[0030] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model. The present utility model will be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments:

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown in the figure, a foldable document scanner for financial purposes includes a stabilizing mechanism (the stabilizing mechanism has been fully disclosed in the document CN221807031U, which describes a foldable document scanner for financial purposes and is considered prior art; its structure is not described and is not shown in the figure. Its purpose is to prevent the document scanner from falling and being damaged due to external forces during use), a base 1, a support rod 11, a receiving groove 101, a folding assembly, a first connecting roller 12, a rotating roller 14, a second connecting roller 15, a camera 16, a worm gear 17, a worm 18, and a knob 19.

[0032] The stabilizing structure and the upright 11 are both set on the base 1 and the stabilizing mechanism is symmetrically distributed about the base 1. The upright 11 is provided with a receiving groove 101.

[0033] The folding assembly is mounted on the upright 11 and connected to the first connecting roller 12;

[0034] The first connecting roller 12 has an installation groove 13 and a rotating roller 14 is rotatably connected in the installation groove 13;

[0035] One end of the rotating roller 14 is connected to a second connecting roller 15;

[0036] Camera 16 is mounted on the second connecting roller 15;

[0037] The worm gear 17 is mounted on the rotating roller 14 and engages with the worm 18 which is rotatably mounted in the mounting groove 13;

[0038] The knob 19, located outside the first connecting roller 12, is connected to one end of the worm gear 18.

[0039] In a further refinement of the embodiment of this utility model, the folding assembly includes a fixing plate 21, a rotating shaft 22, and a first magnetic plate 23. The top area of ​​the upright 11 is symmetrically provided with fixing plates 21, and the two fixing plates 21 are rotatably connected by a rotating shaft 22. The rotating shaft 22 is connected to a first connecting roller 12, which is made of metal material and cooperates with the first magnetic plate 23 provided on the fixing plate 21.

[0040] In a further optimization of the above embodiment, a second magnetic plate 24 that cooperates with the first connecting roller 12 is also provided on the fixed plate 21.

[0041] In a further refinement of the embodiment of this utility model, a placement plate that contacts the workbench is movably disposed on the base 1. The placement plate is not shown in the figure.

[0042] The working process of this utility model:

[0043] When the high-speed document scanner is needed, first grasp the first connecting roller 12, and then use the folding component to make the camera 16 disengage from the receiving groove 101 and flip upward with the first connecting roller 12. After the flip is completed, the first connecting roller 12 contacts the first magnetic plate 23 to achieve position limitation and magnetic adsorption, and then the camera 16 is in a vertical downward state.

[0044] When the angle of the camera 16 needs to be adjusted, the knob 19 can be turned. After the knob 19 is turned, the worm gear 18 will rotate. The rotation of the worm gear 18 will cooperate with the worm wheel 17 to drive the rotating roller 14 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating roller 14 will realize the rotation of the second connecting roller 15, and then the camera 16 will rotate in coordination. The shooting angle of the camera 16 can then be finely adjusted to adapt to more usage scenarios. At the same time, a placement plate can be installed to place some financial documents to be photographed, and then financial work can begin.

[0045] After the document scanner is used, the camera 16 is first reset (i.e., moved back to the vertical downward position). This is to ensure that the camera 16 can re-enter the storage groove after the first connecting roller 12 is folded, thereby reducing the amount of dust adhering to its surface. Then, manual force is applied to make the first magnetic plate 23 separate from the first connecting roller 12, so that the camera 16 can finally re-enter the receiving groove 101. The second magnetic plate 24 can prevent the position of the camera 16 in the receiving groove 101 from shaking, that is, the adsorption force once again limits the folded first connecting roller 12.

[0046] Compared to existing technologies, this device can adjust the angle of the camera 16 on the document scanner to adapt to more usage scenarios. At the same time, when the document scanner is not in use, the camera 16 can be stored in the receiving slot 101 to reduce the amount of dust adhering to its surface, resulting in better document scanner performance. It also has multiple functions such as folding and angle adjustment.

[0047] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the second connecting roller 15 has a setting groove 31, and telescopic rods 33 connected to the camera 16 are symmetrically arranged in the setting groove 31. It also includes a long screw 32, which is threadedly connected to the second connecting roller 15 and passes through the setting groove 31 to be rotatably connected to the camera 16.

[0048] In a further optimization of the above embodiment, a handle is connected to one end of the long screw 32; in this embodiment, by rotating the handle, the camera 16 can be driven to move downward, thereby changing the field of view for shooting financial documents and realizing the height adjustment of the camera 16, thus further enhancing its functionality.

[0049] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The descriptions of the above embodiments and specifications are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
