摘要： In a method and apparatus for controlling the temperature of a fixing device of the film heating type and the pressure rotary member driving type and an image forming apparatus provided with this fixing device, at the start of printing, the output of a thermistor near a heater is detected, and when the temperature difference &Dgr;T=T2−T1 between the detected temperature T1 and the fixing temperature T2 is smaller than a desired temperature T0, the raising timing of the heater is delayed. Thereby, a pressure roller is not-excessively warmed at hot start and slip can be prevented. Also, in the image forming apparatus having the film heating type fixing device, in the next printing after the lapse of a predetermined time after the termination of a printing operation, the target temperature and heater electrical energization starting timing of the fixing device are changed in conformity with the temperature of the fixing device. The apparatus has an atmospheric temperature sensor, and in the next printing after the lapse of a predetermined time after the termination of a printing operation, the target temperature and heater electrical energization timing of the fixing device during the initial rotation operation in the printing, operation are changed in conformity with the atmospheric temperature detected by the atmospheric temperature sensor and the temperature of the fixing device.

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.

摘要： In a fixing device, a core material of a fixing rotating member has two largest-diameter portions respectively located between a central portion and each end portion of the fixing rotating member, within a region where a recording material of a largest size passes, and the diameter of each core material is gradually reduced from the largest-diameter portion toward the central portion and toward the nearest end portion. The outer shape of the fixing rotating member conforms to the shape of the core material. According to this configuration, it is possible to prevent corrugation and curl of the recording material, and to provide excellent mountability of the recording material.

In order to obtain a stable heating property (fixing property) not depending on the kind of paper of a recording material (a smooth paper, a rough paper), the temperature of the heating member or the heating rotary member is detected, and the current to the heating member is controlled so that the detected temperature becomes a target temperature. In this situation, the supply power amount to the heating member is monitored, and the target temperature is corrected on the basis of the monitor result. Also, when the temperature detected by the temperature detecting device is within a given range, the current to the heating member is controlled so that a given power is supplied to the heating member.
