る。2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, an obstacle detecting device for a vehicle as an example of a reflection type optical device is disclosed in, for example, JP-A-59-92372. This device irradiates laser light from the light emitting element in the case to the object through the light emitting opening of the case, and introduces the laser light reflected by the object into the case through the light receiving opening of the case. Then, the light is received by the light receiving element, and the distance is measured by the time from the emission to the light reception. When this device is mounted on a vehicle, the light-emitting opening and the light-receiving opening are covered with a light-transmitting plate (cover) for protection from an external atmosphere and maintaining aesthetic appearance.

の要旨とするものである。In order to achieve the above object, in the present invention,
A light-emitting element arranged in a case, a light-emitting opening formed in the case, and for irradiating light from the light-emitting element toward an object; and a light-emitting opening in the case near the light-emitting opening. A light-receiving opening formed to receive light from the light-emitting element reflected by the object; a light-receiving element disposed in the case to receive light from the light-receiving opening; A light-transmitting plate that covers the light-receiving element and the light-receiving element, and that protects the light-emitting element and the light-receiving element from the external atmosphere, and that separates the light-emitting element and the light-receiving element in the light-transmitting element. The gist of the invention is a reflection type optical device for a vehicle, in which a light propagation blocking region is provided only on a surface on a side where the light emitting element and the light receiving element are arranged.

され受光用開口部に到ることが抑制される。Light from the light-emitting element is applied to the object through the light-emitting opening, and light from the light-emitting element reflected by the object passes through the light-receiving opening and is received by the light-receiving element. At this time, light from the light emitting element tends to propagate from the light emitting opening to the light receiving opening side while being totally reflected in the light transmitting plate, but on the surface on the side where the light emitting element and the light receiving element are arranged. Since the light propagation blocking region is provided only in the light transmission blocking region, it is possible to prevent the light propagation blocking region from reaching the light receiving opening.

A light propagation blocking region Z1 that becomes a rough surface was formed. That is, the area of the light transmitting plate 17 that separates the light-emitting opening 5a and the light-receiving opening 6a is made rougher than other parts. As a result, the light from the laser diode 8 (light emitting element) is transmitted to the light emitting opening 5a.
From the light transmission plate 17 to the light receiving opening 6a side while totally reflecting inside the light transmission plate 17, but the light transmission blocking region Z1 of the light transmission plate 17
Accordingly, its propagation is hindered, and reaching the light-receiving opening 6a is suppressed. As described above, it is possible to avoid a trouble due to light propagation to the PIN photodiode 12 via the light transmission plate 17 with a simple configuration without using the STC circuit.
In addition, since the STC circuit detects the laser light reception signal with sensitivity that changes with time, the pulsed light reception signal may be distorted and may not be able to accurately measure the distance to the object. By employing the structure of the embodiment, the distance can be accurately measured.
