Definitions
- the invention relates to a module of reflection mirrors, especially to a module of reflection mirrors of L-shape in an optical chassis of scanner, wherein a light is reflected in the module of reflection mirrors of L-shape to form a specific constant length of path for facilitating a scanned document to be focused into an image.
- a scanner of prior arts as shown in FIG. 1 has a main body 2 , of which surface has a transparent platen 3 , and inside which has an optical chassis 5 capable of repetitious displacement.
- a document 4 is placed on the transparent platen 3 and is covered by a cover 1 , and at this time, the optical chassis 5 in the main body 2 is displaced from one side of the platen 3 to scan the data of the document 4 for picking up image, and its motion is shown in FIG. 2 .
- optical chassis 5 inside which plural reflection mirrors are arranged for obtaining appropriate optical length to make the reflection light be focused into an image onto a CCD by a lens.
- FIG. 3 shows an example that plural mirrors reflect the light to obtain appropriate optical length.
- a first light source 501 irradiates a light toward a document 4 , and the light is reflected toward the first mirror 502 , the second mirror 503 , and the third mirror 504 in sequence to be focused into an image afterwards on the first CCD 506 by the first lens 505 .
- three reflection mirrors guide the light to obtain an appropriate optical length, thereby the volume of the optical chassis 5 is reduced, and therefore, someone applies the same principle with further more mirrors to achieve this object.
- the position problem is incurred more frequently, because a supporting point is needed for each mirror.
- the inventor addresses an ingenious design of a module of reflection mirrors of L-shape 508 that can effectively improve above-mentioned shortcomings.
- the main object of the invention is to provide a module of reflection mirrors of L-shape to combine mirrors and simplify components by applying an L-shaped structure, therefore, to reduce the manufacture cost and the assembling tolerance during manufacture and assembly.
- FIG. 1 is a three-dimensional view for a scanner.
- FIG. 2 is a plan side view for a scanner.
- FIG. 3 is an illustration for image picking-up of an optical chassis of scanner according to the prior arts.
- FIG. 4 is an illustration for image picking-up of the first embodiment of an optical chassis of scanner according to the invention.
- FIG. 5 is an illustration for image picking-up of the second embodiment of an optical chassis of scanner according to the invention.
- a module of reflection mirrors of L-shape according to the invention is provided to combine mirrors and simplify components and, therefore, to reduce the manufacture cost and the assembling tolerance during manufacture and assembly.
- a scanner according to the invention as shown in FIG. 1 has a main body 2 , of which surface has a transparent platen 3 , and inside which has an optical chassis 5 capable of repetitious displacement.
- a document 4 is placed on the transparent platen 3 and is covered by a cover 1 , and at this time, the optical chassis 5 in the main body 2 is displaced from one side of the platen 3 to scan the data of the document 4 for picking up image thereof, and its motion is shown in FIG. 2 .
- optical chassis 5 inside which a module of reflection mirrors of L-shape 508 is arranged for obtaining appropriate optical length to make the reflection light be focused into an image onto a CCD by a lens.
- the structure of the module of reflection mirrors of L-shape 508 is comprised of a first L-shaped mirror 5081 and a second L-shaped mirror 5082 .
- the second L-shaped mirror 5082 and the first L-shaped mirror 5081 are arranged in the optical chassis 5 and their recession portions are corresponded to each other.
- a second light source 507 irradiates a light toward the document 4 , the picked-up data on the document 4 is formed as an incident light entering into the module of reflection mirrors of L-shape with a specific angle.
- the reflective light leaves the set with another angle and is focused into an image onto a second CCD 510 by a second lens 509 .
- the design of optical length of said module of reflection mirrors of L-shape 508 is as follows: a first reflection zone 50811 is located at the upper portion of the first L-shaped mirror, while a second reflection zone 50812 is located at the lower portion thereof; a third reflection zone is located at the lower portion of the second L-shaped mirror, while a fourth reflection zone is located at the upper portion thereof.
- the incident light After entering the module, the incident light is reflected in sequence through the second reflection zone 50812 , the third reflection zone 50821 , the fourth reflection zone 50822 , the second reflection zone 50812 , the first reflection zone 50811 , the fourth-reflection zone 50822 , and the third reflection zone 50821 and leaves the module of reflection mirrors of L-shape 509 to be focused into an image onto the CCD 510 by the second lens 509 .
- One advantage of above structure is that two pieces of reflection mirror are manufactured integrally and formed into a single L-shaped mirror, such that the relative positions between two reflection mirrors (zones) are very accurate if the precision of manufacture is high enough.
- a first angle 50813 is formed between the first reflection zone 50811 and the second reflection zone 50812 , and if it is separated into two mirrors, each which has to be fixed with a fixation seat, so the accumulated tolerance after two mirrors being assembled is larger than the tolerance of one single integrated structure.
- a second angle 50823 is formed between the third reflection zone 50821 and the fourth reflection zone 50822 and, since it is formed integrally, so the accuracy of the second angle 50823 is more accurate than that of two separated mirrors.
- the accuracy of a pair of L-shaped mirror i.e., the first L-shaped mirror 5081 and the second L-shaped mirror 5082
- a first fixation seat 50814 and a second fixation seat 50824 is twice of that of the four mirrors that are fixed respectively by four separated fixation seats.
- this structure may simplify the number of parts, such that the supplies management and manufacture cost during manufacture are benefited.
- the incident light After being reflected from the document 4 , the incident light enters the module with a specific angle and is reflected again in sequence through the second reflection zone 50812 , the third reflection zone 50821 , the fourth reflection zone 50822 , the second reflection zone 50812 , the first reflection zone 50811 , the fourth reflection 50822 , and the third reflection zone 50821 , and then leaves the module of reflection mirrors of L-shape with an angle that is different from the entering angle.
- the optical length for this structure is different from that of aforementioned structure in that an additional round of light reflection is executed between the first L-shaped mirror 5081 and, the second L-shaped mirror 5082 . Therefore, in this invention, a simple modification on the first angle 50813 may just increase the optical length simply, and which is a convenient mechanism for design, and at the same time, a simple variation of angle may make the structure fulfilled the requirement of products with different optical lengths.
- the recession portion is made of metal material, it may be treated with polishing procedure to reach the object of reflection or, on the other hand, if the recession portion is made of materials of plastic or glass, a metal film may then be coated on the mirror for reflecting light.
