[0031] In the embodiments shown in the drawings, directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, and back, etc.) are not absolute but relative when describing the structure and movement of each component, and are not used to limit the direction of the product in actual use.

[0032] In addition, in the description of this application, ordinal numbers, such as "first", "second", etc., are only used to distinguish and describe related objects, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying the relative importance or order between related objects.

[0033] According to the specific embodiments provided in this application, Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a code scanning device includes a scanning terminal 100, a light guide 200, a light source 300 and a light shielding member 400. The scanning terminal 100 is provided with a code scanning window 110; the light guide 200 is arranged outside the side wall of the scanning terminal 100; the light source 300 is arranged on the side of the light guide 200 away from the code scanning window 110, and the light source 300 corresponds to the light guide 200; the light shielding member 400 is arranged on the side of the scanning terminal 100 where the code scanning window 110 is provided, and the light shielding member 400 is provided with a light-transmitting hole 401 that passes through the light shielding member 400, and the light-transmitting hole 401 corresponds to the code scanning window 110.

[0034] Specifically, the scanning terminal 100 refers to a device that can be used to scan a variety of code systems such as two-dimensional codes, barcodes, and one-dimensional codes. The scanning terminal 100 is provided with a scanning window 110, and the scanning and identification of various codes are realized through the scanning window 110. The scanning terminal 100 can be directly installed on the scanning device as a module. The scanning device of this embodiment does not need to change the structure of the scanning terminal 100. It is not only simple in structure, but also easy and quick to assemble. The light guide 200 is arranged outside the scanning terminal 100. The light guide 200 is an annular structure formed by connecting the side panels end to end. The scanning terminal 100 is arranged in the annular structure formed by the light guide 200. This embodiment does not limit the specific shape of the light guide 200. The shape of the light guide 200 can be set according to the project requirements. For example, the cross-sectional shape of the light guide 200 can be rectangular, elliptical, circular, waist-shaped, etc. The light guide 200 is made of a transparent material with good light-guiding properties, such as acrylic (PMMA), polystyrene (PS), polycarbonate (PC), acrylic-styrene copolymer (MS), etc. The light source 300 is arranged on the side of the light guide 200 away from the code scanning window 110. The light source 300 corresponds to the side panel of the light guide 200. When the light source 300 emits light, the light guide 200 can efficiently transmit light for light guidance. The light guide 200 itself is also light-transmissive, making the light guide 200 illuminate. As a result, the entire code scanning device can illuminate when the code is not being scanned, so that the user can clearly see the location of the code scanning device when not entering the code scanning interface in a dark environment, and then it is convenient for the user to accurately align the QR code or barcode for scanning. It not only serves as a prompt and alignment function, but also has a certain fill light function.

[0035] The scanning terminal 100 is also provided with a light shield 400. The light shield 400 is arranged on the side of the scanning terminal 100 where the code scanning window 110 is provided. The light shield 400 is provided with a light transmission hole 401 at the position corresponding to the code scanning window 110. The light transmission hole 401 is provided to enable the code scanning window 110 to scan the code normally. The light shield 400 is provided in other areas of the scanning terminal 100 located at the code scanning window 110 to prevent light from the light guide 200 from passing through the code scanning window 110 and affecting data collection by the code scanning window 110. In this embodiment, the size of the light transmission hole 401 can be set according to actual needs; however, it is necessary to ensure that the code scanning window 110 can scan the code normally, while also preventing light from the light guide 200 from passing through the code scanning window 110 and affecting normal code scanning.

[0036] It should be noted that in some embodiments, the code scanning and fill light on the scanning terminal 100 are integrated into one window. In this case, the scanning terminal 100 is provided with only one code scanning window 110, and the light shielding member 400 only needs to be provided with one light-transmitting hole 401 corresponding to the code scanning window 110. However, in other embodiments, the code scanning and fill light on the scanning terminal 100 are provided in different windows. In this case, the scanning terminal 100 is provided with not only the code scanning window 110 but also one or more fill light windows. In this case, the light shielding member 400 needs to be provided with light-transmitting holes 401 corresponding to the code scanning window 110 and light-transmitting holes 401 corresponding to the fill light windows. Of course, the light-transmitting holes 401 corresponding to the code scanning window 110 and the light-transmitting holes 401 corresponding to the fill light windows may not be connected, or they may be connected to form one light-transmitting hole 401. For example, the scanning terminal 100 is provided with three scanning windows, namely, a first scanning window, a second scanning window, and a third scanning window. The light shielding member 400 is provided with two light-transmitting holes, namely, a first light-transmitting hole and a second light-transmitting hole. The first light-transmitting hole corresponds to the first scanning window, and the second light-transmitting hole corresponds to the second scanning window and the third scanning window. Of course, the number of scanning windows 110 and the number of light-transmitting holes 401 described above are merely examples and do not constitute a limitation on the specific number and specific arrangement of the scanning windows 110 and light-transmitting holes 401 in this embodiment.

[0037] In some embodiments, as Figure 1As shown, the code scanning device also includes a lens 500. The lens 500 is covered on the light guide 200 and is located on the side of the light guide 200 away from the light source 300. That is, the lens 500 is covered on the side of the scanning terminal 100 provided with the code scanning window 110. The lens 500 is connected to the light guide 200. The light guide 200 can form a shell located on the outer side of the scanning terminal 100, and the lens 500 can form a shell located on the top surface of the scanning terminal 100. The lens 500 can protect the imaging element of the scanning terminal 100 to prevent dust, moisture or other external factors from damaging the imaging element of the scanning terminal 100. The lens 500 can be made of a light-transmitting material to achieve the light-transmitting function, so that the scanning terminal 100 can perform normal code scanning.

[0038] In one example, the back of the lens 500 is not provided with any light-shielding material, and the lens 500 does not include a non-light-transmitting area. The entire lens can transmit light to complete normal code scanning. When the light source is working, the light guided by the light guide 200 shines on the lens 500, making the lens 500 illuminate. In another example, Figure 3 As shown, the lens 500 includes a light-transmitting area 510, a non-light-transmitting area 520, and a light-emitting area 530. The light-transmitting area 510 corresponds to the code scanning window to complete normal code scanning. The light-emitting area 530 corresponds to the light guide. The non-light-transmitting area 520 is set between the light-transmitting area 510 and the light-emitting area 530. When the light source 300 is working, the light emitted by the light guide 200 can be evenly emitted in the light-emitting area 530, and the non-light-transmitting area 520 will not transmit light or emit light. The non-light-transmitting area 520 can be achieved by providing a light-shielding material on the back of the lens 500. For example, the non-light-transmitting area 520 is formed by silk-screening the light-shielding material in the area between the light-transmitting area 510 and the light-emitting area 530 on the back of the lens 500. The outer ring shape of the luminous area 530 can be limited by the outer shape of the lens 500, and the inner ring shape of the luminous area 530 can be limited by the outer ring shape of the non-light-transmitting area 520. By changing the outer shape of the lens 500 and setting non-light-transmitting areas 520 of different shapes on the lens 500, luminous areas 530 of different shapes can be formed on the lens 500. For example, the luminous area 530 can be elliptical, rectangular, circular, etc. to meet different luminous shape requirements.

[0039] In some embodiments, as Figure 1As shown, the shading member 400 includes a shading portion 410, which is disposed on the side of the scanning terminal 100 provided with the code scanning window 110. The light-transmitting hole 401 is disposed on the shading portion 410. The shading portion 410 can be a plate-like structure, directly mounted on the scanning terminal 100 to provide light shielding for the scanning terminal 100. The shading portion 410 can be made of ABS plastic, polycarbonate (PC), polypropylene (PP), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), silicone, metal, composite materials (such as carbon fiber reinforced plastic), soft materials (such as sponge or foam), and other materials with light-shielding properties.

[0040] In order to prevent the shading portion 410 and the scanning terminal 100 from relative displacement, in one example, the shading portion 410 can be fixed to the scanning terminal 100 by gluing, snapping, etc. In another example, the shading member 400 further includes a limiting portion 420, which is provided on the shading portion 410 and cooperates with the scanning terminal 100 to limit the shading portion 410. For example, a limiting hole is provided on the scanning terminal 100, and a limiting column is provided on the shading portion 410, and the limiting column is inserted into the limiting hole to achieve the relative position of the fixed shading portion 410 and the scanning terminal 100, and to facilitate the disassembly between the shading portion 410 and the scanning terminal 100. For another example, the shading portion 410 is provided with a limiting portion 420 on both sides along the width direction and / or along the length direction, and the limiting portion 420 abuts against the outer wall of the scanning terminal 100. When the limiting portions 420 are provided on both sides of the light shielding portion 410 along the width direction or along both sides of the length direction, the scanning dock 100 can be snapped in between the two limiting portions 420 to achieve fixation between the scanning dock 100 and the light shielding portion 410, and the scanning dock 100 and the light shielding portion 410 can be detached. When the limiting portions 420 are provided on both sides of the light shielding portion 410 along the width direction and along both sides of the length direction, that is, a limiting portion 420 is provided on each side of the light shielding portion 410, at least four limiting portions 420 can be formed. At least four limiting portions 420 can better snap in with each side wall of the scanning dock 100 to achieve snap-in fixation between the light shielding portion 410 and the scanning dock 100, thereby improving the installation stability of the light shielding portion 410.

[0041] In some embodiments, the light source 300 can be connected to an external controller or chip via an electrical connection line to control the operation of the light source 300. In addition, a bottom shell can be provided at the bottom of the light guide 200, and the light source 300 is mounted on the bottom shell. The bottom shell can protect the light source 300 and the scanner terminal 100. In other embodiments, such as Figures 1 to 3As shown, the barcode scanning device also includes a mainboard 600. The side of the scanning terminal 100 facing away from the barcode scanning window 110 is disposed on the mainboard 600. The light source 300 is disposed on the mainboard 600, and the light guide 200 is disposed above the light source 300. A controller or chip connected to the light source 300 is disposed on the mainboard 600 to control the operation of the light source 300. The number of light sources 300 can be one or more. When there are multiple light sources 300, the multiple light sources 300 are evenly distributed to ensure that light is evenly emitted from the light guide 200 and the lens 500. The light sources 300 can also be light sources of different colors to provide different colors of ring flash light to meet the needs of different users. Furthermore, to protect the mainboard 600 and the scanning terminal 100 from dust, moisture, etc. entering the barcode scanning device, a bottom shell can be disposed outside the mainboard 600. The bottom shell is fixedly connected to the light guide 200 to form a closed housing to protect the internal components.

[0042] The present application also provides an embodiment of an electronic device, including the code scanning device described in any of the above embodiments, the structure of the code scanning device is as follows: Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the barcode scanning device is connected to the host of the electronic device to realize barcode scanning and cashiering. When the light source 300 is working, the light guide 200 and the light-emitting area 530 on the lens 500 emit light, that is, the barcode scanning device has its own light ring, which allows users to identify the location of the barcode scanning device more quickly in a dark environment, and the bright light on the barcode scanning device can timely perform fill-in lighting, thereby better improving the user experience. In this embodiment, the timing of the light source 300 on the barcode scanning device being lit can be set according to actual usage requirements. For example, the light source is turned on a few seconds before the barcode scanning device is needed to scan the code. After the light source 300 works normally, the light ring on the barcode scanning device emits light, so that merchants can find the location of the barcode scanning device more quickly in a dark environment, and then perform the scanning work, thereby improving the user experience.

[0043] In the above embodiments, the description of each embodiment has its own focus. For parts that are not described or recorded in detail in a certain embodiment, reference can be made to the relevant description of other embodiments.

[0044] It should be noted that the above embodiments can be freely combined as needed. The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present application. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principles of the present application, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered as the scope of protection of the present application.
