Abstract
A head lifting lowering device includes: a lifting lowering mechanism that moves a liquid ejecting head, which ejects a liquid, in a first direction in which the liquid ejecting head is lifted/lowered; a frame that supports the lifting lowering mechanism; and an adjusting member that moves the lifting lowering mechanism relative to the frame in a second direction different from the first direction.
Claims14
A head lifting lowering device, comprising:
- a lifting lowering mechanism that moves a liquid ejecting head, which ejects a liquid, straight in a first direction in which the liquid ejecting head is lifted/lowered, wherein the lifting lowering mechanism includes a first rail and a second rail;
- a frame that supports the lifting lowering mechanism;
- and
- an adjusting member that moves the first rail relative to the frame in a second direction different from the first direction, wherein
- the second direction is orthogonal to the first direction,
- the first rail and the second rail are supported by the frame,
- the first rail and the second rail each guide, in the first direction, a protrusion provided on the liquid ejecting head,
- the second rail is fixed to the frame,
- the first direction includes a component of a horizontal direction,
- the first rail includes an upper wall and a lower wall that form a moving path on which the protrusion moves,
- a first gap between the upper wall and the lower wall at a first end of the moving path is smaller than a second gap between the upper wall and the lower wall at a second end of the moving path,
- first end of the moving path is opposite to the second end of the moving path, and
- the second end of the moving path is adjacent to the second rail.
