[0033] In the description of the present application, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the quantity of the indicated technical features. Thus, the features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more features.

[0034] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application.

[0035] The embodiments of the present application provide a scanner and a mobile device to solve the problem of poor connection strength between the scanning pen and external devices. The following will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0036] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the embodiments of the present application provide a scanner, including a scanner body 2, a connector 26 and a data connector 32. The connector 26 is arranged on one side of the scanner body 2. The connector 26 is used for positioning and plugging with an external device. The data connector 32 is also arranged on one side of the scanner body 2. The data connector 32 is used for plugging and fixing with the data interface 41 of the external device.

[0037] By setting the data connector 32, the scanner 1 can be directly connected to an external device through the data connector 32; by setting the socket 26, when the data connector 32 is connected to the external device, the socket 26 is also connected to the external device, which can not only improve the connection stability between the scanner 1 and the external device, but also improve the connection strength between the scanner 1 and the external device, solving the problem of poor connection strength between the scanning pen and the external device.

[0038] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the socket 26 includes a first insertion post 261 and a second insertion post 262. The first insertion post 261 is arranged on one side of the data connector 32 in the second direction, and the second insertion post 262 is arranged on the side of the data connector 32 away from the first insertion post 261. The cross-sections of both the first insertion post 261 and the second insertion post 262 are oblong, and the cross-sectional areas gradually increase along the first direction. A chamfer is provided between the end face and the side face of the insertion post, which is beneficial to the connection between the first insertion post 261 and the second insertion post 262 and the external device. The length of the second insertion post 262 is greater than the length of the first insertion post 261, and the cross-sectional length of the first insertion post 261 is greater than the cross-sectional length of the second insertion post 262 at the same length. By differentiating the first insertion post 261 and the second insertion post 262 in terms of length and cross-sectional length, when the user connects the scanning pen to the external device, the first insertion post 261 and the second insertion post 262 can be inserted into the corresponding positions, so that the scanning pen can be correctly installed on the external device.

[0039] Please refer to Figures 2 - 4, the scanner body 2 includes a first housing 21, a second housing 22, a third housing 23 and a scanning bracket 27.

Specifically, a plurality of first claws are integrally formed on one side of the first housing 21 close to the second housing 22, and a first slot engaged with the first claws is formed on the side of the second housing 22 away from the first housing 21. A plurality of second claws are integrally formed on one side of the third housing 23 close to the second housing 22, and a plurality of second slots engaged with the second claws are provided on the second housing 22. The first housing 21 and the second housing 22 jointly enclose a receiving cavity 24, and a wire passing hole is formed on the second housing 22. In addition, the second housing 22 and the first housing 21 are also fixedly connected by bolts. By sequentially passing the bolts through the second housing 22 and the circuit board 31, the second housing 22 and the circuit board 31 can be stably mounted on the first housing 21. The scanning bracket 27 is disposed on the side of the first housing 21 away from the plug-in member 26. One end of the scanning bracket 27 close to the first housing 21 extends into the receiving cavity 24. The scanning bracket 27 is connected to the first housing 21 and the second housing 22 by bolts. By sequentially passing the bolts through the second housing 22, the circuit board 31 and the end of the scanning bracket 27 extending into the receiving cavity 24 and threadedly connecting with the first housing 21, the connection between the scanning bracket 27 and the first housing 21 can be realized.

[0040] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , one end of the first housing 21 in the first direction is provided with an end cover plate 25. A positioning block 212 is integrally formed on the side of the end cover plate 25 opposite to the first direction, and a first positioning groove 211 is formed. A first positioning post 221 engaged with the first positioning groove 211 is integrally formed on the second housing 22, and a second positioning groove 222 engaged with the positioning block 212 is formed. A second positioning post 231 is provided on the side of the third housing 23 close to the second housing 22, and a positioning hole 223 engaged with the second positioning post 231 is formed on the second housing 22.

[0041] It should be noted that the first direction referred to in this embodiment is the length direction of the scanner 1, and the second direction is that of the scanner 1. The first direction and the second direction are perpendicular to each other.

[0042] Please refer to Figure 5, embodiments of the present application further provide a mobile device, which includes the scanner 1 and the device body 4 as described above. A data interface 41 that is plugged and matched with the data connector 32 is provided on the device body 4. In this embodiment, the data connector 32 is a Type-C connector, and the data interface 41 is a Type-C interface. In addition, a first insertion hole 42 that is plugged and matched with the first insertion post 261 and a second insertion hole 43 that is plugged and matched with the second insertion post 262 are further formed on the device body 4.

[0043] By providing the first insertion hole 42 and the second insertion hole 43, the first insertion post 261 can be connected to the first insertion hole 42, and the second insertion post 262 can be connected to the second insertion hole 43, which can not only improve the connection stability between the scanner 1 and the device body 4, but also improve the connection strength between the scanner 1 and the device body 4.
