[Problems and Object to be Solved by the Invention] However, in the conventional capping device, since capping can be rotated only in one direction, the elasticity of the cap, which is an elastic body, is used in the direction orthogonal to that direction. The gap in the parallelism between the cap and the print head was compensated for, and the surface pressure distribution on the contact surface of the cap with the print head was biased. However, in the width direction perpendicular to the rotation direction of the cap, the width of the cap was narrow, and thus the above-mentioned method also achieved the predetermined purpose.However, the cap was enlarged by, for example, providing a plurality of rows of nozzles of the print head. If the need arises, capping failures due to variations in the posture of the cap may occur, causing ink ejection failure due to drying of the ink near the nozzles, and causing contamination of the electronic device due to ink leakage from the cap. Was. In addition, there is also a problem that it is difficult to perform a stable cap every time when the posture of the cap varies when performing the cap.

[Operation] According to the above configuration of the present invention, even if the parallelism between the contact surface of the cap and the print head contact surface is not accurately obtained,
As the cap is pressed against the print head, the contact surface of the cap swings due to the action of the hemispherical projections and recesses, and accurately contacts the print head. In addition, since the pressing force of the cap to the print head is given to the cap only by the contact between the hemispherical convex portion and the concave portion, the surface pressure distribution on the cap contact surface becomes substantially constant, and the ink is dried or the ink is dried. Capable of stable capping without leakage.

FIG. 2 is a side view and a cross-sectional view of the capping device shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 2A, even when the print head 1 moves back and forth with respect to the cap 2 as indicated by the arrow A, the cap support member 3 rotates about the fulcrum 3a as indicated by the arrow B, and the cap 2 is simultaneously moved. , Cap fixing frame 5
It is the same as the conventional example that it is configured to rotate about the projection 5b as a center as shown by the arrow C and always be able to cap in the same posture. Further, in the present invention, as shown in FIG.
The cap fixing frame 5 fixing the cap 2 even when the cap fixing frame is rotated only while the cap fixing frame 5 is in contact with the hemispherical projection 3c of the cap support member and the hemispherical concave portion 5a of the cap fixing frame. While moving in the track hole 3b of the cap support member, the cylindrical projection 5b rotates by an angle θ2 such that θ1 = θ2 and is capped as shown in the figure. At this time, the force pressing the cap 2 against the head 1 is transmitted in a point contact state by one point of the hemispherical convex portion 3c and one point of the hemispherical concave portion 5a. Therefore, in order to make the surface pressure distribution of the cap 2 uniform, the hemispherical concave portion 5a of the cap fixing frame 5 may be arranged at the center of the contact surface of the cap 2 with the head 1.

FIG. 3 shows a second embodiment of the present invention, in which a hook 5d is provided on a part of a cap fixing frame 5, and a cap attitude control spring 8 for keeping the attitude of the cap constant is hung thereon. The lower portion is always pulled to the opposite side of the print head 1. When the cap 2 is not in contact with the print head 1, the cap 2 is slightly turned down by the action of the cap attitude control spring 8, and in this state, a cap opening / closing mechanism (not shown) and a tension coil spring When the capping operation is performed by the operation of the cap 4, the cap support member 3 rotates as shown by the arrow B and the cap 2
The cap 2 comes in contact with the print head 1 from the upper end 2a of the seal surface. At this time, if the force of the cap attitude control spring is too strong, the surface pressure distribution on the sealing surface becomes non-uniform, which causes poor capping. Therefore, the minimum value that can control the attitude of the cap 2 is desirable.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention, even if the positional relationship between the print head and the cap member covering the print head is relatively varied, the mechanism by which the sealing surface of the cap can be in close contact with the print head in parallel. Has a great effect of minimizing the deviation of the surface pressure distribution on the sealing surface. Furthermore, by providing a cap attitude control spring to keep the attitude of the cap constant, there is a great effect that stable capping is always enabled.
