Abstract

A heating plate provided with: a heating member; and a guide member, one surface of which comes into contact with the heating member and the other surface of which comes into contact with a body to be heated to heat the body to be heated, wherein plural grooves are provided at prescribed intervals on the one surface of the guide member, and a heat pipe is accommodated in the groove.

Claims (24)

1. A heating plate comprising:

a heating member; and

a guide member, one surface of which comes into contact with the heating member and other surface of which comes into contact with a body to be heated to heat the body to be heated, wherein

the one surface of the guide member has plural grooves with intervals, with and a heat pipe is accommodated in the groove, and

wherein the heating member is a rubber heater having a heating element inside a silicone rubber.

2. A heating plate comprising:

a heating member; and

a guide member, into contact with the heating member and other surface of which comes into contact with a body to be heated to heat the body to be heated, wherein

the one surface of the guide member has plural grooves with intervals, and a heat pipe is accommodated in the groove,

wherein a heat-conductive tube is accommodated in at least one of the grooves of the guide member in place of the heat pipe, and

wherein the heat conductive tube is a copper tube.

3. A heating plate comprising:

a heating member; and

a guide member, one surface of which comes into contact with the heating member and other surface of which comes into contact with a body to be heated to heat the body to be heated, wherein

the one surface of the guide member has plural grooves with intervals, and a heat pipe is accommodated in the groove, and

wherein the other surface of the guide member is curved in an arc shape so as to surely come into contact with the body to be heated.

4. A process for producing a heating plate comprising: a heating member; and a guide member, one surface of which comes into contact with the heating member and other surface of which comes into contact with a body to be heated to heat the body to be heated, which comprises:

forming plural grooves on the one surface of the guide member; and

press fitting a heat pipe having a diameter larger than a width of the groove into the groove, thereby bringing an external periphery of the heat pipe into intimate contact with a surface of the groove.

5. A process for producing a heating plate comprising: a heating member; and a guide member, one surface of which comes into contact with the heating member and other surface of which comes into contact with a body to be heated to heat the body to be heated, which comprises

forming plural grooves on the one surface of the guide member;

accommodating a heat pipe in the groove;

placing a silicone rubber before vulcanization having a heating element inside the silicone rubber on the one surface of the guide member; and

vulcanizing for welding the silicone rubber while pressing it onto the guide member.
