Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of image scanning equipment, in particular to a large-format image scanning equipment. Background Art

[0002] Currently, an image scanning device is a device for scanning an original image (such as a painting or a picture) and converting the original image into digital data.

[0003] With the development of information technology, small-format (below A0 size) paper documents have been digitized and electronically stored and processed by scanners and other equipment. However, for large-format (above A0 size) paper documents in some special demand areas, such as large-format image scanning and acquisition equipment for large-format paper documents such as oil paintings, there are the following problems: 1. Because oil paintings are made of ink and there are uneven ink dots on their surface, the scanning components in the existing large-format image scanning and acquisition equipment need to scan back and forth multiple times at different angles to fully record all the concave and convex features of the scanned area of ​​the large-format oil painting and form a 3D drawing. This greatly reduces the efficiency of information scanning and acquisition in actual use. 2. The scanning platform used to place the scanned image on the existing large-format image scanning and acquisition equipment is an ordinary flat piece. In actual use, when scanning a large-format image, if you want to put it down completely, you need to customize a scanning platform of the same size. At the same time, after the scanning is completed, you need to manually recover the scanned image and replace it with a new scanned oil painting, which is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also reduces the scanning efficiency and increases the cost of use.
