Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of handheld scanner technology, specifically a protective structure for a handheld scanner. Background Technology

[0002] The protective structure of a handheld scanner is a hollow shell designed to protect the device from physical damage, electrostatic interference, and environmental pollution. It typically has an opening at one end to accommodate the scanner and a through-hole at the other end for the lens and cables to pass through. It may integrate an anti-static layer or cushioning material to enhance the protective effect. It is mainly used in industrial inspection, electronic manufacturing, and other scenarios with strict environmental requirements to ensure that the scanner operates stably in sensitive environments such as cleanrooms and extend its service life.

[0003] Currently, handheld scanners are widely used in industrial inspection, electronics manufacturing, and other fields. To prevent damage from accidental drops during use, protective covers are usually installed on their exteriors to provide cushioning and protection.

[0004] However, existing protective structures primarily protect the scanner body, neglecting the specific protection needs of the scanning end. When a handheld scanner is not in use, the scanning end is often exposed, lacking effective protection, making it susceptible to dust and oil contaminants, affecting scanning accuracy. Furthermore, as a precision optical component, the scanning end is highly vulnerable to external impacts or pressure, leading to scratches, breakage, or even malfunction, severely reducing the device's lifespan and stability. Therefore, this paper proposes a protective structure for handheld scanners to address the aforementioned problems. Utility Model Content
