As disclosed in the publication, the method of moving the light source or light receiving part is extremely useful because it enables high-precision distance measurement with a simple configuration, but as has been pointed out, The fact that the light emitting element and the light receiving element are the same size is called superposition. However, when light emitting diodes, which are generally used as a light source in a method such as the one described above, are manufactured in large quantities, there is no difference in size. occurs, and if this variation is left as it is, it will cause a decrease in accuracy. On the other hand, if elements are selected in order to prevent this, the cost will increase.

−である。At this time, the waveform of the signal light incident on the light receiving element 5 is $183.
As shown in WA, if the peak of this waveform is detected, the emitting and receiving optical axes will match, that is, the angle θ mentioned above can be found.
Object distance can be detected @In this case, if the size of the emitted image and the received image are different on the object plane, the beak becomes flat as shown in the signal waveform al14 above, and noise etc. Due to the influence of By aligning the receiving optical axes well, a good signal as shown in Figure 3 can be obtained with simple adjustment, and high precision can be achieved regardless of the uneven alignment of the P1 receiving bulkhead 5 and deterioration of Kjl attachment accuracy. C) 14 distances can be carried out. Figure 5 shows details of an example of a mask 80 placed just before the light receiving element 5. Reference numeral 11.12 is a mask plate, which is attached to a part of the light receiving element holder (not shown). It is fixed and rotatably supported on a round shaft 13, and is engaged with a pin 14a at the tip of an adjustment lever 1412) at the long extending portions 11m and 121, respectively.Adjustment lever 14t1 also includes a light receiving element holder, etc., not shown. The tail end has a notch 14b for adjustment and a length for engaging with a screw 16 for fixation.
5146. In such a configuration, the - joint lever 14 can be cut in the notch 14b K at the tail end thereof by, for example, a screwdriver uniform O tool according to the engagement of its length @1i14c with the screw 16. By moving the bottle 14m up and down as shown by the middle arrow, the mask plate 11 is connected to the long grooves 1111m and 12m of the bottle 14m.
.. 12 is relatively displaced, thereby changing the size of the aperture formed, and thus the light receiving area of the light receiving element 5 can be adjusted. Of course, the lever 14 can be fixed by firmly screwing in the screw 16 at an appropriate position.
