現状である。The above-described peeling means, in particular, the sharp portion 104a of the peeling claw member 104 brought into contact with the fixing roller 101
The tip is brought into contact with the surface of the recording paper P to facilitate peeling off the recording paper P, and the angle is increased to prevent the occurrence of chips, cracks, etc. at the sharp point made of a heat-resistant hard resin material. However, with such a shape, the sharpened portion 104a
If the leading edge of the recording paper P is close to the contact point A between the fixing roller 101 and the pressure roller 102, the leading edge of the recording paper P will hit the leading edge of the sharpened part 104a, causing a paper jam. Since it is necessary to bring the tip into contact with the surface of the fixing roller 101 at a position away from the contact point A between the fixing roller 101 and the pressure roller 102, the sharpened portion 1
04a and a guide section 10 that guides and conveys the recording paper P after fixing to a pair of upper and lower paper ejection rollers 108 and 109.
The current situation is that 4b must be bent into a beak shape.

。As shown in detail in FIG. 3, the above-mentioned fixing device 100 transfers the recording paper P onto which the toner image T has been transferred by a developing section (not shown) and is transported onto the transport path to the fixing roller 1.
01 and the pressure roller 102, and after fixing the toner image T on the recording paper P, the recording paper P passed between the fixing roller 101 and the pressure roller 102. is peeled off by the peeling claw member 104 in contact with the fixing roller 101, and the conveyance guide member 10
5, the paper is guided and conveyed between a pair of upper and lower paper ejection rollers 108 and 109, and the paper is ejected. As shown in FIG. 2, it consists of a sharpened portion 104a that is brought into contact with the fixing roller 101, and a guide portion 104b that guides the recording paper P continuously from this sharpened portion 104a, and the top surface 204 of the leading edge of this sharpened portion 104a is The closest position I+'! within 10 mm from the contact point A with the pressure roller 102 on the circumference of the fixing roller 101! B, and the top surface 204 of the tip is shaped so that the angle θ between the peeling point B on the roller and the tangent C-C of this peeling point B is an acute angle. On the other hand, the lower surface side which becomes the guide portion 104b is formed linearly from the peeling point B toward the side of the paper discharge rollers 108 and 109, and its cross-sectional shape is shown in FIG. The ridge line 205 is formed along the transport direction on at least the surface of the lower surface of the guide portion 104b that contacts the recording paper P, thereby reducing the contact with the recording paper P. This is designed to reduce the occurrence of jamming of the recording paper P due to dirt on the peeling claw member 104.
すなわち、上記した本発明に係る構成によれば。That is, according to the configuration according to the present invention described above.

03 at a position close to the contact point A, and the guide portion 104b is connected to a pair of upper and lower paper ejection rollers 108 and 109.
Since it is formed linearly along the side, the leading edge of the recording paper P that has passed through the contact point A between the fixing roller 101 and the pressure roller 102 is quickly separated from the surface of the fixing roller 101 at the tip of the sharpened portion 104a. As a result, the ejected recording paper P can be made smaller than the conventional large wavy deformed state (see Fig. 8), as shown in Fig. 6. It is something that

ことができるものである。[Effects of the Invention] As is clear from the above description, according to the present invention, the image support to which the developer image has been transferred is conveyed between the fixing roller and the pressure roller, and the developer image is transferred between the fixing roller and the pressure roller. While fixing the image on the image support, the image is fixed by contacting the tip of the pointed part of a peeling claw member that is pivotably supported for nine rotations on the circumference of at least one of the fixing roller and the pressure roller. In a fixing device that peels off the subsequent image support and guides and conveys the peeled image support toward the paper ejection roller using the guide portion of the peeling claw member, the sharp end of the peeling claw member is connected to the fixing roller. Because it is located close to the point of contact with the pressure roller, the recording paper can be peeled off smoothly, and this reduces the deformation of the recording paper after it is ejected, thereby reducing the occurrence of paper wrinkles. Therefore, it is possible to provide a fixing device that has excellent effects in that it is possible to reduce the number of particles and to reliably prevent jamming at the time of peeling on the photoreceptor portion.
