[0028] Combine the following Figure 1-Figure 6 The utility model describes a dictionary pen.

[0029] The utility model embodiment provides a dictionary pen, such as Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, it includes: a pen body 10, a camera module 50, a power module 80, a trigger device 60 and a controller 70. The camera module 50 and the trigger device 60 are both installed at the scanning end of the pen body 10, and the power module 80 and the controller 70 are both installed in the pen body 10. Figure 6 As shown, the trigger device 60 is used to generate a trigger signal when the pen body 10 contacts the medium to be scanned, the camera module 50, the power module 80 and the trigger device 60 are all connected to the controller 70, and the controller 70 is constructed to control the power module 80 to turn on and control the camera module 50 to start based on the trigger signal of the trigger device 60.

[0030] The medium to be scanned is a photo or book, etc., and the content to be scanned is the text on the medium to be scanned. Figure 5 As shown, the camera module 50 is located in the middle of the pen body 10, which is used to capture the image of the content to be scanned. The power module 80 is connected to the camera module 50 to power the camera module 50. A fill light is provided next to the camera module 50, and the fill light is used to provide lighting for scanning. Specifically, the power module 80 includes a rechargeable battery and a power distribution circuit. The rechargeable battery is set in the pen body 10, and a charging interface 11 is provided on the pen body 10. The charging interface 11 is electrically connected to the rechargeable battery so as to charge the rechargeable battery. Figure 4 As shown, the charging interface 11 is arranged on the top of the pen body 10. The power distribution circuit is connected to the rechargeable battery to distribute the power of the rechargeable battery to each power consumption unit.

[0031] The trigger device 60 can be a trigger switch or a detection element such as a pressure sensor, as long as the trigger device 60 generates a trigger signal when the scanning end of the pen body 10 contacts the surface of the medium to be scanned. For example, the trigger device 60 is a trigger switch, which is arranged at the end of the scanning end of the pen body 10. When the user holds the dictionary pen and makes the scanning end of the pen body 10 contact the surface of the medium to be scanned, the trigger switch is triggered, and the controller 70 controls the power module 80 to start and controls the camera module 50 to start according to the trigger signal of the trigger switch, thereby turning on the scanning pen and the scanning function at the same time, without setting a power switch on the pen body 10.

[0032] It should be noted that when the trigger device 60 generates a trigger signal, the controller 70 can turn on the camera module 50 synchronously while turning on the power module 80, or can turn on the camera module 50 after turning on the power module 80. Optionally, the controller 70 controls the power module 80 and the camera module 50 to turn on according to a single trigger signal of the trigger device 60, or the controller 70 controls the power module 80 to turn on according to the first trigger signal of the trigger device 60, and controls the camera module 50 to turn on according to the second trigger signal of the trigger device 60. Specifically, when the scanning end of the pen body 10 abuts on the surface of the medium to be scanned, the trigger device 60 sends a signal to the controller 70, and the controller 70 sends a start signal to the power module 80 to control the power module 80 to turn on. After the power module 80 is turned on, the user picks up the dictionary pen and leaves the medium to be scanned, and presses it on the surface of the medium to be scanned again, so as to control the camera module 50 to turn on for scanning according to the second trigger signal of the trigger device 60.

[0033] The dictionary pen provided by the embodiment of the utility model can generate a trigger signal when the pen body 10 contacts the medium to be scanned by setting a trigger device 60. The controller 70 can control the power supply module 80 to supply power and control the camera module 50 to turn on according to the trigger signal. Therefore, when scanning, the power module 80 and the camera module 50 can be turned on by directly contacting the scanning end of the pen body 10 with the scanning medium. There is no need to set a power switch on the pen body 10. The operating steps of the scanning process are simplified while maintaining the coordinated appearance of the dictionary pen.

[0034] In an optional embodiment, the trigger device 60 includes a pressure-sensitive element, the sensing portion of which is disposed at the scanning end of the pen body 10 to detect deformation of the pen body 10 when it contacts the medium to be scanned, and the connecting portion of the pressure-sensitive element is connected to the controller 70 .

[0035] Specifically, Figure 2As shown, a scanning window 20 is provided on the back of the pen body 10. The sensing part of the pressure-sensitive element is arranged on the side wall of the scanning window 20 facing the inside of the pen body 10. When scanning, the scanning window 20 is aligned with the content to be scanned and the scanning end of the pen body 10 is pressed on the medium to be scanned. Since the scanning window 20 is close to the end of the pen body 10, the side wall of the scanning window 20 will be deformed under the interaction between the medium to be scanned and the pen body 10, and the sensing part of the pressure-sensitive element will change accordingly to collect deformation information. The controller 70 controls the power module 80 to start power supply according to the information collected by the pressure-sensitive element, and controls the camera module 50 to start and enter the scanning mode. Alternatively, the scanning end of the pen body 10 has a scanning feeler, and the sensing part of the pressure-sensitive element is installed on the side of the scanning feeler facing the inside of the pen body 10. When the user presses the scanning feeler on the medium to be scanned, the scanning feeler drives the pressure-sensitive element to deform under the reaction force of the medium to be scanned.

[0036] In another optional embodiment, the trigger device 60 includes a retractable scanning head and a pressure sensor disposed in the pen body 10. The retractable scanning head is retractably mounted at the scanning end of the pen body 10. When the dictionary pen is in a scanning state, the retractable scanning head retracts to trigger the pressure sensor, and the controller 70 controls the power module 80 to turn on and controls the camera module 50 to start based on the detection value of the pressure sensor.

[0037] Specifically, the end of the telescopic scanning head extending outward from the pen body 10 is in an arc shape, which facilitates smooth contact with the surface of the medium to be scanned. Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the telescopic scanning head includes two legs 30, each of which can be telescopically mounted on the pen body 10. Two pressure sensors are installed inside the pen body 10, and the two pressure sensors are arranged corresponding to the ends of the two legs 30 located inside the pen body 10. The two legs 30 are arranged on both sides of the scanning window 20. The end of each leg 30 is provided with an arc surface that can smoothly contact the surface of the medium to be scanned. When the legs 30 are pressed on the medium to be scanned, the legs 30 retract inward and abut against the pressure sensor. The controller 70 controls the power module 80 and the camera module 50 to start according to the detection value of the pressure sensor.

[0038] Alternatively, the telescopic scanning head includes two telescopic heads and a crossbar connecting the two telescopic heads, and the pressure sensor is arranged corresponding to the crossbar. When the telescopic scanning head contacts the medium to be scanned under the action of an external force, the telescopic head pushes the crossbar to move into the pen body 10. For example, the telescopic scanning head is in a U shape, and its two ends extend outward from the pen body 10, and the pressure sensor is arranged corresponding to the bottom crossbar of the telescopic scanning head.

[0039] In yet another embodiment, the trigger device 60 includes a distance sensor, which is used to detect the distance between the end of the pen body 10 and the surface of the medium to be scanned, and the controller 70 is electrically connected to the distance sensor.

[0040] The distance sensor is an ultrasonic distance sensor or a laser distance sensor. When the distance information collected by the distance sensor is less than a preset value, it is determined that the scanning end of the pen body 10 is in contact with the surface of the medium to be scanned, thereby controlling the power module 80 and the camera module 50 to be turned on.

[0041] Furthermore, the trigger device 60 also includes a trigger, and the distance sensor is electrically connected to the trigger, and the trigger is used to send a trigger signal when the detection value of the distance sensor reaches a preset value. The trigger can be a control board, which sends a control signal when the detection value of the distance sensor reaches a preset value, and the controller 70 controls the power module 80 to turn on and controls the camera module 50 to start according to the control signal. Alternatively, in order to avoid inaccurate judgment of the state of the dictionary pen based only on the detection value of the distance sensor, the trigger can also be a pressure sensor or a pressure-sensitive element. When the distance sensor detects that the distance between the scanning end of the pen body 10 and the medium to be scanned is less than a preset value, it is further confirmed based on the pressure sensor or the pressure-sensitive element whether the scanning end of the pen body 10 is in contact with the surface of the medium to be scanned. In this way, the dictionary pen is prevented from being started by mistake through double judgment.

[0042] In a specific embodiment, if Figure 6 As shown, the controller 70 includes a circuit board, a main processor 71 and an auxiliary processor 72. The main processor 71 and the auxiliary processor 72 are both arranged on the circuit board. The main processor 71 is electrically connected to the auxiliary processor 72, and the auxiliary processor 72 is electrically connected to the camera module 50. The main processor 71 and the auxiliary processor 72 are two processing chips, both of which are installed on the circuit board, and the circuit board is fastened in the pen body 10 by screws. The power module 80 is installed on one side of the circuit board and is located in the installation space formed by the circuit board and the pen body 10. The main processor 71 and the auxiliary processor 72 have different divisions of labor, wherein the auxiliary processor 72 is connected to the camera module 50 for processing the image information scanned by the camera module 50, and the main processor 71 is connected to the auxiliary processor 72 to obtain the text information extracted by the auxiliary processor 72 for display or upload it to the cloud for translation, etc. The processing efficiency of the dictionary pen is improved by setting the main processor 71 and the auxiliary processor 72.

[0043] In order to conveniently display the scan results and query results, the dictionary pen also includes a display screen 40, which is fixed on the front of the pen body 10. A screen connector is provided on the circuit board, and the connection interface of the display screen 40 is connected to the screen connector. Furthermore, the dictionary pen also includes a speaker, which is used to play the scanned content or the queried content; the display screen 40 is a touch screen, and the volume of the speaker can be adjusted by touch. Figure 2 As shown, the pen body 10 is provided with a sound outlet 12 corresponding to the speaker. Figure 2 As shown, the plurality of sound holes 12 are arranged in three rows, with each row having four or five sound holes 12 .
