发明名称 Image forming apparatus provided with structure for receiving liquid
摘要 An image forming apparatus includes a casing, an image-forming unit, a circuit board for controlling operations of the image-forming unit, a receiving unit for receiving liquid entering into the casing. The casing includes: a wall portion constituting a top surface and positioned upward of the image-forming unit; a first frame supporting the circuit board; and a second frame opposing the first frame in an orthogonal direction orthogonal to a vertical direction. The wall portion includes a first member and a second member positioned adjacent to each other to provide a first gap therebetween. The image-forming unit is disposed between the first frame and the second frame. The receiving unit is positioned below the first gap and includes a receiving wall for receiving the liquid entering into the casing through the first gap, the receiving wall being slanted downward toward the second frame.

主权项 1. An image forming apparatus comprising: a casing; an image-forming unit disposed within the casing and configured to form an image on a recording medium; a circuit board configured to control operations of the image-forming unit; and a receiving unit configured to receive liquid entering into the casing, wherein the casing includes: a wall portion constituting a top surface of the casing and positioned upward of the image-forming unit in a vertical direction, the wall portion including a first member and a second member positioned adjacent to each other to provide a first gap therebetween;a first frame supporting the circuit board; anda second frame disposed to oppose and be spaced away from the first frame in an orthogonal direction orthogonal to the vertical direction, the image-forming unit being disposed between the first frame and the second frame in the orthogonal direction, wherein the receiving unit is positioned below the first gap, the receiving unit including a receiving wall configured to receive the liquid entering into the casing through the first gap, the receiving wall being slanted downward toward the second frame.
