摘要:
A fixing apparatus for use in an image forming apparatus such as a copying apparatus or a laser beam printer is disclosed. The fixing apparatus has a heater, a rotatable member having the heater therein, and a pressing member forming a nip by coming into contact with the rotatable member. The rotatable member is provided with a core and an elastic layer formed on the core, and the elastic layer has a JIS-A Standard rubber hardness not more than 5.degree..

The image heating apparatus includes a rubber layer and a resin tube layer on a metal core. The rubber layer includes a solid rubber layer having a thermal conductivity in a thickness direction of 0.16 W/(m·K) or more and 0.40 W/(m·K) or less, and a self-bonded silicone rubber layer that contains a filler of 5 vol % or more and 40 vol % or less, and has a thermal conductivity in an axial direction of 2.5 W/(m·K) or more and a thickness of 0.5 mm or more and 5.0 mm or less, the filler having a length of 0.05 mm or more and 1 mm or less and a thermal conductivity in a length direction of 500 W/(m·K) or more, so that a pressure roller to moderate temperature rise in a non-sheet feeding area when a small sized recording material has undergone sheet feeding can be easily manufactured.

A pressure member contacts a heating member to form a nip part where a recording material is heated and pinched-conveyed, and includes a first elastic layer and a second elastic layer 24b having a higher thermal conductivity than that of the first elastic layer. An elastic layer is formed of a combination of the first elastic layer and the second elastic layer so that the thickness of the second elastic layer at the end portion is thicker than the thickness of the second elastic layer at the center portion in a longitudinal direction perpendicular to a recording material conveyance direction. Accordingly, when using the pressure member to contact the heating member to form the nip part, it is possible to reduce the difference between a center nip width and an end-portion nip width of the nip part.

An image forming apparatus includes an image bearing member for bearing an image, a contact charger for charging the image bearing member, and a detector for detecting an electric current flowing through the charger when the charger changes a potential of a predetermined area of the image bearing member from a first potential to a second potential which is different from the first potential. In another aspect of the invention, the detector detects a flow of current through a second contact charger when a first oscillating voltage is applied by a first contact charger and a second oscillating voltage applied by the second contact charger which is different from the first oscillating voltage.

A pressure member contacts with a heating member 23 to form a nip part N where a recording material P is heated and pinched-conveyed, and includes a first elastic layer 24a and a second elastic layer 24b having higher thermal conductivity than that of the first elastic layer. An elastic layer is formed in combination of the first elastic layer and the second elastic layer so that the thickness of the second elastic layer at the end portion is thicker than the thickness of the second elastic layer at the center portion in a longitudinal direction perpendicular to a recording material conveyance direction. Accordingly, in the pressure member contacting with the heating member to form the nip part, it is possible to reduce a difference between a center nip width and an end-portion nip width of the nip part.
