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 indicia reader 100 disclosed herein may be a hand held terminal (PDA, personal Digital Assistance), cell phone, tablet, intercom, or the like.

Referring to the schematic illustration of the indicia reader 100 shown in one embodiment in fig. 1 and 2, showing the back side of the indicia reader 100, the indicia reader 100 includes a housing 1, the back side of the housing 1 is provided with a rotating slot 2, and a scanning module 3 is rotatably mounted to the rotating slot 2.

With additional reference to fig. 3, 4 and 5, the sectional view in fig. 3 shows that the front surface of the housing 1 is provided with a display screen 4, and the rotary tub 2 is integrally located under the display screen 4, so that the display screen 4 has a larger display area. The rotary groove 2 is provided with a pivot hole 5, and the scanning module 3 is pivoted to the pivot hole 5 through a pivot, so that the scanning module 3 can rotate around the pivot. The pivot comprises a fixed shaft 6 arranged on one side of the rotary groove 2 and a mounting shaft 7 arranged in a pivot hole 5 on the other side of the rotary groove 2, wherein the mounting shaft 7 is a damping rotating shaft; as can be seen from fig. 4, the fixed shaft 6 is a part of the housing 1, and the fixed shaft 6 protrudes slightly from the side of the rotary groove 2; the center of the fixed shaft 6 is provided with a through hole 8. The bottom of the rotary slot 2 is provided with an arc slot 9 below the pivot hole 5, and the bottom edge of the scanning module 3 corresponding to the arc slot 9 is arc-shaped, so that the bottom edge of the scanning module 3 rotates along the arc slot 9, the combination of the scanning module 3 and the housing 1 is more compact, and the thickness of the tag reader 100 is reduced as a whole. A notch 10 is provided between the end of the rotary slot 2 and the scanning module 3, so that a finger can enter the notch 10 to rotate the scanning module 3. A first positioning hole 11 is formed in one side of the scanning module 3, and a second positioning hole 12 is formed in the other side of the scanning module; referring to fig. 6, the scanning module 3 includes a housing 13 and a scanning head 14 accommodated in the housing 13, the scanning head 14 includes a camera 15 and a light compensating lamp 16, the camera 15 is used for collecting an image of a barcode label, the light compensating lamp 16 is used for compensating light when the camera 15 collects the image, and the display screen 4 is used for displaying information of the barcode label scanned by the scanning module 3.
