[0043] figure 1It is a schematic configuration diagram of the entire image forming apparatus 10 as an embodiment of the present invention viewed from the front.
[0044] refer to the figure 1 The image forming apparatus 10 of the first embodiment includes four photoreceptor drums 12a, 12b, 12c, and 12d, and the photoreceptor drums 12a to 12d are arranged in a row along the horizontal direction. On the respective right sides of the photoreceptor drums 12a to 12d, developing devices 14a, 14b, 14c, and 14d are provided. In addition, chargers 16 a , 16 b , 16 c , and 16 d are provided obliquely below each of the photoreceptor drums 12 a to 12 d on the left. Furthermore, cleaning units 18 a , 18 b , 18 c , and 18 d are provided on the respective left sides of the photoreceptor drums 12 a to 12 d.
[0045] Further, the image forming apparatus 10 includes an intermediate transfer belt 20 provided using a driving roller 22 and a driven roller 24 so as to be in contact with the uppe...

[0087] Since the image forming apparatus 10 of the second embodiment is the same as the first embodiment except that a part of the configuration of the developing device 14 is changed, redundant descriptions are omitted.
[0088] To briefly describe, in the second embodiment, after the new toner that has been preliminarily stirred into the developer and the developer that has stirred the waste toner that has passed through the developing step are brought into contact, the toner that has been stirred by the contact is brought into contact with each other. The mixed developer remains in the vicinity of the gap 142c. In this way, stirring of new toner can be promoted.
[0089] Specifically, as Figure 7 As shown, at a position slightly to the right from the position corresponding to the position where the slit 142c is provided, a part of the helical blade 150b of the first conveying member 150 is missing. In other words, in this portion, the pitch of the helical blades 150b bec...

[0093] Since the image forming apparatus 10 of the third embodiment is the same as the image forming apparatus 10 of the second embodiment except that a paddle is provided in the helical groove instead of a part of the helical blade 150b, repeated description is omitted.
[0094] like Figure 8 As shown, in the developing device 14 of the third embodiment, in the spiral groove slightly to the right from the position corresponding to the position where the slit 142c is provided, there is provided a spiral groove extending radially from the center of the spiral shaft 150a and parallel to the spiral shaft 150a. The ground-configured plate (first plate) 150c. In this way, similarly to the second embodiment, in the vicinity of the slit 142c, that is, the position of the first transport path 140a where the plate (paddle) 150c is placed is located on the upstream side in the direction indicated by the arrow A, so that the paddle can be moved by touching However, the mixed developer ...
