[0031]
[0003] Currently, dictionary pens on the market generally have a trigger structure at the bottom, which includes a tine, a spring, and a microswitch. When a user presses the dictionary pen against a scanning content, the tine contracts toward the inside of the dictionary pen to trigger the microswitch, and the dictionary pen turns on the scanning function. When the user lifts the dictionary pen, the spring resets the tine by its elastic force, and the dictionary pen turns off the scanning function. As a result, the trigger structure is relatively complex and occupies a relatively large space, which limits the design and development of dictionary pens. The dictionary pens on the market are severely homogenized and offer a relatively uniform user experience.
[0032] As a result, some embodiments of the present application provide a new type of dictionary pen, which can detect the user's pressing action on the tip of the case in real time using a pressure sensor, and can turn the scan function on or off based on the detection data of the pressure sensor.
[0033] To explain the technical solution of the present application, the following detailed description will be given in conjunction with specific drawings and embodiments.
[0034] Example 1 1 and 2, some embodiments of the present application provide a dictionary pen, which includes a case 10 and a pressure sensor 20. An opening 11 penetrating in the vertical direction is provided at the tip of the case 10, and the case 10 has a front wall structure 12 located in front of the opening 11 and two side wall structures 13 located on the left and right sides of the opening 11, respectively. The pressure sensor 20 is provided in the opening 11 and attached to the front wall structure 12 or the side wall structure 13. The pressure sensor 20 is used to detect a user's pressing action on the tip of the case 10, and the dictionary pen can turn a scan function on or off based on the detection data of the pressure sensor 20.
[0035] It should be noted here that the case 10 may have an integrally molded structure or a split-connected structure, but this embodiment is not limited thereto. The case 10 has an opening 11 that penetrates vertically at its tip, and the pressure sensor 20 is installed inside the opening 11. By installing it in this manner, the case 10 can easily protect the pressure sensor 20 from dust, water, and other elements, thereby ensuring the performance and service life of the pressure sensor 20.
[0036] The number of pressure sensors 20 installed is at least one. When one pressure sensor 20 is installed, the pressure sensor 20 may be attached to the front wall structure 12 or the side wall structure 13. When multiple pressure sensors 20 are installed, the multiple pressure sensors 20 may be attached to the front wall structure 12 and / or the side wall structure 13, respectively, and this embodiment is not limited thereto.
[0037] Since the pressure sensor 20 is attached to the front wall structure 12 or the side wall structure 13, when the front wall structure 12 or the side wall structure 13 to which the pressure sensor 20 is attached is subjected to stress and at least a local distortion occurs, the pressure sensor 20 can identify and detect whether the user has pressed the tip of the case 10 by detecting the amount of distortion and the change in the area it covers.
[0038] It should be further explained here that a scan window is formed at the lower port of the opening 11, and the dictionary pen further includes a scan module (not shown) that is signal-connected to the pressure sensor 20. Based on the detection data of the pressure sensor 20, when the pressure sensor 20 identifies and detects that the user has pressed the tip of the case 10, the scan module turns on the scan function, scans through the scan window, and can read the scan content; otherwise, the scan module turns off the scan function.
[0039] Therefore, in the scan pen according to the embodiment of the present application, when a user holds the dictionary pen and presses the tip of the dictionary pen's case 10 against the scan content, the front wall structure 12 applies a pressing force, which is transmitted to the front wall structure 12 and the side wall structure 13, and stress can be applied to at least a portion of the front wall structure 12 or the side wall structure 13 on which the pressure sensor 20 is attached, to generate distortion. Based on this, the pressure sensor 20 can identify and detect whether the user has pressed against the tip of the case 10 by detecting the amount of distortion and changes in the area it covers. Based on the detection data of the pressure sensor 20, the dictionary pen can turn on the scan function when the pressure sensor 20 identifies and detects that the user has pressed against the tip of the case 10; otherwise, the dictionary pen turns off the scan function.
[0040] Therefore, compared with conventional dictionary pens, the dictionary pen according to the embodiments of the present application can significantly simplify the number of parts and structural complexity of the related structure for triggering the on / off of the scanning function of the dictionary pen, significantly save the space occupied by the related structure for triggering the on / off of the scanning function of the dictionary pen, provide more possibilities for the design and development of dictionary pens, and effectively improve the user experience of dictionary pens.
[0041] Referring to Figures 1 and 2, in this embodiment, the pressure sensor 20 is attached to a sidewall structure 13, the sidewall structure 13 has a strain detection area 131, the pressure sensor 20 covers at least a portion of the strain detection area 131, and the strain detection area 131 has a first stress groove 1311.
[0042] According to the installation of this embodiment, when a user holds the dictionary pen and presses the tip of the dictionary pen case 10 against the content to be scanned, the front wall structure 12 applies a pressing force and transmits the pressing force to the side wall structure 13. Then, based on the first stress groove 1311 installed in the strain detection area 131 of the side wall structure 13, the stress is concentrated in the first stress groove 1311 and its vicinity, and the strain detection area 131 receives the concentrated stress, causing concentrated strain in the first stress groove 1311 and its vicinity. As a result, the pressure sensor 20 covering at least a part of the strain detection area 131 can sensitively, reliably and effectively detect the amount of strain and changes in the area it covers, thereby accurately identifying and detecting whether the user has pressed the tip of the case 10.
[0043] In this embodiment, parameters such as the groove depth and groove width of the first stress grooves 1311 are not uniquely limited.
[0044] 1 and 2, in this embodiment, the first stress groove 1311 is formed to extend in the vertical direction and penetrates in the vertical direction.
[0045] By forming the first stress groove 1311 to extend in the vertical direction and installing it to penetrate in the vertical direction, the extension direction of the first stress groove 1311 and the stress direction can be made to intersect and even be perpendicular to each other, which can relatively weaken the structural strength of the first stress groove 1311 and its vicinity in the strain detection area 131 and ensure the structural strength of both the front and rear parts of the first stress groove 1311 in the strain detection area 131. Based on this, stress can be concentrated in the first stress groove 1311 and its vicinity, and the strain detection area 131 can be subjected to concentrated stress, causing concentrated compressive strain in the first stress groove 1311 and its vicinity. This further enables the pressure sensor 20 to more sensitively, reliably, and effectively detect the amount of strain and changes in the situation, and can accurately identify and detect whether the user has pressed the tip of the case 10.
[0046] Of course, in other possible embodiments, the first stress groove 1311 may be formed to extend in other directions, and / or the first stress groove 1311 may be arranged so as not to penetrate in its extending direction, and / or multiple first stress grooves 1311 may be arranged, and multiple first stress grooves 1311 may be arranged to intersect, and this embodiment is not limited thereto.
[0047] 1 and 2, in this embodiment, the side wall structure 13 is an integrally molded structure. By installing it in this manner, the processing of the side wall structure 13 can be facilitated, and the assembly process of the side wall structure 13 can be simplified.
[0048] 1 and 2, in this embodiment, a plurality of pressure sensors 20 are provided, and the plurality of pressure sensors 20 are installed on two side wall structures 13, respectively.
[0049] According to the installation of this embodiment, when a user holds the dictionary pen and presses the tip of the dictionary pen case 10 against the content to be scanned, the front wall structure 12 applies a pressing force and transmits the pressing force to the two side wall structures 13. Then, the multiple pressure sensors 20 installed on each of the two side wall structures 13 can respectively detect the amount of distortion and changes in the corresponding side wall structures 13. Thus, by combining the detection data of the multiple pressure sensors 20, it is possible to accurately identify and detect whether the user has pressed the tip of the case 10.
[0050] 1 and 2, in this embodiment, the pressure sensor 20 is adhered to the front wall structure 12 or the side wall structure 13. Specifically, the pressure sensor 20 may be adhered to the front wall structure 12 or the side wall structure 13 by methods including, but not limited to, double-sided tape 30, adhesive film, dispensed adhesive, adhesive, etc. By installing the pressure sensor 20 in this manner, it is possible to ensure and improve the convenience, reliability, and stability of the connection between the pressure sensor 20 and the front wall structure 12 or the side wall structure 13.
[0051] 1 and 2, in this embodiment, the pressure sensor 20 is a polymer material pressure sensor 20.
[0052] By adopting the above method, the pressure sensor 20 can be given characteristics such as robustness, lightness, softness, flexibility, and impact resistance, and the pressure sensor 20 can be made to detect distortion at the micron level. Furthermore, the usage performance and detection accuracy of the pressure sensor 20 can be guaranteed and improved, and the service life of the pressure sensor 20 can be guaranteed and extended.
[0053] Of course, in other possible embodiments, the pressure sensor 20 may be a piezoresistive pressure sensor, a piezoelectric pressure sensor, a capacitive pressure sensor or other type of sensor.
[0054] In the prior art, because the antennae are movable parts, the conventional dictionary pen cannot be effectively sealed at least by the antennae, which makes it easy for water and dust to enter the conventional dictionary pen, further affecting the usage performance and service life of the conventional dictionary pen.
[0055] In contrast, referring to Figures 1 and 2, in this embodiment, the dictionary pen further includes two glass screens (not shown), which seal and cover the upper and lower ports of the opening 11, respectively.
[0056] By adopting the above solution, the dictionary pen of this embodiment installs the pressure sensor 20 in the opening 11, and then seals and covers the upper and lower ports of the opening 11 with two glass screens, respectively, so that the two glass screens and the case 10 jointly seal the pressure sensor 20 in the internal space. Based on this, the sealing, dustproof and waterproof properties of the dictionary pen can be effectively guaranteed and improved, the usability of the dictionary pen can be effectively guaranteed and improved, and the service life of the dictionary pen can be effectively guaranteed and extended.
[0057] Example 2 The differences between this embodiment and the first embodiment are as follows.
[0058] Referring to FIG. 3, in this embodiment, the sidewall structure 13 includes a sidewall main body 132 and a first structural member 133 attached to the inside of the sidewall main body 132 and forming a strain detection area 131, and the first structural member 133 is provided with at least a portion of a first stress groove 1311.
[0059] By adopting the above method, the side wall main body 132 and the first structural member 133 forming the strain detection area 131 can be molded separately, making it easier to mold the first structural member 133 and the first stress groove 1311. Furthermore, the first structural member 133 can be attached to the inside of the side wall main body 132 by a method such as embedding. In this way, concentrated stress is similarly applied to the strain detection area 131, causing concentrated strain in the first stress groove 1311 and its vicinity. This allows the pressure sensor 20 to detect the amount and change of strain in the strain detection area 131, and to identify and detect whether the user has pressed the tip of the case 10.
[0060] Example 3 The differences between this embodiment and the first embodiment are as follows.
[0061] 4 and 5, in this embodiment, the pressure sensor 20 is attached to the front wall structure 12, which includes a front wall main body 121 and a load-bearing member 122, and a mounting groove 1211 is provided on the front side of the front wall main body 121, and a perforated groove 1212 is provided at the bottom of the mounting groove 1211, the load-bearing member 122 is attached to the mounting groove 1211, and the pressure sensor 20 is attached to the rear side of the load-bearing member 122, with a gap between the pressure sensor 20 and the bottom of the perforated groove 1212.
[0062] It should be noted here that the edge of the load-bearing member 122 is supported by the groove bottom of the mounting groove 1211, and the part of the load-bearing member 122 corresponding to the perforated groove 1212 is suspended, based on which the load-bearing member 122 can form a strain beam that can be subjected to stress and generate strain.
[0063] The pressure sensor 20 is attached to the rear side of the load-bearing member 122, and when the load-bearing member 122 is subjected to stress and distortion, the pressure sensor 20 can detect the amount of distortion and changes in the area it covers, thereby identifying and detecting whether the user has applied pressure to the front end of the case 10. Meanwhile, the gap space between the open groove 1212, particularly the pressure sensor 20 and the bottom of the open groove 1212, can form a deformation space for the load-bearing member 122 and the pressure sensor 20 to deform.
[0064] Therefore, according to the installation of this embodiment, when a user holds the dictionary pen and presses the tip of the dictionary pen's case 10 against the content to be scanned, the load-bearing member 122 will bear the pressing force and will be distorted due to stress. Based on this, the pressure sensor 20 attached to the rear side of the load-bearing member 122 can identify and detect whether the user has pressed the tip of the case 10 by detecting the amount of distortion and changes in the area it covers. Then, based on the detection data of the pressure sensor 20, the dictionary pen can turn on the scan function when the pressure sensor 20 identifies and detects that the user has pressed the tip of the case 10; otherwise, it turns off the scan function.
[0065] 4 and 5, in this embodiment, a second stress groove 1221 is provided on the rear side of the load-bearing member 122.
[0066] By installing the second stress groove 1221 on the rear side of the load-bearing member 122, the structural strength of the second stress groove 1221 and its vicinity of the load-bearing member 122 can be relatively weakened. Based on this, when the load-bearing member 122 applies a pressing force, the stress can be concentrated in the second stress groove 1221 and its vicinity, making it easy to generate concentrated strain in the load-bearing member 122 in the second stress groove 1221 and its vicinity. As a result, the pressure sensor 20 can sensitively, reliably and effectively detect the amount of strain and changes in the area it covers, thereby accurately identifying and detecting whether the user has pressed on the tip of the case 10.
[0067] 4 and 5, in this embodiment, the second stress grooves 1221 are formed to extend in the left-right direction.
[0068] By forming the second stress groove 1221 to extend in the left-right direction, the extension direction of the second stress groove 1221 and the stress direction can be made to intersect and even perpendicular to each other, which relatively weakens the structural strength of the load-bearing member 122 at and near the second stress groove 1221 and ensures the structural strength of the load-bearing member 122 at both the upper and lower parts of the second stress groove 1221. Based on this, stress can be concentrated at and near the second stress groove 1221, so that the load-bearing member 122 is subjected to concentrated stress and concentrated bending strain can be generated at and near the second stress groove 1221. This further enables the pressure sensor 20 to more sensitively, reliably, and effectively detect the amount and change of strain, thereby enabling accurate identification and detection of whether the user has pressed the tip of the case 10.
[0069] Here, in this embodiment, parameters such as the groove depth and groove width of the second stress grooves 1221 are not uniquely limited.
[0070] Of course, in other possible embodiments, the second stress groove 1221 may be arranged to penetrate or not penetrate in its extension direction, and / or the second stress groove 1221 may be formed to extend in other directions, and / or the second stress groove 1221 may be arranged in multiple numbers, and multiple second stress grooves 1221 may be arranged in a crossing manner, and this embodiment is not limited thereto.
[0071] Example 4 The differences between this embodiment and the first embodiment are as follows.
[0072] Referring to Figure 6, in this embodiment, the pressure sensor 20 is attached to the front wall structure 12, which includes a front wall main body 121, a load-bearing member 122, and a second structural member 123. A mounting groove 1211 is provided on the front side of the front wall main body 121, and a perforated groove 1212 is provided at the bottom of the mounting groove 1211. The load-bearing member 122 and the second structural member 123 are both attached to the mounting groove 1211, and the second structural member 123 is attached to the rear side of the load-bearing member 122. The pressure sensor 20 is attached to the rear side of the second structural member 123, and the pressure sensor 20 and the bottom of the perforated groove 1212 are installed at a distance from each other.
[0073] It should be noted here that the edge of the second structural member 123 is supported by the bottom of the mounting groove 1211, and the part of the second structural member 123 corresponding to the openwork groove 1212 is suspended, so that the second structural member 123 can form a strain beam that can generate strain under stress. Here, the second structural member 123 may be, but is not limited to, a steel piece.
[0074] The pressure sensor 20 is attached to the rear side of the second structural member 123, and when stress is applied to the second structural member 123 and distortion occurs, the pressure sensor 20 can identify and detect whether the user has applied pressure to the front end of the case 10 by detecting the amount and change of distortion in the area it covers. Meanwhile, a deformation space can be formed in the open groove 1212, particularly in the gap space between the pressure sensor 20 and the bottom of the open groove 1212, to allow the second structural member 123 and the pressure sensor 20 to deform.
[0075] Therefore, according to the installation of this embodiment, when a user holds the dictionary pen and presses the tip of the dictionary pen case 10 against the content to be scanned, the load-bearing member 122 applies a pressing force and transmits the pressing force to the second structural member 123, and then the second structural member 123 is subjected to stress and distortion occurs. Based on this, the pressure sensor 20 attached to the rear side of the second structural member 123 can identify and detect whether the user has pressed the tip of the case 10 by detecting the amount of distortion and changes in the area it covers. Then, based on the detection data of the pressure sensor 20, the dictionary pen can turn on the scan function when the pressure sensor 20 identifies and detects that the user has pressed the tip of the case 10; otherwise, it turns off the scan function.
[0076] Referring to FIG. 6, in this embodiment, the rear side of the second structural member 123 is provided with a third stress groove 124 .
[0077] By installing the third stress groove 124 on the rear side of the second structural member 123, the structural strength of the second structural member 123 at and around the third stress groove 124 can be relatively weakened. Based on this, when the second structural member 123 is subjected to stress, the stress can be concentrated at and around the third stress groove 124, making it easier for the second structural member 123 to generate concentrated strain at and around the third stress groove 124. As a result, the pressure sensor 20 can sensitively, reliably, and effectively detect the amount and changes in the strain in the area it covers, thereby accurately identifying and detecting whether the user has pressed on the tip of the case 10.
[0078] Referring to FIG. 6, in this embodiment, the third stress groove 124 is formed to extend in the left-right direction.
[0079] By forming the third stress groove 124 to extend in the left-right direction, the extension direction of the third stress groove 124 and the stress direction can be made to intersect and even be perpendicular to each other, which relatively weakens the structural strength of the second structural member 123 at and around the third stress groove 124 and ensures the structural strength of the second structural member 123 at both the upper and lower sides of the third stress groove 124. This allows stress to be concentrated at and around the third stress groove 124, which causes concentrated stress in the second structural member 123 and generates concentrated bending strain at and around the third stress groove 124. This further enables the pressure sensor 20 to more sensitively, reliably, and effectively detect the amount and changes in strain, thereby accurately identifying and detecting whether the user has pressed the front end of the case 10.
[0080] In this embodiment, the parameters of the third stress grooves 124, such as the groove depth and groove width, are not uniquely limited.
[0081] Of course, in other possible embodiments, the third stress groove 124 may be arranged to penetrate or not penetrate in its extension direction, and / or the third stress groove 124 may be formed extending in other directions, and / or multiple third stress grooves 124 may be arranged, and multiple third stress grooves 124 may be arranged crossing each other, and this embodiment is not limited thereto.
[0082] Example 5 Referring to FIG. 7, in this embodiment, the rear side of the load-bearing member 122 is provided with a third stress groove 124 .
[0083] By modifying the third stress groove 124 to be located on the rear side of the load-bearing member 122, the structural strength of the load-bearing member 122 at and around the third stress groove 124 can be relatively weakened. Based on this, when the load-bearing member 122 applies a pressing force, the stress is concentrated at and around the third stress groove 124, making it easier to generate concentrated strain at and around the third stress groove 124 corresponding to the second structural member 123. As a result, the pressure sensor 20 can accurately identify and detect whether the user has pressed on the tip of the case 10 by detecting the amount of strain and changes in the area it covers with high sensitivity, reliability, and effectiveness.
[0084] Example 6 The differences between this embodiment and the first embodiment are as follows.
[0085] Referring to Figure 8, in this embodiment, the pressure sensor 20 is mounted on the front wall structure 12, which includes a front wall main body 121 and a load-bearing member 122. An attachment groove 1211 is opened on the front side of the front wall main body 121, the load-bearing member 122 is attached to the attachment groove 1211, and a fourth stress groove 1213 is provided at the bottom of the attachment groove 1211. The pressure sensor 20 is mounted on the rear side of the front wall main body 121 and installed corresponding to the attachment groove 1211.
[0086] According to the installation of this embodiment, when a user holds the dictionary pen and presses the tip of the dictionary pen case 10 against the content to be scanned, the load-bearing member 122 exerts a pressing force and transmits the pressing force to the bottom of the mounting groove 1211. Then, based on the fourth stress groove 1213 installed at the bottom of the mounting groove 1211, the stress is concentrated in the fourth stress groove 1213 and its vicinity, and the bottom of the mounting groove 1211 is subjected to concentrated stress, thereby generating concentrated strain in the fourth stress groove 1213 and its vicinity. As a result, the pressure sensor 20 installed on the rear side of the front wall main body 121 and installed corresponding to the mounting groove 1211 can sensitively, reliably and effectively detect the amount of strain and changes in the area it covers, thereby accurately identifying and detecting whether the user has pressed the tip of the case 10.
[0087] Here, in this embodiment, parameters such as the groove width of the fourth stress groove 1213 are not uniquely limited.
[0088] Referring to FIG. 8, in this embodiment, the fourth stress groove 1213 is disposed to penetrate in the front-rear direction.
[0089] By installing the fourth stress groove 1213 so that it penetrates in the front-to-rear direction, the bottom of the mounting groove 1211 can hollow out the portion corresponding to the fourth stress groove 1213, thereby weakening the structural strength of the fourth stress groove 1213 and its vicinity at the bottom of the mounting groove 1211 to a relatively large extent. Based on this, stress can be concentrated in the fourth stress groove 1213 and its vicinity, and concentrated stress can be applied to the bottom of the mounting groove 1211, generating concentrated strain in the fourth stress groove 1213 and its vicinity. This further enables the pressure sensor 20 to more sensitively, reliably, and effectively detect the amount of strain and changes in the situation, thereby enabling the pressure sensor 20 to accurately identify and detect whether the user has pressed the tip of the case 10.
[0090] Of course, in other possible embodiments, the fourth stress groove 1213 may be arranged so as not to penetrate in the front-rear direction, and this embodiment is not limited thereto.
[0091] Referring to FIG. 8, in this embodiment, the fourth stress groove 1213 is formed to extend in the left-right direction.
[0092] By forming the fourth stress groove 1213 to extend in the left-right direction, the extension direction of the fourth stress groove 1213 and the stress direction can be made to intersect and even be perpendicular to each other, which relatively weakens the structural strength of the fourth stress groove 1213 and its vicinity at the bottom of the mounting groove 1211, and ensures the structural strength of both the upper and lower parts of the fourth stress groove 1213 at the bottom of the mounting groove 1211. Based on this, stress can be concentrated in and around the fourth stress groove 1213, and concentrated stress at the bottom of the mounting groove 1211 can generate concentrated bending strain in and around the fourth stress groove 1213. This further enables the pressure sensor 20 to detect the amount of strain and changes in the strain with high sensitivity, reliability, and efficiency, and can accurately identify and detect whether the user has pressed the front end of the case 10.
[0093] Of course, in other possible embodiments, the fourth stress groove 1213 may be arranged to penetrate or not penetrate in its extension direction, and / or the fourth stress groove 1213 may be formed extending in other directions, and / or multiple fourth stress grooves 1213 may be arranged, and multiple fourth stress grooves 1213 may be arranged to intersect, and this embodiment is not limited thereto.
[0094] Example 7 Referring to FIG. 4, in this embodiment, the load-bearing member 122 has an arcuate surface 1222 on the front side thereof.
[0095] By adopting the above solution, when a user holds the dictionary pen and presses the tip of the dictionary pen case 10 against the scanning content, the scanning content can be smoothly contacted through the arc surface 1222 on the front side of the load-bearing member 122. Based on this, the risk of scratches and wear on the scanning content caused by the load-bearing member 122 can be effectively reduced, and the usability of the scanning pen can be further ensured and improved.

Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the present application can undergo various modifications and variations. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present application should be included in the scope of the claims of the present application.
