20100309950 | TEMPERATURE DETECTOR, IMAGE FORMING DEVICE HAVING TEMPERATURE DETECTOR, AND CONTAMINATION DETECTION METHOD FOR TEMPERATURE DETECTOR - A temperature detector has: an infrared sensor located so as not to be in contact with a measured object; an infrared transmission filter which is located between the infrared sensor and the measured object so as to block the infrared sensor from the measured object, and through which infrared rays emitted from the measured object pass; and a distance changer for changing a distance between the measured object and the infrared transmission filter, wherein the infrared sensor is provided so as to detect the infrared rays, which have passed through the infrared transmission filter, to detect a temperature of the measured object even when the distance is changed by the distance changer. | 12-09-2010 |
20100329720 | FIXING DEVICE AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS HAVING IMPROVED ACCURACY OF TEMPERATURE CONTROL - In a fixing device, having a sheet portion and an inter-sheet portion, heats and fixes the toner image onto each of sheets by rotationally bringing the sheet portion into contact with each sheet. A heating unit heats the fixing unit. A sensing unit senses a temperature of the fixing unit. A control unit controls a duty ratio of on/off of the heating unit based on a sensing output of the sensing unit, determines whether the sensing unit is sensing the temperature of the sheet portion or the temperature of the inter-sheet portion in a rotation cycle, and controls the temperature of the heating unit by using the adjustment value corresponding to the sheet portion or the inter-sheet portion depending on a determination result. | 12-30-2010 |
20120082474 | FIXING APPARATUS AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS IN WHICH TEMPERATURE OF HEATING ROTATING MEMBER IS DETECTED IN NON-CONTACT MANNER - In a fixing apparatus, a first detection portion detects a temperature of an atmosphere (a first detected temperature) attained by heat conduction from a heating rotating member for fixing a toner image on a sheet of paper by heating, at a position above the heating rotating member. A second detection portion detects a quantity of infrared rays radiated from the heating rotating member, to thereby detect a temperature at a position below the heating rotating member. A heating portion heats the heating rotating member. A control portion controls heating by the heating portion based on a second detected temperature corresponding to the quantity of infrared rays and the first detected temperature. | 04-05-2012 |
20120243896 | FIXING DEVICE WHICH INCLUDES TEMPERATURE MEASURING UNIT CAPABLE OF MEASURING SURFACE TEMPERATURE OF HEAT APPLYING ROTARY BODY - A fixing device includes a heating roller which is heated by a heater, a pressure roller which comes into contact with a fixing belt to form a nip portion, and a thermopile capable of measuring a surface temperature of the fixing belt. The fixing device moves that portion on the surface of the fixing belt which was located at the nip portion with the pressure roller at the start of a warm-up operation, to a measurement location of the thermopile. The fixing device uses the thermopile to measure the temperature of that portion on the surface of the fixing belt moved to the measurement location. The fixing device controls the warm-up operation on the basis of the temperature measured by the thermopile. This can reduce the time required for the warm-up operation. | 09-27-2012 |
20140133880 | FIXING UNIT AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - A fixing unit includes a first heat source configured to heat a roller, and a second heat source configured to heat the roller. The maximum value of a total amount of heat generated in the second heat source is smaller than that of the first heat source. The second heat source has an amount of heat generated higher in ends of the second heat source than in a center thereof in a distribution of the amount of heat generated in the axial direction. The second heat source has a rate of the amount of heat generated in the ends of the second heat source to that in the center thereof higher than a rate of the amount of heat generated in the ends of the first heat source to that in the center thereof. | 05-15-2014 |
20140341607 | IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - An image forming apparatus has a fusing unit including a first rotor provided with a heat-generating unit and an elastic layer, as well as a second rotor provided in direct contact with the first rotor, the fusing unit fixing a toner image on a sheet, and a duct for allowing an inlet and an exhaust outlet to communicate with each other, the inlet being adapted to allow a current of air derived from the fusing unit to flow in, the exhaust outlet facing toward the outside of the apparatus. The duct includes an introduction channel for guiding and jetting out air taken in from the inlet, a main channel for guiding the air jetted out of the introduction channel to the exhaust outlet, and a cul-de-sac provided in communication with the main channel at one end and closed at the other end. | 11-20-2014 |
