According to the present invention, firstly, since the cleaning liquid is deposited onto the nozzle surface by the nozzle surface cleaning liquid deposition device, then it is possible to raise the dissolving effect, which is a chemical effect of dissolving adhering material which is adhering to the nozzle surface. Consequently, it is possible to remove the adhering material readily by subsequently wiping the nozzle surface with the wiping member, and hence the physical effects can also be improved. Furthermore, since the cleaning liquid is deposited so as to wet the wiping member, then it is possible to suppress the drawing out of liquid from the nozzles due to the absorbing characteristics of the wiping member, and therefore ejection defects due to solidification of drawn out liquid can be prevented. Consequently, it is possible to improve ejection stability of the droplet ejection head.

Nozzle surface cleaning apparatus and image recording apparatus

According to an inkjet recording apparatus as an aspect of the present invention, the nozzle surface is wiped by a wiping member which rotates about an axle perpendicular to the nozzle surface. Consequently, the nozzle surface can be wiped in multiple directions and it is possible effectively to prevent deterioration of the lyophobic film, or adhering material being pushed inside the nozzles, due to wiping in one direction only. Furthermore, since a composition which rotates only the wiping member is adopted, then the composition of the wiping apparatus can be made compact.
