Description

  The present invention relates to a barcode scanning device, and more particularly to a wireless barcode scanning device capable of wirelessly transmitting a scanned signal to a computer without using actual wiring.

  In general, locations such as supermarkets, large shopping centers, libraries, and logistics / courier companies have a set of barcodes that correspond to the surface of each product or the package surface of each product to make it easier to manage multiple products ( barcode) and a set of characters (for example, a numeric code) are printed and used for product recognition. At least one barcode scanner is provided in these places, storefronts, or distribution / delivery luggage sorting areas. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, a conventional barcode scanner 4 includes a case 41, an optical scanning module 42 (including a light emitting element and a sensor element) provided in the case 41, and an optical provided in the case 41. And a photoelectric conversion circuit module 43 electrically connected to the scanning module 42. A conducting wire 44 is provided at one end of the case 41, one end of the conducting wire 44 is electrically connected to the internal photoelectric conversion circuit module 43 (for example, a printed circuit board), and the other end of the conducting wire 44 is electrically connected to the computer 5. It is connected. In addition, a translucent portion 45 provided corresponding to the optical scanning module 42 is provided on the surface of the other end of the case 41. Further, a switch module 46 that is electrically connected to the photoelectric conversion circuit module 43 is provided on the surface of the case 41 between the conducting wire 44 and the translucent part 45.

  Therefore, when light emitted from the optical scanning module 42 is projected onto a set of barcodes (not shown) via the light transmitting portion 45, the formed reflected light is re-received by the optical scanning module 42, and light is emitted. Based on the intensity of the reflected light, the electrical conversion circuit module 43 converts the signal into a corresponding signal, combines the signal, and transmits the signal to the computer 5 via the lead wire 44, which is represented as a corresponding number or letter. Workers can easily read and control detailed data (for example, country of manufacture, manufacturer, product name, date of manufacture, classification, date of receipt / shipment, price) of the product, and control and manage it easily.

  However, the conventional barcode scanner 4 has a limitation on the length of the conductive wire 44. Since the barcode scanner 4 must be installed in the vicinity of the computer 5, when scanning, the product is moved to the barcode scanner 4, the barcode of the product is brought close to the light transmitting portion 45 of the barcode scanner 4, and scanning is performed. The product has been returned to its original location after confirmation. Thus, every time scanning is performed, it is easy for the operator to be burdened, and the computer 5 is large and heavy, so it is difficult to carry it. Further, if the length of the lead wire 44 of the barcode scanner 4 is too long, a new problem of storing the lead wire (for example, if the lead wire is caught) occurs, and if the barcode scanner 4 breaks down, it is repaired together with the computer 5. This is inconvenient to use.

  In view of these circumstances, the present invention is dedicated to research, design, and assembly, and is easy to quickly attach and detach, assemble and replace, and has the effect of being portable, easy for users to handle maintenance, barcode scanning work Therefore, the present invention provides a wireless bar code scanning apparatus that is easy to perform and that eliminates the need for line adjustment and storage of codes, thereby improving convenience in use.

  The present invention is fast and easy to attach and detach, assemble and replace, has the effect of carrying convenience, the user can easily handle maintenance, easily perform bar code scanning work, and eliminates the need for cord alignment and storage.
