Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of scanners, in particular to a large area scanner. Background Art

[0002] A scanner is a device that uses photoelectric technology and digital processing technology to convert graphic or image information into digital signals by scanning. It is usually used as an external instrument for computers. It captures images and converts them into digital input devices that can be displayed, edited, stored and output by computers. Taking a flat scanner as an example, the camera is installed at a high place through a cantilever to identify the graphics below. In order to improve the brightness of the workpiece to be identified and thus improve the accuracy of identification, the scanner will set a fill light, but the single fill light method from top to bottom is easy to interfere with the camera and interfere with the scanning imaging effect. If the workpiece to be identified occupies a large area, the edge area of ​​the workpiece to be identified is dark, which is not conducive to graphic analysis.

[0003] Our company is engaged in the production of data cables. In order to improve the detection efficiency of data cables, about 50 data cables are installed in a fixture, and the data cables are temporarily fixed through the fixture's own card slots. Then the fixture is moved as a whole to the bottom of the scanner, and the size and consistency of the data cables are determined through graphic analysis. At the same time, it is necessary to ensure that the scanning cycle of each batch of workpieces is within 30s. The existing scanners are difficult to meet production requirements.
