Abstract

PURPOSE:To achieve a higher detection capacity while enabling the detection of an object to be inspected whether there is an object immediately after the position of detection by arranging a light emitting element juxtaposed in such a direction that the optical axis is in the same plane thereof but never crossing it, a reflection type photo sensor with a light receiving element and a reflector wall having a recess in front of the photo sensor. CONSTITUTION:When there is no object to be inspected, light from a light emitting element 1 advances in the direction of the arrow A, then in the direction of the arrow B against a reflector wall 3a and after reflected against a reflector wall 3b, it enters a light receiving element 2 as indicated by the arrow C, hence allowed to be detected. When there is an object 4 to be inspected, light from the light emitting element 1 advances in the direction of the arrow A and then in the direction of the arrow D reflected against the object 4, hence not allowed to be detected with the light receiving element 2. Thus, with an object 4 to be inspected, the light emitting element 2 is off while without the object 4, it on.

Conventionally, in a detection device using a reflective photosensor, the light emitting element 11 and the light receiving element 12 are arranged such that the optical axes of the light emitting element 11 and the light receiving element 12 intersect at a certain distance in the same plane, as shown in FIG. Co-located reflective photosensors are used. FIG. 3 u) Vi shows the detection state of the conventional example, in which light emitted from the light emitting element 11 enters in the direction of arrow E and hits the object 4 to be detected.

The light reflected there enters in the direction of arrow F and is detected by the light receiving element 12. However, as shown in Figure 3), if there is an object 5 such as a frame immediately after the detection position due to the restriction of the detection position, the light emitted from the light emitting element 11 will be reflected by the body 5 even if there is no object to be detected. 9, the light receiving element 12 detects the optical path of the arrow GH, making it impossible to detect the presence or absence of the object to be detected. The disadvantage is that the potential difference between the outputs of the elements is small, making it difficult to construct a circuit for detecting snowflakes.

To explain the present invention in more detail in the drawings, FIG. 1 shows one embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 1(a) shows the optical path when there is no object to be detected. Nine lights emitted from light emitting element 1 are indicated by arrow A.
It travels in the direction of arrow B, hits the reflective wall 3α, enters in the direction of arrow B, then hits the reflective wall 3b, is reflected, enters the light receiving element 2 as shown by arrow C, and is detected. ) in FIG. 1 shows the optical path when there is an object to be detected. The light emitted from the light emitting element 1 travels in the direction of arrow A and hits the object to be detected 4.
