Description
本発明によれば、アライメントパターンに基づいて固定部材に対する相対位置が規定された状態で液体噴射ヘッドが固定部材に固定されているので、支持部材の位置決め面に対して固定部材の規制面を当接させた状態で固定することにより、支持部材に対する液体噴射ヘッドの相対位置が精度良く規定される。これにより、支持部材に固定した液体噴射ヘッドの位置ずれを確認する作業が不要になり、液体噴射ヘッドを取り付ける際の作業性を向上させることができる。また、メンテナンス時に液体噴射ヘッドを新たに交換する際、或いは、支持部材から一旦取り外した液体噴射ヘッドを支持部材に再度取り付ける際、支持部材の位置決め面に対して固定部材の規制面を当接させた状態で固定することで位置決めが完了するので、迅速且つ容易に液体噴射ヘッドの交換・修理等が可能となる。
また、前記アライメントパターンを形成する工程において、前記固定部材が前記支持部材の前記位置決め面と当接する面により保持された状態で、前記アライメントパターンを形成することが望ましい。
According to the present invention, since the liquid ejecting head is fixed to the fixing member in a state where the relative position with respect to the fixing member is defined based on the alignment pattern, the restriction surface of the fixing member is abutted against the positioning surface of the support member. By fixing in the contacted state, the relative position of the liquid jet head with respect to the support member is accurately defined. This eliminates the need to confirm the displacement of the liquid ejecting head fixed to the support member, and improves the workability when attaching the liquid ejecting head. Further, when the liquid ejecting head is newly replaced during maintenance, or when the liquid ejecting head once removed from the support member is attached to the support member again, the regulating surface of the fixing member is brought into contact with the positioning surface of the support member. Since the positioning is completed by fixing in the state, the liquid jet head can be replaced and repaired quickly and easily.
In the step of forming the alignment pattern, it is preferable that the alignment pattern is formed in a state where the fixing member is held by a surface that contacts the positioning surface of the support member.
この構成によれば、ノズル群を構成する各ノズルから液体を噴射することで実際に形成された罫線の傾きが目標範囲内となるように固定部材に対する前記液体噴射ヘッドの位置が調整させるので、支持部材に液体噴射ヘッドを取り付けた状態においても、ノズル群を構成する各ノズルから液体を噴射した際の着弾位置ずれが抑制される。
さらに、前記位置調整工程において、前記固定部材のエッジと前記アライメントパターンとが平行となるように、前記固定部材に対する前記液体噴射ヘッドの相対位置を調整することが望ましい。
また、前記第１固定工程において、前記固定部材と前記液体噴射ヘッドとの隙間に充填材を充填した状態で、前記固定部材と前記液体噴射ヘッドとが固定されることが望ましい。
さらに、前記第１固定工程において、前記液体噴射ヘッドは、前記固定部材における前記支持部材の前記位置決め面と当接する側の面とは反対側の面に固定されることが望ましい。
According to this configuration, the position of the liquid ejecting head with respect to the fixed member is adjusted so that the inclination of the ruled line actually formed by ejecting the liquid from each nozzle constituting the nozzle group is within the target range. Even in the state where the liquid ejecting head is attached to the support member, the landing position deviation when the liquid is ejected from each nozzle constituting the nozzle group is suppressed.
Furthermore, in the position adjusting step, it is preferable that the relative position of the liquid ejecting head with respect to the fixing member is adjusted so that an edge of the fixing member and the alignment pattern are parallel to each other.
In the first fixing step, it is preferable that the fixing member and the liquid ejecting head are fixed in a state where a filler is filled in a gap between the fixing member and the liquid ejecting head.
Furthermore, in the first fixing step, it is preferable that the liquid ejecting head is fixed to a surface of the fixing member that is opposite to a surface that contacts the positioning surface of the support member.
