DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] In order to more clearly understand the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of the present disclosure, the scheme of the present disclosure will be further described below. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present disclosure and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0030] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present disclosure, but the present disclosure may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein; it is obvious that the embodiments in the specification are only part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, rather than all of the embodiments.

[0031] The scanner is described in detail below through a specific embodiment:

[0032] Reference Figures 1 to 6As shown, some embodiments of the utility model provide a scanner, including a scanning component and a ball frame 1, the scanning component is used for three-dimensional scanning, the ball frame 1 is formed into a hollow structure, the scanning component is detachably arranged inside the ball frame 1, when scanning an object with a relatively flat surface, the scanning component is connected to the ball frame 1, the ball frame 1 can transmit the acquired motion parameters to the device connected to the ball frame 1, and the three-dimensional results obtained by combining the motion parameters and the scanning component can obtain a more accurate scanning result. When scanning an object with more obvious features, there is no need to install the ball frame 1, and only the scanning component is required to obtain a more accurate scanning result. In other words, the scanner disclosed in the present invention can choose whether to install the ball frame 1 according to actual needs, and can be applied to different occasions, reduce the burden during scanning, and make scanning more labor-saving.

[0033] In a specific implementation, the scanning assembly includes a handle 2 and a camera module 3 disposed on the handle 2. The handle 2 is detachably connected to the ball frame 1, so that the handle 2 and the camera module 3 can be removed from the ball frame 1 and installed on the ball frame 1. After the handle 2 is removed from the ball frame 1, the camera module 3 can be used to scan and obtain a three-dimensional result, thereby completing the scanning. Specifically, the camera module 3 includes a camera unit and a projection unit. The three-dimensional morphology of the object to be measured can be obtained by combining the camera unit and the projection unit with stereo vision technology.

[0034] Reference Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the top of the handle 2 is connected to the ball frame 1 through the first connecting member 4, one end of the first connecting member 4 is detachably connected to the handle 2, and the other end is detachably connected to the ball frame 1. In this way, the first connecting member 4 can be replaced in time after being worn or damaged.

[0035] Specifically, the first connecting member 4 can be an elastic connecting member, and the first connecting member 4 can undergo elastic deformation to absorb part of the vibration impact, thereby reducing the strain transmitted to the camera module 3, reducing the impact of the vibration impact on the camera module 3, and improving the stability of the scanner optical system. At the same time, the first connecting member 4 and the ball frame 1, and the first connecting member 4 and the handle 2 are all detachably connected, which can avoid the first connecting member 4 from reducing its ability to recover deformation due to a long use cycle, ensure the ability of the handle 2 and the ball frame 1 to buffer vibration, and thus ensure scanning stability. Of course, the first connecting member 4 can also be a rigid connecting member to ensure the stable support between the handle 2 and the ball frame 1. The present disclosure does not limit this, and it can be specifically set according to actual needs.

[0036] When implementing it, refer to Figure 6As shown, the first connecting member 4 includes a support bar 41, and the two ends of the support bar 41 are respectively provided with a first fixing plate 42 and a second fixing plate 43, the first fixing plate 42 is connected to the handle 2 through a first fastener, and the second fixing plate 43 is connected to the ball frame 1 through a second fastener. Specifically, both the first fixing plate 42 and the second fixing plate 43 are provided with openings, the first fastener passes through the opening on the first fixing plate 42 and is threadedly connected to the handle 2, and the second fastener passes through the opening on the second fixing plate 43 and is threadedly connected to the ball frame 1, which is convenient for installation and stable connection.

[0037] Furthermore, the support bar 41 can be made of soft plastic that is easily elastically deformed, or the support bar 41 is a structure such as a spring, so that the first connecting member 4 is formed as an elastic connecting member, thereby making the support bar 41 have a certain structural strength to support the relative position between the handle 2 and the ball frame 1, while also being able to reduce the vibration between the handle 2 and the ball frame 1.

[0038] Of course, other detachable connection methods such as snap-on, riveting, etc. can be used between one end of the first connecting member 4 and the handle 2, that is, between the first fixing plate 42 and the handle 2, and between the other end and the ball frame 1, that is, between the second fixing plate 43 and the ball frame 1. The present disclosure does not limit this and can be specifically set according to actual conditions.

[0039] Continue to refer to Figure 6 As shown, there are two support bars 41, and a triangular support structure is formed between one of the first fixing plate 42 and the second fixing plate 43 and the two support bars 41. It can be understood that one end of the two support bars 41 is arranged close to each other, and the other end is arranged far away from each other, and the far-away end is arranged on one of the first fixing plate 42 and the second fixing plate 43 to form a stable triangular support structure, thereby providing a relatively stable support between the handle 2 and the ball frame 1, avoiding excessive deformation between the handle 2 and the ball frame 1 and affecting the scanning imaging effect.

[0040] Reference Figure 1 As shown, there are two first connecting members 4, and the two first connecting members 4 are respectively arranged on both sides of the top of the handle 2. It can be understood that the two first connecting members 4 and the ball frame 1 can form a triangular support structure together to prevent the handle 2 from shaking relative to the ball frame 1, making the structure stable.

[0041] Of course, it should be noted that the number of the first connecting members 4 can be three, four or more, and the shape of the first connecting members 4 can also be other structural shapes. The present disclosure does not limit this, as long as the ball frame 1 can be supported on the handle 2 and the vibration impact between the handle 2 and the ball frame 1 can be buffered.

[0042] In some embodiments, reference Figure 6As shown, a fixing seat 11 is provided at the bottom of the handle 2, the camera module 3 is provided on the fixing seat 11, and one end of the fixing seat 11 away from the handle 2 is detachably connected to the ball frame 1. That is, the fixing seat 11 and the ball frame 1 are detachably connected, so that the bottom of the handle 2 can be removed from the ball frame 1 and installed on the ball frame 1, and then it can be selected whether to install the ball frame 1 according to actual needs, and then it can be applied to different occasions.

[0043] It is understandable that the top and bottom of the handle 2 are connected to the ball frame 1, which can ensure the connection strength, make the connection stable, and avoid damage caused by uneven force. Further, the camera module 3 is rigidly connected to the fixing seat 11, which can ensure the stable connection between the camera module 3 and the fixing seat 11, thereby ensuring the scanning imaging effect. Specifically, the camera module 3 can be set on the fixing seat 11 by fasteners such as screws so that the two can be stably connected.

[0044] The fixing seat 11 is a plate-like structure with a fixing hole formed on the fixing seat 11. The fixing seat 11 is connected to the ball frame 1 via a third fastener passed through the fixing hole. That is to say, the handle 2 can be detachably connected to the ball frame 1 through the fixing seat 11, so that the camera module 3 can be removed from the ball frame 1 along with the handle 2, so that the scanner disclosed in the present invention can be applied to different occasions, reducing the burden during scanning and making scanning more labor-saving.

[0045] In some embodiments, reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the handle 2 is connected to the fixing seat 11 through the second connecting member 5, one end of the second connecting member 5 is detachably connected to the handle 2, and the other end is detachably connected to the fixing seat 11. In this way, the second connecting member 5 can be replaced in time after being worn or damaged.

[0046] Specifically, the second connecting member 5 can be an elastic connecting member, and the second connecting member 5 can be elastically deformed to absorb part of the vibration impact, thereby reducing the strain transmitted to the camera module 3, reducing the impact of the vibration impact on the camera module 3, and improving the stability of the scanner optical system. At the same time, the second connecting member 5 and the handle 2, and the second connecting member 5 and the fixing seat 11 are all detachably connected, which can avoid the second connecting member 5 from reducing its ability to restore deformation due to a long use cycle, thereby ensuring scanning stability. Of course, the second connecting member 5 can also be a rigid connecting member to ensure the stability of the support between the handle 2 and the fixing seat 11. This is not limited in the present disclosure and can be specifically set according to actual needs.

[0047] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the second connecting member 5 includes a connecting plate 51, on which a first mounting hole 511 and a second mounting hole 512 are formed. The handle 2 is connected to the connecting plate 51 via a fourth fastener passing through the first mounting hole 511, and the fixing seat 11 is connected to the connecting plate 51 via a fifth fastener passing through the second mounting hole 512, thereby making the connecting plate 51 connected to the handle 2 via the fourth fastener and connected to the fixing seat 11 via the fifth fastener. The connecting plate 51 can buffer the vibration impact between the handle 2 and the fixing seat 11.

[0048] Of course, other detachable connection methods such as snap-on, riveting, etc. can be used between one end of the second connecting member 5 and the handle 2, and between the other end and the fixing seat 11. The present disclosure does not limit this, as long as the second connecting member 5 can be set between the handle 2 and the fixing seat 11 for easy disassembly.

[0049] It should be noted that the first fastener, the second fastener, the third fastener, the fourth fastener and the fifth fastener can be elastic plastic screws. It is understandable that when the first connector 4 and the second connector 5 are elastically deformed, the first fastener and the second fastener locked on the first connector 4, the third fastener locked on the ball frame 1, and the fourth fastener and the fifth fastener locked on the second connector 5 can also be elastically deformed to buffer the vibration impact, and can also avoid the first connector 4 and the second connector 5 from being damaged due to excessive locking force, thereby ensuring the service life of the product.

[0050] Continue to refer to Figure 5 As shown, one of the first mounting holes 511 and the second mounting holes 512 is two, the other of the first mounting holes 511 and the second mounting holes 512 is one, and the first mounting holes 511 and the second mounting holes 512 are distributed in a triangular shape. It can be understood that, through two first mounting holes 511 and one second mounting hole 512, or one first mounting hole 511 and two second mounting holes 512, the connecting piece 51 can be fixed on the handle 2 and the fixing seat 11, so as to prevent the displacement of the connecting piece 51 from changing when the handle 2 is subjected to vibration and impact. All the first mounting holes 511 and all the second mounting holes 512 are distributed in a triangular shape, that is, all the fourth fasteners and all the fifth fasteners are distributed in a triangular shape, so that the connecting piece 51 can be evenly stressed and the connection is stable.

[0051] Reference Figure 6 As shown, the bottom of the handle 2 is flush with the bottom of the fixing seat 11, and the connecting piece 51 is arranged at the bottom of the handle 2 and the bottom of the fixing seat 11. In other words, the connecting piece 51 is arranged in close contact with the bottom of the handle 2 and the bottom of the fixing seat 11, and the connecting piece 51 will not be subjected to additional pulling force or deformation force, which can ensure the service life of the connecting piece 51.

[0052] Of course, it should be noted that the second connecting member 5 can also be a connecting member of other structures, and the present disclosure does not limit this. As long as a certain structural support force can be provided between the handle 2 and the fixing seat 11, and a detachable connection between the handle 2 and the fixing seat 11 can be achieved, it will be sufficient.

[0053] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1 As shown, the ball frame 1 includes a plurality of connecting rods 12 and a plurality of fixed joints 13, the plurality of fixed joints 13 are distributed in a hemispherical shape, at least one connecting rod 12 is connected between two adjacent fixed joints 13, and the handle 2 is detachably connected to the fixed joint 13. In other words, the connecting rod 12, the handle 2 and the fixed seat 11 are all fixed on the fixed joint 13, specifically, the connecting rod 12 and the fixed joint 13 can be threadedly connected, the first connecting member 4 and the fixed joint 13 can also be threadedly connected, and the fixed seat 11 and the fixed joint 13 can also be threadedly connected. As long as a plurality of threaded holes are processed on the fixed joint 13, the scanner can be assembled, which is convenient to operate and simple in structure.

[0054] It should be noted that, in this article, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are only used to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Moreover, the terms "include", "comprise" or any other variants thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device including a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also other elements not explicitly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device. In the absence of further restrictions, the elements defined by the sentence "comprise a ..." do not exclude the existence of other identical elements in the process, method, article or device including the elements.

[0055] The above are only specific embodiments of the present disclosure, so that those skilled in the art can understand or implement the present disclosure. Various modifications to these embodiments will be apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein can be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present disclosure.
