In other embodiments, since the shape and structure of the end portion of the contact mechanism 20 of the printer may vary depending on the model of the printer, if two first elastic portions 403 are provided, the first elastic portions 403 may be difficult to install or remove, and if the first elastic portions 403 are directly installed or removed, there is a certain probability that the contact mechanism 20 of the printer will be damaged, so that one first elastic portion 403 may be provided. Preferably, the first elastic portion 403 is disposed on one side or the other side of the third direction (Z) of the circuit board 401, and the contact mechanism 20 of the printer is contacted by one first elastic portion 403, so that even if the diameter of the end portion of the contact mechanism 20 of the printer is too large, the user can easily mount or pull out the chip 40 provided with the first elastic portion 403 from the printer, without causing damage to the contact mechanism 20 of the printer.

The first elastic portion 403 includes a fixing portion 4031, a deformation portion 4032, and a contact portion, the fixing portion 4031 is fixed on the first surface 408 of the circuit board 401, one end of the fixing portion 4031 is connected to one end of the deformation portion 4032 extending along the first direction, and the other end of the deformation portion 4032 is connected to the contact portion.

The other end of the contact one portion 4033 is connected to the contact two portion 4034. At least one first elastic part 403 is directly mounted on the first surface 408 of the circuit board 401, and is not required to be mounted on the second surface 409 of the circuit board 401, and is bent to form a larger deformation amount, so that the first elastic part 403 is prevented from being unable to recover due to excessive deformation; when the chip 40 is plugged into and pulled out from an external device (the contact mechanism 20 of the printer) for a plurality of times, the contact part can be well contacted with the contact mechanism 20 of the printer, and the situation that the first elastic part 403 cannot recover to an initial state due to the large deformation amount of the first elastic part, so that poor contact between the chip 40 and the contact mechanism 20 of the printer is caused can be avoided, and the service life of the chip 40 is prolonged; meanwhile, since the first elastic portion 403 is mounted on the first surface 408 of the circuit board 401, a corresponding notch is not required to be provided on the mounting frame 30 of the chip 40, and the mounting is convenient, and the first elastic portion 403 is prevented from being separated from the circuit board 401 due to mounting jam occurring when the first elastic portion 403 is mounted on the second surface 409 of the circuit board 401.

Specifically, when the contact first portion 4033 or the contact second portion 4034 receives an external force, the contact second portion 4034 is pushed to deform, and the direction of deformation also generates the included angle B, so that the first elastic portion 403 has a larger deformation possibility in a smaller space. Preferably, the first contact portion 4033 and the second contact portion 4034 are integrally formed. The integral molding can prevent the first elastic portion 403 from breaking during the deformation process, so as to improve the service life of the first elastic portion 403. The number of the first elastic parts 403 may be one or two. Specifically, the method can be set according to actual needs.

The first surface 408 is parallel to the second surface 409, and the fixing portion 4031 and the deformation portion 4032 form an included angle a. The elastic deformation capability of the first elastic portion 403 can be satisfied by such arrangement, and the occupied space is within a reasonable range, so that the contact between the first elastic portion 403 and the contact mechanism 20 of the printer is ensured to be good.

Through the cooperation of the positioning convex part 406 and the mounting hole a4071, which are arranged in the second direction of the first elastic part 403, when the first elastic part 403 is assembled and positioned, the first elastic part 403 can be initially positioned, and then one side, which is close to the first surface 408 of the circuit board 401, of the first elastic part 403 is welded and fixed with the contact point B4052 in a welding manner, so that the first elastic part 403 is firmly connected, and the situation of detachment cannot occur even if the first elastic part is plugged and pulled out for many times.

As shown in fig. 5-6, for example, the chip 40 further includes a second elastic portion 404, and the second elastic portion 404 may be directly fixed on the first surface 408 of the circuit board 401. Specifically, the second elastic portion 404 is directly fixed on the first surface 408 of the circuit board 401 by means of soldering, and the soldered surface is that a surface of the second elastic portion 404, which is close to the first surface 408 of the circuit board 401, is soldered to the contact point C4053 and a surface of the second elastic portion, which is close to the contact point C4053. Preferably, in order to accurately position the second elastic portion 404, a positioning protrusion 406 is also provided at a position of the second elastic portion 404 extending along the second direction (Y), before the second elastic portion 404 is welded, the positioning protrusion 406 on the second elastic portion 404 is first mounted to the mounting hole B4072 on the circuit board 401, after the first positioning is performed, one side of the second elastic portion 404, which is close to the first surface 408 of the circuit board 401, is welded and fixed to the contact point C4053 by means of welding, so that the first elastic portion 403 is firmly connected, and even if the second elastic portion is plugged and unplugged for multiple times, the first elastic portion 403 is not detached.

As shown in fig. 5, the second elastic portion 404 may have a parallel structure on a surface thereof adjacent to the contact mechanism 20 of the printer. As shown in fig. 6, in order to increase the contact surface between the contact mechanism 20 of the printer and the second elastic portion 404, the surface of the second elastic portion 404 near the contact mechanism 20 of the printer may be provided with a V-shaped structure, so that the contact mechanism 20 of the printer is ensured to be in contact with the second elastic portion 404, and the contact is stable, so that the occurrence of a contact failure is not likely to occur.

As shown in fig. 7-8, for example, to save costs or to facilitate the manufacture of the first elastic portion 403 and the second elastic portion 404, the positioning protruding portions 406 at the bottoms of the first elastic portion 403 and the second elastic portion 404 may be directly welded to the contact point B4052 and the contact point C4053, respectively, to save costs.

As shown in fig. 9-12, one or more first elastic parts 403 may be provided, and if one first elastic part 403 is provided, it may be provided on any side to match the contact mechanism 20 of different printers, so as to implement variability of contact. As shown in fig. 1 and 9 to 10, when two first elastic portions 403 are provided, it is preferable that the two first elastic portions 403 in this embodiment are symmetrically provided, and they are symmetrically provided, respectively, so that the contact mechanism 20 of the printer can be effectively contacted, and the contact is more stable.

For example, as shown in fig. 13-14, the principle of the chip 40 is described below in terms of a process of attaching and detaching the chip 40 to and from the contact mechanism 20 of the printer:

when the chip 40 is mounted to the printer while gradually approaching the contact mechanism 20 of the printer main board, the end of the contact mechanism 20 is brought into contact with the contact two portions 4034 of the contact portion of the first elastic portion 403. At this time, the contact B of the chip 40 is electrically contacted with the contact mechanism 20 of the printer through the first contact portion, so that the contact B of the chip 40 can be connected with the other contact mechanism 20 of the printer through the first elastic portion 403, and the chip 40 can communicate with the main board of the printer. When the chip 40 is pushed further, the end of the contact mechanism 20 pushes the contact portion 4034 of the first elastic portion 403 to move away from the circuit board 401, so that the first elastic portion 403 deforms. After the chip 40 is mounted in place, the deformation portion 4032 of the first elastic portion 403 generates a resilience force, so that the contact portion 4034 can be reliably contacted with the end portion of the contact mechanism 20 and the circumferential edge thereof, and the chip 40 can be firmly communicated with the main board of the printer. The fixed portion 4031 and the deformed portion 4032 form an angle a, for example, the angle a is about 90 ° without deformation. When the first elastic portion 403 is deformed, the angle a formed by the fixing portion 4031 and the deformation portion 4032 may also be changed, for example, may be greater than 90 degrees. So that the chip 40 can be more smoothly mounted in place.

After the chip 40 is mounted in place, the contact two portion 4034 can be stably brought into contact with the upper end portion of the contact mechanism 20 due to the elastic force of the first elastic portion 403 even when the printer generates vibration during printing. Thus providing better stability of the chip 40 during use.

The second elastic portion 404 is connected to the other contact mechanism 20 of the printer, and when the other contact mechanism 20 of the printer is connected to contact the second elastic portion 404, electrical contact is made so that the contact C of the chip 40 can be connected to the other contact mechanism 20 of the printer through the second elastic portion 404, and the chip 40 can communicate with the main board of the printer. While the tip of the other contact mechanism 20 pushes the second elastic portion 404 when the chip 40 is pushed further, so that the tip of the second elastic portion 404 connected to the tip of the other contact mechanism 20 is slightly deformed, and even the vibration generated during the operation of the printer does not cause the second elastic portion 404 to separate from the tip of the other contact mechanism 20 of the printer. Thus providing better stability of the chip 40 during use.

In summary, the chip 40 of the present utility model, due to the arrangement of the first elastic portion 403 and the second elastic portion 404, can well realize the communication between the chip 40 and the printer and also can conveniently realize the mounting and dismounting of the chip 40 by the cooperation of the first elastic portion 403 and the second elastic portion 404 and the contact mechanism 20 in the printer, and meanwhile, can ensure the normal communication with the printer under the condition that the chip 40 is plugged and pulled for many times; the conductive metal sheet of the chip 40 is convenient to install when shipped.
