TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application relates to a simple code scanning base. BACKGROUND
[0002] Nowadays, with the rapid development of mobile payment, barcode scanning payment and code scanning identification are more and more common, and almost all stores support code scanning payment. Code scanning POS usually includes a desktop code scanning POS and a handheld code scanning POS. The handheld POS machine usually has front code scanning, front code scanning + rear code scanning and rear code scanning. When the handheld POS machine acts as a desktop code scanning POS, if the device has front code scanning or front + rear code scanning, it can also be used as a part of the desktop code scanning POS. However, since the camera direction is not directed at the customer, there is a certain inconvenience. If a desktop code scanning POS or a code scanning box is additionally configured, the cost is increased, and a position is additionally occupied on a narrow area of the cash desk.
[0003] The application is a scheme for converting the original rear code scanning head of the POS machine into a code scanning window facing the customer end without affecting and without modifying the original POS. When the original handheld POS is placed on the base of the application, it becomes a desktop code scanning POS, which is convenient for customers to self-service code scanning payment. SUMMARY
[0004] To solve the above problems, the application provides a simple code scanning base.
[0005] To achieve the above technical purposes, the application adopts the following technical scheme:
[0006] A simple code scanning base comprises a base, and code scanning windows and camera windows are arranged on the left and right sides of the top of the base. The camera window is rotationally connected to the base, and a camera window gear is fixedly installed on the camera window. A first reflector and a second reflector are arranged in the base. The first reflector is arranged below the camera window and rotationally connected to the base. A first reflector gear is fixedly installed on the first reflector. The camera window gear and the first reflector gear are linked through a first linkage gear set. The second reflector is arranged below the code scanning window and rotationally connected to the base. A second reflector gear is fixedly installed on the second reflector. The second reflector gear and the first reflector gear are linked through a second linkage gear set.
[0007] Further, the front and rear ends of the camera window, the first reflector and the second reflector are provided with shafts, and the camera window, the first reflector and the second reflector are rotationally connected to the base through the shafts.
[0008] Further, the camera window shaft is coaxially fixedly installed with a camera window gear; the first mirror shaft is coaxially fixedly installed with a first mirror gear; and the second mirror shaft is coaxially fixedly installed with a second mirror gear.
[0009] Further, the first linkage gear set is composed of an odd number of gears, and the second linkage gear set is composed of an even number of gears.
[0010] Further, the first linkage gear set is rotatably connected to the base, and the two ends of the first linkage gear set are respectively engaged with the camera window gear and the first mirror gear.
[0011] Further, the second linkage gear set is rotatably connected to the base, and the two ends of the second linkage gear set are respectively engaged with the second mirror gear and the first mirror gear.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the technical scheme has the beneficial effects that:

Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present application provided in the drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed present application, but only represents selected embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0024] Referring to the drawings shown, Figure 1 The simple code scanning base comprises a base 1, a code scanning window 11 and a camera window 12 are arranged on the left and right sides of the top of the base 1 respectively, a rotating shaft is arranged at the front and rear ends of the camera window 12, the camera window 12 is rotationally connected to the base 1 through the rotating shaft, a camera window gear 4 is coaxially and fixedly installed on the rotating shaft of the camera window 12, a first mirror 2 and a second mirror 3 are further arranged inside the base 1, the first mirror 2 is arranged below the camera window 12, a rotating shaft is arranged at the front and rear ends of the first mirror 2, the first mirror 2 is rotationally connected to the base 1 through the rotating shaft, a first mirror gear 6 is coaxially and fixedly installed on the rotating shaft of the first mirror 2, the camera window gear 4 and the first mirror gear 6 are linked through a first linkage gear set 5, wherein the first linkage gear set 5 is composed of an odd number of gears, the first linkage gear set 5 is composed of one gear in this embodiment, the first linkage gear set 5 is rotationally connected to the base 1, and the two ends of the first linkage gear set 5 are engaged with the camera window gear 4 and the first mirror gear 6 respectively.
[0025] The second mirror 3 is arranged below the code scanning window 11, and the second mirror 3 is rotatably connected to the base 1 through rotation shafts arranged at the front and back ends of the second mirror 3. The rotation shaft of the second mirror 3 is coaxially and fixedly provided with a second mirror gear 7. The second mirror gear 7 is connected to the first mirror gear 6 through a first linkage gear set 8. The second linkage gear set 8 is composed of an even number of gears. In the embodiment, the second linkage gear set 8 is composed of four gears. The second linkage gear set 8 is rotatably connected to the base 1. Adjacent gears are meshed with each other. The gears at the two ends of the second linkage gear set 8 are meshed with the second mirror gear 7 and the first mirror gear 6 respectively.
[0026] The camera window gear 4, the first linkage gear set 5, the first mirror gear 6, the second mirror gear 7 and the second linkage gear set 8 can be arranged on the front side or the rear side of the camera window 12, or arranged on both the front side and the rear side of the camera window 12.
[0027] When the camera window 12 is flipped, the first mirror 2 and the second mirror 3 can be adjusted in angle through the gears in the base 1, so as to adjust the light path. When the POS machine camera 91 at different angles is installed on the code scanning base, the image at the code scanning window 11 can be acquired. The code scanning base can be applied to the rear camera 91 at different angles on the POS machine 9, so as to improve the versatility of the code scanning base.
[0028] In use, the POS machine 9 is placed on the base 1. The camera 91 of the POS machine 9 is aligned with the groove in the camera window 12. Under the gravity of the POS machine 9, the camera window 12 is flipped and adjusted according to the angle of the camera 91, so that the camera 91 is attached to the camera window 12. When the camera window 12 is flipped, the first mirror 2 and the second mirror 3 can be adjusted in angle through the camera window gear 4, the first linkage gear set 5, the first mirror gear 6, the second linkage gear set 8 and the second mirror gear 7, so that the image at the code scanning window 11 can be acquired by the camera 91 through the reflection of the first mirror 2 and the second mirror 3. The design of linkage between the camera window and the mirror can adapt to the angle change of the rear camera. Since the camera window angle of different products may be different, the camera window is rotatably connected to the base through the rotation shaft, so that the angle can be changed. The two mirrors are linked through the gears, so as to consider the rear camera at different angles. At the same time, the code scanning window has a large area, which can ensure that the camera can shoot a large area outside the code scanning window.
[0029] The base provided by the application adopts a double-reflector scheme, compared with a single reflector, the advantage of two reflectors is that the height of the base can be greatly reduced, at least one third of the height of the base is reduced, the vertical height of the code scanning base is converted into a horizontal length, the height occupation is reduced, and the overall base is small due to the design of the double reflector which is similar to the design of a periscope. Meanwhile, the design of the camera window and the reflector linkage can adapt to the angle change of the rear camera of the POS machine to a certain extent, so that the base has universality. If a merchant has multiple POS machines, one code scanning base can be shared, and the POS machine can be directly replaced, without replacing the base, and the desktop occupation is reduced.
[0030] The code scanning base provided by the application can convert a previous handheld POS into a desktop POS, and the rear code scanning head previously needing to be operated by hand can become a code scanner of the desktop POS, so that customers can self-service code scanning payment, and the device can be held to be used for code scanning when needed.
[0031] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the application and is not used to limit the application, and the application can have various modifications and changes for those skilled in the art. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the application shall be included in the protection scope of the application.
