Fetch unit also includes with sweep unit comprehensive or that the rectilinear scanning mode scans mark, desirable embodiment is that this sweep unit includes output shaft, on this output shaft, motor is arranged, it can make the polygonal body of a band minute surface rotate around axle, disposes a plurality of fixing catoptrons around this axis; Laser beam incident by one of them mirror reflects, arrives mark then behind a side mirror of polygonal body.The laser that is reflected is sent on the catoptron at least, again after the side mirror reflection by polygonal body, incide the receiver parts, for example this receiver is one or more photodiode, can detect the electric signal of the visible light light intensity and the variable intensity that the generation expression is detected of whole visual field reflection during their work, this signal generally is a simulating signal.
Scanner also includes the A/D figure signal processing element that analog signal processing is become digital signal, also include digital signal is become the decoding parts of expressing the decoded signal that reads mark, control microprocessor has determined that mark during correct decoding, stops reading signal.Control microprocessor and the data storage device synchronization action of storing each decoded signal.Control microprocessor also reading less than mark and arriving defined during the time, is closed scanner, thereby is prolonged the life-span of laser diode and sweep motor.So, the more detailed content of scanner is documented in the United States Patent (USP) with common assignee of the present invention, and these United States Patent (USP)s are the 4th, 251, No. 798, the 4th, 369, No. 361, the 4th, 387, No. 297, the 4th, 409, No. 470, the 4th, 816, No. 660, the 4th, 896, No. 026.These all are cited as the reference of this paper.
The slit scan device in use, casing is contained on the counter top of general planar.Casing have one with counter top at conplane scanning window, emission laser and reflector laser are mutually in the opposite direction by this window.At the scanner duration of work, scanning is during less than mark, and through time of defined, for example through after 30 minutes, not between the operating period, just turns off motor and lasing light emitter.When needs, restart motor and lasing light emitter.
Scanning starting device of the present invention comprises: read the parts of mark with the electrooptics means, the each several part of mark has different light reflectivities, utilizes this catoptrical strong and weak identification sign that changes; Stop the parts of the work of reading, when reading at the appointed time, promptly stop the work of reading less than mark; Be installed in the surrounding light sensor at scanning window place in addition, the light intensity that it is used for the detection window place changes, and restarts mark by its testing result and reads work.This sensor has the parts to the fetch unit power supply.
The step of the method for this invention is: make the mark that contains different light reflectivities part by exposing the window in the light around to the open air, and read this mark with the electrooptics method; When reading, and when having reached the time of defined, then stop read step less than mark; Light intensity around the detection window place, and corresponding this detection limit begins read step again.
Fetch unit comprises: by the transmitter of scanning window, receive its catoptrical receiver to the mark emission of lasering beam, and this transmitter, receiver and above-mentioned sensor all are arranged on the same side of scanning window; According to concrete operating position, sensor also can be arranged on the opposite side of scanning window.Fetch unit also comprises mark is carried out the sweep unit that comprehensive scan mode scans.For realizing the comprehensive scanning to mark, the composition of sweep unit includes and can reach a plurality of catoptrons that are contained near axis around the rotating polygonal body that minute surface is housed of axis.
According to the present invention, surrounding light sensor parts for example shadow photoelectric sensor are arranged on by launching the same window place of laser and reflector laser.The light intensity on every side that the shadow photoelectric sensor is used for the detection window place changes, and when detecting variation, begins to read mark again.Photoelectric sensor detects light intensity on every side, can be to the scanning of electric lasing light emitter or electric with motor or to both power supplies with cut off its power supply.

Among Fig. 1, scanner includes the casing 14 of the box-shaped that a metal material makes, this casing have a general planar sales counter plane 12 and with it at conplane top board 16.The scanning window 18 of printing opacity also with top board 16 in same plane and be contained on the casing 14.
A plurality of electric and opticses are installed in the below casing 14 on frame platform plane 12.One of them is a lasing light emitter, and for example it is a semiconductor laser diode 20, and it is used for transmitted wave and is about the laser beam of 670nm to 680nm, but this is in the human eye range of view.This laser-beam divergence is multiple divergent shape on the very big and rectangular all planes of direction of beam propagation.Diode can be launched continuous-wave mode or pulse wave signal, supplies with suitable low-voltage by lasing light emitter regulator 22, and for example 5 volts of direct currents or direct current are 12 volts.Heating radiator 24 is in laser diode and metal chassis 14 and is convenient to the heat conduction state, and the heat of during work diode being sent passes to top board 16.Top board 16 is because be exposed in the surrounding environment, and heat is distributed by it.
In the distance of laser beam process, condenser lens 26 and diaphragm 28 are arranged, they make laser beam form the hot spot of required size near the reference plane the scanning window 18 in order to the laser beam of dispersing is carried out the optics correction.Window 18 is the marks that are used on the reading object thing, this object mark contact or depart from window a little.Lens 26 and diaphragm 28 also make laser beam spread along light path 30 by the hole 32 that light collecting lens 34 forms.Diaphragm 28 has the xsect xsect about equally with the laser beam at this place, makes the major part of laser beam pass through condenser lens, diaphragm successively along light path 30, makes to mark and spreads energy loss minimum in the way.The shape of the xsect of diaphragm wishes it is rectangle or ellipse, and under this occasion, rectangle or oval-shaped major axis are consistent with the angle of divergence of laser beam maximum, so that transmit more energy to mark.
On laser beam incident by hole 32 in a plurality of catoptrons 36 that are contained in around the polygonal body 38.Sweep motor 40 drives polygonal body 38 and rotates around axis.Motor power 42 is connected with motor 40.Catoptron 45,44,46 five equilibrium angle configurations around the axis of rotation of polygonal body that a plurality of (ideal is 3) are fixing.The laser beam of a direct reflection from the polygon somascope is delivered on the minute surface in the fixing catoptron, sends by scanning window 18 again.
Laser beam is reflected as partial reflection light in a direction by the mark on the object 48, and in a lot of directions as being scattering into sub reflector.Part by scanning window 18 is a returning part with emission laser opposite direction in these scattered lights, because each each several part of mark has different light reflectivities on the object 48, so returning part has variable intensity.The face that the returning part of folded light beam is at least in the minute surface 36 of a catoptron and polygonal body 38 reflects, and for 34 optically focused of lens, delivers to receiver photoelectric sensor 50.Photoelectric sensor 50 is along the direction of scanning to mark, and best detection extends to the variable intensity of the light-concentrating laser that whole visual field transmits to surmounting it.Photoelectric sensor 50 produces the electric analoging signal that characterizes detected variable intensity.With A/D transducer 52 this simulating signal is transformed to digital video signal.Demoder 54 is translated into decoded signal with digital video signal again.United States Patent (USP) the 4th, 251 discloses such signal processing apparatus No. 798.Control microprocessor 56 becomes the data of expressing mark with data storage part 58 with decoded signal with the algorithm process that comprises software program.Control microprocessor 56 judges after mark decoding, and in view of the above, stops to read signal.
When scanner reads fully less than mark, and when having reached the time of defined, for example through 30 minutes, control microprocessor 56 is then closed scanner, and this is with to laser diode 20 or motor 40 or one of in both, and outage realizes.
Decoded signal can be stored in the storer 58 partly, also can deliver to the large-capacity data storehouse of remote principal computer.
Other also can be obtained by storer or principal computer as the retail pricing information for information about.
According to the present invention, surrounding light sensor or shadow photoelectric sensor 60 are arranged on to mark emitted laser or the same window 18 places of being passed through by the laser that mark is returned.Represent photoelectric sensor 60 in detail as Fig. 3, be electrically connected mutually with shadow testing circuit 62.This shadow testing circuit 62 also is electrically connected mutually with Laser Power Devices 22 and motor power 42.After scanning stops, if plan again to open when reading, just to diode 20 and motor 40 power supplies.
Be described in detail as follows: when object 48 passed through window 18, light intensity reduced on every side, and in the window projection, this light intensity that photoelectric sensor 60 detects window 18 places changes, and to lasing light emitter and motor power supply, began the work of reading by testing circuit again.
Below referring to Fig. 2:
The scanner of this embodiment is exactly a sales counter plane workstation, and this workstation comprises base of installing on the sales counter and the scanner head of installing on this base certain altitude, and fetch unit is contained in the scanner head, and sensor is installed in the base.As shown in the figure, shadow photoelectric sensor 60 and shadow detector circuit 62 are contained in the base 64, and base 64 is contained on the sales counter plane 66.The top mounting 70 of upright bracket 68 is made the sliding sleeve shape.For example, can be with United States Patent (USP) the 4th, 896, can pack into easily this stand and take out of the body 72 of No. 026 disclosed pistol-shaped scanner head 74 from stand.This United States Patent (USP) at this as the reference data.For hand-held, also can be with scanner head 74 by taking out on the mounting 70.Under this occasion,, pull plate machine 76 whenever reading mark.Also scanner head 74 still can be contained in the body 70, constitute one and be called as the sales counter workstation of " independent flexibly ", the object 78 that makes subsidiary mark is by the workstation on the scanning window 80.During with the slit scan device, shadow rings the opposite that photoelectric sensor 60 is contained in scanning window 80, and object is placed on the window 80, and when making its crosscut by the scanning window, the light intensity on every side that can detect generation as previously mentioned changes.
Referring to Fig. 3:
Sensor pack contains a pair of peak voltage detector, when window is stablized exposure by ambient light, the corresponding a kind of voltage of each peak voltage detector is respectively to each capacitor charging, the light intensity comparison resembles quality testing and surveys state threshold when low around the window place, and then corresponding different voltages discharge each capacitor respectively with different ratios.
Detecting step realizes with a pair of peak voltage detector, when window is stablized exposure by ambient light, the voltage that each peak voltage detector is corresponding different, respectively to each capacitor charging, the light intensity comparison resembles quality testing when knowing that state threshold hang down around the window place, and then corresponding different voltage makes each capacitor discharge respectively with different ratios.
As shown in the figure, shadow photoelectric sensor 60 is connected in parallel on amplifier input terminal.The 2nd peak detctor 86 that signal after the amplification is given the 1st peak detctor 84 and is connected in series with it.Peak detctor 84 and the 2nd peak detctor 86 that is connected in series with it.Peak detctor 84 and 86 has diode D1, D2, resistance R 1, R2 and capacitor C1, C2 respectively.The effect of the 1st peak detctor 84 is to capacitor C1 charging, its charging voltage V1 with incide shadow photoelectric sensor 60 around light intensity proportional.The effect of the 2nd peak detctor 86 is to capacitor C2 charging, its charging voltage V2 also with incide shadow photoelectric sensor 60 around light intensity proportional.Because peak detctor 84 is connected in series with 86, so the 2nd peak detctor can only charge to capacitor C2 with the voltage V2 also lower than voltage V1.This voltage difference is measured with the voltage drop that reduces before and after the semiconductor D1, normally 0.6V.
Resistor network R3, R4 are received in the output of the 1st peak detctor 84, receive the positive input terminal of comparer 88 successively.The negative input end of comparer 88 is directly received in the output of the 2nd peak detctor 86.The output of comparer is received conversioning transistor T1 through resistance R 5, and this transistorized collector is received on the 5V power supply through resistance R 6.The collector of transistor T 1 is connected on the base stage of transistor T 2.The collector of the 2nd transistor T 2 is as output terminal.
As mentioned above, when light incided shadow photoelectric sensor 60 with stable state, V1 was bigger than V2 usually.Comparer 88 detects than voltage difference, is defeated by conversioning transistor T1, T2 output signal.The output of transistor T 2 is received on the power-supply controller of electric of Laser Power Devices 22 or motor power 42, when at all reading less than mark, and when having spent the time of defined, then closes laser diode 20 or motor 40 or closes both simultaneously.In the time of above object passes through scanning window 18 or 80, then illuminance reduces, and detects for shadow photoelectric sensor 60, thereby makes capacitor C1, C2 discharge.The selection of the RC network time constant of peak detctor 84,86 will make capacitor C1 faster than capacitor C2 discharge.Therefore, after the short time, V1 diminishes than V2, and this voltage difference is detected by comparer 88 once more, and it sends the output signal of the transition status that changes transistor T 1, T2 successively.Like this, the output of transistor T 2 makes once more to laser diode 20 or motor 40 or to its both sides' power supply, thereby begins to read the mark of scanning window place object again.
Above-mentioned each formation unit formation capable of being combined and above-mentioned different other types.
The present invention has illustrated the detection architecture that has been assembled into the ambient light substrate in scanner.But the present invention does not plan to be limited to this, is not breaking away under the spirit of the present invention, can carry out all corrections and improvement.
No longer do more analysis, advantage of the present invention has fully been summarized in above explanation, and it is to have used modern knowledge, obtains with reference to prior art.As long as aspect formation, comprise the present invention's overall situation or local technical characterictic, just can find multiple use.Therefore, these use in the interest field also ought to drop on present patent application or in its full scope of equivalents.
