Abstract:
A development device includes an imaging lens and light shielding walls. The imaging lens includes a body part having a constant diameter and both end parts arranged at both ends in an optical axial direction having diameters larger than the body part to capture a reflected light from a document onto an imaging part. The light shielding walls has a space with an interval larger than the diameter of the body part and smaller than the diameters of the both end parts, allowing the body part of the imaging lens to be arranged in the space, and shielding a light in the optical axial direction.
Abstract:
A document reading apparatus includes a sensor configured to receive light from a document, an imaging lens configured to form an image of light from the document on the sensor, a first holding member to which the imaging lens is fixed, and a second holding member to which the sensor is fixed, wherein the first holding member and the second holding member are fixed using an adhesive and solder.
Abstract:
A lens unit includes a tube lens; a single lens arranged at a downstream side with respect to the tube lens in an optical incidence direction; and a supporting member that supports the tube lens and the single lens. Reflection light from a document is condensed on an image sensor by the tube lens and the single lens to form an image. An end surface part, not facing the tube lens, of the single lens is in direct contact with the supporting member.
Abstract:
A reflection reading light guide that emits light of a reflection reading light source, from a reflected light emission surface to bill S; a transmission reading light guide that emits light of a transmission reading light source, from a transmitted light emission surface to bill S; a rod-lens array that focuses reflected light from the bill S and/or transmitted light transmitted through bill S; a light receiving element that receives light collected by the rod-lens array; and a frame including a housing portion that houses the reflection reading light guide are disclosed. A light blocking portion that protrudes from the reflected light emission surface of the reflection reading light guide toward optical axis Z of the rod-lens array is included in the housing portion, and includes a positioning reference surface for the reflection reading light guide. Influence of stray light is reduced, and accuracy of read image is improved.
Abstract:
A deflector deflects a light beam from a light source. A scanning optical system focuses the light beam deflected by the deflector. An image carrying member is located at a focal position of the light beam and includes a surface that is scanned in a main scanning direction with the light beam focused by the scanning optical system. One pixel of an image is formed by a plurality of light spots having different focal positions in at least a sub-scanning direction. At least one light spot from among the light spots is formed on the surface of the image carrying member at a scan timing different from those of rest of the light spots.
Abstract:
An image reading apparatus includes: a light irradiating means for irradiating light to a subject having images to be read; an image forming means for making the light from the subject incident on an image plane so as to form images as erected images; and a photoelectric conversion means for converting the incident light of the erected images into image signals, wherein the image forming means is constituted of a plurality of lens arrays that have a mutually identical shape and property and are sequentially disposed, sharing common light axes, between the subject and the photoelectric conversion means, and the respective lens arrays are formed by integral molding of a plurality of lenses, and an aperture provided with light passing holes with the light axes as the center is interposed at least between the plurality of lens arrays, and areas other than the light passing holes in the aperture form light shielding areas.
Abstract:
A document reading apparatus includes a document positioning plate on which a document is placed, an image-forming unit configured to cause a light from the document to form an image, a reading unit configured to receive the light from the document which has passed through the image-forming unit, a supporting member for supporting the image-forming unit, a fixing member for fixing a reading element, and a frame member for holding the image-forming unit, the supporting member, the reading element and the fixing member.
Abstract:
An image reading device includes a light source; a light guiding member; an imaging optical system that reflects the light, which faces a first direction from the object, in a second direction intersecting the first direction by a reflective plane disposed in the first direction of the object, that makes the light, which is reflected by the reflective plane, converge toward the second direction by an emission portion disposed in the second direction of the reflective plane, and that images an erect equal-magnification image of the object in the second direction of the emission portion; and an optical sensor that is disposed in the second direction of the emission portion of the imaging optical system, and detects the erect equal-magnification image that is imaged by the imaging optical system, in which the light guiding member is disposed at an object side of the emission portion in the first direction.
Abstract:
A protruding locking pawl is provided at an end of a light guide which corresponds to a first light input surface. A recessed locking portion is formed in a frame so that the locking pawl can be locked in the locking portion. A light blocking member is slidably loosely inserted into a position where the light blocking member covers a longitudinal end of the light guide which corresponds to a second light input surface. Even if expansion and contraction occurs in the longitudinal direction of the light guide, the design dimensions of a first gap A and a second gap B can be maintained; the first gap A is formed between the first light input surface and a first light source, and the second gap B formed between the second light input surface and a second light source. Therefore, possible leakage current can be prevented.
