图1是本申请实施例提供的一种喷嘴墨盒的结构示意图，图2是本申请实施例提供的喷嘴墨盒的电连接关系示意图。参考图1和图2所示，喷嘴墨盒10包括墨盒本体11、第一电路基板12、墨水容纳仓13以及第二电路基板15。其中，第一电路基板12附接在墨盒本体11上，第一电路基板12设置有相互电连接的第一接口电路121和喷嘴电路122。第二电路基板15附接在墨盒本体11上，第二电路基板15设置有第二接口电路151、第三接口电路152和转接电路154，其中，第二接口电路151和第一接口电路121设置在墨盒本体11的同一侧，并且第二接口电路152和第一接口电路121电连接；转接电路154能够处理第二接口电路151和第三接口电路152之间的信号传输。墨盒本体11具有一容置部，墨水容纳仓13可拆卸地或者可更换地安装于该容置部中。
其中，参考图2所示，当喷嘴墨盒10被安装于成像装置30时，第一接口电路121可以与成像装置30的探针电连接，从而与成像装置30建立电通信。在此情况下，第一接口电路121可以接收成像装置30发送的控制信号、读命令及写命令等。接口电路通常包括多个电接口(或称电连接端子)，该电接口可以是可导电的触点，例如金属触点，具体可以是由铜等金属制成的触点。
进一步地，为了防止金属触点的表面被氧化，可以在金属触点的表面进行沉金操作。本发明实施例中描述的接口电路是指，在墨盒10安装于打印机的工作过程中，用于与打印机建立电通信的接口电路。可选的，该多个电接口可以包括多种类型，例如，根据其传输信号的类型而分类。
参考图1和图2所示，喷嘴电路122电连接于第一接口电路121，可以通过第一接口电路121与成像装置30通信连接。具体地，喷嘴电路122可以通过第一接口电路121接收成像装置30发送的喷墨控制信号，进而 控制墨水容纳仓13中的墨水进行有规则地喷射，从而在相应的成像介质上形成图像。值得说明的是，墨盒本体11具有与喷嘴电路122连通的墨水通道，墨水容纳仓13设置有与该墨水通道连通的出墨口，当墨水容纳仓13安装于墨盒本体11时，墨水容纳仓13中的墨水可以经出墨口进入墨盒本体11的墨水通道，进而流向喷嘴电路122。
在本实施例中，参考图2所示，可更换的墨水容纳仓13设置有相互电连接的第一存储电路142和第四接口电路141。第一存储电路142至少存储有墨水容纳仓13的墨量信息，该墨量信息通常用于反映墨水容纳仓13中墨水的状态，例如，墨水的消耗程度等。当然，第一存储电路142还可以存储有与墨水容纳仓13相关的可能会随着墨水容纳仓的更换而发生改变的其它信息。第四接口电路141和第一存储电路142可以设置在同一电路基板上，例如第三电路基板14。
其中，参考图2所示，需要说明的是，第三接口电路152和第四接口电路141的接口可以是焊接在一起，也可以是通过粘贴或其它可拆卸的方式连接。
参考图2所示，第二电路基板15上的转接电路154与第一接口电路121电连接。例如，第二电路基板15可以通过第二接口电路151电连接到第一接口电路121。在一些实施例中，第二接口电路151被设置在第二电路基板15的覆盖第一接口电路121的位置上，直接电接触连接到第一接口电路121。
另一方面，参考图2所示，为使打印机能够访问第一存储电路142中的墨水状态信息，第四接口电路141可以与第三接口电路152电连接，当可更换的墨水容纳仓13安装于墨盒本体11时，第一存储电路142通过第三接口电路152与转接电路154建立电连接。如此，成像装置30可以通过转接电路154来访问第一存储电路142，并对第一存储电路142中的墨量信息进行读操作或写操作。
参考图2所示，转接电路154被设置为处理第二接口电路151和第三接口电路152之间的信号传输。例如，转接电路154可以用于接收第二接口电路151传输来的全部信号，根据需要将其中部分或全部信号处理给第三接口电路152进而传输给第一存储电路142。例如，转接电路154可以 将自第二接口电路151接收到的信号处理为适用于第一存储电路的信号。例如，转接电路154可以将自第二接口电路151接收到的信号处理为对应于第四接口电路接口类型的信号。
在本发明实施例中，第三接口电路152的接口数量可以少于第一接口电路121的接口数量，如图3所示。如上所述，第一接口电路121能够传输发送给喷嘴电路122的喷墨控制信号。该喷墨控制信号可以包括加热信号，该加热信号将作用于喷嘴电路122中指定的加热电阻，使得该加热电阻周围的液体被加热并膨胀而从对应的喷孔被挤出，以形成图像。喷墨控制信号还可以包括用于控制喷墨的地址选择信号、时钟信号、电阻检测信号等。其中，地址选择信号对应于喷嘴电路122中指定的加热电阻的地址，打印机通过向喷嘴电路122输入地址选择信号来选中指定的加热电阻；电阻检测信号也可以是针对上述加热电阻、或是其他特定电阻的检测信号，打印机通过向喷嘴电路122输入电阻检测信号来检验喷嘴电路的喷墨性能或身份标识。对应的，第一接口电路121包括加热信号接口，能够接收传输给喷嘴电路122的加热信号。示例性的，第一接口电路121还包括地址选择信号接口、时钟信号接口、电阻检测信号接口等。
在本发明的实施例中，第一存储电路142的数据访问信号可以包括时钟信号、地址访问信号以及数据访问信号。其中，地址访问信号对应于存储电路的多个数据地址，打印机通过向第一喷嘴电路142输入地址访问信号来选中指定的数据地址，继而实现数据的访问；数据访问信号可以是针对第一存储电路142的读信号或者写信号，打印机通过向第一存储电路122输入数据访问信号来获取或改写指定数据地址上的数据。对应的，第四接口电路141包括时钟接口、地址访问接口以及数据接口，通过这些接口，成像装置30能够访问第一存储电路142。而第三接口电路152的少于第一接口电路121的接口，或者说第一接口电路121具有第三接口电路152并不具备的接口，例如：加热信号接口或者电阻检测信号。
在本发明的一些实施例中，上述用于传输喷墨控制信号的地址选择信号接口、时钟信号接口等接口还能够用于传输访问存储电路的数据访问信号，例如，时钟信号可以是由存储电路和喷嘴电路122共用的时钟控制信号，例如，地址选择信号可以被另外转化为存储电路的数据地址访问信号。 如此，第一接口电路121的部分接口可以作为喷嘴电路122和存储电路的共用信号接口。
具体的，第一接口电路121设置有传输喷嘴控制信号的多个接口，以及传输数据访问信号的多个接口，其中二者接口可以有部分共用。将第二电路基板15上的第二接口电路151和第一接口电路121设置在墨盒本体的同一侧，并且使第二接口电路151电连接到第一接口电路121，成像装置30直接接触第一接口电路121并通过多个数据访问接口向第二接口电路151传输数据访问信号、通过多个喷嘴控制接口直接向喷嘴电路122传输喷嘴控制信号。此时，第二接口电路151被设置有多个接口且数量至少对应于第一接口电路121中的数据访问接口数量，并电连接到第一接口电路121。
应当说明的是，第一接口电路121的多个接口可以被设置为贯穿式电接口(贯通端子)，例如，第一接口电路121的多个接口的正面(背向墨盒本体11的一面)和背面(朝向墨盒本体11的一面)都被设置为裸露出电触点。在本实施例中，第二电路基板15上的第二接口电路151电连接到第一接口电路121的实施方式中，第二接口电路151可以接触连接到第一接口电路121的接口背部。
在一些实施例中，第三接口电路152被设置为接口数量等于第二接口电路151。转接电路154处理第二接口电路151传输来的全部信号，将第二接口电路151全部接口上的信号传输给对应的第三接口电路152的接口。例如，转接电路154将自第二接口电路151接收到的数据访问信号处理为适用于第一存储电路142的访问信号。例如，第三接口电路152电连接于第四接口电路141，转接电路154将接收到的全部数据访问信号通过第三接口电路152传输给对应于第四接口电路141接口信号类型的接口。例如，转接电路154只接收数据访问信号，并将这些数据访问信号转换为符合第一存储电路142的通信协议的适用信号，例如将其他类型协议信号转化为适用于第一存储电路142的I 2C协议的信号。再例如，转接电路154接收到的信号可能处于某种加密形态而无法被第一存储电路142直接接收和识别，此时转接电路154将对接收到的信号进行解密处理而输出适用于第一存储电路142的数据访问信号。
在上述部分信号接口共用的实施例中，转接电路154可以接收传输给喷嘴电路122的地址选择信号，并将其处理为适用于第一存储电路142的数据地址访问信号，进而通过第三接口电路152传输给第一存储电路142。当然，上述信号处理不限于地址选择信号。
本领域技术人员可以理解的是，转接电路154在处理第二接口电路和第三接口电路之间的信号传输时，其具体可以包括信号的接收、发送和对各种信号的相应处理(包括但不限于不同信号之间的转换、信号的合并、信号的分离等操作过程)，其具体过程和步骤可以是本领域技术人员所熟知的信号传输操作方式，此处不加以限制。
第二接口电路151所在区域与第一接口电路121所在区域至少部分重叠，使所述第二接口电路151的至少部分电连接端子与第一接口电路121的对应电连接端子相连。第二接口电路151的多个接口可以被设置为排布位置对应于第一接口电路121中的数据访问接口的位置，便于通过焊接、卡合或粘贴等方式建立对应接口的电连接。
在上述实施例中，第二电路基板15通常设置在第一电路基板12的内侧(更接近墨盒本体11的一侧)，如图1所示。在其他实施例中，第二电路基板15也可以设置在第一电路基板12的外侧(更远离墨盒本体11的一侧)，例如，第二接口电路151中的多个接口设置为贯通电端子，成像装置30可以通过接触第二接口电路121的接口正面、并通过第二接口电路121的接口的背面接触连接第一接口电路121，如图4、图5所示。
在将第二电路基板设置在第一电路基板外侧的另一些实施例中，第二电路基板25还可以设置有第五接口电路。设置第五接口电路与第一接口电路接触电连接，并且通过转接电路与第二接口电路电连接，如图6、图7所示。
示例性的，如图7所示，第二接口电路251被设置为接口数量等于第一接口电路221接口数量，并且与成像装置30电连接。例如，第二接口电路251的多个接口被设置为位置对应于第一接口电路221的多个接口的位置，使成像装置30的探针能够接触到第二接口电路251的多个接口。
此时，第二接口电路251的多个接口将包括喷嘴控制信号接口和数据访问信号接口所对应的多个接口。转接电路254处理第二接口电路251传 输来的全部信号，将第二接口电路251部分接口上的信号传输给对应的第三接口电路252的接口，即针对接收到的信号进行摘取处理。具体的，转接电路254将第二电路接口251上的数据访问信号接口上的信号处理给对应的第三接口电路252的接口。上述处理还可以包括对信号的解密处理、通信协议转换、信号识别和接口匹配等至少一种处理方式。
示例性的，第五接口电路253的接口数量少于第一接口电路221。具体的，第五接口电路253可以被设置为仅具有喷墨控制信号接口，足以向喷嘴电路传输喷墨控制信号。例如，第五接口电路253少于第一接口电路221的接口可以包括数据信号接口。
示例性的，第五接口电路253还可以被设置为其接口数量和第二接口电路251的接口数量一致，而第一接口电路221被设置为其部分接口与喷嘴电路222的电连接被断开。例如，第一接口电路221的数据访问信号接口被断开。上述设计使喷嘴电路222仅接收喷墨控制信号而不接收到数据访问信号，可以一定程度上避免数据污染。
本发明的一些实施例中，第二电路基板15/25还设置有第二存储电路(在图中未标示)，其中，第二存储电路存储有至少部分墨盒数据。墨盒数据表示喷嘴墨盒10/20的基本信息，可以包括喷嘴墨盒10/20的生产日期、喷嘴类型、型号、颜色、加密方式、硬件参数信息等数据。转接电路154/254处理第二接口电路151/251传输来的全部信号，将其中部分或全部信号传输给第二存储电路。具体的，转接电路154/254将数据访问信号处理传输给第二存储电路，以实现成像装置30对第二存储电路的数据访问。
通过上述设计，成像装置30能够访问第一存储电路142/242和/或第二存储电路中存储的数据。转接电路154/254传输给第二存储电路的信号与传输给第三接口电路152/252(以及第四接口电路)的信号可以一致，示例性的包括时钟信号、地址信号和数据信号。
经研究发现，相关技术中的成像装置在从喷嘴墨盒读取到的墨量信息指示墨水耗尽时，虽然会提示用户更换墨水容纳仓，但仍会允许用户进行打印操作。也就是说，在墨水容纳仓中的墨水耗尽，喷嘴电路中的加热电阻未被墨水包围的情况下，成像装置30仍会根据用户操作持续地控制喷嘴电路122/222中的加热电阻发热，极容易造成喷嘴电路122/222的损坏。 为了至少部分地改善上述问题，在另外一些实施例中，转接电路154/254还包括控制电路。控制电路被设置为能够控制选通第三接口电路152/252与第二接口电路151/251之间的电连接，从而实现对所述第一存储电路142/242的选通。例如，在第一存储电路142/242中的数据存在异常时，控制其断开。
另外，控制电路还可以是用于在第一存储电路142/242中存储的墨量信息为预设数据时，干扰第一存储电路142/242与成像装置30之间的通信，例如，断开第一存储电路142/242与成像装置30的连接；又如，使得第一存储电路142/242与成像装置30间的数据传输出现异常。其中，预设数据是成像装置30与喷嘴墨盒或墨水容纳仓预先约定好的、表示墨水耗尽的标识数据。本实施例中，控制电路可以设置为当第一存储电路142/242中存储的墨量信息达到预设数据时，控制第一存储电路142/242与成像装置30断开。例如，当该墨量数据被写为耗尽状态时断开第一存储电路142/242，以防止该数据再被错误篡改。
如此，可以在喷嘴墨盒10当前安装的墨水容纳仓13中的墨水耗尽时，强制成像装置30停止打印工作，以促使用户更换墨水容纳仓。
对应地，在转接电路154/254包括第二存储电路时，控制电路还可以用于在第一存储电路142/242存储的数据为预设数据时，干扰第二存储电路和成像装置30的通信。
示例性的，转接电路154/254可以包括信号处理单元，处理自第二接口电路151/251传输来的信号，将部分或全部信号传输给第三接口电路152/252和/或第五接口电路153/253。如图3所示，转接电路154/254将接收到的信号处理为适用于第一存储电路142/242和/或第二存储电路和/或喷嘴电路122/222的信号。信号处理单元还可以是多个导线，将接收到的信号传输给对应的类型信号接口。
在本实施例的另一种实施方式中，喷嘴电路122/222可以记录有原始墨水容纳仓的墨量信息，原始墨水容纳仓是指在首次更换墨水容纳仓之前，喷嘴墨盒10/20中安装的墨水容纳仓。由于墨盒10/20的首次用尽，喷嘴电路122/222存储的墨量信息被写为不可更改的耗尽状态。在此情况下，第一存储电路142/242可以用于修复喷嘴电路122/222中的墨量信息。具 体的，第一存储电路142/242可以存储针对喷嘴电路122/222中处于耗尽状态的墨量数据的墨量修复值。应当明确的是，本实施例墨量修复值也是墨量信息的一种。
在实施过程中，在对喷嘴墨盒10/20的墨水容纳仓进行更换之后，喷嘴墨盒10/20如果接收到成像装置30的控制信号，则并行地读取第一存储电路142/242和喷嘴电路122/222各自存储的墨量信息，最终传输给成像装置30的墨量信息将是两份墨量信息的叠加结果。
另外应当说明的是，电路基板可能还包括区别于上述接口电路的其他电端子，例如，用于烧录数据或检测芯片性能的多个接口，这些不与打印机进行通信的接口，不在本发明实施例所述接口电路的接口范围内。
详细地，参考图8所示，第二接口电路151的电连接端子和述第三接口电路152的电连接端子分别布置在该第二电路基板15的不同区域。例如，第二接口电路151和第三接口电路152各自的电连接端子可以分别布置在第二电路基板15的两端。
示例性的，参考图9所示，第三接口电路152/252与第四接口电路141/241的接口被设置为彼此贴合接触。例如，接口被设置为具有一定面积的电接触区域，并通过焊接或粘贴的方式进行贴合。示例性的，第三接口电路152/252的接口还可以是第二电路基板15/25的表面上设置的凸起状的触点或者可伸缩的触针，触针可以在外力作用下伸缩。凸起状的触点或可伸缩的触针用于与第四接口电路141/241上的平面的或凹陷状的触点相匹配，使得第三接口电路152/252和第四接口电路141/241的电连接端子的连接更为稳定，且易于拆卸。
详细地，该凸起状的触点可以通过以下方式获得：
第一，可以通过在已有的导电触点上设置焊锡或者其它金属材料，增加导电触点的厚度，从而形成凸起状的触点；第二，可以将第二电路基板15/25上设置有第三接口电路152/252的导电触点(电连接端子)的位置凸起，以形成该凸起状的触点；第三，接口设置于软板时可以通过对触点区域的背部压出凸起。
值得说明的是，凸起状的触点的高度需控制在一定范围内，以降低加工难度，确保质量稳定性。
在本实施例中，上述多个接口电路的设置位置可以有多种。
在一种实施方式中，请再次参照图1，第二接口电路151可以设置于第一接口电路121与容置部的侧壁之间(即第一接口电路121的内侧)。详细地，第一接口电路121的电连接端子布置于第一电路基板12朝向容置部的一面，第二电路基板15设置于第一电路基板12朝向该容置部的一侧，并且，第二接口电路151的电连接端子布置于第二电路基板15朝向第一电路基板12的一面，从而可以使第二接口电路151的至少部分电连接端子与第一接口电路121的对应电连接端子相连。
在本实施例中，第二电路基板15可以有多种结构。在一种情况下，可以如图1所示为直板状。当墨水容纳仓容纳于容置部时，墨水容纳仓高于容置部，高于容置部的部分暴露在外，第四接口电路即设置于这墨水容纳仓的高于容置部、暴露出来的侧壁上。此时，由于墨水容纳仓具有局部部位暴露在容置部外侧，所以在墨水容纳仓的暴露出来的侧壁上可以方便的设置用于和其它电路连接的第四接口电路141，而不需要容置部上设置缺口或者进行开孔，以使第四接口电路141和其它电路连接，这样对容置部的结构影响较小。其中，第二电路基板15上设置第三接口电路152的区域设置于容置部，且该区域设置于能够与墨水容纳仓13上的第四接口电路141相对应的位置，从而在墨水容纳仓13安装于容置部时，第三接口电路152能够恰好与第四接口电路141相接。
在又一种情况下，如图8所示，第二电路基板15可以是柔性基板，从而可以将第二电路基板15设置成沿容置部的特定侧壁a弯折，该特定侧壁a是指设置有第一电路基板12(或第一接口电路121)的侧壁。具体地，第二电路基板15可以弯折成U型结构，该U型结构包括底部及分别与该底部的相对两侧边相连的两个侧部U1和U2，其中侧部U1与所述特定侧壁a朝向容置部外的一面接触，侧部U2与所述特定侧壁a朝向容置部内的一面接触。而U型板的两端分别位于侧部U1和侧部U2上。这样U1也可以为U1区域，而U2可以为U2区域。此时，该U型结构可以利用自身的形状越过容置部的特定侧壁a，从而连接分别处于特定侧壁a不同侧的接口电路，而不需要在特定侧壁a上进行穿孔或开口。其中，第三接口电路152可以设置于侧部U2朝向U型结构外侧的一面(即，背离所 述特定侧壁a的一面)。其中，U型结构的底部区域布置有多个导线，连接第二接口电路151和部分第三接口电路152。
其中，需要说明的是，虽然U型板的两个端部分别位于U1区域和U2区域，但U1区域可以包括U型板的与底部相连的整条侧边，而不仅仅为U型板的端部区域。同理，U2区域也可以包括U型板的与底部相连的整条侧边。
如此，成像装置30可以依次通过第一接口电路121、第二接口电路151、转接电路154、第三接口电路152以及第四接口电路141来访问第一存储电路142。
在又一种实施方式中，第一接口电路221可以设置于容置部的侧壁，并将第二接口电路251设置于第一接口电路221的外侧(即，背离容置部的一侧)。
详细地，请参照图9和图10，墨水容纳仓23安装于墨盒本体21上，第一电路基板22设置于墨盒本体21的容置部的一侧壁a，第一接口电路221设置于第一电路基板22背离该侧壁a的一面。第二电路基板15设置于第一电路基板22背离容置部的一侧，也即，第二电路基板25位于第一接口电路221背离容置部的一侧。并且，第二接口电路251设置于第二电路基板25朝向第一接口电路221的一面，从而至少部分地与第一接口电路221重叠。
第五接口电路253的电连接端子和第二接口电路251的电连接端子分别设置在第二电路基板25相对的两个面上，该两个面的其中一个朝向第一接口电路221，另一个背离第一接口电路221。
类似地，在此实施方式中，第二电路基板15/25可以为直板状或U型结构。其中，图1、图4、图6、图9所示是第二电路基板15/25为直板状的情形，图8、图10示出的是第二电路基板15/25为U型结构的情形。在本实施例中，根据第二电路基板15的形状的不同，第三接口电路252和第二接口电路251各自的设置位置之间具有不同的相对位置关系。
例如图6所示，当第二电路基板25是直板状时，第三电路接口252设置于第二电路基板25朝向侧壁a(设置有第一接口电路221)的一面，第五接口电路253设置于靠近第一接口电路221的一面。此时，第三接口 电路252的电连接端子和第五接口电路253的电连接端子分别设置在第二电路基板25的同一面上。
又如图10所示，当第二电路基板25是U型结构时，该U型结构具有侧部U2，第三接口电路252设置于侧部U2朝向U型结构外侧的一面，第五接口电路253设置于侧部U1朝向U型结构内侧的一面。其中，侧部U2和侧部U1各自朝向U型结构外侧的一面均为U型结构的外侧面。换言之，在此情况下，第三接口电路252和第五接口电路253各自的电接口分别设置在第二电路基板25的不同面的不同区域。
进一步地，鉴于成像装置30一侧的探针通常是设计成与第一接口电路121/221对准，使得喷嘴墨盒10/20安装于成像装置30时，成像装置30的探针可以与第一接口电路121/221相接。因此，第二电路基板15/25上的第二接口电路152/252所在的区域可以覆盖住所述第一接口电路221。如此，在喷嘴墨盒10安装于成像装置30时，成像装置30的探针可以恰好与第二接口电路152/252相接。
本实施例还提供一种电路基板，该电路基板设置有本实施例提供的第二接口电路151/251、第三接口电路152/252和转接电路154/254，转接电路被设置为能够处理第二接口电路151/251和第三接口电路152/252之间的信号传输。
本实施例还提供一种喷嘴墨盒组件，包括墨盒本体11、设置在墨盒本体11上的第一电路基板12和第二电路基板15以及能够容纳可更换的墨水容纳仓的容置部，其中，第一电路基板12设置有相互电连接的喷嘴电路122和第一接口电路121，第二电路基板15设置有第二接口电路151和第三接口电路152；第二接口电路151和第一接口电路121设置在墨盒本体11的同一侧，并且相互电连接；同时，第二电路基板还设置有转接电路，转接电路被设置为能够处理第二接口电路和第三接口电路之间的信号传输。
综上所述，本申请实施例提供一种喷嘴墨盒、电路基板及喷嘴墨盒组件，其中，喷嘴墨盒包括墨盒本体和设置在墨盒本体上的第一电路基板，该第一电路基板设置有相互连接的喷嘴电路和第一接口电路，所述喷嘴墨盒还包括设置在墨盒本体上的第二电路基板、容置部和可更换的墨水容纳 仓，所述第二电路基板设置有第二接口电路和第三接口电路，所述第二接口电路和第一接口电路设置在墨盒本体的同一侧，并且相互电连接；所述墨水容纳仓容纳于所述容置部中，所述墨水容纳仓具有相互电连接的第一存储电路和第四接口电路，所述第四接口电路可以与所述第三接口电路电连接，所述第一存储电路至少存储有所述墨水容纳仓的墨量信息，所述第二电路基板还设置有转接电路，所述转接电路被设置为能够处理第二接口电路和第三接口电路之间的信号传输。通过上述设计，能够比较方便地更换喷嘴墨盒的墨水容纳仓，并且，由于墨盒各芯片之间的信息能够顺畅的传输，所以能够保证墨盒的信息正常交互，在对喷嘴墨盒的墨水容纳仓进行更换后，打印机从喷嘴墨盒读取到的墨量信息能够反映更换后的墨水容纳仓的墨量情况。
此外，通过设置具有第一存储电路的墨水容纳仓以及转接电路，使得转接电路和具有第一存储电路的墨水容纳仓可以分别独立进行批量生产，提高了生产效率。并且，转接电路可以被反复使用，节约了资源。
