CLEANING DEVICE AND WET-TYPE IMAGE FORMATION DEVICE

摘要

A cleaning device (6) comprises: a cleaning blade (15); a housing (11) which forms a collection tank for collecting liquid developer in the cleaning device (6); a seal member (16); and a positioning member (14) which is connected to the seal member (16) and which adjusts the position of the seal member (16). When a photoreceptor (1) rotates, a liquid build-up (22) is created at the end part of the cleaning blade (15). The liquid developer in the liquid build-up (22) drips, due to gravity, into the casing (11) acting as a collection tank, which is provided below. When the photoreceptor (1) has stopped, the position of the seal member (16) is adjusted by the positioning member (14) such that the seal member (16) comes into contact with the photoreceptor (1).
