Fixing device and image forming apparatus
First Claim
1. A fixing device for fixing a developer image to a recording medium, said fixing device comprising:
- a heat source;
a heating member heated by said heat source so as to heat said recording medium;
a first temperature detecting unit that detects a temperature of said heating member and is remote from said heating member;
a second temperature detecting unit provided in the proximity of said first temperature detecting unit; and
a control unit that controls said heat source according to detected temperatures detected by said first and second temperature detecting units.

Abstract
A fixing device includes a non-contacting thermistor (54) disposed in the vicinity of the surface of a heat roller (21) and an upper cover temperature thermistor (60) for detecting the temperature of a pressure roller (22). The calculated surface temperature (T) of the heat roller 21 is calculated based on the detected temperature (T1) detected by the non-contacting thermistor (54), the detected temperature (T2) detected by the upper cover temperature thermistor (60), the distance (L1) from the non-contacting thermistor (54) to the surface of the heat roller (21) and the distance (L2) from the non-contacting thermistor (54) to the upper cover (51).

10. A fixing device for fixing a developer image to a recording medium, said fixing device comprising:
-
a heat source;
a heating member heated by said heat source so as to heat said recording medium;
a first temperature detecting unit that detects a temperature of said heating member, and is remote from said heating member;
a third temperature detecting unit that detects a temperature transmitted from said heating member; and
a control unit that compensates a detected temperature detected by said first temperature detecting unit based on a detected temperature detected by said third temperature detecting unit, and controls said heat source based on a compensated detected temperature. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 17)
