Abstract

The invention provides a developer conveying mechanism, and a developing device and an image forming apparatus therewith. The developer conveying mechanism has a pipe-shaped conveyance passage, a shutter, a sealing member, and a biasing member. Through the pipe-shaped conveyance passage, developer is conveyed, and a discharge port is formed in a part of a side surface of the pipe-shaped conveyancepassage. The shutter is arranged to be slidable along the outer circumferential surface of the pipe-shaped conveyance passage, and opens and closes the discharge port. The sealing member is fixed tothe inner circumferential surface of the shutter. The biasing member biases the shutter in a direction in which the discharge port is closed. The sealing member has a frame-shaped contact portion making contact with the pipe-shaped conveyance passage, and a non-contact portion in the contact portion.

Description

technical field

[0001] The present invention relates to a developer conveying mechanism used in image forming apparatuses such as copiers, printers, facsimile machines, and multifunction machines thereof, and more particularly to a mechanism for opening and closing a developer discharge port formed in a passage for conveying developer . Background technique

[0002] Conventionally, among the developing devices of the two-component developing system, there has been proposed a developing device which replenishes a developer containing a carrier into a developing container in order to prevent a decrease in the charging application performance of the carrier, and is provided with a developer for discharging the excess developer. Discharge section. In this developing device, it is necessary to prevent damage caused by friction between components such as the developing roller during initial driving, and therefore the developing roller is previously filled with developer in an amo...
