For making the purpose of the embodiment of the present invention, technical scheme and advantage clearer, below in conjunction with the accompanying drawing in the embodiment of the present invention, technical scheme in the embodiment of the present invention is clearly and completely described, obviously, described embodiment is a part of embodiment of the present invention rather than whole embodiments.Based on the embodiment in the present invention, the every other embodiment that those of ordinary skill in the art are obtained under not making creative work premise, broadly fall into the scope of protection of the invention.
As it is shown in figure 1, the block diagram of the consumable chip of present invention offer, as it is shown in figure 1, chip 10 includes MCU11, first memory 12, second memory 13 and the 3rd memorizer 14.MCU connects first memory 12, second memory 13 and the 3rd memorizer 14 respectively.
First memory 12 stores the information about handle box, and the information of handle box includes the market of handle box, manufacturer's title, serial number, authentication information and the information of carbon dust amount.
The serial number of first memory 12 storage is used for verifying that first memory 12 is genuine, and specifically, if handle box is installed in imaging device, imaging device decodable code is stored in the serial number in first memory 12 and performs serial number checking.When serial number is proved to be successful, handle box 100 can be used for utilizing the carbon dust amount information stored to perform required process.
On the other hand, if serial number authentication failed, then imaging device can determine that handle box is false pain product, and notifies that user changes genuine handle box.
Second memory 13 is provided with and prevents recycling information, and when carbon dust exhausts and needs to change handle box, second memory 13 is prevented from rewriteeing and resets.
3rd memorizer 14 is used for storing organizes serial number more, specifically, can store more than the 2 groups serial numbers different from first memory 12.
MCU11 is for optionally read-write first memory 12, second memory 13 and the information of the 3rd memorizer 14 storage.
Fig. 2 show the block diagram of the imaging device including chip that the present invention provides, as in figure 2 it is shown, controller 20 connects memory element 21, display unit 22 and MCU11 respectively.
When the handle box with chip 10 is installed to imaging device, controller 20 reads information from chip 10, carry out serial number checking, that is to say that the serial number of storage in the middle of first memory 12 is delivered to imaging device and carries out serial number checking by MCU11, after serial number is verified, it is proved to be successful in display unit 22 display and the carbon dust information of storage in first memory 11 is stored memory element 21 together with serial number.
When the carbon dust surplus of storage is less than the first predetermined value in the middle of first memory 12, user is reminded to add carbon dust or change handle box.The situation adding carbon dust is only described at this, after user adds carbon dust, MCU11 performs the operation that resets, specifically the serial number of storage in the 3rd memorizer is written in the middle of first memory, and the carbon dust surplus in the middle of first memory is returned to initial value, in the 3rd memorizer, store number of resets simultaneously.
If number of resets is more than pre-determined number, usually 2, predetermined value is with life-span of handle box de-carbon powder other attrition component outer for limiting, and the life-span of photosensitive drums, charging roller and developer roll in the middle of usual handle box is 3 full carbon dust amount service lifes.But in order to save the use cost of user, number of resets can also be set as not limiting, because chip is removably mounted to other same model handle box.
Reset operation can be that client passes through recording device burning voluntarily, when can also be to be less than the first predetermined value based on storage carbon dust amount, operated by re-powering of imaging device, reset is performed because re-powering maloperation in order to avoid user is not carried out adding powder, re-power number of operations in can be set as certain time to realize, such as repeat switch machine 3 times in 3 minutes.
When number of resets reaches to limit number of times, MCU11 reads from second memory 13 and prevents repositioning information, first memory 11 no longer can be initialised, continue executing with printing until remaining toner amount is less than the second predetermined value, second predetermined value is that carbon dust exhausts substantially, and display can not print and remind user to change handle box.First predetermined value is 1%-5% arbitrary value.
The imaging device of some OEM can be arranged to: will be rejected use without preventing the handle box reusing information chip, for this type of imaging device compatible, information in second memory 12 will be given to imaging device identification by selectivity by MCU11, and is depleted to be more than between the second predetermined value less than the first predetermined value remind user change carbon dust and reset at carbon dust.
Fig. 3 show the flow chart of the chip controls method that the present invention provides, as shown in Figure 3.The method that the present invention provides comprises the following steps:
S1, performs checking serial number operation;
S2, calculates carbon dust surplus by printing amount, and judges that whether remaining toner amount is less than the first predetermined value;
S3, reset operation;
S4, number of resets prevents reseting data more than write during predetermined value.
Specifically, above-mentioned steps includes:
S105, it is judged that whether handle box is genuine, the serial number stored based on first memory judges whether handle box is true, if the S165 that then enters of vacation shows that the handle box being mounted with vacation changes genuine handle box with prompting user.
S110, has detected whether print command, without then entering S130 run-up mode, has then entrance step S115.
Whether S115, detects whether to be provided with and prevents recycling information, be provided with prevent recycling information by accessing the infomation detection of second memory, have, enter S120, otherwise enter S155.If being not provided with preventing recycling information, imaging device gives tacit consent to this chip and handle box for re-using, and no longer reminds user to perform the operation that resets.Certainly, the imaging device of some OEM may be refused to accept without the handle box preventing recycling information.
S120, detection remaining toner amount, whether less than the first predetermined value, if then entering S125 to perform printing, otherwise enters S135.
S125, performs printing, has printed and has entered S130 run-up mode afterwards.
S135, it is judged that whether number of resets, less than 2 times, is to enter S140, otherwise enters S150.
S140, display carbon dust amount is not enough and reminds user to add carbon dust.
S145, performs the operation that resets, and enters S125 and perform printing after the operation that resets.
S150, write prevents (recycling) data that reset.
S155, whether detection Yu Fenliang (remaining toner amount) is less than the second predetermined value, and the second predetermined value is that carbon dust will exhaust value, is to enter S160, otherwise enters S125 and performs printing.
S160, display carbon dust deficiency can not print and remind user to change handle box.
Wherein step S150 can also be the previous step of step S160.The number of resets 2 mentioned in above-mentioned steps, it is also possible to be greater than the arbitrary number of times of 2, because one single chip can be used on multiple same model handle box.
In actually used, when carbon dust is between the first predetermined value and the second predetermined value, can normally use, if user can point out without carbon dust reset always, until carbon dust exhausts.
Consumable chip, the imaging device using this consumptive material and the method that the present invention provides, resets by chip is arranged to limited number of time, and the life-span making chip is basically identical with the service life of other consumptive material of handle box, solves the problem that in prior art, consumptive material use cost is high.
Last it is noted that above example is only in order to illustrate technical scheme, it is not intended to limit;Although the present invention being described in detail with reference to previous embodiment, it will be understood by those within the art that: the technical scheme described in foregoing embodiments still can be modified by it, or wherein portion of techniques feature is carried out equivalent;And these amendments or replacement, do not make the essence of appropriate technical solution depart from the spirit and scope of various embodiments of the present invention technical scheme.
