In an optical scanning device, a housing has a structure divided into an upper stage and a lower stage by a mounting plate on which a deflector, a first optical system and a second optical system are mounted. A first optical system reflection mirror and a second optical system reflection mirror are mounted in the other of the upper stage and the lower stage in which the deflector is not mounted. Each of the first optical system and the second optical system is disposed across a region including the upper stage and the lower stage. The first optical system reflection mirror and the second optical system reflection mirror are disposed with the deflector located therebetween. The first optical system reflection mirror is disposed on a side of the second optical system, and the second optical system reflection mirror is disposed on a side of the first optical system.

An image forming device scans and exposes a photoreceptor with a luminous flux by a light scanning device, which includes a polygon mirror that deflects the luminous flux and scans the photoreceptor in a main scanning direction, a correction unit that corrects a scanning position of the luminous flux in the main scanning direction such that the scanning position of the luminous flux coincides with each reference position, and a position deviation detection unit that detects the deviation amount of the scanning position of the luminous flux in a sub scanning direction. The correction unit corrects the scanning position of the luminous flux in the main scanning direction such that a screen line with an aimed screen angle is formed by scanning with the luminous flux whose scanning position in the sub scanning direction has deviated by the deviation amount detected by the position deviation detection unit.

According to an image forming apparatus and an exposure position adjusting method of one aspect of the present invention, an exposure section scans a plurality of light beams to form a plurality of electrostatic latent images periodically along a main-scanning direction of the photoreceptor at a predetermined pitch in a sub-scanning direction of the photoreceptor. Next, a surface potential detecting section detects electric potentials of the plurality of electrostatic latent images formed on the surface of the photoreceptor, along the main-scanning direction. Furthermore, a controller calculates exposure timings by the plurality of light beams in the exposure section on the basis of a detection result by the surface potential detecting section.

An optical scanning device has a housing in which a duct surrounds a space from the deflector and its circumference to an outlet in insulation from the optical system, and guides gas from an inlet to the space. A positioning member is shaped as a pillar that protrudes from the floor of the duct towards the deflector and has a tip to contact with the deflector to locate the rotation axis of the polygon mirror at a position relative to the housing. The positioning member further limits a clearance between an outer surface of the deflector and the floor to secure therein a flow path of the gas.
摘要:
A light beam scanning device deflecting, by using a rotating polygon mirror, a light beam emitted from a light source and condensing, by using a scanning lens, the deflected light beam onto a scanned surface. The light beam scanning device includes: a base made of a metal or a resin; a motor unit attached to the base and rotating the polygon mirror; a holding member holding the scanning lens; and one or more fixing members disposed between the base and the holding member, fixing the holding member to the base with the scanning lens spaced away from the base. In the light beam scanning device, the base has, between at least one of the fixing members and the motor unit, a penetrating hole or groove around which heat transmitted from the motor unit through the base to the fixing member passes.
