Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of portable data acquisition equipment technology, specifically a drop-proof handheld barcode scanner. Background Technology

[0002] Handheld barcode scanners, as portable data acquisition devices, are widely used in numerous fields such as retail checkout, warehousing and logistics, and manufacturing due to their efficient barcode recognition capabilities. They typically consist of a main structure for holding, a core module responsible for barcode scanning, and related control and communication components. They can quickly convert barcode information into electronic data and transmit it, greatly improving the efficiency of information entry and processing, making them an indispensable tool in modern information management.

[0003] However, in actual use, handheld barcode scanners are prone to accidental drops due to frequent handheld operation. Existing barcode scanners mostly have fixed protective structures, which not only offer limited drop protection and fail to effectively cushion the impact of drops, leading to easy damage to internal precision components, but also make it difficult to disassemble and replace damaged protective structures or scanning modules individually, increasing maintenance costs and time. Furthermore, some barcode scanners are poorly designed in terms of grip comfort and heat dissipation, affecting long-term usability and equipment stability.

[0004] To address this issue, a drop-resistant handheld barcode scanner is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0021] 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.

[0022] Example To achieve the detachable protective structure and the drop-proof capability of the lifting device, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, one embodiment of this utility model provides a drop-proof handheld barcode scanner, including a mounting mechanism 1, a scanning module 3, a protective frame 2, and a shock-absorbing component 4. The mounting mechanism 1 serves as the handheld and basic mounting carrier, the protective frame 2 is the core protective structure, the scanning module 3 is used for barcode scanning operations, and the shock-absorbing component 4 provides drop protection and cushioning; the four components work together in harmony.

[0023] The mounting mechanism 1 includes a mounting frame 11 and a handle 12. The mounting frame 11 and the handle 12 are integrally formed, constituting the basic framework for handheld operation of the barcode scanner. The mounting frame 11 is provided with a first mounting seat 111 and a plug-in protrusion 112. The first mounting seat 111 is used to cooperate with the shock absorption component 4 for installation, providing a connection fulcrum for the shock absorption component 4. The insertion protrusion 112 is used to connect with the scanning module 3. It has symmetrical elastic hooks on both sides. The inner side of the insertion slot 32 of the scanning module 3 has a corresponding matching slot. The insertion protrusion 112 integrates conductive contacts, and the inner side of the insertion slot 32 of the scanning module 3 has a corresponding matching conductive spring. When the scanning module 3 is inserted into the insertion protrusion 112 through the insertion slot 32, the elastic hooks are compressed and contracted. After insertion, the elastic hooks reset and engage in the slot, thus securing the scanning module 3 to the mounting bracket 11. Simultaneously, the conductive contacts and conductive springs are in close contact, achieving electrical connection between the scanning module 3 and the circuitry within the mounting mechanism 1, completing the movable insertion of the scanning module 3. For disassembly, pressing the elastic hooks disengages them from the slots, allowing the scanning module 3 to be removed from the insertion protrusion 112. The handle 12 is equipped with a power switch 121. The outer surface of the handle 12 is provided with anti-slip texture. It is equipped with a lithium battery for powering the scanning module 3 and also integrates Bluetooth and wireless connection devices. The power switch 121 is used to control the connection and disconnection between the scanning module 3 and the lithium battery, thereby controlling the working status of the barcode scanner.

[0024] The protective frame 2 covers the outside of the mounting frame 11 and the scanning module 3. A gap is left between the top of its inner side and the top of the scanning module 3. Several buffer rubber pillars are evenly distributed between the inner wall of the protective frame 2 and the outer wall of the scanning module 3. One end of each buffer rubber pillar is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the protective frame 2, and the other end abuts against the outer wall of the scanning module 3. This prevents direct collision and damage to the protective frame 2 and scanning module 3 when the barcode scanner falls, and also prevents interference during scanning operations. The protective frame 2 is equipped with a second mounting base 21 and heat dissipation holes 22. The second mounting base 21 corresponds to the first mounting base 111 on the mounting frame 11. The two are connected by a shock-absorbing component 4, allowing the protective frame 2 and the mounting mechanism 1 to be elastically installed. The shock-absorbing component 4 can convert the impact force into elastic deformation buffering force when the barcode scanner falls, achieving shock absorption and drop prevention. It also has heat dissipation holes 22 to dissipate internal heat during barcode scanner operation, ensuring stable equipment operation.

[0025] The scanning module 3 is located on the opposite side of the mounting mechanism 1 and the protective frame 2. It is fitted into the mounting frame 11 through the insertion slot 32 and the insertion protrusion 112 on the mounting frame 11. The insertion protrusion 112 and the conductive structure in the insertion slot 32 are used to achieve electrical connection with the circuit in the mounting mechanism 1, so as to complete data transmission and power supply.

[0026] The scanning module 3 is equipped with a scanning window 31 for recognizing barcode information. Because the scanning module 3 is movably inserted into the mounting mechanism 1, it can be quickly disassembled and replaced when the scanning module 3 or the protective frame 2 is partially damaged, improving maintenance convenience.

[0027] Specifically, by setting up an installation mechanism 1, a scanning module 3, a protective frame 2, and a shock-absorbing component 4, the installation mechanism 1 includes a mounting frame 11 and a handle 12. The mounting frame 11 is provided with a first mounting seat 111 and a plug-in protrusion 112. The protective frame 2 is provided with a second mounting seat 21 that is adapted to the first mounting seat 111. The protective frame 2 and the installation mechanism 1 are elastically installed through the shock-absorbing component 4. The scanning module 3 is provided with a plug-in groove 32 and is movably inserted into the plug-in protrusion 112 on the mounting frame 11 through the plug-in groove 32. The scanning module 3 is electrically connected to the installation mechanism 1, which achieves the effects of detachable protective structure, excellent drop resistance, easy component replacement, and improved stability of use.

[0028] The scanning module 3 is movably inserted into the mounting bracket 11 through the insertion slot 32 and the insertion protrusion 112 of the mounting bracket 11, allowing the scanning module 3 to be disassembled and replaced individually, thus solving the problem of inconvenient component replacement. The protective bracket 2 and the mounting mechanism 1 are elastically installed through the shock-absorbing component 4. The elasticity of the shock-absorbing component 4 buffers the impact force when falling, improving the drop resistance and solving the problem of poor drop resistance of existing barcode scanners. The handle 12 of the mounting mechanism 1 provides a comfortable grip for handheld operation. The cooperative structure between the protective bracket 2 and the mounting mechanism 1 also helps the overall stable operation of the equipment, improving the problems of insufficient user comfort and stability.

[0029] When using this utility model, the operator holds the handle 12 and presses the start switch 121. The lithium battery powers the scanning module 3 through the electrical connection structure between the mounting mechanism 1 and the scanning module 3. The scanning module 3 completes the scanning operation through the scanning window 31. Bluetooth and wireless connection devices can transmit data to the background system.

[0030] If the barcode scanner is accidentally dropped, the protective frame 2 will make contact with the ground first. The shock absorption component 4 will use its elastic deformation to buffer the impact force. At the same time, the buffer rubber column between the protective frame 2 and the scanning module 3 will further absorb the lateral impact force, reducing the damage to the installation mechanism 1 and the scanning module 3.

[0031] When the scanning module 3 or the protective frame 2 is damaged due to long-term use or accident, the corresponding parts can be quickly replaced thanks to the plug-in and flexible installation detachable structure, ensuring the continuous use of the equipment, improving its drop resistance and the convenience of later maintenance and replacement.

[0032] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
