Abstract:
Provided is a controlling device for controlling an image reading apparatus that optically reads an original, which includes a lighting controlling section that controls a first lighting section and a second lighting section which are the first and second lighting sections provided in the image reading apparatus, form each of the linear light emitting regions, and irradiate the original with light from directions intersecting with each other, and the lighting controlling section includes a first mode unit that controls the first and second lighting sections in a first mode in which one of the first and second lighting sections irradiates the original, a second mode unit that controls the first and second lighting sections in a second mode in which both of the first and second lighting sections irradiate the original.
Abstract:
In an image reader, an optical scanning unit reads an original image on an original document sheet. In the optical scanning unit, a lighting device is detachably attached to a housing to emit light toward the original document sheet. The housing houses a reading device to read the light reflected by the original document sheet. A shield member is detachably attached to the housing to shield the reading device from the lighting device to form a space for the reading device inside the housing. A slit is provided in the shield member to guide the light reflected by the original document sheet to the space for the reading device. A second positioner is provided on the shield member to engage a first positioner provided in the housing to position the reading device with respect to the lighting device.
Abstract:
An image reading apparatus has a platen, first and second carriages, a light source supported on the first carriage, a first mirror to deflect reflected light from the original document toward the second carriage, one or more second mirrors supported on the second carriage to guide the light from the first mirror to image reading device, and rail members. The first carriage has first and second mirror support portions for supporting one side edge portion of the first mirror by two points, and a third mirror support portion for supporting the other side edge portion by one point. The first carriage is supported slidably at its opposite side edge portions respectively on the rail members via slide members disposed at four right and left places including two front and back places, and a height position is adjustable for supporting the first mirror by one point.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an illuminating device capable of improving illumination efficiency of an illumination target such as manuscripts by suppressing the loss of light. SOLUTION: A light-guiding member 72 includes an extending portion 79 that extends from a surface of a base material 75 (a surface mounted with an LED array 71) to a left side end portion 75a to cover the left side end part 75a of the base material 75. Thus, the light emitted substantially parallel to the surface of the base material 75 from the LED array 71 is guided by the extending portion 79, and the loss of the emission light from the LED array 71 can be reduced.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a light irradiation device that allows a substrate to be positioned on an attached member, and also, prevents non-uniform luminance distribution in a main scanning direction on an original surface, and to provide an image reading apparatus and an image forming apparatus. SOLUTION: Three positioning pins 404 (protrusions) as a part to be positioned, integrally formed (molded) with a light guide plate 403 are inserted into three pin holes 404a and 404b as a light guide body positioning part, penetrating through a receiving base 405. The three positioning pins 404 are formed at three positions (center and both ends in a longitudinal direction) on the bottom surface of the light guide plate 403. Each of the positioning pins 404 is arranged between light emission centers of LEDs 192 so as not to face each of the LEDs 192. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a light irradiation apparatus capable of uniforming illuminance distribution on a light irradiation area while using full reflection of a light guide member by narrowly attaching the light guide member, to provide an image reading apparatus, and to provide an image forming apparatus. SOLUTION: A first carriage of an image reading section includes: an LED substrate 51 having a plurality of LEDs 43 linearly arranged in a main scanning direction; a light guide plate 403 opposing the light emitting surface of the LEDs 43 and guiding light emitted from the LEDs 43 to a light irradiation area of a light irradiation object; a receiving pedestal 405 for holding the LED substrate 51; a cover 406 for covering the LED substrate 51 and the light guide plate 403; and a positioning means such as a positioning pin 404 for positioning the light guide plate 403 on the receiving pedestal 405. The light guide plate 403 positioned by the positioning means is clamped by the cover 406 and the receiving pedestal 405. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
