Publication number: 20040261568Abstract: An automatic balancing system is provided for canceling a rotational imbalance of a rotary device that includes a body to be rotated. A rotation support member rotates with the rotary device and has a polyhedron shape to have multiple flat ball operating surfaces that define an outer circumferential surface. A hollow storage channel around the rotation support member provides an inner circumferential surface so that the balance balls positioned in the hollow storage channel can move freely between the outer circumferential surface and the inner circumferential surface. The polyhedron shape of the ball operating surfaces allows the balance balls to come in contact with the surfaces with minimized force during low speed rotation and beginning of rotation to prevent abrupt collisions of the balance balls which results in smooth and quiet operation of the rotary device.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 30, 2004Publication date: December 30, 2004Inventors: Shinichi Utsumi, Atsushi Honda, Takaji Harata, Masaru Uno

Patent number: 6771926Abstract: In a fuser, a cooling structure (5) is disposed so that a bend angle (&agr;) of a part bent during the time between an endless belt (3) coming in contact with a press cooling face (5a) of the cooling structure (5) and exiting from the press cooling face (5a) is placed in the range of 0° C.<&agr;≦7° C. A fixing belt has a minute hardness of 0.1 to 5 at least on the belt surface coming in contact with toner T and preferably has a gloss degree of 75 or more on the belt surface.Type: GrantFiled: April 2, 2003Date of Patent: August 3, 2004Assignee: Fuji Xerox Co., Ltd.Inventors: Kiyotaka Ishikawa, Yoshio Kanesawa, Motoi Noya, Sadao Okano, Shinichi Utsumi, Hideaki Seikiguchi, Kazuhisa Masuko, Michiaki Yasuno, Fumio Daishi, Makoto Omata

Patent number: 6661150Abstract: A motor comprises a base to rotatably support a rotor and a ring-shaped magnet having a magnetic pole segment which is S-pole shaped and a magnetic pole segment which is N-pole and which are magnetized alternately in the circumferential direction. The ring-shaped magnet is fixed on the rotor. An armature core with a plurality of pole teeth is radially formed and a coil is wound up in each of the pole teeth. The armature core is mounted on the base so as to face an internal circumference of the ring-shaped magnet. First salient poles of the armature are included, the tip of the first salient pole faces the ring-shaped magnet through an opening in the circumferential direction. Second salient poles of the armature core extend in the circumferential direction from the tip of the second salient poles which face the ring-shaped magnet through an opening in the axial direction.Type: GrantFiled: May 22, 2002Date of Patent: December 9, 2003Assignee: Sankyo Seiki Mfg. Co., Ltd.Inventor: Shinichi Utsumi

Publication number: 20030123375Abstract: A rotary driving mechanism includes a rotary body that is rotated by a motor section, a balancing device including a plurality of balancing members mounted on the rotary body, and a vibration absorber that attenuates vibrations provided on the rotary body. The balancing device adjusts balance of the rotary body by changing positions of the balancing members at a predetermined rotational speed or greater, and the vibration absorber adjusts balance of the rotary body until the rotary body reaches the predetermined rotational speed.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 10, 2002Publication date: July 3, 2003Inventors: Masaru Uno, Shinichi Utsumi, Shigeru Kasai, Atsushi Honda

Publication number: 20030117935Abstract: A rotary drive device includes a plurality of balancing balls that are held to a holding magnet during low speed rotation, including when a rotary body starts. The balancing balls move outward in the radial direction away from the holding magnet by a centrifugal force applied to the plurality of balancing balls as a result of the rotation of the rotary body. Each of the balancing balls is moved into a position that negates a rotational unbalance of the rotary body to achieve a balancing effect. The number of effective revolutions, at which point the plurality of balancing balls that is attracted to the holding magnet begins to move outward in the radial direction away from the holding magnet as the number of revolutions of the rotary body increases, is smaller than the number of resonant revolutions of the rotary body.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 3, 2002Publication date: June 26, 2003Inventors: Shinichi Utsumi, Atsushi Honda
