A heating device for heating a recording sheet. The heating device has a first heater located within a heating roller. The first heater has a heat distribution effective to form a low temperature region in an axially central portion of the heating roller and a high temperature region in each of axially opposite end portions of the heating roller. There is a second heater located within the heating roller that has a heat distribution effective to form a high temperature region in the axially central portion of the heating roller, a low temperature region in each of the opposite end portions of the heating roller, and a second-level high temperature region in each of axially opposite end portions of the high temperature region, the second-level high temperature region being lower in temperature than the high temperature region.

A sheet delivery mechanism designed to discharge successive sheets to different delivery positions includes offset rollers, an offset unit, an offsetting force generator and an offset unit swinging mechanism. The offset rollers is rotatably supported by the offset unit to discharge each sheet in a sheet transport direction. The offsetting force generator produces a driving force for shifting the offset unit back and forth along a direction perpendicular to the sheet transport direction between a reference position and offset positions. The offset unit swinging mechanism swings the offset unit about an axis parallel to rotary shafts of the offset rollers in such a manner that a sheet output direction in which the offset rollers eject each sheet varies to a direction pointing away from a sheet delivery tray when the offset unit is shifted along the direction perpendicular to the sheet transport direction by the offsetting force generator.

A fixing device includes a fixing member in contact with an unfixed image constituted of developer T on one side of a recording material P; and a pressure member pressed against the fixing member. The fixing device fixes the unfixed image onto the recording material P by causing the recording material P, charged so as to have a same polarity as a polarity of the developer T, to pass through a gap between the fixing member and the pressure member. In the fixing device, an inflow current into the fixing member Ih is 0 when the recording material P passes through the gap between the fixing member and the pressure member. This securely restrains the developer on the recording material from electrostatically offset to the side of the fixing device, thereby maintaining the formation of high quality images.

A fixing unit includes a heat roller and a pressing roller that comes in pressure contact with the heat roller, and passes the recording paper with an unfixed toner image formed thereon through the nip between the heat roller and pressing roller to thereby fix the toner image to the recording paper by applying heat and pressure thereto. A cleaning device for removing the toner remaining on the heat roller or pressing roller in the fixing unit includes cleaning rollers made of metal arranged in press-contact with the heat roller and pressing roller, the peripheral surface of the cleaning rollers being formed with projected and indented shapes to thereby remove the leftover toner appropriately.

A fixing device is provided with a fixing roller, a peeling claw that peels a recording paper from the fixing roller, a peeling claw holder that rotatably supports the peeling claw, and a support member that movably supports the peeling claw holder to enable the peeling claw to retract by moving apart from the fixing roller, wherein not less than two directions are set as retracting directions of the peeling claw holder to be moved when the peeling claw is caused to retract by moving apart from the fixing roller.
摘要:
One embodiment of the present invention involves a roller drive control method for a fixing apparatus in which a separation claw for separating a recording paper and a cleaning unit for removing toner that has become residual on a surface of a heat roller are arranged near a surface of the heat roller that fixes toner onto the recording paper, wherein a predetermined period different from a fixing process period in which fixing of toner onto the recording paper is carried out is set as a toner removal period for removing toner that has adhered to the separation claw, and the heat roller is rotationally driven so that the rotation velocity of the heat roller is different in the fixing process period and the toner removal period.
摘要:
A fixing device mounted in an electrophotographic image forming apparatus, for fixing a toner image formed on recording paper includes: a plurality of peeling claws provided for peeling off the recording paper from a fixing roller; a number-of-processed-sheet detecting portion for detecting a number of processed sheets of recording paper which is treated with a fixing process upon passing through the fixing roller; a peeling claw driving section for moving a plurality of the peeling claws in parallel with an axial direction of the fixing roller; and a control unit for controlling the peeling claw driving section to operate so that a relative position between the peeling claw and the fixing roller changes according to a detected output of the number-of-processed-sheet detecting portion.
摘要:
The present invention provides a fixing device for fixing a toner image formed on paper by sandwiching the paper in a nip region between a heating roller and a pressing roller and pressing the paper while heating the paper to a fixing temperature. This fixing device includes a cleaning roller that is in contact with the pressing roller, and temperature control means that sets a temperature of the heating roller to a cleaning temperature that is higher than the fixing temperature.
