摘要: A developer conveying mechanism includes a pipe-shaped conveying path that conveys developer and includes a discharge port formed in part of a side surface thereof, a shutter that is slidably attached to the pipe-shaped conveying path and that is selectively arranged at a closing position overlapping with the discharge port and an opening position retreated from the discharge port, a seal member that is fixed to a seal affixing surface of the shutter, and a biasing member that biases the shutter toward the closing position. The shutter includes the seal affixing surface, which is a flat surface, and a pair of engagement portions that are opposite to each other across the seal affixing surface in a circumferential direction of the pipe-shaped conveying path. The pipe-shaped conveying path includes a pair of guide ribs with which the pair of engagement portions slidably engage.

摘要: A toner supply unit for use in an image forming apparatus includes a bottle gear provided on a toner bottle to receive a driving force when the toner bottle is mounted to a mounting portion, and a discharging mechanism provided on the toner bottle to discharge a predetermined amount of toner from a discharging portion with the rotation of the bottle gear. A controller controls the driving force inputted to the bottle gear in a period from input of the driving force to the bottle gear to a predetermined number of rotations of the toner bottle to be smaller than the driving force inputted to the bottle gear at a time when the discharging mechanism first discharges the predetermined amount of toner from the discharging portion after the predetermined number of rotations.

摘要: A toner supply unit for use in an image forming apparatus includes a main body, a driving device supplying a driving force, a controller to control the driving force, and a toner bottle containing toner, dismountably mounted to a mounting portion, and including a discharging portion for discharging the toner. A movable shutter member on the toner bottle moves between a closing position and an opening position for opening the discharging portion, and a bottle gear is provided on the toner bottle and receives the driving force. The driving force supplied to the bottle gear when a discharging mechanism first discharges the predetermined amount of toner from the discharging portion after the shutter member moves to the opening position is smaller than the driving force supplied to the bottle gear during moving of the shutter member to the opening position.

摘要: A toner case includes a case main body, a transmission member, and a cover. The case main body contains a toner and rotates around a rotation axis line. The transmission member is attached to an outer circumferential face of the case main body and configured to transmit rotation driving force to the case main body. The cover is configured to cover an opening part arranged at the case main body. The case main body includes a rotation restricting part and a movement restricting part. The rotation restricting part is configured to restrict a rotation of the transmission member with respect to the case main body. The movement restricting part is configured to restrict a movement in a direction of the rotation axis line of the transmission member with respect to the case main body. The transmission member is positioned between the cover and the movement restricting part.

摘要: A developer storage container (30) includes: a container body (31); a lid (32); a stirring member (34); and an input gear (36). The container body includes: a bottom portion (310); an opening (31 P) extending in a longitudinal direction thereof; a first sidewall (31R) and a second sidewall (31L); and a storage space (30S) for storing developer therein. The second sidewall includes a bearing portion (312) disposed to face the storage space. The first sidewall includes: a shaft hole (313S) communicating between an outside of the container body and the storage space; and a support portion (313T) supporting a distal end of a coupling (342) of the stirring member from therebelow to prevent the stirring member from falling onto the bottom portion, in a state in which a distal pivot portion (341) of the stirring member is inserted into the bearing portion, and the coupling is disposed facing the shaft hole.
