In general, the present invention relates to read the combined distance laser scanner and the method for the figure (for example bar code) that contains the different reflectivity zone with photoelectric method; Say in more detail, the present invention relates to use plural laser diode illumination optics device in case the combinations thereof that under different operating distances, can both focus apart from laser scanner and method.Preferred first embodiment of the present invention has and is best suited for first device of being close to scanning usefulness and is best suited for such two the laser lighting optical devices of second device that long range sweep uses.Two laser lighting optical devices are assembled among the combined distance laser scanner.
For recognition value, in petty dealer's industry, gradually adopted bar code especially, thereby also just developed various apparatus for reading of bar code.Most customer requirements of apparatus for reading of bar code are small-sized, in light weight, take few etc. the portable hand-held scanner of electricity.
The laser scan type apparatus for reading of bar code can have various concrete profiles, and the gun-type shell of both useful light weight plastic production also has the portable hand-held scanner head.The various positions of reading device are placed on the body of a gun part and the small of the stock part of gun-shaped shell.Also be, in body of a gun part, dispose miniature light sources, condenser lens, contained the compact optical device of the scanning mechanism that can make the light transversal scanning cutting rod font code that sends from light source, and the small light detecting device that can detect the light that is reflected by bar-code marks when scanning.
Miniature light sources can be by laser tube (for example coaxial as the helium-neon laser pipe) or luminous diode, and perhaps the semiconductor laser diode utmost point becomes.Because semiconductor laser diode is littler, in light weight than laser tube volume, so required size and the weight of scanner head can be little, and, to the processing of scanner head and operation also than being easier to, so semiconductor laser diode is more satisfactory.The light that is sent by light source is through behind the optical devices, and laser beam is directed to the scanning mechanism that is arranged on scanner head body of a gun part, and then bar-code marks is carried out transverse cuts scanning.Scanning mechanism has a scanning step motor at least, perhaps resonant rods, perhaps make the scanner of laser beam along long direction transverse cuts scanning bar code, if append second motor that can make laser beam broad ways transverse cuts scanning bar code, then scanning mechanism also can be made of two motors.The axle of scanning motor is equipped with the scanning mirror of the laser beam direction bar-code marks that passes through window.
Light by the bar-code marks reflection detects and handles with the detection loop.Detecting the loop generally is made of the photodetector of semiconductor photo diode tubing.The user has just determined the position of hand-held reading device in order to read figure by transverse cuts scanning bar code mark.In order to discern bar-code marks, the series of electrical signals that is produced by photodetector is sent to signal conditioning circuit.The output signal of signal conditioning circuit is sent to bar code figure demoder loop, and bar-code marks is decoded there.
When the user aims at bar-code marks to reading device, and when pulling the plate machine, light beam and detect the loop net and just be activated, and begin to scan.Because reading device is worked by this way, so when reading device adopts the built-in battery, the useful life that can prolong battery.In the plastic casing of light weight, the LASER Light Source of having packed into, detecting device, optical devices, signal conditioning circuit, central processing unit CPU and battery.Reading device is to design according to the principle that aims at bar-code marks from the position of leaving bar-code marks.Promptly, reading device both was not close to mark yet, also not along the mark transverse cuts move.In general, such hand-held apparatus for reading of bar code is specified in several inches interior use of scope.Replace above-mentioned scan mode, also might under artificial reference, automatically scan.
The working range that the photoelectricity bar-code marks in past reads laser scanning device has following restriction: (a) for the bar-code marks of the most general density, approximately from clinging to 2 feet, (b) for more low-density bar-code marks, approximately from 30 inches to 18 feet.Like this, because laser scanning device in the past only uses the laser lighting optical devices with single fixed focal length, so depth of focus is less, working range is narrow.
According to the above, first purpose of the present invention is to provide a kind of and read combined distance laser scanner and the method that bar code and so on has the figure in different reflectivity zone with photoelectric method.In order to be applicable to different operating distances, the combined distance laser scanner has used the two or more laser diode illumination optics devices that can do best focusing to different distance.Two laser optics lighting devices have been equipped with in the preferred embodiment of invention, promptly be best suited for from be close to up to 2 feet range sweeps the first laser lighting optical devices and be best suited for the second laser optics lighting device of about 2 to 17 feet scannings, two laser scanning devices are combined among the combined distance laser scanner.
Second purpose of the present invention is that a kind of described combined distance laser scanner that can select the logical circuit net of some laser lighting optical devices actions according to specific scanning application requirements that is equipped with is provided.The optical signal frequency that receives in order to make is limited on the frequency of signal Processing decoding loop of standard, according to selecteed be which laser lighting optical devices, the translational speed of the laser facula drive signal amplitude of gated sweep motor (for example by) is controlled.Scanning is to realize by the public oscillatory type scanning mirror that is driven by scanning motor, is close to or the situation of the first laser lighting optical devices of short distance work for being best suited for, and the amplitude ratio that is added in the drive signal on the scanning motor is bigger; For the situation of the second laser lighting optical devices that are best suited for long range sweep work, the amplitude ratio of drive signal is less.
In order to solve above-mentioned problem, when photoelectricity reads bar-code marks and so on and has the figure in different reflectivity zone, the invention provides combined distance laser scanner and method with following characteristics.Laser scanner contains: one is used to make laser beam to scan the public scanning mirror of the other end from an end of visual field, short distance laser lighting optical devices that are used for the short distance scanning work, a length that is used for long range sweep work is apart from the laser lighting optical devices.In order to collect, and, be provided with condenser optics its guiding detecting device by the light that is scanned visual field reflection.Detecting device detects the laser emission that is reflected, and generation and the corresponding electric signal of reflected light.
In more detail, in scanner, also be equipped with in order to make scanner can in the visual field, do short distance work or long apart from work and selection short distance laser illuminator system action or the long selecting arrangement that moves apart from laser illuminator system.In the first embodiment situation, also have signal conditioning circuit in the selecting arrangement, it can use long amplitude and the frequency of analyzing the light signal that is reflected apart from laser illuminator system and when starting the range determination action temporary transient.If the distance of bar code is far away during scanning, then the output signal frequency of detecting device is higher, and amplitude is littler, otherwise distance is shorter during scanning, and then the output signal frequency of detecting device is lower, and amplitude is bigger.Therefore, according to the amplitude and the frequency of the signal that is gone out by the range determination motion detection, can determine to select the short distance illumination optics device still is the long-distance illumination optical devices.In the second embodiment situation, used the sonar ranging device, to detect the distance of visual field internal object.In the 3rd embodiment situation, above-mentioned selecting arrangement is a kind of manual selecting arrangement by operator's operation, and for example the operator elects by operating a trigger with first gear and two gears of second gear.
In the first preferred embodiment situation, scanning mirror is a flat scanning mirror that is driven by scanning motor.Short distance laser lighting optical devices are to be configured in the scanning mirror short distance visible laser diode assembly of side nearby.Long apart from the laser lighting optical devices be a kind of length apart from the visible laser diode assembly, its configuration is, a mirror of turning back that is placed on the horizontal side of short distance visible laser diode assembly is arranged, and laser emission penetrates earlier from turning back mirror, reflected by scanning mirror again.

Fig. 1 is illustrated under the situation of high-quality bar-code marks, and two (long and short) range sweep devices of combined type of the present invention are for the scan decoder regional extent of various bar code resolution.Can think that short distance can the sign indicating number zone be to read from clinging to about 2 feet bar code figure, and long distance decoding zone is that about 2 feet to 17 feet bar code figure reads.As shown in Figure 1, the resolution that may reach at the bar code figure place is wide wide to 0.05 inch bar for remote bar code figure from 0.005 inch bar for bar code figure very closely.Have the scope that repeats between short distance decoding zone and long distance decoding zone, in fact, the short distance area decoder has 4 * 1/2 feet wide approximately, and long distance decoding zone is approximately from 10 inches to about 12 feet wide.But, it is not optimum carrying out decoding work outside the scope narrower than above-mentioned zone.
Fig. 2 is the major function of first embodiment of two (long and short) range sweep devices of combined type of the present invention and the block diagram of parts.The combined two distance scanner counting/and in one second time bar code data is scanned, analyzes and transmits.Combined two distance scanner aiming bar-code marks, and cocking 12, following action sequence just started.
Map ranging device 14 in the scan module detects the distance of bar-code marks.In the first preferred embodiment situation, the structure of map ranging device 14 can be to start length range sweep mechanism temporarily to realize the range finding action, analyzes the amplitude and the frequency of reflected light signal with signal conditioning circuit.If when scanning, the bar code distance of placing was far away, then the frequency content of the detector output signal of Chan Shenging is higher, amplitude more on, otherwise if the distance during scanning is nearer, then the frequency content of the detector output signal of Chan Shenging is lower, amplitude is healed greatly.Therefore, according to signal amplitude that goes out from the range determination motion detection and frequency, can determine to select the short distance lighting device still to select the long-distance illumination device.Implement situation second, map ranging device 14 can be made of the viameter of commercially available camera with Polaroid sonar form.According to the output of map ranging device, it is long apart from visible laser diode 20 that net 16 decisions in switch loop select for use short distance visible laser diode 18 still to select for use.
In the first preferred embodiment situation, short distance laser lighting optical devices and the long side nearby that is placed in scanning mirror apart from laser lighting optical devices portion, and design both may also may be with long apart from mode of operation work with the work of short distance mode of operation, they form the laser diode module of a single integral body.In addition, in other preferred embodiment situation, as Fig. 4, Fig. 5 and shown in Figure 6, short distance laser lighting optical devices and length are separated apart from the laser lighting optical devices.
The laser beam that is produced by selected Solid State Laser diode by means of in the laser diode module focus optical devices being sent to the flat scanning mirror, and is carried out transverse cuts scanning by means of the oscillatory type scanning mirror to bar-code marks.Scanning realizes by means of the public oscillatory type flat scanning mirror that is driven by scanning motor.For the most suitable situation of being close to first laser illuminator system of work or short distance work, because the distance to short distance bar code target is short, the amplitude ratio that scanning motor drives is bigger, otherwise, for the second laser illuminator system situation that is best suited for long range sweep work, because to long distance, so the amplitude ratio of scanning motor drive signal is less apart from the bar code target.Various sweep velocitys make received optical signal frequency be limited on the frequency of standard signal treatment loop and decoding loop.The oscillatory type scanning mirror makes the laser beam reflection, and by outgoing window directive bar-code marks.Usually, laser beam is with the speed of about per second 36 times transverse cuts scanning bar code mark to and fro.Photodetector is surveyed the laser that reflects from bar-code marks, and this converting optical signals is become analog electrical signal.This simulating signal is handled by the analog loopback net 22 that adopts known technology.The formal representation of this simulating signal be contained in information in the bar-code marks.
Signal in the digitizing loop 24 is adjusted the loop and is adopted known technology that simulating signal is transformed into digitized bar pattern signal.This figure signal is sent to the interface control module in the controller chassis 26, and decoded.
