Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, in conventional image forming apparatuses, when miniaturization and space saving of the apparatus are given priority, it is not desirable to provide both the toner container and the waste toner container in the image forming apparatus.
In addition, the toner container, which is integrally formed with a storage unit that can store unused toner and a storage unit that can store waste toner, contributes to the miniaturization and space saving of the device, but it may be installed inside. The problem that the supporting structure of each rotating member for conveying unused toner or waste toner becomes complicated

Embodiment Construction

[0041] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings as appropriate. The embodiment described below is merely an example for actualizing the present invention, and is not intended to limit the technical scope of the present invention. In addition, for the convenience of description, in the installation state where the image forming apparatus 10 can be used ( figure 1 In the state shown), the vertical direction is defined as the up-down direction D1. In addition, put the set state plug-in figure 1 The surface of the paper feeding cassette 22 shown as the front defines the front-rear direction D2. In addition, the left-right direction D3 is defined with the front of the image forming apparatus 10 in the installation state as a reference.

[0042] The image forming apparatus 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention has at least a printing function. The image forming apparatus 10 is, for example, a tandem color ...

Abstract

The invention provides a toner container having two receiving parts capable of receiving a toner and an image forming apparatus. The toner container comprises a long-strip container main body; a first toner receiving part arranged at one side of the container main body in the long side direction; a first rotary component rotatably arranged inside the first toner receiving part; a second toner receiving part arranged at the other side of the container main body in the long side direction; and a second rotary component rotatably arranged inside the second toner receiving part. The container main body has a flat-shaped cover component covering the openings of a first casing of the first toner receiving part and a second casing of the second toner receiving part, respectively. An inside face of the cover component is provided with a first bearing part and a second bearing part, wherein the first bearing part can rotatably support a first end, located at a cover-component-side of a first rotary shaft, of the first rotary component, and the second bearing part can rotatably support a second end, located at a cover-component-side of a second rotary shaft, of the second rotary component.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a toner container and an image forming apparatus having two storage portions capable of storing toner. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, an image forming apparatus capable of forming an image on paper using a developer containing toner is known. Such an image forming apparatus is provided with a toner container for replenishing toner to an internal developing device. The toner container is detachably provided on the main body of the image forming apparatus. When the toner in the toner container is consumed and the toner container becomes empty, the toner container is removed from the image forming apparatus and replaced with a new toner container containing unused toner. [0003] In addition, conventional image forming apparatuses are provided with a cleaning device for removing used toner (waste toner) remaining on the photosensitive drum after transfer, and for storing the waste toner removed by the clea...
