An image heating apparatus includes a roller, a heating portion disposed within the roller, a bearing portion fitted around an end portion of the roller to rotably support the roller, and a retaining ring attached at an axially predetermined position of the roller to restrict the roller from moving in a axial direction of the roller with respect to the bearing portion. The retaining ring includes first and second projections fitted into a hole portion of the roller. Profiles of side surfaces of these first and second projections abutting edges of the hole portion in a circumferential direction are recessed in the circumferential direction.

An image heating apparatus includes a heating rotatable member for heating an image on a recording material in a heating nip; a magnetic flux generator for generating a magnetic flux for induction heat generation in the heating rotatable member; a magnetic flux confining device for confining the magnetic flux directed toward a predetermined region of the heating rotatable member from the magnetic flux generator; and a moving device for repeatedly moving the magnetic flux confining device during a heating operation between the operating position and a retracted position retracted from the operation position, when the recording material which has a predetermined width overlapping with a part of the predetermined region is continuously heated by the apparatus.
摘要:
In an electromagnetic induction heating-type heating apparatus for moving a temperature decreasing member toward or apart from an effective position where a temperature in a predetermined area is decreased in order to take countermeasure against temperature rise at a non-sheet passing portion of a heating roller, a Curie temperature of the heating roller is not less than a predetermined image heating temperature and is less than a heat-resistant temperature of the heating apparatus.
摘要:
In a widthwise direction of a heating roller perpendicular to a sheet conveyance direction, an amount of magnetic flux acting on the heating roller in the neighborhood of an end portion of the heating roller is larger than that at a center portion of the eating roller, so that it is possible to prevent a lowering in temperature at the heating roller end portion. Further, in a temperature range in which a temperature of the heating roller is higher than a fixation temperature and is lower than a heat-resistant temperature of a heating apparatus, the heating roller has a temperature area in which a resistance thereof is lowered, so that it is possible to reduce temperature rise in a differential area between a large-sized sheet passing area and a small-sized sheet passing area when a sheet having a size smaller than a maximum size (non-sheet passing portion temperature rise).
