- This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18130984 Titled 'IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS'
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an image forming apparatus that has a casing, a fan, a duct member, an electric component, and a sensor unit. The casing has a cover, an air inlet opening, and an air outlet opening. The fan takes in air from one side and blows it out on the other side, creating an air flow through the air inlet opening, the fan, the duct member, and the air outlet opening. The sensor unit is positioned between the air inlet opening and the fan's rotational axis, on the side where the air enters.
Original Abstract Submitted
An image forming apparatus includes a casing accommodating an image forming unit, a fan, a duct member, an electric component, and a sensor unit. The casing includes a cover member, an air inlet opening, and an air outlet opening. The fan is configured to take in air from an upstream side in the second direction and blow out the air to a downstream side in the second direction such that the air flow flowing through the air inlet opening, the fan, the duct member, and the air outlet opening is generated. The sensor unit is arranged within a region between the air inlet opening and a rotational axis of the fan in the first direction, and is arranged on an upstream side of the fan in the second direction.
