IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS

To ensure the conduction between a connection member and an electrode part.SOLUTION: An image forming apparatus 100 comprises a heating device 9 that heats a sheet on which an image is formed. The heating device 9 includes a pair of rotating members 20, 21 that are in contact with each other to form a nip part, a heating member 22 that heats at least one of the pair of rotating members 20, 21, and a connection member 70 that is conductably connected with the heating member 22. The image forming apparatus 100 further has blowing means 34. The heating device 9 is provided in a direction perpendicular to a surface of the blowing means 34 having a blowing port 35 provided therein. The center 35a of the blowing port 35 is arranged on an orthogonal line α that passes through the connection member 70 and is orthogonal to a rotation axis direction X of one of the pair of rotating members 20, 21.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 10 【課題】接続部材と電極部との導通性を確保する。【解決手段】画像形成装置１００は、画像が形成されたシートを加熱する加熱装置９を備え、加熱装置９は、互いに接触してニップ部を形成する一対の回転部材２０，２１と、一対の回転部材２０，２１の少なくとも一方を加熱する加熱部材２２と、加熱部材２２に導通可能に接続される接続部材７０と、を備え、画像形成装置１００はさらに、送風手段３４を有し、加熱装置９は、送風手段３４の送風口３５が設けられた面に垂直な方向に設けられ、送風口３５の中央３５ａは、接続部材７０を通り一対の回転部材２０，２１のいずれか一方の回転軸方向Ｘに直交する直交線α上に配置される。【選択図】図１０
