A gap is provided between the recessed portion and the projecting portion, and the shutter moving portion is swingable with respect to the receiving-port shutter. Even if the shutter moving portion vibrates by following the displacement of a toner conveying portion, the vibration is not transmitted to the receiving-port shutter because the shutter moving portion absorbs the vibration, preventing the receiving-port shutter from flapping. Thus, the leakage of developer that may occur particularly in a case of package shipment of the developing device and an image forming apparatus is suppressed. | 2015-09-10 |
20150253693 | DEVELOPING DEVICE AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS INCLUDING THE SAME - A developing device includes a housing, a stirring member, a developing unit body, a driving device, a detecting device, and a control device. The housing accommodates developer supplied from a supply means and including toner and carrier. The stirring member rotates in the housing to stir the developer. The developing unit body rotates in the housing to convey the developer toward an image carrying member from the stirring member and attaches the toner to the image carrying member. The driving device rotationally drive at least one of the stirring member and the developing unit body. The detecting device detects the torque of the driving device. The control device performs a recovery process of controlling the supply means to supply at least one of the carrier and the developer to an interior of the housing when a detection result of the detecting device has a value lower than a threshold value. | 2015-09-10 |
20150253694 | DEVELOPING UNIT - A developing unit includes a developer carrier configured to hold a developer including a toner and a carrier on a developer carrying area and convey the developer, a first chamber configured to collect the developer from the developer carrier, and a second chamber configured to include a first communication portion and a second communication portion which communicate with the first chamber and to circulate the developer between the first chamber and the second chamber via the first communication portion and the second communication portion. The developer carrying area of the developer carrier extends from a position located downstream in the developer conveyance direction of a first conveying member further than the first communication portion up to a position facing the second communication portion. | 2015-09-10 |
