Abstract

An automatic clean device includes a base body, a transmission element, a cleaning element and an elastic member. Wherein the transmission element and the cleaning element are disposed on the base body, the elastic member has an end connected to the cleaning element. With the cooperation of the transmission element and the elastic member, the cleaning element is able to oscillate reciprocatedly and alternately touch a photoconductor of the laser-type image/data recording device. By this way, the cleaning element is able to clean the toner that is remained on the surface of the photoconductor.
