Below, the structure of the first embodiment increasing apparatus 723 is described.Fig. 3 be the expression first embodiment increasing apparatus 723 brief configuration and with the circuit diagram of the annexation of the electrical storage device 722 and second fixing heater 732.
As shown in Figure 3, the increasing apparatus 723 of first embodiment comprises transformer 723a, MOS transistor 723b, PWM controller 723c and smoothing circuit 723d.
Transformer (example of insulated type converter) 723a is the transformer of insulated type, has to make primary coil and the secondary coil that is adapted at producing on second fixing heater 732 turn ratio of necessary voltage.One end of transformer 723a primary coil is connected on the end (positive voltage one side) of electrical storage device 722, and the other end of primary coil is connected in the drain electrode of MOS transistor 723b.In addition, the two ends of transformer 723a secondary coil are connected on the smoothing circuit 723d.
MOS transistor 723b is used for the discharge current from electrical storage device 722 inputs is carried out switch control.As mentioned above, the drain electrode of MOS transistor 723b is connected on the described other end of transformer 723a primary coil, and source electrode is connected on the other end (negative voltage one side) of electrical storage device 722, and grid is connected on the PWM controller 723c.Adopt above structure, the elementary side of transformer 723a is connected on the electrical storage device 722, and the electric power from electrical storage device 722 is exported to transformer 723a.
PWM controller 723c is under situation about having received from the Continuity signal of the driving increasing apparatus 723 of control part 10, provide electric power to increasing apparatus 723 from electrical storage device 722, in addition, under the situation that makes the cut-off signal that increasing apparatus 723 stops to drive that has received from control part 10, the switch motion of control MOS transistor 723b stops from the power supply of electrical storage device 722 to increasing apparatus 723.
In addition, PWM controller 723c generates pwm signal, makes to reach as the voltage of accessory power supply voltage output from smoothing circuit 723d to give fixed definite value, by this pwm signal being offered the grid of MOS transistor 723b, controls the switch motion of MOS transistor 723b.Like this, even the charging voltage of the double charge layer capacitor of electrical storage device 722 reduces gradually because of discharge, and under the situation that the input voltage of increasing apparatus 723 also reduces, the driving voltage of second fixing heater 732 still remains on definite value, and the heat that second fixing heater 732 is produced is stable.In addition, PWM controller 723c and MOS transistor 723b are examples of the driving switching device shifter in the claim.
Smoothing circuit 723d comprises diode D1, D2, coil L and the capacitor C that connects as shown in Figure 3, the secondary coil voltage that the secondary coil from transformer 723a provides is carried out the smoothing processing, and export as accessory power supply voltage.The output terminal of smoothing circuit 723d is identical with an end of transformer 723a primary coil, is connected on the end (positive voltage one side) of electrical storage device 722.Diode D2 uses has instantaneous withstand voltage element, so that the dash current that produces because of the driving initial stage at second fixing heater 732 does not damage.In addition, negative voltage one side of another output terminal of smoothing circuit 723d and electrical storage device 722 all is connected on second fixing heater 732.
Just, accessory power supply unit 72 has the increasing apparatus 723 that makes input one side (an elementary side) and output one side (a secondary side) insulation by transformer 723a.An elementary side of the increasing apparatus 723 of accessory power supply unit 72 is connected on the electrical storage device 722, and on the other hand, a secondary side one end is connected on the electrical storage device 722, and the other end of this secondary side is connected on second fixing heater 732.Like this, the accessory power supply voltage on the power output end of accessory power supply unit 72 is (stack) voltage the output voltage addition of the charging voltage of electrical storage device 722 and increasing apparatus 723.
Below, the control the when fixing device 7 with first embodiment increasing apparatus 723 is started describes.Fig. 4 is the process flow diagram that expression has the fixing device 7 startup control systems of the first embodiment increasing apparatus 723, Fig. 5 is the circuit diagram that is illustrated in the current path of these fixing device 7 initial start stage, Fig. 6 is illustrated in the circuit diagram that this fixing device 7 starts the current path in later stage, and Fig. 7 A to Fig. 7 D is the sequential chart of heater-driven signal, increasing apparatus drive signal, output current and output voltage when this fixing device 7 starts.
Connect the primary power (being "Yes") of compounding machine 1 by operator's operation in S1, control part 10 makes 71 conductings of first power switch, and the electric power from source power supply 8 is offered first fixing heater 731, drives first fixing heater 731 (S2).
In addition, control part 10 makes charge switch 75 disconnect (S3).Then, control part 10 sends to PWM controller 723c to the signal that stops increasing apparatus 723 drivings, and MOS transistor 723b is carried out switch control (S4), makes the electric power from electrical storage device 722 not offer increasing apparatus 723.Just, control part 10 makes increasing apparatus 723 stop to drive, and boost action is stopped.Then, control part 10 is conducting accessory power supply switch 74 again, and the electric power from accessory power supply unit 72 is offered second fixing heater 732 (S5).
Just, shown in Fig. 7 A to Fig. 7 D, when the primary power of compounding machine 1 was connected, control part 10 made first fixing heater 731 drive (Fig. 7 A), but the state (Fig. 7 B) that increasing apparatus 723 is maintained at stop to drive.Therefore, the output of the electrical storage device 722 that boosts from increasing apparatus 723 of no use, offer second fixing heater 732 (Fig. 7 C).In case driven by power second fixing heater 732 that provides from this electrical storage device 722 is provided, then by second fixing heater 732 that becomes low-temperature condition at the driving initial stage is applied voltage, in second fixing heater 732 and increasing apparatus 723, flow through dash current (Fig. 7 C), current path becomes as shown in Figure 5, and this dash current is to flow to second fixing heater 732 by being arranged on diode D2 on the smoothing circuit 723d in the booster circuit 723 and the path of coil L.In this case, coil L flows through the big electric current more than the ratings that forms because of dash current, becomes state of saturation, can not bring into play the function of telefault.
After this, in case be metered into by timer 11 and passed through described giving and fix time that (dash current of imagination arrives the time of reduction state, for example, the time that drops to rated current of imagination) (in S6, be "Yes"), then control part 10 sends to PWM controller 723c to the Continuity signal that increasing apparatus 723 is driven, MOS transistor 723b is carried out switch control (S7), make electric power offer increasing apparatus 723 from electrical storage device 722.Dash current is flowed through during the increasing apparatus 723, the coil L of increasing apparatus 723 becomes state of saturation, can not bring into play the function of telefault, if but dash current reduces, then coil L recovers from state of saturation, can bring into play the function of telefault, so wait for that dash current reduces, coil L recovers from state of saturation, by control part 10 increasing apparatus 723 is driven, carry out boost action.Like this, after dash current reaches the reduction state,, offer second fixing heater 732 resulting voltage on the output voltage that is superimposed upon with the voltage after increasing apparatus 723 liftings from electrical storage device 722.
Just, as shown in Figure 7, reach reduction state (Fig. 7 C) at described dash current, after coil L recovered from state of saturation, control part 10 drove increasing apparatus 723 (Fig. 7 B).Like this, current path as shown in Figure 6, the voltage that comes the electrical storage device 722 after free increasing apparatus 723 boosts is superposeed, output to second fixing heater 732 (Fig. 7 D), in second fixing heater 732 and increasing apparatus 723, flow through rated current (Fig. 7 C).So can bring into play as telefault normal function, can with increasing apparatus 723 normally boost because coil L recovers from state of saturation this moment.
For example, using second fixing heater 732 and having under the situation of full charging voltage (full-charge voltage) as the electrical storage device 722 of the double charge layer capacitor of 40V, using to have the increasing apparatus 723 that the input voltage of 40V is risen to the performance of 75V output with the halogen heater that drives by ratings 75A/26A.At this moment, utilize the characteristic of halogen heater, during low temperature before producing heat, when resistance value is specified about 1/10, so flow through dash current when applying voltage in the early stage near 200A, can not bring into play the function of telefault because of this dash current causes coil L, but by described control, increasing apparatus 723 does not carry out boost action at this moment.Like this, even have the structure of increasing apparatus 723, because can be to 732 power supplies of second fixing heater, so also can shorten the time that the photographic fixing heating system starts from driving initial stage electrical storage device 722.(for example fall the back after rise at dash current, when first fixing heater 731 and second fixing heater 732 drive behind the 100msec), control part 10 makes action that increasing apparatus 723 begins to boost (in Fig. 7 C, expression is the example behind the 500msec when first fixing heater 731 and second fixing heater 732 drive), in increasing apparatus 723, flow through the rated current (for example 26A) that boost action is not produced harm, in addition, superpose by the voltage after this is boosted, can more effectively carry out the startup of photographic fixing heating system.
Below, the structure of the increasing apparatus 723 of second embodiment is described.Fig. 8 be expression increasing apparatus 723 brief configuration and with the circuit diagram of the annexation of the electrical storage device 722 and second fixing heater 732.In addition, omitted to the explanation of the described first embodiment same structure.
As shown in Figure 8, the increasing apparatus 723 of second embodiment also has by-pass switch (bypass switching mechanism) 723e except having transformer 723a, MOS transistor 723b, PWM controller 723c and smoothing circuit 723d.
By-pass switch 723e offers the switching mechanism that second fixing heater 732 switches to the electric power from electrical storage device 722 to whether making increasing apparatus 723 bypasses.As shown in Figure 8, by-pass switch 723e is connected by short circuit with position with respect to " part that is connected with electrical storage device 722 (accessory power supply connecting portion) " more close transformer 723a with respect to the position of " part (fixing heater connecting portion) that is connected with second fixing heater 732 " more close transformer 723a in a secondary side of increasing apparatus 723.Therefore, by-pass switch 723e can make increasing apparatus 723 be in by under the state of bypass, and the electric power from electrical storage device 722 is offered second fixing heater 732.
Control part 10 be metered into timer 11 passed through described give fix time before, switch by-pass switch 723e, increasing apparatus 723 is in by the state of bypass, output from electrical storage device 722 is offered second fixing heater 732, in addition, passed through described giving under the situation of fixing time being metered into timer 11, can switch by-pass switch 723e, increasing apparatus 723 is in not by the state of bypass, to be superimposed upon from the output of electrical storage device 722 on the voltage after boosting with increasing apparatus 723, again the voltage that obtains like this be offered second fixing heater 732.
Below, the control the when fixing device 7 with second embodiment increasing apparatus 723 is started describes.Fig. 9 is the process flow diagram that expression has the fixing device 7 startup control systems of the second embodiment increasing apparatus 723, Figure 10 is the circuit diagram that is illustrated in the current path of these fixing device 7 initial start stage, Figure 11 is illustrated in the circuit diagram that this fixing device 7 starts the current path in later stage, the sequential chart of heater-driven signal, by-pass switch drive signal, output current and output voltage when Figure 12 A to Figure 12 D is these fixing device 7 startups.
Make in operation under the situation (in S21, being "Yes") of the primary power connection of compounding machine 1 by the operator, control part 10 makes 71 conductings of first power switch, electric power from source power supply 8 is offered first fixing heater 731, drive first fixing heater 731 (S22), and turn off charge switch 75 (S23).At this moment, control part 10 switches by-pass switch 723e, makes by-pass switch 723e conducting, and increasing apparatus 723 is in by the state of bypass, makes the electric power from electrical storage device 722 offer second fixing heater 732 (S24).Have, control part 10 makes 74 conductings of accessory power supply switch again, and the electric power from accessory power supply unit 72 is offered second fixing heater 732 (S25).
Just shown in Figure 12 A to Figure 12 D, when the primary power of compounding machine 1 is connected, control part 10 makes first fixing heater 731 drive (Figure 12 A), by-pass switch 723e conducting (Figure 12 B), the output from electrical storage device 722 that increasing apparatus 723 of no use is boosted offers second fixing heater 732 (Figure 12 D).In case driven by power second fixing heater 732 that provides from this electrical storage device 722 is provided, then by applying voltage to second fixing heater 732 that becomes low-temperature condition at the driving initial stage, in second fixing heater 732, flow through dash current (Figure 12 C), current path as shown in figure 10, increasing apparatus 723 is in by the state of bypass, to cross second fixing heater 732 by the path flow of by-pass switch 723e.In this case, the big electric current that does not flow through in coil L more than the ratings is a dash current, and coil L does not become state of saturation, so do not bear load on coil L.
After this, in case be metered into timer 11 and passed through described giving and fix time that (dash current of imagination reaches the time of reduction state, for example, the time that drops to rated current of imagination) (in S26, be "Yes"), control part 10 switches by-pass switch 723e, by-pass switch 723e is disconnected (S27), will boost with increasing apparatus 723 from the electric power of electrical storage device 722.Have, control part 10 sends to PWM controller 723c to the Continuity signal that increasing apparatus 723 is driven, and MOS transistor 723b is carried out switch control (S28), and the electric power from electrical storage device 722 is offered increasing apparatus 723 again.Just, control part 10 makes increasing apparatus 723 carry out boost action.Like this, after dash current reaches the reduction state, the voltage after boosting with increasing apparatus 723 is superimposed upon resulting voltage on the output voltage from electrical storage device 722, offers second fixing heater 732.
