Heat fixing device and manufacturing method thereof
Abstract
Abstract Translated from Japanese (57)【要約】 【目的】 通電により発熱する発熱抵抗体からなるヒー ターを有する加熱定着装置において、フィルムやこれと 摺動する発熱抵抗体等の摩耗を低減してその長寿命化を 図ること。 【構成】 絶縁性基板2上に通電により発熱する発熱抵 抗体3を設け、該発熱抵抗体により被加熱体とともに移 動するフィルムを介して該被加熱体を加熱し、熱定着に よる画像形成装置で使用される熱定着用ヒーターにおい て、フィルムと接触摺動するヒーターの絶縁保護膜6あ るいは発熱抵抗体3上、もしくはフィルム上に硬質炭素 膜18を潤滑保護膜として形成した。 (57) [Abstract] [Purpose] To reduce the abrasion of the film and the heating resistor that slides against it in the heat fixing device that has a heater composed of a heating resistor that generates heat when energized, and to extend its life. . A heating resistor 3 that generates heat when energized is provided on an insulating substrate 2, and the heating resistor heats the heating target through a film that moves together with the heating target. In the heat fixing heater used, a hard carbon film 18 was formed as a lubrication protective film on the insulating protective film 6 of the heater or the heating resistor 3 which slides in contact with the film, or on the film.
