A conveying device in which a circle formed of a trajectory drawn by a distal end of an engaging portion and an axial line of a driven shaft intersect each other when viewing in an axial direction of a drive shaft, and a slope of the driven shaft with respect to a horizontal direction is an angle not larger than an angle of repose of a developer when viewing in the axial direction of the drive shaft is provided.

主权项

1. A conveying device comprising:
a developer conveying path configured to convey a developer; a first conveyance member having a drive shaft provided with a drive transmission portion configured to transmit a driving force; and a second conveyance member having a driven shaft provided with a driving force receiving portion configured to receive a driving force from the drive transmission portion, wherein the drive transmission portion includes an engaging portion projecting from the drive shaft, the driving force receiving portion includes an engaged portion configured to receive the driving force by being engaged with the engaging portion in an interior of the developer conveying path, a circle of a trajectory drawn by a distal end of the engaging portion and an axial line of the driven shaft intersect each other when viewing in an axial direction of the drive shaft, and a slope of the driven shaft with respect to a horizontal direction is an angle not larger than an angle of repose of the developer when viewing in the axial direction of the drive shaft.
