A recovery mechanism for ink ejection recovery of an ink jet device includes a wiping member for wiping a surface having an ink ejection outlet by relative movement between the wiping member and the surface; and a rubbing member for rubbing the wiping member by relative movement therebetween, the rubbing member being heated at a predetermined temperature.

A burden on a user when changing sheets such as with an ink jet printer and the like is reduced, and the necessary stack space is secured without considering the step difference up to the mounting surface of an ejected paper tray worth of the amount of curls for sheets that easily curls such as post cards and the like. Thus, enlargement of the apparatus and increase in the manufacturing cost are suppressed, and is easily adopted for low cost type for mass consumption.

An ink-jet recording apparatus capable of efficiently performing a pressurization recovery operation on a recording head without causing clogging due to dust particles. An ink supply system for supplying ink to the head includes an ink container with an air space defined above the ink surface, and a pump for pressurizing air within the air space, which pump is arranged to connect the air space with either the pressure side of the pump or the atmosphere. In one embodiment, the ink container compriss a main ink tank, and an auxiliary ink tank, having the air space, provided between the head and the main ink tank. The main ink tank is controlled to maintain a predetermined pressure head of ink therein, and the auxiliary ink tank is positioned such that the auxiliary ink tank can have, under atmospheric pressure, substantially the same pressure head as the main ink tank. In another embodiment, a removable ink cartridge, serving as the ink container, is divided into small and large ink chambers. Thus, in either case the pump need only pressurize a small volume of air in the ink container so that, during a recovery operation, the air pressurized by the pump efficiently pressurizes the ink within the auxiliary ink tank or small ink chamber even when the amount of ink has decreased.

An ink jet recording apparatus which has at least one ink jet recording head to perform recording on a recording medium held on a rotary drum by discharging liquid ink from discharging nozzles, comprises a receptor, arranged on the rotary drum at a position which does not overlap with a position at which a recording medium is placed, for receiving ink droplets discharged by the ink jet recording head not for recording.
摘要:
A printer in which an inkjet recording head is scanned with relation to a printing medium includes an ink supply member to be connected with a reserving portion arranged within the recording head when the inkjet recording head is positioned at the end portion of a scanning area, and a suction member for providing a suction power in introducing inks from the ink supply member to the reserving portion. Associated with a movement of the inkjet recording head to the end portion, those members are connected to the inkjet recording head at a different time. Herewith, in comparison with the case where those members are connected to the inkjet recording head at the same time, a force for moving the inkjet recording head required for such connection is reduced to achieve a downsizing of a driving source for generating the movement.

First and second guide means are provided to both a movable member which moves together with a vibration member, which is in press contact with a rail-shaped stator, and the rail-shaped stator. The first and second guide means have different functions: the first guide means restricts the degree of freedom of the movable member, and the second guide means receives a total compression counterforce of the vibration member.

A liquid ejection apparatus includes a pressure sensor and a determining unit. The pressure sensor is configured to detect a pressure in an ink supply path for use in supplying ink from an ink tank to a recording head. The determining unit determines whether the ink supply path is anomalous based on a result of detection of the pressure in the ink supply path by the pressure sensor performed in response to application of a fluctuating pressure to the ink in the ink tank.

A recording apparatus includes a recording-head replacing portion, a feeding unit that feeds a recording sheet, and an eject unit that ejects the recording sheet on a front side of the apparatus. The apparatus further includes a head mount that is movable between the carriage and the head-replacing portion while the recording head is mounted on the head mount, a head-lowering member that moves the recording head from the carriage to the head mount, and a head-pushing member that moves the recording head mounted from the head mount to the carriage.
