Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、転写材上に担持された未定着のトナー像を加熱により定着させる定着装置を有する画像形成装置に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
一般に、電子写真複写機やプリンタなどの各種画像形成装置において用いられる定着装置は、中空ローラからなる定着ローラと、この定着ローラに圧接された加圧手段としての加圧ローラとを有しており、これら両ローラの圧接領域であるニップ部に、未定着トナー像が形成された転写材が通される際に、上記定着ローラの内部に配置されたハロゲンヒータ等からなる加熱源によって、転写材上の未定着トナー像が加熱され定着されるようになっている。
【0003】
ところが、近年、画像形成装置は、抵コスト化、そして、ウォーミングアップ時間の短縮と省エネルギー化が求められている。しかし、上記一般的な熱ローラ定着装置は加圧ローラを用いているため、高価で、かつ大きな設置スペースを必要とする。また、ウォーミングアップ短縮のため定着ローラ芯金の薄肉化を行なったとき、加圧ローラによる定着ローラのたわみ等の変形が問題で大きなニップを取ることができないという問題があった。
【0004】
さらに、加圧ローラを使用すると定着ローラの熱が、より熱容量の大きい加圧ローラへ放散し、画像形成可能になるまでのウォーミングアップ時間が長くなり、それにかかる消費電力も多くなるという問題もあった。
【0005】
このような問題を軽減するものとして、定着ローラに押圧部材としての静止状態の無端状または端部を固定したベルトを面接触させ、定着ローラとベルトの間に未定着トナーを担持した転写材を通紙するようにして定着させる定着装置が開示されている(下記、特許文献1,特許文献2及び特許文献3参照。)。
【0006】
これら定着ローラと静止ベルトで構成される定着装置は、上記した問題をすべて軽減することができ、極めて有利である。

【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかし、この方式においては、定着ローラとのニップ部位の移動がないため、加圧ローラを用いた定着方式に比べて、連続して小さなサイズの転写材を用いて、加熱定着動作を行なった場合、転写材を介していない端部の非通紙部の加熱体の温度が、転写材を介している部分より高くなる、いわゆる非通紙部昇温がひどくなり、高温オフセットなどの定着不良を生じやすい。特に薄肉化定着ローラにおいては、この傾向が顕著である。
【0009】
本発明の目的は、上記静止状態のベルトを用いた定着装置において、非通紙部昇温を緩和し、良好な定着画像を得ることのできる定着装置を提供することにある。
【0010】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明は、上記課題を解決するために以下(1)〜(4)の構成を備える。
【0011】
(1)定着ローラに押圧部材としての静止状態の無端状または端部を固定したベルトを面接触させ、定着ローラとベルトの間に未定着トナーを担持した転写材を通紙して定着を行なう定着装置において、前記静止状態のベルトの裏側から、前記定着ローラとのニップ部に沿って熱伝導率が高い熱伝導性部材を備えている事を特徴とする定着装置。
【0012】
(2)上記定着装置は、画像形成の際に通紙する転写材の幅に応じて、前記高熱伝導性部材を接離可能に制御する制御機構を備えている事を特徴とする上記(1)に記載の定着装置。
【0013】
(3)上記定着装置の高熱伝導性部材は、前記静止状態のベルトの裏側から、前記定着ローラとのニップ部に沿って、前記定着ローラの長手方向両端部側に規定の転写材幅より外側に相当する位置にのみ当接されていることを特徴とする上記(2)に記載の定着装置。
【0014】
(4)上記定着装置の高熱伝導性部材は、金属のロール状または板状のもので、前記ベルトとの接触面には、熱伝導性の高いゴム材を備えていることを特徴とする上記(1)ないし(3)のいずれかに記載の定着装置。
【0015】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下に本発明の実施の形態を、実施例に基づいて図面を参照しながら説明する。
【0016】
【実施例1】
以下に、本発明における定着装置について説明する。図1は、本発明における定着装置である。内部にヒータ2を内蔵する定着ローラ1とこの定着ローラ1に圧接して幅広いニップを形成する静止ベルト3が設けられている。
【0017】
前記定着ローラは、アルミ、鉄等のパイプ材よりなる薄肉定着ローラ1(芯金厚み0.4mm表面層に15〜30μm程度の半導電性10〜1012Ω・cmのフッ素樹脂をコートしている)とこれに圧接される押圧部材としてのベルト3とを有し、定着ローラ1は表面にテフロン(R)(商品名)等の耐熱離型性材料からなる離型層が形成されている。定着ローラ1の内部には熱源としてのハロゲンヒータ2が設けられ、表面には定着ローラ1への転写材の巻き付きを防止する分離爪7当接されている。この分離爪7は耐熱性の樹脂カバーに固定され、定着ローラ1に当接されている。上記ベルト3は、耐熱性を有し、かつ低摩擦係数のものが要求される。本定着装置には、テフロン(R)(商品名)シート、またはポリイミドシートの上にテフロン(R)コートしたシート、さらにはポリイミドシート等の耐熱性シートの上にテフロン(R)シートを貼り付けた接着した複合シート。ガラス繊維等の耐熱繊維で作られた布にテフロン(R)コートしたシート、耐熱繊維をシリコーンゴムやフッ素ゴム等の耐熱ゴムで固め、さらに、その上にテフロン(R)コート、あるいは、テフロン(R)シートを接着したもの、あるいは、多穴質フッ素樹脂であるポアフロンやゴアテックス(商品名)等を用いることが可能である。特に多穴質フッ素樹脂であるポアフロンやゴアテックス(商品名)を用いる通気性があるためニップ部内での水蒸気発生による画像乱れやしわの発生を防止する効果があり望ましい。そして、ベルト3の一端は、ガイド板に固定されている。他端は、回転可能なベルト支持棒8により方向が変わり、板金に接着され、この板金を引っ張りバネ6が引っ張ってベルト3を一定の張力で引っ張っている。
【0018】
上記ベルト3の裏側からは、ベルト3と定着ローラ1による長手方向のニップ部に沿って、高い熱伝導性をもつ熱伝導性部材4がバネ加圧による支持体により当接されている。ここでは、熱伝導性部材4として、厚さ10mmのニップ形状に沿ったアルミを用い、さらにベルト3との密着性を確保するために、アルミ表面のベルト3裏側と接触する部分には、シリコーンゴムにフィラーとして金属を分散させたものを弾性層として接着した。このとき、熱伝導性部材4としては、熱伝導率が200(W/m・k)以上の材料を用いる事が好ましく、弾性層にも本実施例では、熱伝導率が1.6(W/m/k)のシリコーンゴムに、金属のフィラーを分散し、更に熱伝導率を高めたゴム層を使用した。
【0019】
本定着装置により、トナー像ののったA4縦サイズの転写紙材を28ppm、プロセススピード135mm/secのスピードで連続100枚通紙定着を行ない、端部の温度の測定を行なった。上記熱伝導性部材4がない場合、定着ローラ1中央の通紙域は、定着動作中は180℃に制御されており、非通紙域は転写材による吸熱がないために、通常は通紙域に比べて昇温してしまい、100枚通紙後には230℃まで定着ローラ1表面温度が上昇した。熱伝導性部材を装着した装置において、100枚通紙後においても、定着ローラ1端部は、198℃の温度上昇にとどめる事ができた。さらにその後に、A4横サイズの通紙を行なったが、端部昇温による高温オフセット等の定着不良画像は見られなかった。
【0020】
本構成により、非通紙域の過昇温部の熱を定着ローラ長手方向に均一化することができ、小サイズ紙の連続通紙による端部昇温、通紙域の温度をならすことで、安定した定着画像を得ることができた。また、この構成を静止状態のベルトを用いて定着する定着装置において行なうことで、ベルト上の熱の移動が少ないために、通常の回転体の加圧部材の定着装置で行なうより、更なる効果を得ることができる。
【0021】
【実施例2】
本実施例における概略図を図2に示した。本実施例では、上記実施例1の系において、熱伝導性部材4を小サイズ紙、ここでは、A4縦の転写材よりも小さい幅の場合に、制御駆動により、接離可能とした。制御駆動の概略図を図3に示した。熱伝導性部材4に接続された板金9を、カム10が回転制御されることにより、ベルト3と熱伝導性部材4の接離を行なった。ここでは、カム10は、A4縦サイズ以上の検知がある場合には、軸を介したクラッチが作動することにより回転制御され板金9を押す。板金9に接続された熱伝導性部材4は、加圧バネ圧に逆らい離れた状態に保たれる。A4縦サイズ以上の幅の転写材の通紙時に、ベルト3裏側から熱伝導性部材4の接触があると、定着に必要な熱を得るための時間や、熱量が通常よりも多くかかってしまう場合があるが、本構成により、小サイズ紙以外の定着時には、熱伝導性部材4の熱移動がなく、小サイズ紙の定着時には、熱導電性部材4による熱移動があり、実施例1よりも転写材のサイズにあった定着制御が行なえた。また、この構成を静止状態のベルトを用いて定着する定着装置において行なうことで、ベルト上の熱の移動が少ないために、通常の回転体の加圧部材の定着装置で行なうより、更なる効果を得ることができる。
【0022】
【実施例3】
本実施例では、上記実施例1の構成の熱伝導性部材4を、定着ローラ1とベルト3の長手方向のニップに沿った、A4縦サイズ幅の通紙域外の両端部にのみ当接させた。さらに上記実施例2のA4縦サイズ幅の転写材の通紙時のみ、上記制御機能を作動させた。本実施例の概略図を図4に示す。これにより、小サイズ紙通紙時には両端部の熱伝導性部材4の放熱により、端部昇温を発生させる事がなく、良好な定着を行なえた。本実施例では更に、熱伝導性部材4の一端を定着器本体の板金に接触させる事により、熱を本体にも移動させ、更なる効果を得られた。また、この構成を静止状態のベルトを用いて定着する定着装置において行なうことで、ベルト上の熱の移動が少ないために、通常の回転体の加圧部材の定着装置で行なうより、更なる効果を得ることができる。

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an image forming apparatus having a fixing device that fixes an unfixed toner image carried on a transfer material by heating.
[0002]
[Prior art]
2. Description of the Related Art Generally, a fixing device used in various image forming apparatuses such as an electrophotographic copying machine and a printer includes a fixing roller including a hollow roller and a pressure roller as a pressing unit pressed against the fixing roller. When a transfer material on which an unfixed toner image is formed is passed through a nip portion, which is a pressure contact area between these two rollers, a transfer source such as a halogen heater disposed inside the fixing roller is used to transfer the transfer material. The upper unfixed toner image is heated and fixed.
[0003]
However, in recent years, there has been a demand for an image forming apparatus that has a low cost, a reduced warm-up time, and energy saving. However, since the above-described general heat roller fixing device uses a pressure roller, it is expensive and requires a large installation space. Further, when the thickness of the fixing roller core metal is reduced to shorten the warming-up, there is a problem that deformation such as bending of the fixing roller due to the pressing roller is a problem, and a large nip cannot be obtained.
[0004]
Further, when the pressure roller is used, heat of the fixing roller is dissipated to the pressure roller having a larger heat capacity, so that a warm-up time until an image can be formed becomes longer, and there is also a problem that power consumption increases. .
[0005]
As a measure to alleviate such a problem, a stationary endless or a belt having an end fixed as a pressing member is brought into surface contact with the fixing roller, and a transfer material carrying unfixed toner is fixed between the fixing roller and the belt. Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open Nos. HEI 11-32568, H11, and H08-32904 disclose a fixing device that fixes a paper as it passes.
[0006]
The fixing device including the fixing roller and the stationary belt can reduce all of the above problems, and is extremely advantageous.

However, in this method, since the nip portion does not move with the fixing roller, the heat fixing operation is continuously performed using a transfer material of a small size as compared with the fixing method using the pressure roller. However, the temperature of the heating element in the non-sheet passing portion at the end not passing through the transfer material becomes higher than that in the portion passing through the transfer material. Easy to occur. This tendency is particularly remarkable in a thinner fixing roller.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described based on examples with reference to the drawings.
[0016]
Embodiment 1
Hereinafter, the fixing device according to the present invention will be described. FIG. 1 shows a fixing device according to the present invention. A fixing roller 1 having a built-in heater 2 therein and a stationary belt 3 which is in pressure contact with the fixing roller 1 to form a wide nip are provided.
[0017]
The fixing roller is a thin fixing roller 1 made of a pipe material such as aluminum or iron (a 0.4 mm core metal surface layer is coated with a semiconductive 10 5 to 10 12 Ω · cm fluororesin of about 15 to 30 μm). ) And a belt 3 as a pressing member pressed against the fixing roller 1. The fixing roller 1 has a release layer formed of a heat-resistant release material such as Teflon (R) (trade name) on the surface. I have. A halogen heater 2 as a heat source is provided inside the fixing roller 1, and a separation claw 7 for preventing the transfer material from winding around the fixing roller 1 is abutted on the surface. The separation claw 7 is fixed to a heat-resistant resin cover and is in contact with the fixing roller 1. The belt 3 is required to have heat resistance and a low friction coefficient. In this fixing device, a Teflon (R) sheet is pasted on a Teflon (R) sheet, a sheet coated with Teflon (R) on a polyimide sheet, or a heat-resistant sheet such as a polyimide sheet. Bonded composite sheet. Teflon (R) coated sheet made of cloth made of heat-resistant fiber such as glass fiber, heat-resistant fiber is hardened with heat-resistant rubber such as silicone rubber or fluoro rubber, and then Teflon (R) coat or Teflon ( R) A sheet to which a sheet is adhered, or a polyporous fluororesin such as Poeflon or Gore-Tex (trade name) can be used. In particular, since there is air permeability using Poreflon or Gore-Tex (trade name) which are polyporous fluororesins, it is desirable because it has an effect of preventing image disturbance and wrinkles due to generation of water vapor in the nip portion. One end of the belt 3 is fixed to a guide plate. The other end is changed in direction by a rotatable belt support rod 8 and is adhered to a sheet metal, and a tension spring 6 pulls the sheet metal to pull the belt 3 with a constant tension.
[0018]
From the back side of the belt 3, a heat conductive member 4 having high heat conductivity is brought into contact with a support member by spring pressing along a longitudinal nip portion between the belt 3 and the fixing roller 1. Here, as the heat conductive member 4, aluminum along a nip shape having a thickness of 10 mm is used. Further, in order to secure adhesion to the belt 3, a portion of the aluminum surface which is in contact with the back side of the belt 3 is made of silicone. A rubber in which a metal was dispersed as a filler was adhered as an elastic layer. At this time, it is preferable to use a material having a thermal conductivity of 200 (W / m · k) or more as the thermal conductive member 4. In the present embodiment, the thermal conductivity of the thermal conductive member 4 is 1.6 (W / m · k). / M / k), a rubber layer in which a metal filler was dispersed in silicone rubber and the thermal conductivity was further increased was used.
[0019]
With this fixing device, 100 sheets of A4 vertical transfer paper material on which a toner image was deposited were continuously passed and fixed at a process speed of 135 mm / sec at 28 ppm, and the temperature of the end portion was measured. When the heat conductive member 4 is not provided, the paper passing area at the center of the fixing roller 1 is controlled at 180 ° C. during the fixing operation, and the non-paper passing area has no heat absorption by the transfer material. The temperature of the fixing roller 1 increased to 230 ° C. after 100 sheets were passed. In the apparatus equipped with the heat conductive member, the temperature at the end of the fixing roller 1 could be kept at 198 ° C. even after 100 sheets were passed. Further, after that, when A4 landscape size paper was passed, no defective fixing image such as a high-temperature offset due to a rise in temperature at the end was observed.
[0020]
With this configuration, the heat of the overheating portion in the non-sheet passing area can be made uniform in the longitudinal direction of the fixing roller. Thus, a stable fixed image could be obtained. Further, when this configuration is performed in a fixing device that fixes using a belt in a stationary state, heat transfer on the belt is small. Can be obtained.
[0021]
Embodiment 2
FIG. 2 shows a schematic diagram in this embodiment. In the present embodiment, in the system of the first embodiment, when the heat conductive member 4 has a width smaller than that of a small-sized paper, in this case, an A4 vertical transfer material, the heat conductive member 4 can be brought into and away by control driving. FIG. 3 shows a schematic diagram of the control drive. The belt 10 and the heat conductive member 4 were moved toward and away from the sheet metal 9 connected to the heat conductive member 4 by controlling the rotation of the cam 10. Here, when there is a detection of A4 vertical size or more, the rotation of the cam 10 is controlled by operating the clutch via the shaft, and the cam 10 pushes the sheet metal 9. The heat conductive member 4 connected to the sheet metal 9 is kept away from the pressing spring pressure. If the heat conductive member 4 comes into contact with the back side of the belt 3 when a transfer material having a width equal to or larger than the A4 vertical size is passed, the time required to obtain the heat required for fixing and the amount of heat will be longer than usual. In some cases, however, according to this configuration, the heat conductive member 4 does not move when fixing paper other than the small-sized paper, and there is heat transfer due to the heat conductive member 4 when fixing small-sized paper. Also, the fixing control suitable for the size of the transfer material could be performed. Further, when this configuration is performed in a fixing device that fixes using a belt in a stationary state, heat transfer on the belt is small. Can be obtained.
[0022]
Embodiment 3
In the present embodiment, the heat conductive member 4 having the configuration of the first embodiment is brought into contact only with both ends of the fixing roller 1 and the belt 3 outside the sheet passing area of A4 vertical size along the longitudinal nip. Was. Further, the control function was operated only when the transfer material having the A4 vertical size width in Example 2 was passed. FIG. 4 shows a schematic diagram of this embodiment. As a result, when the small-size paper is passed, heat is not dissipated from the heat conductive members 4 at both ends, so that temperature rise at the end does not occur, and satisfactory fixing can be performed. Further, in this embodiment, by bringing one end of the heat conductive member 4 into contact with the sheet metal of the fixing device main body, heat is also transferred to the main body, and a further effect is obtained. Further, when this configuration is performed in a fixing device that fixes using a belt in a stationary state, heat transfer on the belt is small. Can be obtained.
