MAINTENANCE DEVICE, LIQUID EJECTING DEVICE, AND MAINTENANCE METHOD FOR LIQUID EJECTING DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18507760 titled 'MAINTENANCE DEVICE, LIQUID EJECTING DEVICE, AND MAINTENANCE METHOD FOR LIQUID EJECTING DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The maintenance device described in the patent application includes a cap, a cap moving portion, a suction portion, a switching portion, and a drive transmission unit. The drive transmission unit consists of a drive source, a first transmission mechanism, and a second transmission mechanism. The first transmission mechanism contains a first drive delay unit that does not transmit drive power from the drive source when the drive source switches the switching portion via the second transmission mechanism. The second transmission mechanism includes a second drive delay unit that does not transmit drive power from the drive source when the drive source moves the cap via the first transmission mechanism.
- The maintenance device includes a cap, cap moving portion, suction portion, switching portion, and drive transmission unit.
