Problems solved by technology

[0006] However, in the configuration of the above-mentioned inkjet recording device, since the springs are disposed directly below the wipers, it is difficult to stabilize the posture of each wiper.
Therefore, between each wiping sheet, there may be a problem of wiping unevenness in wiping each ink ejection surface.

Embodiment Construction

[0046] [Structure of Inkjet Recording Apparatus]

[0047] Hereinafter, the printer 100 as an inkjet recording device equipped with the maintenance device 200 of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Such as figure 1As shown, the printer 100 has a paper feed cassette 2 as a paper storage portion arranged below the inside of the printer main body 1 . Paper P, which is an example of a recording medium, is housed inside the paper feeding cassette 2 . Downstream in the paper feeding direction of the paper feeding cassette 2, i.e. figure 1 The paper feeding device 3 is disposed above the left side of the paper feeding cassette 2 in the drawing. Through this paper feeding device 3, the paper P is figure 1 The sheets are separated and sent out one by one toward the upper left of the paper feeder 2.

[0048] In addition, in the printer 100, a first paper conveyance path 4a is provided inside. The first paper conveying path 4 a is located at the u...

Abstract

A maintenance device has a maintenance unit. The maintenance unit has a blade unit to which a plurality of wiping blades are fixed, a wiper carriage to which the blade unit is attached, and a supportframe that supports the wiper carriage. The wiper carriage has a stationary portion with a sliding roller, a movable portion with a positioning roller, and an elastic member. The elastic member elastically supports the movable portion relative to the stationary portion, and elastically contracts, when the maintenance unit is pressed against a plurality of recording heads by a unit ascent-descent mechanism with an excessive pressing force stronger than a predetermined pressing force, by receiving the reaction force of the excessive pressing force.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a recording head maintenance device for performing maintenance of wiping an ink ejection surface of a recording head of an inkjet recording device, and an inkjet recording device including the maintenance device. Background technique [0002] In an inkjet recording device that ejects ink from a recording head to a recording medium to record an image, if foreign matter such as dust, paper dust, or thickened ink adheres to the nozzle plate on which the nozzle holes of the recording head are formed, the The ejection performance of the ink is adversely affected, resulting in a reduction in printing quality. Therefore, conventionally, an inkjet recording device has been proposed which has a mechanical cleaning function and wipes the ink ejection surface of the nozzle plate with a wiping sheet made of an elastic material to remove dust and paper dust adhering to the nozzle plate. [0003] In the inkjet recording apparatus de...
