IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240160148 titled 'IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS

Simplified Explanation

The abstract of the patent application describes a specific distance relationship between a fan and an area of a belt in the context of air discharge and intake directions.

  • The first distance between the fan and the belt area at the downstream side in the air discharge direction is equal to or greater than the second distance at the upstream side in the air intake direction.
    • Potential Applications:
  - Industrial ventilation systems
  - HVAC systems
  - Air purifiers
    • Problems Solved:
  - Efficient air circulation
  - Reduced energy consumption
  - Improved air quality
    • Benefits:
  - Optimal airflow distribution
  - Enhanced performance of the fan
  - Cost-effective operation
    • Potential Commercial Applications:
  - Manufacturing facilities
  - Office buildings
  - Residential homes
    • Possible Prior Art:
  - Previous patents related to fan positioning in air circulation systems
  - Studies on airflow optimization in various industries
      1. Unanswered Questions
        1. How does this distance relationship impact the overall efficiency of the fan system?

The distance relationship ensures that the fan operates optimally by maintaining a balanced airflow distribution, which can lead to improved efficiency and performance.

        1. What are the potential challenges in implementing this distance requirement in existing fan systems?

One challenge could be retrofitting older systems to meet the specified distance criteria, which may require modifications or adjustments to the existing setup. Additionally, ensuring compliance with safety regulations and standards could also pose a challenge.


Original Abstract Submitted

a distance between a fan and an area of a belt opposed to the fan at a downstream side in an air discharge direction of the fan is a first distance. a distance between the fan and an area of the belt opposed to the fan at an upstream side in an air intake direction of the fan is a second distance. the first distance is equal to or greater than the second distance.
