IMAGE HEATING DEVICE AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS

摘要

An image heating device includes a rotatable image heating member for heating an image on a recording material; a pressing member for pressing the image heating member to form a nip in which the recording material is to be nip-conveyed; a belt member for heating the image heating member in contact with the image heating member; a first belt heating member for heating the belt member while pressing the belt against the image heating member; a second belt heating member, provided downstream of the first belt heating member with respect to a rotational direction of the image heating member, for heating the belt member while pressing the belt member against the image heating member; a first heating portion for heating the first belt heating member by energization; and a second heating portion for heating the second belt heating member by energization. Each of the first heating portion and the second heating portion is supplied with power so that a maximum of the power supplied to the first heating means is smaller than that of the power supplied to the second heating portion.
