Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of information collection equipment technology, specifically to a portable information reader. Background Technology

[0002] An ID card reader is a device that can determine whether an ID card is counterfeit, much like a banknote detector. It can effectively identify the authenticity of an ID card. Second-generation ID cards contain RFID chips. By using a second-generation ID card reader, the information stored in the chip, including name, address, and photo, will be displayed. The second-generation ID card chip uses smart card technology, making it impossible to copy and highly resistant to counterfeiting. With the ID card reader, fake ID cards will have nowhere to hide. The ID card reader uses internationally advanced Type B contactless IC card reading technology. Through an embedded dedicated ID card security control module (SAM), it wirelessly authenticates with the dedicated chip in the second-generation resident ID card, reads the personal information from the chip, and then uploads this information to a computer via a computer communication interface. The reading software installed on the computer decodes this information into text and photos for display and storage.

[0003] Currently, the reader includes a reader body and a data cable connected to the reader body. The reader body has a connection port, and the data cable has a connector at one end. The connector is used to insert into the connection port to connect the data cable to the reader body. Existing readers have large interface tolerances, and frequent plugging and unplugging of the data cable can cause the interface to loosen. Some USB and serial port connectors are not secured by clips or screws, but only by friction. All of these reasons make the data cable easy to fall off due to vibration or pulling. An unstable data cable connection can cause the reading process to be interrupted, resulting in incomplete or failed collection of ID card information, which affects business efficiency.

[0029] The following detailed description illustrates the specific implementation method:

[0030] The reference numerals in the accompanying drawings include: reader body 1, connection port 2, mating groove 3, assembly shell 4, mating plate 5, air cushion 6, rubber ring 7, locking plate 8, limiting shell 9, connecting plate 10, limiting block 11, blocking block 12, guide rod 13, spring 14, connecting end 15, groove 16, positioning groove 17.

[0031] Example

[0032] The basic implementation examples are as follows: Figures 1-7 As shown, Figures 1-3 The portable information reader shown includes a reader body 1 with a connection port 2. A data cable is plugged into the reader body 1 and detachably connected to it. A connection end 15 for inserting into the connection port 2 is provided at the end of the data cable near the reader body 1. A limiting shell 9 is provided between the reader body 1 and the data cable, and a limiting mechanism is provided between the limiting shell 9 and the information reader. The limiting mechanism includes a quick-release component disposed between the limiting shell 9 and the reader body 1, and a connection end 15 disposed between the limiting shell 9 and the connection end 2. The positioning assembly between the heads 15 includes a quick-release assembly comprising a locking plate 8 fixed to the reader body 1, the locking plate 8 being symmetrically arranged on the upper and lower sides of the connection port 2, and a connecting plate 10 fixed to the end of the limiting shell 9 near the connection port 2, the connecting plate 10 being symmetrically arranged on the upper and lower sides of the limiting shell 9 and corresponding to the locking plate 8, the connecting plate 10 having a through slot for the locking plate 8 to pass through, the top of the locking plate 8 being a right-angled trapezoidal block, and both the connecting plate 10 and the locking plate 8 being made of plastic, which can reduce the coefficient of friction between the two.

[0033] When the limiting shell 9 is installed on the reader body 1, by pinching the limiting shell 9, the connecting plate 10 and the locking plate 8 correspond and are pressed to insert the locking plate 8 into the through groove of the connecting plate 10. The right-angled trapezoidal design of the locking plate 8 can achieve one-way locking, automatically locking when inserted, sliding in on the inclined surface and locking on the vertical surface.

[0034] like Figures 3-7As shown, the positioning assembly includes a blocking block 12 disposed on the limiting shell 9 and a positioning groove 17 opened on the connecting end 15. Guide rods 13 are fixedly disposed on both sides of the limiting shell 9 in the direction perpendicular to the axial direction, i.e., the connecting port 2. The guide rods 13 pass through the blocking block 12. The blocking block 12 and the guide rods 13 are slidably disposed relative to each other. In addition, a spring 14 is connected between the guide rods 13 and the blocking block 12. Limiting blocks 11 are disposed on both sides of the inner wall of the limiting shell 9. Grooves 16 are opened on both outer sides of the connecting end 15 for the limiting blocks 11 to be inserted and slid. The two sets of limiting blocks 11 can be adapted to be inserted into the two sets of grooves 16. Positioning grooves 17 are opened on both sides of the connecting end 15 corresponding to the blocking block 12. The ends of the positioning grooves 17 and the blocking block 12 are both arranged in the shape of right-angled trapezoids. The spring 14 is used to push the blocking block 12 into the positioning groove 17.

[0035] The connecting end 15 is movably inserted into the limiting shell 9 via the blocking block 12. The guide rod 13 can linearly limit the movement of the blocking block 12, ensuring its linear movement and preventing deflection and jamming. The spring 14 on the outside of the guide rod 13 provides elastic compressive force to the blocking block 12. When the connecting end 15 moves towards the connecting port 2 inside the limiting shell 9, the blocking block 12 moves linearly in opposite directions on the two sets of guide rods 13 as the connecting end 15 compresses and pushes it. At this time, the spring 14 on the outside of the guide rod 13 is in a state of compressive deformation and energy storage. When the positioning groove 17 on one side of the connecting end 15 is at the same horizontal position as the blocking block 12, the elastic action of the spring 14 on the outside of the guide rod 13 can push the blocking block 12 into the positioning groove 17, thereby achieving axial locking of the connecting end 15.

[0036] When the data cable is connected to the reader body 1, the limiting shell 9 provides a guide channel for the connection end 15. The connection end 15 passes through the limiting shell 9 and is inserted into the connection port 2. The two sets of limiting blocks 11 on the inner wall of the limiting shell 9 can achieve radial positioning by cooperating with the groove 16, ensuring the accuracy of the connection end 15 and the connection port 2. When the positioning groove 17 opened on one side of the connection end 15 and the blocking block 12 are at the same horizontal position, the elasticity of the spring 14 on the outer side of the guide rod 13 can push the blocking block 12 into the positioning groove 17, thereby achieving axial locking of the connection end 15. Through the double locking mechanism, the stability of the connection between the reader and the external data cable can be achieved, avoiding the interruption of the reading process due to vibration or pulling, resulting in incomplete or failed collection of ID card information, which would affect business efficiency.

[0037] like Figures 2-3As shown, it also includes a shock-absorbing mechanism set on the reader body 1. The shock-absorbing mechanism includes an assembly shell 4 and an air cushion 6. The air cushion 6 is set on one side of the assembly shell 4. A number of joint grooves 3 are correspondingly opened on the outer side of the reader body 1. Two sets of joint plates 5 are correspondingly set on the inner wall of each assembly shell 4. The joint plates 5 can be adapted to be inserted into the interior of the joint groove 3. The inner wall of each of the four assembly shells 4 is provided with two sets of joint plates 5, and the joint plates 5 are arc-shaped strips. By adapting the joint plates 5 to the joint grooves 3 opened on the outer side of the reader body 1, the four assembly shells 4 can be positioned and assembled at the four corners of the reader body 1, which facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the assembly shells 4 and the quick replacement of damaged parts. The air cushion 6 set on one side of the assembly shell 4 is used to buffer the impact of drops and absorb energy in multiple directions, effectively extending the service life of the reader body 1. In addition, a rubber ring 7 is fixedly pasted around the outer side of the reader body 1. The thickness of the rubber ring 7 is not less than the thickness of the assembly shell 4. The rubber ring 7 can reduce the wear of the assembly shell 4.
