[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dictionary translation technology, and in particular to a novel scanning dictionary pen. Background Technology

[0002] Existing scanning dictionary pens can input query content by scanning text or by recording voice to input the content to be searched and translated, and finally display it on the screen and play it out through the speaker to help children learn.

[0003] However, some dictionary pens require two trigger points to be activated simultaneously to start the camera for scanning. This means that the dictionary pen can only be used perpendicular to the scanning medium, which does not conform to the common habit of holding a pen at an angle, and is likely to cause scanning failure. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a new type of scanning dictionary pen, which aims to solve the problem that the dictionary pen can only be used perpendicular to the scanning medium, which does not conform to the habit of ordinary people holding the pen at an angle, and is prone to scanning failure.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a novel scanning dictionary pen, comprising a pen barrel, pen tips on both sides of one side of the pen barrel, a scanning head between the two pen tips, the scanning head being mounted on the pen barrel, a rotating rod inside the pen tips, a roller rotatably connected to the outer wall of the rotating rod, the roller passing through the side of the pen tip away from the pen barrel, two contacts fixedly connected to the side walls at both ends of the rotating rod, a fixing block slidably connected to both ends of the rotating rod, the fixing block being fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the pen tip on the side away from the rotating rod, a first contact fixedly connected to the inner top wall of the fixing block, a spring inside the fixing block, and both the second and first contacts being located inside the spring.

[0023] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0024] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 This utility model provides an embodiment of a novel scanning dictionary pen, comprising a pen barrel 2, with pen tips 9 on both sides of one side of the pen barrel 2, and a scanning head 7 between the two pen tips 9. The scanning head 7 is mounted on the pen barrel 2. A rotating rod 16 is disposed inside the pen tip 9, and a roller 6 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the rotating rod 16. The roller 6 passes through the side of the pen tip 9 away from the pen barrel 2. A second contact 15 is fixedly connected to the side wall at both ends of the rotating rod 16. A fixing block 14 is slidably connected to both ends of the rotating rod 16. The side of the fixing block 14 away from the rotating rod 16 is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the pen tip 9. A first contact 13 is fixedly connected to the inner top wall of the fixing block 14. A spring 17 is disposed inside the fixing block 14, and both the second contact 15 and the first contact 13 are disposed inside the spring 17.

[0025] In this embodiment, Figure 1 The orientation is indicated by the front, back, left, and right sides. The scanning head 7 uses an optical sensor and a light source system. The optical sensor is responsible for capturing image information of the scanning area, while the light source provides sufficient light for scanning to ensure the accuracy and clarity of the scan. This is existing technology. The pen 2 includes a shell, an internal interface, a battery, a microphone, a speaker, and a circuit board, among other parts. The circuit board integrates various chips, resistors, capacitors, and other electronic components. All of the above are existing technologies.

[0026] Specifically, when using this dictionary pen, a common pen-holding posture can be adopted, so that one of the pen tips 9 contacts the book. Gently press and slide the pen tip 9 on the book. When pressing again, the reaction force of the book causes the roller 6 to move upward. The pen tip 9 supports the fixed block 14. Through the sliding connection between the fixed block 14 and the rotating rod 16, the rotating rod 16 is driven to move upward, which in turn drives the second contact 15 to move upward and compresses the spring 17. When the upper side of the second contact 15 contacts the lower side of the first contact 13, a friction is generated between the second contact 15 and the first contact 13. The transmission of an electrical signal activates the scanning head 7, which scans the written text. The rotating rod 16 and roller 6 connect to each other, causing the roller 6 to roll on the text, thus enabling the dictionary pen to scan. When scanning ends, the pen tip 9 no longer contacts the text. Under the action of the spring 17, contact 15 and contact 13 separate, the signal is disconnected, and the scanning head 7 stops scanning. This solves the problem that the dictionary pen can only be used perpendicular to the scanning medium, which does not conform to the habit of ordinary people holding the pen at an angle and easily leads to scanning failure.

[0027] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The pen barrel 2 is slidably connected to the side wall of one end of the pen shell 1. The pen shell 1 is provided with an insert 11. The insert 11 is provided with a motor 12. The output end of the motor 12 is fixedly provided with a cleaning head 10. The side of the scanning head 7 away from the pen barrel 2 is provided inside the cleaning head 10.

[0028] Specifically, after the dictionary pen is finished using, the pen shell 1 is placed on the pen barrel 2 through the sliding connection between the pen barrel 2 and the pen shell 1. The pen shell 1 supports the insert 11, which in turn supports the motor 12. The output of the motor 12 drives the cleaning head 10 to rotate, thereby cleaning the scanning head 7 inside the cleaning head 10, thus realizing the self-cleaning function of the dictionary pen.

[0029] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 One end of the pen barrel 2 has a groove 8, and the outer wall of the insert 11 fits into the inner wall of the groove 8.

[0030] Specifically, the pen shell 1 and the pen barrel 2 are slidably connected, and the groove 8 and the insert 11 are fitted together, so that the inside of the pen shell 1 and one end of the pen barrel 2 are fitted together, thereby protecting the pen barrel 2.

[0031] Reference Figure 1 The pen barrel 2 has a display screen 3 on its upper side.

[0032] Specifically, the display screen 3 is used to display the scanned and recognized text content, translation results, pronunciation, explanation and other information, which is existing technology; the display screen 3 realizes the display function of the dictionary pen.

[0033] Reference Figure 1 A button 4 is provided on one side of the pen barrel 2.

[0034] Specifically, button 4 is used to turn the dictionary pen on and off, and can also be used to switch modes, query history, set parameters, etc., which is existing technology. When using the dictionary pen, the dictionary pen is turned on by pressing button 4, and then other operations can be performed. Alternatively, after turning on the dictionary pen, non-contact scanning can be performed by pressing button 4, thus realizing the function of button 4 controlling the dictionary pen.

[0035] Reference Figure 2 A transparent baffle 5 is provided on the upper side of one end of the pen barrel 2, and the transparent baffle 5 is located on the upper side of the groove 8.

[0036] Specifically, the transparent baffle 5 can prevent dust and foreign objects from entering the scanning head 7, avoiding the impact on the accuracy and clarity of scanning due to dust obstruction or damage from foreign objects, thereby extending the service life of the scanning head 7.

[0037] Reference Figure 5 The lower side of contact 13 and the upper side of fixing block 14 are pre-set at a distance.

[0038] Specifically, the distance between the contact 13 and the fixing block 14 is less than the distance of the outward protrusion of the roller 6. When the contact 13 and the fixing block 14 are in contact, the roller 6 is still in contact with the book and rolls, thus avoiding the possibility of the dictionary pen damaging the book.

[0039] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The display screen 3, button 4, scanning head 7, motor 12, contact 13, contact 2 and pen barrel 2 are all electrically connected.

[0040] Specifically, the dictionary pen is activated by button 4. The scanning head 7 is activated by the contact between contact 13 and contact 15. The scanning head 7 transmits the scanned information to the pen barrel 2 and displays the information on the display screen 3. When the pen shell 1 is closed, the motor 12 is activated by button 4, which drives the cleaning head 10 to clean the scanning head 7, thus realizing the intelligent operation of the dictionary pen.

[0041] Working principle: When using this dictionary pen, press button 4 to activate it, causing the roller 6 on one of the pen tips 9 to contact the paper. Gently press and slide the roller 6 on the paper. When pressed, the reaction force of the paper causes the roller 6 to move upward, which in turn moves the rotating rod 16 upward, causing the second contact 15 to move upward and compressing the spring 17. When the upper side of the second contact 15 contacts the lower side of the first contact 13, an electrical signal is generated between the two contacts and transmitted to the pen body 2. The pen body 2 controls the activation of the scanning head 7 to scan the paper. The rotating rod 16 and the roller 6 are connected by rotation, causing the roller 6 to roll on the paper, thus realizing the scanning function of the dictionary pen. The scanning head 7 transmits the scanned information to the pen body 2, which processes the information and displays it on the display screen 3.

[0042] When scanning ends, the roller 6 disengages from the paper, and under the action of the spring 17, the second contact 15 and the first contact 13 separate, the signal is disconnected, and the scanning head 7 stops scanning. When the dictionary pen is not in contact with the paper, the scanning function can also be started by pressing the button 4. This solves the problem that the dictionary pen can only be used perpendicular to the scanning medium, which does not conform to the habit of ordinary people holding the pen at an angle and is prone to scanning failure.

[0043] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model 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 utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
