Description

Packing carton and package assembly

Technical Field

The invention relates to the technical field of printing and imaging, in particular to a packaging box and a packaging assembly.

Background

In the printing process, a printing device (such as an inkjet printer, a laser printer, a multifunctional all-in-one machine, etc.) needs consumable cartridges such as an ink cartridge, a powder cartridge and a toner cartridge, wherein the ink cartridge contains ink, and the powder cartridge and the toner cartridge contain carbon powder. These printing supplies have a shorter life than printing apparatuses, and therefore require the user to purchase and replace consumable cartridges regularly during use, which are generally placed in packaging boxes and sold in the form of packages after packaging.

In order to record the use condition of the consumable box installed on the printing equipment and identify and authenticate the consumable box, a detachable consumable chip, such as a toner cartridge chip on a toner cartridge, is installed on the consumable box and is used for storing relevant data of the toner cartridge, such as toner color, authentication code, serial number, residual toner amount, page yield (maximum value of printable pages), printed pages, manufacturer, production date and the like. In order to improve the authentication capability of consumable chips, original manufacturers often upgrade the firmware of printing equipment, for example, for sold printing equipment, a new verification mode is applied to the printing equipment through firmware pushing and user downloading and installing modes; for printing devices that have not been sold or are in production, the latest firmware is applied to the printing device and then sold. New authentication methods often include enabling new instructions, blacklisting serial numbers, reading more data, etc.

Current consumptive material box is when selling, is capsulated in the packing carton, if need rewrite data or upgrade to the consumptive material chip on the consumptive material box, then need demolish the packing. On the other hand, even if the window is opened on the packaging box, the consumable chip can be read, written and upgraded through the window, but different consumable boxes are different in shape, and the mounting position of the consumable chip is not convenient for reading, writing and upgrading. In addition, in order to facilitate reading, writing and upgrading of the chip, a larger window may need to be opened, which may cause great influence on the sealing performance and the anti-collision performance of the package. To the position of consumptive material chip apart from the apparent package far away of packing carton, read and write, upgrading equipment need set up slender test head, and the contact on the consumptive material chip is less, if will ensure the contact of the stable electric contact of test head to the consumptive material chip, will firmly fix the consumptive material chip, however, it is more difficult to fix the consumptive material chip outside the packing carton.

Therefore, when the consumable chip in the packaging box is read, written and upgraded, a wireless mode is gradually adopted. The consumable chip is passive power supply, and the wireless signal that needs to send from consumable chip repair equipment obtains electric power and is used for making the consumable chip be in normal operating condition.

However, for the consumable chip on the consumable box far away from the side wall of the packaging box, the problem that the power signal cannot be stably received often occurs, so that smooth reading and writing or wireless upgrading cannot be completed.

In addition, the consumable box and the consumable chip do not need to be accurately fixed through the upgrading scheme of the invention, so that the fixing difficulty of the consumable box and the consumable chip can be reduced.

The packaging box and the packaging assembly provided by the embodiment of the invention are explained in detail with reference to the specific embodiment.

Example A consumable Cartridge

As shown in fig. 1, an embodiment of the invention provides a consumable cartridge 1, which includes a consumable housing and a consumable chip 10.

The consumable box 1 may be any one of printing consumables such as an ink cartridge, a powder cartridge or a toner cartridge.

The consumable housing of the consumable cartridge 1 is provided as a chamber that can accommodate a recording material. When the consumable cartridge 1 is an ink cartridge, the recording material is ink loaded in the ink cartridge; when the consumable cartridge 1 is a powder cartridge, the recording material is carbon powder loaded in the powder cartridge; when the consumable cartridge 1 is a toner cartridge, the recording material is carbon powder loaded in the toner cartridge.

The consumable chip 10 is detachably and/or fixedly installed on the consumable cartridge 1, and the consumable chip 10 may record the use condition of the consumable cartridge 1 installed on the printing apparatus and perform identification and authentication on the consumable cartridge 1, and the like.

The consumable chip 10 comprises a chip 11 and a wireless circuit 12, and the chip 11 is connected with the wireless circuit 12. In other embodiments, the consumable chip 10 may also integrate the chip 11 and the wireless circuit 12 together and be implemented by a circuit (e.g., a consumable chip with functions of a wireless circuit).

The chip 11 includes a memory circuit and a control circuit; the control Circuit is used for receiving external instructions and commands and responding to the instructions and commands, and the control Circuit may be a controller or a Central Processing Unit (CPU) for executing programs or instructions, or an Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) for executing Specific logic functions, such as a hardware encryption algorithm, a Digital Signal Processor (DSP), and the like; the storage circuit is used for storing information related to the consumable chip and the consumable box. For example, when the chip 11 is a toner cartridge chip, the toner cartridge chip on the toner cartridge is used to store data related to the toner cartridge chip and the toner cartridge, such as toner color, authentication code, toner serial number, chip serial number, remaining toner amount, page yield (maximum value of printable page number), printed page number, manufacturer, production date, and the like, the chip 11 may further include a circuit board carrying a storage circuit and a control circuit, and a communication circuit for communication with the printing apparatus, where the communication circuit may be a contact, an antenna, or a coil, and the consumable chip may communicate with the printing apparatus in a contact or non-contact manner.

The wireless circuit 12 is a circuit for realizing wireless communication between the chip 11 and the consumable chip repair device, and includes a receiving module for receiving signals, where the receiving module may specifically include an antenna or a coil, and a processing module for detecting, filtering or demodulating the received signals, and a power supply module for receiving wireless power or power supply energy from the consumable chip repair device, and including rectification and voltage stabilization. The WIreless circuit 12 may be implemented by Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), WIreless-Fidelity (WiFi), bluetooth, infrared, Frequency modulation, ZigBee, NFC, 2.4G, or other types of technologies as needed.

Since the consumable cartridge 1 is not installed in the printing apparatus and is not supplied with external power, if the consumable cartridge 1 does not have a self-contained power supply (such as a battery or a button cell), the wireless circuit 12 needs to receive a wireless power signal in addition to a wireless communication signal, so as to enable the chip 11 to operate normally. The radio circuit 12 may take two different forms of implementation depending on the application scenario and cost considerations. One is to combine the wireless communication function and the wireless power supply function into one, for example, a wireless circuit using RFID technology, which can be used with an operating frequency of 13.56MHz in consideration of transmission speed and cost. Since the RFID technology needs to supply power and transmit wireless signals at the same time, the communication distance is short (e.g., 3 cm) in a passive manner, and close communication is required. The power transmitted by RFID technology needs to supply power to the chip 11 in addition to the radio circuit 12, and therefore this two-in-one approach is less suitable in scenarios where high power or long distances are required.

When long-distance (for example, more than 3 cm) wireless communication is required or the chip 11 requires large power, another implementation of the wireless circuit is to implement the wireless communication function and the wireless power supply function by different circuit structures, for example, bluetooth, RFID technology, and 2.4G wireless technology are used to receive and transmit wireless communication signals, and wireless power supply technology on a mobile terminal such as a mobile phone is used to receive wireless power signals. The wireless power supply technology of the mobile terminal has various technical schemes and standards, such as Qi standard, PMA standard, A4WP standard, innpofi technology and Wi-Po technology, according to the principle of electromagnetic induction, and the verification function in the standards can be adopted or not according to the actual needs. Because the wireless power supply technology of the mobile terminal can provide wireless power supply power of more than 10 watts, which is far higher than the power transmitted by the RFID, the requirement of a high-power consumable chip can be met.

The 2.4G wireless technology has the frequency band between 2.405GHz and 2.485GHz, the cost and the speed are more advantageous than those of Bluetooth, and the 2.4G wireless technology has the data transmission speed of 2M in theory and is doubled compared with the 1M theoretical transmission speed of Bluetooth; 2.4G wireless technology is more the WIFI power saving, is fit for the scene that need not super large capacity data transmission, and its wireless communication distance can exceed 2 meters moreover, more is fit for the packaging mode that packing carton lateral wall was kept away from to this kind of consumptive material chip of figure 5. The 2.4G wireless technology adopted by the invention can be realized by 2.4G wireless transceiver modules such as the existing CC2500, SX1280, nRF24L01, JF24D, nRF2401AG, BK2411 and the like.

However, in the wireless mode capable of realizing a long distance or high power, the consumable chip end requires active power supply, and thus, the consumable box needs to have a space capable of accommodating a power supply (such as a storage battery and a button battery) and the like, however, many conventional consumable boxes do not have redundant space for accommodating the power supply, otherwise, the consumable chip cannot be in good contact with the printing equipment; the power supply is added, the excessive precious space is occupied, and the cost is greatly improved. The power supply is carried out by adopting a high-power mode, the power consumption is greatly improved, the electromagnetic radiation is increased, and the electromagnetic compatibility problem needs to be considered.

The connection between the chip 11 and the wireless Circuit 12 can be made in various ways, for example, by a wire or a Flexible Printed Circuit (FPC), the chip 11 can be carried on a rigid Circuit board, and the wireless Circuit 12 can be carried directly on the FPC board with a Flexible flat cable. The electrical connection of the chip 11 to the radio circuit 12 can be made by means of connectors, such as an FPC socket on the chip 11, while the radio circuit 12 is an FPC board; on the other hand, the wireless circuit 12 can be soldered to the chip 11 by a conventional soldering method, or bonded together by a conductive double-sided tape, and both the chip 11 and the wireless circuit 12 have electrical contacts for soldering and bonding; the radio circuit 12 may be electrically connected to the chip 11 by a clamp, a clip, or the like.

Example construction of the packaging case

As shown in fig. 2, an embodiment of the present invention provides a packaging box 2, which includes a box body 21, the box body 21 is provided with a first cavity, and the box body 21 can be folded and opened or opened and closed to accommodate the consumable box 1 in the first cavity.

The shape of the box body 21 can be a cube or a cuboid which is convenient to stack and place. The case body 21 may be made of corrugated paper, kraft paper, coated paper, foam, plastic, white board paper, white cardboard, bobbin paper, etc.

When the consumable cartridge 1 is housed in the cartridge body 21, the wireless circuit 12 is disposed at a position relatively close to the side wall of the cartridge body 21 in order to facilitate better communication of the consumable chip repair device with the chip 11. Even if the chip 11 is set at a position relatively far away from the side wall of the box body 21 because of original setting (i.e. the chip 11 and the printing device are required to be set at a predetermined position of the consumable box when the consumable box 1 is installed in the printing device), since the chip 11 and the wireless circuit 12 can be connected through a wire, the consumable chip repairing device can still complete the upgrading treatment of the chip 11 through the wireless circuit 12 close to the side wall of the box body 21 without dismantling the packaging box 2. In order to confirm the position of consumptive material chip 10 or wireless circuit 12 outside box body 21 for the convenience, can set up figure, colour, characters or structural mark in the surface department that box body 21 corresponds with the position of consumptive material chip 10 or wireless circuit 12, when utilizing consumptive material chip repair equipment to carry out processing to the box body 21 that holds consumptive material box 1 like this, can dock transmission wireless signal's antenna or coil fast accurately.

When the shape of the consumable box 1 is regular, the volume is small, the weight is light or the anti-seismic performance is good, in order to reduce the packing material and improve the space utilization rate of the box body 21, the box body 21 of fig. 3 is suitable for the packaging mode of the consumable box 1. Considering some transportation requirements and quality requirements, when the shock resistance of the consumable box and the shape of the consumable box may not be square, the consumable box cannot be directly placed into the box body 21, but some shock-resistant, fixed or protective materials are padded between the consumable box 1 and the box body 21. Fig. 5 illustrates an example of a cartridge body 21 accommodating the consumable cartridge 1, which is proposed to solve such a problem. In fig. 4 and 5, a first bracket 23 is arranged in the packaging box 2, the consumable box 1 is placed in the first bracket 23, and the consumable box 1 is fixed or supported in the box body 21 through the first bracket 23, so that the consumable box 1 is prevented from shaking in the box body 21, or the first bracket 23 can play the roles of buffering and shock absorption. In contrast to fig. 3, the cartridge body 21 in fig. 5, which houses the consumable cartridge 1, further includes a first bracket 23. Although in fig. 4 and 5 the first carrier 23 is a single piece that completely surrounds the consumable cartridge 1, in other embodiments the carrier may be made of several parts instead of being a single piece, such as supports that support the consumable cartridge 1 only at several corners of the consumable cartridge 1. The first bracket 23 or the supporting member may be made of a material such as a paper sheet, a sponge, a plastic frame, a foam frame, or an air bag, which plays a role of fixing, supporting, or cushioning.

It should be noted that the first bracket 23 is provided with a cavity for accommodating the consumable box 1, the shape of the cavity of the first bracket 23 can be matched with the outer contour of the consumable box 1, and the outer contour of the first bracket 23 can be matched with the first cavity of the box body 21.

When this kind of box body 21 that holds consumable box 1 of fig. 3 does not have the packaging mode of bracket, support piece, as shown in fig. 6, the consumable chip 10 or the wireless circuit 12 in the box body 21 that holds consumable box 1 are in the position of pressing close to the lateral wall of box body 21 relatively, and the consumable chip repair equipment can utilize radio signal to pierce through box body 21 and consumable chip 10 or wireless circuit 12 and carry out wireless communication like this to the realization is handled the upgrading of consumable box 1.

And when this kind of box body 21 that holds consumable box 1 of fig. 5 has additionally set up the packing mode of bracket, support piece, as shown in fig. 7, because the influence of bracket, the consumptive material chip 10 or the wireless circuit 12 in the box body 21 that holds consumable box 1 is in the position of keeping away from the lateral wall of box body 21 relatively, and consumptive material chip repair equipment can't utilize radio signal to carry out wireless communication with consumptive material chip 10 or wireless circuit 12 like this, because the wireless communication mode such as conventional RFID, NFC can't carry out communication so far. Therefore, the consumable chip repair device cannot normally and efficiently upgrade the consumable cartridge 1 without changing the position of the consumable chip 10 or the wireless circuit 12 (the vertical distance between the consumable chip and the cartridge body 21).

In order to solve the problem that the consumable chip 10 or the wireless circuit 12 on the consumable box 1 far away from the side wall of the box body 21 cannot be upgraded wirelessly, the packaging box 2 further comprises a first wireless relay assembly 22 which is positioned in the first cavity; the first wireless relay assembly 22 includes a first input part 221, a first output part 222 and a first wire 223, the first wire 223 is connected to the first input part 221 and the first output part 222, the first input part 221 is disposed near the box body 21, the first output part 222 is disposed near the consumable chip 10 or the wireless circuit 12, and the first wireless relay assembly 22 is configured to transfer a wireless power signal between the consumable chip repairing device and the consumable chip 10 or the wireless circuit 12 of the consumable box 1. Specifically, the first wireless relay assembly 22 receives the wireless power signal output by the consumable chip repairing device, and transmits the received wireless power signal to the consumable chip 10 or the wireless circuit 12 of the consumable box 1 in a relay manner, so that the consumable chip can be upgraded while maintaining the sealing property of the packaging box 2, and the consumable chip 10 or the wireless circuit 12 can be upgraded wirelessly while being away from the sidewall of the box body 21. The upgrading scheme of the embodiment of the invention has no requirement or strict requirement on the installation positions of the fixed consumable box 1 and the consumable chip 10, and is more flexible to use.

If the consumable box 1 is not provided with a power supply (such as a battery), the wireless signals between the consumable chip repair device and the consumable chip 10 or the wireless circuit 12 of the consumable box 1 are wireless communication signals and wireless power signals; if the consumable box 1 has a self-contained power supply (such as a battery), the wireless signal between the consumable chip repair device and the consumable chip 10 or the wireless circuit 12 of the consumable box 1 is a wireless communication signal.

As described above, in the case of not using a power supply, it is critical to ensure stable communication, and the wireless communication signals are in various manners, which may be short-distance or long-distance, so that the first wireless relay assembly 22 should at least be capable of switching wireless power signals, and certainly, may also be capable of switching wireless communication signals at the same time.

When the first tray 23 is provided in the packing box 2, the consumable cartridge 1 may be fixed in the first tray 23, the first input part 221 may be fixed on a sidewall of the cartridge body 21, the first output part 222 may be fixed on the first tray 23, and the first input part 221 and the first output part 222 may be connected by the first wire 223.

The first input member 221 may be fixed on a surface of a sidewall of the case body 21, or may be fixed in the sidewall of the case body 21, and is not specifically configured here. The preferred place in the lateral wall, convenient transportation, storage are also neater.

The first output member 222 may be fixed to an outer wall of the first bracket 23 or may be fixed to an inner portion of the first bracket 23, and is not specifically provided here. The first output member 222 may be fixed in a fastening manner, or may be fixed in a detachable manner, preferably, the first output member is fixed in a detachable manner, so that the first output member is convenient to recycle and protects the environment.

The first lead 223 may be a flexible lead or a rigid lead, and is not specifically configured here. The length of the first wire 223 can be adjusted according to actual needs. Preferably, flexible wire, and first wire 223 can be long, can be short, when consumptive material chip 10 is far away from the packing carton, can adopt longer wire, can adopt shorter wire when consumptive material chip 10 is nearer apart from the packing carton, certainly also can be applied to the condition of shorter distance with longer wire, no matter where consumptive material chip 10 is located, the packing carton shape is how, can all pass through the setting of position through first wireless relay subassembly 22, make things convenient for consumptive material chip repair equipment to upgrade, and can effectively solve the inconvenience that consumptive material chip mounted position restriction brought.

When the first input unit 221 is an input coil and the first output unit 222 is an output coil, the number of turns and the area of the input coil and the output coil may be set differently in consideration of the damage of wireless transmission. For example, the input coil may have more turns and larger area than the output coil for more received wireless signals. In order to allow more active redundancy space when communicating with the consumable cartridge 1, the area of the output coil may be larger than the area of the coil in the consumable chip 10 or the wireless circuitry 12, so that even if the consumable chip 10 or the wireless circuitry 12 is not perfectly aligned with the output coil, due to the larger area covered by the output coil, it is effectively ensured that at least part of the output coil covers the consumable chip 10 or the wireless circuitry 12.

Optionally, in order to confirm the position of the first input member 221 outside the box body 21, a graphic, a color, a text or a structural mark may be disposed on the outer surface of the box body 21 corresponding to the position of the first input member 221, so that when the packaging box 2 containing the consumable box 1 is processed by the consumable chip repairing device, an antenna or a coil for transmitting a wireless signal may be docked quickly and accurately.

Compared with the one-to-one relay approach of fig. 9, another one-to-many relay approach is shown in fig. 10.

When one first control circuit is arranged between the first input member 221 and the plurality of first output members 222, the first control circuit can control the plurality of first output members 222 to simultaneously output wireless signals or selectively output wireless signals by one or a plurality of first output members 222 according to requirements, which has positive significance in preventing signal collision and conflict, on the other hand, when the plurality of consumable material boxes 1 are upgraded, the same number of first input members 221 do not need to be arranged, and the line cost can be saved.

Before the upgrade process is started, in order to save energy or reduce heat generation, the consumable chip repair device may not supply power to the wireless module 44, and may be in a stop state. In particular, the coil of the wireless power supply module 441 generates a large amount of heat, and therefore, it is better to start supplying power to the wireless module 44 only when the packaging box 2 accommodating the consumable cartridge 1 is recognized by manually activating the consumable chip repair device or the control switch 46. The upgrading process includes the steps of firstly providing power to the first wireless relay assembly 22 or the power module of the wireless circuit 12 through the wireless power supply module 441 to ensure that the consumable chip 10 is in a normal working state, and then controlling the wireless communication module 442 to communicate with the receiving module of the wireless circuit 12 through the antenna by the device host. After receiving the wireless communication signal through the antenna, the receiving module of the wireless circuit 12 performs demodulation, decoding and protocol conversion which may be required through the processing module, and forwards the signal sent by the consumable chip repair device to the chip 11, thereby completing the upgrade processing of the chip 11.

In this embodiment, the first wireless relay assembly 22 is configured to relay the wireless power signal without relaying the wireless communication signal, and in other embodiments, the first wireless relay assembly 22 may also relay the wireless communication signal, which is not limited herein.

Therefore, by adopting the consumable chip repairing equipment and the packaging box 2 containing the consumable box 1 provided by the embodiment of the invention, when the consumable chip 10 needs to be upgraded, the packaging box does not need to be dismantled and repackaged, and the consumable chip does not need to be taken down from the consumable box, so that the upgrading treatment is carried out under the original packaging condition without dismantling the packaging box, the upgrading treatment efficiency can be greatly improved, and the packaging material and the rework cost are saved. Meanwhile, the consumable chip 10 can be supplied with stable power supply during wireless upgrading, normal transmission of communication signals is guaranteed, the work of a user or an operator in the process of reading and writing or upgrading the consumable chip 10 is liberated, and the situation that the consumable box 1 is shifted to cause power or communication interruption is avoided.

Similar to the requirements of the previous embodiment, the wireless module 44 should be located at a position corresponding to the consumable chip 10 or the wireless circuit 12 after the packaging box 2 containing the consumable box 1 is placed in the opening 431 (as shown in fig. 20), so as to ensure that the wireless module 44 can be used to upgrade the consumable box without manually adjusting the position of the wireless module 44 after the packaging box 2 containing the consumable box 1 is placed in the fixture 43.

Optionally, when the wireless modules 44 respectively provide the wireless communication signal and the wireless power supply signal to the packaging box 2 containing the consumable box 1 through different circuit structures, the plurality of wireless modules 44 include a plurality of wireless power supply modules 441 and at least one wireless communication module 442, the wireless power supply modules 441 are used for transmitting the wireless power supply signal to the consumable chip 10 or the first wireless relay assembly 22, and the wireless communication module 442 is used for transmitting the wireless communication signal to the consumable chip 10 or the first wireless relay assembly 22.

In an alternative embodiment, fig. 21a shows that a wireless communication module 442 and a plurality of wireless power supply modules 441 are included on the fixture 43, such wireless communication module 442 can adopt 2.4G technology and can communicate one-to-many at a longer distance, and when the wireless communication module 442 performs upgrading treatment on a plurality of packaging boxes 2 containing consumable boxes 1, the upgrading treatment can be performed sequentially and one by one. As described above, the wireless communication module 442 is connected to the controller 42, and the plurality of wireless power supply modules 441 may be connected to the controller 42 or may not be connected to the controller 42 but independently supplied with power through a single power supply device 45.

Further, the number of the wireless communication modules 442 corresponds to the number of the wireless power supply modules 441.

In an alternative embodiment, one wireless power module 441 and one wireless communication module 442 are provided in fig. 21b at each opening 431 in the clamp 43, both connected to the controller 42 and signaled by the controller 42. Such a wireless communication module 442 may employ RFID technology or 2.4G technology, and may perform one-to-one near field communication, in which manner, a plurality of packaging boxes 2 containing consumable cartridges 1 may be upgraded by the consumable chip repair device in parallel and simultaneously/synchronously.

In another alternative embodiment, in fig. 21c, the plurality of wireless power supply modules 441 are separated from the wireless communication module 442, and the plurality of wireless power supply modules 441 are independently powered by another power supply device 45.

Optionally, when the plurality of packaging boxes 2 containing the consumable boxes 1 are upgraded by the consumable chip repairing apparatus, the controller 42 controls the plurality of wireless power supplying modules 441 to transmit the power supplying sequence of the wireless signal to the consumable chips 10 or the first wireless relay assemblies 22, so as to avoid the problem of signal collision and collision caused by the close distance between the plurality of packaging boxes 2 containing the consumable boxes 1.

Specifically, the controller 42 controls the power supply time of each wireless power supply module 441 on the clamp 43 in fig. 21a, and the controller 42 supplies power to the wireless power supply modules 441 one by one in a sequential power supply mode, so that the powered packaging box 2 containing the consumable material box 1 can communicate with the wireless communication module 442, and in such a mode, the consumable chip repairing device upgrades the packaging box 2 containing the consumable material box 1 one by one, and in such an asynchronous mode, the problem of collision and conflict of wireless communication signals among a plurality of packaging boxes 2 containing the consumable material boxes 1 can be solved.

In other implementation manners, when bluetooth, WIFI and 2.4G technologies are adopted, the communication distance is relatively far, and a plurality of packaging boxes 2 containing consumable boxes 1 have a larger probability of generating collision and conflict of wireless communication signals. Therefore, a unique address/identification code may be assigned to each wireless circuit 12 in the packaging box 2 containing the consumable cartridge 1, and the controller 42 may send a wireless communication signal with the communication address/identification code, and the wireless circuit 12 may receive the signal and determine whether to respond to the received wireless communication signal according to its own address/identification code. The method for assigning a unique address/identification code to each wireless circuit in each packaging box 2 containing a consumable box 1 has the disadvantages that the controller 42 needs to be ensured to know the address/identification code of each packaging box 2 containing a consumable box 1 in advance, the management of the address/identification code is troublesome, the management cost is increased, only one wireless module is activated at the same time by adopting the asynchronous operation mode, the activation mode can be automatically carried out according to the loading sequence, manual operation and the like, and the method is flexible, convenient and low in cost.

Alternatively, the wireless module 44 may also be a wireless module that transmits a wireless communication signal and a wireless power supply signal at the same time, for example, a wireless module that uses the RFID technology described above.

For the package box 2 adopting the RFID technology, since the communication distance is short, the chance that signal collision exists among a plurality of package boxes 2 containing the consumable box 1 is small, and an anti-collision mechanism may not be provided.

Optionally, in order to manage the signals of the wireless module 44 in a unified manner, the consumable chip repairing apparatus further includes a wireless control board 47, the wireless control board 47 is connected between the controller 42 and the plurality of wireless modules 44, and the wireless control board 47 is used for switching the wireless signals between the controller 42 and the plurality of wireless modules 44.

The control switch in this embodiment has the same structure as the control switch 46 provided in the fourth embodiment, and can bring about the same or similar technical effects, and details are not repeated herein, and specific reference can be made to the description of the above embodiments.

Optionally, the wireless control board 47 receives the control signal from the controller 42, and controls the power supplying sequence of the plurality of wireless power supplying modules 441 to transmit the wireless power supplying signal to the consumable chip 10 or the first wireless relay assembly 22 according to the control signal, so as to avoid signal collision and collision caused by the close distance between the plurality of packaging boxes 2 containing the consumable boxes 1.

Specifically, the wireless control board 47 sequentially transmits the received communication signals to the consumable chip 10 through the wireless communication module 442 according to the power supply sequence.

The process of upgrading a plurality of packaging boxes 2 containing consumable boxes 1 may be:

first, in the insertion and approach step, the packing box 2 containing the consumable cartridge 1 is inserted into the opening 431 of the jig 43, so that the wireless module 44 is brought close to the consumable chip 10 or the wireless circuit 12 in the packing box 2 containing the consumable cartridge 1, and if the first wireless relay assembly 22 is further provided, the coil of the wireless power supply module 441 is brought close to the input coil of the first wireless relay assembly, thereby providing a condition that the power can be wirelessly transmitted in a short distance.

Secondly, starting up the upgrading process. If the consumable chip repair device does not have the automatic triggering and starting functions, after the placing and approaching steps, the user manually inputs an instruction for starting the upgrading process on the device shell 41, so that the device shell 41 can start the upgrading process. If the control switch 46 shown in fig. 15 is provided on the jig 43 of the consumable chip repair apparatus, the upgrade process may be started in the manner described in the foregoing embodiment. If the consumptive material chip repair equipment can also set up the function/module whether the packing carton 2 that holds the consumptive material box 1 is close to of the initiative survey, discernment of the aforesaid embodiment, can also initiatively discern being close to and start the upgrading processing of the packing carton 2 that holds the consumptive material box 1.

And finally, upgrading. In the step of upgrading, if there is no signal collision or collision problem to be solved, the controller 42 may control the plurality of wireless modules 44 to upgrade the plurality of packaging boxes 2 containing the consumable boxes 1. If there is signal conflict, the condition of collision, then controller 42 of the consumable chip repair device can control to provide the signal to one of the wireless power supply modules 441 in the fixture first, so that the packaging box 2 which contains the consumable box 1 and corresponds to this wireless power supply module 441 can firstly receive the upgrade processing of the consumable chip repair device, after the upgrade processing of the packaging box 2 which contains the consumable box 1 is completed, controller 42 can control to provide the signal to another wireless power supply module 441 in the fixture 43 first, and then upgrade processing is performed on another packaging box 2 which contains the consumable box 1 until the upgrade processing is completed on all packaging boxes 2 which contain the consumable box 1 in the fixture 43, and when the controller 42 does not have such signal conflict prevention and collision functions, the signal conflict prevention and collision can also be completed by the wireless control panel 47.

In this embodiment, the wireless module 44 may be a wireless communication module employing RFID technology, which can simultaneously transmit a wireless communication signal and a wireless power supply signal to the packaging assembly housing the consumable cartridge. In another embodiment, the wireless module may include a wireless power module 441 for wireless power supply and a wireless communication module 442 for wireless communication, in which case, the wireless power module 441 only needs to be disposed in the placement area 434, and the wireless communication module 442 may be implemented by using the aforementioned RFID, WiFi, bluetooth, 2.4G, etc. technologies, and thus placed in the fixture 43 without being required in the placement area 434.

Further, when there is no second wireless relay assembly 32 in the packaging box 3, the second wireless relay assembly 32 includes a second input element, a second output element and a second conducting wire, the second input element is an input coil, the second output element is an output coil, the second conducting wire is a long conducting wire, the input coil and the output coil are electrically connected through the long conducting wire, the input coils of the second wireless relay assemblies 32 are fixed on the integrated board 321, the output coils of the second wireless relay assemblies 32 are respectively close to one consumable chip 10 or the first wireless relay assembly 22, and the clamp 43 is arranged close to the integrated board 321 when the clamp 43 is matched with the packaging box 3.

Fig. 28 is a schematic view showing an upgrade process of the packaging box 3 by the consumable chip repair device using the wireless module 44 placed on the jig 43. One suction area 311 is provided in the packing case 3, and one or more magnets or magnetite (black dots 312 in the drawing) are provided in the suction area 311. Correspondingly, a magnetic material may be disposed on the contact surface of the clamp 43 contacting the packing box 3, for example, as shown in fig. 29, a magnetic material 436 may be disposed on the contact surface 435 of the clamp 43, the magnetic material 436 may be a magnet or a magnet, the magnetic material 436 may be disposed on the clamp 43, or may be disposed on the packing box 3, or both. Thus, when the contact surface 435 of the clamp 43 is close to the consumable chip repairing apparatus, the clamp 43 can be adsorbed to the adsorption region 311 of the packaging box 3, so that the controller of the consumable chip repairing apparatus can perform an upgrade process on the packaging box 3 using the clamp 43. The above-mentioned control switch 46 may be provided on the gripper 43, and the control switch 46 is activated when it is sucked to the packing case 3, or a manually controlled switch may be provided on the gripper 43, and the switch is manually activated to perform the upgrade process when the user determines that the gripper 43 has been sucked to the packing case 3.

Through this kind of absorbent anchor clamps 43, can accomplish the wireless upgrading of consumptive material chip repair equipment and the packing carton 2 that holds consumable box 1 fast, consequently can promote the efficiency of upgrading. In other embodiments, the packaging assembly containing the consumable box can be replaced by the packaging box 2 containing the consumable box 1, the single packaging box 2 containing the consumable box 1 is upgraded by using the adsorption mode, and only one wireless module is included in the clamp 43 at this time.

In order to know whether the packaging box 2 containing the consumable box 1 has finished upgrading, indicators such as an LED (light emitting diode) and the like (or sound and light means such as a buzzer, light or a combination of the buzzer and the light) can be arranged on the packaging box 2, the indicators are connected to the consumable chip 10, and after upgrading, the display/broadcast mode of the indicators (LED) is changed and is easy to be identified by a user. For example, the consumable chip 10 may control the LED to flash during the upgrade process; when the upgrade process is finished, it is determined that the received signal is abnormal or the upgrade process cannot be completed according to the signal, which results in a failure of the upgrade process, and the LED may be controlled to be normally on for several seconds, for example, 1 second. And when the upgrading treatment is successful, the LED can be controlled to be automatically turned off.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the contacts of the communication circuit on the consumable chip 10 are used for data access and communication verification electrically connected to the printing and imaging device, and may specifically include, for example, power contacts, clock contacts, data contacts, ground contacts, reset contacts, chip select contacts, and the like, or contacts with multiple functions, such as single bus protocol contacts that can transmit power, clock, and data simultaneously.

In addition, it should be further noted that, when the wireless communication mode adopts a protocol capable of transmitting wireless signals in a long distance, the wireless communication module may be further disposed in the consumable chip repair device, and may be an independent wireless communication module, or may be integrated in the controller, the controller transmits a power supply sequence of the wireless power signal to the consumable chip or the first wireless relay assembly by controlling the wireless power supply module (when the wireless power module includes only the wireless power supply module, the wireless power module may be the wireless power module), and the controller completes transmission of the wireless communication signal with the consumable chip in sequence through the wireless communication module according to the power supply sequence.

As shown in the attached drawing, the wireless module is connected with the controller through a long lead, and the clamp can move relative to the shell, so that the distance is adjustable, the packaging box can be conveniently tested, and the distance can be unlimited.
