Ink-jet recording apparatus

An ink-jet recording apparatus comprising:

• a recording head comprising an ejection surface in which an ejection port, which is configured to eject ink toward a recording medium conveyed by a conveying member in a conveyance direction, is formed;
• a first wall configured to oppose the ejection surface;
• a second wall configured to enclose surroundings of the ejection surface;
• a first wall moving unit configured to move the first wall between a first position at which the first wall opposes the ejection surface, and is spaced apart from the ejection surface, and a second position at which the first wall does not oppose the ejection surface;
• and
• a second wall moving unit configured to move the second wall between a third position at which the second wall is in contact with the first wall positioned at the first position and a fourth position at which the second wall is not in contact with the first wall positioned at the first position and at which a distance between the second wall and the conveying member is greater than a distance between the ejection surface and the conveying member, and
• wherein an attitude of the first wall positioned at the second position and an attitude of the first wall at the first position are different, and
• wherein the first wall positioned at the first position and the second wall positioned at the third position form a closed space, which covers the ejection port.
