Problems solved by technology

In order to improve the performance of the filter, it can be considered to increase the surface area of ​​the filter, or thicken the thickness of the filter, but if the thickness of the filter is thickened, the length of the image forming device in the depth direction will be correspondingly increased, resulting in space utilization in the office become worse, so the method of increasing the surface area of ​​the filter is usually used

Abstract

An air cleaner having a filter, causing air to pass through the filter and discharging the filtered air. The air cleaner includes: an air duct having an inlet via which air is received and an outlet facing a first part of a main surface of the filter and via which the received air is output towards the first part of the main surface; a fan causing air to be received by the air duct via the inlet, to be output from the air duct via the outlet, and to pass through the filter; and a flow distributer disposed between the outlet and the filter. The flow distributer changes a direction of flow of air output from the air duct from towards the first part of the main surface to towards a second part of the main surface of the filter that does not face the outlet.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a cleaning unit that sucks gas generated from a fixing device and the like included in image forming devices such as printers, copiers, and printer multifunction devices, and discharges the gas to the outside through a filter. Background technique [0002] In image forming devices such as printers and copiers, floating substances such as volatile organic compounds (Volatile Organic Compounds) are generated from fixing devices, etc. In order to realize a comfortable office environment, the gas containing the floating substances is inhaled and passed through the filter After the above-mentioned floating substances are collected by the device, the residual gas is discharged to the outside, so that the above-mentioned floating substances are not discharged outside the machine, which will affect the office environment. [0003] As mentioned above, the mechanism that traps floating matter through the filter and exhausts it is...
