Fig. 1 is the sectional view that shows imaging device of the present invention.In Fig. 1, when electrophotographic photosensitive material (below be called photosensitive drums) 11 during with the direction rotation of specific peripheral speed at arrow, the surface of photosensitive drums is recharged device 12 and fills with negative dark potential (dark electric potential) VO.Optical beam scanner 13 output is according to from image read-out or as the laser beam 14 modulated of the sequential electronic digit picture element signal imported of the main frame (not shown) of computer.The surface of the photosensitive drums 11 that these laser beam 14 scannings have been charged also makes its exposure.Thus, the exposed portion of photosensitive drums 11 reduces the current potential absolute value and becomes bright current potential VL, and and then formation electrostatic latent image.By this sub-image of electronegative toner development of developing parts 15 and make it clear.
Developing parts 15 is furnished with the developer roll 16 of rotation.Developer roll 16 is oppositely arranged with photosensitive drums 11 and forms toner thin layer on the outer surface of this roller.For developer roll 16 applies the development bias voltage.The absolute value of development bias voltage less than the dark potential VO of photosensitive drums 11 greater than bright current potential VL.Therefore, the toner on the developer roll 16 only is transferred to the bright current potential VL of photosensitive drums 11 and makes sub-image clear.
On the contrary, from 17 one pages of picking up assembly present recording medium 205 and (registration roller pair) 18 delivered to pinching (nip) zone of photosensitive drums 11 and transfer roll 19 with the synchronous appropriate time of photosensitive drums 11 rotation with it by alignment roller.Subsequently, by the transfer roll 19 that is applied with transfer bias on it toner image on photosensitive drums 11 is transferred on the recording medium 205 in turn.Remain in photosensitive drums 11 lip-deep any materials, separate the residual transfer printing toner in back as recording medium 205, imaging next time that device 20 removes and repeatedly offers is cleaned.
Recording medium 205 is guided by photographic fixing guide member 21 to the transmission of fixing device 22.After recording medium 205 and photosensitive drums 11 were separated, recording medium was sent to fixing device 22.Be transferred to timing diagram picture (timer image) on the recording medium 205 by this action institute photographic fixing.Transmission causes the device outside by the recording medium 205 picked guide members 23 of fixing device 22.Photographic fixing paper guide member 21 and pick up guide member 23 and can make by resin such as ABS.In addition, photographic fixing guide member 21 and pick up guide member 23 and can make by nonmagnetic substance such as aluminium equally.After the fusing toner image, recording medium 205 is directed to output panel (delivery tray) 24.
The base plate 25 of apparatus main body, the top board 26 of apparatus main body and apparatus main body casing 27 constitute an integral body and support the intensity of whole device.The stock of these elements is a magnet steel, and uses zinc-plating material to make these elements.
Cooling fan 28 is at the inner air-flow that produces of device.Coil cover 29 plays the effect of cladding element and contains nonmagnetic substance such as aluminium, just and be included to cover the rear surface and the arc magnetic core 106 of magnetic excitation coil 105.
Below, describe the fixing device that is installed in the imaging device shown in Figure 1 in detail.Fig. 2 is the side cross-sectional views that shows the fixing device structure.
Fixing device shown in Fig. 2 has as the heat generating roller 201 of cylindricality first rotary body and the fixing roller 202 that separates with this heat generating roller 201.The pili annulati torrid zone 203 as second rotary body is suspended between heat generating roller 201 and the fixing roller 202.The rotation of fixing roller 202 makes heat generating roller 203 rotate in the direction shown in the arrow A.Heating tape 203 is against the fixing roller 202 of ground pinching crimping backer roll 204.By backer roll 204 is crimped onto fixing roller 202, between two rollers, form the pinching zone.The temperature sensor 112 of detection heating tape 203 temperature is set at the central spot between heat generating roller 201 and the fixing roller 202.
On the contrary, the magnetic excitation wire coil unit is provided with pinching heating tape 203 and cover the peripheral surface of half at least of heat generating roller 201.The magnetic excitation wire coil unit closely is set extending, contacts with heating tape 203 at described contact area L heat generating roller 201 from contact area L to the wide region that only extends the zone (below be called the non-contact area) of specific range in the entrance and exit side of heating tape 203.
Fig. 3 (a) is for showing the top view of magnetic excitation wire coil unit, and Fig. 3 (b) be the sectional view (or B-B line sectional view, C-C line sectional view) of the middle A-A line of Fig. 3 (a).Fig. 4 (a) is the external view of magnetic excitation coil 105, and Fig. 4 (b) is the front view of magnetic excitation coil, and Fig. 4 (c) is the sectional view of F-F line among Fig. 4 (b).
The magnetic excitation wire coil unit has the magnetic excitation coil 105 that produces alternating magnetic field, form the arc magnetic core 106 of the arc of the rear surface that covers magnetic excitation coil 105, be arranged on the central magnetic core 107 of the coiling center of magnetic excitation coil 105, and the sidepiece magnetic core 108 that is arranged on the place, coiling bundle both sides of magnetic excitation coil 105.Kicker magnet as ferrite or permalloy, can be used as core material.
Central authorities' magnetic core 107 and sidepiece magnetic core 108 form magnetic circuit with arc magnetic core 106.Therefore, most of magnetic flux of being produced in heating tape 203 outsides of magnetic excitation coil 105 passes this magnetic core of three types and has reduced the magnetic flux that leaks into the magnetic core outside.In addition, these three kinds of magnetic cores are all dispensable.Can use a kind of magnetic core, its combination more or not to use magnetic core.In addition, central magnetic core 107 and sidepiece magnetic core 108 can combine with arc magnetic core 106 or the combination of materials used.
Magnetic excitation coil 105, arc magnetic core 106, central magnetic core 107 and sidepiece magnetic core 108 are fixed on the coil holding element 109.Coil holding element 109 has the approximate semicylinder 109a that forms the semicylinder shape, and respectively from the outward extending in the horizontal direction flange 109b of the outward flange of semicylinder 1 09a both sides.Two long sidepiece magnetic cores 108 are arranged among two flange 109b of coil holding element 109.Magnetic excitation coil 105 has the roughly the same shape with the semicylinder 109a of coil holding element 109, and is placed on semicylinder 109a and goes up and be not wound on the coil holding element 109.Magnetic excitation coil 105 longitudinally forms opening 105d (Fig. 4) in the center of magnetic excitation coil 105.Central authorities' magnetic core 107 is placed among this opening 105d.In the mode on magnetic excitation coil 105 and central magnetic core 107, several arc magnetic cores 106 are placed on vertical several position place of going up of coil holding element 109.
Coil holding element 109 is also as the heat insulator between heat generating roller 201 and the magnetic excitation coil 105.The temperature of heat generating roller part reaches for example 170 ℃ fixing temperature.Therefore, coil holding element 109 cuts off towards the thermal radiation that is close to magnetic excitation coil 105, thereby can limit the heating of magnetic excitation coil 105.
Magnetic core (opposing core) 110 is placed on the inside of heat generating roller 201 relatively.Kicker magnet can be used as the material of relative magnetic core 110 as ferrite or permalloy.Because magnetic core 110 passes most of magnetic flux that magnetic excitation coil 105 produces relatively, thus a small amount of magnetic flux is arranged to the magnetic excitation coil external leaks, and then make relative magnetic core 110 can effectively utilize the magnetic flux of magnetic excitation coil.
At this, describe the shape of magnetic excitation coil 105 in detail.As mentioned above, because magnetic excitation coil 105 is placed on the semicylinder 109a of coil holding element 109, so it has the shape roughly the same with semicylinder 109a.Although be of similar shape according to stable viewpoint magnetic excitation coil and the semicylinder of installing, the shape of magnetic excitation coil 105 needn't be identical with the shape of semicylinder 109a.
For semicylinder 109a, the relative position 109c relative with contact area L (Fig. 2) is formed roughly identical with the curvature of heat generating roller 201 surface of curvature, and the extension 109d that extends to flange 109b from the top of relative position 109c (L is relative with contact area) is placed near heating tape 203 (is fan-shaped towards fixing roller 202 broadenings) with the distance of almost determining.Yet extension 109d is formed the general plane shape of extending with the angle that can not contact.
Therefore, even heating tape 203 is fan-shaped towards fixing roller 202 broadenings, because the diameter of heat generating roller 201 is less than the diameter of fixing roller 202, so according to uniform distance relative position 109c is set closely with the curvature identical, and the non-contact area that extends to the entrance and exit both sides with respect to the top from contact area L is provided with extension 109d with uniform distance almost near heating tape 203 with contact area L.
The shape of the shape by making magnetic excitation coil 105 and the semicylinder 109a of coil holding element 109 is roughly the same, can be according to according to even distance magnetic excitation coil 105 being set closely with the curvature identical with contact area L with the similar mode of coil holding element 109, and magnetic excitation coil 105 with the non-contact area that extends to the entrance and exit both sides with respect to top from contact area L almost uniform distance be provided with near heating tape 203.
In other words, shown in Fig. 4 (c), for magnetic excitation coil 105, form curved surface 105a with the curvature identical with heat generating roller 201, this curved surface is relative with the contact area L that has with heat generating roller 201 same curvature, and becoming fan-shaped heating tape 203 extension 105b to be formed generally flat surface with almost fixing distance with respect to broadening, described extension 105b is relative with the non-contact area that extends to the entrance and exit both sides from contact area L top.
Because the shape of magnetic excitation coil 105 makes its place of relative position separately at the curved surface of the curved surface of corresponding contact area L and non-contact area have identical curved surface or flat surface (in this example, flat surface has infinitely-great curvature), so can be increased in the surface area of the generation of the vortex flow that flows in the heating tape 203 lip-deep conducting shells, and then can increase the heat that heating tape 203 produces.
Shown in figure 2 in the fixing device, because be applied with the object in the magnetic field of magnetic excitation coil 105 is that the contact area L with even curvature becomes fan-shaped flat with broadening, forms the shape of magnetic excitation coil 105 (with coil holding element 109) with the surface (105b) of curved surface (105a) peace that is complementary with these shapes.When be applied with magnetic field to as if different shapes, the shape of magnetic excitation coil 105 can form the coupling these difform a plurality of curved surfaces combination.The shape that also can form magnetic excitation coil 105 makes the extension with flat part and has the extension of another part of another curved surface that is different from curved surface (105a).
Fig. 5 (a) and (b) and the modification example that (c) shows the shape of magnetic excitation coil.
For the modification example shown in Fig. 5 (a), the extension H1 that extends from curved surface 105a at the tape entry place of magnetic excitation coil 105 almost is parallel to the shape that relative heating tape 203 extends and form flat surface.Be formed curved surface in the band exit from the extension H2 that curved surface 105a extends, described curved surface has the curvature corresponding to heating tape 203 projections.
According to fixing device,, also exist bossing not appear at the possibility at tape entry place although bossing may appear on the outside at tape entry place.For with such fixing device compatibility, the curvature of left and right sides extension H1, H2 (comprising flat surface) must according to the band situation change.According to the modification example shown in Fig. 5 (a), have bossing and only appear at the fixing device of taking the feature on mouthful outside out of and between magnetic excitation coil 105 and heating tape 203, maintain a certain distance usually, so that can apply uniform magnetic field.
Modification example shown in Fig. 5 (b) is such example, wherein two extension H1 that extend along both direction from curved surface 105a in the tape entry and the band exit of magnetic excitation coil 105 almost are parallel to the shape that relative separately heating tape 203 extends and form flat surface.Especially, extension H1 extends the horizontal line that the rotating shaft that surpasses heat generating roller 201 towards fixing roller 202 passes.Usually, because all magnetic excitation coil is formed with uniform curved, so be difficult to fully keep length.If bossing does not appear at the tape entry and the band exit of magnetic excitation coil 105, product of the present invention also can fully be kept the length of extension H1, as Fig. 5 (b).At Fig. 5 (a) with in the modification example (c), because being formed situation about making according to band, the curved shape of extension H1, H2 keeps even distance, so can keep the length of extension in the mode that is similar to modification example shown in Fig. 5 (b).
Because can be by in magnetic excitation coil 105, keeping the length of extension H1 in this manner fully, to apply magnetic field equably, so can improve heating efficiency than wideer before scope.
For the modification example shown in Fig. 5 (c), the extension H1 that extends from curved surface 105a at the tape entry place of magnetic excitation coil 105, be formed to have the corresponding curved surface of the curvature of heating tape 203 projectioies relatively, and be with the exit from the extension H2 that curved surface 105a extends, be formed to have the corresponding curved surface of the curvature of heating tape 203 projectioies relatively.
According to fixing device, the possibility that exists bossing to appear at tape entry and take mouthful two places out of.For with this fixing device compatibility, the curvature of left and right sides extension H1, H2 must according to the band projection and bending.According to the modification example shown in Fig. 5 (c), have the fixing device that bossing appears at tape entry and takes the characteristic at mouthful two places out of, between magnetic excitation coil 105 and heating tape 203, keep certain distance usually, so that can apply uniform magnetic field.
Fig. 5 (a) and (b) and (c) shown in each extension (H1, H2) of magnetic excitation coil only extend 5mm from the horizontal line that the rotating shaft (initial point O) of heat generating roller 201 is passed towards the fixing roller side.Experimental result finds that heating tape 203 is from initially being shortened to 170 ℃ of required times.The length that the horizontal line that extension (H1, H2) is passed from the rotating shaft (initial point O) of heat generating roller 201 extends towards the fixing roller side is preferably 10mm and still less.If length surpasses 10mm, reduce and combination between the relative magnetic cores 110 of heat generating roller 201 inner placements.
Next, explanation is constituted the material of the element of fixing device.
For example, Fe, the Ni alloy (as SUS) by Fe, Ni and hollow, cylindricality and strong magnetic metal material forms heat generating roller 201.External diameter for example is 10mm to 30mm, and thickness for example is 0.1mm to 0.2mm.Synthetic has low thermal capacity and rises thermal property fast.
Fixing roller 202 for example comprise the metal magnetic core 202a that makes as SUS by metal and cover as described in metal magnetic core 202a and solid or foam silicone rubber flexible member 202b with heat-resistant quality.For the pressure that utilizes backer roll 204 forms the contact area (pinching zone N) with specific width between fixing roller 202 and backer roll 204, external diameter is 20mm to 40mm and bigger than the diameter of heat generating roller 201.The thickness of flexible member 202b is that 3mm to 8mm and hardness are 15 ° to 50 ° (requiring C).
Because this makes the thermal capacity of heat generating roller 201 less than the thermal capacity of fixing roller 202, so can heat heat generating roller 201 apace and shorten warm-up time.

By with the flat surface of extrusion direction right angle intersection in first pressurizing member 303, formpiston 301 is fixed on the rotating disk 401 that can rotate.First pressurizing member 303 also is fixed to and press-fits the plate (not shown) on the above-mentioned Winder.
Shown in Fig. 7 (a), against the fixing formpiston guiding driving element 307 of installation elements 303a, 303b, the projected side wall of described installation elements from the both sides of first pressurizing member 303 is on formpiston coiling guide member 304.Drive source is that the drive unit of inflator comprises described formpiston guiding driving element 307.Support each formpiston coiling guide member 304 via each formpiston guiding driving element 307.
Figure 11 (a) and (b) show the relation that is embedded between copper cash bundle W, first pressurizing member 303 and the formpiston guide member 304 of coiling in the S of gap.As shown in the figure, on formpiston coiling guide member 304, a side of the lower surface on from top edge to installation side, form italic (taper) 304a towards formpiston guiding driving element 307.Italic 304a plays the effect that the guiding copper cash enters coiling gap S and wrap wire.Further, formpiston coiling guide member 304 has the pressure-producing part 304b of downward extruding copper cash bundle, and described copper cash bundle is introduced into coiling gap S and is being wrapped on the bossing 301a when the copper cash bundle is pushed on vertical both sides.When the copper cash bundle around the bossing 301a that is wrapped in formpiston 301 from the extruding of vertical both sides, each formpiston guiding driving element 307 moves formpiston coiling guide member 304 in the direction of arrow A.
On the contrary, shown in Fig. 8 and Fig. 9 (b), former 302 has the recess 302a of the curved surface of the bossing 301a that is formed on corresponding formpiston 301.In the center of recess 302a groove 302b is set.Groove 302b engages with centrepin 305.The recess 302a of former 302 is bigger and be set up and form the coiling gap S with even width than the bossing 301a of formpiston 301 slightly, described gap allows coiling to insert between bossing 301a and the recess 302a, as shown in Figure 8 when formpiston 301 and former 302 joints.The thickness of coiling gap S is preferably 1mm to 5mm.
As shown in Figure 6, the end place of two side that forms the recess 302a of former 302 in the vertical forms recess, and this recess forms the initial drawing opening 308 of coiling and coiling finishes drawing opening 309.In the end that just in time is positioned at the recess 302a sidewall on the coiling end drawing opening 309 one former coiling guide member 306 is set.In a similar fashion, another former coiling guide member 306 is set in the sidewall end relative with the end face of the recess 302a sidewall that forms the initial drawing opening 308 of coiling.Former coiling guide member 306 is used for extracting once more the lead that is drawn into coiling gap S owing to formpiston coiling guide member 304.Therefore, former coiling guide member 306 stretches out from the installation site on the above-mentioned recess 302a sidewall until near the bottom of coiling gap S and form italic 306a.
The lower end of former 302 is fixed on the following rotating disk 402 of coiling.A terminal 310a of current electrode is provided with near the initial drawing opening 308 of the coiling on the upper surface of rotating disk 402, and the another terminal 310b of current electrode is set near coiling end drawing opening 309.
At this, the shape of the recess 302a that forms on the former 302 is described.Fig. 9 (b) is for being arranged on the sectional view of former 302 upper recess 302a.When recess 302a engages with formpiston 301,, promptly, have the curved surface identical with the curved shape of above-mentioned contact area L with top (zone C) facing surfaces that forms semi-cylinder bossing 301a near the surface of bottom (zone C).The specific region (regional H) that makes progress continuously from this surface near bottom (zone C) has the at a certain angle broadening identical with above-mentioned non-contact area and becomes fan-shaped flat surface configuration.
The material of formpiston 301, former 302, first pressurizing member 303 and formpiston coiling guide member 304 is a metal, as Fe, Al, brass, ferroalloy and aluminium alloy.Surface by metal plating technology or rust-proofing method protection mould.This plating can be that the chromium that nickel is electroplated, sample is electroplated (copy plating) or sclerosis is electroplated.The mould of former coiling guide member 306 can be a metal, as Fe, Al, brass or comprise the metal alloy of iron.In addition, can connect the metal wire of making by Fe, Al or brass by bent metal wire.It is 1 μ m to 10 μ m that electroplating thickness is preferably formed.
Below, the manufacture method of using the magnetic excitation coil that comprises above-mentioned Winder is described.
When Winder when the origin position of Winder shown in Fig. 6 begins, formpiston 301 moves down until specific location, engages and then form coiling gap S as Fig. 7 (a) and (b) and formpiston shown in Figure 8 301 and former 302 between two moulds subsequently.In this example, coiling gap S is formed approximate 1mm to 5mm.
Next, the multi beam copper cash is introduced into coiling gap S and is wrapped in the peripheral of bossing 301a, fills up coiling gap S with copper cash, shown in Figure 10 (a).In more detail, mouth of pipe (not shown) grasps the multi beam copper cash simultaneously, and the top of copper cash is wrapped in around the current electrode 310a and is fixed.This copper cash is hooked on the initial drawing opening 308 of winding of former 302, and rotating disk 401 and 402 rotations and formpiston 301 and former 302 are in engagement state.For example, rotary speed is set to 20 to 200 rev/mins.If threading speed is greater than 200 rev/mins, mould will owing to centrifugal force vibrate and may formpiston 301 and former 302 between joint fluff and performance exerted an influence.
When rotating disk 401 and 402 begins to rotate, pile up copper cash and twine copper cash in order from the inside of coiling gap S by formpiston coiling guide member 304 and former coiling guide member 306.At this moment, when vertically twining the end of mould (formpiston 301 and former 302) by the copper cash arrival of mould coiling guide member 304 windings, italic 304a is used for the bottom squeeze copper cash to coiling gap S.Therefore, be stacked to the lead that twines in the mould and be in the stratification state in the horizontal direction, shown in Figure 11 (a) in the position relative with formpiston coiling guide member 304.On the contrary, for former coiling guide member 306, italic 306a is used for being pressed downward crowded copper cash bottom coiling gap S in place, the end raising of twining mould longitudinally.Therefore, be wrapped in the copper cash that twines on the mould and except that two ends, on vertical direction, be in the stratification state, as Figure 11 (a).
If specific winding quantity for example is 10 circles, then copper cash is from twine to finish drawing opening 309 and pull out and link to each other with another current electrode terminal 310b.Figure 10 (a) and Figure 11 (a) show the just state before the extrusion action after copper cash is wound with specific winding quantity.
When the beginning copper cash twined, the terminal 310a that links to each other with copper cash winding end linked to each other with DC power supply (not shown) with 310b.For example the specific DC electric current of 150A to 250A flow to terminal 310a and 310b with the specific time from this DC power supply, for example 1.5 seconds to 3.0 seconds.Therefore, because the Joule heat of flowing through in the copper cash makes the temperature of copper cash rise, and the resin part of melting zone, be melted as the polyimides that covers copper line surface.The heating that can use formula shown below 2 to calculate copper cash.

Shown in Figure 10 (b), after the fusing of the melting zone on the copper line surface, first pressurizing member 303 moves to the specific location (downward direction) on former 302 sides rapidly.When first pressurizing member 303 when downward direction moves, have width and be slightly less than the top pressure-producing part 303a of first pressurizing member 303 of the width of coiling gap S, slide on the side surface of the bossing 301a of the formpiston 301 that enters coiling gap S, and the extruding stratification is at the copper cash bundle of winding department every S inside.Be fused into melting zone because be included in each copper cash of copper cash bundle, so adjacent copper cash cooling is also carried out under the strong pressure that is produced on the first extrusion direction at first pressurizing member 303 and closely to be fixed, and fusing and sclerosis in this closely fixing state subsequently.Shown in Figure 11 (b), the copper cash bundle of stratification on the depth direction of coiling gap S is extruded at the equidirectional of carrying out the first direction of extruding with first pressurizing member 303.Figure 10 (b) shows the just state after the extruding action that first pressurizing member 303 is carried out.
When the first extrusion direction is carried out extruding, push 304 pairs of formpiston coiling guide members in the second extrusion direction at first pressurizing member 303 by second pressurizing member.Shown in Figure 11 (b), the extrusion parts 304b of formpiston coiling guide member 304, relative with the copper cash of the outset part of copper cash bundle W, described copper cash bundle is stratification and consistent with the depth direction of coiling gap S in the horizontal direction.Formpiston coiling guide member 304 is because formpiston guiding driving element 307 and be towards second direction (direction of formpiston 301) extruding copper cash bundle towards the result that the direction of formpiston 301 moves specified quantitative, and described copper cash bundle is sandwiched between bossing 301 a of extrusion parts 304b and formpiston.Be fused into melting zone because be included in each copper cash of copper cash bundle, so adjacent copper wire cooling is also carried out under the strong pressure that is produced on the second extrusion direction at second pressurizing member (formpiston coiling guide member 304) and closely to be fixed, and fusing and sclerosis in described closely fixing state subsequently.As Figure 11 (b), in the horizontal direction stratification and with the consistent copper cash bundle of depth direction of coiling gap S (formpiston coiling guide member 304) carried out extruding and is extruded at equidirectional in second direction because second pressurizing member.By on second direction, pushing the loop length of determining magnetic excitation coil.
At this, after just finishing excitation, preferably be set to 3 seconds or still less to the time that extruding move to begin.Therefore, after the coil block cooling, formpiston 301 moves up mobile from twining mould (formpiston 301 and former 302) until the magnetic excitation coil of origin position and formation.At this, cooling means can be a but method of natural wind cooling or air blast cooling, perhaps also can use additive method, as water-cooling method.Be preferably 20 seconds or more cooling time.
Owing to form the shape of the magnetic excitation coil 105 that forms by existing manufacture method along coil holding element 109, therefore coiling does not need to change shape so that the operation that is complementary with coil holding element 109, and then make that coiling is very reliable and be easy to processing, and because form coil regularly by melting zone in copper cash, even manual handle can not separated copper cash yet, and has good productivity.
Magnetic excitation coil 105 with respect to heat generating roller 201 direction of rotation vertically on length, removable size by formpiston coiling guide member 304 is regulated in such a manner, and described mode is that the length of heating tape 203 and heat generating roller 201 becomes the length that equals adjacent area.
Therefore, be in maximum, and the surface of heat generating roller 201 and 203 adjacent times of heating tape also are in maximum by the zone of magnetic pumping unit by the heat generating roller 201 of electromagnetic induction heating effect heating.Therefore, improved efficiency of thermal transfer.
