Field of the Invention This invention relates to an optical encoder device, and more particularly to a reflective optical encoder device having high resolution. [Prior Art] At present, the application trend of optical encoders is moving toward high resolution. Please refer to FIG. 1 , which is a cross-sectional view of a conventional reflective optical encoder. The reflective optical encoder 100 includes a base 1 , a light emitter 106 , an optical receiver 108 , and an optical unit 112 . And an object 12 〇. The light emitter 106 is disposed above the susceptor 1 〇 2 for emitting a light source signal. The light receiver 108 is disposed above the susceptor 1 〇 2 and juxtaposed with the light emitters 1 〇 6 . The optical unit 112 includes a first lens U2a corresponding to the light emitters 1〇6 and a second lens H2b corresponding to the light receiver 108. The object 120 is disposed above the optical unit in, which may be a reflective optical scale or an optical disk. When a conventional reflective optical encoder is used, the light reflected by the object passes through the lens and cannot be concentrated on the optical receiver, thereby affecting the resolution of the optical encoder. In order to meet the high resolution requirements of optical encoders, it is necessary to propose an improved reflective optical encoder. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION One aspect of the present invention is to provide a reflective optical encoder that can produce a product that is small in size but still maintains high resolution. 201118350 The present invention provides a reflective optical encoder adapted to detect an object. The reflective optical encoder comprises a bracket, an optical unit, a light emitter, a light receiver and a shielding body. The optical unit has a first lens and a second lens. The light emitter is disposed on the bracket and is adapted to emit a light. The light emitter is located between the bracket and the first lens, and the light emitted by the light emitter is adapted to penetrate. The first lens is reflected by the object. The light receiver is disposed on the bracket, and the light receiver is located between the bracket and the second lens. The shielding body is disposed between the light receiver and the second lens, and the shielding body exposes the optical connection Φ receiver in a light transmission area, so that the light receiver is adapted to receive the light reflected from the object and traversing the second lens, and shield The body blocks light from the emitter that is emitted and directly refracted or reflected by the optical unit. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the reflective optical encoder further comprises a transparent resin, the transparent resin-based coated holder, the optical unit, the optical reflector, and the optical receiver. According to an embodiment of the invention, the first lens and the second lens of the optical unit described above comprise a concave lens. • In accordance with an embodiment of the invention, the optical receiver comprises a light sensing wafer array comprised of a plurality of arrays of light sensing wafers. According to an embodiment of the invention, the light penetrating region comprises a plurality of openings, and each of the light sensing wafers of the light sensing wafer array is disposed corresponding to each opening. According to an embodiment of the invention, the light emitter comprises a light emitting diode. In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, a housing is further included that covers the transparent resin and the optical unit. [2011] [Embodiment] Please refer to FIG. 2A, which is a cross-sectional view of a reflective optical encoder according to an embodiment of the present invention. According to a specific embodiment of the present invention, the reflective optical encoder 200 includes a base 202, a bracket 204, a light emitter 206, a light receiver 208, and an optical unit 212. In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, the base 202 is used to support various components of the reflective optical encoder 200. The base 2〇2 may be made of plastic, metal, or other suitable material. According to one embodiment of the present invention, the material of the base 202 can be, for example, polyethylene (?〇17乂丨町1冰1〇14(16; PVC). Please refer to FIG. 2B, according to one of the present inventions For example, a circuit (not shown) can be provided in the pedestal 2 〇 2 to receive or transmit an external signal through the pin 23 (). The cradle 204 is disposed on the pedestal 202 and includes a shielding body. The support section 204a, an upper support section 204b, a connecting section 204c, a shielding section 204d and a light penetrating zone 205. The connecting section 2〇4c connects the lower supporting section 204a with the upper supporting section 2〇4b, and the lower supporting section 204a Located at the bottom of the base. • A light emitter 2〇6 is mounted on the lower support section 204a of the bracket 204, and is coupled to the circuit in the base 2〇2 via the electrodes on the bracket 204 for receiving The external signal transmitted through the circuit generates a light. In an example, the light emitter 2〇6 is a light emitting diode. The lower support section of the bracket 2〇4 on the side of the light emitter 206 A light receiver 208 is also provided on the second 4a, which can also be connected to the circuit in the base 202 via the electrodes on the bracket 204. The upper support section 204b of the bracket 204 has a light-transmitting area 2〇5 located directly above the light receiver 208. Above the bracket 204 is provided an optical unit 212 having a plurality of lenses. 201118350 corresponds to light emitter 206 and light receiver 208, respectively. In one example, 'optical unit 212 includes first lens 212a and second lens 212b. In one example, first emitter 212a is disposed directly above light emitter 206. It is used to diverge the light generated by the light emitter 212a. A second lens 212b is disposed on the side of the first lens 212a, directly above the light penetrating region 205 and the light receiver 208. In this embodiment, The light emitted by the light emitter 212a is reflected by the object 220 after passing through the first lens 212a, and the shielding system of the reflective optical encoder of the present invention exposes the light receiver 208' by the light penetrating region 205. The receiver 208 can receive the light reflected from the object 220 and passing through the second lens 212b, and the shielding block blocks the light emitted from the light emitter 212a but refracted or reflected by the optical unit 212. The first lens 212a and the second lens 212b of the present invention may be substantially identical lenses. In an example, the first lens 212a and the second lens 212b comprise concave lenses. In another example of the present invention, the light penetrating region 205 is, for example, a barrier type having a plurality of openings 205a corresponding to the light sensing wafer of the light receiver 208. Since the present invention adds a grating light transmission region to the lens and light receiving Between the devices, the barrier-type light penetrating region can function as a slit to cause a diffraction phenomenon of the reflected parallel light. When the reflected light collected by the second lens passes through the light-transmitting region, 'accurate dark regions and bright regions can be generated according to the difference in optical path difference', so that limited light can be collected in several regions to collect light. The effect is that the use of the thumb-panel light penetration zone further enhances the linear resolution of the light receiver. Therefore, when the lens size is reduced, the light receiver still obtains sufficient effective light by the grating-type light-transmitting region, and measures the resolution with the slab. In addition, the bracket 204 of the embodiment has a plurality of electrodes (not shown) electrically connected to the circuits in the base 202. The bracket 204 may be made of plastic, metal, or other suitable material. According to an embodiment of the invention, the bracket 204 is made of aluminum. In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, the bracket 204 can be assembled with the light emitter 206 and the light receiver 208 prior to being mounted in the base 202.
