Title:
フォトインタラプタ位置調節機構
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP4235425
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
A rotary encoder has a disc, a pair of photo-interrupters, an adjusting member, and a shifting controller. The disc rotates around a rotating axis and has slits that are formed circumferentially at given intervals. Each of the photo-interrupters has a light-emitting device and a photo-detecting device opposite one another, and generates two signals with a phase difference. Each photo-interrupter is pivotable around a pivot coaxial with the rotating axis, and is arranged along the circumferential direction of the disc so as to position the slits between the light-emitting device and the photo-detector. The adjusting member contacts the pair of photo-interrupters, and is movable along a shifting direction corresponding to a radial direction of the disc, so as to engage the pair of photo-interrupters. The adjusting member adjusts a relative position-relationship between the pair of photo-interrupters associated with the phase difference. The shifting controller shifts the adjusting member along the shifting direction to set the phase difference to a predetermined phase difference.
