Problems solved by technology

[0006] However, in conventional printers, depending on the direction in which the plurality of fins of the prevention plate come into contact with the conveying screw, the toner on the shaft of the conveying screw sometimes enters between the shaft and the fins and is fixed on the shaft. The problem that the decrease in the conveyance ability of the toner cannot be sufficiently prevented yet

Embodiment approach 2

[0102] In addition, in the above-mentioned embodiment, the case where the plurality of toner removing fins 125B are formed in a flat plate shape in the toner removing portion 125 has been described, but the present invention is not limited thereto. Figure 13 As shown in (A), in the toner removing portion 133, the front ends of the plurality of toner removing fins 133A may be curved in an arc shape, and the back surface of the front ends may be pressed against the toner transport body 107. on the surface of the shaft portion 107A. and, if Figure 13 As shown in (B), in the toner removing portion 134 , the front ends of the plurality of toner removing fins 134A may be bent at a predetermined angle, and the front ends may be pressed against the shaft portion 107A of the toner conveying body 107 . on the surface.

[0103] In the present invention, with these configurations, as in the case of the above-mentioned embodiment, the tip ends of the plurality of toner removing fins 13...

Abstract

A developer conveying device includes a rotatable developer conveying body including a shaft portion and a blade portion provided on the shaft portion for conveying a developer. The developer conveying device further includes a developer removing portion having a developer removing fin that contacts the developer conveying body in a counter direction with respect to a rotating direction of the developer conveying body.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a developer conveying device and an image forming device, and is preferably applied to, for example, an electrophotographic printer (hereinafter also referred to as a printer). Background technique [0002] Existing printers are provided with an elongated rectangular recovery container for recovering when an image formed on the surface of an image carrier by toner is transferred to the surface of transfer paper via an intermediate transfer belt. And the toner remaining on the surface of the image carrier is stored. [0003] In addition, the printer is provided with a transport screw in the recovery container so as to be rotatable parallel to the longitudinal direction of the recovery container, and the toner taken into the recovery container is transported by the rotation of the transport screw so that it spreads over the recovery container. inside the container. [0004] Moreover, in the printer, when the toner is fi...
