Abstract: A developer conveying apparatus for conveying a developer that develops an electrostatic latent image includes a rotation unit which rotates around rotation shaft pallalel to a developer conveying direction, a first developer conveying portion which is provided in the rotation unit and which conveys the developer in an axial direction of the rotation shaft, and a second developer conveying portion which is provided in the rotation unit at a position where a distance from the rotation shaft is different from that of the first developer conveying portion, and which conveys the developer in a direction opposite to that of the first developer conveying portion.

Abstract: A conveying unit includes a rotary shaft member and a sheet member. The conveying unit is disposed so as to be rotatable with respect to a developer housing container. The conveying unit replenishes developer in a radius direction while stirring the developer in a direction of a rotary shaft by rotation. The conveying unit includes a plurality of portions that adjusts stirring performance of the developer in the direction of a rotary shaft and has different strength, as reinforcing portions that adjust a bend of the sheet member.

Abstract: A developer conveying apparatus for conveying a developer that develops an electrostatic latent image includes a rotation unit which rotates around a rotation shaft extending in an axial direction and parallel to a developer conveying direction, a first developer conveying portion which is provided in the rotation unit and which has an opening configured to convey the developer in a first axial direction of the rotation shaft, and a second developer conveying portion which is provided in the rotation unit and which has an opening configured to convey the developer in a second axial direction opposite to the first axial direction. A distance from the rotation shaft to the opening in the first developer conveying portion is different than a distance from the rotation shaft to the opening in the second developer conveying portion.
