In the second molding step, the movable mold is clamped again with the fixed mold and resin is injected into engaged portions. Each of the first molded part and the second molded part includes at least one wall extending in the first direction, and in the second molding step, the first molded part and the second molded part are engaged with each other at sides of the walls extending in the first direction.

Resin molding method

There is provided a liquid supply member capable of suppressing deformation of a liquid supply path and decrease in sealing property of a liquid supply path, during molding, and a manufacturing method of the liquid supply member. For that purpose, in die-slide injection molding that combines two components, a protection portion that protects a part of one component easily affected by heat and pressure, is provided on the other component.

Liquid supply member and manufacturing method of liquid supply member

There is provided a manufacturing method of a liquid supply member capable of suppressing decrease in sealing property of a liquid supply path and deformation of the liquid supply path or the external shape. For that purpose, a manufacturing process of a liquid supply member prevents inflow of a molten resin into a concave portion of a portion other than a liquid supply flow path in a liquid supply member.

Manufacturing method of liquid supply member

A molded part including a first member having a plurality of openings and a second member contacting with a peripheral edge of each of the plurality of openings so as to cover the openings, and having a hollow portion formed by sealing the contact portion with a sealing material, wherein: the second member defines a flow channel for filling the sealing material between the first member and the second member; the second member has a branched shape in which sections corresponding to positions covering the plurality of openings are branched from each other, and portions near a gate of the flow channel are connected as a common section; and the branched shape has a bridge structure for connecting the respective branched sections.

Molded part, manufacturing method of molded part and mold

There is provided a manufacturing method for molding a liquid supply member by using a first mold and a second mold. The method includes a first molding step of performing injection molding to form a first component part of the liquid supply member and a plurality of component parts of the liquid supply member other than the first component part at different positions from each other, with the first and the second mold closed relative to each other, a contacting step of moving each of the formed plurality of component parts relatively to the first component part to bring the formed first component part into contact with the formed plurality of component parts, with the first and the second mold opened relative to each other, and a second molding step of performing injection molding to join the first component part and the plurality of component parts.

Method for manufacturing liquid supply member

A filter is compressed between facing surfaces of a first configuration component and a second configuration component, and a molten resin is poured in such a compressed state. Injection molding of the first configuration component and the second configuration component, joining of the configuration components, and sealing of the circumference of the filter are performed by a pair of metal molds.

Manufacturing method of liquid supply component

A resin molding method includes a first molding step of molding a first molded part and a second molded part in a mold and a second molding step of joining the first molded part and the second molded part. In the first molding step, the second molded part is formed by injecting resin into an area where a first core movable in the first direction and a second core movable in a second direction are engaged. In the second molding step, the second molded part is joined to the first molded part by injecting the resin while the first core is in contact with the second molded part and the second core is removed from the second molded part. Areas where the first core and the second core are located in the first molding step become hollow areas connected to each other and part of ends of the first core in the first direction is not in contact with the second core.

There is provided a manufacturing method for molding a liquid supply member by using a first mold and a second mold in which the first mold is capable of being slid relatively to the second mold, the method including a first molding step of performing injection molding to form a first and second component parts of the liquid supply member at different positions from each other, an evacuating step of sliding the formed second component part in a direction intersecting with a direction of sliding of the first mold relative to the second mold and with a direction of the opening and the closing the first and the second mold, a contacting step of bringing the formed second component part into contact with the molded first component part, and a second molding step of performing injection molding to join the first component part and the second component part.

Provided is construction that in die slide injection molding, surely leaves each part in a mold on a specified side in the stage of opening a molding mold. In order to accomplish this, in an opening step, a push-out mechanism that applies a force on at least one of the individual parts is used to make the part surely belong to a desired mold.

Method for manufacturing liquid-ejecting head

First and second constituting components are injection-molded and joined within one pair of molds. In order to join the first and second constituting components, one of the respective regions of the first and second constituting components abutted to each other is pushed into the other.

Manufacture method of liquid supply member and manufacture apparatus

An opposed surface of a first flow path forming member has a groove portion forming a supply passage, and a protruding portion protruding from the edge of the groove portion to form the side wall of the groove portion. An opposed surface of a second flow path forming member has a lid portion that abuts against the protruding portion of the first flow path forming member to cover the opening of the groove portion in the first flow path forming member. A joining member is formed by injection-molding of a resin to abut against an outer surface of the protruding portion of the first flow path forming member and the opposed surfaces of the first and second flow path forming members.

Liquid ejection head, liquid ejection apparatus, flow path member, and method for manufacturing liquid ejection head

Provided is a method for manufacturing a liquid-ejecting head whereby in die slide injection molding it is possible to stably inject resin in secondary molding without damaging the shapes of parts that were formed in primary molding. In order for that, in the connecting section in which a convex section of a cover member is inserted into an opening of a liquid-supply member, the closest distance to the opening in the area where secondary resin is injected is made larger than the gap between the opening and the convex section. As a result, the resin is prevented from flowing into a liquid path during the secondary molding.
