摘要:
An opening, from which a cleaning member is inserted from the outer side of a main body of the image forming apparatus according to the present invention, is provided further toward the front side than an end portion of a front side of a holding member. The opening guides movement of the cleaning member in the direction of insertion as the inserted cleaning member moves toward the downstream side in the direction of insertion, so that downstream-side end portions of engaging portions in the insertion direction engage upstream-side end portions of protruding portions formed on the holding member in the direction of insertion.

An image forming apparatus capable of controlling an image forming position with high accuracy. The image forming apparatus has a plurality of image forming sections each including a photosensitive drum and a laser scanner. The laser scanner exposes the photosensitive drum to form an electrostatic latent image thereon. The image forming section develops the electrostatic latent image formed on the photosensitive drum to form a toner image, and the toner image is transferred onto an intermediate transfer belt. A thermistor in the laser scanner detects the internal temperature of the laser scanner. The image forming apparatus controls the image forming sections to form detection patterns on the intermediate transfer belt. An image forming position is corrected based on the temperature detected by the thermistor and a result of measurement of the detection patterns.

During an operation of assembling a cover on an optical box, a cover-side engaging portion comes into contact with a side wall of the optical box and hence is deformed.An optical scanning apparatus is configured so that a distal end portion of a protrusion and an apex portion of a side wall of an optical box pass each other prior to a distal end portion of a cover-side engaging portion.

A light scanning apparatus, including: a light source configured to emit a light beam; a beam splitter configured to split the light beam into a first and a second light beams; a rotary polygon mirror configured to deflect the first light beam to scan a photosensitive member; a motor configured to rotate the rotary polygon mirror; a first lens configured to guide the first light beam to the photosensitive member; an optical sensor configured to receive the second light beam; a second lens configured to condense the second light beam on the optical sensor; and an optical box has a wall standing from a bottom surface between a region in which the rotary polygon mirror and the motor are disposed and a region in which the second lens is disposed, and a height of the wall from the bottom surface is higher than a height of the rotary polygon mirror.
