Abstract:
A powder conveying device and an image forming apparatus having the same are disclosed. The powder conveying device to convey powder such as toner, includes a conveying plate to carry powder thereon, a vibration generating device to vibrate the conveying plate, and a plurality of conveying protrusions provided on a surface of the conveying plate to convey the powder loaded on the conveying plate. Each of the conveying protrusions has an incline of an upstream side and an incline of a downstream side on a powder conveying path. The incline of the upstream side is smaller than the incline of the downstream side. The powder conveying device can realized with smaller size and/or with lower cost.
