Developer recovery device and image forming device

A developer recovery device comprising:

• a casing at which an aperture portion is formed, the aperture portion being disposed to oppose a developer-bearing member that retains and conveys a developer while turning, and the aperture portion being long in a direction orthogonal to a conveyance direction of the developer-bearing member;
• a recovery member that is disposed along an edge portion of the aperture portion so as to touch against the developer bearing member, the edge portion being at a downstream side of the aperture portion in the conveyance direction, and the recovery member separating the developer from an outer peripheral face of the developer-bearing member and recovering the developer into the casing;
• a sealing member that is disposed along an edge portion at a conveyance direction upstream side of the aperture portion so as to touch the developer-bearing member and that seals a gap between the casing and the developer-bearing member;
• a moving section that moves the recovery member and the sealing member between a position of being touched against the developer-bearing member and a position of being apart from the developer-bearing member;
• a suction section that sucks the developer separated from the developer-bearing member into the casing;
• and
• a filter that is long in the length direction of the aperture portion and that is disposed in the casing between the aperture portion and the suction section with an inclination such that a lower portion of the filter is further away from the aperture portion than an upper portion of the filter.
