Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP3056661
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
A heater controlling unit used in a heat fusing device (30) of an image forming apparatus, such as a copying machine, comprising temperature detecting means (11) for outputting a detected temperature, temperature change rate computing means (19) for computing the surface temperature of a heat fusing roller (14) using the output of the temperature detecting means, and on-time computing and controlling means (20) for computing a heater on-time within a predetermined period by means of a fuzzy neural network using the above temperature and a temperature change rate found by the temperature-change rate computing means, a heater controlling circuit (17) for controlling the on/off action of the heater, predictive computing means (21) for predicting the surface temperature, and comparing and adjusting means (22) for comparing the actual temperature with the predicted temperature, and, when the balance is greater than a predetermined value (e.g., +/-5 DEG C), for adjusting the weights of the links within the network. Accordingly, the roughly set parameters can be amended to the one for an optimal on-time by the sequential learning. As a result, the program can be generated in a simpler manner, and the program can be changed easily for individual units depending on aged distortion and environments thereof.
