Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0023] See also Figure 1-5 , the utility model provides a technical solution:

[0024] An electronic price computing scale surface detection structure comprises an electronic price computing scale body 1, a detection mechanism 2 is arranged on the top of the electronic price computing scale body 1, and a protective box 4 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the electronic price computing scale body 1;

[0025] The detection mechanism 2 includes a camera 201, a fixing plate 202, a stripe laser projector 203 and a support rod 204.

[0028] Specifically, Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, the bottom of the support rod 204 is fixedly connected to the limit block 10, and a limit button 7 is arranged on the left side of the limit block 10. The right side of the limit button 7 passes through the limit block 10 and extends to the inside of the electronic price calculating scale body 1, and the surface of the limit button 7 is connected to the internal thread of the limit block 10.

[0029] Specifically, Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the left side of the electronic price computing scale body 1 is fixedly connected to a limit bar 5, and the left side of the support rod 204 is rotatably connected to a lever 3.

[0030] In this embodiment: by rotating the support rod 204 backward and movably connecting the surface of the rotating block 6 with the inside of the support rod 204, the support rod 204 can be easily rotated, and the support rod 204 and the camera 201 and the stripe laser projection 203 are rotated backward to the inside of the protective box 4. At this time, the limit bar 5 contacts the support rod 204 to limit the support rod 204, and the protective box 4 can protect the camera 201 and the stripe laser projection 203. By rotating the limit button 7 and moving the limit button 7 to the inside of the electronic price calculating scale body 1, the support rod 204 can be limited.

[0031] Specifically, Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, both sides of the protection box 4 are fixedly connected with rails 12, the top of the protection box 4 is provided with a protection cover 8, both sides of the protection cover 8 are provided with slide grooves 13, and the surface of the rails 12 is in active contact with the inner wall of the slide groove 13.

[0032] Specifically, Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, both sides of the rear side of the protection box 4 are fixedly connected with Velcro fleece surfaces 11, both sides of the rear side of the protection cover 8 are fixedly connected with connecting blocks 15, the front side of the connecting block 15 is fixedly connected with Velcro hook surface 9, and the rear side of the Velcro fleece surface 11 is hooked with the front side of the Velcro hook surface 9.

[0033] Specifically, Figure 5 As shown, a pull block 14 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the protective cover 8 .

[0034] In this embodiment: by moving the protective cover 8 to the slide groove 13 and engaging with the rail 12, and then hooking the Velcro fur surface 11 with the Velcro hook surface 9, the protective cover 8 can be connected to the protective box 4, and the camera 201 can be protected inside the protective box 4, and the protective cover 8 can be pulled by pulling the pull block 14.

[0035] Working principle: The stripe laser projection 203 is used as the active light source for detection. The stripe light it emits has a specific wavelength and light intensity distribution. When the stripe light is projected onto the surface of the scale plate of the electronic price calculating scale body 1, based on the principle of light reflection, on a flat surface, the stripes will be arranged regularly, with uniform stripe spacing and straight stripe shapes. This is because the reflection angle and path of light on a uniform plane are relatively consistent. When the scale plate surface of the electronic price calculating scale body 1 is uneven, according to the principle of triangulation, due to the change in surface height, the reflection path of the stripe light changes, causing the stripe image captured by the camera 201 to be deformed. The optical imaging system of the camera 201 focuses the stripe light reflected from the surface of the scale plate of the electronic price calculating scale body 1 The image sensor is composed of a large number of pixel units. Each pixel unit converts the received light intensity into a corresponding electrical signal, and forms a digital image signal after analog-to-digital conversion. The image collected by the camera 201 is first pre-processed by the built-in data processing unit, including grayscale processing, converting the color image into a grayscale image, reducing the amount of data and highlighting the contrast of the stripes, and then performing filtering operations such as Gaussian filtering or median filtering to remove noise points in the image. These noises may be caused by ambient light interference, thermal noise of electronic components, etc., and then feature extraction is performed. For the stripe image, the edge contour of the stripe is accurately extracted through the edge detection algorithm, and then the stripe straight line is fitted using methods such as Hough transform to calculate the actual stripe. The parameters such as the inter-spatial spacing and slope are compared with the parameters of the original projected fringes. The mathematical model established according to the triangulation principle is used to calculate the height difference of each point on the surface of the weighing plate of the electronic price computing scale body 1 relative to the reference plane by using the change of the fringes parameters. Finally, according to the calculated height difference data, the flatness evaluation index is used to judge whether the surface of the weighing plate of the electronic price computing scale body 1 is flat. If it exceeds the preset flatness standard range, it is judged that the surface has defects or is uneven, and the detection result is displayed through the external display terminal. When the camera 201 and the projector 203 are not needed, the limit button 7 is turned to move the limit button 7 out of the inside of the electronic price computing scale body 1, and then the support rod 204 is turned backward until the camera 201 is inside the protective box 4. Then move the protective cover 8 to the slide groove 13 and engage with the rail 12, then hook the Velcro fur surface 11 with the Velcro hook surface 9, and then the protective cover 8 can be connected to the protective box 4, and the camera 201 can be protected inside the protective box 4, and then turn the limit button 7, and move the limit button 7 to the inside of the electronic price computing scale body 1 again, so that the camera 201 can be limited inside the protective box 4, and when necessary, the camera 201 can be rotated to the outside of the protective box 4, so that the flatness of the weighing plate of the electronic price computing scale body 1 can be easily detected to determine whether the weighing plate of the electronic price computing scale body 1 needs to be replaced, thereby avoiding the problem that the top of some existing electronic price computing scales does not have a structure for detecting the flatness of the symmetrical plate, and the weighing plate of the electronic price computing scale frequently bears the weight of various objects.When placing heavy objects or objects with sharp corners, the pressure on the weighing pan may cause local deformation and different degrees of depression. It is difficult to judge whether the weighing pan of the electronic price computing scale is flat by naked eyes. The depression of the weighing pan can easily affect the accurate weighing and pricing of the object.
