IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for patent application number 18192902 Titled 'IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS'
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an image forming device that includes a photoconductor and an exposure unit with light emitting portions to expose the photoconductor. The device also has a substrate with a first duct for airflow cooling, an IC mounted on the substrate, a fan for generating airflow, and a second duct that connects to the first duct and guides the airflow. The IC is positioned between the center of the substrate and the first opening of the first duct.
Original Abstract Submitted
An image forming including: a photoconductor; an exposure unit including a substrate provided with a plurality of light emitting portions configured to emit light to expose the photoconductor, and a first duct configured to guide an airflow that cools the substrate from one side to another side in a longitudinal direction of the substrate along the substrate; an IC mounted on the substrate; a fan configured to generate an airflow that cools the substrate; and a second duct configured to communicate with the first duct through a first opening portion, and guide the airflow generated by the fan, the first opening portion is located on the one side with respect to the center of the substrate in the longitudinal direction of the substrate, and the IC is located between the center of the substrate in the longitudinal direction and the first opening portion.
