Abstract

An image forming device that includes a plurality of exposure components and a conductive covering member is provided. Pluralities of light emitting elements are disposed on substrates at the plurality of exposure components. The exposure components expose a plurality of exposure objects, respectively. The conductive covering member includes at least a floor plate that covers the exposure components from below. Wiring is connected to the substrates being disposed along the floor plate. Earthing portions of the substrates are electrically connected to the floor plate. The covering member includes a side plate that covers an axial direction side of the exposure objects and is joined to the floor plate. The earthing portions of the substrates are electrically connected to the side plate via conductive members.

Claims (11)

1. An image forming device comprising:

a plurality of exposure components at which pluralities of light emitting elements are disposed on substrates, the exposure components exposing a plurality of exposure objects, respectively; and

a conductive covering member including at least a floor plate that covers the exposure components from below, wiring connected to the substrates being disposed along the floor plate, and earthing portions of the substrates being electrically connected to the floor plate.

2. The image forming device of claim 1 , wherein

the covering member includes a side plate that covers an axial direction side of the exposure objects and is joined to the floor plate, and

the earthing portions of the substrates are electrically connected to the side plate via conductive members.

3. The image forming device of claim 2 , wherein

the conductive members are electrically connected to rotation axles of the exposure objects.

4. The image forming device of claim 3 , wherein

the covering member includes a ceiling plate that covers the exposure objects from above and is joined to the side plate, and
