Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of scanner technology, and more specifically, to a multi-functional scanner. Background Technology

[0002] In modern commerce, logistics, warehousing, and many other fields, scanners are widely used as an important data acquisition device. Traditional scanners have relatively limited functionality, typically offering only one fixed scanning mode, such as continuous scanning or button-triggered scanning. In continuous scanning mode, the scanner performs scanning operations continuously, suitable for batch and rapid scanning scenarios. Button-triggered scanning mode requires the user to manually press a button to start scanning, but it is less efficient when rapidly and continuously scanning a large number of barcodes. Therefore, we have made improvements to this by proposing a multi-functional scanner. Utility Model Content

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0016] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features and technical solutions in the present invention can be combined with each other.

[0017] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.

[0018] Example 1, please refer to Figures 1-22 A multi-functional scanner includes a scanner body 1 and a base structure 2. The scanner body 1 has a control motherboard 102 and a scanning terminal 107. A status detection component is disposed between the scanner body 1 and the base structure 2. The status detection component is electrically connected to the control motherboard 102 and is used to detect the relative placement status of the scanner body 1 and the base structure 2 and output a corresponding level signal. The control motherboard 102 is electrically connected to the scanning terminal 107 and is used to send a scanning mode switching command to the scanning terminal 107 according to the level signal output by the status detection component, so as to realize the switching between continuous mode and button mode, thereby improving the convenience and efficiency of scanning operation.

[0019] Furthermore, the status detection component is used to output a first level when it detects that the scanner body 1 is placed on the base structure 2. After receiving the first level, the control motherboard 102 sends a command to the scanning terminal 107 to switch to continuous mode. In continuous mode, as long as there is a barcode corresponding to the scanning terminal 107, the scanning terminal 107 can perform scanning operation. The status detection component outputs a second level when it detects that the scanner body 1 has left the base structure 2. After receiving the second level, the control motherboard 102 sends a command to the scanner dock 107 to switch to button mode. In button mode, the user needs to manually operate the scanner body 1 to enable the scanner dock 107 to scan the barcode.

[0020] Furthermore, the scanner body 1 includes a housing 101, a control motherboard 102 installed inside the housing 101, and a scanning terminal 107 integrated on the control motherboard 102. A battery 104 connected to the control motherboard 102 is installed inside the housing 101. An operation button 103 connected to the control motherboard 102 is also provided on the housing 101. The operation button 103 is used for manual operation by the user. A lens assembly 108 is provided at the front end of the housing 101, and the position of the lens assembly 108 corresponds to the position of the scanning terminal 107. In continuous mode, the scanning terminal 107 continuously emits a scanning beam without the need for manual operation of the operation button 103. In button mode, scanning is started only when the operation button 103 is pressed.

[0021] The control motherboard 102 is equipped with multiple power indicator lights, and each of the multiple power indicator lights is connected to a light guide column 106. The housing 101 is equipped with a transparent window corresponding to the light guide column 106. The housing 101 is equipped with an internal buzzer and a vibration motor, both of which are electrically connected to the control motherboard 102. The buzzer and vibration motor are used to remind the user that the scan was successful. The control motherboard 102 also integrates a Bluetooth module and a 2.4G module, which are used to achieve wireless signal connection; The control motherboard 102 is also connected to a clock chip, which is an integrated circuit typically used to display and record time data, such as year, month, day, week, hour, minute, and second. The control motherboard 102 also has a boost circuit and a voltage detection circuit.

The base body 201 is provided with a first positioning groove 214 and a second positioning groove 202. The second positioning groove 202 is for the tail end of the housing 101 to be inserted. The status detection component includes: a first contact disposed in the second positioning groove 202; a second contact 4 disposed at the tail end of the housing 101 and connected to the control motherboard 102; the second contact 4 is connected to the first contact when the scanner body 1 is placed on the base structure 2; a charging module is integrated in the base body 201; the first contact is electrically connected to the charging module; when the second contact 4 contacts the first contact, the charging module supplies power to the battery 104 through the control motherboard 102. Specifically, when the scanner body 1 is placed on the base structure 2, the first contact and the second contact 4 make contact, causing the control motherboard 102 to obtain the first level; when the scanner body 1 leaves the base structure 2, the first contact and the second contact 4 separate, and the control motherboard 102 obtains the second level.

[0023] Furthermore, positioning protrusions 203 are fixedly connected to both sides of the base body 201, and first support seats 205 are provided on both sides of the base body 201. A base plate 204 located below the base body 201 is provided between the two first support seats 205. Several slots 210 are provided on each of the two first support seats 205, and the positioning protrusions 203 are inserted into one of the slots 210. The base body 201 can be supported by the first support seats 205 and the base plate 204. After the positioning protrusions 203 are inserted into the slots 210, the base body 201 has the following characteristics: Figure 2 The horizontal placement shown and Figure 1 The tilted placement shown is in Figure 1 In this state, the barcode can be placed on the scanner body 1 for scanning using the scanning terminal 107. Figure 2 In this state, the user can hold the base structure 2 and the scanner body 1 to move and scan the entire device.

The insert plate 208 is provided with a through hole, and a buckle 209 that engages with the limiting groove 207 is installed in the through hole. By pushing the buckle 209 upward to separate the buckle 209 from the limiting groove 207, the first support base 205 can be removed to adjust the insertion position of the positioning protrusion 203. The number of slots 210 is at least two, and one end of several slots 210 is connected to each other.

[0025] Example 3 further optimizes the multi-functional scanner provided in Example 1, specifically, as follows: Figure 6As shown, the base structure 2 is a support frame, which includes a bracket 213 for supporting the scanner body 1. The status detection component includes a magnet 3 disposed in the bracket 213 and a Hall switch 5 disposed on the control motherboard 102. The output pin of the Hall switch 5 is electrically connected to the pin of the control motherboard 102. When the Hall switch 5 senses the magnet 3, it outputs a first level. When the Hall switch 5 is separated from the magnet 3, it outputs a second level.

[0026] Furthermore, the bottom of the bracket 213 is connected to a gooseneck tube 211, and the bottom end of the gooseneck tube 211 is connected to a second support 212. Through the bending characteristics of the gooseneck tube 211, the angle and position of the bracket 213 and the scanner body 1 can be flexibly adjusted.
