TEMPERATURE DETECTION APPARATUS, FIXING APPARATUS, AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240210859 titled 'TEMPERATURE DETECTION APPARATUS, FIXING APPARATUS, AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS
The patent application describes a fixing apparatus with a unique holder design for a temperature detection element.
- The fixing apparatus includes a first rotary member, a nip forming member, a second rotary member, a heating element, a temperature detection element, a holder, and an urging member.
- The holder is configured to hold the temperature detection element and is urged toward the nip forming member by the urging member.
- The holder consists of a base member to receive the urging force and a head member where the temperature detection element is attached.
- The head member can tilt with respect to the base member and is urged towards the nip forming member by the urging force.
- The head member tilts following a portion of the nip forming member opposing it.
Potential Applications: - This technology can be used in fixing apparatus for various printing and imaging devices. - It can also be applied in industrial processes requiring precise temperature control.
Problems Solved: - Provides accurate temperature detection and control in fixing apparatus. - Ensures consistent and reliable performance in heating elements.
Benefits: - Improved efficiency and performance in fixing apparatus. - Enhanced quality of output in printing and imaging processes.
Commercial Applications: - Printing and imaging equipment manufacturers can integrate this technology into their products to enhance performance and reliability.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the unique holder design improve temperature detection in the fixing apparatus? 2. What are the potential cost savings associated with using this technology in industrial processes?
Frequently Updated Research: - Stay updated on advancements in temperature detection technology for fixing apparatus to ensure optimal performance.
Original Abstract Submitted
a fixing apparatus includes a first rotary member, a nip forming member, a second rotary member, a heating element, a temperature detection element, a holder configured to hold the temperature detection element, and an urging member configured to urge the holder toward the nip forming member to bring the holder into contact with the nip forming member. the holder includes a base member configured to receive an urging force from the urging member, and a head member to which the temperature detection element is attached, the head member being configured to be in contact with the base member and tiltable with respect to the base member. the head member is configured to be urged toward the nip forming member by the urging force and to tilt following a portion of the nip forming member opposing the head member.
