A consumable assembly includes a package, a consumable cartridge, a computer-readable storage medium, electrical contacts, and a first adsorbent material. The packaging piece can be any packaging form such as a packaging bag, a packaging box and the like, and is provided with a containing cavity. The consumable cartridge is disposed within the containment cavity of the package, and the computer readable storage medium is disposed on the consumable cartridge and stores information related to the consumable cartridge and the consumable, such as ink volume, serial number, vendor information, and the like. The electrical contacts are electrically connected to the computer readable storage medium and the first adsorbent material is capable of being magnetically adsorbed. Wherein the electrical contacts, the first adsorbent material, may be provided on the consumable cartridge or package, or may be provided as a separate accessory. The first adsorption material can be selected from iron, cobalt, nickel, magnet, etc., and preferably low-cost iron or magnet. The consumable cartridge may be a consumable or replaceable component used in the field of printing, such as a cartridge, an ink cartridge, a cartridge, etc., and the computer readable storage medium is used to communicate with an image forming device (e.g., a printer), store data during printing, etc.

Furthermore, the electric contact and the first adsorption material are positioned on the same side of the package or the consumable component when in use, so that the space occupation is reduced, and the test is convenient. In use, on the same side of the consumable assembly, this can be understood as follows: the electric contact and the first adsorption material are fixed in position and are always positioned on the same side surface; or, the two may be in a non-fixed manner, such as detachable, position-adjustable, etc., and when not in use, the two are in an arbitrary position relationship, but in use, the two are kept in the same side position relationship.

The positions of the ground terminal, the data terminal, the control terminal, the power terminal, and the like of each computer-readable storage medium may be different, and if the test heads are used in a mixed manner, the computer-readable storage medium may be damaged or cannot be programmed. Through the improvement, the problems that the probe is mistakenly connected with the electric contact due to the fact that an operator takes the testing head reversely, for example, the power end of the probe is connected with the grounding end of the computer readable storage medium, the writing error is caused, and the computer readable storage medium is damaged can be effectively solved. And further reducing the situation that the test head is taken by an operator by mistake, and the test head with the similar shape is used on the non-corresponding computer readable storage medium for programming, so that the programming is unsuccessful or the computer readable storage medium is damaged, and the like. As shown in fig. 10, various ways of laying the first adsorbent material are schematically illustrated. If will be used in 10(a) the overall arrangement with the test head of 10(b) overall arrangement when the consumptive material subassembly (or consumptive material box) of overall arrangement, N type magnet takes place to repel with another N line magnet, consequently, can judge fast through the adsorption characteristic before not burning yet that both mismatch, and then quick replacement corresponds the test head.

Referring to fig. 1 and 2, the present embodiment discloses a consumable assembly 100, which includes a package 2 and a consumable box 1, in the present embodiment, the package 2 is a packaging box, the packaging box has a containing cavity for containing the consumable box 1, a computer-readable storage medium 12 and an electrical contact 13 are disposed on the consumable box 1, and the electrical contact 13 is electrically connected to the computer-readable storage medium 12. The packaging box is provided with a detection window 21, and the first absorbent 14 is arranged on the same side of the detection window 21, preferably on the periphery of the detection window 21.

Referring to fig. 3 and 4, it will be appreciated that in other embodiments, the package 2 may be a packaging bag having a receiving cavity for receiving the consumable cartridge 1 and a detection window 21. The consumable box 1 is provided with a computer readable storage medium 12, an electrical contact 13 and a first adsorption material 14, the electrical contact 13 is electrically connected with the computer readable storage medium 12, and when the consumable box 1 is installed in the containing cavity of the packaging bag, the electrical contact 13 is exposed at the detection window 21.
