Reducing A Temperature Differential In A Fixing Device

View page
US Patent:
6339211, Jan 15, 2002
Filed:
Jul 7, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/611803
Inventors:
Wayne E Foote - Eagle ID
David J Arcaro - Boise ID
Kenneth E Heath - Boise ID
B. Mark Hirst - Boise ID
Mark Wibbels - Boise ID
Assignee:
Hewlett-Packard Company - Palo Alto CA
International Classification:
H05B 100
US Classification:
219216, 399328, 399330, 399 69, 219469, 118 60, 430350, 347154
Abstract:
A temperature differential over a length of a fuser can result from a thermal load applied to the fuser by media having a dimension, corresponding to a longitudinal axis of the fuser, less then the length of the fuser. The temperature on regions of the surface of the fuser contacting the media is lower than on regions of the surface not contacting the media. With feedback used to control the fuser surface temperature near its center, the fuser surface temperature in regions not contacting the media can become hot enough to damage the fuser. With a heat pipe included in the fuser, heat flows from the higher temperature regions on the surface of the fuser to the lower temperature regions on the surface of the fuser, thereby reducing the peak magnitude of the fuser surface temperature and the magnitude of the temperature differential over the length of the fuser.

Simplified Fusing System

US Patent:
6445902, Sep 3, 2002
Filed:
Mar 28, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/819499
Inventors:
B. Mark Hirst - Boise ID
Mark Wibbels - Boise ID
Kenneth E. Heath - Boise ID
Assignee:
Hewlett-Packard Company - Palo Alto CA
International Classification:
G03G 1520
US Classification:
399328, 219216, 219619
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a fusing system for fusing toner to a recording medium. The fusing system comprises a fuser roller that does not have an internal heat source, a pressure roller that does not have an internal heat source, the pressure roller being in contact with the fuser roller, and an external heat source that heats at least one of the fuser and pressure rollers.

Fusing System Including A Heat Storage Mechanism

View page
US Patent:
6512913, Jan 28, 2003
Filed:
Mar 28, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/819504
Inventors:
B. Mark Hirst - Boise ID
Mark Wibbels - Boise ID
Kenneth E. Heath - Boise ID
Assignee:
Hewlett-Packard Company - Palo Alto CA
International Classification:
G03G 1520
US Classification:
399328, 219216, 399333
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a fusing system for fusing toner to a recording medium. The fusing system includes a fuser roller including an elastomeric layer and a heat transport layer disposed around the elastomeric layer, the heat transport layer having high thermal capacity, and a pressure roller in contact with the fuser roller. The present disclosure also relates to a fusing method that helps reduce gloss variation of printed media fused to a recording medium with a fusing system. The method includes the steps of forming a heat transport layer having high thermal capacity at an outer surface of a fuser roller of the fusing system, heating the heat transport layer, and transferring heat from the heat transport layer to the recording medium as it passes through a nip of the fusing system.

Fusing System Including A Heat Distribution Mechanism

View page
US Patent:
6580895, Jun 17, 2003
Filed:
Mar 28, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/819503
Inventors:
B. Mark Hirst - Boise ID
Mark Wibbels - Boise ID
Kenneth E. Heath - Boise ID
Assignee:
Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P. - Houston TX
International Classification:
G03G 1520
US Classification:
399330, 165 89, 219216, 219469, 399328
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a fusing system for fusing toner to a recording medium. In one embodiment, the fusing system contains a fuser roller configured as a heat pipe including an inner tube and a coaxial outer tube that is mounted to the inner tube, the inner and outer tubes defining an interior space therebetween that is adapted to contain a liquid and to be evacuated so as be maintained in a vacuum, and a pressure roller in contact with the fuser roller. In another embodiment, the fusing system contains a fuser roller, a pressure roller in contact with the fuser roller, and an external heating roller in contact with the fuser roller, the external heating roller being configured as a heat pipe including an inner tube and a coaxial outer tube that is mounted to the inner tube, the inner and outer tubes defining an interior space therebetween that is adapted to contain a liquid and to be evacuated so as be maintained in a vacuum.

Fusing System Having Electromagnetic Heating

View page
US Patent:
6721530, Apr 13, 2004
Filed:
Mar 28, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/819443
Inventors:
B. Mark Hirst - Boise ID
Mark Wibbels - Boise ID
Kenneth E. Heath - Boise ID
Assignee:
Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P. - Houston TX
International Classification:
G03G 1520
US Classification:
399328, 219619, 219636, 399336
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a fusing system for fusing toner to a recording medium. The fusing system includes a fuser roller including a metal layer, a pressure roller in contact with the fuser roller, and an external induction heating element. In addition, the disclosure relates to a method for heating a fuser roller of a fusing system including the steps of positioning an external induction heating element in close proximity to the outer surface of the fuser roller, delivering high frequency current to a coil of the external induction heating element to create a magnetic flux, and directing the magnetic flux toward the fuser roller so as to induce eddy currents within a metal layer of the fuser roller that generate heat within the roller.

Duplex Image Registration
