  • Patent number: 10777695
    Abstract: A photoelectronic sensor or the like capable of improving operation stability is provided. The photoelectronic sensor includes a light projecting unit having a light projecting lens that converges light and a light projecting element that projects light toward a reflective plate via the light projecting lens, and a light receiving unit disposed alongside the light projecting unit and having a light receiving lens that concentrates reflected light from the reflective plate and a light receiving element that receives the reflected light via the light receiving lens. The light projecting element has a light emitting area located on a side closer to the light receiving element than an optical axis of the light projecting lens and emitting light, and a non-light emitting area located on a side farther from the light receiving element than the optical axis and not emitting light.
