<p>A developing device (20) of this disclosure has: a housing (210), a developing roller (21), a developer conveying path (220), a partition board (22), a second communication path (224), a developer receiving port (25), a first conveying member (23), a second conveying member (24), and a conveyance capability inhibition part (26). A toner is cyclically conveyed in a first conveying path (221) and a second conveying path (222). A first stirring screw is disposed in the first conveying path and driven into ration around a first rotation axis for toner conveyance. Formed downstream of the first stirring screw by the conveyance capability inhibition part is a toner accumulation part (27), and the amount of toner refilled from a toner refill port is adjusted. Where an aperture area of the first communication path is A1 and a circular area formed by an outer circumferential edge of the first stirring screw in section orthogonal to the first rotation axis is A2, relationship 0.5×A2<A1<1.2×A2 is satisfied.</p> |
