PURPOSE:To eliminate the need for adjusting operation by providing a photodetecting element for monitoring for the detection of the quantity of light emission and a light emitting element adjacently and allowing the photodetecting element to photodetect only light reflected by a rotary slit disk. CONSTITUTION:The photodetecting element 8 for monitoring is arranged closely to the internal rotating shaft 2 of the light emitting element 4 to photodetect suitably only reflected light from the disk 1, and an optical path 7B is formed in a housing 7A suitably for the photodetection of only the reflected light. When the disk 1 makes one turn, light from the light emitting element 4 is photodetected a photodetecting element group 5 through slits 1A and 1B and slits 3A, 3B, and 3C of the fixed slit plate 3. At the same time, light reflected by the reverse surface of the disk 1 as to light from the light emitting element 4 is photodetected by the photodetecting element 8 for monitoring to detect its intensity.

Here, l is a rotating slit disk attached to a rotating shaft 2, and the disk 1 has one slint (IA) and a number of slins) IB along its periphery as shown in FIG. Fixed slits 3A, 3B, and 3C are formed in the fixed slit plate 3, which is perforated and arranged at a position facing the peripheral part, at positions overlapping with the slit (IA) and a large number of slits (IB). (See Figure 3). As is well known, IA is used to detect the home position of one revolution, and IB is used to detect the position of, for example, a printed character.

As the slits rotate, the light from the light emitting element 4 is transmitted to the fixed slits 3A and 3B, and at each position where the slit IA overlaps the slit 3C, the light from the light emitting element 4 is transmitted to the fixed slits IB and IA, 3A, 3B and 3C. Since the light passes through and is received by the light receiving element 5, the change in the amount of light received is converted into an electrical signal and output, and control is performed according to the output signal.

However, in such conventional rotary encoders, in order to form the slits IA in the rotary slit disk 1, a manufacturing method is generally adopted in which a metal film is deposited on one side of the glass plate, leaving a slit portion. In order to increase the accuracy of coaxiality between the slit pattern and the outer periphery of the disk 1, the cost will increase, so it is customary to allow a certain degree of center fluctuation in the outer periphery.

It is conceivable to receive the light reflected from the back surface of the rotating slit disk 1, thereby eliminating the influence caused by the oscillation of the outer circumferential portion of the rotating slit disk 1.

However, if the arrangement is simply as described above, variations in the mounting position and direction of the monitor light-receiving element with respect to the light-emitting element 4 will adversely affect the amount of light received by the monitor light-receiving element that receives reflected light, and the light emission will be affected. This complicates the adjustments made to compensate for changes in output.
This results in an increase in the amount of work.

[Scope of Claims] A first light receiving element capable of detecting an optical signal from a light emitting element via a rotating slit disk, and a second light receiving element for compensating for changes in the output of the light emitting element. In the rotary encoder, the light-emitting element and the second light-receiving element are arranged in the same container on the same side of the slit disk, and the second light-receiving element is placed at a position where the axis of the slit disk is offset from the light-emitting element. A rotary encoder, characterized in that the rotary encoder is arranged at a position such that the light reflected by the slit disk out of the light from the light emitting element is received by the second light receiving element.
