具である。By narrowing the ends of the rollers in this manner, the bearing 8 and gear 7 can be made smaller. A resin bush 10 for insulation and heat insulation is inserted between the core metal 18A of the fixing roller and the bearing 8 made of a conductive metal ball bearing. This bush is formed of polyphenyl sulfide to have a volume resistance of 1014 Ωcm or more, and is configured to provide a sufficient insulation distance between the roller core metal 18A and the bearing 8. 9 is a side plate, and 11 is a stopper for regulating the position of the fixing roller in the thrust direction.

and insulating members 7 and 10 that come into contact with the core metal to drive the drive.
By providing this, it is possible to prevent voltage from being applied to other than the core metal, and also to prevent electric charge from leaking to the surrounding conductor frame 9, shafts 14, 15, etc.

良が防止される。Furthermore, since the gear 7 and the bush 10 are made of a heat insulating resin, heat radiation from the ends of the fixing roller can be prevented, and the temperature distribution in the axial direction of the roller can be made uniform. This prevents fixing failure at the end, particularly on the gear side.
【0026】図3にギア7、12、13の噛み合いの様

As shown in the cross-sectional view of the hub of gear 7 in Figure 4, the creepage distance is increased by cutting out the thickness, and by making the hub thinner, the transfer of heat from the fixing roller to gears 12 and 13 is reduced, making it easier to use. The amount of resin used can also be reduced.
【0028】(実施例2)ギア7はポリアミドイミドを

【0029】このように、ギヤ7のみを絶縁性樹脂で形
成し、ギア12、13は金属の鋳造または、切削で作る
ことで、ギアの歯とび、欠けの恐れを防止できる。In this manner, by forming only the gear 7 from an insulating resin and forming the gears 12 and 13 by casting or cutting metal, it is possible to prevent the gears from skipping or chipping.

ピッチムラもでにくい。If the gear 7 is made of resin and the gears 12 and 13 are made of metal, lubricity is provided by the powder generated when the gear 7 wears a little, so that the wear does not progress any further. In particular, gears have become smaller in recent years due to the miniaturization of devices, but in the case of this embodiment, the gear 7 that wears out is large.
Since the metal gears 12 and 13 are smaller, a protective film of abrasion powder is quickly formed on the surface of the metal gears, and a sufficient life can be maintained. Also, since there is less wear on the gears, pitch unevenness is less likely to occur.

Reference numeral 7 denotes a gear made by transplant molding, and a portion 7a that contacts the core metal is made of an insulating and heat-resistant resin. The tooth portion 7b of the gear is made of metal.

With this configuration, even heat-resistant resin that does not have the strength of a normal gear can be used, expanding the range of options. For example, polyphenylene sulfide, polyamideimide, polyimide, polyethylene terephthalate, etc. can also be used.

この問題が顕著になった。(Comparative Example) Gear 7 was made of conductive material such as metal, and gears 12 and 13 were made of insulating resin. Unless reliable continuity was established between the fixing roller 1 and the gear 7, a potential difference would occur between the two, resulting in noise. In particular, this problem became noticeable when the durability progressed and an oxide film formed between the roller core metal and the gear 7.

【0037】更に、バイアスの印加手段は電源以外に、
