Abstract
A fixing device includes a pressure changing portion which makes a switch between a pressurized state where a pressure region is pressurized and a depressurized state where the pressure region is depressurized. The pressure changing portion includes a support portion, an eccentric cam, and a restriction portion. The support portion moves within a range corresponding to the pressurized state and the depressurized state. The eccentric cam performs a reciprocating rotation while being in contact with or opposing a cam follower. The restriction portion restricts a rotation exceeding a reciprocating rotation range of the eccentric cam. The eccentric cam includes a pressure surface portion and a depressurization surface portion. The restriction portion interferes with a part of the support portion in a state where the pressure surface portion or the depressurization surface portion is in contact with or opposes the cam follower to restrict a rotation of the eccentric cam.
