Abstract: A developer container includes a container body and a movable wall. The container body includes a cylindrical internal space extending in a first direction and defined by an inner surface of the container body. The container body includes a developer discharge port. The movable wall includes an outer surface disposed in close contact with the inner surface of the container body, and a conveying surface defining a storage space configured to contain the developer. The movable wall moves to the developer discharge port in the first direction from one end side toward the other end side of the internal space, while conveying the developer in the storage space to the developer discharge port. The outer surface of the movable wall includes a discharge port sealing portion. When the movable wall is at the developer discharge port, the discharge port sealing portion covers the developer discharge port.

Abstract: A developer container includes a container body, a lid, a movable wall, and a sealing member. The container body includes an inner circumferential surface defining a cylindrical internal space extending in a first direction, and a wall part defining one end surface of the internal space in the first direction. The container body has a developer discharge port closer to the wall part. The movable wall includes an outer circumferential surface and a conveying surface defining a storage space for the developer. The movable wall is movable in the internal space in the first direction from an initial position closer to the lid of the container body to a terminal position closer to the wall part while conveying the developer in the storage space. The wall part has a developer filling port penetrating the wall part and communicating with the storage space. The sealing member seals the developer filling port.

Abstract: A developer container includes a container body, a movable wall, and a stirring member. The container body is formed with a developer discharge port opening in a circumferential portion of the container body and communicating with an internal space for allowing discharge of developer therethrough. The movable wall includes an outer surface slidably in close contact with an inner surface of the container body, and a conveying surface defining a storage space for the developer, the movable wall being movable in the first direction in the internal space while conveying the developer in the storage space to the developer discharge port. The stirring member faces the developer discharge port in a direction intersecting the first direction and is rotatable to stir the developer in the storage space. The movement of the movable wall and the rotation of the stirring member are controlled independently of each other.

Abstract: A waste liquid collection apparatus includes a waste liquid tray, a collection tank, a collection pump, and a circulation pump. The waste liquid tray includes a waste liquid receiving surface inclined downward to receive a waste liquid discharged from a head unit and allow the waste liquid to flow from an upper end to a lower end of the waste liquid receiving surface, and a waste liquid discharge part that is disposed adjacent to the lower end of the waste liquid receiving surface to discharge the waste liquid. The collection pump feeds a part of the waste liquid discharged from the waste liquid discharge part to the collection tank. The circulation pump returns another part of the waste liquid discharged from the waste liquid discharge part to the upper end of the waste liquid receiving surface to circulate the other part of the waste liquid.

Abstract: An inkjet recording device has a head base, a head unit, and an adjustment mechanism. The adjustment mechanism has a guide screw, a moving member, the operation member for rotating the moving member, and an adjusting member. The moving member has a shaft hole screwed into the guide screw, and moves in an axial direction of the guide screw by rotating with respect to the guide screw. The adjusting member has a first contact portion in contact with the moving member and a second contact portion in contact with the head unit. The second contact portion moves in a direction toward the head unit and a direction away from the head unit, by moving the moving member in contact with the first contact portion in the axial direction of the guide screw.

Abstract: Provided is a liquid ejection device capable of improving the sealing property of a gap between a main housing and a liquid ejection head while maintaining a position adjustment allowance of the liquid ejection head with respect to the main housing. A main housing has one or more ejection unit protrusion opening into which the liquid ejection unit is inserted downward and protrudes through a gap in a horizontal direction, and covers and internally houses a portion of the liquid ejection head other than the liquid ejection unit. The size of the ejection unit insertion opening is smaller than the size of the ejection unit protrusion opening. The sealing member comes in contact with the outer peripheral portion of the liquid ejection unit in a state where the edge portion of the ejection unit insertion opening is bent.

Abstract: A liquid ejection device includes a liquid ejection head which ejects a first liquid, and a liquid supply unit. The liquid ejection head includes a plurality of liquid discharge holes with individual passages and a common passage for supplying the first liquid to the individual passages. The liquid supply unit includes a pressure chamber, a first supply passage communicating with the pressure chamber, and a second supply passage that makes an upstream side of a common passage communicate with the pressure chamber, a liquid drain path that makes a downstream side of the common passage communicate with the second supply passage, and a pump mechanism. The pump mechanism supplies the first liquid to the upstream side and the downstream side of the common passage through the second supply passage and the liquid drain path, and discharges the second liquid, which is filled in advance, from the liquid discharge hole.
