Abstract

An optical path control device is provided, including a fixed reflective mirror fixed on a first position at a fixed angle for an incident light to be reflected thereon, and a rotatable reflective mirror driven by a driving device and rotated on a fixed axle. A surface of the rotatable reflective mirror is perpendicular to the fixed axle. The axle is disposed at a second position so that a rotating path of the rotatable reflective mirror passes through the incident light reflected on the fixed reflective mirror. A normal line of an incident point of the rotatable reflective mirror where the incident light enters, and a normal line of an incident point of the fixed reflective mirror where the incident light enters generates a predetermined included angle.

Claims (10)

1. An optical path control device, comprising:

a driving device, outputting a rotating power;

a fixed reflective mirror, fixed on a first position, wherein an incident light is reflected on the fixed reflective mirror;

a rotatable reflective mirror, which is flat, comprising a surface, wherein the rotatable reflective mirror is driven by the driving device and rotated on a fixed axle, the surface of the rotatable reflective mirror is perpendicular to the fixed axle, the fixed axle is disposed on a second position, a rotating path of the rotatable reflective mirror passes through the incident light reflected on the fixed reflective mirror, and a normal line of an incident point of the rotatable reflective mirror where the incident light enters, and a normal line of an incident point of the fixed reflective mirror where the incident light enters generates a predetermined included angle.

2. The optical path control device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the driving device is a motor.

3. The optical path control device as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the motor comprises an output axle, the rotatable reflective mirror is connected to the output axle and driven by the output axle, and the surface of the rotatable reflective mirror is perpendicular to the output axle.

4. The optical path control device as claimed in claim 3 , further comprising a sleeve disposed on the output axle and rotated with the output axle, wherein the rotatable reflective mirror is fixed on the sleeve and connected to the output axle.

5. The optical path control device as claimed in claim 3 , further comprising a holder fixed on a shell of the motor, wherein the fixed reflective mirror is disposed on the holder and located on one side of the output axle of the motor.

6. The optical path control device as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the holder comprises a through hole for the output axle of the motor to pass therethrough, and the surface of the fixed reflective mirror is inclined at a predetermined angle to the output axle, and a part of the sleeve passes through the through hole of the holder.

7. The optical path control device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the fixed reflective mirror is a flat mirror.
