A first feature being "under," "below," and "beneath" a second feature includes the first feature being directly under and obliquely below the second feature, or simply meaning that the first feature is at a lesser elevation than the second feature.

In the description of the present embodiment, the terms "upper", "lower", "right", etc. are used in an orientation or positional relationship based on that shown in the drawings only for convenience of description and simplicity of operation, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a particular orientation, be constructed and operated in a particular orientation, and thus, should not be construed as limiting the present invention. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used only for descriptive purposes and are not intended to be limiting.

As shown in fig. 1 to 5, the present embodiment provides a connector 1 for electrically connecting two chips. For the convenience of the following description, the two chips are set as the first chip 2 and the second chip 3, respectively. The connector 1 includes an insulative housing 11 and a conductive element 12 disposed on the insulative housing 11. The insulating body 11 serves as a carrying body for the conductive assembly 12, and the conductive assembly 12 is used for electrically connecting the first chip 2 and the second chip 3. The conductive component 12 includes a first pin 121 and a second pin 122 electrically connected. The first pins 121 are used to contact and electrically connect with contacts on the first chip 2. The second pins 122 are used to contact and electrically connect with contacts on the second chip 3. The second pin 122 itself may be deformed to some extent, and the second pin 122 itself also has some elastic restoring force, under which the second pin 122 has a tendency to restore to its original state. Specifically, when the second chip 3 is connected to the connecting component 1, the second chip 3 presses the second pin 122 toward the insulating body 11, the second pin 122 deforms, and meanwhile, the second pin 122 always has a tendency to move toward a direction away from the insulating body 11 under the action of the elastic restoring force of the second pin 122, so as to return to the initial state, so that the second pin 122 can effectively contact and electrically connect with the contact on the second chip 3.

The connecting piece 1 of this embodiment is used for electrically connecting the first chip 2 and the second chip 3, the second pin 122 of the connecting piece 1 is deformable and can effectively contact and electrically connect with the contact on the second chip 3 under the action of its own elastic restoring force, so that the requirement on the precision of the separation distance between the first chip 2 and the second chip 3 is low, and meanwhile, the requirement on the processing precision of the contact on the first chip 2 and the second chip 3 is low, compared with the existing direct contact and electrical connection between the contact on the first chip 2 and the contact on the second chip 3, the connecting piece 1 of this embodiment has low requirements on the processing precision of the contact on the first chip 2 and the second chip 3 and the precision of the mounting positions of the first chip 2 and the second chip 3, and can ensure the effective electrical connection between the first chip 2 and the second chip 3, and the product cost is low.

Optionally, the first pins 121 on the connecting member 1 are soldered to the contacts on the first chip 2, which is simple in process and reliable in connection. Illustratively, the connection member 1 and the first chip 2 are soldered using an SMT soldering process. The insulating body 11 of the connector 1 is preferably a high temperature resistant plastic, which can be reflowed.

The second pin 122 includes a connecting arm 1221 and a contact portion 1222 connected to each other. The connecting arm 1221 is connected to the insulating body 11 through the connecting portion 123, see the following description. The contact portions 1222 are in contact with and electrically connected to the contacts of the second chip 3. When the second chip 3 is assembled and connected to the connector 1, the second chip 3 presses the connecting arm 1221 and slides relative to the connecting arm 1221 until the contact thereon comes into contact with the contact portion 1222.

The connecting arm 1221 is inclined towards a direction away from the insulating body 11, that is, the connecting arm 1221 always tends to be away from the insulating body 11 under the action of its own elastic restoring force, so that the connecting arm 1221 and the contact portion 1222 protrude relative to the insulating body 11, and the contact portion 1222 can contact the contact on the second chip 3. The contact portion 1222 is bent toward the direction away from the insulating body 11, a larger arc-shaped contact area is formed on the side of the contact portion 1222 away from the insulating body 11, so as to ensure the contact area between the contact portion 1222 and the contact on the second chip 3, thereby achieving effective contact, and meanwhile, the bending of the contact portion 1222 toward the direction away from the insulating body 11 can also avoid the upward warping of the connecting arm 1221 under the action of self elastic restoring force, thereby controlling the inclination angle of the connecting arm 1221 relative to the insulating body 11.

The conductive member 12 further includes a connecting portion 123, and two ends of the connecting portion 123 are electrically connected to the first pin 121 and the second pin 122, respectively. Specifically, the connecting portion 123 includes an inserting section 1231 and a supporting section connected at an included angle. The insulating body 11 is provided with an insertion hole 111. The plug section 1231 is connected through the insertion hole 111. Preferably, the plug section 1231 is in interference fit with the receptacle 111, so as to prevent the plug section 1231 from moving in the receptacle 111. Alternatively, the plug section 1231 and the inner wall of the insertion hole 111 may be bonded together by using an adhesive. The end of the inserting section 1231 far away from the supporting section is connected to the first pin 121, and the end of the supporting section far away from the inserting section 1231 is connected to the second pin 122. Illustratively, the first pin 121 is connected perpendicularly to the plug section 1231. The supporting section comprises a first supporting section 1232 and a second supporting section 1233 which are connected, the first supporting section 1232 is vertically connected with the inserting section 1231, and the second supporting section 1233 is connected with the second pin 122 after being bent.

Preferably, the conductive component 12 is formed by bending and integrating, the manufacturing process is simple, and the production efficiency is high. Alternatively, the conductive member 12 is made of a material, such as copper, which is conductive and has a certain strength and elasticity.

In this embodiment, the insulation body 11 is provided with an avoiding cavity 114 communicated with the insertion hole 111, and the support section is located in the avoiding cavity 114. When the second pin 122 is pressed by the second chip 3, the supporting section deforms to some extent along with the second pin 122, the supporting section rotates relative to the inserting section 1231 in a direction away from the second chip 3, and the avoiding cavity 114 allows the supporting section to have enough movement space. Optionally, the avoiding cavity 114 penetrates through the insulating body 11, so as to facilitate processing of the avoiding cavity 114 and installation of the conductive component 12 on the insulating body 11.

Optionally, the insulating body 11 includes a body portion 112 and a protrusion portion 113 disposed at an edge of the body portion 112. Referring to fig. 2, 6 and 7, body portion 112 is configured to be connected to mounting cavity 2011 of mounting member 201, and protruding portion 113 is configured to be connected to mounting groove 2012 of mounting member 201, which communicates with mounting cavity 2011, so as to realize the assembly of connecting member 1 on its mounting carrier (i.e., mounting member 201). When the projection 113 abuts against the bottom wall of the mounting groove 2012, the connector 1 is mounted in place on the mounting member 201. In this embodiment, the protruding portion 113 is provided along the entire circumference of the body portion 112, which improves the connection stability between the connector 1 and the mounting member 201. Optionally, body portion 112 is bonded to the wall of mounting cavity 2011; and/or the protruding part 113 is bonded with the mounting groove 2012, so that the connection between the connecting piece 1 and the mounting piece 201 is realized.

Preferably, the insulation body 11 is formed integrally by injection molding, and has a simple manufacturing process and high production efficiency.

Referring to fig. 5, the present embodiment further provides a chip module 10, which includes the first chip 2 and the above-mentioned connecting component 1. The contacts on the first chip 2 are in contact with and electrically connected to the first pins 121 of the connector 1. The first pins 121 are exemplarily solder connected to contacts on the first chip 2. Illustratively, the connection member 1 and the first chip 2 are soldered using an SMT soldering process. The first chip 2 comprises a first region 21 in contact with the connection 1 and a second region 22 not in contact with the connection 1. Preferably, the thickness of the first region 21 is greater than the thickness of the second region 22 to ensure that the first region 21 has sufficient stiffness during SMT soldering. The chip module 10 can be connected to the second chip 3 through the second pins 122 of the connector 1, and the requirement for the processing precision of the contacts on the second chip 3 is low.

Referring to fig. 6 to 8, the present embodiment further provides a case 20 including a mounting member 201 and the chip module 10 described above. The mount 201 is part of the case 20. The chip module 10 is disposed on the mount 201. Seted up the installation cavity 2011 on the installed part 201, and seted up the mounting groove 2012 that communicates with installation cavity 2011 in the one end of installation cavity 2011 on the installed part 201, insulator 11 includes this body part 112 and sets up the bulge 113 at the edge of this body part 112, and this body part 112 connects in installation cavity 2011, and bulge 113 connects in mounting groove 2012, and first chip 2 sets up in the other end of installation cavity 2011 and is connected with connecting piece 1. When the projection 113 abuts against the bottom of the mounting groove 2012, the connector 1 is mounted in place on the mounting member 201. In this embodiment, the protrusion 113 is disposed along the entire circumference of the body 112, so as to improve the connection stability between the connector 1 and the mounting member 201.

Optionally, body portion 112 is bonded to the walls of mounting cavity 2011; and/or, the protruding part 113 is adhered to the mounting groove 2012, so as to connect the connecting element 1 and the mounting element 201.

The first chip 2 is assembled with the connection member 1, and the assembled chip module 10 is mounted on the mounting member 201. When the chip module 10 is assembled with the mounting member 201, one end of the first chip 2, which is far away from the connecting member 1, passes through the mounting groove 2012 and the mounting cavity 2011, the body portion 112 of the insulating body 11 is mounted in the mounting cavity 2011, and the protrusion 113 of the insulating body 11 is mounted in the mounting groove 2012.

For example, referring to fig. 9 and 10, the mounting cavity 2011 may be a closed cavity structure (see fig. 9) or an edge cavity structure (see fig. 10) opened on the mounting member 201. The closed cavity structure means that the mounting cavity 2011 is surrounded by the mounting member 201 in a solid manner in the whole circumferential direction. The edge cavity structure means that the mounting cavity 2011 penetrates through the edge or one side surface of the mounting member 201. In this embodiment, the mounting cavity 2011 penetrates through the upper edge of the mounting member.

When the mounting cavity 2011 is a closed cavity structure opened on the mounting member 201, the first chip 2 is a flexible chip, so that the first chip 2 can be bent and deformed to pass through the mounting groove 2012 and the mounting cavity 2011. When the mounting cavity 2011 is a semi-open edge cavity structure opened on the mounting member 201, the first chip 2 may be a flexible chip or a rigid chip, which is not limited herein. In addition, when the size of the mounting member 201 is limited, the mounting cavity 2011 tends to have a cavity-edge configuration.

Optionally, a third chip 4 is disposed on the box 20, and the first chip 2 includes a first area 21 and a second area 22. The contacts of the first area 21 are connected to the first pins 121 of the connector 1 and the contacts of the second area 22 are electrically connected to the third chip 4.

The third chip 4 may be solder-connected to the second region 22 of the first chip 2. When the case 20 is made of a material that does not have high temperature resistance, the third chip 4 and the second region 22 of the first chip 2 need to be cold-welded.

Referring to fig. 11, the present embodiment also provides an ink bag 30, the ink bag 30 including an ink bag body 301 and a second chip 3. The ink bag body 301 is for storing ink. The second chip 3 is disposed on the ink bag body 301. The second chip 3 is configured to be in contact electrical connection with the second pins 122 of the connector 1.

The cartridge 20 further includes an inkjet head 202 provided to the mounting member 201. The ink bag 30 includes an ink bag body 301 and a second chip 3. The ink bag body 301 is for storing ink. The ink bag body 301 is mounted on the mount 201. The ink outlet 3011 of the ink bag body 301 communicates with the inkjet head 202. The second chip 3 is disposed on the ink bag body 301. The contacts on the second chip 3 are in contact with and electrically connected to the second pins 122 of the connector 1, so that the third chip 4 on the case 20 is electrically connected to the second chip 3 through the first chip 2.

It should be noted that the inkjet head 202 on the cartridge 20 is an important structure, and the manufacturing process thereof is complicated and costly. The ink bag 30 of the embodiment is detachably connected to the mounting member 201 of the ink cartridge, and after the ink is used up, a new ink bag 30 can be replaced, and the mounting member 201 and the cartridge body 20 can be reused, thereby effectively utilizing the ink jet head and reducing the product cost.

The embodiment also provides a printing arrangement comprising the ink cartridge. A control chip is arranged in the printing device. The third chip 4 in the case 20 may be electrically connected to a control chip within the printing apparatus. Data such as ink amount, use programs and the like are written in at least one of the first chip 2 and the second chip 3, so that when the ink box is placed in the printing equipment, a contact of a control chip in the printing equipment is electrically connected with a contact of the third chip 4, the control chip is electrically connected with the second chip 3 through the third chip 4 and the first chip 2, and the ink printing function, the residual ink amount monitoring function and the like of the ink box are achieved.

It should be noted that, in other embodiments, the second pin 122 of the connecting component 1 may be configured to contact and electrically connect with the contact on the second chip 3, and the first pin 121 may be deformable and may contact and electrically connect with the contact on the first chip 2 under the action of its own elastic force. That is, at least one of the first stitch 121 and the second stitch 122 may be deformed. Correspondingly, the chip module 10 comprises a connection 1 and a second chip 3. Correspondingly, the ink bag 30 includes an ink bag body 301 and the chip module 10 disposed on the ink bag body 301. When the ink bag 30 is loaded into the ink cartridge, the first pins 121 may be deformed and extend into the mounting cavity 2011 to be electrically connected with the contacts of the first chip 2. Alternatively, the first region 21 of the first chip 2 on the case 20 of the ink cartridge may extend from the mounting cavity 2011 into the case 20 and be connected to the inner wall of the case 20, so that the first pins 121 can be electrically connected with the contacts of the first chip 2.
