Since the floating joint 93 of the connecting member 9 is connected to the linking rod 44, the floating joint 93 is linked with the third bearing 92, i.e. both move on the second guide rail 15 through the fourth slider 94, and the second guide rail 15 is disposed on the fixing plate 11. In this embodiment, the third bearing 92 moves in the left-front direction, since the third bearing 92 pushes the probe assembly 31 to move in the left-front direction by pressing the first positioning groove 341, but due to this state the third bearing 92 moves in the first seating section in the first seating groove 341, the first positioning section is parallel to the left-right direction (i.e., the second direction) of the chip data rewriting device, so that due to the existence of the left-right space, the third bearing 92 does not give a force for pressing the first seating groove 341 to move left and right in the first seating section, and in the present embodiment, thereby limiting the freedom of movement of the probe transition plate 313 or the probe assembly 31 to the left, the third bearing 92 presses the front end surface of the first positioning groove 341, pushing the first positioning member 34, so that the detecting mechanism 3 starts to move forward under the action of the driving mechanism 4, that is, the probe translation plate 321 is moved forward along the third guide rail 16 by the first slider 322. Meanwhile, due to the matching limit function of the second positioning groove 331 and the first bearing 36, the probe translation plate 321 can stably move forward along the third guide rail 16. At this time, as the detection mechanism 3 starts to move forward, the probe translation plate 321 of the detection mechanism 3 will drive the push rod 7 to move forward together with the sliding push block 8. Since the first track groove 71 of the push rod 7 is substantially L-shaped, the first pulley 54 moves upward along the inclined path of the first track groove 71, and drives the pressing plate fixing member 52 to rotate downward around the second bearing 53. At this time, the upper platen 51 is gradually moved toward the upper surface of the cartridge assembly 10. Since the second rail groove 81 of the sliding push block 8 is substantially Z-shaped, the second pulley 65 first moves along the parallel path of the second rail groove 81, and thus the lateral pressure unit 6 does not move in the left-right direction, and the lateral pressure unit 6 does not move in the direction approaching the ink cartridge unit 10.

Referring to fig. 7 and 13, fig. 7 is a schematic diagram showing a state of completion of the pressing up of the chip data rewriting apparatus. As shown in fig. 7, the handle 41 is pushed or pulled to be substantially vertical, and the linkage 44 is pushed to move forward, which is the same as the above-mentioned moving situation, and the detection mechanism 3 is moved forward. Therefore, the probe translation plate 321 of the detection mechanism 3 will drive the push rod 7 and the sliding push block 8 to move further forward. At this time, the first pulley 54 has passed through the inclined passage area of the first rail groove 71, and the subsequent movement will move on the parallel passage of the first rail groove 71, so that the platen fixing member 52 is not further rotated downward around the second bearing 53. The upper platen 51 has now completed positioning the cartridge assembly 10 in the vertical up and down direction, and the upper platen 51 is now parallel to the horizontal direction and maintains that state during subsequent movement. That is, the first completion in the chip rewriting process of the chip data rewriting apparatus is the up-and-down positioning operation of the ink cartridge assembly 10 by the up-pressing assembly 5. At the same time, the second pulley 65 moves along the parallel path of the second rail groove 81 to the beginning of the inclined path. When the handle 41 is pushed further, the second pulley 65 will move along the inclined path to move the side pressure assembly 6 toward the cartridge assembly 10.

Referring to fig. 8 and 13, fig. 8 is a schematic diagram showing a side pressure completion state of the chip data rewriting apparatus. As shown in fig. 8, the handle 41 is pushed or pulled to move downward, and the linkage 44 is pushed to move forward, which is the same as the above-mentioned moving situation, and the probe translation plate 321 is moved forward. Therefore, the probe translation plate 321 will drive the push rod 7 and the sliding push block 8 to move further forward. At this time, the first pulley 54 is located on the parallel channel of the first track groove 71, so that the pressing plate fixing member 52 is not further driven to rotate downward around the second bearing 53 when the push rod 7 continues to move forward, and the state of the pressing assembly 5 is not changed. Since the second rail groove 81 of the slide push block 8 is substantially Z-shaped, the second pulley 65 passes through the inclined passage of the second rail groove 81, and the second pulley 65 is located at the end of the inclined passage. That is, when the side pressure unit 6 has completed positioning the ink cartridge unit 10, the push rod 61 presses the ink cartridge in the left-right direction (i.e., the second direction).

Referring to fig. 9, 10, 13 and 14, fig. 9 is a schematic view of the chip data rewriting device in a proximity detection state position, fig. 10 is a partial view of the chip data rewriting device of the present application in the proximity detection state position, facing the detection window, and fig. 14 is a perspective view of an ink cartridge (the surface of the ink cartridge chip facing the right in the orientation of the present embodiment). As shown, the handle 41 has been pushed or pulled to approach the final position, and in the process of transition from the state of fig. 8 to the state of fig. 9, the handle 41 continues to move, and the movement of the detection mechanism 3 is changed, and at this time, the third bearing 92 is located at the initial end of the second positioning segment of the first positioning slot 341, that is, as the linkage 44 pushes, the floating joint 93 drives the third bearing 92 to continue to move on the second guide rail 15 through the fourth slider 94, and in this embodiment, the third bearing 92 moves to the left front direction, and because of the second positioning segment of the first positioning slot 341, the third bearing 92 can move in the protruding space, and the third bearing 92 can no longer push the probe transit plate 313 to move forward by pressing the front end surface of the first positioning member 34, and at this time, the detection mechanism 3 as a whole can not move forward on the third guide rail 16 through the first slider 322, i.e. the probe 311 is already in place in the desired position in the forward direction and does not need to continue moving forward. At this time, the third bearing 92 is located at the initial end of the second positioning segment of the first positioning element 34, the linkage 44 continues to extend along the front of the axis thereof, the floating joint 93 is pushed to drive the third bearing 92 to move together on the second guide rail 15 through the fourth slider 94, the third bearing 92 is moved in the left-front direction, when the probe transition plate 313 is released from moving forward, the third bearing 92 presses the left end surface of the first positioning groove 341, thereby pressing the first positioning element 34 leftward, the probe transition plate 313 is driven to move leftward along the fourth guide rail 323 through the second slider 324, and at this time, the first bearing 36 passes through the first position-limiting segment which is not located in the second positioning groove 331, and due to the protruding space of the second position-limiting segment of the second positioning groove 331 toward the right, the first bearing 36 can be accommodated in the protruding space of the second position-limiting segment of the second positioning groove 331, the probe transition plate 313 is not blocked by the first bearing 36 and moves smoothly to the left. Before the probes 311 move to the left, as shown in fig. 10, for the partial view of the detection window 102, it can be seen that the probe tips 311a of the probes 311 have not yet contacted the cartridge chip 103 of the cartridge 101.

Referring to fig. 11 to 15, fig. 11 is a schematic view of a position of a chip data-rewriting device in a detection state according to the present application, fig. 12 is a partial view of a detection window of the chip data-rewriting device in a detection state according to the present application, and fig. 15 is a schematic view of an ink cartridge assembly according to the present application. As shown in fig. 12, it can be seen that when the probe 311 of the detecting mechanism 3 is in the detecting position, the probe head 311a of the probe 311 will contact the cartridge chip 103 of the ink cartridge 101, as a result of the probe transition plate 313 being pushed to the left by the third bearing 92 on the fourth guide rail 323 via the second slider 324, so as to perform an upgrading or rewriting operation on the cartridge chip by the device connected to the detecting mechanism 3. It should be noted that, when the first pulley 54 is located on the parallel path of the first rail groove 71 and the second pulley 65 is located on the parallel path of the second rail groove 81, the states of the upper pressure assembly 5 and the side pressure assembly 6 are not changed continuously. After the chip is upgraded or rewritten, the driving mechanism 4 is operated in the opposite direction, so that the respective mechanisms of the chip data rewriting apparatus can be reset to the initial state, and then the cartridge assembly 10 is taken out.

Fig. 14 is a perspective view of an ink cartridge (the cartridge chip surface facing the right in the present embodiment). The ink cartridge 101 is only an example, the ink cartridge required to have other structural shapes is not limited in this application, in this embodiment, it is only required that the orientation or normal direction of the surface of the ink cartridge chip 103 is the right of the position of this embodiment, in other embodiments, the orientation or normal direction of the surface of the ink cartridge chip 103 may be the left of the position of this embodiment, and accordingly, only the deflection direction and deflection angle of the axis where the linkage rod 44 is located need to be modified, the probe 311 may be in contact with the ink cartridge 101 in the same mechanism moving manner as described above, and thus, the whole structural composition is not described again.

Fig. 15 is a schematic view of the cartridge assembly 10. In the present example, the ink cartridge assembly 10 includes five ink cartridges side by side, and may include only four, three, and the like, according to the actual situation, without limitation. The corresponding mounting 2 and probe 311 of the detection mechanism 3 also need to be modified to match different types of packages. The front end of the ink box component 10 is provided with a detection window 102, and the detection window 102 can expose the chip of the ink box on the outer surface, so that the ink box does not need to be taken out of a paper box when the chip is upgraded and rewritten, and the operation time and the cost are saved. After the cartridge assembly 10 is completely packaged, the front end detection window 102 is covered with a layer of heat-shrinkable film, so that the chip of the cartridge can be prevented from being damaged due to dust or impurities. When the chip of the ink box needs to be upgraded, the heat shrinkage film on the surface of the detection window 102 can be directly punctured by the probe 311, and the operation of upgrading and rewriting is not influenced. Three positioning windows 104 are respectively arranged at two sides of the ink box assembly 10, and in the installation process, the three push rods 61 in the side pressure assembly 6 penetrate through the three positioning windows 104 to perform a pressing operation towards the middle on the ink box in the ink box assembly 10, so that the ink box is positioned in the left and right direction (namely the second direction). The chips at the front end of the ink cartridge thus correspond one-to-one to the probes 311 in the left-right direction (i.e., the second direction).

The above description is only for the preferred embodiment of the present application, but the scope of the present application is not limited thereto, and any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope of the present application should be covered within the scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application shall be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
