Abstract
A printing device includes a cleaning head configured to contact a cleaning member with the screen mask to perform a cleaning process on the screen mask, a moving section connectable and disconnectable to the cleaning head to move the cleaning head between a cleaning area and a standby area, a door member configured to open and close an opening portion through which the cleaning member passes when the cleaning member is moved from the standby area to an outside of the printing device and be lockable in a closed state, and a control section configured to unlock the door member in a state where the moving section is disconnected to the cleaning head and the cleaning head is located in the standby area.

A printing device for performing a print process of a viscous fluid on a printing target using a screen mask, the printing device comprising:
- a cleaning section having a cleaning head configured to contact a cleaning member with the screen mask to perform a cleaning process on the screen mask;
- a moving section connectable and disconnectable to the cleaning section to move the cleaning section between a cleaning area and a standby area;
- a door member configured to open and close an opening portion through which the cleaning member passes when the cleaning member is moved from the standby area to an outside of the printing device and be lockable in a closed state;
- and
- a control section configured to unlock the door member in a state where the moving section and the cleaning section are disconnected from each other and in a state where the cleaning section is located in the standby area.
A cleaning unit used in a printing device for performing a print process of a viscous fluid on a printing target using a screen mask, the cleaning unit comprising:
- a cleaning head configured to contact a cleaning member with the screen mask to perform a cleaning process on the screen mask;
- and
- a control section configured to unlock a door member configured to open and close an opening portion through which the cleaning member passes when the cleaning member is moved from a standby area to an outside of the printing device and be lockable in a closed state in a state where a moving section connectable and disconnectable to the cleaning unit and moving the cleaning unit between a cleaning area and the standby area and the cleaning unit are disconnected from each other and in a state where the cleaning unit is located in the standby area.
A control method for a printing device for performing a print process of a viscous fluid on a printing target using a screen mask, the printing device including a cleaning section having a cleaning head configured to contact a cleaning member with the screen mask to perform a cleaning process on the screen mask, a moving section connectable and disconnectable to the cleaning section to move the cleaning section between a cleaning area and a standby area, and a door member configured to open and close an opening portion through which the cleaning member passes when the cleaning member is moved from the standby area to an outside of the printing device and be lockable in a closed state, the control method comprising:
- unlocking the door member in a state where the moving section and the cleaning section are disconnected from each other and the cleaning section is located in the standby area.
