At least one clamping block 103 can expand and contract along the width direction of the fixing housing 15. A limiting groove 104 for limiting and fixing the gun body of the scanning gun is opened at the upper end of the fixing housing 15. A positioning plate 102 is arranged at the bottom end of the fixing housing 15. A limiting hole for limiting and fixing the gun head of the scanning gun is opened on the positioning plate 102. The scanning lens of the scanning device is exposed from the limiting hole.
[0049] In actual use, if there is already a scanning device, the scanning device is clamped between two clamping blocks 103. A clamping block 103 is arranged on each side of the fixed housing 15, and at least one clamping block 103 can expand and contract along the width direction of the fixed housing 15.

[0053] In actual use, the addition of the spring 106 enables the two clamping blocks 103 to tightly clamp the scanning device under the action of the spring restoring force, ensuring that the scanning device will not slip or become loose during use. The elastic design of the spring 106 enables the two clamping blocks 103 to be compatible with scanning devices of different sizes and thicknesses, making the desktop vertical scanner bracket more flexible and convenient during use.
[0054] In this embodiment, the bracket includes a first telescopic rod 91.

[0059] Embodiment 2
[0060] As Figures 4 to 8 shown, the present utility model includes a desktop vertical scanning device, including a desktop vertical scanner bracket and a scanner that can be clamped on the desktop vertical scanner bracket. The scanner includes a housing 11 and a scanning module 6 provided in the housing 11, and also includes a power interface 2, a switch button 3, a power conversion module 4, a microcontroller 1, and a relay module 5 that are connected in sequence. The relay module 5 is connected to the scanning module 6, and the switch button 3 is exposed outside the housing 11.
[0061] During actual use, the power interface 2 is connected to the 220V mains supply. When the switch button 3 is pressed, the circuit is connected, and the power conversion module 4 converts the 220V mains supply into the operating voltage of the microcontroller 1 and the operating voltage of the relay module 5. The power conversion module 4 supplies power to the microcontroller 1 and the relay module 5 respectively. After the microcontroller 1 is powered on, it starts to work. The microcontroller 1 sends a control pulse to the relay module 5, and the relay module 5 starts the scanning module 6 to work.

[0068] It should be noted that the power supply voltage of the ESP32-WROOM-32 development board and the power supply voltage of the relay module 5 are both 5V. Therefore, the power conversion module 4 uses a 220 / 5V AC-DC conversion module or an AC 220V to DC 5V resistor-capacitor step-down circuit.
[0069] As Figure 8 shown, the relay module 5 includes a triode Q4, a diode D4, and a relay K3. The base of the triode Q4 is connected to the enable terminal of the microcontroller 1.

The other end of the coil of the relay K3 is grounded. The common contact of the relay K3 is connected to the positive power supply of the scanning module 6. The normally open contact of the relay K3 is connected to the 5V power output terminal. The normally closed contact of the relay K3 is left floating. The negative power supply of the scanning module 6 is grounded.

The scanning lens of the scanning device exposes out of the limiting hole.
[0071] In this embodiment, since there is an existing scanning device, the outer shell 11 is clamped between the two clamping blocks 103. One clamping block 103 is arranged on each side of the fixing housing 15. At least one clamping block 103 can expand and contract along the width direction of the fixing housing 15. The two clamping blocks 103 are used to clamp the outer shell of the scanning device. The scanning lens of the scanning device exposes out of the limiting hole.
