The present application is based on, and claims priority from JP Application Serial Number 2020-046075, filed Mar. 17, 2020, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.

BACKGROUND

1. Technical Field

The present disclosure relates to a recording device and a transport device.

2. Related Art

In the past, as illustrated in JP 2011-73813 A, a recording device has been known that includes an endless belt for transporting a recording medium, a recording head for discharging ink onto the recording medium being transported, and a cleaning unit as a contact portion that contacts the endless belt. The cleaning unit of the recording device includes a wiping blade that contacts an outer circumferential surface of the endless belt.

However, the wiping blade of the above recording device is inclined in one direction with respect to a direction in which the endless belt moves, and is disposed in a range that does not exceed a width of the endless belt, thus there is a problem in that a difference in a width direction occurs in tension acting on the endless belt on one end portion side and another end portion side of the wiping blade, and the endless belt is oblique in a direction in which tension is higher. When the endless belt is oblique, an application position of ink onto the recording medium shifts, which may lead to a decrease in quality of a recording object.

SUMMARY

A recording device includes a recording unit capable of performing recording on a medium, a transporting belt capable of transporting the medium, and a first contact portion and a second contact portion that contact the transporting belt, and are inclined in mutually different directions with respect to a movement direction of the transporting belt, wherein when a direction orthogonal to the movement direction and along the transporting belt is an orthogonal direction, a range, in which the first contact portion and the second contact portion are provided, in the orthogonal direction is wider than a width dimension of the transporting belt in the orthogonal direction, and an interval between the first contact portion and the second contact portion in the orthogonal direction increases in the movement direction.

Note that, “an interval increases in the orthogonal direction” means that the interval increases continuously in stages.

A recording device includes a recording unit capable of performing recording on a medium, a transporting belt capable of transporting the medium, a first contact portion contacting the transporting belt, and inclined in a first direction intersecting a movement direction of the transporting belt, and a second contact portion contacting the transporting belt, and inclined in a second direction intersecting the movement direction and different from the first direction, wherein a range, in which the first contact portion and the second contact portion are provided, in an orthogonal direction orthogonal to the movement direction is wider than a width dimension of the transporting belt in the orthogonal direction, and when a straight line parallel to the movement direction and passing through a center of the width dimension of the transporting belt in the orthogonal direction is a virtual line, a distance in the orthogonal direction between a downstream end, in the movement direction, of the first contact portion and the virtual line is greater than a distance in the orthogonal direction between an upstream end, in the movement direction, of the first contact portion and the virtual line, and a distance in the orthogonal direction between a downstream end, in the movement direction, of the second contact portion and the virtual line is greater than a distance in the orthogonal direction between an upstream end, in the movement direction, of the second contact portion and the virtual line.

A transport device includes a transporting belt capable of transporting an object, and a first contact portion and a second contact portion contacting the transporting belt, and inclined in mutually different directions with respect to a movement direction of the transporting belt, wherein when a direction orthogonal to the movement direction and along the transporting belt is an orthogonal direction, a range, in which the first contact portion and the second contact portion are provided, in the orthogonal direction is wider than a width dimension of the transporting belt in the orthogonal direction, and an interval between the first contact portion and the second contact portion in the orthogonal direction increases in the movement direction.
