Head lifting lowering device, control method of head lifting lowering device, non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing program, manufacturing method of head lifting lowering device
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.
1 . A head lifting lowering device, comprising:
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, different from the lifting lowering mechanism, that moves the lifting lowering mechanism relative to the frame in a second direction different from the first direction.
2 . The head lifting lowering device according to claim 1 , wherein
the lifting lowering mechanism includes a rail supported by the frame, and
the rail guides, in the first direction, a protrusion provided on the liquid ejecting head.
3 . The head lifting lowering device according to claim 2 , wherein
the lifting lowering mechanism further includes a driving gear and a rack that engages the driving gear,
the rack moves relative to the driving gear in the first direction in accordance with rotation of the driving gear,
teeth of the rack face the second direction, and
the adjusting member changes a position of the rack with respect to the driving gear in the second direction.
4 . The head lifting lowering device according to claim 3 , wherein a maximum change amount by which the adjusting member changes the position of the rack is smaller than a height of the teeth.
5 . The head lifting lowering device according to claim 2 , wherein a dimension of the rail is longer than a dimension of the liquid ejecting head in the first direction.
6 . The head lifting lowering device according to claim 1 , wherein
the lifting lowering mechanism includes a reference member that supports the liquid ejecting head and a movable member that supports the liquid ejecting head,
the lifting lowering mechanism is configured to move relative to the frame, and
the adjusting member moves the movable member relative to the reference member.
7 . The head lifting lowering device according to claim 6 , wherein the reference member and the movable member are provided apart from each other in a longitudinal direction of the liquid ejecting head.
8 . The head lifting lowering device according to claim 6 , wherein the reference member and the movable member are provided apart from each other in the first direction.
9 . The head lifting lowering device according to claim 1 , wherein the adjusting member is provided outside the frame.
10 . The head lifting lowering device according to claim 1 , wherein
the lifting lowering mechanism is provided inside the frame,
the adjusting member includes a screw provided outside the frame, and
the lifting lowering mechanism moves in the second direction upon rotation of the screw.
11 . A control method of the head lifting lowering device according to claim 1 ,
the lifting lowering mechanism including a movable rail configured to move relative to the frame and a fixed rail fixed to the frame, the control method comprising:
a first moving step of causing the liquid ejecting head to move along the fixed rail; and
a second moving step of causing the liquid ejecting head to move along the movable rail successively after the first moving step.
12 . A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program that causes a computer to execute the control method of the head lifting lowering device according to claim 11 .
13 . A manufacturing method of the head lifting lowering device according to claim 1 , the manufacturing method comprising:
an adjusting step of moving the lifting lowering mechanism relative to the frame in the second direction; and
an attaching step of attaching the liquid ejecting head to the lifting lowering mechanism after the adjusting step.
14 . 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;
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.
15 . A head lifting lowering device, comprising:
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;
wherein the second direction is parallel to a transporting direction in which a medium is transported at a position facing the liquid ejecting head.
