Today, in office equipment (OA equipment) such as copiers,
For example, a toner made of a heat-fusible resin or the like is attached to a recording material such as recording paper by electrostatic means, and the recording material is slid into contact with a heating body having an elongated shape to heat and fix the toner. A fixing device is used. For example, in a copying machine, a heating element having a heating portion having a length larger than the width of the largest recording material used in the copying machine so that the toner can be uniformly fixed on the recording materials of various sizes. Is used. Conventionally, as the fixing device, there is a fixing device including a heat roller in which a tube-shaped infrared light bulb, a rod-shaped heater, or the like is disposed as a heating source in the center of a hollow roller, and a pressure roller arranged in parallel with the heat roller. A recording material having toner adhered between the heat roller and the pressure roller is conveyed while being pressed, and the toner is heated and melted and fixed. However, in this fixing device, since the heating source is inserted into the roller, it takes time for the surface of the heat roller to generate heat to a desired temperature. As a result, preheating before fixing is necessary, and power consumption is reduced. There is a disadvantage that it becomes larger. In addition, a thermal head that does not fix a toner but generates an image such as a print by heating a recording material on which a heat-sensitive material is adhered, for example, is often used. In such a thermal head, a plurality of dot-shaped resistance heating elements are continuously provided on an elongated base body, and are formed by being covered with a glassy protective film. Electrodes are provided at both ends of each of these resistance heating elements, and wiring for energization is attached to each of the electrodes by brazing or the like. However, since the heating element for fixing the toner needs to uniformly heat the entire surface of the recording material to be brought into sliding contact, in a thermal head of this type in which the resistance heating film is formed in a dot shape, the recording material is uniformly heated. Can not be heated. Also, in this thermal head, since the resistance heating element is connected in a dot shape, the portion where the resistance heating element is formed protrudes in the thickness direction as compared with the portion where the resistance heating element is not formed, and the recording material slides. There is a problem that the surface to be formed is not a flat surface and uneven fixing occurs. Therefore, instead of a fixing device using a conventional heat roller, a long and thin linear resistance heating element along the longitudinal direction is formed on a surface of an electrically insulative elongated base made of, for example, alumina ceramic by a thick film. A fixing device using a flat-shaped fixing heating element in which a conductive terminal is formed by laminating a conductive film on the end of the linear resistance heating element has been developed. Here, in general, such a heating element for fixing is required to generate a large amount of heat in order to perform fixing at a high speed.
However, this type of fixing heating element is generally formed using a material having a low sheet resistance value so that a large current can flow because an applied voltage cannot be increased because it operates using a commercial power supply or the like as a power supply. ing. Therefore, a silver-palladium alloy having a small sheet resistance is used as a main component.

It has been found that when a large current is applied repeatedly to increase the amount of heat generated by the above-mentioned fixing heater in the form of a flat plate, repeated use may occur at the boundary between the resistance heating element and the conductive terminal. Therefore, when investigating the disconnected heating element, the temperature is high up to the vicinity of the portion where the resistance heating element and the conductive terminal are stacked, and the temperature of the conductive terminal is relatively low. Since the temperature difference, in other words, the temperature gradient at the boundary between the resistance heating element and the conductive terminal is steep, disconnection occurs due to thermal strain caused by a difference in the coefficient of thermal expansion between the resistance heating element and the conductive terminal. It was found that it was easy. As a result of the investigation by the present inventors, the inventors have found that a temperature gradient exists from the resistance heating element to the conductive terminal, and that the thermal strain is increased due to the large temperature gradient. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a fixing heating element, a fixing device, and office equipment that can reduce disconnection that easily occurs between a resistance heating element and a conductive terminal.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. FIG. 1 is a partially cutaway front view showing an embodiment of the fixing heating element of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a longitudinal longitudinal sectional view also partially cut away, and FIG. FIG. 5 is a longitudinal sectional view taken in the longitudinal direction. 2 and 3 illustrate the resistance heating element and the like in an enlarged manner in the thickness direction. In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes an electrically insulating base made of, for example, alumina ceramics, 2 denotes a resistance heating element provided on the base 1, and 3 denotes a glassy protective film covering the resistance heating element 2. The substrate 1 is an elongated flat plate having a length of about 300 mm, a width of about 10 mm, and a thickness of about 1.5 mm. Reference numeral 4 denotes a glaze layer formed between the base 1 and the resistance heating element 2. The glaze layer 4 is a vitreous layer having a chemical composition of PbO.B 2 O 3 .SiO 2 , has a thickness of 30 to 150 μm on the surface of the substrate 1, and has a characteristic of low thermal conductivity. The resistance heating element 2 is formed by printing a resistance paste containing a silver-palladium alloy as a main component on the surface of the glaze layer 4 by a screen printing method and then firing the same. An elongated heating part 21 is formed at the center of the resistance heating element.
Wide portions 23, 23 are formed at both ends. In FIG. 3, the boundary between the heat generating portion 21 and the wide portion 23 is indicated by a virtual boundary line B.
Conductive terminals 24, 24 are formed on the surfaces of the wide portions 23, 23. The conductive terminals 24, 24 are formed by printing a conductive paste containing silver as a main component by a screen printing method and then firing the paste. Then, the vitreous protective film 3 is covered over the entire width of the base 1 continuously from the heat generating portion 21 to the wide portions 23, 23. The heating element for fixing of the above embodiment is incorporated in a fixing device, and further incorporated in well-known office equipment such as a copying machine. Next, the operation of the present embodiment will be described. In this fixing heater, the heat generating portion 21 and the conductive terminals 24, 24 are electrically connected through the wide portions 23, 23 in which the current density is smaller than that of the heat generating portion 21 and the amount of generated heat is relatively suppressed. Therefore, the temperature gradient between the heat generating portion 21 and the conductive terminals 24, 24 becomes gentle, and the occurrence of disconnection that is easily induced by thermal strain can be reduced. Further, in the present embodiment, since the heat generating portion 21 and a part of the wide portions 23, 23 are covered with the vitreous protective layer 3, heat conduction occurs through the protective layer, and the heat generating portion 21 and the wide portion 23 are formed. , 23 are alleviated, and the temperature gradient between the heat generating portion 21 and the conductive terminals 24, 24 becomes gentler by passing through the wide portions 23, 23. Thus, the thermal strain at the boundary between the heat generating portion 21 and the conductive terminals 24, 24 is further reduced, and the disconnection can be reduced. Here, in order to confirm this effect, a disconnection test was performed on the fixing heating body of the present embodiment. In the test, a voltage of 140 V is applied between the conductive terminals 24, 24, and a pulse current of 50 Hz is applied for one hour to check for disconnection. The power consumption of the fixing heater in this test was about 400W
Becomes For comparison, a similar test was also performed on a conventional fixing heating element in which a conductive terminal was directly connected to a heat generating portion and only this heat generating portion was covered with a vitreous protective layer. The results of this test are shown in the following table. Note that the fixing heating element of the present embodiment is provided on the surface of the base 1.
Since the vitreous glaze layer 4 having the composition of PbO.B 2 O 3 .SiO 2 is provided, the heat of the heat generating portion 21 is hard to be transmitted to the alumina ceramic base 1 with good heat conduction, and therefore, the heat efficiency is high and the start-up time is reduced. There is an advantage that the rise is fast. If the thickness of the glaze layer 4 is less than 30 μm, there is no effect.
It was also found that if the thickness exceeds 150 μm, disconnection increases and it is inappropriate.

According to the first aspect of the present invention, the current density is reduced with respect to the heat generating portion, and the heat generating portion and the conductive terminal are electrically connected to each other through the wide portion which does not generate excessive heat. The temperature gradient between the portion and the conductive terminal is moderated, and the occurrence of disconnection easily induced by thermal strain can be reduced. Furthermore, heat conduction is caused by the glass protective layer covering at least a part of the wide portion and the heat generating portion, so that the temperature imbalance between the heat generating portion and the wide portion or the conductive terminal is reduced. As a result, the temperature gradient between the heat generating portion and the conductive terminal eventually becomes gentler. Therefore, it is possible to provide a fixing heating element in which thermal distortion at the boundary between the heat generating portion of the resistance heating element and the conductive terminal is reduced and disconnection is less likely to occur. According to the second aspect of the present invention, it is possible to provide a fixing device capable of reducing disconnection of the fixing heating element and reducing defective fixing by the operation of the fixing heating element according to the first aspect. According to the third aspect of the invention, it is possible to provide office equipment having the same effects as the fixing device according to the second aspect.
