[0030] Various exemplary embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that unless otherwise specifically stated, the relative arrangements of components and steps, numerical expressions and numerical values ​​set forth in these embodiments do not limit the scope of the present invention.

[0031] The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative in nature and is in no way intended to limit the present invention, its application, or uses.

[0032] Techniques and equipment known to ordinary technicians in the relevant art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, the techniques and equipment should be considered part of the specification.

[0033] In all examples shown and discussed herein, any specific values ​​should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not limiting. Therefore, other examples of the exemplary embodiments may have different values.

[0034] It should be noted that like reference numerals and letters refer to similar items in the following figures, and therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it need not be further discussed in subsequent figures.

[0035] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, according to one aspect of the utility model, there is provided a code scanning box, comprising: a base 3, a light frame 1 and a camera assembly 2; the light frame 1 is openably arranged on one side of the base 3, and the camera assembly 2 is fixed to the inner side of the light frame 1 and is consistent with the orientation of the light frame 1 to form a code scanning window.

[0036] Specifically, in this embodiment, the provided code scanning box has a light frame 1, which can be in a state of constant light or flashing light to highlight the placement of the code scanning window during use, which is easy for users to identify and improves the efficiency of code scanning. Furthermore, the camera assembly 2 is arranged inside the light frame 1, and its orientation is consistent with that of the light frame 1, so that it and the light frame 1 can form a code scanning window, which is convenient for users to scan code payment or commodity code scanning light operation through the camera assembly 2 under the guidance of the light frame 1.

[0037] In addition, the light frame 1 is fixed to one side of the base 3 in an openable and closable manner, so that in actual applications, the code scanning window can be adjusted to a suitable tilt angle according to actual needs, so that the camera component 2 can quickly identify the QR code or barcode, etc., further improving the efficiency and convenience of code scanning. Among them, the setting of the base 3 can make the placement of the entire code scanning box more stable, avoiding tipping or tilting due to collision and other reasons during the code scanning process.

[0038] In the above embodiment, the light frame 1 is designed as a frame structure, the middle of which is hollow, so as to facilitate the installation of the camera assembly 2 and provide a certain degree of protection for the camera assembly 2. A circle of light strips can be provided on the light frame 1 or several sections of contoured light strips can be provided along its outer circle to highlight the position of the code scanning window. And the light frame 1 can be designed to be always on or flashing or in different colors according to actual needs, such as before or after scanning the code, so as to improve the prompt effect of the light frame 1, and the utility model does not impose any restrictions on this. In addition, the light frame 1 also has a fill light effect during the code scanning process, making it easier to identify various screen codes, paper codes, cup sticker codes, etc.

[0039] The camera assembly 2 can be arranged on any side frame of the light frame 1, and can be designed according to actual needs and aesthetic requirements. Figure 1 As shown, the camera assembly 2 is arranged on the bottom of the light frame 1 close to the connection with the base 3. In practical applications, if there are many parts at the bottom, the camera can also be arranged on the side or upper part of the light frame 1, and the specific code scanning area of ​​the camera assembly 2 can be adjusted to the center of the light frame 1 to improve the recognition efficiency of the code scanning.

[0040] In addition, the opening and closing connection between the lamp frame 1 and the base 3 can be realized by the rotating shaft 4, which has a simple structure. After assembly, the lamp frame 1 can be opened to a specific angle, which is convenient for merchants or users to adjust according to actual needs. In actual applications, the entire code scanning box can be connected to a cash register or other equipment via a data cable or Bluetooth and used as an auxiliary device.

[0041] Alternatively, if Figures 1 to 8 As shown, the lamp frame 1 can be opened and closed to a set angle relative to the base 3, and the set angle range is 0° to 90°.

[0042] Specifically, in this embodiment, the lamp frame 1 is configured to be able to open and close to a set angle relative to the base 3, that is, the lamp frame 1 can be fixed at a position of a set angle relative to the base 3 without the need for external equipment for support, etc. The setting angle range of the opening and closing is 0° to 90°, which can basically cover all user needs.

[0043] For example, in some cashier counters with glass display windows, the base 3 can be opened to 90 degrees, the base 3 is laid flat, and the light frame 1 is placed vertically against the glass display window, and the user can point the QR code or one-dimensional code toward the scanning window to scan the code. In some low-counter usage scenarios, the opening and closing angle of the light frame 1 can be set within a smaller range, such as about 45 degrees. In some high-counter usage scenarios, the opening and closing angle of the light frame 1 can be set within a larger range, such as about 75 degrees, etc. The specific setting can be based on the actual usage scenario, and the utility model does not limit this.

[0044] In some special usage scenarios, the base 3 can also be hung on a wall or a top wall to achieve a 360° orientation of the code scanning window, thereby increasing the applicability of the code scanning box.

[0045] Alternatively, if Figures 5 to 8 As shown, the outer contour of the base 3 is consistent with the outer contour of the lamp frame 1.

[0046] Specifically, the outer contour of the lamp frame 1 is designed to be consistent with the outer contour of the base 3. Generally, it can be understood that their outer contours and sizes are the same. On the one hand, it can improve the aesthetics of the barcode scanning box. On the other hand, it can also make the lamp frame 1 and the base 3 in a closed state. It occupies less space and is easy to store. Figures 5 to 8 As shown, it is a schematic diagram of the lamp frame 1 and the base 3 in the closed state, the outer contours of which are both designed to be square, and in the closed state, the two are completely overlapped, which improves their aesthetics.

[0047] In one embodiment, the size of the lamp frame 1 can also be designed to be slightly smaller than or larger than the outer contour of the base 3, and the utility model does not impose strict restrictions on this. In practical applications, the size of the lamp frame 1 can be designed to be 90cm×90cm, and the base 3 matches the size to meet actual use requirements.

[0048] Optionally, the light frame 1 remains in a normally on state after the barcode scanning box is powered on.

[0049] Specifically, in this embodiment, the light frame 1 is designed to be in a constantly on state, so that the code scanning window is more prominent, which can improve the position recognition efficiency of the code scanning window.

[0050] Alternatively, if Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the camera assembly 2 includes a lens 22 and a bracket 21 . The lens 22 is fixed to a side of the light frame 1 close to the base 3 via the bracket 21 . A set distance is left between the lens 22 and the light frame 1 .

[0051] Specifically, in the actual scanning process, if the scanning screen is too close to the lens 22, the scanning range is likely to be too small and difficult to identify, while if the distance is too far, the recognition efficiency will be reduced. In this embodiment, the lens 22 is fixed to the light frame 1 through the bracket 21 and has a set distance from the light frame 1, such as 1cm to 2cm, which can increase the depth of the lens 22 to improve the scanning efficiency. Setting the lens 22 on the side of the light frame 1 facing the base 3 is conducive to protecting the lens 22 from human damage.

[0052] Alternatively, if Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the base 3 is a hollow structure 31 , and the hollow structure 31 can be used to accommodate the camera assembly 2 .

[0053] Specifically, in this embodiment, the camera assembly 2 can adjust the inclination as the light frame 1 moves. In practical applications, the base 3 is designed as a hollow structure 31, so that the entire code scanning window avoids interference with the base 3 during the adjustment process, thereby improving the safety and reliability of the camera assembly 2. In addition, when the light frame 1 and the base 3 are closed, the camera assembly 2 can also be completely hidden in the base 3, thereby improving the aesthetics of the code scanning box. Furthermore, the base 3 is designed as a hollow structure 31, which is also conducive to hanging the code scanning box on a wall or the like through the base 3, thereby improving the position adaptability of the code scanning box.

[0054] Optionally, the camera assembly 2 further includes a mainboard, which is disposed on the bracket 21 , and the lens 22 and the light frame 1 are both connected to the mainboard.

[0055] Specifically, in this embodiment, the mainboard is arranged on the bracket 21, and can be connected to the lens 22 and the light frame 1 at a short distance, thereby improving the convenience of cable connection. In practical applications, the bracket 21 can be designed in the shape of a shell, the lens 22 is arranged on the mainboard, the mainboard is arranged inside the shell, and the connection line of the light frame 1 is connected to the mainboard from the connection with the bracket 21.

[0056] Optionally, the camera assembly 2 further includes a Bluetooth module, which is connected to the mainboard and is used for wireless communication with external devices.

[0057] Specifically, by setting up a Bluetooth module, the barcode scanning box can be connected to a connecting device such as a cash register when the distance between the barcode scanning box and the cash register is far, thereby improving the flexibility of placing the barcode scanning box. In addition, a Bluetooth indicator light can be set on the mainboard, so that when the Bluetooth module is connected, it can be indicated by the indicator light, so that the user can identify the connection status.

[0058] Optionally, the camera assembly 2 further includes a buzzer, which is connected to the mainboard and is used for prompting the setting functions of the code scanning box.

[0059] Specifically, in this embodiment, the buzzer can also be set on the bracket 21 to facilitate connection with the main board, so that in the case of successful or failed code scanning, a prompt for the set function can be provided, making the instructions clearer.

[0060] Alternatively, if Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the camera assembly 2 also includes a USB connection cable, which is connected to the mainboard; a notch 32 is provided at the bottom of the base 3, and the USB connection cable can pass through the notch 32 to connect to an external device.

[0061] Specifically, in this embodiment, one end of the USB cable is connected to the mainboard, and the other end passes through the notch 32 at the bottom of the base 3 to achieve connection with an external device, such as a radio, thereby improving the stability of the connection and avoiding frequent disconnection of the barcode scanning box, which affects the business operations. The length of the USB cable can be designed to be 1m, 1.5m, etc. according to actual needs, and the utility model does not limit this. In addition, through the USB cable connection, the barcode scanning box can be powered by the USB cable without the need for a power adapter, thereby reducing production costs.

[0062] The above embodiments focus on the differences between the various embodiments. As long as the different optimization features between the various embodiments are not contradictory, they can be combined to form a better embodiment. Considering the simplicity of the text, they will not be repeated here.
