Heating device and apparatus using member to be heated
A heating device includes a heating unit that heats a member to be heated, which is transported, as a result of a contact portion of the heating unit being in contact with the member to be heated, a heat pipe that is disposed on a portion of the heating unit different from the contact portion in such a manner as to extend in a widthwise direction crossing a transport direction of the member to be heated and that includes a crimped portion formed at a first end of the heat pipe, and a power-supply connection unit that is disposed on a second end side of the heat pipe and that is connected to a wiring line through which power is supplied to the heating unit.
1. A heating device comprising:
a heating unit that heats a member to be heated, which is transported, as a result of a contact portion of the heating unit being in contact with the member to be heated;
a heat pipe that is disposed on a portion of the heating unit opposite to the contact portion in such a manner as to extend in a widthwise direction crossing a transport direction of the member to be heated and that includes a crimped portion formed at a first end of the heat pipe; and
a power-supply connection unit that is disposed on a second end side of the heat pipe and that is connected to a wiring line through which power is supplied to the heating unit.
2. The heating device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the crimped portion is provided with a hygroscopic member disposed in such a manner as to be in contact with or close to the crimped portion.
3. The heating device according to claim 2 ,
wherein the heating unit heats the member to be heated that is transported from a lower side to an upper side in such a manner as to pass through the heating unit, and
wherein the power-supply connection unit is disposed at a position that corresponds to an end of the heating unit, the end being located on the upper side.
4. The heating device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the heating unit heats the member to be heated that is transported from a lower side to an upper side in such a manner as to pass through the heating unit, and
wherein the power-supply connection unit is disposed at a position that corresponds to an end of the heating unit, the end being located on the upper side.
5. An apparatus using a member to be heated comprising:
a transport unit that transports a member to be heated; and
a heating device that heats the member to be heated, which is transported by the transport unit,
wherein the heating device is formed of the heating device according to claim 1 .
6. A heating device comprising:
heating means for heating a member to be heated, which is transported, as a result of a contact portion of the heating means being in contact with the member to be heated;
a heat pipe disposed on a portion of the heating means opposite to the contact portion in such a manner as to extend in a widthwise direction crossing a transport direction of the member to be heated, the heat pipe including a crimped portion formed at a first end of the heat pipe; and
a power-supply connection unit disposed on a second end side of the heat pipe, and connected to a wiring line through which power is supplied to the heating means.
