<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a developer conveyance device, cleaner, belt unit, and image forming apparatus that are able to restrict degradation in the suction performance of suction trapping means used to trap suspending developer. <P>SOLUTION: Toner T accumulating in a trapping chamber 152 is guided toward a first opening 160 so as to slide over a guiding surface 162 and is moved to a moving chamber 158 through the first opening 160. The toner T that has moved to the moving chamber 158 is moved to a conveying chamber 150 through the moving chamber 158 by the rotation of the moving member 154 in the direction of arrow J. Accordingly, degradation in the trapping performance of a suction trapping member 142, caused by accumulation of the toner T in the trapping chamber 152, is restricted. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
