The following describes the steps of the remanufacturing method, and as shown in fig. 7, a method for manufacturing a recycled ink cartridge includes the steps of:
s100: an acquisition step of acquiring a recovery ink cartridge;
S200: a modification step of removing the blocking structure in the liquid introducing portion 63, and sealing the opening of the original cavity wall of the liquid introducing portion 63 with a modification wall to form an inner cavity 63a communicating with the liquid accommodating member 5 in the liquid introducing portion 63;
S300: in the ink filling step, ink is filled into the inner chamber 63a through the ink filling hole 636 in the original chamber wall.
S400: and a sealing step of sealing the ink filling hole 636 in the liquid introduction part 63.
In the step S100, the recovered ink cartridge is a recovered large-capacity type ink cartridge, that is, a type with a larger capacity in the same-series ink cartridges with similar structures, and it should be noted that the above-mentioned step of obtaining should be understood as a whole set of material preparation processes including the steps of recovery, sorting and cleaning.
In the step S200 of remanufacturing, the blocking structure in the liquid introducing portion 63 is removed, and as shown in fig. 1, the original structure of the liquid introducing portion 63 in the recovery cartridge is a pipe 05, and the pipe wall of the pipe 05 is fused by hot pressing to form the blocking structure, and after the ink in the cartridge is used up, the ink cannot be injected through the pipe 05, so that the blocking structure needs to be removed, for example, the entire pipe 05 needs to be removed, and the liquid introducing portion 63 can be cut off by various processing methods such as cutting, milling and the like.
In the step S200 of remanufacturing, further comprising sealing the opening of the original cavity wall using the remanufactured wall, specifically, firstly cutting out a predetermined portion on the substrate 61 where the liquid introducing portion 63 is located to form a first concave portion 611 and a second concave portion 612 on both sides in the width direction of the liquid introducing portion 63, respectively, the predetermined portion may be removed from the substrate 61 by various processing methods such as cutting, milling, etc., and in the process of cutting the first concave portion 611 and the second concave portion 612, it is necessary to cut the joint surface (the surface facing the Y axis direction) of the first concave portion 611 and the second concave portion 612 to be flush with the side surface of the original cavity wall in the width direction. Then, the openings at two ends of the original cavity wall are sealed by the reformed wall, wherein the joint surface of the first reformed wall 634 and the first concave portion 611 and the side surface of the original cavity wall are attached and then fixed by a welding or dispensing process, and the joint surface of the second reformed wall 635 and the second concave portion 612 and the side surface of the original cavity wall are attached and then fixed by a welding or dispensing process, so that the sealing reforming of the openings at two ends of the original cavity wall is completed.
In the step S300 of filling ink, the rear wall b of the ink cartridge may be placed downward, and then the ink may be filled into the ink filling hole 636 by inserting the ink filling needle, so that the ink filling needle is only inserted into the inner cavity 63a of the liquid introducing portion 63, and the ink filling needle is not required to be inserted into the liquid accommodating member 5, thereby preventing the liquid accommodating member 5 from being damaged in the ink filling step. When ink is filled, ink flows into the liquid containing member 5 from the inner chamber 63a, and after the liquid containing member 5 is filled, ink can be filled into the inner chamber 63a, so that the ink storage space is increased, and the amount of stored ink increases.
In the step S400, after the liquid containing member 5 and the inner chamber 63a of the liquid introducing portion 63 are filled with ink, the ink filling hole 636 is sealed by the stopper 637. The blocking member 637 is an elastic blocking member, and can seal the ink filling hole 636 by its elastic action after being inserted into the ink filling hole 636, thereby preventing the ink in the inner cavity 63a from flowing out of the ink filling hole 636.
In the step of sealing in S400, a fixing member may be further added to seal, and the sealing member 637 may be completely covered on the outside with the fixing member. The fixing piece is made of a thin film material, the area of the thin film is larger than that of the blocking piece 637, the thin film is completely covered on the outer side of the blocking piece 637 and then is fixed on the original cavity wall through a welding or dispensing process, and the sealing performance can be enhanced by the aid of the fixing piece, and dislocation of the blocking piece 637 is prevented.
To this end, the entire remanufacturing process from the recovered ink cartridge to the regenerated ink cartridge is completed.
The manufacturing method of the present invention can realize recycling of a large-capacity ink cartridge by converting the original liquid introduction portion 63 (having a fusing part) of an original ink cartridge (recovery ink cartridge) into a new liquid introduction portion 63; the inner cavity 63a of the liquid introduction portion 63 is provided on the substrate 61 so as to be protruded to provide an increased ink storage space for storing ink; the ink injection needle can be prevented from directly contacting with the liquid containing component 5 when the ink is injected, so that the liquid containing component 5 is prevented from being damaged in the ink injection link; in addition, the effect of recycling can be achieved by only changing a small part of the original ink box (recycling ink box), the sealing performance is enhanced by the sealing piece 637 and the fixing piece arranged on the outer side of the sealing piece, and ink leakage can be effectively prevented. The regenerated ink box obtained after remanufacturing can be normally put into a printer for use, so that the ink box can be reused, and resources are saved.
What has been described above is merely some embodiments of the present invention. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention.
