Reference is made to FIG. 1. FIG. 1 is a schematic view of a scanning equipment 100 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, in which the scanning equipment 100 is in the status of usage. As shown in FIG. 1, the scanning equipment 100 is in the status of usage. In this embodiment, the scanning equipment 100 includes a control module 110, a bendable frame 120, two first connecting rods 130, two first scanning devices 140 and two second scanning devices 150. The bendable frame 120 has two first ends 121 opposite to each other. In practice, the control module 110 is connected with the bendable frame 120 mid-way between the first ends 121. The first connecting rods 130 respectively have a second end 131 and a third end 132 opposite to the second end 131. The second ends 131 are respectively and pivotally connected with the corresponding first end 121 of the bendable frame 120. The first scanning devices 140 are rotatably disposed at the first ends 121 of the bendable frame 120. The first scanning devices 140 are electrically connected with the control module 110 respectively. The second scanning devices 150 are rotatably disposed at the third ends 132. The second scanning devices 150 are electrically connected with the control module 110 respectively. The electrical connections in this disclosure can be accomplished by wireless connection or connection via wire(s). For example, when the electrical connection is a wireless connection, the wireless connection can be accomplished by using Bluetooth transmission device, infra-red transmission device or WIFI wireless network transmission device etc. When the electrical connection is a connection via wire(s), the connection via wire(s) can be accomplished by physical cable(s), and the type of the physical cable(s) is not restricted.


When the scanning equipment 100 is in the status of usage, as shown in FIG. 1, the bendable frame 120 forms a long structure and the control module 110 is at least partially located between the first scanning devices 140 along a first direction D1, while the bendable frame 120 and the two first connecting rods 130 abut against a ground (not shown). It is worth to note that, the first connecting rods 130 substantially extend along a second direction D2 and are parallel with each other, while the first connecting rods 130 and the bendable frame 120 define a scanning zone SZ. The second direction D2 is substantially perpendicular to the first direction D1. For example, the scanning zone SZ allows a user to step thereon. Moreover, when the first connecting rods 130 are away from each other, the first scanning devices 140 and the second scanning devices 150 at least partially face to the scanning zone SZ, and are respectively configured to carry out scanning of the feet or the shoes of the user under the control of the control module 110. The data obtained by scanning is transmitted to the control module 110 through the electrical connection mentioned above. However, it is noted that, the scanning of the feet or the shoes of the user as cited above is only illustrative, and the scanning equipment 100 is not restricted to only scan the feet or the shoes of the user. Any item which can be completely placed on the scanning zone SZ can also be scanned.


Reference is made to FIG. 2. FIG. 2 is a schematic view of the scanning equipment 100 of FIG. 1, in which the first scanning devices 140 and the second scanning devices 150 are already rotated and respectively align with the corresponding first connecting rod 130, while the bendable frame 120 is being bent and the first connecting rods 130 are rotating relative to the bendable frame 120. As shown in FIG. 2, the scanning equipment 100 is being switched from the status of usage to the status of storage. In addition, in this embodiment, the bendable frame 120 is bendable such that the first ends 121 of the bendable frame 120 are movable towards or away from each other. In this way, the scanning equipment 100 can be switched between the status of usage and the status of storage.


Furthermore, in order to facilitate the subsequent storage, the first scanning devices 140 and the second scanning devices 150 respectively rotate relative to the corresponding first connecting rod 130, such that the respective extension directions of the first scanning devices 140 and the second scanning devices 150 at least partially align with the extension direction of the first connecting rods 130. In addition, as shown in FIG. 2, the first ends 121 of the bendable frame 120 can move gradually towards each other through the bending of the bendable frame 120.


To be specific, as shown in FIGS. 1-2, the bendable frame 120 includes a central portion 122 (the central portion 122 is blocked by the control module 110 and thus not shown in FIG. 2) and two second connecting rods 123. An end of each of the second connecting rods 123 is pivotally connected with the central portion 122, and the central portion 122 is at least partially and pivotally connected between the second connecting rods 123. The first ends 121 are respectively located at another end of the corresponding second connecting rod 123 away from the central portion 122. Moreover, the control module 110 is pivotally connected with the central portion 122 of the bendable frame 120. This means the control module 110 is rotatable relative to the central portion 122. For example, the control module 110 can rotate by 90 degrees relative to the central portion 122. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, when the scanning equipment 100 is in the status of usage, the control module 110 is vertical to the bendable frame 120 for the sake of operation by a user. As shown in FIG. 2, when the scanning equipment 100 is switched to the status of storage, the control module 110 is horizontal to the bendable frame 120 for the sake of storage.


In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, each of the second connecting rods 123 has a length LG. The lengths LG of the two second connecting rods 123 are equal to each other, facilitating the usage and storage of the scanning equipment 100.


Reference is made to FIG. 3. FIG. 3 is a schematic view of the scanning equipment 100 of FIG. 2, in which the bending of the bendable frame 120 is complete. It is worth to note that, the rotations of the first connecting rods 130 relative to the bendable frame 120 and the rotations of the second connecting rods 123 relative to the central portion 122 are both carried out in the plane defined by the first direction D1 and the second direction D2. In other words, the rotations of the first connecting rods 130 relative to the bendable frame 120 and the rotations of the second connecting rods 123 relative to the central portion 122 can be carried out in a horizontal plane parallel with the ground. In addition, the first connecting rods 130 can remain parallel with each other substantially after the bendable frame 120 is completely bent.

The first scanner 143 is pivotally connected with the first supporting frame 142. In other words, the first supporting frame 142 is pivotally connected between the first turntable 141 and the first scanner 143. Since each of the first turntables 141 is rotatably connected with the corresponding first end 121 of the bendable frame 120, each of the first scanning devices 140 can rotate relative to the bendable frame 120 and the corresponding first connecting rod 130.


Similarly, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, each of the second scanning devices 150 includes a second turntable 151, a second supporting frame 152 and a second scanner 153. The second turntable 151 is rotatably connected with the third end 132 of the corresponding first connecting rod 130. The second supporting frame 152 is pivotally connected with the second turntable 151. The second scanner 153 is pivotally connected with the second supporting frame 152. In other words, the second supporting frame 152 is pivotally connected between the second turntable 151 and the second scanner 153. Since each of the second turntables 151 is rotatably connected with the third end 132 of the corresponding first connecting rod 130, each of the second scanning devices 150 can rotate relative to the corresponding first connecting rod 130.


Reference is made to FIGS. 4-5. FIG. 4 is a schematic view of the scanning equipment 100 of FIG. 3, in which the first scanners 143 and the second scanners 153 are respectively rotating relative to the corresponding first supporting frame 142 and the corresponding second supporting frame 152. FIG. 5 is a schematic view of the scanning equipment 100 of FIG. 4, in which the rotations of the first scanners 143 and the second scanners 153 respectively relative to the corresponding first supporting frame 142 and the corresponding second supporting frame 152 are complete, and the first scanners 143 and the second scanners 153 are at least partially accommodated inside the corresponding first supporting frame 142 and the corresponding second supporting frame 152 respectively.


As shown in FIGS. 4-5, when the scanning equipment 100 is switched to the status of storage, the first scanners 143 are respectively rotated relative to the corresponding first supporting frame 142 and are at least partially accommodated inside the corresponding first supporting frame 142, while the first supporting frames 142 together with the corresponding first scanner 143 rotate relative to the corresponding first turntable 141 and move close to the corresponding first connecting rod 130, until each of the first supporting frames 142 is substantially parallel with the corresponding first connecting rod 130.


On the other hand, the second scanners 153 are also respectively rotated relative to the corresponding second supporting frame 152 and are at least partially accommodated inside the corresponding second supporting frame 152, while the second supporting frames 152 together with the corresponding second scanner 153 rotate relative to the corresponding second turntable 151 and move close to the corresponding first connecting rod 130, until each of the second supporting frames 152 is substantially parallel with the corresponding first connecting rod 130.


Reference is made to FIG. 6. FIG. 6 is a schematic view of the scanning equipment 100 of FIG. 5, in which the scanning equipment 100 is in the status of storage. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, when the scanning equipment 100 is in the status of storage, the first connecting rods 130 are still substantially parallel with each other, while the bendable frame 120 bends and the second connecting rods 123 are also substantially parallel with each other. The control module 110 is at least partially located between the first scanning devices 140 and the second scanning devices 150 along the second direction D2. In this way, the space to be occupied by the scanning equipment 100 is largely reduced in an effective manner, which facilitates the storage by a user. In addition, for example, the user can accommodate the scanning equipment 100 in the status of storage into a tote bag or a suitcase, such that the scanning equipment 100 can be carried around conveniently.


In addition, when the scanning equipment 100 is in the status of storage, since the control module 110 is at least partially located between the first scanning devices 140 and the second scanning devices 150, i.e., the control module 110 is at least partially located between the first supporting frames 142 and the second supporting frames 152, the control module 110 is under a structural protection. Thus, the chance that the control module 110 to be damaged due to a direct impact is effectively reduced.


In practical applications, when the scanning equipment 100 is in the status of usage or the status of storage, appropriate methods of fixing can be applied to the pivotal connection between the control module 110 and the central portion 122, the pivotal connection between the central portion 122 and the second connecting rods 123, the pivotal connection between the first connecting rods 130 and the second connecting rods 123, the rotatable connection between each of the first turntables 141 and the corresponding first connecting rod 130, the pivotal connection between each of the first supporting frames 142 and the corresponding first turntable 141, the pivotal connection between each of the first scanners 143 and the corresponding first supporting frame 142, the rotatable connection between each of the second turntables 151 and the corresponding first connecting rod 130, the pivotal connection between each of the second supporting frames 152 and the corresponding second turntable 151, the pivotal connection between each of the second scanners 153 and the corresponding second supporting frame 152.
