Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent a photosensitive body from being exposured because a laser beam is reflected needlessly by a member supporting a mirror detecting horizontal synchronization. CONSTITUTION:The laser beam from a semiconductor laser 20 is reflected by a polygon mirror 24 and reflected by a mirror 27, and the photosensitive body 40 is scanned, and the laser beam is reflected by a mirror 51 for detecting horizontal synchronization and the horizontal synchronization is detected. The mirror 51 for detecting horizontal synchronization is supported by one side of a supporting member 50 whose horizontal section is formed roughly to a chevron, and the other side is arranged so as to be parallel to the optical axis of the laser beam, and the reflection angle in the mirror 51 for detecting horizontal synchronization by the other side of the supporting member 50. On a surface at the optical axis side of the laser beam of the other side of the supporting member 50, plural projections 52 whose horizontal section is nearly a triangle are formed along a right angle direction in the direction of scanning so as to reflect the laser beam out of the image area of the mirror 27, and then, it is prevented the laser beam from being reflected needlessly by the supporting member 50 and jumped into the image area of the mirror 27 and flare light occurs.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in the electrophotographic apparatus of this type, as shown in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 2, laser light modulated according to the image is emitted from the semiconductor laser 1 and deflected at a constant angular velocity by the polygon mirror 2, so that the laser light deflected at a constant angular velocity scans the photosensitive drum 5 at a constant velocity. Is corrected by the f-θ lens 3. The laser light corrected by the f-θ lens 3 is reflected by the image area of the mirror 4 and is reflected by the photoreceptor 5.
The image is imaged on the upper side, reflected by the horizontal synchronization detection mirror 6 supported by the support member 8 in the direction A in the drawing and guided to the end face of the optical fiber 7, and one main scanning, that is, horizontal scanning is detected.

The horizontal sync detection mirror 6 is supported by a support member 8 having a substantially V-shaped horizontal section and is arranged outside the image area near the end of the mirror 4, and the horizontal sync detection mirror 6 is provided. Needs to accurately guide the laser light to the end face of the optical fiber 7. In this case, the size of the horizontal sync detection mirror 6 may be made larger than the diameter of the end face of the optical fiber 7 in the scanning direction of the laser light, but adjustment is necessary in the direction orthogonal to the scanning direction, that is, the direction orthogonal to the drawing. And When this adjustment is performed, there are known methods of adjusting the end face of the optical fiber 7 in that direction and adjusting the angle of the support member 8 in that direction to adjust the reflection angle of the horizontal synchronization detection mirror 6. The latter method is easy. Therefore, the horizontal cross section of the support member 8 is formed in a dogleg shape, one of the support members 8 supports the horizontal synchronization detection mirror 6, and the other of the support members 8 is substantially parallel to the optical axis of the laser light. The other side of the support member 8 adjusts the reflection angle of the horizontal sync detection mirror 6.

However, in the above-mentioned conventional electrophotographic apparatus, the horizontal cross section of the supporting member 8 is formed in a substantially V shape, and one of the supporting members 8 supports the horizontal synchronization detecting mirror 6. Since the reflection angle of the horizontal synchronization detection mirror 6 is adjusted by the other support member 8, the laser light is reflected unnecessarily by the other support member 8 and jumps into the image area (direction of arrow B in the drawing), and therefore the flare occurs. There is a problem that light is generated and the photoconductor 5 is unnecessarily exposed by the flare light.
