Optionally, the camera rotates around a pivot, and the distance between the pivot and the plurality of plane parts is the same.

Optionally, a motor is connected to the pivot for driving the pivot to rotate.

Optionally, the opening extends from a front face to a back face of the housing.

Optionally, a light supplementing lamp is included, and the light supplementing lamp and the camera are integrated and rotate simultaneously.

Optionally, an aiming light source to project an aiming pattern, the aiming light source being integrated with the camera.

The application provides a bar code scanner, its characterized in that includes: the camera is accommodated in the shell and can rotate in the shell, so that the camera rotates to a plurality of positions to acquire images through the planes of the scanning window.

Optionally, the camera is pivoted about a pivot axis, the pivot axis being equidistant from the plurality of planes of the scanning window.

Optionally, a motor is connected to the pivot for driving the pivot to rotate.

Detailed Description

For a better understanding of the objects, structures, features, and effects of the present application, reference should be made to the drawings and to the detailed description.

The barcode scanner 100 disclosed in the present application may be a device that can perform barcode scanning, such as PDA (Personal Digital Assistance), a mobile phone, a tablet computer, an intercom, a scanning gun, and the like.

In one embodiment shown in fig. 1 and 2, the barcode scanner 100 is a PDA, the barcode scanner 100 includes a housing 1 for holding, and a display screen 2 is disposed on the front surface of the housing 1, so as to display barcode information collected by the barcode scanner 100. The front end face of the housing 1 is provided with an opening 3, the opening 3 extends from the front end face to the back face of the housing 1, a transparent lens 4 with a polygonal cross section is mounted on the opening 3, so as to form a scanning window 5 with a plurality of planes, and the transparent lens 4 is provided with a plurality of plane parts 6 positioned on a plurality of different planes.

A scan engine 7 is accommodated in the housing 1 and exposed to the scan window 5 for collecting bar codes through the scan window 5. The scanning engine 7 is integrated with a camera 8, a light supplementing lamp 9 and an aiming light source 10, the camera 8 is used for collecting bar code images, the light supplementing lamp 9 is used for providing light for illuminating bar codes, the aiming light source 10 is used for projecting aiming patterns to aim at the bar codes, the scanning engine 7 is accommodated in a bracket 11 made of metal, one end of the bracket 11 is connected with a motor 13 through a pivot 12, the other end of the bracket 11 is connected with an angle sensor 14, the motor 13 drives the pivot 12 to rotate so as to drive the scanning engine 7 to rotate, and the angle sensor 14 monitors and controls the rotation angle of the scanning engine 7; the pivot 12 is set to have equal distances from the plurality of planar portions 6 of the transparent lens 4, so that the distance from the camera 8 to the transparent lens 4 remains unchanged regardless of the angle to which the scan engine 7 is rotated, reducing the adjustment cost.

As can be seen from the figure, the transparent lens 4 is approximately 90 °, so that the scan engine 7 can be rotated from a front direction to a rear direction, that is, the rotation angle of the scan engine 7 is 0-90 °, which greatly improves the rotation angle of the scan engine 7 and meets the requirements of different users for different rotation angles. The rotation angle of the scan engine 7 may be changed stepwise between 0 ° and 90 °, i.e. the scan engine 7 may be rotated by a specific angle, such as 0 °, 20 °, 45 °, 65 °, 90 °, etc., and the different rotation angles may cause the camera 8 to face one of the planar portions 6, so that an image is acquired through the planar portion 6 without worrying about distortion of the barcode image by the transparent lens 4.

In other embodiments, the camera 8 and the light-compensating lamp 9 may not be integrated, but may be provided separately; or only the camera 8 is rotatable, but other elements (such as the light compensating lamps 9) are not rotatable, so that a plurality of light compensating lamps 9 with different light emitting angles can be arranged, when the camera 8 rotates to a certain angle, the corresponding light compensating lamps 9 are started, and of course, all the light compensating lamps 9 can be started on the premise of neglecting power consumption.

The bar code scanner has the following beneficial effects:

according to the bar code scanner 100, through the arrangement of the transparent lens 4 with the plurality of plane parts 6, when the camera 8 rotates to different angles, images can be acquired through the different plane parts 6, so that the rotation angle of the camera 8 can be increased; and because the volume of the parts needing to be rotated is small, the volume of the whole bar code scanner 100 is reduced and the reliability of the bar code scanner 100 is improved on the premise of increasing the rotation angle of the camera 8.

According to the bar code scanner 100, the scanning window 5 with a plurality of planes is arranged, so that when the camera 8 rotates to different angles, images can be acquired through different planes of the scanning window 5, and the rotation angle of the camera 8 can be increased; and because the volume of the parts needing to be rotated is small, the volume of the whole bar code scanner 100 is reduced and the reliability of the bar code scanner 100 is improved on the premise of increasing the rotation angle of the camera 8.

The above detailed description is illustrative of the preferred embodiments of the present application and is not intended to limit the scope of the present application, so that all technical and scientific variations which employ the present utility model are intended to be included within the scope of the present utility model.
