Abstract:
An enclosure includes a first enclosure and a second enclosure. A deflector deflects a light emitted from a light source. A first optical system leads the light emitted from the light source to the deflector. A second optical system includes at least one optical element, and leads the light deflected by the deflector onto a surface to be scanned. The first enclosure holds the light source, the deflector, and the first optical system, and the second enclosure holds the at least one optical element included in the second optical system.
Abstract:
A scanning apparatus for preventing defocus aberration is provided. The scanning apparatus includes a flatbed scanning portion and a scanning module. The flatbed scanning portion includes a glass platform. The scanning module includes a scanning module case, a light source, multiple reflective mirrors, a lens, an optical sensing element, a printed circuit board and a metallic post. The metallic post is interconnected between the scanning module case and the printed circuit board. The printed circuit board is not in direct contact with the scanning module case so as to prevent defocus aberration resulting from thermal expansion.
Abstract:
A lens array unit includes first and second lens array plates that oppose each other on opposite sides of a support member. Each of the lens array plates supports a set of lenses that are arranged in one direction and that have optical axes extending in a direction perpendicular to the one direction. The bending rigidity of the support member in the direction that the optical axes extend is higher than the bending rigidity of the first lens array plate in that direction.
Abstract:
An optical scanning module with linear CMOS image sensor (linear CMOSM) applied to scanners or multi-function printers is disclosed. The optical scanning module includes a light source for emitting light, a reflection mirror group, a focus lens group, and a linear CMOS image sensor having at least one linear CMOS image sensor unit and one A/D analog-digital converter. The light source can be a cold cathode fluorescent lamp (CCFL), a Xenon lamp or linear LED. Light emitted from the light source projects onto an object being scanned. Then the light reflected by the object being scanned becomes scanning light, passing through the reflection mirror group and the focus lens group and being focused on the linear CMOS image sensor for being converted into electrical signal. By A/D conversion of the linear CMOS image sensor unit in the linear CMOS image sensor, signal is sent out in USB or LVDS format so as to achieve high scanning speed, low distortion, large depth of focus and convenient transmission.
Abstract:
A multi-beam luminous source apparatus, an optical scanning apparatus, and an image formation apparatus are provided. The multi-beam luminous source includes a first member for supporting a coupling lens and a second member for supporting a control substrate that supports a Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser (VCSEL). The first member and the second member are joined with a screw at a reference plane that perpendicularly intersects an optical axis of the coupling lens. The second member includes a base member that supports the control substrate and a base member that includes a branch mirror, a convergent lens, and an optical detection sensor.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a scanning method, more particularly, to a two-directions scanning method by using a user interface (UI). At first, a scanning mode is chosen and the first dpi (dots per inch) of the preview procedure is set in the user interface. Then an instruction is keyed in the user interface to make a scan head move along the first scanning direction by using the first dpi and start the first scanning procedure. The first scanning procedure is a preview procedure. After finishing the first scanning procedure, a user can view the first image, which is got from the first scanning procedure, on a monitor and the scan head moves along the second scanning direction by using the second dpi to start the second scanning procedure. The second image data, which is got from the second scanning procedure, is saved in a memory. The second dpi is usually the highest dpi of the scan head. Following the needs of the user, the second dpi can be preset in the user interface to increase the scanning rate of the second scanning procedure. After the user selects a scope of the first image, which he or she wants to get, and the third dpi is set, the user interface will get the partial second image, which is corresponding to the scope of the first image that is selected by the user, by using a program to adjust a graph image coordinate and a dpi scale. At last, the third image, which is got according to the third dpi and the scope of the first image that he or she wants to get, is shown on the monitor.

Abstract:
A lens module includes a non-cylinder lens and a clamping apparatus. The clamping apparatus includes a base, two side parts, and a top part. Two side parts are disposed on two ends of the base to form a containing trough for holding the lens. One end of the top part is connected to one side part and the other end is fixed on the other side part. Two screw holes on the top part allow two adjusting screws to be screwed into for pressing the lens. Two elastic devices provide the elasticity between the lens and the base and the relative height of two sides of the lens is adjusted by turning the two adjusting screws.
Abstract:
A finely adjustable optical mechanism includes a base, a lens seat mounted on the base, a mirror set mounted on the base. A lens and an image sensor are mounted on the lens seat. A link is provided between the lens seat and the base. It is possible to move the lens seat relative to the base by rotating the link to move the lens seat or the base. Accordingly, the relatively positional relationship between the lens seat and the base can be finely adjusted.
