Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of scanning device technology, and in particular to a connection structure between a handheld scanner and a device. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of automation, automated equipment is being used to handle more and more tasks in people's work and life. For example, handheld scanners are connected to equipment (such as automated robots, robotic arms, etc.) to perform scanning work. Automated equipment drives the handheld scanner to perform high-intensity work and can also work in areas that are unsuitable for operators to enter or cannot scan.

[0003] When a handheld scanner is connected to an automated robot, it needs to be linked through a fixing device or connecting structure to ensure a stable connection and prevent interference during rotation. This means the handheld scanner needs to be stably installed while maintaining a distance from the robot that doesn't affect its rotation. In existing technology, such as the scanner connection device described in application number 202120870133.X, which can connect to the scanner and extend its laser head into narrow spaces to scan and acquire relevant information, it can scan a wider area and avoids accidents caused by people entering narrow spaces. However, its installation stability and the presence of a telescopic rod may actually lead to instability of the handheld scanner. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a connection structure between a handheld scanner and a device. By setting an extension, a certain distance can be formed between the clamp on which the handheld scanner is mounted and the output end of the device, so that the handheld scanner can have a larger rotation space, will not interfere with the device during rotation, and has a better scanning angle when the device moves.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a connection structure between a handheld scanner and a device, comprising:

[0006] The clamping component includes a first positioning plate having a first groove and a second positioning plate having a second groove. The first and second positioning plates are connected to form a positioning cavity for mounting a handheld scanner.

[0008] A fixed flange, one end of which is connected to the extension flange, and the other end of which is connected to the equipment.

[0009] As a further optimization, the first positioning plate includes an abutment plate, a connecting plate, and a pin. The pin is formed on one side wall of the connecting plate for insertion into the cavity. The connecting plate abuts against the extension flange. The abutment plate has a C-shaped structure and is formed on the other side wall of the connecting plate. The second positioning plate has a C-shaped structure. The cavity is formed after the second positioning plate and the abutment plate are locked together.

[0010] As a further optimization, the second positioning plate abuts against the connecting plate.

[0011] As a further optimization, one of the connecting plate and the second positioning plate is provided with a first slot, and the other is provided with a first insert. The first insert is embedded in the first slot to align and abut the second positioning plate with the abutting plate.

[0012] As a further optimization, the first positioning plate is a one-piece molded structure.

[0013] As a further optimization, the extension also includes a locking screw. The insertion post has an insertion hole on the side away from the connecting plate, and the insertion hole has an internal thread. When the insertion post is inserted into the middle cavity, the locking screw is screwed into the insertion hole and abuts against the extension flange. The locking action can stably install the insertion post and the clamping member on the fixed flange.

[0014] As a further optimization, the extension flange and / or the fixed flange are provided with a clearance step. The clearance step is preferably provided on the extension flange and can be used to embed the end of the locking screw to avoid forming a protrusion that would affect the connection between the extension flange and the fixed flange.

[0015] As a further optimization, a second slot is provided on one of the outer wall of the insertion post and the side wall of the central cavity, and a second insert is provided on the other. The second insert is embedded in the second slot to ensure the accurate installation position of the clamping member and the extension flange, and also to prevent the handheld scanner from rotating relative to the extension flange.

[0016] As a further optimization, padding is provided on the inner walls of the first and second grooves to support the grip of the handheld scanner and prevent scratches.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] 1. By setting an extension, a certain distance can be formed between the clamp with the handheld scanner and the output end of the device, which allows the handheld scanner to have a larger rotation space, will not interfere with the device during rotation, and has a better scanning angle when the device moves.

[0019] 2.

[0024] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention, which are described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0025] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a connection structure between a handheld scanner and a device includes a clamping member 10, an extension member 20, and a fixing flange 30. The clamping member 10 includes a first positioning plate 11 with a first groove 110 and a second positioning plate 12 with a second groove 120. The first positioning plate 11 and the second positioning plate 12 are connected to form a positioning cavity 100 for mounting the handheld scanner 40. The extension member 20 includes at least an extension flange 21 with a central cavity 210. One end of the clamping member 10 is inserted into the central cavity 210. One end of the fixing flange 30 is connected to the extension flange 21 by locking or other means, and the other end is connected to the device, i.e., to the output end of the device, such as to the end effector 50 of a robotic arm, so as to drive the entire connection structure and the handheld scanner 40 to move in three-dimensional space.

[0026] In this utility model, by setting the extension 20 (extension flange 21), a certain distance can be formed between the clamping member 10 on which the handheld scanner 40 is installed and the output end of the device. Compared with directly installing the clamping member 10 on the output end of the device through the fixing flange 30, the handheld scanner 40 can have a larger distance from the output end of the device, thus having a larger rotation space. During the process of the handheld scanner 40 being driven to rotate, it will not interfere with the main body of the device. For example, it can have a better scanning angle under the drive of the robotic arm.

[0027] Preferably, the first positioning plate 11 is an integrally formed structure, comprising an abutment plate 111, a connecting plate 112, and a pin 113. The pin 113 is formed on one side wall of the connecting plate 112 for insertion into the central cavity 210, and the connecting plate 112 abuts against the extension flange 21. The abutment plate 111 has a C-shaped structure and a first groove 110, which is formed on the other side wall of the connecting plate 112. The second positioning plate 12 has a C-shaped structure and a second groove 120. The second positioning plate 12 and... After the abutment plate 111 is locked, a central cavity 100 is formed. The first groove 110 and the second groove 120 of the abutment plate 111 and the second positioning plate 12 are respectively formed into a contour structure that can match the handle of the handheld scanner 40, so as to achieve stable installation of the handheld scanner 40. Moreover, the insertion post 113 of the first positioning plate 11 extends into the central cavity 210 of the extension flange 20 for insertion, which can improve the convenience of installation and the stability of the clamping member 10 installed on the extension flange 21.

[0028] When the second positioning plate 12 abuts against the abutting plate 111 to form the positioning cavity 100, the other side wall of the second positioning plate 12 can abut against the connecting plate 112. The support and limiting effect of the connecting plate 112 ensures the accurate positioning of the second positioning plate 12. Figure 3 The precise alignment in the left and right directions ensures that the shape of the formed positioning cavity 100 perfectly matches the shape of the handle of the handheld scanner 40.

[0029] One of the connecting plate 112 and the second positioning plate 12 is provided with a first slot, and the other is provided with a first insert. For example, the connecting plate 112 is provided with a first slot 1121, and the second positioning plate 12 is provided with a first insert 121. The first insert 121 is embedded in the first slot 1121 to align and abut the second positioning plate 12 with the abutment plate 111, that is... Figure 3 The precise alignment in the vertical direction shown can prevent misalignment between the second positioning plate 12 and the abutment plate 111.

[0030] like Figure 4As shown, in another embodiment of this utility model, in order to ensure the installation stability of the insert 113 after it is embedded in the cavity 210, the extension 20 also includes a locking screw 22. The insert 113 has an insertion hole 1130 on the side away from the connecting plate 112. The insertion hole 1130 has an internal thread. The cavity 210 has a through structure. When the insert 113 is inserted into the cavity 210, the locking screw 22 is screwed into the insertion hole 1130, and the end 221 of the locking screw 22 abuts against the end of the extension flange 21 away from the clamping member 10. Through the locking action, the insert 113 (clamping member 10) can be stably connected to the extension flange 21. Of course, a slotted groove or a cross groove can be provided on the end 221 of the locking screw 22 to facilitate tightening it with a tool. It should be noted that, compared to the threaded connection achieved by setting threads on the side wall of the cavity 210 and the threaded connection achieved by setting threads on the outer side wall of the insert 113, in this embodiment, the insert 113 can remain in a fixed position relative to the extension flange 21 during the locking process. Instead, locking is achieved by rotating the locking screw 22, which can better ensure the positional relationship between the end clamping member 10 and the extension flange 21 at the end of the locking stroke.

[0031] Based on the above configuration, a second insert 1131 is provided on the outer side wall of the insert 113, and a second slot 211 is provided on the side wall of the cavity 210. The second insert 1131 is embedded in the second slot 211, which can prevent the insert 113 from rotating in the cavity 210 and prevent the clamping member 10 from rotating relative to the extension flange 21 due to the weight of the handheld scanner 40.

[0032] Preferably, the extension flange 21 is provided with a relief step 212 on the side of the cavity 210. The presence of the relief step 212 allows the end 221 of the locking screw 22 to be embedded therein, avoiding the formation of a protrusion, and facilitating the alignment and locking of the extension flange 21 and the fixed flange 30.

[0033] In addition, padding (not shown) is provided on the inner walls of the first groove 110 and the second groove 120. The padding can play a role in cushioning and support and anti-slip, ensuring the installation stability of the handheld scanner 40 and preventing its handle from being scratched due to friction.

[0034] The specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative examples illustrating the spirit of this utility model. Those skilled in the art to which this utility model pertains may make various modifications or additions to the described specific embodiments or use similar methods to substitute them, without departing from the spirit of this utility model or exceeding the scope defined by the appended claims.
