DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0040] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0041] In the present application, the terms "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "front", "back", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "vertical", "horizontal", "lateral", "longitudinal" and the like indicate positions or positional relationships based on the positions or positional relationships shown in the drawings. These terms are mainly used to better describe the present application and its embodiments, and are not used to limit the indicated devices, elements or components to have a specific orientation, or to be constructed and operated in a specific orientation.

[0042] In addition, some of the above terms may be used to express other meanings in addition to indicating orientation or positional relationship. For example, the term "on" may also be used to express a certain dependency or connection relationship in some cases. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of these terms in this application can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0043] In addition, the terms "installed", "set", "provided with", "connected", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral structure; it can be a mechanical connection, or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or it can be an internal connection between two devices, elements, or components. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0044] In addition, the terms "first", "second", etc. are mainly used to distinguish different devices, elements or components (the specific types and structures may be the same or different), and are not used to indicate or imply the relative importance and quantity of the indicated devices, elements or components. Unless otherwise specified, "plurality" means two or more.

[0045] Most scanning pens used for scanning are simple pen-shaped or straight-bar-shaped, with a relatively simple structure and a long length, resulting in poor portability. In addition, the scanning head of the scanning pen is mostly located at the end, which is easily damaged.

[0046] In order to solve the above problems, some scanning pens adopt a reversible scanning pen design, specifically, a scanning head with a reversing function and a scanning pen body with a storage function. However, in this way, since the scanning head is folded on the back of the body, the thickness of the whole scanning pen increases, and it takes up a large space when carrying it outside. Even if part of the scanning head can be stored in the main body, a display screen needs to be set above the scanning head along the thickness direction of the scanning pen, and the thickness of the scanning pen still cannot be further reduced.

[0047] Based on this, the present application discloses a scanning pen 01, on which a storage slot 103 is provided along the thickness direction of the main body and penetrates to the upper and lower surfaces of the host 10, so that the scanning component 20 can be protected from damage when the scanning component 20 is in the storage state. At the same time, after the scanning component 20 is stored in the storage slot 103, the overall thickness of the scanning pen 01 is not increased, and the scanning pen 01 is more compact and easier to carry in the storage state.

[0048] Please refer to Figures 1 to 11 The embodiment of the present application provides a scanning pen 01, comprising: a main body 10 and a scanning component 20. The main body 10 comprises a first surface 101 and a second surface 102 opposite to each other, the first surface 101 is provided with a display screen 105, the main body 10 is further provided with a storage slot 103, the storage slot 103 penetrates the first surface 101 and the second surface 102; the scanning component 20, the scanning component 20 is movably connected to the main body 10, and the scanning component 20 can move relative to the main body 10, so that the scanning component 20 has an unfolded state and a retracted state; in the retracted state, the scanning component 20 is at least partially retracted in the retracted slot 103; in the unfolded state, the scanning component 20 extends relative to the main body 10, so that the scanning component 20 can perform scanning.

[0049] In this embodiment, the host 10 as a whole can be roughly rectangular in structure, and the host 10 can be considered to have a length direction, a width direction, and a thickness direction. For example, the direction where the long side is located can be the length direction of the host 10, and the direction where the short side is located can be the width direction of the host 10. For the convenience of explanation in the following embodiments, the X direction is used as the length direction of the host 10 (or the scanning pen 01), the Y direction is used as the width direction of the host 10 (or the scanning pen 01), and the Z direction is used as the thickness direction of the host 10 (or the scanning pen 01). Of course, the host 10 can also be set to other shapes. The embodiment of the present application does not impose any special restrictions on the specific appearance of the host 10.

[0050] like Figure 2 As shown, along the thickness direction of the host 10, the host 10 includes a first surface 101 and a second surface 102 opposite to each other, and the storage slot 103 of the host 10 penetrates the first surface 101 and the second surface 102, that is, the storage slot 103 penetrates the host 10 along the thickness direction. The scanning component 20 is movably connected to the host 10 through a movable component, and the scanning component 20 can move relative to the host 10 to switch between a scanning state and a storage state.

[0051] like Figure 3As shown, in the storage state, at least part of the scanning component 20 can be stored in the storage slot 103, that is, the scanning component 20 can be partially or completely accommodated in the storage slot 103. In particular, when the scanning component 20 is completely stored in the storage slot 103, the scanning component 20 does not protrude from the first surface 101 and the second surface 102 of the host 10, that is, the surface of the scanning component 20 along the thickness direction of the scanning pen 01 can be lower than the first surface 101 and / or the second surface 102, or the surface of the scanning component 20 along the thickness direction of the scanning pen 01 can be flush with the first surface 101 and / or the second surface 102 of the host 10, so that not only does not increase the thickness of the scanning pen 01, but also the scanning pen 01 can be further miniaturized and thinned, and the scanning component 20 in the storage state can be flush with the first surface 101 and / or the second surface 102 of the host 10, so as to keep the shape of the scanning pen 01 regular, so that the scanning pen 01 has a more beautiful shape. Similarly, the surface of the scanning component 20 in the unfolded state can also be flush with the first surface 101 and / or the second surface 102. In addition, when the scanning component 20 is in the stored state, the host 10 can also protect the scanning component 20 through the storage slot 103 to prevent the scanning component 20 from being damaged by bumps, thereby increasing the service life of the scanning pen 01.

[0052] Alternatively, if Figure 4 As shown, the thickness of the scanning component 20 is equal to or less than the thickness of the host 10, so that in the storage state, the scanning component 20 does not protrude from the first surface 101 and the second surface 102 of the host 10, making the scanning pen 01 thinner and more overall styling.

[0053] When the scanning component 20 is in the storage state, the angle between the scanning component 20 and the host 10 can be close to 0°. The user can watch the content displayed on the display screen 105, that is, when the scanning component 20 is in the non-scanning function, the scanning pen 01 can be used to play the first content, which can be a learning video, a game, etc.

[0054] When the user has a scanning requirement, the scanning component 20 can be switched to Figure 1 In the unfolded state shown, the scanning component 20 extends out of the storage slot 103 and is at least partially exposed to the host 10, so that the scanning component 20 can scan the scanned surface (such as paper, written material). In the unfolded state, the angle between the scanning component 20 and the host 10 is close to 180°, and the display screen 105 of the unfolded scanning pen 01 can display a second content, which can be information associated with the target content scanned by the scanning component 20, such as a text translation of a word, a video explaining a sentence, etc.

[0055] When the user uses the scanning pen 01 to scan, Figure 5As shown, the host 10 can be held, and then the scanning component 20 is brought close to and aimed at the scanned surface, and then the host 10 is dragged to drive the scanning component 20 to slide on the scanned surface, so that the scanning component 20 continuously collects information on the scanned surface.

[0056] It can be understood that the host 10 usually has a certain length. Considering the comfort of holding the scanning pen 01, the user can hold the host 10 around the length direction of the host 10. Since a large-sized display screen 105 is provided on the first surface 101 of the host 10 to enhance the user's experience in viewing the displayed content, when the user holds the host 10, Figure 5 As shown, the holding part can be on the side wall of the host 10 along the length direction, so that the user can avoid blocking the display screen 105 when holding the host 10, and the content displayed on the display screen 105 can be fully displayed.

[0057] It is worth noting that in order to provide users with a better viewing experience, the size of the host 10 can be larger than the scanning component 20, that is, the length and width of the host 10 can be larger than the scanning component 20. The scanning component 20 can be provided with scanning elements and other necessary structural parts for scanning. Other electronic components of the scanning pen 01, such as batteries, can be provided in the host 10 to reduce the volume of the scanning component 20 as much as possible while realizing the scanning function of the scanning component 20. In this way, the volume of the storage slot 103 for accommodating the scanning component 20 can be reduced, so that a larger display screen 105 can be provided on the first surface 101 of the host 10 to ensure the screen-to-body ratio of the scanning pen 01, making the scanning pen 01 more compact and improving the user's visual experience. Optionally, the display screen 105 of the scanning pen 01 can be expanded to a four-inch screen.

[0058] Thus, the scanning pen 01 provided in the embodiment of the present application is provided with a storage slot 103 penetrating along the thickness direction of the main body 10 on the main body 10, and the scanning component 20 can be movably stored in the storage slot 103 to prevent the scanning component 20 from being damaged by external force impact. At the same time, the scanning component 20 will not increase the thickness of the scanning pen 01 in the storage state, so that the scanning pen 01 can be further lightened, thinned and miniaturized.

[0059] In order to facilitate the user to hold the host 10 for scanning, in some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 6As shown, the display screen 105 and the storage slot 103 are arranged on the host 10 along the length direction of the host 10. On the one hand, such a layout can make the host 10 have a certain length, and when the user holds the host 10 along the length direction of the host 10, they can get a more stable grip, and the scanning pen 01 is not easy to get loose. On the other hand, the storage slot 103 is arranged at one end of the display screen 105 along the length direction, so that the storage slot 103 can avoid occupying additional space in the width direction of the host 10 to control the width of the host 10, and the host 10 will not be inconvenient for the user to hold due to the excessive width.

[0060] The storage slot 103 is arranged at one end of the display screen 105 along the length direction, so that the size ratio of the display screen 105 can be optimized, and the surface of the display screen 105 can be rectangular. Optionally, the length of the display screen 105 is 9 cm to 12 cm, and the width of the display screen 105 is 4 cm to 6 cm. The display screen 105 is equivalent to having an aspect ratio of 16:9 or 2:1, so that the picture displayed on the display screen 105 will not be stretched or compressed, and the picture is more realistic and clear. At the same time, the width of the display screen 105 is in a moderate size range, which also improves the comfort of the user's scanning pen 01.

[0061] In order to enable the scanning component 20 to move relative to the host 10 so as to switch between the stored state and the deployed state, in some possible embodiments, the scanning component 20 is rotatably connected to the host 10 via a rotating component (not shown), and the scanning component 20 can be flipped relative to the host 10 so as to switch between the stored state and the deployed state relative to the host 10.

[0062] In this embodiment, the movable component is a rotating component, and the scanning component 20 is rotatably connected to the host 10 through the rotating component, and can be flipped relative to the host 10. The rotating component can be partially arranged on the host 10, and the scanning component 20 rotates relative to the host 10 through the rotating component. The rotating component may include a rotating shaft and a rotating shaft hole, one of which is arranged on the host 10, and the other of which is arranged on the scanning component 20. For example, the host 10 is provided with a rotating shaft hole, and the scanning component 20 is provided with a rotating shaft, which is inserted into the rotating shaft hole to realize the rotation connection between the scanning component 20 and the host 10. The rotating component adopts a method of matching the rotating shaft hole and the rotating shaft, so that the rotation connection method between the scanning component 20 and the host 10 is simpler, which is conducive to simplifying the structural design of the scanning pen 01.

[0063] like Figure 6As shown, when the scanning component 20 is connected to the host 10 via the rotating component, the scanning component 20 can include a bracket state between the storage state and the expanded state in addition to the two use states of the storage state and the expanded state, that is, the scanning component 20 can also be rotated relative to the host 10 to any angle between the storage state and the expanded state, such as 30°, 45°, 60°, 90°, etc. At this time, when the scanning pen 01 is placed on the desktop, the scanning component 20 can support the host 10, making it convenient for users to watch videos. The embodiment of the present application does not impose any special restrictions on the specific angle of the expansion of the scanning pen 01. In addition, Figure 6 and Figure 7 The scanning assembly 20 in the figure is switching from the storage state to the unfolded state, and the arrow in the figure shows the rotation direction of the scanning assembly 20.

[0064] In order to achieve electrical connection between the host 10 and the scanning component 20, the rotating shaft in the rotating component can have a cavity structure for passing a connecting wire. The connecting wire connects the scanning element (for example, the camera module) in the scanning component 20 to the main board and the battery in the host 10, so as to realize the transmission of electrical energy and electrical signals between the host 10 and the scanning component 20.

[0065] Furthermore, if Figure 6 As shown, the receiving slot 103 also passes through the end of the main body 10 , and the rotating assembly is at least partially disposed at the end of the main body 10 .

[0066] Along the length direction of the host 10, the storage slot 103 extends to the end of the host 10, a part of the rotating assembly is located in the storage slot 103 and is arranged at the end of the host 10, and the scanning assembly 20 can rotate to a required angle relative to the host 10, and there is no structural interference when the scanning assembly 20 rotates. Exemplarily, the storage slot 103 extends to the end of the length direction of the host 10, and the scanning assembly 20 can rotate 180° from the storage state to the unfolded state.

[0067] In order to enable the scanning component 20 to move relative to the host 10 so as to switch between the stored state and the deployed state, in other embodiments, the scanning component is connected to the host 10 via a sliding structure or a pop-up structure so as to switch between the stored state and the deployed state relative to the host (not shown).

[0068] In this embodiment, the rotating component may also be a movable structure such as a sliding or pop-up structure.

[0069] In order to further improve the comfort of the user holding the host 10 and take into account the shape of the scanning pen 01. Figure 3As shown, in some embodiments, the scanning component 20 includes a mounting end rotatably connected to the host 10 and a scanning end opposite to the mounting end; the peripheral side wall of the host 10 includes a first smooth curved surface 104, and the connecting end of the scanning component 20 includes a second smooth curved surface 201. In the storage state, the first smooth curved surface 104 and the second smooth curved surface 201 have a smooth transition.

[0070] Optionally, refer to Figure 3 and Fig.10 The peripheral side wall of the host 10 includes a first smooth curved surface 104, and the first smooth curved surface 104 is arranged along the circumference of the host 10. When the user holds the side wall of the host 10, the first smooth curved surface 104 can enable the user to obtain a better gripping feeling.

[0071] Specifically, the first surface 101 and the second surface 102 of the host 10 are planes, and the peripheral side walls of the host 10 are respectively connected to the first surface 101 and the second surface 102 in a smooth transition connection.

[0072] Optionally, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The area of ​​the second surface 102 is slightly smaller than that of the first surface 101. The curvature of the smooth curved surface formed by the peripheral side wall of the host 10 and the second surface 102 is larger than the curvature of the smooth curved surface formed by the peripheral side wall and the first surface 101. Therefore, the curvature of the first smooth curved surface 104 close to the second surface 102 is greater than the curvature of the first smooth curved surface 104 close to the first surface 101. The scanning pen 01 has a more rounded appearance. When holding the scanning pen 01, the user's fingers located on the second surface are more closely attached to the peripheral side wall of the host 10, thereby further improving the grip.

[0073] The scanning component 20 includes a scanning end and a connecting end. As described above, the rotating component that is rotatably connected to the host 10 is arranged at the end of the host 10, and the connecting end of the scanning component 20 is located at the end of the host 10 along the length direction. The connecting end of the scanning component 20 includes a second smooth curved surface 201. The second smooth curved surface 201 and the first smooth curved surface 104 can be curved surfaces with the same curvature. In this way, when the scanning component 20 is stored in the host 10, the connection between the scanning component 20 and the host 10 has a smooth transition, so that the scanning pen 01 has a smoother shape.

[0074] In some embodiments, Figure 3 and Figure 7 As shown, the scanning component 20 may further include an abutment component 203. When the user operates the scanning pen 01 to slide and scan on the scanned surface, the abutment component 203 may be supported between the scanning pen 01 and the scanned surface, thereby reducing the friction when sliding the scanning pen 01, making the sliding of the scanning pen 01 smoother and improving the user experience of the scanning pen 01.

[0075] Furthermore, if Figure 2 and Figure 7 As shown, the abutment component 203 protrudes from the first mounting surface 202 of the scanning component 20. The first mounting surface 202 is tilted between the upper surface and the lower surface of the scanning component 20 in the thickness direction. The first mounting surface 202 is tilted so that the thickness of the scanning component 20 decreases from the connection end to the scanning end. It can be understood that when the scanning component 20 is in the unfolded state, the tilted first mounting surface 202 forms an angle with the length direction of the host 10, that is, the holding direction. This angle makes the user hold the scanning pen 01 for scanning. Figure 8 As shown, the scanning pen 01 forms a holding tilt angle α with the scanned surface to improve the comfort of the user when holding the scanning pen 01.

[0076] Optionally, the angle between the first mounting surface 202 and the length direction of the host 10 can be 30° to 80°, for example: 30°, 35°, 45°, 55°, 75° and 80°, etc., so that the holding tilt angle α of the scanning pen 01 can be between 30° and 80°, effectively improving the user's comfort when holding the scanning pen 01.

[0077] Furthermore, if Figure 3 and Figure 7 As shown, when the scanning component 20 is in the storage state, the first mounting surface 202 is inclined relative to the first surface 101 and the second surface 102 of the host 10, and the thickness of the scanning end of the scanning component 20 gradually decreases. In this way, a space 207 is formed between the inclined first mounting surface 202 and the wall of the storage slot 103 to avoid air, and the space 207 is used to move the scanning component 20.

[0078] When the user has a scanning requirement, the user can insert a finger into the moving space 207 and apply force to the scanning component 20 to move the scanning component 20 along the moving space 207. Figure 6 and Figure 7 The rotation direction shown is to rotate to switch the scanning assembly 20 to the deployed state.

[0079] In one possible solution, a button suitable for pressing may be provided on the groove wall of the storage groove 103 located in the dialing space 207. When the user needs to use the scanning function, the user can insert a finger into the dialing space 207 and press the button to release the locking limit of the scanning component 20 by the locking mechanism that may be provided on the host 10.

[0080] Since the first mounting surface 202 is tilted, when the scanning component 20 is in the storage state, the first mounting surface 202 faces the side wall of the storage groove 103, and the abutment component 203 protruding from the first mounting surface 202 also faces the side wall of the storage groove 103, so as to prevent the abutment component 203 from being exposed to the first surface 101 and the second surface 102 of the host 10 and being damaged by being hit by the forehead.

[0081] In some embodiments, Fig. 9 As shown, the abutment assembly 203 includes a first abutment member 203a and a second abutment member 203b, which can move relative to the first mounting surface 202 and protrude from the first mounting surface 202 to abut against the scanned surface to prevent the surface of the scanning assembly 20 from being worn during the scanning process. Optionally, the first abutment member 203a and the second abutment member 203b can be rollers or balls to reduce the friction when the user drags the scanning pen 01 to slide.

[0082] Specifically, the scanning assembly 20 includes a mounting cavity and a mounting bracket (not shown) located in the mounting cavity. Fig. 9 As shown, two through openings 204 are formed on the first mounting surface 202, and the first abutment member 203a and the second abutment member 203b are mounted on the mounting bracket, and the mounting bracket provides structural support for the first abutment member 203a and the second abutment member 203b. At least part of the first abutment member 203a and the second abutment member 203b extends out from the through opening 204. The mounting bracket can be a split structure, that is, the mounting bracket can include a first frame body and a second frame body, the first frame body is used to support the first abutment member 203a, and the second frame body is used to support the second abutment member 203b.

[0083] In order to make the contact between the abutment assembly 203 and the scanned plane closer when the user is scanning, in some embodiments, one end of the mounting bracket away from the first abutment member 203a and the second abutment member 203b is abutted to a fixing member fixedly arranged in the mounting cavity via an elastic member, and the fixing member provides structural support for the mounting bracket. When the first abutment member 203a and / or the second abutment member 203b abut against the scanned surface, a part of the first abutment member 203a and / or the second abutment member 203b is further pressed into the mounting member, and the first abutment member 203a and / or the second abutment member 203b can drive the mounting bracket to move toward the mounting cavity, thereby compressing the elastic member. When the first abutment member 203a and / or the second abutment member 203b do not abut against the scanned surface, the elastic member can release the elastic force and drive the mounting bracket to move, and the mounting bracket drives the first abutment member 203a and / or the second abutment member 203b to reset. By arranging the elastic member on the mounting bracket, the first abutting member 203a and / or the second abutting member 203b can be in closer and more stable contact with the scanned surface, making the scanning more accurate.

[0084] Optionally, when the mounting bracket is a split structure, the elastic member may include a first elastic member and a second elastic member, that is, the first frame body abuts against the fixing member through the first elastic member, and the second frame body abuts against the fixing member through the second elastic member. In this way, when the scanning pen 01 slides on an uneven scanned surface, the first abutment member 203a and the second abutment member 203b may have different floating amounts, and the compression amounts of the first elastic member and the second elastic member are also different. Even when the scanning pen 01 scans an uneven scanned surface, the abutment component 203 can maintain a tight and stable abutment with the scanned surface.

[0085] In some embodiments, Fig.11 As shown, the scanning assembly 20 further includes an avoidance groove 205, which penetrates the scanning assembly 20 along the thickness direction of the scanning assembly 20 and removes a portion of the first mounting surface 202. A transparent observation window 206 may be provided in the avoidance groove 205, and the transparent observation window 206 may be made of a transparent material, so that it can be used to observe the scanned surface, so that the user can more accurately operate the scanning pen 01 to scan the target content from the scanned surface in a targeted manner.

[0086] When the scanning assembly 20 is in the unfolded state, the transparent observation window 206 is oriented in the same direction as the display screen 105 of the host 10. Thus, when the user observes the scanned surface through the transparent observation window 206, the target content can be accurately aligned, and the second content associated with the target content can be immediately displayed on the display screen 105, so that the user can quickly and conveniently understand the information associated with the target content.

[0087] Furthermore, if Fig. 9 As shown, the first abutment 203a and the second abutment 203b will form a moving path when sliding on the scanned surface. The first abutment 203a and the second abutment 203b are respectively located on both sides of the avoidance groove 205, so that the transparent observation window 206 is always located within the moving path, thereby facilitating the user to more accurately obtain the target content by sliding the scanning pen 01.

[0088] In some embodiments, a scanning element (not shown) may be provided in the scanning assembly 20, and the scanning element is used to implement the scanning function of the scanning assembly 20. In actual settings, a scanning window (not shown) is provided on the scanning assembly 20 for aligning the target content on the surface to be scanned, and the scanning element may be arranged corresponding to the scanning window, so that the surface to be scanned can be aligned through the scanning window.

[0089] When the scanning assembly 20 is in the storage state relative to the host 10, the scanning window faces the side wall of the storage slot 103, so that when the scanning function is not used, the scanning window is not exposed to the host 10, reducing the situation of contamination of the scanning window by pollutants, and keeping the scanning window as clean as possible. At the same time, it can also prevent the scanning window from being damaged.

[0090] When the scanning component 20 is in an unfolded state relative to the host 10, the scanning window is exposed to the host 10 and away from the display screen 105 of the first surface 101 of the host 10. While scanning, the user can synchronously watch the second content displayed on the display screen 105 and associated with the target content acquired by the scan.

[0091] In addition, the scanning element in the scanning assembly 20 can be automatically closed. When the scanning assembly 20 is stored relative to the host 10, the scanning element can be automatically closed. When the scanning assembly 20 is stored relative to the host 10, the scanning window is located in the storage slot 103 of the host 10 and is blocked by the slot wall of the storage slot 103. At this time, the scanning element cannot be aligned with the object to be scanned. Therefore, the scanning element can be automatically closed without the user manually closing it, which effectively improves the user's convenience and user experience.

[0092] Furthermore, the avoidance groove 205 has a groove bottom wall along the thickness direction of the scanning pen, and the scanning window is formed on the groove bottom wall of the avoidance groove 205, and the scanning window is tilted relative to the thickness direction of the scanning component 20. The tilted scanning window helps to expand the visual range of the scanning pen 01, so that the scanning element can capture more details and a wider area. At the same time, the tilted scanning window can reduce the reflection and shadow generated by the light during the scanning process, thereby improving the scanning accuracy of the scanning pen 01.

[0093] In some embodiments, a locking mechanism (not shown) and a reset mechanism (not shown) may also be provided on the host 10; in the stored state, the locking mechanism stores the scanning component 20 in the host 10, and the scanning component 20 compresses the reset mechanism (such as a spring); when the scanning component 20 switches from the stored state to the deployed state, the reset mechanism releases the elasticity and pushes the scanning component 20 to rotate relative to the host 10, thereby facilitating the scanning component 20 to reach the deployed position in the deployed state.

[0094] In this embodiment, the locking mechanism fixes the scanning assembly 20 to the storage slot 103 of the host 10 to prevent the scanning assembly 20 from rotating relative to the host 10 in the non-scanning state; when the lock is released, the reset mechanism can drive the scanning assembly 20 to rotate relative to the host 10 and more easily reach the unfolded position. Optionally, the locking mechanism and the reset mechanism can also be the same component, which can have both locking and reset functions.

[0095] Specifically, the locking mechanism is a locking method in this field or related fields, such as a button, a knob, etc. As long as the unfolding and folding process can be reflected, it is within the protection scope of this application. The reset mechanism is an elastic member, such as a spring or a torsion spring, etc., and this application will not be further described.

[0096] In some embodiments, a retaining structure may be further provided on the host 10, and the retaining structure can keep the scanning component 20 fixed when in the unfolded state.

[0097] In this embodiment, in the unfolded state, the retaining structure can enable the scanning component 20 to remain fixed after moving to the unfolded position, ensuring that the scanning component 20 remains stable when the user holds the host 10 for scanning, and preventing the scanning component 20 from rotating relative to the host 10 during the scanning process, resulting in the scanning being unable to be completed accurately, thereby affecting the user's experience.

[0098] Exemplarily, the retaining structure may include but is not limited to a magnetic attraction structure, a damping structure, and the like.

[0099] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, rather than to limit it. Although the present application 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 or all of the technical features therein with equivalents. However, these modifications or replacements do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application.
