[0030] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 There are two limiting protrusions 13, forming a limiting space 131 between them. When the limiting member 3 engages and locks the scanner, the limiting space 131 can limit the scanner. In this embodiment, when the scanner is inserted into the limiting slot 11, the end of the scanner is just engaged in the limiting space 131, and the two sides of the end of the scanner abut against the two limiting protrusions 13 to facilitate the positioning of the scanner and make the scanner charging more stable.

[0031] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 The limiting protrusion 13 also has a clearance groove 132 communicating with the limiting groove 11. The limiting member 3 can switch positions between the clearance groove 132 and the limiting groove 11 when sliding. When the limiting member 3 is in the clearance groove 132, the limiting groove 11 can be inserted into the scanner; when the limiting member 3 is in the limiting groove 11, the limiting member 3 can engage and lock the scanner. In this embodiment, before the scanner is inserted into the limiting groove 11, the limiting member 3 can be slid to the clearance groove 132 to make room for the scanner insertion. After the scanner is inserted into the limiting groove 11, the limiting member 3 is slid to the limiting groove 11 to engage with the scanner, thus locking the scanner. When it is necessary to disassemble the scanner, the limiting member 3 can be slid to the clearance groove 132 to detach from the scanner. After the scanner is unlocked, it can be pulled out from the limiting groove 11.

[0032] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 The limiting component also includes a slide rod 6 disposed on the limiting protrusion 13, an elastic element 4 sleeved on the slide rod 6, and a limiting element 3 slidably connected to the slide rod 6. In this embodiment, the elastic element 4 is a spring. By sleeved on the slide rod 6 and sliding the slide rod 6 through the limiting element 3, the limiting element 3 can reciprocate stably, and the spring can stably accumulate or release elastic force.

[0033] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 The housing 1 also includes a cover 14, inside which is a battery slot (not shown in the figure) for accommodating a battery. The cover 14 is rotatably connected to the outer shell 12 and can open or close the battery slot when rotated. In this embodiment, the battery slot can be used to insert a battery, so that the wireless charging dock 100 can charge the scanner without being constantly connected to mains power. When the battery power is low, the cover 14 can be opened to replace it with a fully charged battery, or the wireless charging dock 100 can be connected to mains power via a power cord to charge the battery. The outer shell 12 has a socket (not shown in the figure) for connecting a power cord, which can be connected to mains power to charge the battery. As can be seen, the wireless charging dock 100 of this embodiment can charge the scanner without being connected to mains power, making it portable and convenient to use.

[0034] An unlocking switch 141 is provided on the cover 14. The unlocking switch 141 is slidably mounted on the cover 14 via a spring. A groove (not shown in the figure) is provided on the corresponding part of the outer shell 12. When the battery compartment is closed, the unlocking switch 141 can engage with the groove to prevent the cover 14 from opening by itself and to protect the battery in the battery compartment. When it is necessary to replace the battery, the unlocking switch 141 can be slid out of the groove to open the cover 14.

[0035] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 The housing 1 has a charging slot 15, and the charging component includes multiple charging pins disposed in the charging slot 15. These charging pins can electrically connect to the scanner when it is inserted into the charging slot 15. In this embodiment, when the scanner is inserted into the limiting slot 11, the scanner can also be inserted into the charging slot 15, and simultaneously, the scanner's electrode portion can be electrically connected to the multiple charging pins to achieve a powered state. This embodiment, through the insertion and engagement of the charging slot 15 with the scanner, allows the charging slot 15 to further position the scanner, thereby ensuring a stable connection between the scanner's electrode portion and the multiple charging pins, preventing separation and ensuring stable charging.

[0036] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 The housing assembly also includes a data connector 7. When the limiting member 3 engages and locks the scanner, the data connector 7 can connect to the scanner, so that the scanner can transmit data with the wireless charging dock 100 while charging, making it convenient to use.

[0037] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 The housing assembly also includes a positioning post 16, which is inserted into the scanner when the limiting member 3 engages and locks the scanner. In this embodiment, when the scanner is charging, the positioning post 16 is inserted into the scanner to further improve the stability of the connection between the wireless charging base 100 and the scanner, making the scanner charging more stable.

[0038] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 The surface of the outer casing 12 is provided with multiple power indicator lights 17. The power indicator lights 17 are used to display the remaining power of the battery.

When the snap-fit ​​flange 8 is located in the limiting groove 11, the limiting member 3 can slide to snap onto or disengage from the snap-fit ​​flange 8 to lock the scanner 200. At this time, the wireless charging dock 100 can stably charge the scanner 200. When the scanner 200 is fully charged, the limiting member 3 can be slid away from the snap-fit ​​flange 8 to unlock the scanner 200.

[0041] Both sides of the scanner 200 are provided with snap-fit ​​flanges 8, and both sides of the wireless charging base 100 have limiting protrusions 13 with limiting grooves 11, and both are slidably provided with limiting elements 3 and elastic elements 4. Therefore, when the scanner 200 is charging, the two snap-fit ​​flanges 8 can be inserted into the limiting grooves 11 on both sides of the wireless charging base 100 respectively, and locked by the corresponding limiting elements 3. At the same time, the two limiting protrusions 13 can also limit the scanner 200, so that the scanner 200 can be charged stably.

[0042] The bottom of the scanner 200 is provided with multiple electrode pins 91. When the scanner 200 is locked and connected to the wireless charging base 100, the multiple electrode pins 91 are connected to the multiple charging pins on the wireless charging base 100 to achieve electrical connection, so that the wireless charging base 100 can charge the scanner 200.

[0043] The bottom of the scanner 200 has a positioning hole 92, which is used to connect and cooperate with the positioning post 16 of the wireless charging base 100 so that the scanner 200 will not shake during charging and the charging is more stable.

[0044] The scanner 200 has a USB interface 93 at the bottom. When the scanner 200 is locked and connected to the wireless charging dock 100, the USB interface 93 is connected to the data connector 7 of the wireless charging dock 100 to realize data transmission.

[0045] To better understand this utility model, the following is combined with... Figures 1 to 3 The technical solution of this utility model is described in detail below:

[0046] The wireless charging dock 100 provided by this utility model can be used to charge the scanner 200 to extend its battery life. When the scanner 200 needs charging, it can first be inserted into the limiting slot 11 to make the electrode pins 91 of the scanner 200 electrically connected to the charging component 2. The limiting component 3 is then slidably engaged to lock the scanner 200. At this time, the elastic component 4 limits the limiting component 3 through elastic force, keeping it in the locked position. Even when the wireless charging dock 100 is tilted, it can maintain a stable connection with the scanner 200, and the two will not separate, ensuring stable charging. When the scanner 200 is fully charged, the limiting component 3 can be slid out of the scanner 200 to unlock it. The scanner 200 can then be slid out of the limiting slot 11 and removed, making it convenient to use.
