20120234656 | BELT SKEW CORRECTING DEVICE, BELT DEVICE, AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - A belt skew correcting device corrects a deviation of an endless belt which is supported by a plurality of rollers and which is driven to rotate around the plurality of rollers. An inclined sectional surface of a dislocating member is guided by an inclined sectional surface of a guide member in accordance with a following movement of a following member, so that a rotational shaft of one roller is given a tilt corresponding to an amount of the movement of the endless belt along the rotational shaft, and thereby the one roller can be tiled. | 09-20-2012 |
20140270824 | FIXING DEVICE AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - A fixing device, corresponding to a plurality of sheet passing widths, includes a rotating member configured to convey a recording medium, rise in temperature, and fix toner; temperature sensors configured to detect the surface temperature of the rotating member; heating members including at least one heat generating unit, provided inside the rotating member; and a control unit configured to control a heating state obtained by the heating members. The heat generating units are provided not to overlap each other in the direction of the sheet passing width orthogonal to the recording medium conveying direction. The temperature sensors are only placed at positions corresponding to the heat generating units used when printing on the recording medium having a minimum width. The control unit controls the heating state in accordance with the surface temperature, a sheet passing width, and an operational state of the rotating member that changes with time. | 09-18-2014 |
20140376938 | FIXING DEVICE FOR FIXING A TONER IMAGE ON A SHEET-SHAPED RECORDING MEDIUM AND IMAGE FORMATION APPARATUS - A fixing device includes a rotational member configured to convey and heat a sheet-shaped recording medium, the rotational member including a first heating member and a second heating member provided in parallel to a rotational axis of the rotational member in an interior thereof, the first heating member including a first heat generation part, the second heating member including a second heat generation part and an auxiliary heat generation part adjacent to the second heat generation part, a common temperature sensor configured to sense a temperature of the first heating member and a temperature of the second heating member, and a control part configured to control a ratio of a rate of lighting of the first heating member and a rate of lighting of the second heating member based on the temperature of the first heating member and the temperature of the second heating member. | 12-25-2014 |

20080202613 | Hermetic Compressor - A hermetic compressor that has a pedestal of the valve plate to which a discharge reed equipped with an opening/closing part and discharge reed holding part, a spring reed equipped with a movable part and spring reed holding part, and a stopper equipped with a regulation part and stopper holding part, are fixed in this sequence, and also has a discharge valve device in which the spring reed is shaped in a substantially crank-like form is provided. A space is formed between the movable part of the spring reed and the opening/closing part of the discharge reed, and both are not adsorbed each other, thus preventing a delay in closing of the discharge reed. This makeup suppresses a decrease in freezing capacity of a fridge-freezer device and the like, thus implementing higher efficiency. | 08-28-2008 |
20090010788 | Hermetic compressor - Stopper contains abutment section at a position that corresponds to arm section so as to keep a clearance from arm section of discharge reed. The structure above allows discharge reed to have two-stage spring characteristics; discharge reed exhibits a weaker springiness until arm section abuts against abutment section, and then exhibits a stronger springiness after the abutment. Employing the discharge reed having the two-stage characteristics allows discharge valve unit to easily open and quickly close without delay. Such structured hermetic compressor enhances energy efficiency, preventing degradation in refrigeration performance. | 01-08-2009 |
20090116985 | Hermetic compressor - A hermetic compressor including a discharge valve system in a cylinder. A discharge valve system includes a discharge reed having an opening/closing portion and a discharge reed holding portion, a spring reed having a movable portion and a spring reed holding portion, and a stopper having a regulation portion and a stopper holding portion. The discharge reed, the spring reed and the stopper are fixed in this order to a pedestal of a valve plate. At a spring reed bending portion provided in a movable portion, the movable portion is bent toward the direction of the valve seat and the tip portion is brought into contact with the plate contact portion. Space is provided between the movable portion of the spring reed and the opening/closing portion of the discharge reed, and both are not brought into close contact with each other. Thus, delay in closing discharge reed can be prevented and deterioration of the refrigerating capacity can be suppressed. | 05-07-2009 |
20090291007 | HERMETIC COMPRESSOR - In a stopper, by providing, in a position corresponding to a movable end vicinity of a discharge reed, a first regulation part having a predetermined clearance from the movable end vicinity of the discharge reed, since a hermetic compressor has such a two-stage spring characteristic that, until the movable end vicinity of the discharge reed touches the first regulation part, a spring characteristic is weak and, after the touch, the spring characteristic is strong, and there is obtained a discharge valve device which is easy to open and whose closing speed is rapid, it is possible to improve a delay in closing. | 11-26-2009 |
