In a slit exposure type copier, the projection optical system is
It is arranged vertically downward with respect to the document placed on the illuminated portion on the document surface (hereinafter referred to as stage glass). Therefore, it is generally necessary to illuminate the illuminated part from diagonally below the illuminated part. Generally, in the illumination optical system of a slit exposure type copying machine, as shown in FIG.
The original on the stage glass 1 is illuminated, and the original on the stage glass 1 is passed through the slit 9 by the projection lens 2 and onto the photoreceptor 3.
projected on top. Among these, in the illumination device, first of all, among the light emitted from the tubular light source 5 disposed on one side of the optical path from the illuminated part 4 corresponding to the slit 9 to the projection lens 2 on the stage glass 1, the upper part of the light on the stage glass 1 side is reflected. The light reflected by the mirror 6a is reflected by an auxiliary reflecting mirror 7 located on the opposite side of the upper reflecting mirror 6a across the optical path of the projection lens 2, and illuminates the illuminated portion 4. On the other hand, a lower reflector 6b located on the opposite side of the stage glass 1 from the tubular light source 5
The illuminated portion 4 is directly illuminated by the reflected light from the light. Among these two methods, there are many methods in which the irradiated area 4 is irradiated from the left and right obliquely downward directions. FIG. 2 shows the illuminance distribution of the illuminated area 4 on the stage glass 1 surface by the illumination device for slit exposure shown in FIG. Here, the curve A1 is the illuminance distribution due to the upper reflecting mirror 6a, the peak of the illuminance value is on the optical path center 8, and the illuminance value decreases rapidly as it deviates from the optical path center 8. Also, curve B 1
is the illuminance distribution due to the lower reflector 6b and is a curve
Similar to A 1 , the peak of the illuminance value is on the optical path center 8, and the illuminance value rapidly decreases as it deviates from the optical path center. The curve C1 shows the illuminance distribution obtained by combining the upper reflecting mirror 6a and the lower reflecting mirror 6b, and the peak of the illuminance value is on the optical path center 8, and the peak of the illuminance value is on the optical path center 8 and the end of the illuminated part 4. The illuminance ratio increases. Therefore, even if the light emitting part (filament) of the tubular light source 5 shifts slightly, the illuminated part 4
The illuminance distribution within the lens varies greatly, and it is difficult to adjust the exposure amount using the slit 9.

Conventionally, two methods have been considered to improve this problem. The first method is to change the mounting angle of the auxiliary reflector 7 shown in FIG. This method provides a wide illuminance distribution by reducing the curvature of the reflecting mirror 6b while keeping its focal point fixed, and the slope of the illuminance distribution is made gentler. In this case, more light leaks out of the illuminated section 4, and illumination efficiency decreases. As a second method, the tubular light source 5
There are two methods: applying diffusion treatment to the bulb to equivalently enlarge the light-emitting surface, or giving the reflecting mirror diffusive properties to widen the illuminance distribution. In this case as well, the efficiency of illuminating the illuminated portion 4 decreases as described above.

In addition, when considering the case of illuminating a thick document, the stage glass 1 should be placed for the thickness of the document (approximately 5 mm).
In the upper part, the peaks of the illuminance distribution due to the upper reflector 6a and the lower reflector 6b move separately away from the optical path center 8, so that the illuminated part 4
Further, more light leaks out to the outside, and the efficiency of illuminating the illuminated area 4 is significantly reduced. Therefore, the edge of a thick document (approximately 5 mm above the stage glass surface)
There was a drawback that the amount of light was insufficient and the edges of thick originals were printed black.

In general, the light beam that diverges from a light source spreads in proportion to the square of the distance, and when that light beam is reflected by a quadratic curved column reflector, its 2
The light flux changes according to the properties of the following curve, and the axial direction of the reflecting mirror has the property of maintaining the state before being reflected. That is, in the case of the upper reflecting mirror 11a, the light emitted from the axial center F1 of the tubular light source 5 is reflected by the upper reflecting mirror 1.
Until it reaches 1a, it diverges in proportion to the square of the distance, and after reflection it converges toward the elliptical focal point in the cross-sectional direction, and diverges in the axial direction as before reflection. As a result, the illumination intensity by the upper reflector 11a is determined by the distance between the axial center F1 of the tubular light source 5 and the upper reflector 11a, and the distance from the upper reflector 11a to the 4th surface of the illuminated part. The distance from 11a to the 4th surface of the illuminated part is not significantly different from the distance of each optical path, and the illuminance in this part decreases in proportion to the first power of the distance. The illumination intensity is mainly at the axial center F 1 of the tubular light source 5
It is determined by the distance from to the upper reflecting mirror 11a. That is, the shorter this distance is, the higher the illuminance on one surface of the stage glass becomes. Therefore,
The illuminance distribution by the upper reflecting mirror 11a is the same as that of the tubular light source 5.
The maximum value is produced by the ray having the shortest distance between the ray and the upper reflecting mirror 11a, as shown by curve A 2 in FIG. Actually, since the tubular light source 5 is not a perfect linear light source, the distribution is slightly spread out. Similarly, the illuminance distribution by the lower reflector 11b is
The curve becomes like curve B2 in Fig. 4, which has the maximum illuminance closer to the light source side. Curve C 2 in FIG. 4 is a composite illuminance distribution of curves A 2 and B 2 .

In this way, the position of the light source and the upper reflector 11
By selecting the quadratic curve shape of a and the lower reflecting mirror 11b, it is possible to efficiently realize a flat illuminance distribution within the illuminated portion 4. Furthermore, the ratio of the amount of light irradiated within the illuminated portion 4 by each of the upper reflecting mirror 11a and the lower reflecting mirror 11b can be made equal.

The illuminance distribution C 2 obtained as above is almost uniform within the illuminated area 4, so even if the illuminance distribution deviates from the exposure adjustment slit 9, the illuminance distribution C 2 is generally larger in the illuminated area 4. Therefore, photosensitive drum 3
The change in exposure amount will be small. In addition, when adjusting the exposure amount using the exposure amount adjustment slit 9,
The exposure amount changes linearly, making it easier to adjust.

FIG. 5 shows the illuminance distribution at about 5 mm above the surface of the stage glass (corresponding to the thickness of a thick document, the position indicated by b in FIG. 3) in the illumination device shown in FIG. The curve A 2 ′ in FIG. 5 is the illuminance distribution due to the upper reflector 11a, and
Since the illuminance is irradiated from the second side, the illuminance distribution on the stage glass 1 is generally shifted toward the light source side from the curve A2 in FIG. 4. However, since the peak of the illuminance value on the stage glass 1 side is on the auxiliary reflector 12 side,
Most of the irradiated light can illuminate the illuminated section 4 . Also, the curve B 2 ' in Fig. 5 is the lower reflector 1.
This is the illuminance distribution due to the reflected light of 1b, which is shifted toward the auxiliary reflecting mirror 12 compared to the illuminance distribution on the stage glass 1 surface. However, since the peak of the illuminance value on the stage glass 1 surface is set on the light source side, most of the irradiated light is
The illuminated part 4 can be illuminated, and the peak value of illuminance approaches the center of the illuminated part 4. Moreover, with these upper reflector 11a and lower reflector 11b,
The left and right sides of the illuminated area 4 can be efficiently illuminated with the same amount of light, and when copying a thick document, when the edges and sides of the original pass through the illuminated area 4, the left and right illumination light is always emitted. Illumination will be more efficient with either of these methods.

In the above embodiment, the upper reflecting mirror 11a and the lower reflecting mirror 11b have one quadratic curve, but the upper reflecting mirror 11a and the lower reflecting mirror 11b may be quadratic curve columnar reflecting mirrors different from the above-mentioned shape. Similar results can be obtained by connecting different quadratic curved column reflecting mirrors.

[Scope of Claims] 1. A tubular light source located on one side of the optical path from the illuminated part on the stage glass to the projection lens, a columnar main reflecting mirror partially surrounding the tubular light source, and the columnar main reflecting mirror sandwiching the optical path. In an illumination device comprising a flat plate-shaped auxiliary reflecting mirror located on the opposite side, a lower reflecting mirror of the columnar main reflecting mirror located on the opposite side of the illuminated area with the tubular light source as the center focuses the tubular light source. It is a reflecting mirror having a quadratic curve shape, and the reflected light from the lower reflecting mirror directly illuminates the position where maximum illuminance occurs in the illuminated part so that it is closer to the light source than the center of the optical path of the illuminated part, and Among the main reflecting mirrors, the upper reflecting mirror located on the illuminated part side with the tubular light source as the center is an elliptical reflecting mirror with the tubular light source as the first focal point and a second focal point below the stage glass. The columnar main reflecting mirror and the auxiliary reflecting mirror are configured so that the reflected light from the reflecting mirror illuminates the position where maximum illuminance occurs in the illuminated area via the auxiliary reflecting mirror so that it is closer to the auxiliary reflecting mirror than the center of the optical path. A lighting device for slit exposure characterized by the following features. 2 Among the reflected lights from the upper reflector and the lower reflector, each light reflected at the portion of the upper reflector and the lower reflector where the distance between the tubular light source and the reflector is the minimum illuminates the position of maximum illumination. An illumination device for slit exposure according to claim 1.
