Abstract

Elektronisches Steuerelement (2) einer Tintenpatrone (1), dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass das Element mit einer Software ausgestattet ist, die eine oder mehrere Patronenidentifikationsnummern der Patrone an den Drucker gibt. Die Identifikationsnummern werden dabei so verändert, dass der Drucker diese als andere Nummer der Patrone erkennt, als wenn das elektronische Bauteil nicht angebracht wäre. Die Patrone wird dadurch Konvertiert.electronic Control element (2) of an ink cartridge (1), characterized that the item is equipped with software that has one or more Cartridge identification numbers of the cartridge to the printer. The identification numbers are changed so that the printer recognizes as another number of the cartridge, as if the electronic Component would not be appropriate. The cartridge is thereby converted.

Description

Tintenpatronen für Tintenstrahldrucker sind teilweise mit einem Speicher ausgestattet, der unterschiedliche Informationen über die Patrone enthält. Unter anderem können dies sein: Füllstand der Patrone, Ländererkennungscode der Patrone, Seriennummer, Verfallsdatum, Patronenidentifizierungsnummer.ink cartridges for inkjet printers are partly equipped with a memory, the different information about contains the cartridge. Under other things this is: fill level the cartridge, country code cartridge, serial number, expiration date, cartridge identification number.

Tintenpatronen können wiederbefüllt werden. Durch die Identifikationsnummern auf der Patrone können Patronen eines Typs nach dem Recycling wieder als Patronen desselben Typs vermarktet werden. Dies setzt das vorhanden sein eines bestimmten Patronentyps in Form von Leergut voraus. In der Praxis ist dies jedoch nicht immer gegeben.ink cartridges can refilled become. Through the identification numbers on the cartridge can cartridges one type after recycling again as cartridges of the same type be marketed. This implies the existence of a certain cartridge type in the form of empties ahead. In practice, however, this is not always given.

Es gibt Patronen, die sich nur auf Grund der Identifikationsnummern, aber nicht durch den physikalischen Aufbau unterscheiden.It gives cartridges based only on the identification numbers, but do not differ by the physical structure.

Die vorliegende Erfindung beschreibt ein Steuerelement, das in Verbindung mit einem Mikroprozessor und einer Leiterplatte mit verschieden elektronischen Komponenten über eine Software verfügt, die die Patronenidentifikationsnummern so verändert, dass die Patrone im Drucker als eine andere Identifiziert wird. Dadurch werden Engpässe in der Leergutverfügbarkeit vermieden.The The present invention describes a control connected in conjunction with a microprocessor and a printed circuit board with different electronic Components over has a software, the cartridge identification numbers changed so that the cartridge in the Printer is identified as another. This will be bottlenecks in the empties Availability avoided.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung wird anhand der 1 bis 3 dargestellt.An embodiment of the invention will be described with reference to 1 to 3 shown.

Es zeigen:It demonstrate:

1: Tintenpatrone im ursprünglichen Zustand 1 : Ink cartridge in original condition

2: Tintenpatrone mit getrennter Leiterplatte und Vertiefung 2 : Ink cartridge with separate circuit board and recess

3: Steuerelement mit Leiterplatte verbunden 3 : Control connected to circuit board

Claims (3)

Elektronisches Steuerelement (2) einer Tintenpatrone (1), dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass das Element mit einer Software ausgestattet ist, die eine oder mehrere Patronenidentifikationsnummern der Patrone an den Drucker gibt. Die Identifikationsnummern werden dabei so verändert, dass der Drucker diese als andere Nummer der Patrone erkennt, als wenn das elektronische Bauteil nicht angebracht wäre. Die Patrone wird dadurch Konvertiert.Electronic control ( 2 ) of an ink cartridge ( 1 ), characterized in that the element is provided with software which gives one or more cartridge identification numbers of the cartridge to the printer. The identification numbers are changed so that the printer recognizes these as a different number of the cartridge, as if the electronic component would not be appropriate. The cartridge is thereby converted. Steuerelement (2) nach Anspruch 1, dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass das Steuerelement (2) mit der Kontaktübergabeeinheit (3) (Leiterbahn) der Patrone durch ein lösbares oder nicht lösbares Verfahren (4), z. B. löten. Kleben. schrauben so verbunden wird, dass elektronische Daten vom Bauteil über die Kontakte der Patrone zum Drucker übertragen werden können.Control ( 2 ) according to claim 1, characterized in that the control element ( 2 ) with the contact transfer unit ( 3 ) (Trace) of the cartridge by a detachable or non-detachable method ( 4 ), z. B. solder. Glue. is connected so that electronic data from the component via the contacts of the cartridge can be transferred to the printer. Steuerelement nach einem der vorherigen Ansprüche, dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass das Steuerelement in dem Gehäuse der Patrone, in einer geschaffenen Vertiefung (5) versenkt wird, so dass die ursprüngliche Geometrie und Optik der Patrone (1) nicht wesentlich beeinflusst wird.Control according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the control in the housing of the cartridge, in a recess created ( 5 ), so that the original geometry and appearance of the cartridge ( 1 ) is not significantly affected.
