A nozzle head cleaning module including a base housing (110) including a main slope (110), a main carrier (200) received in the base housing (100), a sub-carrier (300) received in the main carrier (200) and has a cover (320) protruding upwardly, and an interference structure (120) is provided. A set of one or more horizontal planes (111) is formed on the main slope (110). A set of one or more main slide pins (210) contacting with the main slope (110) protrudes from the main carrier (200), the main carrier (200) includes a sub-slope (220), and the main carrier (200) is moved along the main slope (110). When resting on the main slope (110), the main slide pin (210) contacts with the main slope (110) by multiple contact points. When resting on the horizontal plane (111), the main slide pin (210) contacts with the horizontal plane (111) by multiple contact points. The horizontal plane (111) support main slide pin (210) to maintain the cover (320) in a raised position when the main slide pin (210) is located thereon.
