Liquid ejecting apparatus

A detection plate portion detects an object that can come into contact with a liquid ejecting unit, which ejects a liquid onto a medium, in accordance with relative movement between the liquid ejecting unit and the medium, is formed in a plate shape, and undergoes strain upon contact with the medium...

Zusammenfassung:A detection plate portion detects an object that can come into contact with a liquid ejecting unit, which ejects a liquid onto a medium, in accordance with relative movement between the liquid ejecting unit and the medium, is formed in a plate shape, and undergoes strain upon contact with the medium. An electric signal corresponding to the strain of the detection plate portion is obtained from a piezoelectric film sensor provided on a medium-side plate surface of the detection plate portion facing the medium. A sensor cover is provided apart from the detection plate portion, and the sensor cover covers the piezoelectric film sensor not to come into contact with the medium-side plate surface.
