Problems solved by technology

[0009] However, when a point-emitting light source such as a bullet-shaped LED is used as a light source for irradiating light toward a recording medium, unevenness of light intensity occurs within the detection area of ​​the area sensor.
Due to the unevenness of the light intensity, there is a limit to the determination accuracy of the type of recording medium.

[0063] figure 2 It is a diagram showing the arrangement and structure of the recording medium judging device 100 according to the first embodiment. like figure 2 As shown, the light irradiation unit 102 is disposed in contact with the uppermost surface 210A of the first surface of the bundle 210 of recording media P. As shown in FIG.

[0064] The light irradiation unit 102 includes: a light source 102B for irradiating light; and a light shielding unit 102A for limiting an irradiation range of the light irradiated by the light source 102B to the bundle 210 of recording media P.

[0065] The light shielding portion 102A has an inner space penetrating the bottom surface, and the light source 102B is provided in the inner space.

[0066] The light shielding portion 102A has a slit 102C on the bottom surface through which light passes. The light irradiated from the light source 102B is reflected inside the light shielding portion 102A, is irradiated through the slit 102C, and ...

[0120] The configuration of the recording medium judging device 100 according to the second embodiment is the same as that of the first embodiment except for the light source of the light irradiation unit 102 .

[0121] Figure 16 It is a diagram showing the arrangement and structure of the recording medium judging device 100 according to the second embodiment. like Figure 16 As shown, the recording medium judging apparatus 100 has a plurality of point light sources 102D instead of linear light sources.

[0122] The point light sources 102D can be selected from one or more types of incandescent lamps, LEDs, near-infrared LEDs, organic EL, and the like. The point light source 102D preferably contains near-infrared light. The reason is that the attenuation of near-infrared light by the recording medium is relatively slow.

[0123] Figure 17 is a diagram showing the arrangement of the point light source 102D. exist Figure 17 Among them, the curve 1701 represents the int...

[0130] The configuration of the recording medium judging device 100 according to the third embodiment is the same as that of the first embodiment except for the light source of the light irradiation unit 102 .

[0131] Figure 18It is a diagram showing the arrangement and structure of the recording medium judging device 100 according to the third embodiment. like Figure 18 As shown, the recording medium judging device 100 includes: a laser light source 102E; an optical fiber 102F, which guides the light emitted by the laser light source 102E; and a fixing device 102G, which arranges and fixes the optical fiber 102F in a straight line instead of a linear light source.

[0132] Figure 19 It is a sectional view of the vicinity of the optical fiber fixing device 102G. Figure 20 It is a figure which looked at the fixing device 102G of an optical fiber from the direction of the recording medium P.

[0133] like Figure 19 to Figure 20 As shown, laser light is irradiated towa...

Abstract

A recording media deciding apparatus has: a light radiating portion which radiates light having a uniform light amount on a range corresponding to an image capturing range of a first surface of a bundle of recording media; a light detecting portion which captures an image of light emitted from a second surface different from the first surface of the bundle of the recording media; and a controller which decides on a type of the recording media based on an output of the light detecting portion.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application is based on and claims priority from Japanese Patent Application No. 2011-086311 filed on Apr. 8, 2011, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference. technical field [0003] The present invention relates to a recording medium judging device, an image forming device, and a recording medium judging method. Background technique [0004] An image forming apparatus such as a copier, an MFP, or a printer forms an image on a recording medium. The recording medium includes, for example, various recording media such as thick paper, plain paper, and OHP film. [0005] In order to form high-quality images, the image forming apparatus optimizes the conditions of the image forming method and the fixing method according to the type of recording medium. Therefore, information on the type of recording medium, such as information on the type, thickness, density, etc. of the recording medium, is ...
