The imaging cartridge chip is replaceably mounted in an imaging cartridge containing imaging material, and the imaging cartridge is replaceably mounted in the imaging apparatus.

Detailed Description
The invention will be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings and the detailed description below:
in order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a general chip for an imaging cartridge, which includes a storage module 1, a receiving module 2, a sending module 3, and a logic module 4. The receiving module 2, the sending module 3 and the storage module 1 are respectively connected with the logic module 4, and the storage module 1 can be an EEPROM, a FLASH or a ROM or other memories for storage.
The storage module 1 is used for storing imaging box data, and it should be noted that more than two sets of imaging box data are stored in the storage module 1. Each of the imaging box data at least comprises identification data representing the model of the imaging device, so that each group of imaging box data is applicable to different models of imaging devices. For example, a set of imaging cartridge data shown in fig. 4a is suitable for an imaging device model a, and a set of imaging cartridge data shown in fig. 4a is suitable for an imaging device model B. The imaging box data can be three groups, five groups or ten groups, and the specific group number can be set according to actual needs.
The receiving module 2 is used for receiving instructions sent by the imaging device, wherein the instructions comprise verification instructions for requesting to verify the imaging box data. It should be noted that the instructions may also include a read instruction, a write instruction, and the like. The receiving module 2 can also be used for receiving information such as random numbers, keys, encryption algorithms and the like sent to the imaging box general chip by the imaging equipment.
And the sending module 3 is used for sending a group of imaging box data to the imaging device in whole or in part according to the instruction. When the instruction is a verification instruction for verifying whether the imaging box data is matched with the model of the imaging device, the imaging box data sent by the sending module 3 at least comprises identification data representing the model of the imaging device.
The logic module 4 is configured to confirm whether to communicate with the image forming apparatus using the component cartridge data transmitted by the transmission module 3. After the sending module 3 sends the imaging box data to the imaging device according to the verification instruction, the imaging device can judge whether the imaging box data is matched with the imaging box data according to the identification data representing the type of the imaging device in the imaging box data, and sends a corresponding verification result to the imaging box universal chip.
Preferably, the verification result includes: a verification result of successful matching, or a verification result of unsuccessful matching or failed matching. For example, if the matching is successful, the verification result of the matching is sent to the receiving module 2, otherwise, the verification result of the matching failure or the non-matching is sent to the receiving module 2. The verification result of successful matching, or the verification result of failed matching or unmatched matching is sent to the logic module 4 through the receiving module 2. The confirmation unit 42 confirms that the component image cartridge data transmitted by the transmission module 3 is communicated with the image forming apparatus when the logic module 4 receives the verification result of successful matching, otherwise the logic module 4 confirms that the component image cartridge data transmitted by the transmission module 3 is not communicated with the image forming apparatus.
Wherein, the verification result of successful matching may be: the receiving module 2 receives an instruction which is sent by the imaging device and confirms that the imaging box data is matched with the model of the imaging device, or the receiving module 2 does not receive a verification instruction which is sent by the imaging device again within a preset time, or the instruction received by the receiving module 2 is one of non-verification instructions. The verification result of unsuccessful or failed matching may be: the receiving module 2 receives one of the instruction for confirming that the imaging box data sent by the imaging device is not matched with the model of the imaging device, or the receiving module 2 receives the verification instruction sent by the imaging device again within the preset time, or the logic module 4 can not identify the verification instruction.
Preferably, the logic module 4 includes a determination unit 41 and a confirmation unit 42 connected to the determination unit 41.
The judging unit 41 is configured to judge whether the corresponding image forming cartridge data matches the model of the image forming apparatus according to a verification result of the image forming apparatus verifying the image forming cartridge data. The judging unit 41 may be connected to the receiving module 2, and when the receiving module 2 receives the verification result, the verification result may be sent to the judging unit 41 for judgment, or of course, the judging unit 41 may judge whether the imaging cartridge data matches the model of the imaging device when the receiving module 2 receives the verification instruction within the predetermined time. For example, if the verification instruction retransmitted by the imaging device is received within 1 microsecond, the matching is failed; if the received instruction is a non-verification instruction within 1 microsecond, the matching is successful.
The confirmation unit 42 is configured to confirm communication with the image forming apparatus using the corresponding cartridge data when the result of judgment by the judgment unit 41 is affirmative. The result is positive, that is, the corresponding imaging box data is matched with the model of the imaging device.
Preferably, the logic module 4 may further include a pointing unit. The pointing unit is configured to point to another set of image forming cartridge data to communicate with the image forming apparatus when the judgment result of the judging unit 41 is negative, wherein the another set of image forming cartridge data is image forming cartridge data that has not been verified by the image forming apparatus. The result is negative, which means that the corresponding image forming cartridge data does not match the model of the image forming apparatus. It is of course also possible to mark the imaging cartridge data that does not match the model of the imaging apparatus by the pointing unit. The marking may be in the form of adding marks to or modifying marks in the marking landmarks in the imaging setup data. For example, when the imaging data is not verified, the flag bit is empty, and when the result is negative, a 1 or 0 may be set in the flag bit or other data may be marked; or the imaging data is not verified, the flag bit is marked with data, and when the result is negative, the flag bit can be erased or the flag can be modified.
As a preferred scheme, an embodiment of the present invention further provides an imaging cartridge, including a cartridge body for placing an imaging material and an imaging cartridge universal chip, where the imaging cartridge universal chip is mounted on the cartridge body, and the imaging cartridge universal chip is the imaging cartridge universal chip described in any of the above embodiments. The imaging box universal chip is detachably arranged on the box body, and when the imaging box universal chip needs to be replaced, the imaging box universal chip on the box body can be taken down and other imaging box universal chips or other similar chips can be installed.

The imaging device is internally provided with a mainboard which can communicate with the imaging box universal chip. Whether the imaging box chip can be used by the imaging equipment can be verified through the main board.
As a preferred solution, the embodiment of the present invention further provides a using method, including the following steps:
in step S01, the imaging cartridge mounted with the imaging cartridge general chip is mounted in the imaging device, so that the imaging cartridge general chip is powered on with the imaging device. After the power is turned on, the imaging device sends an instruction for verifying whether the imaging box universal chip is matched with the imaging device to the universal chip, or can be said to be a verification instruction for verifying the validity of the imaging box universal chip. The imaging box universal chip is internally stored with more than two groups of imaging box data; the imaging cartridge universal chip may be the imaging cartridge universal chip described in the above embodiments.
In step S02, the image-box-generic-chip receives an instruction sent by the imaging device, where the instruction includes a verification instruction. The instructions are described in the above embodiments, and are not described herein. In particular, the instruction may be received by the receiving module 2.
And step S03, the image box universal chip sends a group of image box data to the image forming device according to the instruction. The imaging device can verify the component image cartridge data. And when the instruction is a verification instruction, the imaging box data sent by the imaging box universal chip contains identification data of the type of the imaging equipment. When the command is a read command for reading the serial number, the imaging box universal chip sends imaging box data containing the serial number to the imaging box.
And step S04, receiving the verification result sent by the imaging device, and judging whether to adopt the set of imaging box data to communicate with the imaging device according to the verification result. If so, the communication with the image forming apparatus is continued using the component image cartridge data, otherwise, the execution of step S02 or S03 is continued with the replacement of another component image cartridge data. The step S04 further includes the following sub-steps:
step S041, judging whether the imaging box data is matched with the model of the imaging device or not according to the verification result;
step S042, if matching, confirming communication with the image forming apparatus using the corresponding image forming cartridge data.
If the imaging box data is not matched with the model of the imaging device, the method also comprises the following steps:
step S042', a group of imaging box data which is not matched with the model of the imaging device is marked;
step S043', another set of imaging cartridge data is acquired. The other component image cartridge data is then returned to step S03, i.e., the other component image cartridge data is communicated with the image forming apparatus. Wherein the other set of imaging cartridge data is imaging cartridge data that has not been validated by the imaging device. Each of the image forming cartridge data includes at least identification data representing a model of the image forming apparatus.
Referring to fig. 4a to 4e, the imaging cartridge universal chip, the imaging cartridge, the imaging system and the using method of the present invention are further described by taking the imaging device as a printer, the imaging cartridge as a toner cartridge and the imaging cartridge universal chip as a toner cartridge chip,
for example, the printer model is E, and when the toner cartridge with the cartridge chip mounted thereon is mounted on the printer, the printer is powered on, so that the cartridge chip can communicate with the printer. The printer sends a validation command "2B 9F BD 939D 937B 669617" to the cartridge chip, and after the cartridge chip receives the validation command, the data in area a in the storage module 1 (shown in fig. 4a as the imaging cartridge data of model a) may be stored. After the printer receives the data of the area A, the printer cannot identify the imaging box data with the model A. At this point the printer may issue a second validation command "2B 9F BD 939D 937B 669617" to the cartridge chip, which may store data for sector B in module 1 (shown in fig. 4B as imaging cartridge data for model B). After the printer receives the data in the area B, the printer may not recognize the imaging cartridge data of the model B, at this time, the printer may issue a verification instruction "2B 9F BD 939D 937B 669617" for the third time, then the data in the area C and the data in the area D … …, and so on until the cartridge chip sends the data in the area E in the storage module 1 (as shown in fig. 4E, it represents the imaging cartridge data of the model E) to the printer, and at this time, the printer sends a verification result that the matching is successful to the cartridge chip. The printer will issue a command for successful matching to the compact chip. For example, the instruction whose match was successful may be an instruction that includes "D8 DB 7727". After the logic module 4 receives the instruction, the imaging box data in the area E is considered to be matched with the printer, and the powder box chip continues to send other imaging box data in the area E after the verification is passed, so that the printer works normally. Or the consumable chip does not receive the 2B 9F BD 939D 937B 669617 within the preset time, or the received instruction is not the 2B 9F BD 939D 937B 669617, the area powder box data is considered to be matched with the model of the imaging device. It should be noted that the above verification sequence is only an example, and the data in the E-field may also be verified when the imaging cartridge universal chip receives the verification instruction for the first time, and may also be verified for the second time or the third time, etc.
Of course, the verification instruction may also be an instruction including one of a timing when the imaging device accesses the general-purpose chip, an EEPROM address in the general-purpose chip, or a communication voltage between the imaging device and the general-purpose chip.
In summary, the imaging cartridge universal chip, the imaging cartridge, the imaging system and the using method of the invention only need to store the plurality of groups of imaging cartridge data in the imaging cartridge universal chip respectively, and then verify the groups of imaging cartridge data respectively. In the prior art, a model is determined firstly, and then corresponding data is called according to the model to communicate with imaging equipment, so that a program of a chip needs to be changed in a research and development process. In addition, the imaging box universal chip and the use method thereof directly verify the imaging box data in the storage module 1 with the imaging equipment respectively until the verification is passed in the verification process, thereby avoiding the situation that the imaging box universal chip cannot accurately judge the type of the imaging equipment and respond to different types of imaging equipment with similar communication signal characteristics.
It should be noted that: the embodiments described above are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of them. As used in the examples and the appended claims, the singular forms "a", "an", and "the" are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. Various other modifications and changes may be made by those skilled in the art based on the above-described technical solutions and concepts, and all such modifications and changes should fall within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
