[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "opening", "upper", "lower", "thickness", "top", "middle", "length", "inner", "around" and other terms indicating orientation or positional relationship are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the components or elements referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.

[0025] Example 1

[0026] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 as well as Figure 3 A rotatable document scanner includes a mounting frame 1 and a scanning head 2 mounted on the mounting frame 1. The mounting frame 1 is rotatably mounted on the side of a rectangular frame 3 via a pivot, allowing the mounting frame 1 to rotate and adjust, enabling the scanning head 2 to capture images from multiple angles. The rectangular frame 3 has a drive structure for rotating the mounting frame 1. A detachable support mechanism is provided at the bottom of the rectangular frame 3 to stabilize and support it.

[0027] For the above example, those skilled in the art should know that when implementing the above technical solution, the scanning head body 2 is an existing CMOS sensor.

[0028] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the mounting frame 1 consists of a horizontal rod and a vertical rod, which are inverted L-shaped. Both the horizontal and vertical rods are adjustable in length. The scanning head body 2 is mounted on one end of the horizontal rod, with the imaging end of the scanning head body 2 facing downwards. The mounting frame 1 itself can realize the forward and backward movement and up and down movement adjustment of the scanning head body 2, satisfying the requirement of flexible adjustment.

[0029] As a technical optimization of this utility model, a placement plate 4 is placed on the rectangular frame 3. The inner edge of the rectangular frame 3 is provided with a recessed groove that matches the placement plate 4. The placement plate 4 is made of transparent material. The placement plate 4 can be removed from the rectangular frame 3 and is used to place medicine boxes for subsequent scanning operations.

[0030] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the driving mechanism includes a motor 5 installed on the edge of a rectangular frame 3. A drive pulley 6 is coaxially fixed to the motor 5, and a driven pulley 7 is rotatably mounted on the rectangular frame 3. The driven pulley 7 is coaxially fixed to the rotating shaft of the mounting frame 1. The drive pulley 6 and the driven pulley 7 are connected by a belt drive. The motor 5 can drive the drive pulley 6 to rotate precisely. The drive pulley 6 drives the driven pulley 7 to rotate via a belt, and the rotation of the driven pulley 7 drives the mounting frame 1 to rotate. In other words, the motor 5 can control the rotation of the mounting frame 1, allowing it to swing left and right, or rotate 90-270 degrees, so that the scanning head 2 can scan and capture images from bottom to top, or symmetrically from the left and right sides.

[0031] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the support mechanism includes a telescopic frame 8 detachably and fixedly connected to the rectangular frame 3. The telescopic frame 8 is elliptical and mounted on a base 9, which is L-shaped. The base 9 is provided with a squeezing knob 10 for fixing the telescopic frame 8. The telescopic frame 8 can realize the height adjustment of the rectangular frame 3, ensuring that when the mounting frame 1 rotates 180 degrees, the mounting frame 1 can be positioned unobstructed in the gap between the rectangular frame 3 and the base 9.

[0032] The working principle is as follows:

[0033] Multiple medicine boxes to be scanned are placed on the placement plate 4. The scanning head 2 can perform scanning operations from the top, while the mounting frame 1 can also rotate to the bottom for scanning. This eliminates the need for manual stacking of medicine boxes, and avoids the hassle of manually ensuring all barcodes face upwards. The rotation of the mounting frame 1 allows scanning of barcodes regardless of their orientation. The placement plate 4 is transparent, ensuring scanning from the bottom. Furthermore, the mounting frame 1 can swing left and right, allowing scanning even from the sides of the medicine boxes. This means it can capture images from either the top or bottom sides. The overall device effectively reduces manpower and improves scanning efficiency.

[0034] In the rotation operation of the aforementioned mounting frame 1, it can be controlled by the motor 5. That is, the motor 5 drives the drive pulley 6 to rotate precisely, and the drive pulley 6 drives the driven pulley 7 to rotate through the belt. The rotation of the driven pulley 7 drives the mounting frame 1 to rotate. In other words, the motor 5 can control the rotation of the mounting frame 1, and make the mounting frame 1 swing left and right. It can also rotate the mounting frame 1 180 degrees so that the scanning head body 2 can scan and capture images from bottom to top.

[0035] This application eliminates the need for manual stacking of medicine boxes. The barcodes on the medicine boxes are exposed and can be scanned whether they are facing up or down, or even when they are facing to the left or right.

[0036] Example 2

[0037] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 The difference between this embodiment and the embodiments described above is that:

[0038] The drive mechanism also includes a drive gear 11 rotatably mounted on the side of the rectangular frame 3, a driven gear 12 coaxially fixed to the rotating shaft of the mounting frame 1, the drive gear 11 and the driven gear 12 meshing and matching, a crank handle 13 coaxially fixed to the drive gear 11, a screw 14 threaded through the bottom of the mounting frame 1, the screw 14 abutting against and positioning the driven gear 12, a fixing seat 15 fixed to the side of the rectangular frame 3, and a protrusion 16 elastically extending and retracting on the fixing seat 15, the protrusion 16 abutting against and matching the tooth groove of the drive gear 11. That is, by manually rotating the crank handle 13, the operator drives the drive gear 11 to rotate, the drive gear 11 drives the driven gear 12 to rotate, and the driven gear 12 drives the mounting frame 1 to rotate, thereby controlling the mounting frame 1 to swing left and right, or rotating the mounting frame 1 180 degrees so that the scanning head body 2 scans and captures images from bottom to top. Furthermore, when the mounting frame 1 rotates, the rotation of the drive gear 11 is restricted because the protrusion 16 abuts against and matches the tooth groove of the drive gear 11. When it rotates to each position and stops rotating, the protrusion 16 can position the drive gear 11, and then finally position the mounting frame 1. At this time, the screw 14 can be tightened to squeeze the driven gear 12, which further positions and fixes the mounting frame 1.

[0039] The working principle is as follows:

[0040] The mounting frame 1 needs to be rotated to allow for multi-directional scanning. Operators can manually rotate the crank 13 to drive the drive gear 11, which in turn drives the driven gear 12, which in turn rotates the mounting frame 1. This allows for left-right swinging of the mounting frame 1, or rotation of 180 degrees to allow the scanning head 2 to scan from bottom to top, from the upper left and right sides, or from the lower left and right sides, achieving multi-directional scanning. During rotation, the drive gear 11's rotation is restricted by the mating of the protrusion 16 and the tooth groove. At each position and when rotation stops, the protrusion 16 positions the drive gear 11, ultimately positioning the mounting frame 1. Tightening the screw 14 further secures the mounting frame 1 by pressing the driven gear 12 into place.

[0041] Example 3

[0042] Reference Figure 6 This embodiment differs from the embodiments described above in that...

[0043] The support mechanism also includes a base plate 17, which is detachably and fixedly connected to the bottom of the rectangular frame 3.

[0044] The working principle is as follows:

[0045] This application can also perform normal position scanning operation, that is, a base plate 17 is installed at the bottom of the rectangular frame 3. At this time, the height of the whole device is reduced, and the whole device can be placed on a horizontal table. The medicine box is placed on the placement plate 4 for scanning operation.

[0046] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
