Image forming apparatus including a fan-motor unit to prevent contamination of a charging unit

摘要

An image forming apparatus has a structure which prevents contamination of charging units charging photoconductors. The image forming apparatus includes photoconductor units, charging units charging the photoconductor units, and a fan-motor unit changing the flow of air between the photoconductor units and the charging units to prevent substances of fine particles from flowing into the charging units.

主权项

1. An image forming apparatus comprising:
at least one photoconductor unit; at least one charging unit to charge the at least one photoconductor unit; a suction unit disposed in the rear of the at least one charging unit to suck substances generated from the at least one charging unit; and a fan-motor unit to discharge air toward an outside surface of the suction unit and to change a flow of air outside of the at least one photoconductor unit and the at least one charging unit to prevent substances from flowing into the at least one charging unit, wherein the fan-motor unit is disposed below the suction unit and forms a flow of air in a direction opposite to a flow of air formed by the suction unit to prevent the substances from flowing into the at least one charging unit by the suction unit.
