Description

  The present invention relates to an induction heat roller device.

In heat treatment rollers such as induction heat generation rollers that have induction coils placed inside the hollow of the roller body and rollers that allow thermal fluid to flow through the hollow of the roller body, a temperature detector is placed within the thickness of the roller and the temperature is detected. In some cases, the surface temperature of the roller is maintained at a predetermined temperature by controlling the current flowing through the induction coil and the temperature of the thermal fluid based on the roller surface temperature detection signal detected by the vessel. In this case, the roller surface temperature detection signal detected by the temperature detector is sent to a temperature control device arranged on the ground side, that is, the fixed side, via a rotary transformer installed in the journal of the roller. Electric power to the temperature detector and the like arranged on the rotating side is supplied from an AC power source arranged on the fixed side via a rotating transformer.

  However, in the configuration in which the detection signal of the temperature detector is arranged on the rotating side and sent to the temperature control device on the fixed side via the rotating transformer, the transmission accuracy of the rotating transformer can be used even if a temperature detector with high detection accuracy is used. The variation of the roller surface temperature cannot be kept within ± 0.1 ° C.

The problem to be solved by the present invention is to improve the accuracy of the surface temperature of the induction heating roller, simplify the wiring around the induction heating roller, and eliminate such problems.

An induction heating roller device comprising a circuit and an induction coil that is disposed in the hollow of the roller and generates heat to the roller, and a power generation coil that electromagnetically couples with the induction coil to induce power is attached to the roller The main feature is that the power induced by the power generating coil is supplied to the conversion transmission circuit.

  According to the present invention, the detection signal of the temperature detector is converted into a high-precision digital signal on the rotation side of the roller and wirelessly transmitted to the fixed-side temperature control device, so that a highly accurate temperature detection signal can be obtained. As a result, the accuracy of the surface temperature of the induction heating roller can be increased. Moreover, since the electric power generated on the rotation side is supplied to the temperature detector and the conversion transmission circuit arranged on the rotation side using the induction coil, the wiring around the induction heating roller can be greatly simplified. In addition, it does not require the rotary transformer required to send the detection signal of the temperature detector to the temperature control device on the fixed side, or to supply power to the temperature detector arranged on the rotation side or the conversion transmission circuit. The heating roller device is simplified, and the labor required for assembling the induction heating roller device can be reduced. Furthermore, the temperature control device can be independently arranged at an arbitrary position regardless of the arrangement position of the rollers.

  In order to increase the accuracy of the surface temperature of the induction heating roller and simplify the wiring around the induction heating roller, the temperature detector installed within the thickness of the roller and the detection signal of the temperature detector as a digital signal Converted and wirelessly transmitted to a temperature control device arranged outside the roller, and induced by a power generation coil that generates power by electromagnetically coupling with an induction coil to a temperature detector or signal conversion transmission circuit installed on the roller Realized by supplying
