IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18335693 titled 'IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an image forming apparatus that forms an image on a sheet of paper. The apparatus includes a frame with two side plates, an intake unit that draws air into the frame, an exhaust unit that discharges air outside the frame, and a cooling object unit that cools the air inside the frame.
- The image forming apparatus includes a frame with two side plates.
- An intake unit is positioned on the outer side of the frame and draws air into the frame.
- An exhaust unit is located between the two side plates and releases air from the frame.
- A cooling object unit is placed in the path of the air drawn into the frame by the intake unit and moves towards the exhaust unit.
Potential applications of this technology:
- This image forming apparatus can be used in various printing devices such as printers, copiers, and multifunction devices.
- It can be utilized in industrial printing processes where cooling is required to maintain optimal performance.
Problems solved by this technology:
- The cooling object unit helps to prevent overheating of the image forming apparatus, ensuring its longevity and reliability.
- The intake and exhaust units help to maintain a proper airflow within the frame, preventing the accumulation of heat and maintaining a stable operating temperature.
Benefits of this technology:
- The cooling object unit ensures that the image forming apparatus operates within the desired temperature range, reducing the risk of damage to internal components.
- The intake and exhaust units help to maintain a clean and dust-free environment within the frame, improving the overall performance and print quality of the apparatus.
Original Abstract Submitted
An image forming apparatus forming an image on a sheet conveyed in a sheet conveyance direction includes a frame including a first side plate and a second side plate disposed in parallel in a width direction orthogonal to the sheet conveyance direction, an intake unit disposed on an outer side of the frame in the width direction and configured to draw air into an interior of the frame, an exhaust unit disposed between the first side plate and the second side plate and configured to discharge air outside of the frame, and a cooling object unit disposed on a path of the air which is drawn into the interior of the frame by the intake unit and moves toward the exhaust unit.
