Abstract

A reflective reading structure with different optical paths switch for portable computer mainly takes a portable computer as main body, the front side of which a reading end is arranged and acted as an optical path for reading barcode. A securing column, respectively arranged at upper edge of two (light and right) sides of the reading end, is respectively pivoted to a long supporting frame, which has a turning function, and front side of which is finally pivoted a casting element that is corresponded to the reading end and has a turning function whereby, applying the reflecting function of the casting element and cooperating the turning function thereof, the light irradiated from the portable computer is reflected in order to scan barcodes at different positions.

Claims

1. A reflective reading structure for portable computer being arranged at a reading end of the portable computer, comprising:

at least one supporting frame connected to the reading end and having turning function; and

a casting element connected to the supporting frame and having turning function;

wherein a casting light irradiated from the reading end of the portable computer is reflected with different angles and incident upon different positions, by adjusting the positions of the casting element.

2. The reflective reading structure for portable computer according to claim 1, wherein a securing column is arranged at each upper edge of two sides of the reading end of the portable computer, the outer edge of the securing column being arranged pivot, furthermore, two sides of the supporting frame being respectively arranged though hole, the though hole of one side being pivoted with the pivot.

3. The reflective reading structure for portable computer according to claim 1, wherein a securing frame is respectively arranged at two sides of the casting element, the securing frame having protrusive column extended outwardly and pivoted to another though hole of the supporting frame.

4. The reflective reading structure for portable computer according to claim 1, wherein the casting element is a double-face mirror.

5. The reflective reading structure for portable computer according to claim 2, wherein the internal surface of the though hole and the circumferential surface of the pivot are designed as a teeth form.

6. The reflective reading structure for portable computer according to claim 3, wherein the circumferential surface of the protrusive column is designed as a teeth form.
