技術が開発された。 In recent years, for example, a document image can be created by reading an image of the document surface with a light-receiving element such as a CCD or BBD, converting this into an electrical signal, and then forming an image corresponding to this electrical signal using a laser or the like. A technique has been developed to reproduce it.

読み取ることができなくなり、画像を再現したと
きつぎ目の部分が連続的につながらず、再現画像
に白スジが現われることになる。 When reading a document with this light-receiving element, two light-receiving elements are sometimes used in parallel in order to increase the resolution and to simultaneously read the entire surface of a large document. When using two light-receiving elements in this way, if the distance between the light-receiving elements becomes larger than the initial setting value, the image cannot be read in the areas where the distance has increased, and when the image is reproduced, there will be no joints. The parts are not connected continuously, and white streaks appear in the reproduced image.
また、逆に、受光素子間の距離が初期の設定値
よりも小さくなると、隣接した受光素子により重
複して画像が読み込まれるので、画像の再現時に
接続部分に黒スジが現われることになる。 Conversely, if the distance between the light-receiving elements becomes smaller than the initial setting value, images will be read overlappingly by adjacent light-receiving elements, and black lines will appear at the connected portions when the image is reproduced.
そこで、この2個の受光素子を用いる場合に

手段には測定誤差があるので、受光素子の周囲の
温度を常に一定に保つことは不可能である。 Therefore, when using these two light receiving elements, it is necessary to keep the mutual distance between the light receiving elements constant. However, this mutual distance may change due to heat generation from the document illumination light source used when reading the document or an increase in the temperature outside the apparatus main body. One possible solution to this inconvenience is to maintain a constant temperature around the two light-receiving elements, but this requires a large temperature adjustment device, which is expensive and takes up a lot of space, making it impractical. do not have. Furthermore, even if the temperature adjustment device is provided, the temperature detection means has a measurement error, so it is impossible to always keep the temperature around the light receiving element constant.
本発明は上記従来の問題を解決することにあ

a connecting member that connects the respective supporting members;
The document reading device is characterized in that the support member is made of a material having a larger coefficient of linear expansion than the coupling member. In the above device, when the first and second upper plates and the middle plate are connected, if they are fixed at two or more points parallel to the optical axis, even if the upper plate and the middle plate are deformed due to thermal expansion, the upper plate 1. It becomes possible to move the second upper plate parallel to the optical axis.

Among the images of the central part b, let b 1 be the image formed on the first light receiving element 7 1 , and b 2 be the image formed on the second light receiving element 7 2.The self-scanning function In order to combine the electric signals output from each of the light receiving elements 7 1 and 7 2 again and reproduce the original original image, the distance c connecting b 1 and b 2 must always be constant. As mentioned above, if this distance c is larger than the initial setting value, a white stripe-like image will appear at the edge of the combined original image, and conversely, if the distance c is smaller than the initial setting value, a black stripe-like image will appear. Images occur at the same seam.

ある。 In this case, the light-receiving area a is the distance d between the optical axes of each lens and light-receiving element (when applied to ordinary copy paper,
Since it is much smaller than 120 to 160 mm, if we ignore the change in the distance d due to thermal expansion in the longitudinal direction of the photodetector itself, it will actually cause a problem even if the distance d is kept constant instead of the distance c. do not have. The present invention differs from the above-mentioned prior art by always keeping the distance d between the centers of the first reading section 81 and the second reading section 82 constant despite changes in the surrounding temperature of the light receiving element. It solves the problem that exists.

When using two or more screws 13 1 , make sure that the line m1 connecting the centers of each screw 13 1 is parallel to the optical axis k 1 to prevent thermal expansion of the upper plate 10 2 and middle plate 14. Even if it is deformed, it is possible to make this deformation parallel to the optical axis k1 .

画像の中央部にスジが発生したとする。 FIG. 4 shows a plan view of FIG. 3 viewed from above. In the figure, the distance between the first and second optical axes k 1 and k 2 is d, the distance between the optical axis k 1 and screw 13 1 is l 1 , the distance between optical axis k 2 and screw 13 2 is l 2 , and the distance between optical axis k 1 and screw 13 2 is l 2 . 1.Second screw 13 1 .
13 2 distance L (L=d+l 1 +l 2 ), screw 13 1
and the distance between screw 16 is L 1 , screw 16 and screw 13 2
Let the distance be L 2 (L 1 +L 2 =L), and the first upper plate 10
1 , the linear expansion coefficient of the second upper plate 10 2 is a 2 , and the linear expansion coefficient of the middle plate 14 is β. At this time, the spacing between the light receiving elements 71 and 72 was adjusted so that when the ambient temperature of the reading section was t1 °C, the reproduced image was continuously connected to the first and second light receiving elements. Assume that when the ambient temperature changes from t 1 °C to t 2 °C, a streak occurs in the center of the reproduced image.
上記スジ模様の発生原因を読み取り部を構成す

て、式で現わしてみると、まず、周囲温度がt1℃
のときの光軸k1と、k2間の距離d1は、
d1=L−(l1+l2)
=(L1+L2)−(l1+l2)
次に、t1℃からt2℃に変化したときの光軸k1と
k2間の距離d2は、
d2=L1{1+β(t2−t1)}
+L2{1+β(t2−t1)}
−l1{1+α1(t2−t1)}
−l2{(1+α2(t2−t1)}
=(L1+L2){1+β(t2−t1)}
−l1{1+α1(t2−t1)}
−l2{1+α2(t2−t1)}
=L{1+β(t2−t1)}
−l1{1+α1(t2−t1)}
−l2{1+α2(t2−t1)}
となる。 Considering that the cause of the above streak pattern is deformation due to thermal expansion of each plate that makes up the reading section, we can express it in a formula. First, if the ambient temperature is t 1 ℃
The distance d 1 between the optical axis k 1 and k 2 when Optical axis k 1 when changing to t 2 °C
The distance d 2 between k 2 is: d 2 =L 1 {1+β(t 2 −t 1 )} +L 2 {1+β(t 2 −t 1 )} −l 1 {1+α 1 (t 2 −t 1 )} −l 2 {(1+α 2 (t 2 −t 1 )} = (L 1 +L 2 ) {1+β(t 2 −t 1 )} −l 1 {1+α 1 (t 2 −t 1 )} −l 2 { 1+α 2 (t 2 −t 1 )} =L {1+β(t 2 −t 1 )} −l 1 {1+α 1 (t 2 −t 1 )} −l 2 {1+α 2 (t 2 −t 1 )} becomes.
一般的には、第1・第2上板101・102は
同一材料を使用し、且つ大きさも等しくするか
ら、
l2=α1=α2=α,l1=l2=lとできるの
で、
d2=L{1+β(t2−t1)}

となる。 Generally, the first and second upper plates 10 1 and 10 2 are made of the same material and have the same size, so l 2 = α 1 = α 2 = α, l 1 = l 2 = l. Since it is possible, d 2 = L {1 + β (t 2 − t 1 )}

ことが可能となる。 Here, if aluminum is used for the upper plate 10 1 and 10 2 and iron is used for the middle plate 14, the expansion coefficient α = 2.39 × 10 -5 , and the expansion coefficient β = 1.07 × 10 -5 . , At the same time, when reading the manuscript in the longitudinal direction of an A4 size paper, approximately d = L - 2l = 148 mm, so L = 267.8 mm and l = 59.9 mm. In other words, if the dimensions of the reading section shown in Figure 3 are configured to satisfy this condition, the distance d between the optical axes will always be constant no matter how the ambient temperature changes, so the reproduced image will be It becomes possible to prevent the generation of a striped pattern in the central part.

なる。 Next, as an example of materials for obtaining the same effect as the above example, let us consider a case where brass is used for the top plate and iron is used for the middle plate. At this time, the expansion coefficient of brass is α=
1.84×10 -5 , and the expansion coefficient of iron is β=1.07×
10 -5 , so from the above formula L=353.6mm, l=
It becomes 102.8mm. Also, when zinc is used as the top plate and iron is used as the middle plate, the expansion coefficient of zinc is α = 3.97 × 10 -5 , while the expansion coefficient of iron is β =
Since it is 1.07×10 -5 , similarly from the above formula, L=
202.6mm, l=27.3mm. Therefore, with regard to the above material, by setting the distance L while it is fixed by the screws 13 1 and 13 2 on both sides and the distance l from the fixed position to the optical axis of each lens to the above values, Even if the reading section expands or contracts due to temperature changes, it is possible to prevent the formed image from coming off the light-receiving element and creating a striped pattern on the reproduced image.
