Ventilation structure and image forming apparatus with same

摘要

A ventilation structure includes a duct unit between a heat generating structure and a heat insulating structure. The ventilation structure includes a heat generating structure side flow channel formed on the heat generating structure side in the duct unit to take in and let fresh air flow along a long side of the duct unit and a heat insulating structure side flow channel formed on the heat insulating structure side in the duct unit to exhaust air outputted from an exhaust system provided in the heat generating structure by letting the air flow and evacuate along the short side of the duct unit.

1. A ventilation structure comprising:
a duct unit provided between a heat generating structure and a heat insulating structure, the duct unit including
a first chamber, a second chamber, and a partition wall separating the first chamber and the second chamber, the first chamber including a first inlet port and a first air exhaust port, the second chamber including a second inlet port and a second air exhaust port;a heat generating structure side flow channel including the first chamber and formed on a heat generating structure side in the duct unit to take in fresh air from the first inlet port of the first chamber and let the fresh air flow to the first air exhaust port of the first chamber along a long side of the duct unit; anda heat insulating structure side flow channel including the second chamber and formed on a heat insulating structure side in the duct unit to exhaust air outputted from the heat generating structure by letting the air flow from the second inlet port of the second chamber to the second air exhaust port of the second chamber along a short side of the duct unit.
