(産業上の利用分野)
本発明は、絶縁性基板上の電極間に複数の抵抗発熱体を
形成した印刷ヒータに関する。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Object of the Invention (Field of Industrial Application)] The present invention relates to a printed heater in which a plurality of resistance heating elements are formed between electrodes on an insulating substrate.

抵抗発熱体とから構成されている。(Prior Art) As is well known, a printing heater for fixing is used in a copying machine. This printed heater usually consists of an insulating substrate, two electrodes formed facing each other on this substrate, and one resistance heating element formed between these electrodes so as to be connected to the electrodes. has been done.
こうした印刷ヒータは、下記の問題点を有する。Such printing heaters have the following problems.
■使用中に抵抗発熱体が部分的に欠落した場合、発熱体
の幅がその欠落部分で減少する。従って、抵抗値が他の
正常な発熱体部分に比べて大きくなり、全体に均一な電
流が流れることから抵抗値の高い所程発熱が大きくなる
。その結果、消耗劣化が生じて断線2機能停止となる恐
れがある。■If a part of the resistance heating element is missing during use, the width of the heating element will be reduced by the missing part. Therefore, the resistance value is larger than that of other normal heating element parts, and since a uniform current flows throughout the heat generating element, the higher the resistance value, the more heat is generated. As a result, wear and tear may occur, leading to disconnection and failure of the function.
■断線による機能停止以前でも部分的発熱で均一な加熱
ができなくなるため、例えば上記印刷ヒータを複写機の
定着ヒータに適用した場合、定着機能が十分働くなり、
実用上使用できなくなる。■ Even before the function stops due to a disconnection, uniform heating cannot be achieved due to partial heat generation. For example, if the above printing heater is applied to the fusing heater of a copying machine, the fusing function will not work properly.
It becomes unusable for practical purposes.
■1つの抵抗発熱体では電源電圧や定格容量の変更に対
応が困難である。■It is difficult to respond to changes in power supply voltage and rated capacity with a single resistance heating element.

ヒータを提供することを目的とする。(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and by arranging a plurality of resistance heating elements in parallel between the electrodes, the function is achieved by partially missing the resistance heating elements. It is an object of the present invention to provide a printing heater that can avoid stopping.

とする印刷ヒータである。[Configuration of the Invention (Means and Effects for Solving the Problems) The present invention provides an insulating substrate, two electrodes formed on the substrate and facing each other, and an insulating substrate arranged in parallel on the substrate and between the electrodes. This is a printing heater characterized by comprising a plurality of resistive heating elements.

Even if the missing portion becomes disconnected, the remaining resistance heating elements arranged in parallel generate heat normally, so that uniform heat generation can be achieved as a whole.
(実施例) 以下、本発明の一実施例を第1図を参照して説明する。(Example) An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIG.
図中の1は、絶縁性基板としてのアルミナ基板である。1 in the figure is an alumina substrate as an insulating substrate.
この基板1上には、例えば銅粉末を主体とした2つの電

Three resistance heating elements 3a and 3br3C, mainly made of ruthenium oxide, platinum, etc., are connected in parallel to the electrodes.

が生じにくい。According to the above embodiment, three resistance heating elements 3a, 3b, and 3c are connected to the electrodes in parallel and formed between the electrodes 2a and 2b. Therefore, the resistance heating element 3a
If a partial break occurs in any of the resistance heating elements ~3c, that resistance heating element temporarily generates large local heat, and even if the missing part becomes disconnected, the remaining two resistance heating elements Since heat is generated normally, uniform heat generation is obtained as a whole. Furthermore, in the above embodiment, since the plurality of resistance heating elements are arranged in parallel on the insulating substrate in a spaced manner, the resistance heating elements are less likely to be affected by the heat of each other, and therefore temperature deterioration of the resistance heating elements is less likely to occur.
なお、上記実施例では、電極間に3本の抵抗発熱体を形
