Abstract
A reflection mirror support structure, applied to support a reflection mirror of an optical scanner. Using three points or a single point and a line to construct a plane, projecting rib and projecting point are formed on a carrier to hold the reflection mirror. The image distortion caused by bending the reflection mirror and twist deformation because of structures not being parallel to each other is improved.
Claims7
A reflection mirror structure, disposed in a scan module bulk enclosure of an optical scanner to hold at least one reflection mirror, the reflection mirror comprising:
- a first supporting seat plate, formed on the scan module bulk enclosure and having a first supporting surface, on which a projecting rib is formed;
- second supporting seat plate, formed on the scan module bulk enclosure and having a second supporting surface, on which a projecting rib is formed, wherein the second supporting surface of the second supporting seat plate is level with the first supporting surface of the first supporting seat plate, the projecting rib on the first supporting surface is identical in height to the projecting rib on the second supporting surface, and these two projecting ribs are perpendicular to each other;
- and
- at least a clamping member to attach two ends of the reflection mirror to the first and the second supporting seat plates;
- wherein when the reflection mirror is attached to the first and the second supporting seat plates, bottom surfaces of the two ends of the reflection mirror are in line and line contact with the projecting ribs of the first and second supporting seat plates, respectively.
A reflection mirror structure, disposed in a scan module bulk enclosure of an optical scanner to hold at least one reflection mirror, the reflection mirror comprising:
- a first supporting seat plate, formed on the scan module bulk enclosure and having a first supporting surface, on which a projecting rib is formed;
- a second supporting seat plate, formed on the scan module bulk enclosure and having a first supporting surface, on which two projecting points are formed, wherein the second supporting surface of the second supporting seat plate is level with the first supporting surface of the first supporting seat plate, the projecting rib on the first supporting surface is identical in height with the projecting points on the second supporting surface, and the projecting rib is perpendicular to a line drawn by the projecting points;
- and
- at least a clamping member to attach two ends of the reflection mirror to the first and the second supporting seat plates;
- wherein when the reflection mirror is attached to the first and the second supporting seat plates, bottom surfaces of the two ends of the reflection mirror are in line and point contact with the projecting rib and projecting points of the first and second supporting seat plates, respectively.
