Abstract
A manufacturing method of a liquid supply component in which a liquid supply path is formed between a first constituent component and a second constituent component that are joined with molten resin. The method includes a first step of preparing these constituent components, a second step of causing the constituent components to face each other and forming an orifice portion and a reservoir portion between a mold and a surface of either of the constituent components, and a third step of pouring the molten resin between the constituent components so that it flows into the reservoir portion through the orifice portion.

A manufacturing method of a liquid supply component in which a liquid supply path is formed between a first constituent component and a second constituent component that are joined with molten resin, the method comprising:
- a first step of preparing the first constituent component and the second constituent component;
- a second step of causing the first constituent component and the second constituent component to face each other and forming an orifice portion and a reservoir portion between a mold and a surface of either of the first constituent component and the second constituent component;
- and
- a third step of pouring the molten resin between the first constituent component and the second constituent component so that the molten resin flowing from between the first constituent component and the second constituent component flows into the reservoir portion through the orifice portion,
- wherein a wall portion provided on the surface of either of the first constituent component and the second constituent component is located between the reservoir portion and a joining portion of the first constituent component and the second constituent component joined with the molten resin,
- wherein the orifice portion is formed between the mold and a notch provided on the wall portion, and
- wherein, in the second step, a projection portion provided in the mold is brought into contact with at least a part of a surface of the wall portion located at the reservoir portion.
A manufacturing method of a liquid supply component in which a liquid supply path is formed between a first constituent component and a second constituent component that are joined with molten resin, the method comprising:
- a first step of preparing the first constituent component and the second constituent component;
- a second step of causing the first constituent component and the second constituent component to face each other and forming an orifice portion and a reservoir portion between a mold and a surface of either of the first constituent component and the second constituent component;
- and
- a third step of pouring the molten resin between the first constituent component and the second constituent component so that the molten resin flowing from between the first constituent component and the second constituent component flows into the reservoir portion through the orifice portion,
- wherein the first step comprises injection-molding the first constituent component between a first position of a first mold and a first position of a second mold and injection-molding the second constituent component between a second position of the first mold and a second position of the second mold, and
- where the second step comprises:
- opening the first mold and the second mold of the mold so that the first constituent component is left at the first position of the first mold and the second constituent component is left at the second position of the second mold, and then relatively moving the first mold and the second mold so that the first constituent component and the second constituent component face each other;
- and
- closing the first mold and the second mold so that the first constituent component and the second constituent component face each other, and forming the orifice portion and the reservoir portion between either of the first mold and the second mold and the surface of a corresponding one of the first constituent component and the second constituent component.
