Mist collection device and liquid ejection device

摘要

A liquid ejection device includes an ejection head, a suction section, a space section, a collection part, an outlet section and a suction device. The suction section has a slit shaped opening. The space section is in communication with the suction section and has an internal volume greater than an internal volume of the suction section. The collection part is configured to collect the mist generated by ejecting the liquid by separating the mist from air suctioned by the suction section. The outlet section has a first opening and a second opening, the first opening is in communication with the space section and the second opening is in communication with the collection part. The suction device is configured to generate an air flow flowing from the suction section to the collection part. Opening area of the slit shaped opening is greater than opening area of the first opening.
