Patent number: 10471748Abstract: There is provided an inkjet recording apparatus includes a conveyance unit, a head unit, an attachment member, a fixing member, and a support member. The conveyance unit conveys a recording medium on an outer circumferential curved surface of a cylindrical conveyance drum rotating around a cylindrical shaft. The relative position of the attachment member to the cylindrical shaft is fixed. The head unit has a nozzle ejecting ink and is attached to the attachment member such that the outer circumferential curved surface faces an opening of the nozzle across a predetermined relative distance. The fixing member fixes a fixing portion in the head unit to the attachment member. The fixing portion is between a center of gravity of the head unit and the cylindrical shaft. The support member supports the fixed head unit by applying force which disturbs rotation of the head unit.Type: GrantFiled: May 22, 2017Date of Patent: November 12, 2019Assignee: KONICA MINOLTA, INC.Inventor: Takeshi Urakami
