An inkjet recording apparatus includes: a slider 30 movable back and forth with respect to a fixed base 4 disposed near a home position of an ink cartridge 10 ; a cap 20 which is attached to the upper part of the slider 30 , formed of an elastic member that is opened on its upper end portion 21 so as to cover the head surface 11 of the ink cartridge 10 , narrowed at the middle portion 22 , and widened toward the lower end portion 23 ; and a cam mechanism 5 which changes the pressure inside the cap 20 from a positively pressurized status into a negatively pressurized status when the ink cartridge 10 moves within the home position, and at a standby state, maintains the negatively pressurized status so that the cap 20 adsorbs to the head surface 11.
