Liquid ejecting apparatus
A liquid ejecting apparatus includes an ejection section that ejects a liquid, a medium supporting section that supports a medium onto which the liquid is ejected, a heater that is disposed at a position which is not in contact with the medium supporting section and is configured to emit a thermal energy, a heat receiving section that receives the thermal energy emitted from the heater, and a stop section that stops the heater when a temperature of the heat receiving section becomes a predetermined temperature or higher, wherein the heat receiving section is disposed at a position on a first direction side with respect to the heater and between the heater and the medium supporting section, when the first direction is defined as a direction which is directed from the heater to the medium supporting section.
1. A liquid ejecting apparatus comprising:
an ejection section that ejects a liquid;
a medium supporting section that supports a medium onto which the liquid is ejected;
a heater that is disposed at a position which is not in contact with the medium supporting section and is configured to emit a thermal energy;
a heat receiving section that receives the thermal energy emitted from the heater; and
a stop section that detects a temperature of the heat receiving section, and stops the heater when a detected temperature of the heat receiving section becomes a predetermined temperature or higher,
wherein the heat receiving section is disposed at a position on a first direction side with respect to the heater and between the heater and the medium supporting section, when the first direction is defined as a direction which is directed from the heater to the medium supporting section, a portion of the heating receiving section is disposed outside of the medium supporting section in a direction orthogonal to the first direction.
2. The liquid ejecting apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the heater includes a first area which opposes the medium when the medium is supported by the medium supporting section and a second area which does not oppose the medium when the medium is supported by the medium supporting section, and
the heat receiving section is disposed at a position which opposes the second area of the heater.
3. The liquid ejecting apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the heater has a configuration in which an output of the thermal energy in an area which opposes the heat receiving section is higher than an output of thermal energy in an area which does not oppose the heat receiving section.
4. The liquid ejecting apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the heat receiving section has a thermal diffusivity of 80 (mm 2 /sec) or more.
5. The liquid ejecting apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the heat receiving section has an emissivity of 0.8 or more.
6. The liquid ejecting apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the heat receiving section is a plate shaped member having a thickness of 0.3 mm or less.
7. The liquid ejecting apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising a cover member that covers at least part of the stop section.
8. The liquid ejecting apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the heat receiving section is separated from the medium.
