IMAGE READING DEVICE AND IMAGE FORMING DEVICE

摘要

An image reading device of the present invention includes a reading unit in which a lighting system and an optical system are mounted, a controller provided at a position where the controller does not transfer along with the reading unit, and a flexible flat cable that includes a curved portion and connects the reading unit with the controller. The lighting system includes an elongated light conductor extended in the main scanning direction and an end portion light source arranged at the end portion of the light conductor. The flexible flat cable is arranged on the outside of the optical system and on the lower side of the light conductor.

主权项

1. An image reading device configured to read an image of a document on platen glass and acquire an image signal, comprising:
a reading unit in which a lighting system for lighting the document and an optical system for forming an image with respect to reflective light of the document lighted by the lighting system are mounted, the reading unit configured to irradiate light to the document and receive the reflective light on the document, thereby reading the image of the document, while transferring in a sub-scanning direction; a controller configured to be provided at a position where the controller does not transfer along with the reading unit; and a flexible flat cable configured to include a curved portion whose part is curved in a U shape and configured to connect the reading unit with the controller, wherein the lighting system is configured to include an elongated light conductor extended in a main scanning direction and an end portion light source arranged at an end portion of the light conductor, and wherein the flexible flat cable is arranged on an outside of the optical system and on a lower side of the light conductor.
