1. A developer collecting device, comprising:
a housing provided with an opening opposed to a developer carrying member that carries and transports developer; a collecting member provided along an edge of the opening at a downstream end of the opening in a transporting direction in which the developer carrying member transports the developer; a sealing member provided along an edge of the opening at an upstream end of the opening in the transporting direction; a suction path that extends along a longitudinal direction of the housing, the suction path being connected to a suction unit for sucking the developer removed from the developer carrying member into the housing; a developer transporting unit provided between the opening and the suction path, the developer transporting unit transporting the developer collected in the housing; a filter member disposed between the developer transporting unit and the suction path; and a hood member disposed between the opening and the filter member and separated from the filter member, wherein the developer transporting unit includes a rotating shaft and a helical blade attached to the rotating shaft and a sliding portion that slides along the blade that rotates is provided at an upper portion of the filter member, and wherein the filter member vibrates when the sliding portion is pushed upward and dropped by the blade that rotates.
