具体实施方式
下面将结合附图对本发明的实施方式进行详细描述。本技术方案的基本原理是基于不同系列间的通信命令大致相同，可以通过再生芯片的调整实现打印机对墨盒有效通信。
实施例一
墨盒A和墨盒B分别为两款不同系列的墨盒，其中墨盒A为对应于第一型号打印机墨盒，墨盒B为对应于第二型号打印机的墨盒。墨盒A和墨盒B通过触点与其对应的打印机通信，与打印机配合完成打印操作。墨盒的触点包括：与打印机的地址线(ADDR)连接的ADDR触点，与打印机的时钟线(CLK)连接的CLK触点，与打印机的使能线(LOAD)连接的LOAD触点，以及与打印机的控制线(Pt_Ctrl)连接的Pt_Ctrl触点等。本实施例中，墨盒A的触点及外形结构如图1所示，墨盒B的触点及外形结构如图2所示，墨盒A与墨盒B的外形结构、触点数量、以及触点排布均不相同。
将从市场上回收的墨盒A(即原墨盒)再生为与第二型号打印机匹配的再生墨盒(即目标墨盒)，使得再生墨盒能够与第二型号打印机配合使用完成打印操作。再生墨盒应该具有 与墨盒B类似的外形结构，使得其能安装于第二型号打印机中；应该具有与墨盒B相同的触点数量、触点排布、以及触点位置，使得再生墨盒的触点能够与第二型号打印机的触点电连接，为再生墨盒与第二型号打印机的通信提供物理基础；进一步地再生墨盒应该能够与第二型号打印机通过通信完成相应的打印操作。
因此，将由回收市场回收的与第一型号打印机对应的墨盒A再生转换为与第二型号打印机对应的目标墨盒的操作包括以下三方面：
1.墨盒结构调整，调整墨盒A的墨盒尺寸和喷头位置与目标墨盒一致。具体包括：
墨盒尺寸调整，通过切割和/或者连接工艺调整墨盒A的墨盒尺寸与目标墨盒的墨盒尺寸相同。
喷头位置调整，通过填充工艺调整墨盒A的喷头位置与目标墨盒的喷头位置相同或者通过夹具将墨盒A定位并且对墨盒A进行磨切或补充，以实现墨盒A的喷头位置与目标墨盒的喷头位置相同。
2.墨盒填充，在墨盒A的墨仓中填充墨水。具体为：清理墨盒A的墨仓，并在墨盒A的墨仓中填充对应的墨水。
3.墨盒芯片调整，调整墨盒A的芯片触点与目标墨盒一致。具体包括：
a)清理触点，清除墨盒A的芯片触点的表面的污渍及氧化层；
b)粘贴芯片，将再生芯片粘贴至墨盒A上，使得再生芯片的第一触点与墨盒A的芯片触点接触。
c)焊接，对再生芯片与墨盒A的芯片进行焊接，使得再生芯片的第一触点与墨盒A的芯片触点电连接。
具体的对墨盒A进行再生的步骤为：
步骤一.打印机或设备检测回收的墨盒A，确认墨盒A是否可回收利用。
步骤二.喷头位置调整，实现墨盒A的喷头位置与目标墨盒的喷头位置相同。
步骤三.保护喷头，在墨盒A的喷头上贴上保护膜。
步骤四.开盖，将墨盒A的顶盖取出。可以使用酒精简单浸泡2秒后用美工刀撬开。
步骤五.去除海绵，将墨盒A的墨仓内部海绵取出以免切割时墨水四溅。
步骤六.切割墨盒，将墨盒A高于目标墨盒的部分切割掉。
步骤七.填充墨水，重新墨水至墨盒A的墨仓中。
步骤八.盖上顶盖，用胶水将墨盒A的顶盖重新封好。
步骤九.清理触点，可以采用酒精等擦拭墨盒A的芯片触点表面，将其表面污渍及氧化 层去除。
步骤十.贴上芯片，先将再生芯片背面的胶膜层露出，以再生芯片的4个定位孔对准墨盒A的4个定位柱，将再生芯片贴在墨盒A上。注意粘贴完成后，一定要再次压实,避免胶膜层的双面胶弹起。
步骤十一.检测仪测试，将粘贴好再生芯片的墨盒A放入墨盒检测仪进行测试，测试OK后方可焊接。也可以直接上打印机进行测试。
步骤十二.焊接，将再生芯片的每个触点都用烙铁头焊接。烙铁头的温度设置为200度,单个触点的焊接时间不可超过3秒,防止焊锡太多流入旁边触点造成短路,从而出现上机不认的现象。
步骤十三.将步骤十二中完成的墨盒安装至第二型号打印机上进行上机测试。墨盒通过了上机测试，表示完成将墨盒A再生为与第二型号打印机对应的再生墨盒的过程，墨盒再生成功。该再生墨盒可以像墨盒B一样，安装在第二型号打印机中，与第二型号打印机配合完成正常的打印等操作。
再生芯片包括设有用于承载转换电路13的基板1，设置于基板正面的第一触点11、设置于基板背面的第二触点12。基板1还包括胶膜层、定位孔14、以及测试触点15。其中胶膜层设置于基板1的正面，用于将基板粘合于墨盒A上，使得再生芯片与墨盒A固定连接。定位孔14可与墨盒A上的定位柱配合对再生芯片进行定位，使得设置在再生芯片正面的第一触点与墨盒A的芯片触点一一对应接触。测试触点15与转换电路13电连接，用于对再生芯片进行程序烧录或者测试。
图3、图4所示分别为用于将从市场上回收的墨盒A再生为与第二型号打印机匹配的再生墨盒的再生芯片的正面和背面结构示意图。第一触点11与墨盒A的芯片触点的数量和排布相同，用于与墨盒A的芯片触点电连接，可接收来自墨盒A的芯片的电信号，也可将电信号发送至墨盒A的芯片。第二触点12与墨盒B的芯片触点的数量和排布相同，用于与第二型号打印机电连接，可接收来自第二型号打印机的电信号，也可将电信号发送至第二型号打印机。转换电路13接收并转换来自第二触点12和第一触点11的电信号使得再生墨盒能够通过第二型号打印机的认证检测并且响应第二型号打印机的控制。
如图5，转换电路与第一触点电连接，转换电路与第二触点电连接。为了实现墨盒A至目标墨盒的转换，再生芯片除了需要为再生墨盒与第二型号打印机的通信提供物理基础，还需要根据墨盒A与目标墨盒之间的差异，对墨盒A的芯片进行改造，并且转换第二型号打印机和墨盒A的芯片输出的数据。从而实现第二型号打印机对再生墨盒的控制，使得再生墨盒 可以根据第二型号打印机的控制完成打印操作。因此，再生芯片的转换电路13进一步具体包括：数据修改单元、喷头信号转换单元、电参数调整单元、逻辑转换单元。
1)数据修改单元
图6为数据修改单元连接示意图。数据通信是墨盒能通过打印机对其认证的最基本条件，数据内容包括了表示墨盒的墨水剩余量的墨量数据、以及墨盒型号等内容。墨盒A的数据存储单元采用如熔丝存储器等不可逆存储器。其墨水剩余量随着墨盒的使用逐渐减少，并且无法恢复，墨盒内的墨水使用完以后便无法再使用。若要进行墨盒的再生使用，此时就需要使用再生芯片对其进行墨量修复。墨盒A的数据存储单元除了存储墨量数据还存储墨盒型号数据，即不同打印机型号对应使用不同型号的墨盒。如型号为A的墨盒只能适用于型为A的打印机，而无法使用于其他型号的打印机，就算打印机的其他特性(通信、控制、检测等)与墨盒A一致，也无法使用。那么，当我们在将墨盒A再生为目标墨盒时，就需要对墨盒A的芯片内存储的墨盒型号数据进行修改。但是，墨盒型号数据存储于墨盒A的不可逆的存储单元中，无法对其墨盒型号数据直接进行修改。此时就需要通过再生芯片的数据修改单元对进行修改。再生芯片的数据修改单元与第一触点和第二触点电连接，以改写墨盒A的芯片内存储的墨量数据和墨盒型号数据，使得再生墨盒能够通过第二型号打印机认证。
2)喷头信号转换单元
图7为第一型号打印机喷头控制信号的时序图。第一型号打印机有3根地址线：ADDR1、ADDR2、ADDR3，分别对应控制墨盒A的C、M、Y喷头地址的选择。第一型号打印机通过CLK、LOAD、ADDR线的命令组合进行喷头点选择。选定一个喷头点后，在下一个时钟周期到来时，两根控制线：Pt_Ctrl1和Pt_Ctrl2上的电信号同时拉低，控制墨盒A的喷头喷墨。
图8为第二型号打印机喷头控制信号的时序图。第二型号打印机共有6根地址线，其中地址线：ADDR3、ADDR4、ADDR6分别对应的颜色为C、M、Y，而其余地址线并不直接参与喷头打印。同样第二型号打印机通过控制线：Pt_Ctrl1、Pt_Ctrl2上的电信号的拉低来控制墨盒B的喷头喷墨。控制线Pt_Ctrl1和Pt_Ctrl2的拉低持续时间总体一致，但是发生时间存在差异。Pt_Ctrl2在Pt_Ctrl1的电信号拉低动作结束后的0.4us开始其电信号拉低动作。
由上述分析可以看出，第一型号打印机和第二型号打印机喷头控制信号的的差异主要在于控制线Pt_Ctrl1和Pt_Ctrl2的时序：第一型号打印机的Pt_Ctrl1和Pt_Ctrl2同时开始电信号拉低动作，同时结束动作；第一次拉低持续时间0.6us，第二次拉低持续时间 0.75us，间隔0.8us(具体时序见图7)。第二型号打印机的Pt_Ctrl1和Pt_Ctrl2先后开始电信号拉低动作，Pt_Ctrl1的电信号拉低动作结束后0.4us，Pt_Ctrl2才开始其电信号拉低动作；并且，第一次拉低持续时间0.2us，第二次拉低持续时间0.84us，间隔0.4us(具体时序见图8)。
此外，可能存在的差异还有：用于选择喷头点的地址线不同，用于选择喷头点的地址线上的命令不同等。
再生芯片的喷头信号转换单元接收来自第二触点的第二型号打印机喷头控制信号，并转换为相应的符合第一型号打印机的喷头控制规则的第一型号打印机喷头控制信号经第一触点输出至墨盒A的芯片。图9为喷头信号转换单元的连接示意图：
第二型号打印机发送第二型号打印机喷头控制信号至再生墨盒，再生墨盒通过再生芯片的第二触点接收第二型号打印机喷头控制信号，并且通过喷头信号转换单元识别确定第二型号打印机所选择的喷头点。喷头信号转换单元根据第二型号打印机所选择的喷头点，按照第一型号打印机的喷头控制规则，经再生芯片的第一触点输出符合第一型号打印机的喷头控制规则的第一型号喷头控制信号至墨盒A的芯片，以选择墨盒A的喷头点。选择好喷头点以后，喷头信号转换单元再按照第一型号打印机的喷头控制规则，经再生芯片的第一触点输出符合第一型号打印机的喷头控制规则的Pt_Ctrl信号，来控制已选择的墨盒A的喷头点的出墨时间。
第一型号打印机与第二型号打印机的喷头控制信号也有可能存在：第一型号打印机与第二型号打印机的喷头点选择命令一样，Pt_Ctrl线的电信号拉低的时间点存在差异，Pt_Ctrl线的电信号拉低的时间长度相差不大的情况。实际应用中，如果第一型号打印机和第二型号打印机Pt_Ctrl线的这种控制差异在允许的范围之内，第二型号打印机发出的第二型号打印机喷头控制信号可以直接作用于墨盒A的芯片，因此可直接将来自第二触点的第二型号打印机喷头控制信号经所述第一触点输出至墨盒A的芯片。
第一型号打印机与第二型号打印机的喷头控制信号还有可能存在Pt_Ctrl信号线的个数不一样的情况。这时候喷头信号转换单元可设置专门的逻辑门电路对与第二触点电连接的多个Pt_Ctrl信号线进行整合，再通过第一触点汇入墨盒A的芯片以实现对墨盒A的喷头的控制。
3)电参数调整单元
打印机会检测墨盒芯片触点的电参数，判断墨盒芯片是否有出现短路的情况，避免短路的墨盒芯片在上电工作后对其自身以及打印机造成损坏。墨盒A的芯片在每个与打印机连接 的信号线上设计下拉电阻，该下拉电阻的阻抗在某些特定的情况下会对墨盒A的芯片和与其电连接的打印机起到保护作用。如果墨盒A的芯片短路的情况下，该下拉电阻的阻抗会发生变化，与墨盒A电连接的打印机检测该下拉电阻的阻抗，就可以判断出墨盒A的芯片的短路情况，避免墨盒A的芯片在上电工作后对与其电连接的打印机以及芯片本身造成损害。但是不同型号的墨盒的下拉电阻不一致或者有些芯片根本没有下拉电阻。不同型号的墨盒也可能存在其他电气参数的差异，如信号线的上拉，不同信号线之间的连接(二极管以及电阻等组合连接)的不同。图10为电参数调整单元连接示意图，再生芯片的电参数调整单元通过第一触点与墨盒A的芯片电连接，调整墨盒A的芯片的电参数，使得再生墨盒能够通过第二型号打印机的电参数检测。电参数调整单元对墨盒A的芯片的调整可以包括电压电流的调整、阻抗、容抗等电参数的调整。
4)逻辑转换单元
为了检测墨盒芯片的线路逻辑是否正常，打印机发送逻辑检测命令，该命令有多个信号线组合，墨盒芯片接收到命令后开始进行逻辑运算，最后得出运算结果反馈给打印机，打印机通过运算结果对墨盒内部逻辑是否能正常运作做出判断。
例如，与第一型号打印机对应的墨盒A的内部检测逻辑为公式1：
而与第二型号打印机对应的墨盒B的内部检测逻辑为公式2：
当以墨盒A为原墨盒进行再生为与第二型号打印机对应的再生墨盒时，第二型号打印机以公式2为检测标准，第二打印机发送由CLK、ADDR0～5、LOAD、P1～3信号组成的检测命令。而对应于第一型号打印机的墨盒A的芯片却是以公式1为检测标准进行逻辑运算。因此，墨盒A的芯片与第二型号打印机在进行逻辑检测时，会存在不匹配的问题。
因此，如图11再生芯片的逻辑转换单元分别与第二触点和第一触点电连接。具体的，逻辑转换单元包括检测信号逻辑运算模块和反馈信号逻辑运算模块。逻辑转换单元接收来自第二触点的第二型号打印机逻辑检测信号，并经检测信号逻辑运算模块根据公式2转换为相应的符合第一型号打印机的逻辑检测规则(即公式1)的第一型号打印机逻辑检测信号经第一触点输出。逻辑转换单元接收来自第一触点的第一型号打印机逻辑检测反馈信号，并经反馈信号逻辑运算模块根据公式1转换为相应的符合第二型号打印机的逻辑检测规则(即公式2)的第二型号打印机逻辑检测反馈信号经所述第二触点输出。使得再生墨盒能够通过所述第二型号打印机的逻辑检测的逻辑转换单元。
例如本实施例中，通过再生芯片的第二触点接收到第二打印机的P1、P2、P3信号线上的电信号后经过检测信号逻辑运算模块将P1、P2、P3信号线上的电信号进行逻辑与运算，并将运算结果经第一触点发送至墨盒A的芯片触点P1。墨盒A的芯片通过与其电连接的再生芯片的第一触点接收经逻辑转换单元转换输出的第一型号打印机逻辑检测信号，并按照公式1进行逻辑运算后得出第一型号打印机逻辑检测反馈信号，并通过墨盒A的触点CHK反馈输出。但是，该第一型号打印机逻辑检测反馈信号与符合第二型号打印机逻辑检测要求的验证结果仍存在差异。通过反馈信号逻辑运算模块将逻辑检测反馈进行逻辑反运算得到符合第二型号打印机逻辑检测要求的第二型号打印机逻辑检测反馈信号，并通过再生芯片的第二触点输出至第二型号打印机，以完成第二型号打印机的逻辑检测。
由上述墨盒再生方法再生的再生墨盒与第二型号打印机组成的打印机系统的通信方法为：
再生芯片修改或替换墨盒A的芯片内存储的墨量数据和墨盒型号数据，使得再生墨盒的墨量数据为非墨尽数据，使得再生墨盒的墨盒型号数据与第二型号打印机匹配。其中，非墨尽数据，表示墨盒的剩余墨水大于打印机所允许的最低墨盒墨量的墨量数据。
再生芯片接收来自第二型号打印机的第二型号打印机喷头控制信号并将第二型号打印机喷头控制信号转换为相应的符合第一型号打印机的喷头控制规则的第一型号打印机喷头控制信号，发送至墨盒A的芯片。
再生芯片接收来自第二型号打印机的第二型号打印机逻辑检测信号，并将第二型号打印机逻辑检测信号转换为相应的符合第一型号打印机的逻辑检测规则的第一型号打印机逻辑检测信号，发送至墨盒A的芯片；再生芯片接收来自原芯片的第一型号打印机逻辑检测反馈信号，并将第一型号打印机逻辑检测反馈信号转换为相应的符合第二型号打印机的逻辑检测规则的第二型号打印机逻辑检测反馈信号，并发送至第二型号打印机。
实施例二
如图12，再生芯片的转换电路的数据修改单元相应的修改为数据替换单元。再生墨盒不使用墨盒A的芯片的墨量数据和墨盒型号数据。将墨盒A的芯片的数据存储单元与打印机的DATA线的连接断开。再生芯片的数据替换单元通过第二触点与第二型号打印机电连接，以替换墨盒A的芯片内存储的墨量数据和墨盒型号数据，使得再生墨盒能够通过第二型号打印机认证。
实施例三
如图13，再生墨盒不使用墨盒A的芯片对墨盒A的芯片进行逻辑检测。将墨盒A的芯 片的逻辑检测的单元与打印机的相关信号线的连接断开。再生芯片的逻辑转换单元通过第二触点与第二型号打印机电连接，直接替换墨盒A的芯片的逻辑检测单元，使得再生墨盒能够通过第二型号打印机逻辑检测。
上面所述的实施例仅是对本发明的优选实施方式进行描述，并非对本发明的构思和范围进行限定。在不脱离本发明设计构思的前提下，本领域普通人员对本发明的技术方案做出的各种变型和改进，均应落入到本发明的保护范围，本发明请求保护的技术内容，已经全部记载在权利要求书中。
