Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of image processing technology, specifically to a scanner charging base and a scanner. Background Technology
[0002] As an external image acquisition device, the core function of a scanner is to convert physical media into digital image data through precise photoelectric conversion technology. The scanner's built-in dedicated processor will execute algorithms such as color correction, gamma adjustment, and dynamic range optimization to process the acquired image data in order to meet the needs of subsequent analysis, modeling, and manufacturing.
[0003] A scanner charging dock is a device used to charge and place a scanner. The scanner will automatically charge when placed in it, ensuring that the device is always powered and protecting the scanner from sudden shutdown due to insufficient power. Some charging docks also have data transmission functions, which can transfer the scanned data from the scanner to devices such as computers.
[0004] However, the charging contacts on the scanner charging base are prone to dust accumulation due to long-term use. When the dust forms an insulating layer between the metal contacts, it increases the contact resistance, causing overheating during charging and even triggering arc discharge. This results in the scanner being unable to complete data synchronization through the charging base, and may also trigger a protective shutdown due to power supply system abnormalities, causing image data loss and seriously affecting the continuity of image acquisition. Therefore, a scanner charging base and scanner are proposed to address the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0037] 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.
[0038] It should be noted that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the exemplary embodiments according to this application. As used herein, the singular form is intended to include the plural form as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. Furthermore, it should be understood that when the terms "comprising" and / or "including" are used in this specification, they indicate the presence of features, steps, operations, devices, components, and / or combinations thereof.
[0039] Please see Figures 1-13 This utility model provides a technical solution:
[0040] A scanner charging base and scanner, including a 3D scanner body 1, with a pin 2 fixedly connected to the bottom of the 3D scanner body 1, the pin 2 being insertable into a charging base mechanism 3, the charging base mechanism 3 including a base platform 31, a placement groove 32 formed at the upper end of the base platform 31, a pressure plate 33 slidably connected to the inner side of the placement groove 32, a connecting component 35 fixedly connected to an airbag assembly 34 on the inner side of the base platform 31, a slot mechanism 36 formed at the upper end of the base platform 31, a columnar groove 38 formed on the inner side of the base platform 31, a support spring 39 fixedly connected to the bottom end of the pressure plate 33, the connecting component 35 including a metal tube 351, an inner support frame 352 fixedly connected to the inner side of the metal tube 351, an inner spring 353 inserted and fixedly fixed inside the inner support frame 352, the inner spring... A piston block 354 is fixedly connected to the upper end of 353. A magnetic ring 355 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the piston block 354. A conductive rod 356 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the piston block 354. A conductive block 357 is embedded in the side of the magnetic ring 355 close to the metal tube 351. A sleeve assembly 358 is sleeved on the outside of the metal tube 351. An inter-tube hole 359 is opened on the outside of the metal tube 351. The sleeve assembly 358 includes a fixing ring 3581. A connecting spring 3582 is fixedly connected to the outside of the fixing ring 3581. A magnetic block 3583 is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting spring 3582 away from the fixing ring 3581. A contact rod 3584 is fixedly connected to the side of the magnetic block 3583 close to the fixing ring 3581. A wire 3585 is fixedly connected to the side of the magnetic block 3583 away from the fixing ring 3581.
[0041] As a further implementation of this solution, an airbag assembly 34 is fixedly connected to the base platform 31 below the pressure plate 33. The airbag assembly 34 includes a rubber airbag ring 341, an air guide tube 342 is fixedly connected to the outside of the rubber airbag ring 341, and a perforated block 343 is fixedly connected to the end of the air guide tube 342 away from the rubber airbag ring 341. A connecting hole 344 is opened at the upper end of the perforated block 343. The upper part of the rubber airbag ring 341 is set inside the placement groove 32. The inner diameter of the ring 341 is 1.3 times the diameter of the columnar groove 38. The perforated block 343 has a cavity on its inner side. The inner diameter of the connecting hole 344 is the same as the outer diameter of the metal tube 351. The setting position and diameter of the rubber airbag ring 341 ensure that it can not only ensure the stability of its own structure and prevent it from entering the columnar groove 38, but also be squeezed by the pressure plate 33 in the placement groove 32. The cavity on the inner side of the perforated block 343 allows the gas to flow and redistribute more evenly after entering.
[0042] As a further implementation of this scheme, the height of the inner spring 353 is twice the height of the inner support frame 352; the outer side of the piston block 354 is in close contact with the inner side of the metal tube 351; the outer diameter of the magnetic ring 355 is nine-tenths of the inner diameter of the metal tube 351; the central axis of the conductive rod 356 is on the same vertical line as the central axis of the metal tube 351; the height of the conductive block 357 is four-fifths of the height of the inter-tube hole 359; the fixing ring 3581 is fixed to the metal tube 351; the magnetic block 3583 and the magnetic ring 355 are magnetically attracted to each other; the contact rod 3584 is matched with the inter-tube hole 359; the inner support frame 352 provides support for the inner spring 353 while also ensuring the height of the inner spring 353. 3. With sufficient deformation space, the design of the piston block 354 and the metal tube 351 being tightly fitted can prevent gas from leaking between them, and also make the piston block 354 slide up and down more stably in the metal tube 351. The design of the outer diameter of the magnetic ring 355 being smaller than the inner diameter of the metal tube 351 can avoid demagnetization after friction between the magnetic ring 355 and the metal tube 351. The design of the height of the conductive block 357 being four-fifths of the height of the tube hole 359 allows for a certain deviation when the conductive block 357 and the tube hole 359 are aligned. When the magnetic block 3583 and the magnetic ring 355 are close to each other, the contact rod 3584 will contact the conductive block 357, thereby ensuring current transmission.
[0043] As a further implementation of this solution, the slot mechanism 36 includes a strip hole 361, a limiting rod 362 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the strip hole 361, a square groove 363 is provided below the strip hole 361, an installation hole 364 is provided at the bottom of the inner side of the square groove 363, and a conical groove 365 is provided at the bottom of the inner side of the square groove 363. The shape of the conical groove 365 is adapted to the shape of the insert post 2. The setting of the limiting rod 362 can make the movement of the component in the square groove 363 more stable. The setting of the conical groove 365 can accurately position the insert post 2 and enter the slot mechanism 36.
[0044] As a further implementation of this solution, a clamping plate assembly 37 is slidably connected to the inner side of the card slot mechanism 36. The clamping plate assembly 37 includes magnetic strips 371. The magnetic strips 371 are arranged in pairs and are magnetically attracted to each other. An arc groove 372 is opened on the side of the magnetic strip 371 close to the corresponding other magnetic strip 371, and a positioning groove 373 is opened on the side of the magnetic strip 371 close to the corresponding other magnetic strip 371. The setting of the magnetic strips 371 enables the clamping plate assembly 37 to have an automatic reset function. The positioning groove 373 and other components cooperate to ensure the accuracy of magnetic strip 371 adsorption and closure.
[0045] A scanner comprising a scanner charging dock as described in any one of the preceding claims.
[0046] Workflow: When in use, the 3D scanner body 1 is moved and placed onto the charging base mechanism 3. The placement slot 32 is aligned with the bottom of the 3D scanner body 1 to ensure stable placement. During this process, the bottom of the 3D scanner body 1 applies downward pressure to the pressure plate 33, causing it to move downwards and compress the support spring 39, causing it to deform. After the pressure plate 33 has moved a certain distance, it will contact the airbag assembly 34. At this point, the upper part of the rubber airbag ring 341 will be compressed, and the air inside will be transported through the air guide tube 342 to the perforated block 343. Air is fed into the metal tube 351 through the connecting hole 344 at the upper end of the perforated block 343. The air entering the metal tube 351 exerts a force on the piston block 354, which transmits the force to the magnetic ring 355 and the conductive rod 356 fixedly connected to it. At the same time, as the insertion post 2 fixedly connected to the 3D scanner body 1 moves downward and passes through the arc groove 372 on one side of the magnetic strip 371, the compression of the magnetic strip 371 by the insertion post 2 causes the two magnetic strips 371 that are attracted to each other to separate to both sides. Part of the limiting rod 362 is engaged in the positioning groove 373 to ensure the stability of the movement of the magnetic strip 371. When the two magnetic strips 371 are separated by a certain distance, the magnetic strip 371... 71 is no longer in contact with the upper end of the metal tube 351 set in the mounting hole 364, and the conductive rod 356 is no longer restricted by the magnetic strip 371. It will be pushed upward by the piston block 354 together with the magnetic ring 355. The upward movement of the magnetic ring 355 drives the conductive block 357 to move upward. When the conductive block 357 moves to the inside of the fixed ring 3581, it will generate a magnetic attraction force on the magnetic block 3583, causing the magnetic block 3583 to squeeze the connecting spring 3582 and drive the contact rod 3584 to pass through the tube hole 359 and fit against the conductive block 357. At this time, the current generated inside the base platform 31 will flow through the wire 3585, magnetic block 3583, contact rod 3584, conductive block 357 and magnetic ring 355 into the 3D scanner body 1. Input is used to charge the 3D scanner body 1. Before the two magnetic strips 371 that are attracted to each other separate, they are tightly covered on the upper end of the metal tube 351 by the limit rod 362. The piston block 354 moves upward, which compresses the air in the upper part of the metal tube 351 to the bottom of the magnetic strips 371. When the two magnetic strips 371 that are attracted to each other separate, this part of the air is released. When this part of the air flows, it blows away the dust on the surface of the conductive rod 356, ensuring the cleanliness of the surface of the conductive rod 356. This prevents the conductive rod 356 from making abnormal contact with the 3D scanner body 1 due to dust cover, which would increase the resistance and cause the 3D scanner body 1 to overheat during charging, thereby damaging the 3D scanner body 1 and causing image data loss.
