least once. The invention further provides a consumable container with the consumable chip and
imaging equipment. According to the invention, the existing consumable chip can meet the installation verification requirement of the
imaging equipment.
