IMAGE FORMING DEVICE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To surely remove residue on the surface of a photoreceptor while restraining the film shaving of the photoreceptor and preventing the photoreceptor from getting large in an electrophotographic image forming device. SOLUTION: This device is provided with the photoreceptor 15, and equipped with a photoreceptor unit 10 attachably/detachably attached to an image forming device main body and a developing unit 20 provided with a developing sleeve 25 and attachably/detachably attached to the image forming device main body. The photoreceptor unit 10 is provided with a shutter 19 with which the part of the photoreceptor 15 opposed to the developing sleeve 25 is covered when the developing unit 20 is detached from the image forming device main body. Then, it is provided with a scraper 100 which does not abut on the photoreceptor 15 when the shutter 19 is opened and which abuts on the photoreceptor 15 and cleans the surface of the photoreceptor with the rotation of the photoreceptor 15 when the photoreceptor 15 is covered with the shutter 19.
