Unless otherwise specified, "plurality" means two or more.

At present, most of the handheld intelligent scanning pens in the related art are simple pen-shaped or straight-bar-shaped, with a relatively simple structure and not easy to carry, and the scanning head of the scanning pen is mostly located at the end, which is very easy to be damaged. In addition, the handheld intelligent scanning pen generally uses a scanning element located at the end of the pen head for scanning, point reading and translation, but the scanning area of the scanning element is limited by the width of the scanning pen, and it is impossible to scan more content at one time.

Based on this, the present application discloses a scanning pen, including a device host 1 and a scanning component 3. The device host 1 is provided with a screen 2 and a first camera 10, and the scanning component 3 is provided with a second camera 30. The user can choose to use the first camera 10 or the second camera 30 for scanning according to personal scanning needs, thereby improving the intelligence of the scanning pen.

The scanning pen of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Please refer to Figures 1 to 12, and specifically, refer to Figures 1 to 6, 8 and 11. The present application provides a scanning pen, including a device host 1 and a scanning component 3. The device host 1 is provided with a screen 2 and a first camera 10; the scanning component 3 is provided with a second camera 30, and the scanning component 3 is movably connected to the device host 1 through a movable component. The scanning component 3 can move relative to the device host 1, so that the scanning component 3 has at least an unfolded state and a stored state; in the stored state, the scanning component 3 is stored in the device host 1; in the unfolded state, the scanning component 3 extends relatively from the device host 1, so that the scanning component 3 is easy to hold and scan.

In this embodiment, the scanning component 3 is movably connected to the device host 1 through a movable component. In the expanded state, the scanning component 3 is relatively extended from the device host 1, and the user's gripping part is set on the extended scanning component 3, so that the scanning component 3 will not squeeze the movable component during the scanning process, which can further reduce the loss of the movable component and improve the durability of the scanning pen; at the same time, it can also reduce the influence of the gripping part on the viewing angle of the screen 2 and improve the reading experience of the screen 2.

Specifically, after the scanning component 3 is extended, the user holds the two sides of the scanning component 3 in the width direction, and the front side of the device host 1 is provided with a screen 2 facing away from the user's hand. The scanning pen includes but is not limited to scanning functions, and can also have other functions such as translation, input, playback, and recording.

The first camera 10 provided in the device host 1 can be used to quickly scan or take photos of large-scale scanned content. When the first camera 10 is used for scanning, the scanning component 3 can be in a stored state or in an unfolded state. The user holds the device host 1 and suspends it above the object to be scanned, and scans or takes photos of the object to be scanned through the first camera 10, so that a large-scale scanned content can be quickly scanned at one time, thereby completing the above-mentioned scanning, translation and other functions.

The second camera 30 provided on the scanning component 3 can be used to scan and input single-line or multi-line scanned content more specifically. When the user has the above-mentioned targeted scanning requirements, the user can unfold the scanning component 3 and use the second camera 30 provided at the end of the scanning component 3 to scan a certain section of the content in the object to be scanned in a single line or in multiple lines, thereby completing the above-mentioned scanning, translation and other functions.

Thus, the scanning pen provided in the embodiment of the present application, the scanning component 3 can be movable relative to the device host 1 and has a storage state and an unfolded state, making the scanning pen more compact and easy to carry. The first camera 10 provided in the device host 1 can be used to quickly scan or take pictures of large scanning contents, and the second camera 30 provided in the scanning component 3 can be used to scan single-line or multi-line scanning contents, thereby meeting the different scanning needs of users and enriching the use scenarios of the scanning pen.

In order to further protect the second camera 30 and improve the durability of the scanning pen, in other embodiments, when the scanning component 3 is in the storage state, the second camera 30 is closed and stored in the device host 1 along with the scanning component 3; when the scanning component 3 is in the unfolded state, the second camera 30 is opened and exposed to the device host 1 along with the scanning component 3.

Specifically, when the scanning component 3 is in the storage state, it means that the user does not need to use the scanning component 3 for scanning temporarily. Storing the second camera 30 in the device host 1 can protect the second camera 30 from damage caused by bumps, falls, etc.

Furthermore, when the scanning component 3 is in the unfolded state, it indicates that the user needs to use the second camera 30 for targeted scanning. The second camera 30 needs to move with the scanning component 3 and be exposed to the device host 1 so that the second camera 30 can scan the object to be scanned for the convenience of the user.

In an optional manner, when the scanning component 3 is extended relative to the device host 1 to be in an unfolded state, the second camera 30 can be automatically turned on. In other words, once the scanning component 3 is switched from the storage state to the unfolded state, the second camera 30 can be automatically turned on, so that the scanning component 3 can be immediately in a state to be scanned. In this way, the user does not need to manually start the second camera 30, which simplifies the user's operation steps and is conducive to improving the user's (especially child users) operation convenience and user experience.

In another optional manner, when the scanning component 3 is stored relative to the device host 1 and is in the storage state, the second camera 30 can be automatically turned off. That is, when the scanning component 3 is stored relative to the device host 1, the second camera 30 can be automatically turned off. This is because when the scanning component 3 is stored relative to the device host 1, the second camera 30 is located in the device host 1, and at this time, the second camera 30 cannot be aimed at the object to be scanned. Therefore, when the scanning component 3 is stored relative to the device host 1, the second camera 30 is automatically turned off, and the user does not need to manually operate to turn it off, which effectively improves the user's convenience and user experience.

When the scanning assembly 3 is extended relative to the device host 1 to be in the unfolded state, the scanning camera can be automatically turned on by, for example, providing a light sensor, an ultrasonic sensor, or a capacitive sensor. The following will take a light sensor (such as a laser sensor) as an example for explanation.

The optical sensor can emit light to detect the state of the scanning component 3 relative to the device host 1. Specifically, when the scanning component 3 is in the storage position, the light emitted by the optical sensor is blocked by the scanning component 3, so that the optical sensor can send an optical signal to the device host 1, and the device host 1 controls the scanning camera to turn off. Similarly, when the scanning component 3 is extended relative to the device host 1 to be in the unfolded state, the light emitted by the optical sensor is not blocked, so that the optical sensor can send a corresponding optical signal to the device host 1, thereby enabling the device host 1 to control the scanning camera to turn on.

In some other embodiments, the device host 1 has a first surface and a second surface opposite to each other, the first surface of the device host 1 is provided with a screen 2 , and the second surface of the device host 1 is provided with a first camera 10 .

Specifically, the device host 1 may include a first surface and a second surface facing each other, the first surface may be provided with a screen 2, the second surface may be provided with a first camera 10, and the first camera 10 is electrically connected to the screen 2. It can be seen that the first camera 10 is a rear camera, and when the user faces the screen 2, the first camera 10 can be used to shoot objects or scenery located at the rear of the screen 2, so that the scanning pen also has a rear camera shooting function, which effectively expands the function of the scanning pen.

In other embodiments, a storage slot 20 is further provided on the second side of the device host 1 ; in the storage state, the scanning component 3 is at least partially stored in the storage slot 20 , and the first camera 10 and the storage slot 20 are arranged along the length direction of the device host 1 .

In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 7, the scanning component 3 can be in a storage state relative to the device host 1, and the scanning component 3 is at least partially stored in the storage slot 20, which can protect the scanning component 3; at the same time, after the scanning component 3 is stored in the storage slot 20 of the device host 1, the scanning pen in the storage state is more compact and easier to carry.

Optionally, the movable component may be a rotating component. The scanning component 3 can be flipped into the storage slot 20 through the movable component. The storage slot 20 can be arranged on the side of the device host 1 away from the screen 2. The scanning component 3 can be flipped along the length direction of the device host 1 and at least partially stored in the storage slot 20.

In a modified embodiment, the storage slot 20 may also be disposed on the left side or the rear side of the device main body 1 , and the scanning component 3 may also be flipped along the width direction of the device main body 1 and stored in the storage slot 20 .

The first camera 10 and the storage slot 20 are arranged side by side along the length direction of the device main body 1, that is, the first camera 10 can be located on the second surface of the device main body 1 near the top position of its length direction, and the storage slot 20 can be located below the first camera 10 along the length direction. In this way, the scanning component 3 will not block the first camera 10 whether it is in the unfolded state or the folded state. In other words, in any case, as long as the user needs to use the first camera 10 for scanning, it can be used at any time without adjusting the state of the scanning component 3, thereby improving the convenience of using the scanning pen.

In addition, by arranging the first camera 10 and the storage slot 20 side by side along the length direction of the device host 1, the space on the second side of the device host 1 can be fully utilized, making the structure of the device host 1 more compact and small.

In order to improve the integration level of the scanning pen, in other embodiments, please refer to Figure 10, the device host 1 includes a mounting groove 40 and a speaker assembly arranged in the mounting groove 40, the speaker assembly includes a speaker shell 50 and a speaker arranged in the speaker shell 50; the speaker shell 50 is also provided with a mounting port 501, and the first camera 10 is arranged in the mounting port 501.

In this embodiment, the installation slot 40 and the storage slot 20 can be arranged along the length direction of the device main body 1, that is, the installation slot 40 can be located on the second surface of the device main body 1 near the top position of its length direction, and the storage slot 20 can be located below the installation slot 40 along the length direction. Arranging the installation slot 40 and the storage slot 20 along the length direction of the device main body 1 can make the structure of the device main body 1 more compact and reasonably utilize the space on the second surface of the device main body 1.

A speaker assembly is arranged in the mounting groove 40, and the speaker assembly includes a speaker housing 50 and a speaker arranged in the speaker housing 50. The first camera 10 is arranged on the speaker housing 50. The speaker housing 50 can be reused as a supporting device for supporting the first camera 10, thereby reducing the number of structural parts in the device host 1 and improving the degree of integration of the scanning pen.

Referring to FIG. 9 , the speaker housing 50 may be provided with a mounting opening 501, the opening of the mounting opening 501 faces one side of the screen 2, the size of the mounting opening 501 matches the shell size of the first camera 10, and the first camera 10 may be fixed in the mounting opening 501 by bonding or welding. The speaker housing 50 is further provided with a first through opening 502 at a position corresponding to the mounting opening 501, and the first camera 10 obtains image information in the environment through the first through opening 502 to realize functions such as scanning and recording.

In order to prevent dust from entering the installation port 501 through the first opening 502 on the speaker housing 50 and contaminating the first camera 10, camera sealant can also be bonded between the first camera 10 and the speaker housing 50 to ensure that a seal is formed between the first camera 10 and the speaker housing 50, thereby ensuring that the first camera 10 is in a clean working environment.

In other embodiments, a supporting step 401 is provided on the inner wall of the mounting groove 40 , and the device host 1 also includes a decorative piece 60 provided on the supporting step 401 , the decorative piece 60 covers the notch of the mounting groove 40 , and the speaker housing 50 is located below the decorative piece 60 .

In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 9, a supporting step 401 is provided on the inner wall of the mounting groove 40, and the supporting step 401 is arranged around the circumference of the mounting groove 40. There is a set distance between the supporting step 401 and the groove opening of the mounting groove 40, and the set distance can be positively correlated with the thickness of the decorative part 60 arranged on the supporting step 401.

The outer surface of the decorative part 60 can obtain a beautiful appearance through processes such as coating. The decorative part 60 is arranged on the supporting step 401 to cover the notch of the installation slot 40 and cover the speaker housing 50, so that the scanning pen has a more design appearance.

The decorative member 60 can be set on the supporting step 401 by bonding or welding. The decorative member 60 can also be sealed with the supporting step 401 by bonding, thereby preventing dust from entering the installation groove 40 to contaminate the first camera 10.

Furthermore, a camera lens 601 is disposed on the decorative element 60 , and the camera lens 601 is disposed corresponding to the first camera 10 .

Specifically, referring to FIG. 10 , the decorative member 60 is further provided with a second opening corresponding to the first opening 502, and the second opening may be provided with a camera lens 601. Since the first camera 10 is provided corresponding to the first opening 502, the camera lens 601, the second opening, the first opening 502 and the first camera 10 are all provided correspondingly to reduce the loss of light in the process of entering the first camera 10.

The camera lens 601 can be fixed to the outer periphery of the second through opening by lens fixing glue, so that the camera lens 601 is stably arranged on the decorative member 60 , thereby protecting the optical lens of the first camera 10 .

The decorative element 60 may also be provided with a group of sound outlet holes, which may be connected to the sound transmission holes on the speaker housing 50. In this way, the scanning result sent by the speaker in the form of voice can be clearly received by the user.

In another embodiment, the movable component is a rotating component, and the scanning component 3 is rotatably connected to the device host 1 through the rotating component and can be flipped relative to the device host 1; in the storage state, the scanning component 3 is folded on the device host 1; in the unfolded state, the scanning component 3 is unfolded around the device host 1.

In this embodiment, the scanning component 3 is rotatably connected to the device host 1 through a rotating component, and can be flipped relative to the device host 1, so that the scanning component 3 has an unfolded state and a stored state.

Specifically, referring to FIG3 , the rotating assembly is disposed at the end of the device main body 1, and the scanning assembly 3 can rotate around the end of the device main body 1. It is worth noting that the focus of the present application is to protect that the user can hold the extended scanning assembly 3 and scan. The movable assembly in the present application includes but is not limited to the rotating assembly, and can also be a sliding, pop-up and other movable structures. The rotating assembly can also be disposed on the side, back, etc. of the device main body 1.

Furthermore, the width of the scanning component 3 is smaller than the width of the device main body 1 , and the thickness of the scanning component 3 is smaller than the thickness of the device main body 1 .

In this embodiment, the width of the scanning component 3 is smaller than the width of the device host 1, so that the size of the scanning component 3 is more in line with the size of the human body, and it can also avoid the problem of poor grip caused by the device host 1 being too large. The scanning component 3 is smaller than the thickness of the device host 1, so that the scanning component 3 can be placed in the storage slot 20 of the device host 1. At the same time, after the scanning component 3 is placed in the storage slot 20, the side wall of the scanning component 3 can be flush with the rear side wall of the device host 1. In the storage state, the scanning pen has a better appearance and visual effect.

Further, referring to Figure 4, in the storage state, one end of the scanning component 3 away from the rotating component partially extends beyond the storage slot 20 in the thickness direction of the device main body 1; and/or, in the storage state, a groove with an opening toward the scanning component 3 is provided on the groove wall of the storage groove 20, so that the user can use his fingertips to pry and rotate the scanning component 3 from the opening of the groove to unfold it.

In this embodiment, in the storage state, one end of the scanning component 3 away from the rotating component partially exceeds the storage slot 20 in the thickness direction of the device main body 1, which can facilitate the scanning component 3 to be detached from the storage slot 20. In addition, a groove with an opening toward the scanning component 3 is provided on the groove wall of the storage slot 20, and the scanning component 3 can be detached from the storage slot 20 from the opening of the groove.

Specifically, the groove can be located at any edge of the storage slot 20. The best embodiment is that the groove is set at the end of the scanning component 3 away from the rotating component. As long as the opening of the groove faces and connects to the storage slot 20, the scanning component 3 can be detached from the storage slot 20 more quickly and effortlessly. The specific structure of the groove is not further limited in this application. The groove can be square, semicircular, semi-elliptical, etc. At the same time, this application only shows two quick detachment structures that can quickly detach the scanning component 3 from the storage slot 20, but this application includes but is not limited to these two structures.

Furthermore, a locking mechanism and a reset mechanism are also provided on the device host 1; in the stored state, the locking mechanism stores the scanning component 3 in the device host 1, and the scanning component 3 compresses the reset mechanism; in the expanded state, the reset mechanism releases its elasticity and pushes the scanning component 3 to rotate relative to the device host 1 until the scanning component 3 rotates to a preset position of the device host 1, for example, roughly parallel to the device host 1.

In this embodiment, the locking mechanism fixes the scanning assembly 3 to the storage slot 20 of the device main body 1, preventing the scanning assembly 3 from rotating arbitrarily in the storage slot 20; when the lock is released, the reset mechanism can drive the scanning assembly 3 to flip to the unfolded state, and in the unfolded state, the reset mechanism can also keep the scanning assembly 3 and the device main body 1 in a parallel and fastened state at all times, preventing the device main body 1 and the scanning assembly 3 from shaking or the device main body 1 from rotating toward the scanning assembly 3. In addition, the locking mechanism and the reset mechanism can also be the same component, which can have both locking and reset functions.

Specifically, the locking mechanism is a commonly used locking method in this field or related fields, such as a button, a knob, etc. As long as the unfolding and folding process can be reflected, it is within the protection scope of this application. The reset mechanism is a common elastic member, such as a torsion spring, and this application will not be further described.

It is worth noting that in this embodiment, the resetting process of the resetting mechanism can also be reversed. That is, in the storage state, the resetting mechanism releases its elasticity and pushes the scanning component 3 to flip and fix it to the storage slot 20; in the unfolded state, the scanning component 3 is flipped and the resetting mechanism is squeezed to flip the scanning component 3 to the scanning position, and then the scanning component 3 is fixed at this position by the locking mechanism. At this time, the scanning position of the scanning component 3 includes but is not limited to flipping to be parallel to the device host 1. At the same time, other similar flipping drive structures can also be provided on the device host 1, such as a magnetic drive structure, a motor drive structure, etc.

In a variant embodiment, a holding structure is further provided on the device host 1, and the holding structure can keep the scanning component 3 fixed when it is in the unfolded state.

In this embodiment, the function of the holding structure is partially the same as the function of the reset mechanism in the above embodiment. In the unfolded state, the holding structure can make the scanning component 3 flip to the specified position and keep it fixed, ensuring that the device host 1 can remain stable when holding the scanning component 3, and preventing the device host 1 from bending during the scanning process, causing the user to be unable to see the screen 2 or the device host 1 squeezing the user's hand, thereby affecting the user's experience.
