A heat fixing device capable of preventing deterioration of a temperature
sensor by measuring the surface temperature of a heating roller at all
times, and an image forming apparatus. The heat fixing device includes a
temperature measurement unit for measuring the surface temperature of the
heating roller. The temperature measurement unit further includes the
temperature sensor, a conduit having a reflective surface formed inside
thereof to lead infrared rays radiating from the heating roller to the
temperature sensor, and a thermal insulation member installed between the
conduit and the temperature sensor.
