Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of logistics and warehousing technology, specifically to a handheld data acquisition terminal handle. Background Technology

[0002] In practical scenarios such as logistics and warehousing, staff often need to use handheld data collection terminals, commonly referred to as PDAs, to perform frequent barcode scanning and data entry. However, in actual operation, holding a PDA normally for scanning does not conform to ergonomic design principles, making it awkward to operate and thus affecting scanning efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a handheld data acquisition terminal handle to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a handheld data acquisition terminal handle, including a mounting base and a handle. The handle is installed in the middle of the bottom end of the mounting base, and a scanning trigger is installed on the top of one side of the handle. A spring contact is provided in the middle of the top end of the mounting base, and limiting buckles are provided at the four corners of the top end of the mounting base. Two of the limiting buckles are provided with locking buckles, and a photographic film buckle is provided on one side of the top end of the mounting base.

[0005] The mounting base is designed to secure the PDA and maintain it at the optimal scanning angle. The scanning trigger is designed to activate scanning simply by pressing it, which is simple, efficient, and ergonomic. The locking mechanism allows for quick installation and removal of the PDA and works in conjunction with the PDA's mounting bracket to ensure that the PDA will not accidentally slide out of the mounting base.

[0006] Preferably, a PDA is slidably connected within the mounting base, and the latch is correspondingly positioned to the bayonet on the PDA surface. The PDA's contacts correspond to the spring contacts. Contact with the PDA's contacts triggers the scanning function. The handle's fore-and-aft position is positioned at the center of the PDA's center of gravity.

[0007] Preferably, the bottom of the handle is provided with a foot pad, and one side of the foot pad is provided with a lanyard opening. The lanyard opening can prevent the handle from accidentally slipping and falling off.

[0008] Preferably, the other side of the handle is provided with an anti-slip texture, which serves to prevent the hand from slipping.

[0009] Preferably, the top of the mounting base is further provided with an installation direction indicator, which is used to indicate the direction in which the PDA is slid in.

[0010] Preferably, the scanning trigger is rotatably connected to the mounting base via a button shaft, one end of the scanning trigger is in contact with a contact switch, and the contact switch is connected to a spring contact via a wire.

[0011] Preferably, the latch is a lateral trigger latch.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] This invention features an optimal grip angle and scanning emission angle, reducing wrist strain. The handle's fore-and-aft position is positioned in the center of the PDA's center of gravity, ensuring a balanced grip and preventing top-heavy handling. The rear of the handle has an anti-slip texture for added palm grip. Installation is secure and convenient, employing a "two-point contact, two-point locking" system; the locking mechanism utilizes a horizontal trigger for easy one-handed operation.

[0021] 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.

[0022] Please see Figure 1-6This utility model provides a handheld data acquisition terminal handle, including a mounting base 1 and a handle 2. The handle 2 is installed in the middle of the bottom end of the mounting base 1. A scanning trigger 4 is installed on the top of one side of the handle 2. A spring contact 6 is provided in the middle of the top end of the mounting base 1. Limiting buckles 11 are provided at the four corners of the top end of the mounting base 1. Two of the limiting buckles 11 are provided with locking buckles 5. A photographing film buckle 7 is provided on one side of the top end of the mounting base 1.

[0023] Specifically, the mounting base 1 is designed to secure the PDA and maintain it at the optimal scanning angle; the scanning trigger 4 is designed to trigger scanning simply by pressing it, which is simple, efficient, and ergonomic; the latch 5 allows for quick mounting and dismounting of the PDA and works in conjunction with the PDA's mounting bracket to ensure that the PDA will not accidentally slide out of the mounting base.

[0024] The PDA is slidably connected inside the mounting base 1, and the latch 5 is set to correspond with the bayonet on the surface of the PDA. The contacts of the PDA are set to correspond with the spring contacts 6. The handle 2 is positioned in the middle of the center of gravity of the PDA.

[0025] Specifically, the handle 2 adopts an ergonomic design, which allows the operator to maintain a comfortable grip and reduce hand fatigue during long-term use.

[0026] The bottom of the handle 2 is provided with a foot pad 3, and a hanging rope opening 8 is provided on one side of the foot pad 3.

[0027] Specifically, the lanyard opening 8 allows operators to hang the handle on their wrist or other positions, making it easy to carry and use, thus improving convenience.

[0028] The other side of the handle 2 has an anti-slip texture 9.

[0029] Specifically, the anti-slip texture 9 increases the friction on the surface of the handle 2, ensuring that the handle will not slip even when the operator uses it in a wet or oily environment, thus improving safety.

[0030] The mounting base 1 also has an installation direction indicator 10 at the center of its top.

[0031] Specifically, the installation direction indicator 10 is used to indicate the direction in which the PDA is slid in.

[0032] The scanning trigger 4 is rotatably connected to the mounting base 1 via a button shaft 12. One end of the scanning trigger 4 is in contact with the contact switch 13, and the contact switch 13 is connected to the spring contact 6 via a wire. The latch 5 is a horizontal trigger latch.

[0033] In this embodiment, the operator first slides the PDA into the mounting base 1 along the installation direction mark 10 until the PDA's contacts align with the spring contacts 6. When it moves to the locking position 5, the locking position 5 will provide clear audible and tactile feedback, indicating that it is properly installed. Next, the operator uses the locking position 5 to fasten it to the corresponding slot on the PDA surface, ensuring the PDA is securely mounted on the mounting base 1. When scanning is required, the operator simply holds the handle 2 with one hand and gently presses the scan trigger 4. The scan trigger 4 rotates via the button shaft 12, and one end contacts the contact switch 13, thereby triggering the spring contacts 6 and activating the PDA's scanning function. When taking a photo, the PDA moves to the photo mode latch 7, and the tail of the PDA will lock into the photo mode latch 7. At this time, the PDA's rear camera can take a photo. The entire operation process is simple and efficient, conforms to ergonomic design, and greatly improves scanning efficiency. Furthermore, when carrying the handle, the operator can hang the handle on their wrist or other positions via the lanyard opening 8 for convenient use.

[0034] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
