Embodiment

At first see also Figure 1A, Figure 1B, portable scanner in the present embodiment is in order to scan an object P, it mainly comprises a body 10, a pliability part 20 and two fixtures 30, aforementioned pliability part 20 roughly extends and passes

body

10,30 two ends that are arranged at pliability part 20 respectively of fixture towards a first direction (X-direction).Shown in Figure 1B, aforementioned body 10 comprises a housing 101 and one scan element 102, and wherein scanning element 102 is arranged in the housing 101, and comprises that one exposes to the image reading face of housing 101 belows, in order to sweep object P.

In the time will using portable scanner of the present invention that object P is scanned, the one surperficial P ' that at first pliability part 20 must be flat on object P goes up (shown in Figure 1A) and with the free-hand fixture 30 of pushing pliability part 20 two ends, and then makes it be fixed in surperficial P '.Then, by make body 10 with respect to pliability part 20 towards first direction (X-direction) motion (shown in Figure 1A direction of arrow), can utilize 102 couples of aforementioned object P of scanning element of body 10 bottom sides to scan, wherein aforementioned scanning element 102 for example be a contact image sensor (Contact Image Sensor, CIS).

See also Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 A, Fig. 3 B again, wherein Fig. 3 A, Fig. 3 B are corresponding to aforementioned Figure 1A, Figure 1B and have omitted housing 101.As shown in the figure, body 10 in the present embodiment also comprises one first roller bearing S1, one second roller bearing S2, one the 3rd roller bearing S3 and one the 4th roller bearing S4, it is inner and be approximately perpendicular to first direction (X-direction) that above-mentioned first, second, third, fourth roller bearing S1, S2, S3, S4 are arranged at housing 101, wherein pliability part 20 pass housing 101 and in regular turn with the 3rd, the 4th, first, second roller bearing S3, S4, S1, S2 contact.

As shown in Figure 2, aforementioned the first, the 4th roller bearing S1, S4 are arranged at scanning element 102 tops, and second, third roller bearing S2, S3 then are arranged at housing 101 bottom sides, and wherein scanning element 10 is between second, third roller bearing S2, S3.In particular, form characters and walk around scanning element 102 in housing 101 inside by making aforementioned pliability part 20, pliability part 20 is with the unlikely running that interferes with scanning element 102 thus.

When desiring to scan, motor (not icon) in the body 10 can drive first roller bearing S1 rotation, and stably drive body 10 by the frictional force between the first roller bearing S1 and the pliability part 20 and advance towards first direction (X-direction), make scanning element 102 on aforementioned surfaces P ', to slide.In Fig. 2, when body 10 when first direction (X-direction) moves, the scanning element 102 that exposes to housing 101 belows can scan object P.

In the present embodiment, aforementioned pliability part 20 is rectangular and have light transmission, can help the user thus and supervise image on the P ' of object P surface, and wherein aforementioned first direction (X-direction) is parallel to the long axis direction of pliability part 20.In a preferred embodiment, aforementioned fixation part 30 and pliability part 20 are with one-body molded making, and the thickness of fixture 30 is greater than pliability part 20 in addition; Yet the present invention also can omit fixture 30 and only with free-hand pliability part 20 two ends of pushing, in order to pliability part 20 is fixed on the surperficial P ' of object P, can reach aforementioned effect so equally.

In sum, the invention provides a kind of portable scanner, when scanning as yet, aforementioned pliability part can be wound on the housing, and portable scanner is easy to carry about with one; In addition, in the time will scanning, then only need the pliability part is launched and an object surface is fixed at two ends to use with convenient.Because portable scanner of the present invention has the little and foldable advantage such as take in of volume, not only helps scanning all types of objects, can increase substantially the user simultaneously and carry and operational convenience.
