INK-JET IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS

摘要

An ink-jet image forming device is provided to minimize the pollution of a nozzle part due to a roller, simplify a washing solution supply element and reduce the consumption of the washing solution. An ink-jet head(30) is mounted in a main body with a nozzle part(31), wherein the nozzle part is cleaned by a cleaning unit(40) while moving along the nozzle part. The cleaning unit includes rollers(42a,42b) supplying a washing solution to the nozzle part and a wiper(43a) for wiping the nozzle part. The ink-jet head has a washing solution nozzle(34) for supplying the washing solution to the rollers and a washing solution receiving part(35) for receiving the washing solution. The cleaning unit cleans the surface of the nozzle part. A driving unit(50) has driving and driven pulleys(53), and a driving belt(51) supported thereon.
