[0033] Detailed Implementation

[0034] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.

[0035] The interface protection structure of this utility model is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0036] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this utility model provides an interface protection structure 100, which includes a mounting bracket 10 and a protective component. One side of the mounting bracket 10 is used for mounting the interface component 200, and the mounting bracket 10 is provided with a plug-in interface 11, which communicates with the interface seat 201 of the interface component 200. The protective component includes a protective flip cover 20 and an elastic support piece 30. The protective flip cover 20 is rotatably disposed on the side of the mounting bracket 10 facing away from the interface seat 201. The elastic support piece 30 is disposed on the mounting bracket 10. The protective flip cover 20 is provided with a support block 21, which is located on the side of the protective flip cover 20 facing the mounting bracket 10 and abuts against the elastic support piece 30.

[0037] It should be noted that the interface protection structure 100 of this utility model can be applied to a scanner 300 to protect various interfaces such as USB interface and memory card interface. The scanner 300 can be a structured light 3D scanner, a laser 3D scanner, or a LiDAR scanner, etc., and the interface can be a Type-C interface, a TF card interface, or an SD card interface, etc. This utility model does not limit the type of scanner 300 or the type of interface to which the interface protection structure 100 is applied. This utility model embodiment only describes the interface protection structure 100 installed on the scanner 300 to protect the Type-C interface socket 201a and the TF card interface socket 201b as an example. The Type-C interface socket 201a is used for the Type-C connector to be inserted for data transmission, and the TF card interface socket 201b is used for the TF memory card to be inserted for data reading and storage.

[0038] Specifically, an interface assembly 200 is installed on one side of the mounting bracket 10. The mounting bracket 10 has a plug-in interface 11, which is connected to the interface socket 201 to facilitate the insertion of a type-C connector or TF memory card from the plug-in interface 11 into the interface socket 201. The other side of the mounting bracket 10 has a protective flip cover 20, which has a support block 21. The protective flip cover 20 can drive the support block 21 to swing relative to the mounting bracket 10. The mounting bracket 10 has an elastic support piece 30 at the position corresponding to the support block 21. The elastic support piece 30 can abut against the support block 21 when the support block 21 swings to any angle to support the support block 21, so that the support block 21 can support the protective flip cover 20 relative to the mounting bracket 10 in any position. In the interface protection structure 100 of this utility model embodiment, when the opening space is relatively narrow, the user can flexibly open the protective flip cover 20 to any angle according to the actual situation. The elastic support piece 30 supports the protective flip cover 20 through the support block 21, so that the protective flip cover 20 is stably maintained in any open position, which makes it convenient for the user to use the interface socket 201. Moreover, the elastic force of the elastic support piece 30 acts on the protective flip cover 20 through the support block 21, which enhances the user's opening and closing feel and improves the user experience.

[0039] In addition, understandably, such as Figure 4 As shown, when the protective flip cover 20 is rotated to the closed position relative to the mounting bracket 10, it overlaps the mounting bracket 10 to cover the insertion interface 11, thus protecting the interface seat 201. This effectively prevents dust and liquid from entering the interface seat 201, ensuring stable and reliable protection. Furthermore, when the protective flip cover 20 is rotated to the closed position, the elastic support piece 30 abuts against the support block 21 and restricts the rotation of the support block 21. This allows the protective flip cover 20 to remain stably in the closed position without external force, effectively preventing the protective flip cover 20 from automatically opening and causing protection failure, thereby improving structural stability.

[0040] In this embodiment of the utility model, the elastic support piece 30 includes a positioning and mounting part 31 and an elastic support part 32. The positioning and mounting part 31 is disposed on the mounting bracket 10. The elastic support part 32 includes a first support segment 321 and a second support segment 322. The first support segment 321 is connected to the positioning and mounting part 31 and is bent relative to the positioning and mounting part 31. The second support segment 322 is connected to the first support segment 321 and is bent relative to the first support segment 321. The support block 21 abuts against the second support segment 322.

[0041] like Figure 4 As shown, the two ends of the first support segment 321 are connected to the positioning and mounting part 31 and the second support segment 322, respectively. The first support segment 321 is bent relative to the positioning and mounting part 31 and extends towards the support block 21. The second support segment 322 is bent relative to the first support segment 321 and extends away from the support block 21. When the protective cover 20 is rotated to the closed position, the support block 21 presses the second support segment 322, so that the second support segment 322 and the first support segment 321 are in an elastic deformation state. The elastic restoring force of the second support segment 322 and the first support segment 321 acts on the support block 21 to restrict the support block 21 from rotating the protective cover 20 towards the open position. This achieves the goal of locking the protective cover 20 in the closed position to protect the plug interface 11 and the interface seat 201, ensuring stable and reliable protection.

[0042] Understandably, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, when the interface socket 201 needs to be used, the user manually flips open the protective cover 20 to overcome the elastic force of the second support section 322 and the first support section 321, thereby releasing the swing lock of the second support section 322 on the support block 21. When the support block 21 swings to any angle, it abuts against and presses the second support section 322, so that the elastic restoring force of the second support section 322 and the first support section 321 acts on the support block 21 to support the support block 21. This allows the support block 21 to stably support the protective cover 20 at any opening angle, making it convenient for the user to insert the type-c connector or TF memory card into the corresponding interface socket 201. The interface protection structure 100 can also open the protective cover 20 in a small space and keep the protective cover 20 in a suitable open position, making it flexible and convenient to use and improving the opening and closing feel.

[0043] Furthermore, such as Figure 6As shown, the protective flip cover 20 has a support protrusion 25 at one end near the support block 21. When the protective flip cover 20 is rotated to the maximum opening angle relative to the mounting bracket 10, both the support protrusion 25 and the support block 21 abut against the second support section 322. The elastic restoring forces of the second support section 322 and the first support section 321 work together on the support protrusion 25 and the support block 21 to stably support the protective flip cover 20 to maintain it at the maximum opening angle, ensuring stable and reliable support.

[0044] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the interface component 200 includes two interface sockets 201, which are respectively designated as a type-c interface socket 201a and a TF card interface socket 201b. The mounting bracket 10 has two insertion interfaces 11, which are respectively configured to correspond one-to-one with the type-c interface socket 201a and the TF card interface socket 201b, so as to facilitate users to insert the type-c connector and the TF memory card. The structure has a high degree of integration and is flexible and convenient to use.

[0045] In this embodiment of the utility model, the mounting bracket 10 includes a panel 12 and a mounting plate 13. The mounting plate 13 is disposed on one side of the panel 12 and is used for mounting the interface assembly 200. The panel 12 has a mounting port 121 and a plug interface 11. The positioning mounting part 31 is disposed on the mounting plate 13 and passes through the mounting port 121. The protective flip cover 20, the first support section 321 and the second support section 322 are all disposed on the side of the panel 12 facing away from the mounting plate 13.

[0046] like Figure 7 and Figure 9 As shown, a mounting plate 13 is provided on one side of the panel 12, and a protective flip cover 20 is provided on the other side of the panel 12. An interface component 200 is installed on the mounting plate 13, which improves the installation stability and convenience of the interface component 200. A plug-in interface 11 is provided on the panel 12 at the position corresponding to the interface socket 201, so that the user can use the interface socket 201 by plugging in the interface 11. The plugging is convenient and quick. The panel 12 also serves to protect the interface component 200, improving the reliability of protection. In addition, the positioning mounting part 31 is installed on the mounting plate 13, which reduces the assembly difficulty and makes the assembly convenient and quick. The positioning mounting part 31 is set through the mounting port 121 to connect the first support section 321 and the second support section 322, so that the second support section 322 can abut against the support block 21 to stably support the protective flip cover 20. The structural design is reasonable. The panel 12 also serves to cover the positioning mounting part 31, the interface component 200 and the mounting plate 13, improving the appearance.

[0047] In this embodiment of the utility model, the protective assembly further includes a hinge base 40, which includes a mounting plate 41 and a hinge post 42. The mounting plate 41 is disposed on the panel 12, and the hinge post 42 is connected to the mounting plate 41. The protective flip cover 20 is provided with a hinge ring 22, and the hinge post 42 passes through the hinge ring 22. Figure 3 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, a mounting plate 41 is provided on the side of the panel 12 facing away from the mounting plate 13. A hinge post 42 is provided on the mounting plate 41. The hinge ring 22 on the protective flip cover 20 is sleeved on the hinge post 42 so that the protective flip cover 20 can swing relative to the panel 12 between the closed position and the open position, thereby improving the smoothness of the swing.

[0048] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 7 As shown, the number of hinge seats 40 is set to at least two. At least two hinge seats 40 are spaced apart on the panel 12 along the extension direction of the protective cover 20. The number of hinge rings 22 is the same as the number of hinge seats 40 and they are fitted onto the hinge posts 42 one by one, which improves the connection stability between the protective cover 20 and the panel 12 and further improves the smoothness of the swing.

[0049] In this embodiment of the present invention, a receiving groove 122 is provided on the side of the panel 12 facing away from the mounting plate 13. The mounting opening 121 and the insertion interface 11 are both located on the bottom wall of the receiving groove 122. The mounting piece 41 is disposed on the bottom wall of the receiving groove 122, and the hinge post 42, the first support section 321, and the second support section 322 are all located within the receiving groove 122. Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 9 As shown, the hinge ring 22 is sleeved on the hinge post 42 so that both the hinge ring 22 and the support block 21 extend into the receiving groove 122. The receiving groove 122 serves to accommodate the mounting piece 41, the hinge post 42, the first support section 321, the second support section 322, the hinge ring 22, and the support block 21, which improves the appearance and reduces the space occupied by the protective flip cover 20 in the open position, further improving the convenience of opening the protective flip cover 20 in narrow spaces.

[0050] Furthermore, the hinge post 42 includes a limiting section 421 and a hinge section 422. The limiting section 421 is connected to the mounting plate 41, and the hinge section 422 is connected to the limiting section 421 and passes through the hinge ring 22. The hinge ring 22 abuts against the limiting section 421. Figure 8As shown, the hinge ring 22 is sleeved on the hinge section 422 so that the protective cover 20 can swing relative to the panel 12, realizing the opening or closing of the protective cover 20. The limiting section 421 abuts against the hinge ring 22 to limit the installation position of the protective cover 20, prevent the protective cover 20 from falling off the panel 12, and improve the assembly stability.

[0051] In this embodiment of the present invention, a first mounting groove 1221 is provided on the bottom wall of the receiving groove 122, a mounting piece 41 is disposed in the first mounting groove 1221, and a first positioning post 411 is provided on the mounting piece 41. A first positioning hole 1222 for the first positioning post 411 to extend into is provided on the bottom wall of the first mounting groove 1221. Figures 7 to 9 As shown, the mounting piece 41 is installed in the first mounting groove 1221 so that the mounting piece 41 is flush with the groove opening of the first mounting groove 1221 or recessed relative to the groove opening of the first mounting groove 1221, which improves the appearance of the protective flip cover 20 when it is in the open position. The first positioning post 411 extends into the first positioning hole 1222 to play the role of positioning and installing the hinge seat 40, which improves the assembly stability and convenience.

[0052] In this embodiment of the present invention, a second mounting groove 131 is provided on the mounting plate 13, the mounting opening 121 communicates with the second mounting groove 131, the positioning mounting part 31 is provided in the second mounting groove 131, and a second positioning post 132 is provided on the bottom wall of the second mounting groove 131. A second positioning hole 311 is provided on the positioning mounting part 31 for the second positioning post 132 to extend into. Figure 7 As shown, the positioning mounting part 31 is installed in the second mounting groove 131, and the second positioning post 132 extends into the second positioning hole 311 to position the positioning mounting part 31 in the second mounting groove 131. This ensures that the first support section 321 and the second support section 322 can be set to correspond to the support block 21 and provide stable support for the support block 21, thereby improving assembly accuracy, assembly stability and assembly convenience.

[0053] In this embodiment of the invention, the elastic support portion 32 further includes a protective section 323, which is arc-shaped and connected to the end of the second support portion 322 that is away from the first support portion 321. Figures 4 to 6 As shown, the protective section 323 is bent in the direction away from the protective flip cover 20 and is arranged in an arc shape. The protective section 323 can prevent the second support section 322 from scratching the support block 21 and the protective flip cover 20, and plays the role of protecting the support block 21 and the protective flip cover 20, and improves the appearance of the protective flip cover 20 in the open position.

[0054] In this embodiment of the utility model, the protective flip cover 20 includes a main body 23 and an overlapping part 24. The main body 23 is rotatably mounted on the mounting bracket 10. The overlapping part 24 is connected to the main body 23 and bent relative to the main body 23. The mounting bracket 10 is provided with a relief groove 123 for accommodating the main body 23 and the overlapping part 24.

[0055] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, one end of the main body 23 is provided with a hinge ring 22 and a support block 21, and the other end of the main body 23 is connected to the overlapping part 24. The overlapping part 24 is bent towards the panel 12. The panel 12 is provided with a relief groove 123. When the protective cover 20 is rotated to the closed position, both the main body 23 and the overlapping part 24 of the protective cover 20 extend into the relief groove 123. The relief groove 123 serves to accommodate the main body 23 and the overlapping part 24, which improves the appearance. In addition, the overlapping part 24 is bent so that the user can open the protective cover 20 from the side of the panel 12, which improves the ease of use.

[0056] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the protective flip cover 20 can be made of stainless steel. The stainless steel protective flip cover 20 has high strength and hardness, ensuring that the protective flip cover 20 will not deform when the thickness is small, saving space and improving structural stability. Furthermore, the elastic support piece 30 can be made of spring steel, which has high tensile strength and elastic limit. It can withstand large external forces and deformations without easily breaking or losing elasticity, thus improving the support stability of the support block 21.

[0057] In this embodiment of the utility model, the protective component further includes a protective shell 50, which is connected to the mounting bracket 10 and forms an accommodating space 51. The interface main board 202 of the interface component 200 is disposed on the mounting bracket 10 and located within the accommodating space 51. The interface socket 201 is disposed on the interface main board 202 and electrically connected to the interface main board 202.

The interface motherboard 202 is located in the accommodating space 51 and connected to the mounting bracket 10. The protective shell 50 serves to protect the interface motherboard 202 and the interface socket 201, and also improves the appearance.

[0058] Furthermore, the mounting plate 13 is provided with a connecting post 133, which passes through the interface main board 202 and the protective shell 50 and is used to connect with the fastener 134. The protective shell 50 and the panel 12 form an accommodating space 51. Figures 1 to 3As shown, when assembling the interface protection structure 100, the hinge post 42 is first inserted into the corresponding hinge ring 22 to connect the hinge seat 40 and the protective flip cover 20. Then, the mounting piece 41 is connected into the first mounting groove 1221. The first positioning post 411 and the first positioning hole 1222 cooperate to improve assembly accuracy, effectively preventing the mounting piece 41 from being misaligned and improving the smoothness of the protective flip cover 20's rotation. The positioning mounting part 31 is then inserted through the mounting opening 121 into the second mounting groove 131. The second positioning post 132 and the second positioning hole 311 cooperate to improve assembly accuracy and effectively prevent the first support section 321 and the first... The second support section 322 is installed at an angle, which improves the support stability of the support block 21.
