Abstract
By combining a sensing module having a lens and an image sensor with a carriage module having a mirror set, a reading device of a scanning apparatus is assembled. The sensing module further includes two channels at bilateral sides of the lens and two guiding slots disposed on external sides of the channels. The carriage module further includes two linear tracks corresponding to the channels and two bolt hole pedestals corresponding to the guiding slots. The sensing module is glided on the carriage module when the linear tracks are embedded in corresponding channels, thereby correcting the desired magnification.
Claims20
A reading device of a scanning apparatus, comprising:
- a sensing module comprising a lens and an image sensor, wherein said sensing module further comprises two channels at bilateral sides of said lens and two guiding slots disposed on external sides of said channels;
- and
- a carriage module comprising a mirror set, two linear tracks corresponding to said channels and two bolt hole pedestals corresponding to said guiding slots, wherein said sensing module is glided on said carriage module when said linear tracks are embedded in corresponding channels.
A method for assembling a reading device comprising:
- adjusting the position of a lens relative to an image sensor, the lens and image sensor being mounted to a sensing module comprising two channels at bilateral sides of the lens and two guiding slots disposed on external sides of the channels;
- mounting the sensing module to a carriage module comprising a mirror set, two linear tracks corresponding to the channels, and two pedestals corresponding to the guiding slots, such that the linear tracks are embedded in the corresponding channels;
- adjusting the position of the sensing module relative to the carriage module;
- and
- fixing the sensing module relative to the carriage module.
A reading device of a scanning apparatus, comprising:
- a lens;
- an image sensor;
- a mirror set;
- a first module comprising two channels located on opposite sides of the lens and two guiding slots;
- and
- a second module comprising two linear tracks corresponding to the channels and two bolt hole pedestals corresponding to the guiding slots, wherein the first module is slidable relative to the second module when the linear tracks are embedded in corresponding channels;
- and
- wherein the image sensor and lens are mounted to one of the first and second modules and the mirror set is mounted to the other of the first and second modules.
A reading device of a scanning apparatus, comprising:
- a sensing module comprising a lens and an image sensor, wherein said sensing module further comprises two channels at bilateral sides of said lens and two guiding slots;
- and
- a carriage module comprising a mirror set, two linear tracks corresponding to said channels, wherein said sensing module is glided on said carriage module when said linear tracks are embedded in corresponding channels and wherein two fasteners extend through the two guiding slots and engage the carriage module.
