Abstract

The invention provides a toner container and an image forming device. The toner container has a container main body, a rotating part, a transmission part and a moving part. The transmission member is arranged outside the container body to transmit the rotation to the rotating member. The moving part is arranged outside the main body of the container and installed on the transmission part. The transmission member moves along the rotation axis direction between a first position and a second position outside the first position in the rotation axis direction. The moving member moves in the direction of the rotation axis between a first movement position and a second movement position outside the first movement position in the direction of the rotation axis. As the moving member moves from the second moving position to the first moving position, the transmission member moves from the second position to the first position. As the moving member moves from the first moving position to the second moving position, the transmission member moves from the first position to the second position. The present invention can move the transmission member in the direction of the rotation axis while suppressing damage to the transmission member.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a toner container and an image forming apparatus having the same. Background technique [0002] Image forming apparatuses such as printers, copiers, facsimile machines, and all-in-one machines have a toner container for supplying toner (developer) to a developing device. For example, there is a toner container with: a container body, which accommodates toner; a rotating member, which is accommodated in the container body, and rotates around a rotation axis; a transmission member, which is arranged outside the container body, rotates Passed to the rotating part. In such a toner container, by transmitting rotation from the transmission member to the rotating member, the rotating member can agitate and transport the toner in the container main body. [0003] In the toner container described above, the transmission member may be moved to a position capable of receiving an external drive source by protruding the transmissi...
