INK-JET RECORDING APPARATUS

摘要

An ink-jet recording apparatus includes: a roller; a first supporting member; a recording section; a second supporting member; and a first waved-shape imparting mechanism configured to impart, to the sheet, the waved shape so that both end portions of the sheet in the width direction are oriented downward. An upstream end portion, of the second supporting surface, in the conveyance direction is located below a downstream end portion of a first supporting surface of the first supporting member in the conveyance direction. The second supporting surface of the second supporting member is formed with projections arranged respectively at locations, of the second supporting surface, at which the both end portions of the sheet in the width direction are supported, the projections projecting upward above a location of the second supporting surface at which a central portion of the sheet in the width direction is supported.

主权项

1. An ink-jet recording apparatus configured to jet ink onto a sheet, comprising:
a roller configured to convey the sheet in a conveyance direction; a first supporting member arranged upstream of the roller in the conveyance direction and having a first supporting surface configured to support the sheet; a recording section arranged at a position above the first supporting member and configured to jet droplets of the ink toward the first supporting member; a second supporting member arranged downstream of the first supporting member in the conveyance direction and having a second supporting surface configured to support the sheet between the first supporting member and the roller in the conveyance direction; and a first waved-shape imparting mechanism arranged upstream of the second supporting surface in the conveyance direction and configured to impart, to the sheet, a waved shape along a width direction, of the sheet, which is orthogonal to the conveyance direction, so that both end portions, of the sheet, in the width direction are oriented downward, wherein an upstream end portion, of the second supporting surface, in the conveyance direction is located at a position below a downstream end portion of the first supporting surface in the conveyance direction; and the second supporting surface of the second supporting member is formed with projections arranged respectively at locations, of the second supporting surface, at which the both end portions of the sheet in the width direction are supported by the second supporting surface, the projections projecting upward above a location of the second supporting surface at which a central portion of the sheet in the width direction is supported by the second supporting surface.
