Description

Technical Field

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

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

[0003] In the existing scanning pen, when the scanning head provided at one end of the housing 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

[0004] To overcome the problems existing in the related art, this application aims to provide a scanning pen with a rotatable camera, which is provided with a camera, and the camera can obtain an image in a shooting manner and input it into the scanning pen.

[0005] This application is implemented through the following technical solutions.

[0006] This technical solution provides a scanning pen with a rotatable camera, including a housing and a circuit board, a scanning head, a speaker, and a display screen provided inside the housing.

The rotating seat is provided with an opening, and the line of sight direction of the imaging module corresponds to the opening. The imaging module is electrically connected to the circuit board through a wire.

[0011] In one or more embodiments, the inner surface of the concave cavity is provided with a protruding portion, and the outer surface of the rotating seat is provided with an annular groove. The protruding portion is fitted into the annular groove to define the axial position of the rotating seat.

[0012] In one or more embodiments, the concave cavity is provided with a first limiting portion and a second limiting portion, and the rotating seat is provided with a limiting block. The limiting block abuts against the first limiting portion to define the position of the first state, and the limiting block abuts against the second limiting portion to define the position of the second state.
