CLEANING DEVICE, CHARGING DEVICE, AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS

摘要

A cleaning device includes a cleaning member provided at a first side of a curved grid electrode plate that is curved in a short-side direction, the cleaning member being pressed against the curved grid electrode plate to clean the first side thereof; a receiving member provided at a second side of the curved grid electrode plate, the receiving member receiving a pressing load applied by the cleaning member; and a moving unit that moves the cleaning member and the receiving member in a long-side direction of the curved grid electrode plate. The cleaning member and the receiving member are formed such that a pressure based on the load that is applied to an end portion of the curved grid electrode plate in the short-side direction is higher than that applied to a central portion of the curved grid electrode plate in the short-side direction.
