OPTICAL SCANNING DEVICE AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240337965 titled 'OPTICAL SCANNING DEVICE AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS
The abstract describes an optical scanning device with a deflector, lens, casing, and fixing member for positioning and fixing the lens in place.
- The device includes a deflector, lens, casing, and fixing member.
- The fixing member positions and fixes the lens in the casing.
- The fixing member has three portions: first, second, and third, each serving a specific purpose.
- The fixing member ensures the lens is securely held in place within the device.
Potential Applications: - Optical scanning systems - Laser engraving machines - Barcode scanners
Problems Solved: - Ensures precise alignment of the lens - Prevents movement or displacement during operation
Benefits: - Improved accuracy and efficiency in optical scanning - Enhanced durability and stability of the device
Commercial Applications: Title: "Advanced Optical Scanning Devices for Enhanced Precision" This technology can be used in industries such as manufacturing, healthcare, and logistics for high-precision scanning and imaging applications.
Questions about Optical Scanning Devices: 1. How does the fixing member contribute to the overall stability of the device? The fixing member ensures the lens remains securely fixed in place within the casing, preventing any movement or misalignment during operation.
2. What are the potential implications of using this technology in barcode scanning systems? Implementing this technology in barcode scanners can lead to increased scanning accuracy and efficiency, benefiting industries such as retail and logistics.
Original Abstract Submitted
an optical scanning device includes a deflector, a lens, a casing including a bottom surface on which the deflector and the lens are mounted and a side wall on which a light source is mounted; and a fixing member to position the lens to the casing and to fix an end portion of the lens in a longitudinal direction. in a state in which the lens is fixed to the casing, the fixing member includes a first portion including an engaged portion engaged with a projection projecting from the side wall and extending toward the bottom surface, a second portion including a first surface contacting an inner contacting surface of the casing and a second surface contacting an emergent surface of the lens and extending toward the bottom surface, and a third portion including a third surface contacting an upper surface of the lens and extending toward the bottom surface.
