[0002] Virtual reality (VR) technology is a computer simulation system that creates and allows users to experience virtual worlds. It uses computers to generate a simulated environment, immersing users in it. VR technology utilizes real-world data, generating electronic signals through computer technology, and combining this with various output devices to transform it into phenomena that people can perceive. These phenomena can be real objects or substances invisible to the naked eye, represented through three-dimensional models. Because these phenomena are not directly visible to us but rather simulated through computer technology, it is called virtual reality.
[0003] Spatial computing utilizes technologies such as computer vision to create interactive 3D representations of environments. By analyzing visual data, computer vision can interpret the geometry and layout of physical spaces. Other technologies, such as Gaussian splashing and neural radiation fields (NeRF), can rapidly reconstruct 3D scenes for visualization and analysis. Generative AI (including diffusion models) can convert 2D images into 3D animations, enhancing the integration of digital content with the real world.

[0024] 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.
[0025] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1 to 5 The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail.
[0026] Depend on Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this utility model includes a wearable frame 1 and a scanning device 2. In order to facilitate the wearing of scanners by staff of different body types, a mounting plate 3 is detachably connected to the upper side of the wearable frame 1. A fixing plate 4 for fixing the scanning device 2 is provided on the upper side of the mounting plate 3. Multiple connecting plates 5 are connected between the fixing plate 4 and the mounting plate 3. Multiple connecting mechanisms 6 are provided between the mounting plate 3 and the wearable frame 1. Two first extension blocks 7 are fixedly connected to the front side of the wearable frame 1. A first fixing hole 8 is opened in the middle of each first extension block 7.
[0027] It should be noted that the upper side of the mounting plate 4 is fixedly connected to the scanning device 2 by bolts or clips. In this embodiment, the scanning device 2 is a NavVis VLX 3 laser scanner probe, which includes a 32-line LiDAR sensor and four 20-megapixel cameras. It can capture panoramic images through these four cameras. This is existing technology and will not be described in detail here. It should be noted that the mounting plate 3 is set up so that different models and shapes of laser scanning devices 2 can be installed. In practical applications, the staff can install a scanning device 2 with a suitable price and performance on the mounting plate 3 according to the actual scanning needs and budget to meet the scanning work requirements.
[0028] Furthermore, by Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in order to better fix the scanning device 2, the wearable frame 1 includes an arc-shaped plate 9 and two extension plates 10. Each extension plate 10 is arc-shaped, allowing the operator's head to move freely backward. The two extension plates 10 are fixedly connected to the lower side of the arc-shaped plate 9. Each extension plate 10 has a second extension block 11 fixedly connected to the side away from the first extension block 7. A weight-reducing groove 12 is provided in the middle of the extension plate 10. By setting the second extension block 11, the force-bearing position of the extension plate 10 located on the operator's back can be more inclined to the center of the operator's back, thereby improving the stability of the support.
[0029] It should be noted that the wearable frame 1 can be made in various models according to actual needs, so that it can be used by staff with different shoulder widths and body shapes.
[0030] It should be noted that the lower side of the first extension block 7 is fixedly connected with a shock-absorbing sponge, which can reduce the pressure of the device on the shoulders of the staff.
[0031] In use, the mounting plate 3 can be connected to the upper side of the wearable frame 1 through the connecting mechanism 6, thus completing the connection between the scanning device 2 and the wearable frame 1. The staff can place the wearable frame 1 directly on the upper side of their shoulders, so that the mounting plate 3 is directly above their head, which allows the scanning device 2 to obtain a good scanning angle and field of vision. By setting the first extension block 7, it can better fit the physiological curvature of the staff's shoulders, thereby reducing the staff's discomfort.
[0032] Furthermore, by Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in order to make the device modular and easy to disassemble and assemble, the connecting mechanism 6 includes a first fixing block 13 and a second fixing block 14. The first fixing block 13 is fixedly connected to the lower side of the mounting plate 3, and the second fixing block 14 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the wearable frame 1. A locking block 15 that can move back and forth is provided on the rear side of the first fixing block 13, and a locking groove 16 is provided on the rear side of the second fixing block 14. The locking block 15 and the locking groove 16 cooperate with each other to form a structure in which the first fixing block 13 is fixed relative to the second fixing block 14.
[0033] Furthermore, by Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in order to facilitate operation by the staff, a threaded hole 17 is provided on the rear side of the first fixing block 13, and a threaded rod 18 is connected to the threaded hole 17. The locking block 15 is fixedly connected to the middle of the threaded rod 18. A through groove 19 is provided on the upper side of the second fixing block 14. An operating handle 20 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the threaded rod 18.
[0034] It should be noted that a rotation limit is provided between the threaded rod 18 and the threaded hole 17, so that the threaded rod 18 can only rotate inside the threaded hole 17 and will not fall out of the threaded hole 17 and disengage.
[0035] In use, during the engagement of the wearable frame 1 and the mounting plate 3, the first fixing block 13 can be aligned with the position of the second fixing block 14. Then, the mounting plate 3, carrying the first fixing block 13, is moved downwards to align the positions of the first fixing block 13 and the second fixing block 14. During this process, the middle part of the threaded rod 18 passes through the groove 19, causing the locking block 15 to move to the rear of the slot 16. Then, by rotating the corresponding threaded rod 18 sequentially through the operating handle 20, the locking block 15 can be moved forward. This not only clamps the first fixing block 13 and the second fixing block 14 forward through the threaded engagement, but also limits the longitudinal movement of the locking block 15 through the slot 16, reducing the risk of slippage between the first fixing block 13 and the second fixing block 14 and enhancing the stability of the connection between the mounting plate 3 and the wearable frame 1.
[0036] Furthermore, by Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in order to facilitate signal transmission and operation by the staff, a connector 21 is provided on the rear side of the mounting plate 3, and a placement slot 22 is provided on the rear side of the wearable frame 1. A wire threading slot 23 is connected to each of the left and right sides of the placement slot 22. The end of each wire threading slot 23 away from the placement slot 22 is connected to the front side of the first extension block 7.
[0037] Furthermore, by Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in order to facilitate the staff to debug and use, a cover plate 24 is rotatably connected to the lower rear side of the placement slot 22 via a hinge. The upper part of the cover plate 24 is detachably connected to the placement slot 22 via a plastic buckle structure. Multiple connection slots 25 are provided on the cover plate 24.
[0038] It should be noted that the power connection cable and signal connection cable of the scanning device 2 are connected to the connector 21 through the built-in lines of the mounting plate 3 and the connecting plate 5. In this embodiment, the connector 21 has one RJ45 interface and two USB interfaces. The cable tray 23 also has an Ethernet connection cable and a USB data cable. One end of the Ethernet connection cable and the USB data cable are electrically connected to the connector 21, and the other end extends through the cable tray 23 to the front of the first extension block 7, corresponding to the front of the staff's shoulders, so as to facilitate the connection to the controller and power system that are compatible with the scanning device 2, and facilitate the staff to use it.
[0039] It should be understood that the specific interface configuration of connector 21 should match the interface of scanning device 2. Correspondingly, the cable run through the cable tray 23 should also match the interface of connector 21 and controller so that the communication signal and power supply of scanning device 2 can be transmitted normally.
[0040] When using this utility model, the mounting plate 3 can first be connected to the upper side of the wearable frame 1 through the connecting mechanism 6. At this time, the connection between the scanning device 2 and the wearable frame 1 is completed. The staff can directly place the wearable frame 1 on the upper side of their shoulders, so that the mounting plate 3 is directly above their head, which can enable the scanning device 2 to obtain a good scanning angle and field of vision. By setting the first extension block 7, it can better fit the physiological curvature of the staff's shoulders, thereby reducing the staff's discomfort. After the device is worn, in order to make the device more stable, a fixing strap can be connected between the two first fixing holes 8, or a fixing strap can be connected between the first fixing holes 8 and the weight reduction groove 12 on both the left and right sides, so that the fixing strap can pass through the staff's armpits and fix the entire device on the staff's shoulders, which can make the device more stable.
[0041] This utility model has a novel structure, ingenious design, and simple and convenient operation. Through this design, it is possible to make it easier for staff of different body types to wear the scanner, and it can better fix the scanning device 2. The modular design of the device has been added, which makes it easy to disassemble and assemble, facilitates the operation of staff, facilitates signal transmission and operation, facilitates debugging and use, and increases ergonomic design to reduce the discomfort of staff.
[0042] 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.
