Image reading apparatus and image forming apparatus provided therewith
This image reading apparatus, includes: a first retaining member that retains a lens unit; a second retaining member that retains a sensor unit; and a positioning member that sets a relative position between the first retaining member and the second retaining member, wherein the positioning member comprises: a first concave portion that is sagged from a first contact surface to be in contact with the first retaining member; and a second concave portion that is sagged from a second contact surface to be in contact with the second retaining member, and the positioning member is fixed to the first retaining member and the second retaining member by an adhesive filled in the first concave portion and the second concave portion.
1. An image reading apparatus, comprising:
a first retaining member that retains a lens unit;
a second retaining member that retains a sensor unit; and
a positioning member that sets a relative position between the first retaining member and the second retaining member, wherein
the positioning member comprises: a first concave portion that is sagged from a first contact surface to be in contact with the first retaining member; and a second concave portion that is sagged from a second contact surface to be in contact with the second retaining member, and
the positioning member is fixed to the first retaining member and the second retaining member by an adhesive filled in the first concave portion and the second concave portion.
2. The image reading apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein
a through-hole that penetrates in a thickness direction of the positioning member is formed in the first concave portion, and
a flow passage, one end of which is exposed from an end of the second contact surface, is formed in the second concave portion.
3. The image reading apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein
a through-hole is formed in a thickness direction of the positioning member, and
an inner diameter of the through-hole is larger from the first contact surface side toward a surface opposite to the first contact surface.
4. The image reading apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising
a biasing member that biases the first contact surface to the first retaining member, and biases the second contact surface to the second retaining member.
5. The image reading apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein
the first contact surface and the second contact surface are provided with an angle therebetween, and
the biasing member is attached obliquely to both of the first contact surface and the second contact surface.
6. The image reading apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein
the positioning member is formed of a material that transmits ultraviolet light.
7. The image reading apparatus according to claim 1 , comprising a plurality of the positioning members, wherein
the positioning members are arranged symmetrically with respect to an optical axis of the image forming lens.
8. An image forming apparatus that forms an image on a recoding medium based on an image data read out by an image reading apparatus, wherein
the image reading apparatus is the image reading apparatus according to claim 1 .
