To provide an image recording device that can suppress variation in distances between a recording head and a medium to be recorded.SOLUTION: An image recording device 30 comprises: a conveying belt 37 extending in a conveying direction 8A and having a conveying surface 37C for conveying a sheet S; a driving part that turns the conveying belt 37 along the conveying direction 8A; a support part 46, arranged in parallel with the conveying belt 37 in an orthogonal direction horizontal to the conveying surface 37C and orthogonal to the conveying direction 8A, in which a space between a pair of walls 53L and 53R extending in the conveying direction 8A opens to a direction which the conveying surface 37C points; pumps 48A and 48B that generate in the space between the pair of walls 53L and 53R air currents flowing along the opposite direction of the conveying direction 8A; and a recording head 38 that records an image on the sheet S supported on the conveying belt 37 and the support part 46.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】記録ヘッドと、被記録媒体との間の距離のばらつきを抑制可能な画像記録装置を提供すること。【解決手段】画像記録装置３０は、搬送向き８Ａに延び、シートＳを搬送するための搬送面３７Ｃを有する搬送ベルト３７と、搬送ベルト３７を搬送向き８Ａに沿って回動する駆動部と、搬送面３７Ｃと水平で且つ搬送向き８Ａと直交する直交方向に搬送ベルト３７と並んでおり、搬送向き８Ａに延びる一対の壁５３Ｌ，５３Ｒの間が、搬送面３７Ｃが向く方向へ開口した支持部４６と、上記一対の壁５３Ｌ，５３Ｒの間の空間に、搬送向き８Ａと逆向きに沿って流れる気流を発生させるポンプ４８Ａ，４８Ｂと、搬送ベルト３７及び支持部４６に支持されたシートＳに画像を記録する記録ヘッド３８と、を備える。【選択図】図１
