Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image reading device capable of realizing both compaction and cost reduction with simple configuration.SOLUTION: A holder 27 and a contact glass 28 are brought into adhesion state by using a liquid adhesive agent on one side on the upstream side of transport direction of a script where a white sheet 33 is placed, and brought into adhesion state by using a double-sided tape on three other sides. Since the contact glass 28 is bonded using a double-sided tape more inexpensive than a liquid adhesive, excepting one side, cost can be reduced. Since a liquid adhesive agent having adhesive strength per unit area stronger than a double-sided tape is used, the length of an upstream adhesive part 44 in the script transport direction can be smaller than that of the downstream adhesive part 41, and thereby the contact glass 28 and holder 27 can be made smaller. Consequently, both compaction and cost reduction of the image reading device can be realized with simple configuration of bonding at the upstream adhesive part 44, where the length in the script transport direction is made smaller than the downstream adhesive part 41, by using a liquid adhesive agent.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 4

Description

  The present invention relates to an image reading apparatus and an image forming apparatus including the same.

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there has been used an image reading apparatus that can read image information of documents that are sequentially conveyed while automatically feeding and conveying the documents loaded on a document tray one by one. As an image reading device, a device has been proposed in which reading sensors are arranged on each of the ADF (Auto Document Feeder) side for feeding a document and the scanner unit side provided with a platen glass so that both sides of the document can be read simultaneously. (Patent Document 1). The reading sensor reads the image information of the original by imaging the reflected light of the light irradiated toward the original on the image sensor and photoelectrically converting the read sensor, and the reading sensor on the ADF side is accommodated in the holder.

The contact glass transmits light emitted toward the document by the reading sensor, and transmits reflected light reflected by the document as the light is irradiated. The reading sensor reads image information at a reading position based on reflected light received through the contact glass.

  In addition, the white member is superimposed on the contact glass at a position different from the reading position of the reading sensor on the ADF side, more specifically at a position where the light irradiated by the reading sensor on the scanner unit side can pass through the contact glass. Is arranged. The white member is disposed as a background of an image read by the reading sensor on the scanner unit side.

Japanese Patent No. 4869409

  Recently, there has been a demand for further cost reduction and miniaturization of image reading apparatuses. Therefore, it is conceivable to use a double-sided tape having a relatively low cost for attaching the contact glass to the holder. However, when using a double-sided tape, it is necessary to secure an adhesive area on the contact glass that can ensure the adhesive strength of the double-sided tape, and the adhesive area deviates from the reading position of the reading sensor and the position where the white member is superimposed. Must be in position. For this reason, the contact glass is enlarged by an amount corresponding to the adhesive region of the double-sided tape. If the contact glass is enlarged, the holder to which it is attached must be enlarged, which is contrary to miniaturization.

  On the other hand, if a contact glass is attached to a holder using a liquid adhesive without using a double-sided tape, the adhesive area can be reduced compared to the double-sided tape, which contributes to downsizing. However, liquid adhesives are expensive compared to double-sided tapes, and are difficult to apply in an appropriate amount that does not protrude from the bonding area. It tends to be. In view of the above, an image reading apparatus that achieves both a reduction in size and a reduction in cost has been conventionally desired, but such a device has not yet been proposed.

  SUMMARY An advantage of some aspects of the invention is that it provides an image reading apparatus that achieves both downsizing and cost reduction, and an image forming apparatus including the image reading apparatus.

  An image reading apparatus according to the present invention includes: a sheet conveying unit that conveys a sheet in a sheet conveying direction; a reading unit that irradiates light toward the conveyed sheet and can read image information on one surface of the sheet; A white member that reflects light, the reading unit and the white member arranged side by side in the sheet conveying direction, and a container that can swing in a thickness direction of a sheet conveyed by the sheet conveying unit, and the reading unit And a transmissive member that transmits light, and is attached to the container so as to cover the white member, and the container is attached to the reading unit in the sheet conveyance direction in an attachment region of the transmissive member. A first adhesive portion between the white member and the end opposite to the white member, and a second adhesive portion between the white member and the end opposite to the reading means, The first adhesive portion is a double-sided tape. The transmissive member and the container are bonded to each other by the adhesive, and the second adhesive portion is bonded to the transmissive member and the container by the liquid adhesive, and the length in the sheet conveying direction is the first It is smaller than one adhesive part.

  According to the present invention, the transmission member and the container can be bonded to each other by the liquid adhesive at the second bonding portion having a smaller length in the sheet conveying direction than the first bonding portion in which the transmission member and the container are bonded by the double-sided tape. It is possible to achieve both reduction in size and cost of the image reading apparatus with a simple configuration in which the image reading apparatus is bonded.

FIG. 3 is a partially enlarged view showing a part of an image reading unit in an enlarged manner. The perspective view which shows a holder and contact glass. Schematic which shows the holder seen from the attachment side of contact glass.

  Hereinafter, an image reading apparatus and an image forming apparatus according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings.

[Image forming apparatus]
The image forming apparatus according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. The image forming apparatus 100 is, for example, an electrophotographic laser beam printer. As shown in FIG. 1A, the image forming apparatus 100 includes a printer main body 70 and an image reading unit 10 mounted on the upper portion of the printer main body 70.

  The printer main body 70 has an image forming engine 60 inside a housing 70 </ b> A that forms the printer main body 70. As shown in FIG. 1B, the image forming engine 60 includes an electrophotographic image forming unit PU and a fixing device 7. When the image forming unit PU is instructed to start an image forming operation, the photosensitive drum 1 as a photosensitive member rotates, and the drum surface is uniformly charged by the charging device 2. Then, the exposure apparatus 3 modulates and outputs a laser beam based on image data transmitted from the image reading unit 10 or an external computer, and scans the drum surface to form an electrostatic latent image. The electrostatic latent image is developed with toner supplied from the developing device 4, whereby a toner image is formed on the drum surface.

  In parallel with such an image forming operation, a sheet is fed from a cassette or a manual feed tray (not shown). The fed sheet is conveyed to the image forming unit PU as the image forming operation progresses by the image forming unit PU. The toner image formed on the drum surface is transferred to the sheet by the transfer roller 5. The toner remaining on the drum surface after the transfer of the toner image is collected by the cleaning device 6. The sheet on which the toner image is transferred is transferred to the fixing device 7. In the fixing device 7, the sheet is sandwiched between a pair of rollers and heated and pressed. As a result, the toner is melted and fixed, and the image is fixed on the sheet. The sheet on which the image is fixed is discharged out of the housing 70A by a pair of discharge rollers (not shown). The sheet mentioned here includes, in addition to plain paper, special paper such as coated paper, recording material having a special shape such as envelope and index paper, and a plastic film or cloth for an overhead projector.

  The printer main body 70 is equipped with a control unit 80. The control unit 80 includes a central processing unit (CPU) that performs overall control of the overall operation of the image forming apparatus 100 and a memory that stores programs executed by the CPU, image information, and setting information. The control unit 80 can control the image forming engine 60 to execute an image forming operation for forming an image on a sheet different from the document D1 (a sheet fed from the cassette (not shown) or the manual feed tray). is there.

  The image forming engine 60 is an example of an image forming unit capable of forming an image on a sheet different from the document D1, and uses an intermediate transfer system configuration including an intermediate transfer body instead of the direct transfer system described above. Alternatively, other mechanisms such as an ink jet method may be used.

  As shown in FIG. 2, an image reading unit 10 as an example of an image reading device includes an ADF 11 that automatically feeds a document D1 (see FIG. 1A) placed on a document tray 14, and an upper surface. And a scanner unit 12 provided with a document table glass 30. An ADF 11 (Auto Document Feeder), which is an example of a sheet feeding device, is rotatably supported with respect to the scanner unit 12 by a hinge or the like (not shown) so that the document table glass 30 can be exposed on the upper surface side. ing. That is, although not shown, the image reading unit 10 includes a main body frame that constitutes the scanner unit 12 and a frame that constitutes the ADF 11 and can be opened and closed with respect to the main body frame. The sheet used as the document D1 may be a blank sheet or an image formed on one side or both sides.

  As shown in FIG. 1A, the ADF 11 discharges the document D1 on the document tray 14 on which the document D1 is placed, the document transport unit 15 that transports the document D1 fed from the document tray 14, and the document D1. A discharge tray 29 is provided. The document transport section 15 has a document transport path 22 curved in a substantially U shape. The document transport unit 15 includes a pickup roller 17, a separation roller 18, a separation pad 19, a document stopper 20, a document presence / absence sensor 21, a transport roller pair 23, a discharge roller pair 24, and a document edge sensor 25 along the document transport path 22. Is arranged.

  The ADF 11 and the scanner unit 12 are provided with reading sensors 16 and 26 that can read image information of the document D1, respectively. As the reading sensors 16 and 26, for example, the image information surface of the document D1 is irradiated with light emitted from a light source, and the reflected light reflected by the image information surface of the document D1 is imaged on the image sensor by the lens to read the image information. A contact image sensor is used (see FIG. 3 described later).

  Here, an operation of the image reading unit 10 reading the image information of the document D1 while feeding the document D1 by the ADF 11 (flow-reading operation) will be described with reference to FIG. First, the user places the document D1 on the document tray 14. At this time, the leading end position of the document D1 is regulated by the document stopper 20, and the document D1 is detected by the document presence / absence sensor 21. The control unit 80 determines whether or not a document is placed on the document tray 14 based on the detection result of the document presence / absence sensor 21. When the document is placed on the document tray 14, the following operation is performed. Control can be performed.

  When the user instructs to start reading via an operation unit (not shown), the document stopper 20 is pushed down by a driving force supplied from a drive unit (not shown), and the document D1 is separated from the separation roller 18 and the separation pad 19 by the pickup roller 17. It is conveyed to the separation part between. Then, the uppermost document D 1 is separated from other documents by the separation pad 19, and the separated document D 1 is sent to the document conveyance path 22 by the separation roller 18. The document D1 sent to the document conveyance path 22 is conveyed by the conveyance roller pair 23 along the document conveyance path 22 toward a reading position by the reading sensors 16 and 26.

  Thereafter, when the leading edge of the document D1 is detected by the document edge sensor 25, image information is read by the reading sensors 16 and 26 at a timing when the leading edge of the document D1 is conveyed by a predetermined amount from the detection position of the document edge sensor 25. Be started. The reading sensor 26 disposed on the ADF 11 reads image information from the first surface of the document D1, and the reading sensor 16 disposed on the scanner unit 12 receives image information from the second surface opposite to the first surface of the document D1. read. That is, the image information on both the first side and the second side of the document D1 being conveyed is simultaneously read.

  The document D1 that has passed the reading positions of the reading sensors 16 and 26 is conveyed toward the discharge roller pair 24. When the trailing edge of the document D1 is detected by the document edge sensor 25, image information of the reading sensors 16 and 26 is read at a timing when the trailing edge of the document D1 is conveyed by a predetermined amount from the detection position of the document edge sensor 25. Reading ends. Then, the document D1 is discharged to the discharge tray 29 by the discharge roller pair 24. Such a reading operation is repeated until the document presence sensor 21 detects that there is no document placed on the document tray 14.

  In addition to the above-described flow reading operation, the image reading unit 10 reads the image information of the document D1 placed on the document table glass 30 by the user without feeding the document D1 by the ADF 11 (fixed). Reading operation). In this case, the document D1 is moved by moving the reading sensor 16 of the scanner unit 12 along the document table glass 30 in the sub-scanning direction (left and right direction in FIG. 1) while the document is placed on the document table glass 30. The image information on one side of the second side is read.

  Here, the configuration of the image reading unit 10 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 3 is a partially enlarged view showing, in an enlarged manner, a partial range of the image reading unit 10 marked with the symbol X in FIG. As shown in FIG. 3, each reading sensor 16 (26) includes a light guide 161 (261), a lens array 162 (262), and an image sensor 163 (263). The reading sensor 16 (26) irradiates the light emitted from the lens array 162 (262) toward the document D1 conveyed through the document conveyance path 22 by the light guide 161 (261). Then, the reading sensor 16 (26) reads the image information of the document D1 by forming an image of the reflected light reflected by the document D1 with light irradiation on the image sensor 163 (263) and performing photoelectric conversion.

  Hereinafter, the reading position of the reading sensor 16 in the document conveyance direction, that is, the optical axis position of the lens array 162 is defined as a first reading position Pa, and the reading position of the reading sensor 26, that is, the optical axis position of the lens array 262 is defined as a second reading position Pb. And The document conveyance direction (right direction in FIG. 3) in the image reading unit 10 corresponds to the sheet conveyance direction, and the document conveyance path 22 corresponds to the sheet conveyance path. Also, the direction intersecting the document transport direction (depth direction in FIG. 3) is called the document (sheet) width direction, and the direction intersecting the document transport direction and document width direction (vertical direction in FIG. 3) is the document (sheet). ) In the thickness direction.

  A reading sensor 16 as another reading unit is supported by the carriage 160. The carriage 160 is movable in the sub-scanning direction (left and right direction in FIG. 3) with respect to the main body frame of the scanner unit 12. The carriage 160 is moved in the sub-scanning direction through the lower part of the original table glass 30 during the fixed reading operation, but is kept stationary at the illustrated position without being moved during the flow reading operation.

  A contact glass 50 is attached to the main body frame of the scanner unit 12 so as to cover the reading sensor 16 at the first reading position Pa. In addition, a pressing member 31 such as a spring for biasing the reading sensor 16 toward the contact glass 50 (or the document table glass 30) is disposed between the reading sensor 16 and the carriage 160. The reading sensor 16 reads image information from the second surface of the document D1 through the document table glass 30 in the fixed reading operation, and reads image information on the second surface of the document D1 through the contact glass 50 in the case of the flow reading operation.

  On the other hand, a reading sensor 26 as a reading unit is accommodated in a holder 27, and the holder 27 is disposed on the side opposite to the reading sensor 16 with respect to the document conveyance path 22. As will be described later in detail (see FIGS. 4 and 5), a contact glass 28 as a transmissive member can be attached to the holder 27.

  The holder 27 is supported by a frame 110 of the ADF 11 as a frame body so as to be swingable in the thickness direction of the document D1 at the second reading position Pb. A pressing member 32 such as a spring that biases the holder 27 toward the contact glass 50 is disposed between the holder 27 and the frame 110. As a result, the document conveyance path 22 is formed between the contact glass 50 and the contact glass 28. The reading sensor 26 reads image information on the second surface of the document D1 conveyed through the document conveyance path 22 through the contact glass 28 during the flow reading operation.

  In the case of the present embodiment, the peripheral speed of the discharge roller pair 24 in the flow reading operation is set larger than the peripheral speed of the transport roller pair 23 (see FIG. 1). In other words, the peripheral speed of the first transport roller pair disposed upstream of the image reading unit 10 is set to be smaller than the peripheral speed of the second transport roller pair disposed downstream of the image reading unit 10. ing. This reduces the bending and wrinkling of the document D1 between the transport roller pair 23 and the discharge roller pair 24, so that the effects of improving the stability of the transport operation and improving the image quality of the read image can be easily obtained. The conveyance roller pair 23 and the discharge roller pair 24 are both examples of a sheet conveyance unit that conveys the document D1 (sheet), and are not limited thereto. As the sheet conveying means, other conveying members such as a conveying belt may be used.

  The holder 27 will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5 with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 4, the holder 27 as a container includes a housing part 27a that houses and holds the reading sensor 26 (see FIG. 3), and a support frame part 27b supported by the housing part 27a. An opening 27c is formed in the accommodating portion 27a, and light can be emitted from the reading sensor 26 accommodated in the accommodating portion 27a (inside the accommodating body) to the outside of the accommodating portion 27a through the opening 27c. That is, the document D1 conveyed through the document conveyance path 22 during the flow reading operation is opposed to the reading sensor 26 on the opening side.

  The support frame part 27b is provided in the opening part 27c of the accommodating part 27a. The support frame portion 27b is provided with a white sheet 33 that is an example of a white member that reflects light so as to face the reading sensor 16 (more specifically, the lens array 162) at the first reading position Pa. Moreover, the support frame part 27b has the attachment area | region (adhesive part 41-44 mentioned later) which attaches the contact glass 28 as a transmissive member. The contact glass 28 is attached to the support frame portion 27b such that the white sheet 33 is sandwiched between the contact glass 28 and the support frame portion 27b. This is to prevent the white sheet 33 from becoming dirty by arranging the white sheet 33 in the holder rather than the contact glass 28. The white sheet 33 is a member having high brightness such as white, and is sandwiched between the support frame portion 27 b and the contact glass 28 and functions as a background of an image read by the reading sensor 16.

  The contact glass 28 is attached so as to close the opening 27c. The contact glass 28 is made of glass, transparent plastic, or the like and is formed in a plate shape so as to transmit light. Therefore, the light emitted from the reading sensor 26 can be transmitted outside the holder through the contact glass 28, and the reflected light reflected by the document D 1 can be transmitted into the holder through the contact glass 28.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the support frame portion 27 b has adhesion portions 41 to 44 to which the contact glass 28 can be adhered and attached. In the present embodiment, the downstream adhesive portion 41 is downstream in the document conveying direction, the adhesive portions 42 and 43 serving as edge adhesive portions are both ends in the document width direction, and the upstream adhesive portion 44 is upstream in the document conveying direction. Are formed on the four sides of the support frame 27b so as to surround the opening 27c. When the contact glass 28 is bonded to these bonding portions 41 to 44, the holder 27 is sealed. By sealing the holder 27 in this way, entry of dust or the like into the holder from the outside is prevented, and erroneous detection of the reading sensor 26 is prevented.

  The holder 27 has a downstream adhesive portion 41 as a first adhesive portion between an end portion 27d opposite to the white sheet 33 with respect to the reading sensor 26 in the document conveyance direction. Further, the holder 27 has an upstream adhesive portion 44 as a second adhesive portion between the white sheet 33 and an end portion 27 e on the opposite side of the reading sensor 26. The upstream bonding portion 44 is formed on one side upstream of the white sheet 33 in the document conveyance direction, avoiding the white sheet 33. The length of the upstream bonding portion 44 in the document conveyance direction is smaller than the length of the downstream bonding portion 41 in the document conveyance direction. For example, the length of the downstream adhesion portion 41 in the document conveyance direction is about 4 to 6 mm, and the length of the upstream adhesion portion 44 (more specifically, a groove 90 described later in detail) in the document conveyance direction is about 1 to 2 mm. Note that the lengths in the width direction of the original of the upstream adhesive portion 44 and the downstream adhesive portion 41 are formed to be substantially the same. Further, the adhesive portion 42 and the adhesive portion 43 may be formed so as to have substantially the same length in the document transport direction and the length in the width direction of the document.

  In the case of the present embodiment, the contact glass 28 and the support frame portion 27b are brought into an adhesive state with a double-sided tape at other adhesive portions 41 to 43 other than the adhesive portion 44 (other than the second adhesive portion). That is, double-sided tape is affixed to the adhesive portions 41 to 43. In order to make it easy to apply the double-sided tape and to prevent the double-sided tape from being peeled off, the adhesive portions 41 to 43 have flat and smooth smooth surfaces. Note that the double-sided tape attached to the adhesive portion 41 has substantially the same length as the adhesive portion 41 in the document transport direction.

  On the other hand, the contact glass 28 and the support frame portion 27b are brought into a bonded state at the upstream bonding portion 44 by a liquid adhesive having a stronger bonding force per unit area than the double-sided tape. As the liquid adhesive, for example, an ultraviolet curable adhesive that cures when irradiated with ultraviolet rays is used. This is because, as described above, the upstream adhesive portion 44 has a smaller length in the document transport direction than the downstream adhesive portion 41. This is because it is insufficient (weak). That is, if a double-sided tape is used in the upstream adhesive portion 44, the length of the double-sided tape in the document transport direction must be increased in order to secure the adhesive force at the upstream adhesive portion 44. However, since the upstream bonding portion 44 is adjacent to the white sheet 33, it is difficult to increase the length of the double-sided tape in the document conveyance direction. In order to increase the length of the double-sided tape in the document conveyance direction, it is conceivable to increase the contact glass 28 upstream in the document conveyance direction, but this is difficult to adopt because it is contrary to the downsizing of the apparatus.

  As described above, when the upstream adhesive portion 44 is bonded using a liquid adhesive, if the liquid adhesive protrudes from the upstream adhesive portion 44, the contact glass 28 or the white sheet 33 may be contaminated by the protruding liquid adhesive. There is. In order to avoid this, the upstream bonding portion 44 has a groove 90 (see FIG. 3) to which a liquid adhesive can be applied. By applying the liquid adhesive so as to be poured into the groove 90, the contact glass 28 can be adhered to the support frame portion 27b in an appropriate amount that does not protrude around the groove 90.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the holder 27 (specifically, the support frame portion 27b) and the contact glass 28 are bonded to each other on the upstream side in the document conveyance direction where the white sheet 33 is disposed using the liquid adhesive. In the other three sides, a double-sided tape is used for adhesion. In this way, the cost can be suppressed by bonding the contact glass 28 using a double-sided tape that is cheaper than the liquid adhesive except for one side. Further, by using a liquid adhesive having a stronger adhesive force per unit area than that of the double-sided tape, the upstream adhesive portion 44 may have a length in the document conveying direction smaller than the length of the downstream adhesive portion 41 in the document conveying direction. . That is, the contact glass 28 and thus the holder 27 can be made smaller accordingly. Thus, the size of the image reading apparatus can be reduced with a simple configuration by bonding the holder 27 and the contact glass 28 using the liquid adhesive at the upstream bonding portion 44 having a length in the document conveying direction smaller than that of the downstream bonding portion 41. And cost reduction can be realized.

  In the above-described embodiment, the case where the white sheet 33 is arranged upstream of the lens array 262 in the document conveyance direction in the reading sensor 26 has been described (see FIG. 3), but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the present embodiment can be applied even when the white sheet 33 is disposed downstream of the lens array 262 in the document conveyance direction. That is, the holder 27 and the contact glass 28 are bonded to each other on the downstream side in the document conveying direction where the white sheet 33 is arranged using a liquid adhesive, and the other three sides are bonded using a double-sided tape. Is done. In this case, the downstream adhesive portion 41 is smaller in length in the document transport direction than the upstream adhesive portion 44.
