PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming device capable of reusing a toner cartridge including a toner end detection unit and realizing the improvement of the stability of the toner end detection unit and the assemblability of a reflector unit and the reduction of cost. SOLUTION: A reflector 53 consisting of a plate member is attachably/ detachably attached to a reflector case 51. An aluminum plate whose one surface is brightening-processed as a reflection surface 53a is used as the reflector 53. Thus, even if the reflector 53 becomes a defective, it is easily exchanged to the new reflector 53. Besides, possibility that the exchanged reflector 53 becomes the defective again because the reflection surface of the new reflector 53 is distorted or positionally deviated at the exchanging time is reduced to be low. Furthermore, the separating work of raw material or the detaching work of the reflector 53 in the case of separating the component members of the reflector unit 50 by the same raw material and utilizing them as recycle sources or recycling and using the case 51 of the unit 50 is comparatively easily performed. |
