PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To suppress a support part from being bent toward a light transmission part in a case where a tip portion of a cleaning member is pressed by abutting to a wall part.SOLUTION: A cleaning device 140 includes: a cleaning member 150 including a cleaning part 156 for cleaning a long light transmission part 112 transmitting light L, and a support part 152 that moves in a longitudinal direction of the light transmission part 112 while supporting the cleaning part 156; and a wall part 180 that is disposed on one end side of the light transmission part 112 in its longitudinal direction, and has a surface 184 formed along a direction crossing the longitudinal direction of the light transmission part 112. Further, the cleaning member 150 and wall part 180 are configured so that, in a case where the cleaning member 150 is pressed by abutting to the wall part 180, the support part 152 is bent so as to form a convex surface in a direction opposite to the light transmission part 112 side.
