Inkjet recording apparatus

Abstract

To inhibit temperature increase of an exterior covering.SOLUTION: An inkjet recording apparatus includes: an intake port 30 which takes air outside an inkjet recording device into the device; a cooling duct 32 having the intake port 30; a hot air blowing hole 10 which blows air taken from the intake port 30 to a sheet S transported by a drying belt unit 5; a flow duct 14 having the hot air blowing hole 10; a heater 15 which heats air inside the flow duct 14; and a blower fan 13 which blows air from the intake port 30 to an exhaust port 31. The intake port 30 is provided closer to a front surface side of the inkjet recording device than the flow duct 14. The cooling duct 32 forms a first passage f1 of air flowing at the front surface side of the inkjet recording device relative to the flow duct 14 and a second passage of air flowing at a downstream relative to the first passage f1 in an air passage direction from the intake port 30 to the hot air blowing hole 10 and an upper side relative to the flow duct 14 in a vertical direction.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 4
