FIXING MEMBER AND FIXING UNIT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240219862 titled 'FIXING MEMBER AND FIXING UNIT

The patent application describes a fixing member with a conductive layer containing multiple conductive elements. The fixing member has a central area and an end portion area through which a recording material passes.

  • The central area includes the central portion of the first area in the direction of the generatrix.
  • The end portion area includes the end portion of the first area in the direction of the generatrix.
  • The conductive elements in the central area have a higher resistance value compared to those in the end portion area.

Key Features and Innovation:

  • Conductive layer with multiple conductive elements.
  • Central area and end portion area for the passage of recording material.
  • Variation in resistance values of conductive elements based on their location.

Potential Applications:

  • Printing technology
  • Photocopying machines
  • Industrial manufacturing processes

Problems Solved:

  • Ensures efficient heat distribution for fixing materials.
  • Prevents overheating in specific areas.
  • Enhances overall performance and longevity of fixing member.

Benefits:

  • Improved printing quality.
  • Energy efficiency.
  • Extended lifespan of fixing member.

Commercial Applications:

  • Printing industry for high-quality output.
  • Manufacturing sector for efficient production processes.
  • Office equipment market for reliable photocopying machines.

Prior Art: Prior research on conductive layers in fixing members and their impact on heat distribution and performance.

Frequently Updated Research: Ongoing studies on the optimization of resistance values in conductive elements for enhanced fixing member efficiency.

Questions about Fixing Member Technology: 1. How does the variation in resistance values of conductive elements impact the overall performance of the fixing member? 2. What are the potential cost savings associated with using this innovative fixing member technology?


Original Abstract Submitted

a fixing member includes a conductive layer including a plurality of conductive elements. in a direction of a generatrix of the fixing member, when an area through which a recording material with a maximum width conveyable to the fixing member passes is referred to as a first area, the first area includes a central area and an end portion area. the central area includes a central portion of the first area in the direction of the generatrix. the end portion area includes an end portion of the first area in the direction of the generatrix. a resistance value of each of the plurality of conductive elements disposed in the central area is a first resistance value. a resistance value of each of the plurality of conductive elements disposed in the end portion area is a second resistance value that is lower than the first resistance value.
