Example Embodiment

[0083] Embodiment 1.

[0084] Below, use Figure 1 to Figure 3 An example of an image reading apparatus according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention will be described.

[0085] The image reading apparatus 501 of the present embodiment roughly includes an imaging optical system 1 , a light source 2 , imaging element units 41 , 42 , . . . , a memory 5 , and a processing device 6 . Regarding these components, the light source 2 is arranged near the original document 7 which is an example of the object to be read in the image to be read, and the imaging optical system 1 is arranged so that the light reflected by the original document 7 can enter, and is appropriately The imaging element unit 41 and the like are arranged. Such an image reading device 501 reads the image of the original document 7 along the main scanning direction (X direction) 211 , and also scans the original document 7 in the sub-scanning direction (Y direction) 212 orthogonal to the main scanning direc...

[0135] Embodiment 2.

[0136] refer to Figure 9 to Figure 12 An example of the image reading apparatus 502 in Embodiment 2 of the present invention will be described.

[0137] In the image reading apparatus 501 according to Embodiment 1, the slave document in the chief rays in the cells 11 , 13 , . . . belonging to the first column 215 and the cells 12 , 14 , . 7 The rays directed towards each unit 11, 13, . . . and the unit 12, 14, . figure 2 shown parallel to each other and between cells 11, 13, . . . and cells 12, 14, . image 3 The rays from the original 7 toward the cells within the shown chief rays are also parallel. In addition, in an example of this embodiment, since the optical axis is a straight line, words such as the light rays from the document 7 toward each cell in the chief ray can be replaced with words such as the optical axis.

[0138] On the other hand, the image reading apparatus 502 in Embodiment 2 has the following structures: cells 11 , 13 , . . ...

Example Embodiment

[0145] Embodiment 3.

[0146] refer to Figure 13 An example of the image reading apparatus 503 in Embodiment 3 of the present invention will be described.

[0147] In the first and second embodiments described above, among the chief rays of the cells 11 , 12 , . . , the light rays 11 a , 12 a , . Alternatively, the units 11, 12, . . . are arranged in a slightly inclined manner. On the other hand, in the image reading apparatus 503 according to the third embodiment, the rays behind the bending mirrors 111 and 112 in the chief rays of the units 11 , 12 , . . . are made parallel or almost parallel to the top panel 3 The units 11, 12, . . . are arranged in parallel.

[0148] That is, in the image reading apparatus 503 in the third embodiment, scattered light from the original 7 to be incident on the cells 11, 12, . . . is provided between the original 7 and the cells 11, 12, . . . The bending mirrors 111, 112 bend the optical path. In this embodiment, the first bending mir...

Abstract

An image scanner includes a light source (2), an imaging optics system (1), an imaging element section (41), a memory (5), and a processor unit (6). The imaging optics system is an optics system for collecting scattered light reflected on an object being imaged to image such collected light as a picture image, and has a plurality of cells (11) and the like which are arranged plurally in a main scanning direction (211) as independent imaging optics systems respectively and form a telecentric optics system at a manuscript side, while arranging the cells in two lines in a sub-scanning direction (212). Each cell in a respective line is arranged in a zigzag pattern in the main scanning direction such that imaged pictures can be complemented between each cell in the sub-scanning direction. The imaging element section is arranged corresponding to each of the cells. The processor unit restores the image information stored on the memory to the picture images and synthesizes those picture images to create a manuscript image.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an image reading device used in copiers and the like. Background technique [0002] There are roughly two types of image reading devices used in copiers, scanners, facsimile machines, etc., which scan the image at the reading position using a one-dimensional imaging element to read the entire image . In addition, generally, the direction in which the one-dimensional imaging elements are arranged is called the main scanning direction, and the direction in which scanning is performed is called the sub-scanning direction. [0003] One of the two methods is a method in which the entire image in the main scanning direction is reduced and transferred to the imaging element through a single-eye lens, and is mainly used for surface reading in copiers. In this method, the imaging element and the lens normally located on the document side are fixed, and only a mirror (mirror) moves in the sub-scanning direction to scan the enti...
