    摘要: An image fixing device that is controllable with a high degree of reliability. The image fixing device is configured with a heat generator for fixing a toner image onto a recording medium that is opposed to an induction heater. Heat is generated in the heat generator through electromagnetic induction. An inverter circuit drives the induction heater. A power controller controls a power value that is output from the inverter circuit, whose power value is calculated by a power-value calculator. A power-value sensor acquires the power value output from the power controller, and a temperature sensor senses a temperature at least at one point of the heat generator. Thus, either the power value sensed by the power-value sensor or a temperature value sensed by the temperature sensor may be used as a reference value to calculate the power value in the power-value calculator.

    摘要: An image heating apparatus that enables a temperature of an image heating element to be stably maintained at a target temperature as a fixing speed varies. A Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controller determines whether a temperature control computation results in a range that allows temperature control with one IGBT, and a linear control is performed if the result is at least equal to a minimum power obtained as IH output. PWM control is performed at minimum power if the power is less than a required minimum power. Thus, a computation method of a supply power computator need not be switched according to the fixing speed, and a calorific value of a fixing belt can be controlled using one computation method.

    摘要: An image heating apparatus is provided that enables the temperature of an image heating element to be maintained stably at a target temperature even when the fixing speed varies, and that enables lower cost and higher efficiency to be achieved. In this apparatus, with a calorific value control section 300 of a fixing apparatus 200, temperature control computation is not varied according to the rotational speed of a fixing belt 230, but it is determined whether a PID control computation result is in a range that allows temperature control with one IGBT, linear control is performed if the result is greater than or equal to the minimum power obtained as IH output, and PWM control is performed at minimum power if power less than or equal to the minimum power is required. It is thus not necessary for the computation method of a supply power computation section 301 to be switched according to the fixing speed, and the calorific value of fixing belt 230 can be controlled with one computation method. Therefore, the supply power to the heat source of fixing belt 230 can be PID-controlled by only one switching element (IGBT), lower cost and higher efficiency can be achieved, and the temperature of fixing belt 230 can be maintained stably at the target temperature.

    摘要: PID control performs integral control using an integral value of a deviation between a set temperature and current temperature. In particular, when a proportionality factor Kp is large, a fixing belt reaches a target temperature quickly but overshoot increases. On the other hand, when the proportionality factor Kp is small, the output is reduced gradually, and therefore the fixing belt reaches a target temperature slowly but the overshoot is small. Thus, a heat value control section changes the control value of the PID control according to the temperature (belt temperature) of a fixing belt at the start of heating as detected by a temperature detector. More specifically, a proportionality factor Kp of a calculation expression of the PID calculation is changed according to the belt temperature of the fixing belt. This makes it possible to reduce an overshoot when the temperature of the fixing belt increases.

    摘要: PID control performs integral control using an integral value of a deviation between a set temperature and current temperature, and therefore when a proportionality factor Kp is large, a fixing belt 230 reaches a target temperature quickly but a subsequent overshoot increases. On the other hand, when the proportionality factor Kp is small, the output is reduced gradually, and therefore the fixing belt 230 reaches a target temperature slowly but the overshoot is small. Thus, a heat value control section 300 changes the control value of the PID control according to the temperature (belt temperature) a fixing belt 230 at the start of heating of detected by a temperature detector 270. More specifically, a proportionality factor Kp of a calculation expression of the PID calculation is changed according to the belt temperature of the fixing belt 230.

    摘要: When a temperature control does not operate, and a thermal runaway state occurs, the temperatures of a heating roller and a thermostat rise rapidly. When the rise in the temperature occurs such that the temperature of the thermostat reaches or exceeds a predetermined temperature, both ends of a thermostat are brought into an open circuit state. Thus the supply of a power from a commercial power source to an exciting coil is directly cut off.
