Embodiment Construction

[0024] Exemplary embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0025] figure 1 is a schematic diagram showing a brief configuration of an image forming apparatus 1 to which the exemplary embodiment is applied. The image forming apparatus 1 includes an image forming unit 10 that forms a toner image on a sheet P that is an example of a recording material. The image forming apparatus 1 further includes: a fixing device 20 which heats and pressurizes the toner image formed on the sheet P by the image forming unit 10 to fix the toner image; P is fed to the image forming unit 10 .

[0026] The image forming apparatus 1 includes a process cartridge 100 . When the process cartridge 100 is pulled out to the front side (left side in the drawing) of the image forming apparatus 1 , the process cartridge 100 can be removed from the main body portion (device body) of the image forming apparatus 1 . In addition, in the p...

Abstract

A fixing device includes a heat member that includes a heat portion and rotates in a circumferential direction; a pressure member that faces the heat member and fixes a toner image transferred on a sheet to the sheet by applying pressure when the heat member applies heat; and first and second housing chambers that house electric wires, that are spaces isolated from the heat member and the pressure member, and that respectively have first and second openings being open to the outside in the circumferential direction and being covered with lid members, the electric wires being respectively arranged through the first and second openings, the second housing chamber being formed separately from the first housing chamber, the second opening being open in a direction different from a direction of the first opening.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a fixing device and an image forming apparatus. Background technique [0002] For example, Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 4-161976 discloses a fixing device including: a fixing roller rotatably supported by a frame; a thermal fuse provided near the fixing roller and having a main body part and a pair of lead wires connected to both sides of the main body part; an insulating part which covers the main part and a pair of lead wires of the thermal fuse and insulates the main part and a pair of lead wires; and a fixing part which clamps the insulated part Covering the body part of the thermal fuse, thereby fixing the body part to the frame. [0003] When assembling various electric wires provided in the fixing device, it is desirable to arrange the electric wires at predetermined positions; however, an assembly failure in which the electric wires are not disposed at the predetermined positions may o...
