さらに、停電のときは機能が停止して湿気が戻ってしま
うという、機能安定上の課題があった。Furthermore, there was a problem with functional stability, as the function would stop during a power outage and moisture would return.
本発明はこのような課題を解決することを目的とする。The present invention aims to solve such problems.
上記目的を達成するため、本発明は次のような画像形成
用紙収納装置を提供する。In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following image forming paper storage device.
すなわち本発明は、画像形成装置使用時にはその排熱を
蓄熱し、同装置非使用時にはその蓄熱を放熱し且つ画像
形成装置を乾燥させることができる蓄熱手段を備えた画

〔実施例］
本発明の実施例について、以下図河にしたがって本発明
の構成が実際上どのように具体化されるかをその作用と
ともに説明する。[Example] Regarding an example of the present invention, how the configuration of the present invention is actually embodied will be explained below along with its operation according to the diagrams.
第１図は本発明の一実施例の説明図であり、図中１は画
像形成装置である複写機の本体で、この本体ｌ内には定
着装置２が設けられている。FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram of one embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, 1 is a main body of a copying machine which is an image forming apparatus, and a fixing device 2 is provided within this main body 1. As shown in FIG.
この定着装置２は定着熱として必要な熱源を有するので
、その熱が同複写機内の他の装置を無用に熱するのを避
けるため、前記定着装置２付近に排熱用のファン３を設
けている。Since this fixing device 2 has a heat source necessary for fixing heat, a fan 3 for discharging heat is provided near the fixing device 2 in order to prevent the heat from unnecessarily heating other devices in the copying machine. There is.
このファン３には、排熱を他の場所へ誘導するための連
結管４が設けられている。This fan 3 is provided with a connecting pipe 4 for guiding waste heat to another location.
一方、複写機本体Ｉの下には画像形成用紙Ｐを収納する
ための画像形成用紙収納装置５があり、この収納装置５
内には前記連結管４が連結され、この連結管４によって
前記複写機内のファン３から排熱が誘導され送られてく
る。On the other hand, there is an image forming paper storage device 5 below the copying machine main body I for storing image forming paper P, and this storage device 5
The connecting pipe 4 is connected therein, and exhaust heat from the fan 3 in the copying machine is guided and sent through the connecting pipe 4.
この連結管４によって送られてくる排熱は、前記用紙収
納装置５内の温度を上げて前記収納された用紙を乾燥さ
せるとともに、同収納装置５内に設けられた蓄熱手段６
によってその熱を吸収され蓄熱される。The exhaust heat sent through the connecting pipe 4 increases the temperature inside the paper storage device 5 to dry the stored paper, and also causes a heat storage means 6 provided in the storage device 5 to dry the stored paper.
The heat is absorbed and stored.
この蓄熱手段６は、同蓄熱手段６自身より周囲の温度が
高いときはその高い温度を吸収し、反対に、同蓄熱手段
６自身より周囲の温度が低いときは、前記蓄熱した自身
の熱をその周囲に放熱するという性質を利用したもので
、その蓄熱手段６の機能をより良くするためには、蓄熱
の熱容量が大きいことと、放熱時間が長く持続性があり
、機能が安定していることが必要である。This heat storage means 6 absorbs the high temperature when the surrounding temperature is higher than the heat storage means 6 itself, and conversely, when the surrounding temperature is lower than the heat storage means 6 itself, it absorbs the stored heat. It utilizes the property of dissipating heat to its surroundings, and in order to improve the function of the heat storage means 6, it is necessary to have a large heat storage capacity, a long heat dissipation time, and a stable function. It is necessary.
前記蓄熱材の熱容量を大きくするためには、比熱の大き
いもの、または潜熱を利用した蓄熱手段６を選ぶことと
、同蓄熱手段６の体積をある程度大きくすることが必要
である。In order to increase the heat capacity of the heat storage material, it is necessary to select a heat storage means 6 that has a large specific heat or utilizes latent heat, and to increase the volume of the heat storage means 6 to some extent.
また、放熱時間を長く安定持続させるには、蓄熱手段が
対流しにくい物質または構成であること、などが考えら
れる。Further, in order to maintain the heat dissipation time stably for a long time, it is considered that the heat storage means is made of a material or structure that is difficult to cause convection.
さらに、熱伝導が良すぎると蓄熱が早い代わりに放熱も
早く、したがって放熱時間を安定持続させる目的に沿う
ことができない。Furthermore, if the heat conduction is too good, heat is stored quickly but heat is dissipated quickly, and therefore the purpose of stably sustaining the heat dissipation time cannot be met.
このような見地から、具体的には、例えば第２図に示す
ような蓄熱手段である蓄熱材６が用いられる。From this point of view, specifically, for example, a heat storage material 6 as a heat storage means as shown in FIG. 2 is used.
すなわち、蓄熱材６は無機質微小粒体６ａの空隙部６ｂ
に潜熱系蓄熱材６ｃが充填されてなるものである。That is, the heat storage material 6 is formed in the voids 6b of the inorganic fine particles 6a.
is filled with a latent heat type heat storage material 6c.
前記無機質微小粒体６ａとしては、例えばパーライト等
の多孔物質が使用され、粒径は５００ミフロン〜２ミリ
度とされる。As the inorganic microparticles 6a, a porous material such as pearlite is used, and the particle size is 500 microfron to 2 mm.
また、前記潜熱系蓄熱材６ｃとしては、例えばパラフィ
ン、塩化カルシニウム、６水塩（ＣａＣ１□）１．０）
などが使用される。Further, as the latent heat type heat storage material 6c, for example, paraffin, calcium chloride, hexahydrate (CaC1□) 1.0)
etc. are used.
これらの蓄熱材６は、さらに有機質被覆により被覆して
マイクロカプセル化してもよい。These heat storage materials 6 may be further covered with an organic coating to form microcapsules.
また、蓄熱手段である蓄熱材６は、前述のものの外、比
熱が大きい水をプラスチック容器に密封したもの、また
は比熱が大きくかつ対流しないゲル状のものであっても
よい。In addition to the above-mentioned materials, the heat storage material 6 serving as the heat storage means may be made of water with a large specific heat sealed in a plastic container, or a gel-like material with a large specific heat and no convection.
一般に、蓄熱・放熱など熱の移動は温度の高い方から低
い方へ向かって行われ、その温度差が大きいほど移動し
やすいという性質がある。Generally, heat transfer such as heat storage and heat radiation occurs from a higher temperature side to a lower temperature side, and the larger the temperature difference, the easier the movement is.
したがって、この蓄熱材の放熱による場合、周囲の温度
が下がれば放熱量も大きくなるという自動調節作用が働
き、周囲の温度を安定保持するように機能する性質があ
り、この蓄熱材による方法は、安定性にすぐれたものと
いえる。Therefore, in the case of heat radiation from this heat storage material, there is a self-adjusting effect in which the amount of heat radiation increases as the surrounding temperature decreases, and it has the property of functioning to maintain the surrounding temperature stably. It can be said that it has excellent stability.
第３図は本発明の他の実施例を示す図であり、この実施
例が前記一実施例と異なる点は、蓄熱手段である蓄熱材
６の配設位置が用紙収納装置５の下部側面にあることで
、そのため排熱を誘導する連結管４は多少長くなるが、
前記蓄熱材６の位置が低いことから放熱が用紙収納装置
内において合理的にむらなく行われる、という実施例効
果がある。FIG. 3 is a diagram showing another embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment is different from the above-mentioned embodiment in that the heat storage material 6, which is a heat storage means, is disposed at a lower side surface of the paper storage device 5. Because of this, the connecting pipe 4 that guides waste heat becomes somewhat longer,
Since the heat storage material 6 is located at a low position, this embodiment has the advantage that heat is radiated reasonably and evenly within the paper storage device.
以上、実施例について説明したように、本発明は画像形
成装置使用時にはその排熱を蓄熱し、非使用時にはその
蓄熱を放熱することによって画像形成用紙を乾燥させる
ことができる蓄熱手段を備えた画像形成用紙収納装置で
あり、ヒーターなどの電熱部材を用いず、安全で省エネ
対策に適し、停電時などにも安定した保温機能を維持で
きるものである。As described above with respect to the embodiments, the present invention provides an image forming apparatus equipped with a heat storage means that can store the waste heat of the image forming apparatus when it is in use, and radiate the stored heat when the image forming apparatus is not in use, thereby drying the image forming paper. This is a forming paper storage device that does not use electric heating components such as heaters, is safe and suitable for energy saving measures, and can maintain stable heat retention even during power outages.
