Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes an information processing section that is provided with a housing and an image forming section that is disposed above the housing in a gravitational direction. In the image forming apparatus, a gap exists between the housing and the image forming section, and a ventilation hole is formed in an upper surface of the housing.
Claims5
An image forming apparatus comprising:
- an information processing section that is provided with a housing;
- and
- an image forming section that is disposed above the housing in a gravitational direction defined as a direction from the image forming section to the information processing section,
- wherein a gap exists at least between a position on the housing above a heat dissipation accelerating section in the gravitational direction and the image forming section, and a ventilation hole is formed in an upper surface of the housing, wherein the ventilation hole is formed on a downstream side of the blower and the heat dissipation accelerating section in a blowing direction of the blower,
- wherein the ventilation hole is formed such that an opening area per unit area on the downstream side in the blowing direction is larger than an opening area per unit area on an upstream side in the blowing direction,
- wherein the information processing section is disposed in the housing and comprises a blower and the heat dissipation accelerating section that accelerates heat dissipation, and the heat dissipation accelerating section is located at the downstream side of the blower in the blowing direction of the blower.
