Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of document scanners, and more particularly to a document scanner with an adjustable scanning angle. Background Technology

[0002] An archival scanner is a device that uses photoelectric technology and digital processing technology to convert graphic or image information into digital signals through scanning. It is a type of scanning equipment specifically designed for archives, libraries, and other similar institutions. It is a new type of low-carbon and environmentally friendly document scanner.

[0003] Chinese Patent Publication No. CN213585925U discloses a scanner specifically for archives, comprising a placement plate, a support rod, and a scanner. The placement plate has four threaded knobs at its top corners, and a pressure plate is located in the center of each of the four threaded knobs. The support rod has movable blocks on both sides, and two of the movable blocks have rotating blocks at one end. A supplementary light is fixedly connected to the front of each rotating block, and a connecting piece is fixedly connected to the top of each of the two movable blocks. This invention improves the scanning success rate by providing supplementary lighting to the archives during scanning through the supplementary lights on both sides of the support rod. Furthermore, the rotating blocks, connected to the movable blocks by threaded knobs, allow for angle adjustment by loosening the third threaded knob. Loosening the second threaded knob allows for sliding connection between the slider and the groove, enabling vertical adjustment of the supplementary light position.

[0004] In the aforementioned technology, although the position of the supplementary light can be adjusted, the angle of the scanning head is fixed. In special cases, such as when the paper of the document has a certain curvature or the content of the layout is tilted, the scanning head cannot fully scan the content on the paper. Therefore, an archival scanner that is easy to adjust the scanning angle is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
