Abstract: Provided is a cleaning device that can reduce maintenance-time while injecting a cleaning solution into a gap between head modules so that the cleaning solution or the like is not sucked into an inkjet head. The position of the inkjet head relative to a spray-nozzle is moved in one direction. When relative movement is performed, the relative movement is temporarily stopped or moving speed of the relative movement is reduced at a position where the gap between the head modules faces at least the spray-nozzle. The cleaning solution is sprayed to the gap at a time when the relative movement is temporarily stopped or when the moving speed of the relative movement is reduced. A removing member removing the cleaning solution present in the gap, is provided at a position separated from the spray-nozzle in the one direction by a distance of n times a pitch of the gaps.

Abstract translation: 提供了一种清洁装置，其可以在将清洁溶液注入到头部模块之间的间隙中的同时减少维护时间，使得清洁溶液等不被吸入喷墨头。 喷墨头相对于喷嘴的位置沿一个方向移动。 当执行相对运动时，相对运动暂时停止，或者相对运动的移动速度在头模块之间的间隙至少面向喷嘴的位置处减小。 当相对运动暂时停止时或当相对移动的移动速度降低时，将清洁溶液喷射到间隙。 除去间隙中存在的清洗液的除去部件设置在与喷嘴相隔一定距离的间隙的间距的n倍。

Abstract: A head cleaning apparatus is configured to move relatively along a nozzle surface of a droplet ejection head to clean the nozzle surface. The head cleaning apparatus includes: a web configured to wipe the nozzle surface; a web driving unit configured to cause the web to travel; a pair of rigid body pressing members configured to press both end portions of the web in a width direction to the nozzle surface; an elastic body pressing member provided between the pair of rigid body pressing members and provided to further protrude to a nozzle surface side than the pair of rigid body pressing members, the elastic body pressing member being configured to press a center portion of the web in the width direction to the nozzle surface; and a support member configured to support the pair of rigid body pressing members and the elastic body pressing member.
