Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of scanning technology, and further to an electronic device with a scanning function. Background Art

[0002] At present, the usage scenarios of some scanning pens or devices with scanning functions are very simple. They can only be used to scan content on paper. There are great limitations on the usage scenarios and no way to meet the diverse needs of users. In addition, some scanning devices are configured with an integrated structure of a scanning part and a display part, which makes the display part as narrow and long as the scanning part, and the content that can be displayed is very small, which brings inconvenience to users when performing operations such as turning pages and uploading, and the user experience is not good.

[0003] In summary, it is necessary to improve the problems existing in the prior art. Summary of the invention

[0004] In response to the above technical problems, the purpose of the present invention is to provide an electronic device with a scanning function, which can be applicable to a variety of usage scenarios, so that the user experience is very good, and when the user uses this electronic device, the display of the scanned content and the related operation experience will be very good, and the flexibility and practicality are greatly improved.

[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides an electronic device with a scanning function, comprising: a device host, a scanning unit, the device host is provided with a display panel and a receiving slot, the receiving slot is located on the side of the device host away from the display panel; the scanning unit can be movably arranged in the receiving slot, and is electrically connected to the device host through a connecting module for transmitting scanning content, and the scanning unit can be operated to be in a first state or a second state; when in the first state, the scanning unit is stored in the receiving slot, and when in the second state, the scanning unit at least partially extends out of the receiving slot, so that it is suitable for scanning, and the scanning unit also includes a battery, and the battery is used to power the electronic device.

[0006] It should be noted that the battery here is arranged on the scanning part. Since when the electronic device is used for scanning, in most cases the scanning part is facing the desktop or paper, the overall center of gravity of the electronic device is lower, which makes the user more stable during operation and avoids the rollover of the electronic device due to unstable center of gravity, so that the user's experience and the practicality of the device are very good.

[0007] In some embodiments, the scanning unit includes a scanning body and a camera, and the accommodating groove penetrates the length direction of the device host to one side so that the accommodating groove forms an opening, the width of the opening matches the width of the scanning body, and the camera is arranged at one end of the scanning body close to the opening.

[0008] The scanning body can change its relative position with the device host through the opening, and the width of the opening matches the width of the scanning body, thereby avoiding the formation of a gap between the two, which would cause dust or water stains to enter through the gap and affect the normal operation of the electronic device.

[0009] In some embodiments, when in the second state, the scanning body is suitable for holding and scanning;

[0010] The end of the scanning body close to the camera is configured as an inclined surface, and the inclined surface forms a preset angle with the length direction of the scanning body to match the holding angle of the user when holding the electronic device.

[0011] The setting of the inclined surface can make users more comfortable when scanning with a handheld electronic device, because the plane of the camera is basically parallel to the paper or desktop. During the scanning process, the user's hand can be naturally tilted and does not need to be perpendicular to the desktop all the time, causing hand fatigue. In addition, it can make the user naturally move in the tilted direction of the electronic device, making the scanning process very natural and easy to use.

[0012] In some embodiments, the inclined surface is confined between the two side walls of the scanning body, so that the two side walls of the scanning body and the top wall close to the device main body form a partial surrounding area relative to the inclined surface, so that the end of the partial surrounding area is against the surface to be scanned in the second state.

[0013] It should be noted that the partial surrounding area realizes three-sided surrounding of the inclined surface, which can play a certain light-shielding effect, and because this area is against the surface to be scanned when the user holds it, it can also prevent the inclined surface from directly rubbing against the surface to be scanned.

[0014] In some embodiments, the scanning body is also provided with a protective transparent sheet, and a fixing hole corresponding to the protective transparent sheet is opened at the end of the scanning body close to the camera, so that the protective transparent sheet is fixed in the fixing hole, and the camera is located inside the scanning body. In the second state, the camera scans through the fixing hole and the protective transparent sheet.

[0015] The protective transparent sheet can prevent dust or impurities from directly sticking to the lens of the camera, thereby reducing the clarity of scanning or shooting. It can also protect the camera when the scanning subject is bumped. In addition, the replacement, maintenance and production costs of the protective transparent sheet will be lower, resulting in excellent economic benefits.

[0016] In some embodiments, the display panel is configured as a touch screen, and the coverage of the touch screen relative to the device host ranges from 80% to 100%.

[0017] Among them, the display panel has a touch function and is also configured as a large-screen display, which makes it very convenient for users to operate when using the electronic device for scanning. After scanning, the scanned content can be viewed on the large screen, avoiding the embarrassing situation that the scanned content can only be transferred to a computer after traditional scanning, or only a small screen is used to flip through pages, thereby improving the convenience of using the device.

[0018] In some embodiments, the scanning unit is slidably connected to the device host via a guide rail mechanism, and the guide rail mechanism is respectively disposed on the receiving slot and the scanning unit, so that the scanning unit can be displaced in the extension direction of the guide rail mechanism.

[0019] The guide rail mechanism can realize the sliding connection of the scanning unit relative to the device host, making it more convenient for users to operate the scanning unit.

[0020] In some embodiments, the guide rail mechanism includes a guide rail fixed in the accommodating groove, and a guide plate fixed on the side of the scanning part close to the device host, and an accommodating space is formed between the guide plate and the scanning part to match the guide rail, so that the guide rail is displaced relative to the guide plate.

[0021] It should be noted that the fit between the guide rail and the guide plate is very stable. Since the protruding side of the guide rail has a certain restrictive effect on the guide plate, it is not easy to produce offset and gap between the two. In addition, the parts are simple, which has installation and cost advantages during production and maintenance.

[0022] In some embodiments, the electronic device also includes a detection device, which is electrically connected to the device host for outputting and inputting electrical signals, and includes a detection end and a sensing element, wherein the detection end and the sensing element are arranged in coordination with each other, and the detection end is used to detect the sensing element and output the detection result to the device host, and the detection result is received by the control center of the device host to determine whether the scanning device is in the first state or in the second state, and the start-up state of the scanning unit is controlled according to the determination result.

[0023] It should be noted that the detection device judges and controls the startup status of the scanning part through components such as the detection end and the sensor, so that the scanning function of the electronic device can be automated, making it more convenient for users to use it. There is no need to turn the scanning function on and off through a scanning switch, thereby improving practicality.

[0024] In some embodiments, the detection end is arranged on a side of the scanning portion close to the device host, and the sensing element is correspondingly arranged on the device host.

[0025] Wherein, when the scanning unit is in the first state, there is a first preset interval between the sensing element and the detection end, so that the detection end does not detect the sensing element, the control center does not generate a scanning signal, and the scanning function of the scanning device is not turned on;

[0026] When the scanning unit is in the second state, there is a second preset interval between the sensing element and the detection end, so that the detection end can detect the sensing element, the control center generates a scanning signal, and the scanning function of the scanning device is turned on.

[0027] In some embodiments, the detection end is a Hall sensor, the induction element is a magnet that cooperates with the Hall sensor, and the Hall sensor is used to detect the magnetic flux density of the magnet at a relative position, so that the control center switches the scanning function of the scanning device on and off according to the magnetic flux density.

[0028] Among them, the Hall sensor and the magnet are set together, so that the control center of the electronic device can turn the scanning function on and off according to the magnetic flux density detected by the Hall sensor. This setting can realize the automatic scanning function through non-contact and wear-free operation, and is not easily affected by the vibration of the equipment on the detection device, and is very practical.

[0029] In some implementations, the device host is also provided with a speaker unit, which can be used to play related audio content externally.

[0030] By providing a speaker unit, the electronic device can be used in a wider range of applications and can be used in conjunction with a display panel to play various audio and video.

[0031] In some embodiments, the connection module is an FPC flexible circuit board, and the guide plate and the receiving groove are both provided with grooves for matching the FPC flexible circuit board;

[0032] The FPC flexible circuit board is electrically connected to the scanning unit and the device host through the corresponding grooves, and forms a drag chain structure inside the electronic device through a U-shaped fold.

[0033] The combination of strip grooves and FPC flexible circuit boards allows most of the circuit boards to move inside the scanning unit and the device host, and the wiring is very clever, which expands the range of movement of the circuit boards, avoids restrictions on the movement of the scanning unit by the circuit boards, and prevents the circuit boards from being easily pulled during the movement of the scanning unit.

[0034] In some embodiments, the device host also includes a pressure plate, an adapter groove is arranged in the accommodating groove, and the FPC flexible circuit board is routed through the adapter groove, the bottom of the pressure plate is arranged in the adapter groove, and part of the FPC flexible circuit board is located in the gap between the adapter groove and the pressure plate, which is used to prevent the FPC flexible circuit board from moving in the disengagement direction.

[0035] Among them, the pressure plate can cover part of the FPC flexible circuit board, which limits the displacement of the FPC flexible circuit board to a certain extent, can avoid the position deviation of the circuit board during the movement of the scanning part, and also protects this part of the circuit board.

[0036] In some embodiments, there are two guide rails, which are integrally formed with the pressure plate. The extension direction of the two guide rails is consistent with the length direction of the scanning unit. In the second state, the length of the scanning unit extending out of the accommodating slot is not less than half of the total length of the scanning unit.

[0037] It should be noted that when the guide rail and the pressure plate are integrally formed, the coordination between the guide rail and the guide plate and the protection of the FPC flexible circuit board by the pressure plate can be achieved at the same time. In addition, the number of parts is reduced, so that the factory can save labor costs during assembly.

[0038] Compared with the prior art, the electronic device with scanning function provided by the present invention has the following features:

[0039] Beneficial effects:

[0040] 1.

The electronic device with scanning function provided by the present invention has a touch-sensitive display panel, and the display panel has a high coverage rate for the device host, so that more and larger text or image information can be displayed, thereby improving the user experience.

[0043] 4. The electronic device with scanning function provided by the present invention is provided with a protective transparent sheet on one side of the camera, which can not only ensure the normal shooting of the camera during the scanning process, but also avoid the wear of the camera during long-term use, thereby increasing the life of the camera.

[0044] 5. The electronic device with scanning function provided by the present invention uses the strip grooves arranged on the guide plate and the receiving groove to wire the FPC flexible circuit board, thereby improving the space utilization rate inside the device and making the circuit board have a wide range of movement, so that the scanning part can be extended to a farther distance.

[0063] In addition, in the description of the present application, the terms "first", "second", etc. are only used to distinguish the description and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0064] In one embodiment, the reference specification Figures 1 to 3 An electronic device with a scanning function provided by the present invention is described. The electronic device provided by the present invention can be applied to a variety of usage scenarios, so that the user experience is very good, and when the user uses this electronic device, the display of the scanned content and the related operation experience are very good, and the flexibility and practicality are greatly improved.

[0065] Reference Manual Attached Figure 1 An electronic device with a scanning function provided by the present invention includes a device host 1 and a scanning unit 2. The device host 1 is provided with a display panel 11 and a receiving slot 10, and the receiving slot 10 is located on the side of the device host 1 away from the display panel 11; the scanning unit 2 can be movably arranged in the receiving slot 10, and is connected to the device host 1 through a connecting module to transmit the scanning content, and the scanning unit 2 can be operated to be in a first state or a second state; when in the first state, the scanning unit 2 is received in the receiving slot 10, and when in the second state, the scanning unit 2 at least partially extends out of the receiving slot 10, so as to be suitable for scanning, and the scanning unit 2 also includes a battery 5, and the battery 5 is used to power the electronic device.

[0066] It should be noted that the battery 5 is arranged on the scanning part 2. Since the scanning part 2 is facing the desktop or paper in most cases when the electronic device is used for scanning, the overall center of gravity of the electronic device is lower, which makes the user more stable during operation and avoids the rollover of the electronic device due to unstable center of gravity, so that the user's experience and the practicality of the device are very good.

[0067] In addition, the display panel 11 can also be configured to synchronously display the scanned content during the scanning process, so that the user can have a good grasp of the scanning progress and can also promptly avoid problems that arise during use by the user.

[0068] In one embodiment, the reference specification Figure 7 and Figure 8 It can be seen from the six views of the electronic device that most of the corners are configured as rounded corners, which makes it less likely for users to be bumped when using it and is also more beautiful.

[0069] In another embodiment, corresponding locking structures are provided on the device main body 1 and the scanning unit 2, so that the scanning unit 2 can be locked when it is in the first state or the second state, thereby preventing the scanning unit 2 from moving accordingly when the electronic device is shaken and affecting the scanning performance.

[0070] More preferably, the locking structure can be configured as a limit groove and a limit tooth. When the scanning part 2 moves to a preset position, the limit groove and the limit tooth interlock, so that the scanning part 2 cannot move further. When the user applies external force to the scanning part 2, the interlocking state of the limit groove and the limit tooth is broken, so that the scanning part 2 can be displaced. Since there are many ways and forms of setting the locking structure, examples are not given here one by one.

[0071] In one embodiment, the reference specification Figure 6 The scanning unit 2 includes a scanning body 21 and a camera 22, and the receiving slot 10 runs through the length direction of the device host 1 to one side, so that the receiving slot 10 forms an opening, and the opening width matches the width of the scanning body 21, and the camera 22 is arranged at one end of the scanning body 21 close to the opening.

[0072] The scanning body 21 can change its relative position with the device host 1 through the opening, and the width of the opening matches the width of the scanning body 21, thereby avoiding the formation of a gap between the two, which would cause dust or water stains to enter through the gap and affect the normal operation of the electronic device; in addition, in general, in order to match the user's scanning action, the lens of the camera 22 is set away from the scanning body 21, which can also be understood as the camera 22 facing the surface to be scanned.

[0073] More preferably, the end of the scanning body 21 is flush with the end of the device host 1, so that the overall device has a strong sense of integrity and improves the aesthetics.

[0074] In one embodiment, the end of one side of the scanning body 21 close to the camera 22 is configured as an inclined surface, and the inclined surface is at a preset angle to the length direction of the scanning body 21. The scanning body 21 is suitable for handholding to match the holding angle of the user when holding the electronic device.

[0075] The setting of the inclined surface can make the user more comfortable when scanning with a handheld electronic device, because the plane of the camera 22 is basically parallel to the paper or desktop. During the scanning process, the user's hand can be naturally tilted and does not need to be perpendicular to the desktop all the time, causing hand fatigue; in addition, it can make the user naturally move in the tilted direction of the electronic device, making the scanning process very natural and easy to use.

[0076] It is also necessary to note that both the scanning body 21 and the device host 1 can provide the user with a grip. Referring to the attached drawings of the specification, there is a certain difference in the outer peripheral dimensions of the scanning body 21 and the device host 1. In this way, some users with smaller hands can hold the scanning body 21, and users with larger hands can hold the device host 1. This makes the user's grip more targeted and more personalized.

[0077] Moreover, anti-slip grooves or some finger-shaped depressions can be added to the holding part to improve the user's holding experience. Specifically, anti-slip grooves and other structures can be set on the two side walls of the device host 1 adjacent to the display panel 11, and / or on the two side walls of the scanning body 21 adjacent to the inclined surface.

[0078] In another embodiment, the inclined surface is confined between the two side walls of the scanning body 21, so that the two side walls of the scanning body 21 and the top wall close to the device host 1 form a partial surrounding area relative to the inclined surface, so that the end of the partial surrounding area is against the surface to be scanned in the second state.

[0079] It should be noted that the partial surrounding area realizes three-sided surrounding of the inclined surface, which can play a certain shading effect. Moreover, due to the setting of the partial surrounding area, the end of the scanning body 21 is against the surface to be scanned when the user holds it, which can also avoid direct friction between the inclined surface and the surface to be scanned.

[0080] The end of the scanning body 21 is configured as a rounded structure, which can also reduce the friction with the surface to be scanned and avoid scratching or damaging the surface to be scanned during the scanning process, thereby avoiding the loss of information on the paper.

[0081] In one embodiment, the display panel 11 is configured as a touch screen, and the touch screen is a full-screen setting, or the coverage range of the touch screen relative to the device host 1 is between 80% and 100%.

[0082] Among them, the display panel 11 has a touch function and is also configured as a large-screen display, so that the user can use the electronic device for scanning, the operation is very convenient, and the scanned content can be viewed on the large screen after scanning, avoiding the embarrassing situation that the scanned content can only be transferred to a computer after traditional scanning, or only a small screen is used to flip through pages, thereby improving the convenience of using the device.

[0083] In one embodiment, based on the above embodiment, the reference specification Figure 6 The device host 1 is also provided with a speaker unit 6, which can be used to play related audio content.

[0084] By providing the speaker unit 6, the electronic device can be used in a wider range of applications, and can be used in conjunction with the display panel 11 to play various audio and video, thus achieving the effect of an MP4 or tablet.

[0085] In another embodiment, a main board 7 is disposed inside the device host 1. The main board 7 is electrically connected to the scanning unit 2 and the speaker unit 6 through a connection module, and is disposed adjacent to the speaker unit 6, which can improve space utilization.

[0086] In one embodiment, the scanning body 21 is also provided with a protective transparent sheet 23, and a fixing hole corresponding to the protective transparent sheet 23 is opened at the end of the scanning body 21 close to the camera 22, so that the protective transparent sheet 23 is fixed in the fixing hole, and the camera 22 is located inside the scanning body 21. In the second state, the camera 22 scans through the fixing hole and the protective transparent sheet 23.

[0087] The protective transparent film 23 can prevent dust or impurities from directly sticking to the lens of the camera 22, which would reduce the clarity of scanning or shooting. It can also protect the camera 22 when the scanning body 21 is bumped. Moreover, the replacement, maintenance and production costs of the protective transparent film 23 will be lower, resulting in excellent economic benefits.

[0088] In addition, the protective transparent film 23 can also be personalized without affecting the normal scanning function, such as setting a transparent color so that different background colors can be displayed in the scanned document; or setting lenses with different focal lengths so that the scanning unit 2 can scan extremely small fonts.

[0089] Moreover, the protective transparent sheet 23 and the inclined surface can be set to be flush as much as possible, so that corresponding protective films and other components can be attached to the plane to improve the protection.

[0090] In another embodiment, the scanning unit 2 is slidably connected to the device host 1 via a guide rail mechanism, and the guide rail mechanism is respectively disposed on the receiving slot 10 and the scanning unit 2 , so that the scanning unit 2 can be displaced in the extension direction of the guide rail mechanism.

[0091] The guide rail mechanism can realize the sliding connection of the scanning part 2 relative to the device main body 1, making it more convenient for the user to operate the scanning part 2. The guide rail mechanism will be described in detail in the subsequent part of the specification.

[0092] In addition, an elastic sliding mechanism similar to the guide rail mechanism can also be provided to realize the sliding connection. The locking structure in the above embodiment can be used in combination with a spring. The spring is provided at the bottom of the accommodating groove 10, that is, away from the opening side. The two free ends of the spring are respectively fixed to the scanning part 2 and the device host 1. When the user slides the scanning part 2, firstly, the cooperation of the limit groove and the limit tooth can realize the hovering of the scanning part 2 at the extreme position. Secondly, the spring generates sufficient rebound force when the scanning part 2 moves to the second state. However, at this time, since the locking structure still has a locking force between the scanning part 2 and the device host 1, the user can still hold the device for scanning. When the user finishes scanning and hopes to restore the scanning part 2 to the first state, the limit groove and the limit tooth can be unlocked, and the scanning part 2 rebounds to the initial state to store the scanning part 2.

[0093] In one embodiment, the guide rail mechanism includes tracks arranged on opposite side walls of the accommodating groove 10, and rollers correspondingly arranged on the side walls of the scanning unit 2. Both tracks are provided with rolling grooves on one side close to the scanning unit 2. The rollers are movably arranged in the rolling grooves through connecting pieces, and the size of the rollers is adapted to the rolling grooves, so that the scanning unit 2 can be displaced in the extension direction of the tracks as the rollers roll.

[0094] Here, the scanning unit 2 can be displaced in the length direction of the device main body 1 through the cooperation of the roller and the rolling groove, so as to realize the conversion between the first state and the second state.

[0095] In one embodiment, based on the above embodiment, the reference specification Figure 4 The guide rail mechanism includes a guide rail 101 fixed in the accommodating groove 10, and a guide plate 201 fixed on the side of the scanning part 2 close to the device main body 1. An accommodating space is formed between the guide plate 201 and the scanning part 2 to match the guide rail 101, so that the guide rail 101 is displaced relative to the guide plate 201.

[0096] It should be noted that the fit between the guide rail 101 and the guide plate 201 is very stable. Since the protruding side of the guide rail 101 has a certain limiting effect on the guide plate 201, it is not easy to produce offset and gap between the two. In addition, the parts are simple, which has installation advantages and cost advantages during production and maintenance.

[0097] Better, refer to the instruction manual Figure 5 Limiting protrusions are provided at the four corners of the guide plate 201 to limit the relative displacement of the guide rail 101 and prevent the scanning unit 2 from falling off.

[0098] In one embodiment, the reference specification Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Fig. 9The connecting module is an FPC flexible circuit board 4. The guide plate 201 and the receiving groove 10 are both provided with grooves 3 to match the FPC flexible circuit board 4. The FPC flexible circuit board 4 is electrically connected to the scanning part 2 and the device host 1 through the corresponding grooves 3, and forms a drag chain structure inside the electronic device through a U-shaped fold.

[0099] The combination of the strip groove 3 and the FPC flexible circuit board 4 is used here, so that most of the circuit boards can move inside the scanning unit 2 and the device host 1, and the wiring is very clever, which expands the range of movement of the circuit board, avoids the restriction of the circuit board on the movement of the scanning unit 2, and prevents the circuit board from being easily pulled during the movement of the scanning unit 2.

[0100] However, it should be noted that it is also possible to wire the FPC flexible circuit board 4 without providing such a groove 3, and this is just one of the preferred implementations.

[0101] In one embodiment, based on the above embodiment, the reference specification Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Fig. 9 The device host 1 also includes a pressing plate 12, an adapting groove 100 is arranged in the accommodating groove 10, and the wiring path of the FPC flexible circuit board 4 is arranged in the adapting groove 100, the bottom of the pressing plate 12 is arranged in the adapting groove 100, and part of the FPC flexible circuit board 4 is located in the gap between the adapting groove 100 and the pressing plate 12, which is used to prevent the FPC flexible circuit board 4 from moving in the direction of escape.

[0102] Among them, in the above embodiment, a groove 3 is set on the accommodating groove 10 to match the FPC flexible circuit board 4. Similarly, the groove 3 can also be set on the adapting groove 100. Both settings can enable the circuit board to enter the device host 1 through the groove 3 and connect with the main board.

[0103] It should be noted that the gap between the adapter groove 100 and the pressure plate 12 is configured to be a distance sufficient for the FPC flexible circuit board 4 to move. Similarly, a strip groove 3 can also be set on the pressure plate 12 to correspond to the strip groove 3 set on the accommodating groove 10, or even overlap. The specific setting needs to be changed accordingly according to the internal structure and internal space of the device.

[0104] In addition, the pressing plate 12 can cover part of the FPC flexible circuit board 4, which limits the displacement of the FPC flexible circuit board 4 to a certain extent, can prevent the FPC flexible circuit board 4 from being offset during the movement of the scanning unit 2, and also protects the FPC flexible circuit board 4.

[0105] In one embodiment, there are two guide rails 101, which are integrally formed with the pressure plate 12. The extension direction of the two guide rails 101 is consistent with the length direction of the scanning unit 2. In the second state, the length of the scanning unit 2 extending out of the accommodating slot 10 is not less than half of the total length of the scanning unit 2.

[0106] It should be noted that when the guide rail 101 and the pressure plate 12 are integrally formed, the coordination between the guide rail 101 and the guide plate 201 and the protection of the FPC flexible circuit board 4 by the pressure plate 12 can be achieved at the same time. In addition, the number of parts is reduced, so that the factory can save labor costs during assembly.

[0107] In one embodiment, a guide rail pad is further provided on the inner periphery of the guide rail 101, the contour of the guide rail pad is consistent with the contour of the guide rail 101, and the outer periphery of the guide rail pad fits with the inner periphery of the guide rail 101, so that the guide rail 101 can form a double-layer guide rail structure, thereby increasing stability.

[0108] Moreover, when the guide pad is made of anti-slip material, slipping between the scanning part 2 and the device host 1 can be avoided. When the guide pad is made of low-friction material, poor sliding between the scanning part 2 and the device host 1 can be avoided, making the device operable.

[0109] In one embodiment, the electronic device also includes a detection device, which is electrically connected to the device host 1 for outputting and inputting electrical signals, and includes a detection end and a sensing element. The detection end and the sensing element are arranged in coordination with each other. The detection end is used to detect the sensing element and output the detection result to the device host 1. The detection result is received by the control center of the device host 1 to determine whether the scanning device is in the first state or the second state, and the startup state of the scanning unit 2 is controlled according to the determination result.

[0110] It should be noted that the detection device determines and controls the startup status of the scanning unit 2 through components such as the detection end and the sensor, so that the scanning function of the electronic device can be automated, making it more convenient for users to use it without having to turn the scanning function on and off through a scanning switch, thereby improving practicality.

[0111] For example, the detection end can be configured as a photoelectric sensor, and the sensing element is correspondingly configured as an identification cursor. When the photoelectric sensor detects the identification cursor, it means that the scanning unit 2 has reached a certain position. Then, the overall movement state of the scanning unit 2 can be detected, and when it moves to the second state, the scanning unit 2 is started.

[0112] In one embodiment, the detection end is arranged on the side of the scanning unit 2 close to the device host 1, and the sensing element is correspondingly arranged on the device host 1, wherein when the scanning unit 2 is in the first state, there is a first preset interval between the sensing element and the detection end, so that the detection end does not detect the sensing element, the control center does not generate a scanning signal, and the scanning function of the scanning device is not turned on; when the scanning unit 2 is in the second state, there is a second preset interval between the sensing element and the detection end, so that the detection end can detect the sensing element, the control center generates a scanning signal, and the scanning function of the scanning device is turned on.

[0113] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the detection end is arranged in the scanning part 2, and the sensing element is arranged in the device host 1. Since the battery 5 is arranged in the scanning part 2, it is more convenient for the battery 5 to power the detection end, and the wiring and wiring are simpler. However, it does not mean that it can only be arranged in this way. It can also be arranged that the sensing element is arranged in the scanning part 2 and the detection end is arranged in the device host 1.

[0114] In one embodiment, the detection end is a Hall sensor, and the induction element is a magnet that cooperates with the Hall sensor. The Hall sensor is used to detect the magnetic flux density of the magnet at a relative position, so that the control center can switch the scanning function of the scanning device according to the magnetic flux density.

[0115] Among them, the Hall sensor and the magnet are set together, so that the control center of the electronic device can turn the scanning function on and off according to the magnetic flux density detected by the Hall sensor. This setting can realize the automatic scanning function through non-contact and wear-free operation, and is not easily affected by the vibration of the equipment on the detection device, and is very practical.

[0116] It should be noted that the above embodiments can be freely combined as needed. The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
