摘要:
There is disclosed a sheet feeding device having at least two vibration members pinching a sheet, which is frictionally driven by the travelling vibration waves generated in the vibration members. The device is further provided with a detector for detecting the state of vibration of the vibration members and generating a signal corresponding to the phase difference between the vibrations. The signal is used for correcting the vibration state of the vibrations members, thus significantly reducing the unevenness in the sheet feeding.

An encoder includes a scale member provided on one of two bodies which are relatively rotated and have gratings arranged in a relative rotating direction and a light irradiator for irradiating a first region with beams. A diffracted image of the first region is projected on a second region of the scale member. The encoder further includes a detector for detecting the beams from the second region. The relative rotation of the other body is detected based on a detected result thereof. A scale whose relative rotation to a rotation detecting device is detected by being irradiated with the beams from the encoder. The scale includes a base member formed with a grating having surfaces inclined to incident beams. In addition, a driving system causes relative rotation between the two bodies. This system includes a device for relatively rotationally driving the two bodies and a controller for controlling a driving condition of the driving device. A motor unit includes a motor module having rotation of its body detected by a result of a light irradiator and rotary shaft provided with a scale member. This unit further includes a supporting device for integrally supporting the body, the light irradiator and the detector.

An optical encoder includes a light-emitting unit, a scale with a discontinuous part, and a plurality of light-receiving elements arranged in relationship to a pitch of the scale. In the optical encoder, a light beam from the light-emitting unit reflects off the scale, and is received at the light-receiving elements. As a result of the processing of signals from the light-receiving elements, the discontinuous part is detected and the origin detection can be achieved.

In an optical encoder, a plurality of light sources is controlled on and off so as to use light rays to irradiate an optical grating of a scale from a plurality of different directions. The light rays are received by a plurality of photoreceptor elements. Operations are performed using signals output from the photoreceptor elements. Accordingly, the relative position between the photoreceptor elements and the scale is detected precisely.

A sensor signal processor includes a scale having optically or magnetically fine divisions; a detection sensor that moves with respect to the scale and that is provided in association with the divisions of the scale; and a position detecting unit for calculating positional information by using a counter value of digital pulse signals generated from the outputs from the detection sensor and analog signals generated from the outputs from the detection sensor. The sensor signal processor yields the positional information by using both the digital pulse signals and the analog signals.
