A powder supply device that includes a powder reservoir including a rotator having a rotation shaft, to store powder supplied from a powder container; and a powder amount detector. The powder amount detector includes a detected member disposed in the powder reservoir, a contact member attached to the rotation shaft, to contact the detected member to vibrate or move the detected member, a detector to detect vibration or a displacement of the detected member, and a detection result processor to detect the amount of the powder in the powder reservoir based on detection by the detector. The powder supply device further includes a controller to supply the powder from the powder container to the powder reservoir based on detection by the powder amount detector. The controller rotates the rotator in discharging the powder from the powder reservoir and supplying the powder from the powder container to the powder reservoir.

A toner container includes a cylindrical container body having a head with an opening in the head, a cap into which the head of the container body is inserted, and a sheet member attached inside the cap. The cylindrical container body rotates around a rotation axis extending in a longitudinal direction of the container body to transport toner contained in the container body toward the opening. The cap has a toner outlet through which the toner discharged from the opening is discharged outside the toner container. The sheet member includes a first elastic-deformation portion that is elastically deformable and located near the toner outlet, and a second elastic-deformation portion that is elastically deformable and located in the container body and near the opening.

A toner supplying device includes: a toner container that is tubular, includes a spiral groove at an outer circumferential face, a toner discharge opening at one end in a longitudinal direction, and a depression at the other end in the longitudinal direction, and is rotationally driven to convey toner contained in the toner container along the spiral groove in the longitudinal direction to discharge the toner from the toner discharge opening; a rotational driving unit that engages with the one end of the toner container to rotationally drive the toner container to cause the toner container to discharge the toner; and a projection provided at an interior portion at which the toner container is installed, and having an inclination in which a projection amount increases toward downstream in a rotational direction of the toner container. The projection is formed to fall in the depression of the toner container.

A drawing-up magnetic pole and a control magnetic pole of a magnetic field generator that is disposed in a developer carrier are adjacent to each other and a prevention member is provided that secures, between the prevention member and an upper end of a side wall of a developer supply conveyance path, a supply path through which a developer in the developer supply conveyance path passes toward the developer carrier at least over the entire width of a developing area and that prevents a control retained developer, which is prevented by a developer control member from passing through a control gap, from moving toward the surface of the developer carrier along lines of the control magnetic force. The peak of the magnetic flux density of the drawing-up magnetic pole in the normal direction is disposed below the lower end of the supply path.

A developing device includes a developer bearer and a stirring conveyor. The stirring conveyor includes a first conveying chamber including a conveying member and a second conveying chamber to receive the developer from an end of the first conveying chamber. The conveying member includes a forward winding blade, a reverse winding blade, and a shaft portion on which the forward winding blade and the reverse winding blade are mounted with a space therebetween. A circumferential phase of the conveying member at a start position of the reverse winding blade is different from a circumferential phase of the conveying member at an end position of the forward winding blade. The conveying member is disposed in the first conveying chamber so that the space is opposite a portion at which the second conveying chamber receives the developer from the end of the first conveying chamber.

A developing device includes a developer bearer, a casing including a bearing support and a developer container, a developer conveyor to transport, by rotation, developer in the developer container, a bearing to fit in the bearing support and support a shaft of the developer conveyor rotatably on the casing, and a heat conductor made of a material higher in thermal conductivity than the bearing support and including a heat absorbing portion to contact the bearing and absorb heat from the bearing and a heat dissipating portion to release the heat. The bearing includes an outer ring secured to the bearing support, an inner ring to rotate together with the shaft of the developer conveyor, and a ball disposed between the outer ring and the inner ring. The heat conductor is disposed to contact the outer ring of the bearing and contactless with the inner ring and the ball.
摘要:
A developing device includes a developer bearer to carry, by rotation, developer to a developing range, a casing including a developer container to contain the developer and housing the developer bearer, a gap retainer adjacent to the developer container and downstream from the developing range in a rotation direction of the developer bearer, an opposing wall opposing an end face of the gap retainer in an axial direction of the developer bearer, a first seal disposed between the end face of the gap retainer and the opposing wall, and a contact portion disposed adjacent to an end portion of the gap retainer in the axial direction of the developer bearer. The gap retainer secures a predetermined gap between the developer bearer and the gap retainer. The contact portion contacts, via a second seal, the gap retainer in a direction intersecting the axial direction of the developer bearer.
