  • Publication number: 20090135288
    Abstract: An optical scanning module with linear CMOS image sensor (linear CMOSM) applied to scanners or multi-function printers is disclosed. The optical scanning module includes a light source for emitting light, a reflection mirror group, a focus lens group, and a linear CMOS image sensor having at least one linear CMOS image sensor unit and one A/D analog-digital converter. The light source can be a cold cathode fluorescent lamp (CCFL), a Xenon lamp or linear LED. Light emitted from the light source projects onto an object being scanned. Then the light reflected by the object being scanned becomes scanning light, passing through the reflection mirror group and the focus lens group and being focused on the linear CMOS image sensor for being converted into electrical signal. By A/D conversion of the linear CMOS image sensor unit in the linear CMOS image sensor, signal is sent out in USB or LVDS format so as to achieve high scanning speed, low distortion, large depth of focus and convenient transmission.

  • Patent number: 7499231
    Abstract: An auto-focus lens module that uses electromagnetic force as well as spring force as driving force to drive the lens for auto-focusing is formed by a rectangular base, two copper plates, an insulation spacer, four magnets, a lens holder, a lens, a coiled spring, a coil, and a rectangular top cover. The lens holder, the lens and the coil form a lens set that moves synchronously. The coiled spring is between the coil and the lens and is elastically supporting between a circular slot of the lens holder and the top cover while the four magnets are respectively located outside the coil symmetrically and equidistantly, on four corners of the rectangular base so that the structure and volume of the lens module are simplified and minimized. Moreover, the distance between the coil and the magnets is shortened so that the electromagnetic force therebetween is increased. Furthermore, the diameter of the coiled spring is reduced for improving stability of the spring force.
