Image forming apparatus

Abstract

The invention provides an image forming apparatus image which can suppress the temperature difference in the width direction of the conveyance path of the recording medium while suppressing the temperature increase of the discharge recording medium accommodating unit. The image forming apparatus includes an image forming mechanism of a fixing unit (17) for forming an image on paper, a casing (19) for receiving the image forming mechanism, a paper outlet (180) for discharging the paper for forming the image through the image forming mechanism, a discharged paper receiving part (20) for receiving the paper from the paper outlet, the discharged paper receiving part is surrounded by a wall surface portion including a wall surface portion provided with a paper outlet and is at least an in-body paper outlet having a space in which one side surface of the apparatus body is open, a copier (100) is provided with a suction fan (42) that suctions gas from an air suction hole (45) provided on the inner side of a range in which the paper can be passed in the conveyance path width direction for conveying the paper to the paper outlet to suction the air and exhaust the air to the outside of the casing.

Description

[0001] This application is a divisional application of Chinese patent application 201610277773.3 filed on April 27, 2016, entitled "Image Forming Device". technical field [0002] The present invention relates to an image forming apparatus. Background technique [0003] Conventionally, as an electrophotographic image forming apparatus, a configuration in which paper on which an image is formed by an image forming unit inside a housing is discharged from a paper discharge port to a paper discharge unit outside the housing is adopted as a paper discharge unit. It is an internal paper discharge unit provided in the body of the device main body (Patent Document 1, etc.). [0004] As an image forming apparatus using the above-mentioned internal paper discharge unit, it is generally known to provide a suction device on one side wall on the outer side in the width direction of the paper conveyance path between the fixing unit and the paper discharge port to suck the paper conveyanc...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

However, since the image forming apparatus having the above-mentioned suction device exhausts air from one side outside in the width direction of the paper conveyance path, in the width direction in the paper conveyance path, air is discharged from the end portion on the side where the suction device is not provided. Beginning towards the end of the side where the suction device is provided creates a temperature gradient that becomes high temperature

Then, there is a temperature difference between the ends in the width direction, and when trying to sufficiently lower the temperature of the air that becomes high temperature and is installed on the side of the suction device, the temperature is originally the lowest on the side where the suction device is not installed. The temperature will drop excessively
