摘要:
A method of injecting a liquid into a liquid container detachably mounted on a liquid consuming device, the liquid container comprising: a liquid containing chamber (370) containing the liquid; a liquid supply port (50) connectable to the liquid consuming device; a liquid guide path for guiding the liquid contained in the liquid containing chamber to the liquid supply port; an air communicating path (150) communicating the liquid containing chamber with air and having a communicating passage portion (360) that is narrower than at least a part of other communicating paths in the air communicating path and can store some liquid contained in the liquid containing chamber by a meniscus; and a liquid residual quantity sensor (31) provided in the liquid guide path for outputting different signals in accordance with a residual amount of the liquid in the liquid containing portion, wherein the liquid contained in the liquid containing chamber can be blocked from the air by the liquid stored in the communicating passage portion, the method comprising: forming an injection port (601) on a more upstream side than an upstream end of the communicating passage portion (360); injecting a predetermined amount of liquid from the injection port; and sealing the injection port after injecting the liquid.
摘要:
A method for sealing a bore (49) formed in a cover film (31) is disclosed. An ink inlet hole (21, 22) formed in an ink cartridge (11) is covered at a hole covering area of the cover film (31). The method includes formation of a recess (45) outside the hole covering area by removing a portion of the cover film (31), mounting a seal film (51) on the cover film in such a manner that the seal film (50) covers the bore (49), and sealing the bore (49) with the seal film (50) by heating the seal film (50) with the seal film (50) mounted on the cover film (31) and thereby melting a side of the seal film (50) opposed to the cover film (31).

A method of injecting a liquid into a liquid container detachably mounted on a liquid consuming device, the liquid container including; a liquid containing portion (370); a liquid supply portion (50) connectable to the liquid consuming device; a liquid guide passage for guiding the liquid contained in the liquid containing portion to the liquid supply portion; an air communicating passage (150) communicating the liquid containing portion with air; a first inner wall surface; and a second inner wall surface intersecting with the first inner wall surface, the first inner wall surface having a liquid containing portion outlet formed close to the second inner wall surface and allowing the liquid containing portion to communicate with the liquid guide passage, the method including: forming an injection port (601) communicating with the liquid containing portion in the air communicating passage (150); injecting a predetermined amount of liquid through the injection port; and sealing the injection port after injecting the liquid.
摘要:
A liquid container 1 including at least three liquid containing chambers 370, 390 and 430 which are mutually connected so as to have a descending connection and an ascending connection is provided. An injection port 601 communicating with the liquid containing chamber 370 positioned on the most upstream side is opened. The inside, of the liquid containing chamber 370 is depressurized by means of the vacuum sucking from a liquid supply hole 50. After a liquid is injected from the injection port 601 to a side of the liquid containing chamber 370, the injection hole 50 is sealed.

A method of injecting a liquid into a liquid container detachably mounted on a liquid consuming apparatus, the liquid container including a liquid containing portion (370), a liquid supply portion (50) connectable to a liquid ejecting portion of the liquid consuming apparatus, a liquid guide passage for guiding the liquid stored in the liquid containing portion to the liquid supply portion, an air communicating passage (150) communicating the liquid containing chamber with air, a liquid detection unit (31) provided in the liquid guide passage and for outputting different signals between in a case where the liquid guide passage is filled with the liquid and in a case where the liquid guide passage includes air entered thereinto, and a bubble trapping passage (713) provided in the liquid guide passage between a detection position of the liquid detection unit (31) and the liquid containing portion (370) to trap bubbles in the liquid, the method includes: forming an injection port (601) communicating with the liquid containing portion in the air communicating passage; injecting a predetermined amount of the liquid through the injection port; and sealing the injection port after injecting the liquid.
摘要:
A method of refilling an ink cartridge for use in an ink-jet recorder comprising the steps of: positioning an ink bag (1) on a surface (40c); inserting an ink needle (44) into a port (5) of the ink bag; discharging the ink in the ink bag; and subsequently charging the ink bag with a specified quantity of ink. The ink may be discharged by applying negative pressure via the ink needle while the ink bag is compressed by press plates (45) and the ink bag may be charged in a vacuum environment. Moreover, the ink for charging the ink bag may be fed by a gas-liquid separation unit (52) for substantially removing gas from the ink.
