Abstract: An inverter in which the three-phase power source is used as an input power source and the single phase voltage is outputted, is provided. The single phase output voltage of the inverter is applied onto the inductive coil of the inductive heat generation mechanism provided inside the rotating roller as the exciting voltage. Because the single phase voltage obtained by being phase-converted by the inverter is used, the unbalance is not generated among the phases of the three-phase power source which is the input power source.

Abstract: In an induction heating roller apparatus of the present invention, Rolling bearings 10 and a sliding bearings 14 are provided between drive shafts 2 of a roller body 1 and a support rod 9. When a trouble occurs in the rolling bearings 10, a rotational torque is transmitted from the drive shafts 2 through the rolling bearings 10 to the support rod 9. The sliding bearings 14 operate during the transmission of the rotational torque to the support rod 9, and the rolling bearings 10 slips relative to the support rod 9. The slip prevents that the support rod 9 co-rotates with the drive shafts.

Abstract: A relay box is fastened to the end of a support rod supporting an induction heating mechanism, which the end is extended outside. Receptacles of connectors are mounted on a surface of the relay box. Lead wires connected to the induction coils are connected to the receptacles. Plugs are removably pin-connected to the receptacles. Power lines connecting to the exciting power source are connected to the plugs.

Abstract: An induction heating roller apparatus comprises a rotatable hollow cylindrical roller body made of magnetic material, a pair of end frames for closing the opposite opening ends of the roller body, having roller driving shafts in outer sleeve form, magnetic flux generating device comprising an induction coil wound on an iron core body positioned between the pair of end frames and in the hollow portion of the roller body, a pair of sleeve-like rods projecting from the opposite end surfaces of the iron core body and inserted for relative rotation into the outer sleeve of the shafts, and a pair of auxiliary magnetic flux generating mechanism comprising auxiliary induction coils wound on annular iron cores positioned inside the end frames and fixed at the base portion at which the sleeve-like rods are connected to the iron core body, and wherein the end frames comprise fitting edges fitted in the opposite openings in the roller body, flange portions continuous with the fitting edges and adapted to be applied to th

Abstract: An induction heating winding structure 5 is installed inside a hollow roller 1, which is closed at its opposite ends by flanges 2A, 2B. Driving shafts 4A, 4B integral with the flanges having coaxial holes are rotatably supported. The induction heating winding structure 5 is supported at its opposite side by support rods 9A, 9B. The support rods are in the coaxial holes 10A, 10B of the driving shafts through bearings. The roller 1 and flanges 2A, 2B are fastened together through taper fit. When it is desired to release the roller 1 from the flanges, the driving shafts and the support rods are temporarily fastened and one driving shaft 4B is supported in a cantilever manner. The roller 1 is mounted on a transport mechanism for mounting and dismounting.
