Fig. 3 is the 1st flow chart of the action of the image processing system 10 that the 1st embodiment is described.
As it is shown on figure 3, when starting series of actions, in initial step S10, control device 500 and pass according to temperature The temperature of the fixing device 300 that sensor 330 is detected carrys out prognostic chart picture with the temperature of the environment being provided with image processing system 10 Form the temperature of the fixing device cap 18 of apparatus main body 12.
When the temperature using the environment being provided with image processing system 10 carrys out the temperature of preliminary assay image device cap 18, example As the environment maximum temperature of the action that can guarantee that image processing system 10 can be used to be used as being provided with image processing system 10 The temperature of environment.It addition, the resistance change brought according to the temperature of transfer roll constituting transfer device 130 can be used and pre- The temperature near transfer device 130 surveyed, as the temperature of the environment being provided with image processing system 10.It addition, be provided with In the case of environment temperature sensor 540, the temperature that environment temperature sensor 540 is detected can be formed as being provided with image The temperature of the environment of device 10 uses.
In step slo, control device 500 to suppose to flow into the heat of fixing device cap 18 with fixed from fixing device 300 The temperature difference of image device 300 and fixing device cap 18 heat proportional, that go out from the outside air-flow of fixing device cap 18 is with fixed Image device cap 18 and exogenous QI temperature proportional, carry out the temperature of preliminary assay image device cap 18.That is, when by fixing device cap 18 Predicted temperature be set to Tc, the temperature just predict of fixing device cap 18 be set to Tc1, by the heating roller 302 of mensuration Temperature is set to Tr, is that outer temperature is set to Tair, h1, h2 is set respectively by the temperature being provided with the environment of image processing system 10 During for proportionality constant, control device 500 and carry out the temperature of preliminary assay image device cap 18 according to below formula.
Tc=Tc1+h1X (Tr-Tc1)-h2 × (Tc1-Tair)
Here, h1, h2 as proportionality constant such as can be according to the transporting velocity of sheet material, the sizes of the sheet material forming image Or whether carry out the value after image formation etc. suitably uses change in the moment of prediction.
In next step S12, control device 500 and differentiate the image processing system main body 12 predicted in step slo Whether the temperature of fixing device cap 18 exceedes predetermined set point of temperature.Here, it is considered to the material of image processing system main body 12 Or whether fixing device cap 18 is the exposed to contact position of operator etc., determine predetermined temperature.When in this step S12 It is determined as the temperature of fixing device cap 18 when exceeding predetermined set point of temperature, enters step S20, when being determined as fixing device lid When the temperature in portion 18 is not above predetermined set point of temperature, enter step S30.
In step S20, control device 500 and reduce the temperature of fixing device 300 by controlling heater 310.
In next step S22, such as while reducing the temperature of fixing device 300 in step S20, control motor 420 speed reducing fixing device 300 feeding sheets.In this step S22, because reducing fixing device 300 feeding sheets Speed, so compared with the situation of the speed not reducing sheet material, the heat supplying the per unit area of sheet material increases. Therefore, even if reducing the temperature of heater 310 in step S20, it is also difficult to produce the developing agent picture caused owing to heat is not enough Fixing bad on sheet material.
In next step S30, control device 500 controls image forming part 100 makes image forming part 100 form developing agent Picture.The developing agent picture formed by image forming part 100 is transferred on sheet material by transfer device 130, and it is fixed to be fixed device 300 Shadow is on sheet material.Then, the sheet material after toner image being made fixing by fixing device 300 via distributing roller 404 to discharge portion 16 discharge.
In next step S40, control device 500 and differentiate one according to the view data inputted via communication interface 504 Whether consecutive processes is the process relevant to last view data, if being determined as is last view data, enters step S100, if being determined as is not last view data, returns step S10.
In the step s 100, controlling device 500 makes storage device 520 store by temperature sensor 330 under prescribed conditions The temperature of the fixing device 300 measured and the fixing device cap 18 of the image processing system main body 12 in the prediction of step S10 Temperature.
So, in image processing system 10, the period of the image in forming step S30 does not make storage device 520 deposit Storage data, make storage device 520 store data in the period being formed without image.Therefore, motor-driven or high voltage power supply this The electric noise that the accompanying image of sample is formed does not brings baneful influence to storage device write data.
Fig. 4 is the 2nd flow chart of the action of the image processing system 10 that the 1st embodiment is described, illustrates shown in Fig. 3 The flow chart of the details of step S100.
As shown in Figure 4, when starting step S100, control device 500 differentiates in step s 102 to be predicted in step slo The temperature of fixing device cap 18 of image processing system main body 12 whether be below predetermined limit temperature.Then, when in advance When the temperature of the fixing device cap 18 surveyed is more than predetermined limit temperature, controls device 500 and make storage device 520 storage be surveyed The temperature of fixed fixing device 300 and the temperature of the fixing device cap 18 of prediction.
On the other hand, when the temperature of the fixing device cap 18 of prediction is below predetermined limit temperature, device is controlled 500 do not make storage device 520 store the temperature of the fixing device 300 measured and the temperature of the fixing device cap 18 of prediction Data and terminate a series of process.So, limit the temperature of fixing device 300 measured and prediction according to temperature The temperature of fixing device cap 18 again carry out situation about storing to storage device 520, it is possible to suppression due to repeatedly to The storage device 520 that storage device 520 stores data and causes deteriorates.
, after reclosing power supply after becoming the state cut off the electricity supply, in order to prognostic chart is as forming apparatus main body 12 The temperature of fixing device cap 18, and use the mensuration temperature storing the fixing device 300 that device 520 is recorded in step S104 The temperature of the fixing device cap 18 of degree and prediction.That is, after reclosing power supply after becoming the state cut off the electricity supply, control Device 500 uses and stores the temperature of the fixing device 300 that device 520 is stored and store the fixing device that device 520 is stored The predicted temperature of cap 18 carrys out the temperature of preliminary assay image device cap 18.
As it has been described above, in step slo, for the temperature of preliminary assay image device cap 18, and use that has just predicted to determine The temperature of image device cap 18 i.e. Tc1.This when switch on power cut off the electricity supply afterwards because temperature sensor 330 nothing Method measures the temperature of fixing device 300, so there is not the temperature i.e. Tc1 of the fixing device cap 18 just predicted.Therefore, exist After switching on power, control mensuration temperature and the storage dress of the fixing device 300 that device 500 uses storage device 520 to be stored The predicted temperature putting the 520 fixing device caps 18 stored carrys out the temperature of preliminary assay image device cap 18.
Now, it is assumed that the ratio reduced relative to ambient temperature at the period fixing device 300 cut off the electricity supply and fixing dress The temperature putting cap 18 is identical relative to the ratio that ambient temperature reduces, and controls the temperature of device 500 preliminary assay image device cap 18 Degree.That is, when the predicted temperature of fixing device cap 18 being set to Tc, the storage fixing device cap 18 that stored of device 520 Predicted temperature is set to Tc2, is that outer temperature is set to Tair, will connect by the temperature being provided with the environment of image processing system 10 The temperature of the fixing device of the chronometry of power supply is set to Tr, the temperature storing the fixing device that device 520 is stored is set to During Tr2, control device 500 and carry out the temperature of preliminary assay image device cap 18 according to below formula.
Tc=(Tc2-Tair) × [(Tr-Tair)/(Tr2-Tair)]
Here, the temperature utilizing above formula to predict can be applied certain correction and carry out the temperature of preliminary assay image device cap 18. That is, when corrected value is set to A, the temperature of preliminary assay image device cap 18 can be carried out according to below formula.
Tc=(Tc2-Tair) × [(Tr-Tair)/(Tr2-Tair)]+A
Here, because the temperature difference of fixing device 300 and ambient temperature is more than fixing device cap 18 and ambient temperature Temperature difference, so corrected value A allows for the speed temperature more than fixing device cap 18 of the temperature reduction of fixing device 300 The situation of speed reduced and the value determined.
The image processing system 10 of the 1st embodiment described above, the image in step S30 is formed dynamic as shown in Figure 3 In work, storage device 520 is not made to store the predicted temperature etc. of fixing device cap 18, in step after image formation terminates S100 make storage device 520 store the predicted temperature etc. of fixing device cap 18.Therefore, formed when the image in step S30 During the situation that middle generation is cut off the electricity supply, after storing the predicted temperature of fixing device cap 18 of storage device 520 storage, Even if the predicted temperature of fixing device cap 18 rises, storage device 520 is not the most made to store the fixing device cap 18 of this rising Temperature.
