摘要:
A liquid-level detection device detects the liquid level in the developer storing container for storing liquid developer, and includes a first water wheel, a first rotation detection mechanism, and first liquid-level detection device. The first water wheel is disposed in the interior of the developer storing container, and is configured to be rotated by liquid developer to be supplied to the developer storing container. The first rotation detection mechanism is configured to detect a rotation state of the first water wheel. The first liquid-level detection device detects the liquid level of liquid developer based on a result detected by the rotation detection mechanism.

A concentration detection device includes a tubular member, a light-emitting member, and a light-receiving member. The tubular member includes a liquid developer inlet that inlets liquid developer, and a liquid developer outlet that discharges the liquid developer. A liquid channel through which liquid developer passes is formed in the interior of the tubular member. The light-emitting member is a member that is disposed on one end of the tubular member. The light-receiving member receives light emitted from the light-emitting member that detects concentration of the liquid developer that is inlet into the interior of the tubular member.

A cleaning unit includes a traveling belt and a belt cleaning member. The traveling belt is formed in a loop and travels via the vicinity of the contact point between an image support member and an image support member cleaning member, and comes into contact with liquid developer stored in the cleaning unit. The belt cleaning member is in contact with the traveling belt and arranged in a position downstream of the contact point between the traveling belt and liquid developer stored in the cleaning unit, and upstream of the point at which the traveling belt passes the vicinity of the contact point between the image support member and the image support member cleaning member in the traveling direction of the traveling belt. The belt cleaning member is configured to remove liquid developer attached to the traveling belt.

A wet image forming device includes a plurality of developer support members that support a developer including a toner and a carrier functioning as a toner transfer agent, a plurality of image support members, the outer peripheral surfaces of each contacting the plurality of developer support members, and which support an electrostatic latent image developed with toner included in the developer supported by the plurality of developer support members, an intermediate transfer member to which an image developed on each of the plurality of image support members is transferred, a transfer roller that is pressed into contact with each of the plurality of image support members through the intermediate transfer member, and one or more carrier removing members that remove the carrier and arranged between a first image support member that is one of the plurality of image support members and a second image support member that is located adjacent to the first image support member.
摘要:
An image forming apparatus has a conveying element for conveying a sheet, an image forming section for forming an image on the sheet with liquid developer, and a fixing device including a rubbing mechanism for rubbing the image on the sheet. A fixing device has a rubbing mechanism for rubbing an image which is formed with liquid developer.
