Moving device assembly and image forming apparatus including the moving device assembly

摘要

A moving device assembly includes a moving device and a shield. The moving device is movable between a first position and a second position, to move a detector including a detection surface relative to an opposing member disposed opposite the detector. The shield shields the detection surface of the detector. As the moving device is at the first position, the detector is at a proximal position at which the detector is near the opposing member, and as the moving device is at the second position, the detector is at a shield position at which the detector is separated from the opposing member and the detection surface of the detector is shielded by the shield.

主权项

1. An image forming apparatus, comprising:
a belt; a detector to detect an image pattern on the belt; and a moving device to move the detector from a detection position to a first retracted position, and then to rotate the detector from the first retracted position to a second retracted position, wherein the detector detects the image pattern at the detection position, and the detector is retracted from a surface of the belt at the first retracted position.
