[0025] Embodiment: A lens mounting mechanism for a handheld laser scanner, see attached Figure 1 -Attached Figure 6, comprising a scanner body 1, and a plurality of lens bodies 2 mounted on the scanner body 1, a plurality of notches 101 being provided on the surface of the scanner body 1, a plurality of plug interfaces 102 being opened and closed on the surface of the scanner body 1, and the plurality of plug interfaces 102 being provided to facilitate the installation of the lens body 2; two groups of arc grooves 103 being symmetrically provided on the bottom surface of the plug interface 102, and the arc grooves 103 being provided to facilitate the lens body 2 to rotate counterclockwise along the arc grooves 103 by one eighth of a circle after the lens body 2 is installed inside the plug interface 102, so as to limit the lens body 2 and prevent the lens body 2 from being directly pulled and separated from the scanner body 1; it is worth noting that when the lens body 2 rotates counterclockwise, the number of circles of rotation can be adjusted as required, and is not limited to one eighth of a circle in this article, and the arc groove 103 is connected to an annular cavity 104 provided inside the scanner body 1, and the annular cavity 104 is connected to the notches 101, and the annular cavity 104 is provided to facilitate the installation of components;

[0026] Among them, the lower end of the lens body 2 is fixedly installed with an insertion rod 201. By providing the insertion rod 201, it is convenient for the lens body 2 to enter the interior of the insertion interface 102 through the insertion rod 201 to achieve the installation of the lens body 2; two groups of protrusions 202 are symmetrically installed on the surface of the insertion rod 201, and the lower end of the protrusion 202 is provided with an inclined surface. By providing the protrusion 202, after the insertion rod 201 completely enters the interior of the insertion interface 102, the protrusion 202 is placed in the interior of the arc groove 103, and then the lens body 2 is rotated counterclockwise to make the protrusion 202 rotate along the inner wall of the arc groove 103, so as to limit the lens body 2 and prevent the lens body 2 from being separated from the scanner body 1 when subjected to a direct upward pulling force; two groups of positioning holes 203 are symmetrically provided on the surface of the insertion rod 201. By providing the positioning holes 203, it can cooperate with other components so that the lens body 2 can be in a fixed state after the installation is completed, and will not be disturbed by the external environment and shake, thereby ensuring the scanning accuracy of the lens body 2.

[0027] Combined with Figure 1 -Attached Figure 6 , and also includes a mounting assembly 3 that facilitates the rapid installation of the lens body 2, so that the lens body 2 can be quickly installed during installation, saving installation time, ensuring scanning efficiency, and also enabling rapid disassembly and replacement of the lens body 2; the mounting assembly 3 includes a circular ring 301 disposed inside the annular cavity 104, and the circular ring 301 is disposed and rotated to facilitate the disassembly of the lens body 2; two groups of guide grooves 302 are equidistantly provided on the inner arc surface of the circular ring 301, and the guide grooves 302 are provided from deep to shallow in a counterclockwise direction, and the shape of the guide grooves 302 is an arc structure, and the guide grooves 302 are provided to play a guiding and limiting role;

[0028] Among them, the inner sliding fit of the guide groove 302 is equipped with a round rod 303, and the round rod 303 is radially displaced while sliding in the guide groove 302, so that the round rod 303 is in a state of being engaged or separated from the scanner body 1. By setting the round rod 303, it can cooperate with the guide groove 302, so that when the ring 301 rotates, the round rod 303 can extend and retract under the action of the guide groove 302; a limiting groove 3031 is provided on the surface of the round rod 303, and the inner sliding fit of the limiting groove 3031 is equipped with a guide rod 3032, and the guide rod 3032 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the annular cavity 104. By setting the limiting groove 3031 and the guide rod 3032, when the round rod 303 is extended or retracted, it can move along a fixed path without rotating under the action of the limiting groove 3031 and the guide rod 3032.

[0029] Among them, one end of the round rod 303 is elastically connected to a positioning head 304, and the positioning head 304 is initially located inside the plug interface 102, and the surface of the positioning head 304 is slidably matched with the inclined surface provided at the lower end of the protrusion 202, and the positioning head 304 is plugged and matched with the positioning hole 203. By setting the positioning head 304, it can be moved out from the inside of the positioning hole 203 under the drive of the round rod 303, and the fixed lens body 2 is unlocked, so as to facilitate the rapid replacement of the lens body 2; the outer surface of the ring 301 is movably connected with an elastic telescopic rod 305, and the elastic telescopic rod 305 is provided to play a connecting role;

[0030] The end of the elastic telescopic rod 305 is fixedly installed with a paddle 306, which is arranged inside the notch 101. By setting the paddle 306, the elastic telescopic rod 305 can be driven to move synchronously by paddle 306, so as to drive the ring 301 to rotate counterclockwise while compressing the elastic telescopic rod 305, so that the round rod 303 can enter the deep part of the guide groove 302, and acetone does not drive the positioning head 304 to separate from the positioning hole 203, so as to unlock the lens body 2 for easy replacement; it is worth noting that the paddle 306 is flush with the surface of the scanner body 1 in the initial state;

[0031] Among them, the paddle 306 is rotatably connected to the recess 101 through a rotating shaft 3061 symmetrically installed on its surface. By setting the rotating shaft 3061, the paddle 306 can rotate around the rotating shaft 3061; the paddle 306 is elastically connected to the inner wall of the recess 101 through a torque spring sleeved on the surface of the rotating shaft 3061. By setting the torque spring, when the paddle 306 rotates, it can be driven to deform and generate a reaction force, so that the paddle 306 can be reset after the fluctuation, and when the paddle 306 is reset, it will drive the ring 301 to reset under the reaction force generated by the compressed elastic telescopic rod 305, so that the round rod 303 drives the positioning head 304 to restore to its initial state; it is worth noting that the torque spring is a prior art and is not shown in the figure.

[0032] Specifically, when the lens body 2 is installed, the insertion rod 201 is inserted into the interior of the insertion interface 102, and the positioning head 304 is compressed by the inclined surface opened at the lower end of the protrusion 202, so that the positioning head 304 moves in the direction of the round rod 303. When the lens body 2 is installed in place, it is rotated one-eighth of a turn counterclockwise so that the protrusion 202 and the arc groove 103 form a snap-fit ​​state. While the protrusion 202 rotates, the compressed positioning head 304 will extend out and enter the interior of the positioning hole 203 after the rotation of the lens body 2 is completed, thereby fixing the lens body 2 and realizing the rapid installation of the lens body 2.

[0033] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or replace some of the technical features therein by equivalents. These modifications or replacements will not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the protection scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
