Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the technical field of scanning pens and relates to a scanning pen with a flip - up camera. Background Art

[0002] A scanning pen is an intelligent reading and learning tool developed based on optical image recognition technology and digital voice technology. The scanning pen scans fonts into the pen through scanning technology and uses the OCR inside to recognize the text for display. It can also implement a translation function through the built - in translation software inside and play the text out in voice.

[0003] In the existing scanning pen, when the scanning head arranged at one end of the shell slides across the paper surface, the scanning head scans the fonts to achieve input. Since the scanning head has to slide close to the paper surface to input, the visible range of the scanning head is very small. For some cases where the fonts are very large and places where it is not convenient to slide, scanning input cannot be performed. Utility Model Content

A display screen 15 is provided on the housing 11. The display screen 15, the scanning head 13, and the speaker 14 are all electrically connected to the circuit board 12. The display screen 15 is used to display text content, and the speaker 14 is used to synchronously play the audio corresponding to the content of the display screen 15, thus realizing the common functions of the scanning pen.

[0031] In this embodiment, a receiving groove 111 is provided on the back of the housing 11. One side of the receiving groove 111 extends through to the side of the housing 11. A camera 16 that rotates and flips on the housing 11 is provided in the receiving groove 111. The camera 16 is electrically connected to the circuit board 12. The camera 16 includes a first state accommodated in the receiving groove 111 and a second state located on the side of the housing 11. In the first state, the line - of - sight direction of the camera 16 faces the back direction of the housing 11, and in the second state, the line - of - sight direction of the camera 16 faces the front direction of the housing 11.

[0032] In this embodiment, by setting the camera 16 to input captured images, the receiving groove 111 on the housing 11 facilitates the storage of the camera 16. The camera 16 can rotate and flip. In the first state, it is stored in the receiving groove 111 for shooting, and in the second state, it flips to the side of the housing 11 for shooting. Of course, the camera 16 can also have other states. For example, when rotated to 90 degrees from the first state, the camera 16 can also have a supporting function, making the scanning pen stand obliquely on the desktop.

[0033] In this embodiment, the maximum flip angle of the camera 16 when rotating on the housing 11 is 180 degrees, and the rotation axis of the camera 16 is parallel to the length direction of the housing 11.

[0034] In this embodiment, the camera 16 includes a rotating seat 162 and an imaging module 161 disposed inside the rotating seat 162. A limiting structure for fixing during storage is provided between the rotating seat 162 and the side wall of the receiving groove 111. An opening 1621 is provided on the rotating seat 162. The lens of the imaging module 161 corresponds to the opening 1621. The imaging module 161 shoots through the opening 1621. The imaging module 161 is electrically connected to the circuit board 12 through a wire 163. The imaging module 161 is a commonly used component in the art. The image captured by the imaging module 161 is sent to the circuit board 12. A processor is integrated on the circuit board 12, which can process the image, identify the text in the image, and output and display it on the display screen 15.

[0035] In this embodiment, the housing 11 includes a rear shell 11b and a fixing base 11c. One end of the rotating seat 162 is provided with a shaft portion 1622, and the fixing base 11c is connected to the rear shell 11b to limit the shaft portion 1622. The rotating seat 162 can rotate on the housing 11 around its shaft portion 1622. One end of the shaft portion 1622 is hollow, through which the wire 163 of the camera module 161 can pass.

[0036] Specifically, the shaft portion 1622 is press-fitted between the rear shell 11b and the fixing base 11c with an interference fit. The outer side surface of the shaft portion 1622 is provided with a plurality of spaced-apart protrusions 1623, and the protrusions 1623 abut against the rear shell 11b and the fixing base 11c. By providing the protrusions 1623, the contact area of the shaft portion 1622 is reduced, and the rotating seat 162 can still be conveniently rotated under the condition of interference fit.

[0037] In this embodiment, the housing 11 includes a rear shell 11b and a front cover 11a assembled with each other. A cavity is formed between the rear shell 11b and the front cover 11a. Components such as a circuit board 12, a speaker 14, a battery 18, and a scanning head 13 are installed in the cavity. The display screen 15 is provided on the front cover 11a. One end of the housing 11 is provided with a reading port 112, and the scanning head 13 is provided inside the reading port 112. An illuminating lamp 19 is also provided inside the reading port 112, and the illuminating lamp 19 is electrically connected to the circuit board 12.

[0038] In this embodiment, a movable support frame 17 is further provided at one end of the housing 11 located at the reading port 112. The support frame 17 is elastically connected to the housing 11 through a spring 20. A limiting plate 113 installed on the housing 11 limits the support frame 17 to move on the housing 11. The support frame 17 moves along the length direction of the housing 11. A switch component 121 is provided on the circuit board 12, and the switch component 121 is used to control the on-off of the circuits of the scanning head 13 and the illuminating lamp 19. For example, the switch component 121 can be a micro switch. One end of the support frame 17 is linked with the switch component 121, and the other end is exposed outside the housing 11.

[0039] When the support frame 17 is pressed and moves into the housing 11, the switch component 121 is triggered to turn on, so that the circuit of the scanning head 13 is connected to perform scanning input, and at the same time the illuminating lamp 19 is also lit. After the pressing disappears, the support frame 17 resets under the action of the spring, and at the same time the switch component 121 disconnects.

[0040] In this embodiment, a card slot module 122 for inserting a memory card is further provided on the circuit board 12, and an opening corresponding to the card slot module 122 is provided on the side surface of the housing 11.

[0041] The embodiments of the present application have been described above. The above description is exemplary, not exhaustive, and is not limited to the disclosed embodiments. Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art without departing from the scope and spirit of the described embodiments. The choice of terms used herein is intended to best explain the principles of the embodiments, the practical application, or the improvement of technologies in the market, or to enable other ordinary skill in the art to understand the embodiments disclosed herein.
