PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a powder conveyance mechanism that can reduce a dead space in a conveyance path of powder compared with the conventional one.SOLUTION: A developer conveyance mechanism 200 includes a tabular conveying member 10b that is arranged below powder and conveys the powder, and a vibrating body 13 that vibrates while providing the reciprocating acceleration in an orthogonal direction F1 orthogonal to a powder conveyance surface of the conveying member 10b. At least one part of the conveying member 10b is fixed, and a progressive wave, which is emitted from the vibrating body 13, is generated in the conveying member 10b, and thereby the powder is conveyed in a direction of progression of the progressive wave. |
