Methods of manufacturing recycled liquid cartridge and liquid cartridge, and liquid cartridge

摘要

The method includes: (a) preparing a liquid cartridge to be recycled and including a liquid storing unit, a liquid delivery path having an opening, a blocking member detachably mounted in the liquid delivery path to block the opening, and a valve configured to be switched between an open state and a closed state; (b) removing the blocking member from the liquid delivery path; (c) switching the valve from the closed state to the open state; (d) injecting liquid into the liquid storing unit through the opening with the blocking member removed in step (b) and the valve maintained in the open state achieved in step (c); (e) switching the valve from the open state to the closed state after performing step (d); and (f) assembling the blocking member or another blocking member different from the blocking member in the liquid delivery path to block the opening after performing step (e).

1. A method of manufacturing a recycled liquid cartridge, the method comprising:
(a) preparing a liquid cartridge to be recycled, the liquid cartridge comprising a liquid storing unit configured to store liquid therein, a liquid delivery path that is in fluid communication with the liquid storing unit and is configured to supply liquid externally from the liquid storing unit, the liquid delivery path having an opening, a blocking member detachably mounted in the liquid delivery path to block the opening, and a valve configured to be switched between an open state in which the liquid delivery path is opened and a closed state in which the liquid delivery path is closed, the valve being positioned between the opening and the liquid storing unit; (b) removing the blocking member from the liquid delivery path; (c) switching the valve from the closed state to the open state; (d) injecting liquid into the liquid storing unit through the opening with the blocking member removed in step (b) and the valve maintained in the open state achieved in step (c); (e) switching the valve from the open state to the closed state after performing step (d); and (f) assembling the blocking member or another blocking member different from the blocking member in the liquid delivery path to block the opening after performing step (e).
