Wiping device, ink-jet device, and wiping method

摘要

A wiping device has a wiping section that relatively moves along the nozzle surface, and the wiping section has: a curved surface in which a bulge is continuously formed along the identification line; a guiding section disposed such that the bulge faces the nozzle surface; a gas jetting port that applies gas to the curved surface; and a gas suction port that sucks the gas ejected from the gas jetting port and guided along the curved surface, wherein, as viewed from the direction perpendicular to the nozzle surface, the identification line which is the set of upper end points on the bulge on the curved surface intersects with the edges of the nozzle surface at an oblique angle.

主权项

1. A wiping device comprising:
a guiding section that is a columnar member having a U-shaped form in cross-section; a gas jetting port that is located on one side of the U-shaped form of the guiding section with respect to an identification line of the U-shaped form, and ejects gas toward the identification line along the U-shaped form; and
a gas suction port that is located on the other side of the U-shaped form of the guiding section with respect to the identification line of the U-shaped form, and sucks the gas from the identification line along the U-shaped form,wherein the identification line that connects vertexes along of the U-shaped form, the identification line includes a curved part, and both ends of the identification line form a truncated V-shape.
