Liquid ejecting apparatus

摘要

Provided is a liquid ejecting apparatus capable of suppressing ink from remaining on a nozzle surface.;A liquid ejecting apparatus includes a head unit 16 capable of ejecting a liquid from a nozzle 27 provided in a nozzle surface 22a of a nozzle plate 22, an anchoring plate 17 in which the head unit 16 is anchored and that is provided with an opening region 17a that exposes the nozzle surface 22, and a wiper member 12 that wipes an anchoring plate exposed-surface 17b located on the opposite side of the head unit 16 of the anchoring plate 17 and the nozzle surface 22a. When an angle of contact between the nozzle surface 22a and the liquid is taken as θn, an angle of contact between the anchoring plate exposed-surface 17b and the liquid is taken as θs, and an angle of contact between the wiper member 12 and the liquid is taken as θw, the relationship θn>θs>θw>90° is fulfilled.

主权项

1. A liquid ejecting apparatus having a wiper member for wiping a recording head, comprising:
a recording head, the recording head comprising:
a communication plate having a flow channel,a nozzle formation member which has a nozzle communicating with the flow channel and which covers a portion of the communication plate, andan anchoring plate which covers another portion of the communication plate while not contacting the nozzle formation member, wherein the wiper member is provided such that the wiper member firstly contacts with the anchoring plate and the wiper member secondarily moves toward the nozzle formation member and wipes the nozzle formation member through a relative movement of the recording head and the wiper member, wherein a gap is provided between the anchoring plate and the nozzle formation member, and wherein the portion of the communication plate that is covered by the nozzle formation member is on a first side of the gap and the portion of the communication plate covered by the anchoring plate is on a second side of the gap.
