    摘要: An optical scanning device includes a housing that houses an optical system for generating a light ray for optical scanning, and has a dustproof glass for emitting the light ray to an outside, and a cleaning system that is assembled to the housing and cleans the dustproof glass. The cleaning system includes a cleaning member, and a holder that holds the cleaning member, and with the holder moved in a specified movement direction relative to the dustproof glass, the cleaning member cleans the dustproof glass. The cleaning member includes a cleaner member that is adapted to contact a surface of the dustproof glass, and a pressing member that has a pressing surface for pressing the cleaner member toward the dustproof glass and is formed of an elastic body. In the movement direction, a width of the cleaner member is wider than a width of the pressing surface.

    摘要: An optical scanning device includes a light source, a scanning member, a converging lens, a first aperture, a second aperture, and a support member. The first aperture is provided between the converging lens and the scanning member and includes a first opening portion configured to restrict a beam path width in a main scanning direction of the laser beams emitted from the light source. The second aperture is provided between the light source and the converging lens and includes a second opening portion and a cylindrical portion. The second opening portion is configured to restrict a beam path width in a sub scanning direction of the laser beams emitted from the light source, and is formed in the cylindrical portion. The support member includes a cylinder supporting portion that pivotably supports the cylindrical portion of the second aperture.

    摘要: A scanning optical apparatus includes a light beam detection unit, a reference signal generation unit, and a returned light detection unit. The light beam detection unit decides whether the light beam reflected by the reflecting surface of a polygon mirror has entered the BD sensor, through comparison between an output value of the BD sensor and a predetermined first threshold. The reference signal generation unit generates a scan start reference signal in response to the decision that the light beam has entered the BD sensor. The returned light detection unit decides whether the light beam reflected by the reflecting surface has entered the internal light sensor, through comparison between an output value of the internal light sensor and a second threshold corresponding to light beam intensity higher than the intensity of the light beam reflected by the reflecting surface and corresponding to the first threshold.

    摘要: The calculation unit calculates the time interval between the time at detecting the light beam reflected by the reflective surface of the rotatory polyhedron incident on the BD sensor by the light beam detecting unit and the time at detecting the light beam reflected by the reflective surface incident on the optical sensor in the light source by the return light beam detecting unit. The scan adjusting unit adjusts the luminescence time of the light source for scanning the light beam on the surface to be scanned based on the time interval calculated by the calculation unit.

    摘要: An optical scanning device includes a light source which emits a light beam, a deflector, an incident optical system and one scanning lens. The deflector reflects and deflects/scans the light beam emitted from the light source. The scanning lens includes a first face facing the deflector and a second face on an opposite side to the first face, and performs imaging of the deflected/scanned light beam on a surface to be scanned. In a main scanning cross section, when an angle relative to an optical axis of an incident light beam which enters the scanning lens from the first face is θin, and an angle relative to an optical axis of an outgoing light beam which is output from the second face toward the surface to be scanned is θout, in an entire scanning region, a condition of 0.9

    摘要: An optical scanning device includes a first aperture and an adjustment mechanism. The first aperture includes a first opening portion and a first cut portion. The first opening portion restricts a beam path width of a laser beam emitted from a light source. A first blocking member that blocks the laser beam is inserted in a detachable manner in the first cut portion in a direction perpendicular to a longitudinal direction of the first opening portion, at a predetermined position of the first cut portion. The adjustment mechanism is configured to adjust a fixed state of the first aperture.
