Abstract: The photoelectric smoke sensor includes a casing member 1 having an internal space S formed by a labyrinth wall 1b and an opening 6 communicating with the internal space S on a setting-face side; and a printed board 8 placed on the setting-face side of the casing member 1 and having a hole 8a opposed to the opening 6 of the casing member 1. The light emitting element 2 and the light receiving element 4 are mounted on the printed board 8 in such a fashion that the optical axes of the light emitting element 2 and the light receiving element 4 cross each other on one plane that is substantially parallel to an opening plane of the opening 6. The photoelectric smoke sensor can be reduced in both size and cost with a simple construction.

Abstract: In a photoelectric smoke sensor, a casing has a bottom cover section in which a plurality of holes are formed. The bottom cover section having the holes has a function of allowing smoke to flow into and out of a smoke detecting section and preventing insects from entering the smoke detecting section from outside of the smoke detecting section. Thus, smoke is smoothly introduced from the lower side of the smoke detecting section into the smoke detecting section and there is no necessity of installing a large insect screen at the entrance of smoke flowing from the outside.

Abstract: In one embodiment, an optical reflective information reading sensor has a single casing that accommodates a light-emitting element portion for emitting light for reading information, an emission-side lens portion for irradiating a target information face of a target with irradiation light, which is the light emitted by the light-emitting element portion, the target being disposed outside the optical reflective information reading sensor, a reception-side lens portion for forming an image of diffusely reflected light, which is reflected light of the light irradiated on the target information face, and a light-receiving element portion for receiving the diffusely reflected light whose image has been formed. The optical reflective information reading sensor detects a target information pattern, which is target information such as a barcode on the target information face.

Abstract: An optical distance measuring sensor has a plurality of light-emitting elements, a light-emitting lens, a photodetector having a light-receiving surface, a light emission driving part to sequentially drive the light-emitting elements, and a distance signal outputting part. Light emitted from each light-emitting element passes through the light-emitting lens, then is reflected by an object to be detected, and then gets incident on the light-receiving surface of the photodetector, which outputs a signal corresponding to a position of the incident light in the light-receiving surface. Upon receipt of the signal, the distance signal outputting part outputs a distance signal representing a distance to the object.
