Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model provides a durable barcode scanner, and particularly relates to a durable barcode scanner with a shock-absorbing housing structure. Background Technology

[0002] In logistics, warehousing, and retail, barcode scanners are commonly used as barcode identification tools, primarily for quickly and accurately reading barcode information and improving work efficiency. Traditional barcode scanners typically consist of a scanning module, a housing, and a handgrip. The housing directly covers the scanning module for protection, while the handgrip facilitates operation. However, existing barcode scanners have significant drawbacks. Firstly, the housing and scanning module are often rigidly connected, lacking effective cushioning. When the scanner is subjected to collisions or impacts, the force is directly transmitted to the scanning module, causing damage, affecting normal operation, resulting in high repair costs and a short lifespan. Secondly, the housing is often made of ordinary plastic or metal, which, while possessing some strength, performs poorly in terms of impact resistance, shock absorption, and weight reduction, making it difficult to meet the demands of complex and changing working environments, especially in scenarios involving frequent movement and collisions. Utility Model Content

[0003] In order to solve the above problems, this application provides a durable barcode scanner with a shockproof and buffered housing structure, which solves the problem that traditional barcode scanners are prone to damage to the scanning module when subjected to vibration or impact.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a durable barcode scanner with a shockproof and buffered shell structure, including a scanning module body, wherein a bracket structure is movably sleeved at both ends of the scanning module body through a rotating shaft that is fixedly connected, and the bracket structure includes a clamping ring clamped outside the scanning module body, the clamping ring being penetrated by the rotating shaft;

[0005] The clamping ring is equipped with a buffer pad sleeved on the outside of the rotating shaft and a buffer rod located between the scanning module body and the support structure.

[0006] Preferably, the inner sidewall of the clamping ring is provided with an adjustment groove, and the interior of the adjustment groove is connected to a T-shaped connecting rod located between the return springs by a pair of symmetrically distributed return springs.

[0007] Preferably, the connecting rod and the buffer pad are both integrally connected to a connecting plate on the side near the scanning module body, and the connecting plate is provided with mounting holes for installing fixing bolts.

[0008] Preferably, the scanner is made of a lightweight, high-strength composite material. The composite material includes polycarbonate as the main material, with 15%-20% glass fiber and 5%-10% nano-silica particles added by weight. This makes the scanner have a certain strength while reducing the overall weight by 30%-40%, making it easy to hold and use for a long time without being easily damaged.

[0009] Preferably, the grip of the scanner has an ergonomic streamlined arc-shaped structure with several evenly distributed anti-slip ridges on its surface. The spacing between adjacent anti-slip ridges is 2-3 mm, and the end of the grip has a hanging hole with a diameter of 5-8 mm, which makes it convenient for users to carry and fix the scanner and prevent it from falling and being damaged due to unstable grip.

[0010] One or more technical solutions provided in the embodiments of this application have at least the following technical effects or advantages:

[0011] This device uses rotating shafts at both ends of the scanning module body to movably mount a support structure. A buffer pad on the clamping ring is fitted onto the outside of the rotating shaft, and a buffer rod is placed between the scanning module body and the support structure, forming multi-point buffer support. Simultaneously, a T-shaped connecting rod is connected to the adjustment groove inside the clamping ring via a return spring. The connecting rod and the buffer pad are integrated into a connecting plate on the side closest to the scanning module body. When the scanner is subjected to vibration and impact, these structures work together to disperse and buffer the impact force, effectively protecting the scanning module body. This solves the problem of traditional scanners easily damaging the scanning module when subjected to vibration or impact. By providing multi-point buffer support for the scanning module body and utilizing the elastic buffering effect of the return spring, effective shock absorption protection for the scanning module body is achieved.

[0012] Other advantages, objectives and features of this invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will be apparent to those skilled in the art from the following examination or study, or may be taught from the practice of this invention.

[0018] 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.

[0019] It should be noted that the terms "vertical," "horizontal," "up," "down," "left," "right," and similar expressions used in this article are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only possible implementation.

[0020] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains; the terminology used herein in the description of this invention is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the invention; the term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0021] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a durable barcode scanner with a shock-absorbing and buffered housing structure includes a scanning module body 1. Its innovation lies in the fact that a support structure 3 is movably fitted at both ends of the scanning module body 1 via a fixedly connected pivot 2. This support structure 3 consists of a clamping ring 4 that is held outside the scanning module body 1 and penetrated by the pivot 2. A buffer pad 5 is fitted onto the clamping ring 4 outside the pivot 2, and a buffer rod 6 is positioned between the scanning module body 1 and the support structure 3. Furthermore, an adjustment groove 7 is provided on the inner sidewall of the clamping ring 4. The adjustment groove 7 is connected to a T-shaped connecting rod located between the return springs 8 via a pair of symmetrically distributed return springs 8. Simultaneously, the connecting rod and the buffer pad 5 are integrally connected to a connecting plate 9 with mounting holes 10 for mounting bolts on the side closest to the scanning module body 1. All components work together to provide comprehensive shock absorption for the barcode scanner.

[0022] In this embodiment, the scanning module body 1 is movably connected to the support structure 3 via the rotating shaft 2, allowing the support structure 3 to rotate at a certain angle relative to the scanning module body 1 when the scanner is subjected to external impact, thus initially dispersing the impact force. The buffer pad 5 on the clamping ring 4 is fitted outside the rotating shaft 2. When the support structure 3 rotates, the friction between the buffer pad 5 and the rotating shaft 2 further dissipates the impact energy, providing a buffering effect. The buffer rod 6 is located between the scanning module body 1 and the support structure 3. When impacted, the buffer rod 6 undergoes elastic deformation, effectively absorbing and buffering external forces, preventing the impact force from being directly transmitted to the scanning module body 1. The structural design of the adjusting groove 7, the return spring 8, and the T-shaped connecting rod inside the clamping ring 4 allows the connecting rod to move within the adjusting groove 7 and the return spring 8 to undergo elastic deformation when subjected to impact forces from different directions, providing a secondary buffering effect while ensuring the stability and reliability of the structure. The design of the connecting plate 9 and the mounting hole 10 facilitates the fixing of the entire buffer structure to the scanner housing, ensuring a tight fit between all components and enhancing overall stability. Through the ingenious combination of these components, this device achieves all-round protection for the scanning module body 1, effectively solving the problem that traditional barcode scanners are easily damaged when subjected to vibration or impact, greatly improving the service life and reliability of the barcode scanner, reducing maintenance costs, and is particularly suitable for complex and changeable working environments, such as logistics, warehousing and other occasions with frequent movement and easy collisions.

[0023] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a durable barcode scanner with a shock-absorbing shell structure is constructed entirely of a lightweight, high-strength composite material. This composite material is primarily polycarbonate, with 15%-20% glass fiber and 5%-10% nano-silica particles added by weight. This allows the scanner to maintain strength while reducing its overall weight by 30%-40%, facilitating prolonged handheld use and reducing the likelihood of damage. Furthermore, the scanner grip features an ergonomic, streamlined, arc-shaped structure with evenly distributed anti-slip ridges on the surface. The spacing between adjacent anti-slip ridges is 2-3 mm, and the end has a 5-8 mm diameter hanging hole 11. This allows users to easily carry and secure the scanner, effectively preventing drops and damage due to unstable grip, greatly enhancing the scanner's practicality and durability.

[0024] In this implementation scheme, the scanner needs to work with a backend data processing system in practical applications. The scanner transmits barcode information to the data processing system via a wireless module or wired interface. The data processing system stores, analyzes, and processes the scanned information to achieve functions such as inventory management and sales statistics. During installation, first, the rotating shafts 2 at both ends of the scanning module body 1 are passed through the clamping rings 4, allowing the support structure 3 to be movably fitted onto the outside of the scanning module body 1. Then, the buffer pad 5 is fitted onto the outside of the rotating shafts 2, and the buffer rod 6 is installed between the scanning module body 1 and the support structure 3. Next, one end of the connecting rod is connected to the return spring 8, and the other end is fixed to the connecting plate 9. Finally, the entire device is fixed to the outer casing through the mounting holes 10. The outer casing is made of lightweight, high-strength composite material and is connected to the connecting plate 9 using bolts and other fasteners to ensure a tight fit between all components and good shock absorption performance. During use, the operator holds the ergonomically designed grip and presses the trigger switch to start the scanning module. The scanner reads the barcode information and transmits it to the data processing system, completing information collection and processing.

[0025] In one or more feasible embodiments, during actual use, this device may also involve some existing devices or structures, such as circuit boards, batteries, and trigger switches inside the scanner. These components are common configurations in the prior art, used to provide power support and control the activation of the scanning function. In this device, the scanner shell is made of a lightweight, high-strength composite material, specifically polycarbonate as the main material, with 18% glass fiber and 7% nano-silica particles added by weight. This material combination not only has good mechanical strength and toughness, effectively resisting external impacts and reducing the overall weight of the device by about 35%, but also has a certain degree of chemical corrosion resistance, adapting to different working environments. The buffer pad 5 can be made of silicone rubber with good elasticity and wear resistance, with a Shore hardness of about 60A, which can effectively buffer the impact force between the rotating shaft 2 and the support structure 3. The connecting plate 9 and the mounting hole 10 are made of stainless steel to ensure the firmness and durability of the connection and prevent the connection from loosening due to long-term use, thus affecting the buffering effect. By organically combining these existing technologies with the innovative structure of this device, the device can better perform its shock absorption function, extend the service life of the scanner, and improve its reliability in complex environments.

[0026] Although the present invention has been disclosed above with reference to preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any person skilled in the art can make various modifications and alterations without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be determined by the claims.
