Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of book scanning technology, specifically to a book scanning system that does not require disassembling books. Background Technology

[0002] Book scanning is a technology for digitizing bound books, magazines, albums, and other documents. Using specialized scanning equipment, it accurately captures the content of each page as an image or text. After post-processing, it ultimately creates a storable, transmittable, and searchable electronic file. This technology not only preserves the original layout, text and image information, and binding details of the book, but also overcomes the limitations of traditional paper books in terms of preservation, access, and dissemination. It allows for convenient access anytime via computers, mobile phones, and other devices, and enables rapid sharing through the internet.

[0003] Existing book-scanning devices that do not disassemble books mainly fall into the following three categories:

[0004] 1. While high-speed document scanners are excellent and efficient at scanning single sheets of paper, they fail to properly solve the problem of flattening books when scanning entire volumes. They require post-processing software, and the flattening effect of software is far inferior to that of physical flattening.

[0005] 2. Zero-margin scanners can effectively solve the problem of flattening books; however, they can only scan one page at a time, resulting in poor scanning efficiency.

[0006] 3. Fully automatic book scanner: This device can scan without disassembling the book and also has an automatic page-turning function. It has excellent efficiency and scanning quality, but its structure is complex and its price is expensive.

[0007] Given the limitations of the aforementioned devices, a book-scanning system that does not require disassembling books is proposed to address these issues. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0030] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0031] Reference Figures 1-3, an embodiment disclosed by the present utility model: a non-disassembled book binding scanning system, including a support base 1, a card sleeve 2, and a transparent square box 3. The upper end of the support base 1 is open, and an LED light source 4 is provided at the bottom of the opening. The transparent square box 3 is clamped at the upper end. The two side surfaces on the upper side of the transparent square box 3 are used to place books 12, and photographing devices are provided at positions opposite to the books 12 on the two side surfaces at the lower side. The photographing device includes a photographing device and a bracket 9 for fixing the photographing device to the transparent square box 3. A card slot 5 is opened at the top of the inner wall of the support base 1, and the card slot 5 can fix the position of the transparent square box 3, so that the transparent square box 3 can maintain a stable state during use. The card sleeve 2 is clamped at the top of the support base 1, and a light-shielding cover 6 is fixedly connected to the top of the card sleeve 2. A computer 10 is placed on the top of the light-shielding cover 6. The computer 10 is electrically connected to the mobile phone 11 through a data cable. A remote control software (QtScrcpy) is installed in the computer 10 to control the mobile phone, monitor the mobile phone screen, and grasp the picture in the camera viewfinder in real time. Group control can also be achieved, and the shutter of two mobile phones can be controlled simultaneously by pressing the Enter key; the light-shielding cover 6 can block the light irradiated upward by the LED light source 4, so that the light can be gathered between the support base 1 and the light-shielding cover 6, making full use of the light irradiated by the LED light source 4, which is beneficial to improving the clarity of the photograph taken by the mobile phone 11. A through hole 7 is opened on the front surface of the light-shielding cover 6, and the book 12 placed on the top of the transparent square box 3 can be taken down by using the through hole 7 to facilitate turning the page of the book 12. The transparent square box 3 is clamped on the inner wall of the card slot 5, and an open book 12 is placed on the top of the transparent square box 3. The front and back surfaces of the transparent square box 3 are both open structures. The transparent square box 3 can be made of transparent acrylic board or glass material. By using the material and shape of the transparent square box 3, not only can the book 12 be kept open and laid flat on its top, but also the light source of the LED light source 4 can be irradiated on the book 12, enabling two mobile phones 11 to photograph two pages at one time and improving the scanning efficiency. Through holes 8 inclined upward are opened on both the left and right sides of the transparent square box 3, and the through holes 8 can enable the camera or the camera of the mobile phone 11 to clearly photograph the book 12. A bracket 9 is provided on the outer wall of the transparent square box 3. The bracket 9 can use an existing mobile phone bracket or can also adopt the following bracket 9 designed by the present utility model.

[0032] Refer to Figures 4-5 , the bracket 9 includes a fixing block 91, the fixing block 91 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the transparent square box 3, a sliding frame 92 is penetrated and slidably connected to the inner wall of the fixing block 91, the sliding frame 92 is a "匚"-shaped frame structure, and the distance between it and the through hole 8 can be adjusted by sliding the sliding frame 92 to fix the camera or the mobile phone 11. A clamping plate 93 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding frame 92, and the mobile phone 11 for photographing the book 12 is clamped between the clamping plate 93 and the sliding frame 92.

[0033] Refer to Figures 4-5The bracket 9 also includes a threaded sleeve 94, which is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the slide frame 92. The outer wall of the fixing block 91 is rotatably connected to a first threaded rod 95. The end of the first threaded rod 95 away from the fixing block 91 is fixedly connected to a rotating block 96. By rotating the first threaded rod 95 through the rotating block 96, the first threaded rod 95 rotates on the outer wall of the fixing block 91. The first threaded rod 95 is threadedly connected to the threaded sleeve 94. While the first threaded rod 95 is rotating, it can drive the slide frame 92 to slide on the inner wall of the fixing block 91 in conjunction with the threaded sleeve 94 that is threadedly connected to it.

[0034] Reference Figures 4-5 The bracket 9 also includes a threaded block 97, which is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the clamping plate 93. By sliding the clamping plate 93, the rubber pad 910 can be driven to clamp the mobile phone 11 or camera inside the slide frame 92, thereby fixing the mobile phone 11 or camera. The inner wall of the slide frame 92 is rotatably connected to a second threaded rod 98. A knob 99 is fixedly connected to the end of the second threaded rod 98 away from the fixing block 91. By rotating the knob 99, the second threaded rod 98 rotates on the inner wall of the slide frame 92. The second threaded rod 98 is threadedly connected to the threaded block 97. When the second threaded rod 98 rotates, it cooperates with the threaded block 97 connected to it to drive the clamping plate 93 to slide on the inner wall of the slide frame 92.

[0035] Reference Figure 5 Rubber pads 910 are fixedly connected to the side wall of the clamping plate 93 and the inner wall of the sliding frame 92.

[0036] Working principle: By rotating the first threaded rod 95 through the rotating block 96, the first threaded rod 95 rotates on the outer wall of the fixed block 91. At this time, the threaded sleeve 94, which is threadedly connected to it, can drive the sliding frame 92 to slide on the inner wall of the fixed block 91, thereby adjusting the distance between the sliding frame 92 and the through hole 8. Then, align the camera of the mobile phone 11 with the through hole 8, and adjust the sliding frame 92 to a suitable position according to the size of the mobile phone 11, so that the mobile phone 11 is placed between the two sets of rubber pads 910. Then, by rotating the second threaded rod 98 through the knob 99, the second threaded rod 98 rotates on the inner wall of the sliding frame 92. The second threaded rod 98 rotates... Simultaneously, the threaded block 97 connected to it can drive the clamping plate 93 to slide on the inner wall of the slide frame 92, so that the clamping plate 93 drives the rubber pad 910 to gradually approach the mobile phone 11, until the two sets of clamping plates 93 drive the rubber pad 910 to clamp the mobile phone 11 inside the slide frame 92. At this time, the position of the mobile phone 11 can be fixed by using the clamping plate 93 in conjunction with the slide frame 92. Then, turn the book 12 to the page that needs to be scanned, and place the scanned page of the book 12 on the top of the transparent square box 3. At this time, the cameras of the two mobile phones 11 can face the two scanned pages of the book 12, so that the two scanned pages of the book 12 can be photographed.

[0037] Next, insert the transparent box 3, after installing the mobile phone 11 and the book 12, into the slot 5. Then, attach the card sleeve 2 at the bottom of the light shield 6 to the top of the support base 1. Place the computer 10 on top of the light shield 6 for easy access by staff. Turn on the LED light source 4 to illuminate the inside of the support base 1 upwards. The light will pass through the transparent box 3 and illuminate the scanned pages of the book 12 to improve the clarity of the mobile phone 11's image. Connect the mobile phone 11 and the computer 10 with a data cable to transmit the image captured by the mobile phone 11 to the computer 10. Each mobile phone 11 can capture one page, or two pages simultaneously. After each capture, the book 12 can be removed through the opening 7 to turn the pages and capture again, until all pages have been captured.

[0038] like Figure 6-7 As shown, in a more specific application example, the transparent square box, measuring 250*250*300mm with a 5mm thick panel, serves as a place to hold books and secure mobile phones, priced between 100-200 yuan. For clear photography, two Huawei P20 Pro phones were purchased online, with configurations of 6GB RAM + 128GB storage and 40MP cameras, priced between 150-300 yuan each. This model was chosen because it features a Leica lens with 40MP resolution, more than sufficient for scanning books, and secondhand phones are very cheap. Two phone stands with universal joints cost around 15 yuan. A 220V, 20W UFO-shaped light costs 20-30 yuan, providing good illumination; the support base is a trash can, costing 10-20 yuan. A light shield can be made from foam board, wood, plastic, or cardboard boxes, costing 10-20 yuan.
