Problems solved by technology

Therefore, in a state of high fluidity, the amount actually discharged is smaller than the amount that should be discharged, and conversely, in a state of low fluidity, the amount actually discharged is larger than the amount that should be discharged. Keep the amount of developer in the developer container within the proper range
[0019] Furthermore, when the amount of developer in the developer container is large, the amount of developer to be stirred and conveyed increases until the excess amount of developer is discharged, so the stirring performance and the developing performance are not constant, and there is a possibility that stable development cannot be performed. question

Abstract

In the development apparatus and the image forming apparatus of the present invention, a first regulation member for regulating an upper surface of developer is provided on an adjacent and downstream portion with respect to a developer outlet in terms of travel direction of developer. The amount of developer passing below the first regulation member is thus adjusted. On this account, the present invention provides a development apparatus and an image forming apparatus capable of maintaining appropriate amount of developer in the developer container by reducing influence of developer fluidity or the like. With stable stirring performance and development performance, the development apparatus and the image forming apparatus of the present invention perform secure development, including the time period until the extra developer overflows and is discharged.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a developing device mounted on an electrophotographic image forming device such as a copying machine, a printer, a facsimile machine, etc., and specifically relates to a developing device for making a photoreceptor (image) using a two-component developer composed of toner and a carrier. A developing device for developing an electrostatic latent image on the surface of a carrier). Background technique [0002] In electrophotographic image forming apparatuses, the visualization (development) of an electrostatic latent image on the surface of a photoreceptor (image carrier) is often performed using a two-component developer (hereinafter sometimes simply referred to as a developer) consisting of a carrier and a toner. the developing device. In a developing device using such a two-component developer, the toner is gradually consumed by the developing operation, but the carrier is not consumed and remains in the device. The...
