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. |

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. |
