摘要:
In an image heating apparatus, a film has one face in sliding contact with a heater having a heat generating portion on a substrate. The other face of the film contacts a recording material bearing an image. The film moves with the recording material and the image on the recording material is heated by heat generated by the heater which is transmitted through the film. A temperature detecting element detects the temperature of the heater. The heat generating portion of the heater has a first heat generating portion and a second heat generating portion on the downstream side of the first heat generating portion with respect to the moving direction of the film. The middle of the temperature detecting element is positioned at the upstream side of the middle between the first and second heat generating portions with respect to the moving direction of the film.

An image fixing apparatus has a heater; a film; and a roller forming a nip with the heater with the film therebetween, the roller being driving to drive the film. A recording material carrying an unfixed image is fed by the nip so that the unfixed image is fixed on the recording material by heat from the heater, and the roller has a surface resin tube layer, wherein the center line average surface roughness Ra (.mu.m), a dynamic friction coefficient .mu., and a peripheral speed of the roller V (mm/sec) satisfy:when Ra 0.3,.mu..gtoreq.1.3.times.10.sup.-3 V+0.18when Ra.gtoreq.0.30.37.gtoreq.Ra.times..mu..gtoreq.6.4.times.10.sup.-4 V+4.8.times.10.sup.-3.The roller's surface resin tube layer includes two different types of resin or resin and rubber materials. The roller's tube layer is subject to electric discharge treatment.

Energy consumption in a fixing process of an electrophotographic image-forming apparatus is reduced. An unfixed toner image T1 is fixed on a recording medium by applying a photopolymerizable composition D1 to the unfixed toner image T1 formed on the recording medium and then performing irradiation with light having a maximum emission wavelength in a wavelength range of from 420 to 470 nm using a light emitting diode or an organic EL device for curing the photopolymerizable composition D1 by photopolymerization.

In the head-fixing apparatus of the film heating system in an image forming apparatus, a heat capacity is controlled to be as small as possible because the quick-start property is recognized to be more importance. Thus, heat conductivity in the longitudinal direction is poor and, due to a relationship between the area where a recording material is conveyed and the heating area of the energizing heating resistance layer, a) heat is insufficient at the end portion in the initial period and b) unusual temperature rising occurs at the end portion at the time of continuous heat-fixing. In order to resolve those problem, an apparatus which can control adequately temperature at the area where a recording material is conveyed without rising temperature at the end portion of a heater as a non-sheet passing area.

An object of the present invention is to provide an image forming apparatus having a fixing device, which can obtain good fixing ability while preventing occurrence of hot offset. The present invention provides an image forming apparatus that has image forming means for forming an image on a recording material, a heating member for heating the image on the recording material, a backup roller forming a nip with the heating member, a temperature detecting element for detecting a temperature of an atmosphere, and control means for controlling a power supply to the heating member, wherein when a print signal is inputted, the control means controls power supply (electrical communication) to the heating member in such a manner that the heating member maintains a set temperature in accordance with a detection temperature of the temperature detecting element, and, thereafter, a fixing operation is effected.

A method of manufacturing a tube-covered roller for fixing includes a step of setting a core material in a substantially central portion of a cylindrical mold and setting, outside the core material, a tube and a resin layer which is capable of coming into contact with an inner surface of the mold, a step of putting a rubber material between the core material and the tube and hardening the rubber material to produce a roller, and a step of, after detaching the roller covered with the tube and the resin layer from the mold, removing the resin layer from the roller.

An image forming apparatus comprises a fusing device for heating and fixing an unfixed image on a recording material while feeding the recording material, reversing device for reversing the recording material after passing the fusing device. The image forming apparatus operates in a first mode in which the recording material which passed the fusing device is ejected to an ejection section directly without being reversed, and a second mode in which the recording material which passed said fusing device is ejected to an ejection section after being reversed by the reversing device. A throughput of the recording material fed and/or the fusing temperature of the fusing device in the first mode being smaller or lower during at least part of an image forming process than in the second mode. With this image forming apparatus, the recording materials can be stacked in the ejection portion with improved quality and an excessive rise of temperature in the vicinity of the ejection portion can be avoided.

The invention relates to a display processing apparatus which may be used in instances when a single display is to be used to represent multiple parameters whose values may be correlated or interrelated with one another. The invention is particularly useful when simultaneously displaying a plot of position vs. time and some other parameter whose value changes with position, time, or both. Correlative display is made possible by a technique which samples the values of all of the related parameters at intervals, and stores the sampled values along with an indication of the elapsed time. In this manner, positional or other parametric data corresponding to distinct points or ranges of time can be extracted and displayed in time-correlated fashion.
