Problems solved by technology

However, when the thickness of the shielding layer is increased, the rigidity of the magnetic flux shielding member is increased, and it becomes difficult to bend, thereby restricting the movement of the magnetic flux shielding member at a portion where the radius of curvature on the moving path of the magnetic flux shielding member is small.
Therefore, it is necessary to increase the diameter of the drive shaft, tension shaft, and support shaft, making it difficult to miniaturize the device.

Abstract

A fixing device includes a heating member pressed by a pressing member to form a nip part, an excitation coil generating a magnetic flux induction-heating the heating member, a magnetic core and a magnetism shielding member. The magnetic core is located opposite to the heating member across the excitation coil and provides a magnetic path passing through the excitation coil and heating member. The magnetism shielding member partially shields the magnetic path and includes a rotatable belt member allowing the magnetic flux to pass through, and a magnetism shielding layer arranged on a surface of the belt member. In the magnetism shielding layer, gap parts extending in a width direction of the belt member are arranged along a circumference direction of the belt member. When the magnetism shielding member is located to shield the magnetic path, inner wall faces of the gap part are brought into contact with each other.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a fixing device and an image forming device having the fixing device, in particular to an electromagnetic induction heating method fixing device and an image forming device having the fixing device. Background technique [0002] The fixing device of the electromagnetic induction heating method uses the magnetic flux generated by the excitation coil to generate eddy current in the induction heating layer installed in the heating part, and the Joule heat generated by the eddy current makes the induction heating layer heat up, thereby heating the heating part to a specified fixing temperature. temperature. In this kind of fixing device, since the heat capacity of the induction heating layer can be made smaller, the warm-up time when the fixing device is started can be shortened, and a higher heat conversion rate can be obtained with a relatively compact structure. However, when the size of the paper to be fixed is small, ...
