Description

Line illuminator and light supply apparatus
Technical field
The original copy that the present invention relates to use in the equipment such as facsimile machine, photocopier and scanner reads with line illuminator and light supply apparatus.
Background technology
The equipment such as facsimile machine, photocopier and scanner have original document reading apparatus, this original document reading apparatus, according to read word, the image information of master copy from the reverberation of master copy, carries the light supply apparatus for master copy is thrown light in this original document reading apparatus.
At this original copy, read with in light supply apparatus, the light supply apparatus that needs the high illumination field of illumination that a kind of width that can form sub scanning direction is large, as such light supply apparatus, following light supply apparatus is now proposed: possess and at one end configured the bar-shaped light guide of LED element and the first speculum and the second speculum configuring side by side with this light conductor, light conductor has the light from LED element to the first reflecting part of original copy mounting surface reflection and the second reflecting part (with reference to patent documentation 1) that the light from LED element is reflected to the second speculum.
Figure 16 means the key diagram of the structure of the light conductor in the existing light supply apparatus carrying in original document reading apparatus.In this light conductor 80, along the length direction formation light-emitting face 81 of this light conductor 80, the circumferential profile of the section that the length direction with light conductor 80 of light-emitting face 81 is vertical is circular-arc.At the relative side face of light-emitting face 81 with light conductor 80, with state outstanding on the radial direction at light conductor 80, along the length direction of this light conductor 80, form the first reflecting part 82, this first reflecting part 82 reflects the light from LED element 86 to original copy mounting surface (omitting diagram), and, the position separated with this first reflecting part 82 making progress in the week of light conductor 80, with state outstanding on the radial direction at light conductor 80, along the length direction of this light conductor 80, form the second reflecting part 83, this second reflecting part 83 reflects the light from LED element 86 to speculum (omitting diagram).In addition, between the light-emitting face 81 of light conductor 80 and the first reflecting part 82, be formed with the projecting strip part 85 for maintenance extending on the length direction of light conductor 80.87 for being configured to surround an end face of light conductor 80 and the speculum in the space between LED element 86.
Yet, in above-mentioned light supply apparatus, the first reflecting part 82 and the second reflecting part 83 in light conductor 80 form state outstanding on radial direction, light conductor 80 integral body are complicated shape, therefore the manufacturing cost of light conductor 80 itself is high, and owing to having used two speculums, so there is the problem that the manufacturing cost of light supply apparatus is high.
In order to address this problem, inventor of the present invention is to using for example columned light conductor of simple shape and using the light supply apparatus of a speculum to be studied.
As shown in figure 17, this light supply apparatus possesses: the bar-shaped light guide 90 consisting of translucent material; The LED element (omitting diagram) relatively configuring with the end face of these light conductor 90 length directions; And the speculum 20 configuring side by side with light conductor 90, the light from this light conductor 90 is reflected to original copy mounting surface 1.In addition, in Figure 17,2 represent original copy, and 5 represent original copy mounting table.
And, as light conductor 90, as shown in Figure 18 and Figure 19, use the rectangular columned light conductor with two row recess row, this recess is listed as by the depressed part 92H, the 93H(that arrange along its length a plurality of depressions to the inside with reference to Figure 19) and form.In this light conductor 90, a side of recess row is used as the first reflecting part 92 and is set to the light from LED element to reflect to original copy mounting surface 1, and opposite side is used as the second reflecting part 93 and is set to the light from LED element to speculum 20 reflections.
But, now known when using such light conductor 90 to form light supply apparatus, be difficult to form Illumination Distribution (below also referred to as " section the lighting ") field of illumination that uniformity is high of the sub scanning direction of original copy mounting surface 1.Below, for this problem, describe particularly.
In above-mentioned light supply apparatus, the light of injecting light conductor 90 from LED element penetrates to original copy mounting table 1 from the light-emitting face 91 of light conductor 90 by the first reflecting part 92, and to speculum 20, penetrate from the light-emitting face 91 of light guide plate 90 by the second reflecting part 93, and the light penetrating to speculum 20 reflects to original copy mounting surface 1 by this speculum 20.And in original copy mounting surface 1, from the first reflecting part 92, shine directly into field of illumination (below also referred to as " directly optical illumination region ") that light original copy mounting surface 1 (below also referred to as " directly light ") throws light on and by speculum 20, be irradiated to its part of field of illumination (below also referred to as " indirect light field of illumination ") that the light (below also referred to as " indirect light ") original copy mounting surface 1 throws light on from the second reflecting part 92 of light conductor 90 and overlap each other and form, thus, in this original copy mounting surface 1, be formed on the high illumination of the band shape of extending on main scanning direction field of illumination.
Yet, as shown in figure 20, the high illumination field of illumination being formed by above-mentioned light supply apparatus, the shape that the section lighting c of the overlapping synthetic light obtaining of section lighting b of the section lighting a of direct light and indirect light is presented to the lower such chevron of larger its illumination of distance at the center (original copy reads axle Y) apart from section, cannot form the high high illumination field of illumination of section cloth optical uniformity of expection.
The reason that such problem occurs is speculated as follows:, by the recess 92H of light conductor 90, the light that 93H reflects respectively, first by each reflecting part 92,93 optically focused to certain direction, and, also scioptics effect and optically focused in the light-emitting face 91 of this light conductor 90.Consequently, can expect that direct light and indirect light all become the light in original copy mounting surface 1 with precipitous illumination peak value.
As means that solve such problem, for example, consider to increase the means of the distance between light conductor and diffusely reflecting surface.
For example, as shown in figure 17, in above-mentioned light supply apparatus, light conductor 90 is kept platform 45 keep and fix towards the state of predetermined direction by light conductor with the light-emitting face 91 of light conductor 90.Particularly, in light conductor keeps platform 45, with section be circular light conductor 90 form fit form the drilled maintenance recess that leads to into tubbiness,, the integral body of light conductor 90 is embedded in the maintenance recess that light conductor keeps platform 45.And the surface of this maintenance recess is the diffusely reflecting surface 18 that makes light scattered reflection.By this diffusely reflecting surface 18, make light that the light conductor back sides from the outer surface of light conductor 90 and light-emitting face 91 opposition sides penetrate, with the state of scattered reflection, again incide this light conductor back side and be used, therefore can improve section cloth uniformity of light.
And the distance between this light conductor 90 and diffusely reflecting surface 18 is larger, can make the more diffusion of reflection of light direction penetrated from the light conductor back side, thereby it is better to make to improve the inhomogeneity effect of section lighting.
But, when distance between light conductor and diffusely reflecting surface is large, can cause the increase of product size, not therefore preferred.

The contour shape that light conductor 10 for example can be made the section vertical with its length direction is circular shape.The region towards original copy mounting surface 1 and speculum 20 in the outer peripheral face of this light conductor 10, along the length direction formation light-emitting face 11 of this light conductor 10.Outer peripheral face and light conductor back side light-emitting face 11 opposition sides at light conductor 10, formation is the first reflecting part 12 to 1 reflection of original copy mounting surface by the light from LED element 30, and, the position separated with the first reflecting part 12 making progress in the week at this light conductor back side, the second reflecting part 13 light from LED element 30 being reflected to speculum 20 along the length direction formation of this light conductor 10.
In the light supply apparatus of this example, the section vertical with the length direction of light conductor 10 is circular, therefore can easily manufacture this light conductor 10.
As shown in Figure 5, the first reflecting part 12 in this example and the second reflecting part 13 consist of recess row respectively, this depression be listed as by the outer surface at light conductor 10 along the length direction of this light conductor 10 arrange and forms, a plurality of recess 12H, 13H that cave in to the inside form. Such recess 12H, 13H is by being used CO 2the laser processing of laser aid and being formed on the outer surface of light conductor 10.
And, in the present invention, as shown in Figure 6, at the circumference separately that forms recess 12H, the 13H of the first reflecting part 12 and the second reflecting part 13, be formed with this recess 12H, the 13H continuum of states outstanding 12P of peripheral projection portion, 13P laterally.The such 12P of peripheral projection portion, 13P by use CO2 laser aid laser processing or with heating after the butts such as blade heating and melting processing and on the outer surface of light conductor 10, form with recess 12H, 13H simultaneously or after forming recess 12H, 13H.
As the size example that forms recess 12H, the 13H of the first reflecting part 12 and the second reflecting part 13, the depth d of recess 12H, 13H is 0.05mm, the width s of the length direction of light conductor 10 is 0.2mm, recess 13H spacing is in the longitudinal direction 0.4-0.6mm, and recess 12H spacing is in the longitudinal direction 0.7-1.0mm.
In addition, as the size example of the 12P of peripheral projection portion, 13P, width t is 0.05mm, and height h is 0.02mm.
In the light supply apparatus of this example, top and the distance k between diffusely reflecting surface 18 that separating distance shown in Fig. 7, between light conductor 10 and diffusely reflecting surface 18 is the 12P of peripheral projection portion, 13P in light conductor 10 are for example 0.2mm.
This is larger apart from k, uses the light diffuser efficiency of diffusely reflecting surface 18 higher.
Light conductor 10 consists of translucent material.As the translucent material that forms light conductor 10, can use the propylene resins such as plexiglass, cycloolefine polymer, cyclenes copolymer etc., by using such material and utilizing jet forming method can produce at an easy rate light conductor 10, and by laser processing, can be at an easy rate at the outer surface of this light conductor 10, form the first reflecting part 12 and the second reflecting part 13 being formed by a plurality of recess 12H, 13H.
As LED element 30, can use White LED element.
In addition, as forming the base station 41A in base 40A, 40B, the material of 41B, can use the metal materials such as aluminium, as forming light conductor, keep platform 45 and speculum to keep the material of platform 46 can use the resin materials such as the metal materials such as aluminium, polycarbonate resin.
In such light supply apparatus, the light radiating from LED element 30 is reflected mirror 31 reflections and guides to light conductor 10, and from the surface feeding sputtering of light conductor 10 to light conductor 10, by this light conductor 10, on the length direction of this light conductor 10, is guided.
As shown in Figure 8, on the length direction of light conductor 10, a part for directed light reflects by forming recess 12H, the 13H of the first reflecting part 12 and the second reflecting part 13 respectively, and penetrates from the light-emitting face 11 of light conductor 10.
On the other hand, on the length direction of light conductor 10, another part of directed light does not reflect to light-emitting face 11 by recess 12H, 13H, and from the light conductor back side, penetrate and arrive diffusely reflecting surface 18, there is scattered reflection and again incide light conductor 10 from the light conductor back side, by this light conductor 10 and from light-emitting face 11, penetrating.
Light the light penetrating from light-emitting face 11, that penetrate from the related region of the first reflecting part 12 (directly light) is irradiated to the one side of the original copy 2 loading in document board 5, and the light penetrating from the related region of the second reflecting part 13 is reflected mirror 20 reflections, and this reverberation (indirect light) is irradiated to the one side of the original copy 2 loading on document board 5.
And, in the one side of original copy 2, by the light from the first reflecting part 12, form direct optical illumination region, and form indirect light field of illumination by the reverberation from speculum 20.And, by a part separately for direct optical illumination region and indirect light field of illumination is overlapped each other, be formed on the high illumination of the band shape of extending on main scanning direction field of illumination.
Thus, light from the light that the light conductor back side is penetrated, by the 12P of peripheral projection portion, 13P is reflected by the 12P of this peripheral projection portion, 13P, and state little with the formed angle in the light conductor back side with light conductor 10 and that diffusion occurs penetrates (with reference to the arrow d of Fig. 8) from the light conductor back side.Therefore, in diffusely reflecting surface 18, irradiated the region D of light 1with the region D that there is no the situation of the 12P of peripheral projection portion, 13P 2compare expansion, therefore improved the diffusion effect of the light that is diffused reflecting surface 18 reflections and is again utilized.Consequently, needn't increase the separating distance between light conductor 10 and diffusely reflecting surface 18, just can form the high high illumination field of illumination of illuminance uniformity on sub scanning direction.
According to above-mentioned light supply apparatus, the 12P of peripheral projection portion, 13P are set, thereby make to inject to from the light conductor back side light outside light, by the 12P of this peripheral projection portion, 13P with by the 12P of this peripheral projection portion, 13P reflects and the state that spreads penetrates.Therefore, the region of irradiating light in this diffusely reflecting surface 18 is compared extended with the situation that there is no the 12P of peripheral projection portion, 13P, has therefore improved the diffusion effect of the light that is diffused reflecting surface 18 reflections and again utilizes.Consequently, needn't increase the separating distance between light conductor 10 and diffusely reflecting surface 18, just can form the high high illumination field of illumination of illuminance uniformity on sub scanning direction.

In the light supply apparatus of this example, size example as recess 22H, 23H, the degree of depth of recess 22H, 23H is 0.05mm, the width v1 of the recess 22H of the first reflecting part 22 on the length direction of light conductor 21 is 0.2mm, circumferential width w1 is 1.3mm, the width v2 of the recess 23H of the second reflecting part 23 on the length direction of light conductor 21 is 0.2mm, circumferential width w2 is 0.8mm, recess 23H spacing is in the longitudinal direction 0.4-0.6mm, and recess 22H spacing is in the longitudinal direction 0.7-1.0mm.
In addition, as the size example of the 22P of peripheral projection portion, 23P, Breadth Maximum u is 0.05mm, is highly 0.02mm.
By using CO 2the laser processing of laser aid, such recess 22H, 23H and the 22P of peripheral projection portion, 23P can be formed on the outer surface of light conductor 10.
Particularly, on the linear module that can move along the direction X of level, so that being the consistent mode of level and the length direction of light conductor 21 and the moving direction of linear module, the length direction of light conductor 21 loads light conductor 21.
CO is set directly over linear module 2laser.
Then, linear module is moved along direction X, thereby can select position on the length direction of light conductor 21, that should form recess 22H, 23H and the 22P of peripheral projection portion, 23P.On the other hand, make CO 2move the some position of laser, thereby can select the position that make progress in week, that should form recess 22H, 23H and the 22P of peripheral projection portion, 23P of light conductor 21.
In addition, can pass through CO 2width v1, v2 that the length direction of recess 22H, 23H is determined in the some footpath of laser, can pass through CO 2the displacement of the some position of laser is determined circumferential width w1, the w2 of recess 22H, 23H.Can pass through CO 2the degree of depth of power determination recess 22H, the 23H of laser and the Breadth Maximum u of the 22P of peripheral projection portion, 23P.

In this light conductor 70, along its length direction, form light-emitting face 71, the circumferential profile in the section vertical with length direction of this light-emitting face 71 is circular-arc.The periphery relative with light-emitting face 71 at light conductor 70, with the outstanding state of the radial direction to light conductor 70, along the length direction of light conductor 70, form and make the first reflecting part 72 to the reflection of original copy mounting surface from the light of LED element, and, the position separated with this first reflecting part 72 making progress in the week of light conductor 70, forms and makes the second reflecting part 73 to speculum reflection from the light of LED element along the length direction of this light conductor 70 with the outstanding state of the radial direction to light conductor 70.In addition, between the light-emitting face 71 of light conductor 70 and the first reflecting part 72, be formed on the projecting strip part 75 for maintenance extending on the length direction of light conductor 70.
The first reflecting part 72 and the second reflecting part 73 consist of recess row respectively, and this recess be listed as and by the outer surface at this first reflecting part 72 and the second reflecting part 73, forms a plurality of recess 72H, the 73H that cave in to the inside that arrange on the length direction of light conductor 70 and form.And, at this recess 72H, 73H circumference separately to be formed with laterally the outstanding 72P of peripheral projection portion, 73P with this recess 72H, 73H continuum of states.
In addition, for example as shown in figure 12, the top of the 12P of peripheral projection portion, 13P also can with diffusely reflecting surface 18 butts.
In the situation that the temperature of the material of light conductor 10 basis such as propylene etc. or the variation of humidity are expanded or shrink, light conductor 10 and light conductor keep separating distance Yin Wendu in the longitudinal direction of platform 45 or damp condition and non-constant, cause sometimes the illuminance uniformity step-down of the main scanning direction in high illumination field of illumination.
Yet, by in a manner described the 12P of peripheral projection portion, 13P being used as to isolation part, light conductor 10 and light conductor keep the separating distance between platform 45 have nothing to do and remain constant with humidity or temperature conditions, therefore, can form the high high illumination field of illumination of illuminance uniformity on major-minor scanning direction.
