[0034] Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of the universal joint of this utility model.
[0035] An adjustable-angle document scanner includes a base 100 and a shooting component 200. The shooting component 200 is disposed on the top surface of the base 100 and includes a telescopic rod 210. A universal joint 240 is detachably mounted on the top of the telescopic rod 210, and a camera module 220 is detachably mounted on the top of the universal joint 240. The camera module 220 can rotate at an angle under the action of the universal joint 240. In use, the object to be photographed is placed on the top surface of the base 100, and the angle of the camera module 220 is adjusted by the universal joint 240 to align it with the object to be photographed. Due to the universal joint 240, the camera module 220 can rotate at multiple angles, allowing it to be adjusted to a more suitable position when photographing objects that are not perfectly horizontal, such as the seam of a thick book. Extending or shortening the telescopic rod 210 can adjust the height of the shooting module 220 to accommodate objects of different heights.
[0036] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, a circular damping shaft 230 is detachably provided between the telescopic rod 210 and the universal joint 240, allowing the camera module 220 to rotate horizontally under the action of the circular damping shaft 230. The addition of the circular damping shaft 230 enables the camera module 220 to rotate horizontally, expanding its shooting range. When the object being photographed is large, such as a map, and it is impossible to place the main shooting area in the center, rotating the camera module 220 to align it with the desired shooting area results in more precise shooting.
[0037] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, a wire 250 extends from the bottom of the camera module 220 and passes through the top of the telescopic rod 210. The length of the wire 250 is greater than or equal to the sum of the distance between the telescopic rod 210 and the universal joint 240 and half the circumference of the universal joint 240. The wire 250 is externally positioned to ensure that the camera module 220 can rotate at least 180 degrees without affecting the electrical connection of the camera module 220 during rotation.
[0038] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the camera module 220 has a camera 221 and a light 222 detachably mounted on one side of its bottom, and a spare camera 223 and a light 222 detachably mounted on the other side. By mounting a spare camera 223 on the camera module 220, it can be promptly replaced when the camera 221 malfunctions, without the need for time-consuming and laborious disassembly and reassembly of the camera 221. Simply rotate the camera module 220 180 degrees to position the spare camera 223 for shooting.
[0039] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a storage slot 300 is fixedly provided on the top surface of the base 100. The ID card or other document to be photographed can be placed in the storage slot 300 for easy removal and photographing later.
[0040] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, a display screen 400 is detachably mounted on the top surface of the base 100, and the display screen 400 is electrically connected to the shooting component 200. Combining the display screen 400 and the shooting component 200 allows for real-time control of the shooting process, and the captured image can be displayed promptly for easy observation.
[0041] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the base 100 has four USB ports 110 on its side. The multiple USB ports 110 facilitate the transfer of captured images to other devices and also allow for convenient charging of the document camera.
[0042] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, four limiting blocks 120 are fixedly disposed on the top surface of the base 100, and the limiting blocks 120 are located at the four right angles of a rectangle. The four limiting blocks 120 form a shooting area, and it is stipulated that the shooting effect is best within this area. At the same time, the limiting blocks 120 can also play a role in assisting in the straightening of the object being photographed.
[0043] In summary, this utility model provides an adjustable-angle document scanner. By incorporating a universal joint at the bottom of the shooting module, it achieves multi-angle adjustment during shooting, enabling the scanner to adapt to shooting various objects, not just horizontal surfaces. Furthermore, a circular damping shaft is designed between the telescopic rod and the universal joint, allowing the shooting module to rotate horizontally. This facilitates precise camera positioning when shooting large objects. Additionally, this utility model uses external electrical connections, preventing damage from repeated bending that could occur with internal wiring. A spare camera is also included, allowing for timely replacement if the primary camera malfunctions due to impacts or scratches, ensuring smooth shooting.
[0044] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
