摘要： A belt-type fixing device for an image forming apparatus is capable of raising a temperature to a level suitable for a fixing process in a short period of time with high heating efficiency. A fixing belt is entrained in spanning relation between a heating plate providing a heat generator on the inner surface of the semi-cylindrical plate and a pressing pad disposed at a distance from the heating plate. A pressing roller is disposed at a position opposing the pressing pad. The fixing belt is revolved by rotating the pressing roller. A recording medium having a toner adhered thereto is caused to pass through a nip portion of the fixing belt and the pressing roller.

摘要： This invention is related to a power supply unit used in an image forming apparatus having a induction heat fusing device. In the power supply unit, each of a first and a second rectifying circuits rectifies AC voltage from a power supply to generate DC voltage. An inverter circuit generates a high frequency voltage to be applied to a coil of the induction heat fusing device by switching the DC voltage from the first rectifying circuit. A switching circuit switches the DC voltage from said second rectifying circuit and generates AC voltage. A transformer receives the AC voltage from the switching circuit and outputs a transformed voltage to be apply to a component of the image forming apparatus. The inverter, second rectifying circuit and switching circuit are connected to a common ground line.

摘要： The present invention is related to a fixing device for fusing and fixing an unfixed toner image on a recording sheet. In the fixing device, a heating member such as rollers and endless belts and the like, is heated to a fixing temperature. An endless belt is provided opposite the heating member and is pressed against the heating member by a pressure member provided inside the endless belt. The heating member is driven in rotation in a transport direction of the recording sheet and the endless belt is driven in conjunction with the rotation of the heating member. The recording sheet bearing a toner image passes between the heating member and the endless belt while in this state, and the toner image is heated by the heating member so as to be fused onto the recording sheet under the pressure produced between the heating member and endless belt while the recording sheet is transported therebetween.

摘要： In the printing apparatus wherein the laser diode is used as light source for writing images on an image carrier, a control transistor is serially connected to the laser diode. The magnitude of the drive current for driving the laser diode is adjusted in accordance with the magnitude of the base current of the control transistor. The base current of the control transistor is turned on when the main power supply is implemented. That is, the control transistor is pre-heated up to print command. Consequently, the drive current is stable from the initial image formation after the main power supply is turned on.

摘要： In a receiver-integrated condenser, a super-cooling portion for cooling liquid refrigerant from a receiving unit is disposed between first and second condensing portions in a core portion in a vertical direction. Therefore, in an engine-idling, even when high-temperature air having passed through the receiver-integrated condenser is introduced again toward an upstream air side of the receiver-integrated condenser through a lower side of the receiver-integrated condenser, the high-temperature air is not introduced toward the arrangement position of said super-cooling portion, because the super-cooling portion is positioned at an upper side from the second condensing portion. Thus, super-cooling performance of refrigerant in the super-cooling portion of the core portion is prevented from being decreased even in the engine idling.

摘要： A fixing belt is applied to a fixing apparatus of an electronic photography type printer. The fixing belt consists of a belt base and an elastic layer having a thickness of 200 .mu.m or more formed on the belt base. The elastic layer consists of first, second and third elastic layers arranged in that order from the base side, and is deformable to conform to the surface shape of a recording paper so that all unfixed toner held on the recording paper can be pressed. The second elastic layer is a barrier layer for preventing releasing agent from permeating and the belt from swelling to suppress the thickening of the elastic layer as a whole and maintain the belt thickness within a range that does not cause any image noises.
