Wherein, when the movable reflective member 120 is rotated by 90 degrees, the linear light source emitted and projected by the light source emitter 110 can be swept across the six mirrors 132 of the curved mirror group 130, and the curved surfaces are The mirror set 130 is reflected by the second opening 1302 to illuminate the bar code 30, as shown in the sixth figure. In the sixth diagram, only the two mirrors 132 closest to the housing 160 are drawn to illustrate the ray travel path.
藉由調整該可動之反射件120的轉速,可使得投射至各該反射面132上之線型光源呈緊密排列。其中,當該可動之反射件120的轉速為每秒2圈時,將可以使得投射至各該反射面132上的線型光源成緊密排列。在此要說明的是,線型光源呈緊密排列是指相鄰的線型光源之間的距離極小,且最佳地,相鄰的線型光源之間並無間隙產生。各該反射鏡132係反射投射於其上之線型光源,使線型光源投射至條碼30,使照亮條碼30,藉以提供讀取條碼30時所需的光源。由於投射在各該反射鏡132上之相鄰的二線型光源間的間隙極小,且配合該可動之反射件120的適當轉速,因而投射至條碼30上的掃描光源的圖案係大致呈平面狀,如第七圖所示。 By adjusting the rotational speed of the movable reflecting member 120, the linear light sources projected onto the respective reflecting surfaces 132 can be closely arranged. Wherein, when the rotating speed of the movable reflecting member 120 is 2 turns per second, the linear light sources projected onto the reflecting surfaces 132 can be closely arranged. It should be noted that the close arrangement of the linear light sources means that the distance between adjacent linear light sources is extremely small, and optimally, no gap is generated between adjacent linear light sources. Each of the mirrors 132 reflects the linear light source projected thereon, and projects the linear light source to the bar code 30 to illuminate the bar code 30, thereby providing a light source required for reading the bar code 30. Since the gap between adjacent two-line light sources projected on each of the mirrors 132 is extremely small and the appropriate rotational speed of the movable reflector 120 is matched, the pattern of the scanning light source projected onto the barcode 30 is substantially planar. As shown in the seventh figure.
於條碼30被照亮的同時,該條碼30係反射部分之線型光源,使產生一條碼影像,該條碼影像係投射至該等曲面反射鏡組130的六個反射鏡132。該曲面反射鏡組130的六個反射鏡132係反射該條碼影像,使該條碼影像投射至該可動之反射件120。該可動之反 射件120係反射該條碼影像,使該條碼影像投射至該線型影像接收器150,並藉由該線型影像接收器150或電連接於該線型影像接收器150之解碼器以進行條碼資料的解碼。 While the bar code 30 is illuminated, the bar code 30 is a reflective portion of the linear light source that produces a code image that is projected onto the six mirrors 132 of the curved mirror group 130. The six mirrors 132 of the curved mirror group 130 reflect the barcode image, and the barcode image is projected onto the movable reflector 120. The movable opposite The shooting component 120 reflects the barcode image, and the barcode image is projected to the line image receiver 150, and is decoded by the line image receiver 150 or the decoder electrically connected to the line image receiver 150 to perform barcode data decoding. .
綜合以上所述,本發明第一實施例之條碼解碼器係由該光源發射器110發射線型光源,線型光源經由該可動之反射件120及曲面反射鏡組130依序反射後投射至條碼30,以提供讀取條碼30時所需的光源。由條碼30反射後之光線,係由該曲面反射鏡組130及可動之反射件120依序反射後,由線型影像接收器150接收。由於該光源發射器110發射之光線為線型光源,故線型光源由該可動之反射件120反射後,藉由該可動之反射件120轉速的調整,以縮短投射在各該反射鏡132之相鄰的二線型光源間的間隙,使提供無間隙的掃描光源。其次,由於投射在該等反射鏡132上之相鄰的二線型光源間的間隙極小,因而投射至條碼30上的光源係大致呈平面狀,使提供無死角的掃描光源,並供掃描各種方向的條碼。再者,由於該光源發射器110可提供線型光源,因而可以降低帶動該多面鏡121轉動之驅動器140的轉速,使達到低耗電及節能之效果,並可提升該驅動器140的使用壽命。又,該條碼掃描裝置10可以同時應用於一維條碼及二維條碼的掃描。 In summary, the barcode decoder of the first embodiment of the present invention emits a linear light source by the light source emitter 110. The linear light source is sequentially reflected by the movable reflector 120 and the curved mirror group 130 and then projected onto the barcode 30. To provide the light source needed to read the barcode 30. The light reflected by the bar code 30 is sequentially reflected by the curved mirror group 130 and the movable reflector 120, and then received by the line image receiver 150. Since the light emitted by the light source emitter 110 is a linear light source, after the linear light source is reflected by the movable reflective member 120, the rotational speed of the movable reflective member 120 is adjusted to shorten the projection adjacent to each of the mirrors 132. The gap between the two-line source provides a gap-free scanning source. Secondly, since the gap between adjacent two-line light sources projected on the mirrors 132 is extremely small, the light source projected onto the barcode 30 is substantially planar, so that the scanning light source without dead angle is provided and scanned for various directions. Bar code. Moreover, since the light source emitter 110 can provide a linear light source, the rotation speed of the driver 140 that drives the polygon mirror 121 can be reduced, so that the power consumption and the energy saving effect can be achieved, and the service life of the driver 140 can be improved. Moreover, the barcode scanning device 10 can be simultaneously applied to scanning of one-dimensional barcodes and two-dimensional barcodes.
