Abstract

A document camera includes an image-shooting module and a detachable module. The detachable module is installed under the image-shooting module, wherein the detachable module or the image-shooting module includes a magnetic attraction generator to attract each other such that the detachable module can be attached to the image-shooting module.

Claims (40)

1 . A document camera comprising:

an image-shooting module, comprising a metallic housing; and

a detachable module, installed under the image-shooting module, wherein the detachable module comprising:

a metal flux ring, encircling the hollow space; and

a magnetic flux circuit, encircling the flux ring, when an electrical current is applied to the magnetic flux circuit, the metal flux ring produces a magnetic force to attract the metallic housing of the image-shooting module.

2 . The document camera of claim 1 , wherein the image-shooting module comprises an objective lens set, which fits into the hollow space when the detachable module is attached to the image-shooting module by the magnetic force.

3 . The document camera of claim 1 , wherein the detachable module is a module, which emits light beams to define an image-shooting boundary of the image-shooting module.

4 . The document camera of claim 1 , wherein the detachable module is an illumination module.

5 . The document camera of claim 1 , wherein he detachable module comprises a hollow space, through which the image-shooting module shoots an image of a desired target under the detachable module.

6 . The document camera of claim 1 , further comprising:

a base portion, comprising a concave portion;

a rotatable arm, pivotally connected to the base portion at one end and to the image-shooting module at the other end;

a magnet, disposed under the concave portion; and

a detachable control panel, having a metallic housing, the magnet attracting the metallic housing of the detachable control panel when the detachable control panel is accommodated in the concave portion.

7 . A document camera comprising:

an image-shooting module, comprising a metallic housing; and

a detachable module, installed under the image-shooting module, wherein the detachable module comprising:

a hollow space, through which the image-shooting module shoots an image of a desired target under the detachable module; and

a magnet ring, encircling the hollow space to attract the metallic housing such that the detachable module is attached to the image-shooting module.

8 . The document camera of claim 7 , wherein the image-shooting module comprises an objective lens set, which fits into the hollow space when the detachable module is attached to the image-shooting module.

9 . The document camera of claim 7 , wherein the detachable module is a module, which emits light beams to define an image-shooting boundary of the image-shooting module.

10 . The document camera of claim 7 , wherein the detachable module is an illumination module.

11 . The document camera of claim 7 , wherein he detachable module comprises a hollow space, through which the image-shooting module shoots an image of a desired target under the detachable module.

12 . The document camera of claim 7 , further comprising:

a base portion, comprising a concave portion;

a rotatable arm, pivotally connected to the base portion at one end and to the image-shooting module at the other end;

a magnet, disposed under the concave portion; and

a detachable control panel, having a metallic housing, the magnet attracting the metallic housing of the detachable control panel when the detachable control panel is accommodated in the concave portion.

13 . A document camera comprising:

an image-shooting module comprising a metal flux ring and a magnetic flux circuit, wherein the magnetic flux circuit encircles the flux ring; and

a detachable module, installed under the image-shooting module, the detachable module comprising a metallic housing and a hollow space, wherein the image-shooting module shoots an image of a desired target under the detachable module through the hollow space, when an electrical current is applied to the magnetic flux circuit, the metal flux ring produces a magnetic force to attract the metallic housing of the detachable module.

14 . The document camera of claim 13 , wherein the image-shooting module comprises an objective lens set, which fits into the hollow space when the detachable module is attached to the image-shooting module by the magnetic force.

15 . The document camera of claim 13 , wherein the detachable module is a module, which emits light beams to define an image-shooting boundary of the image-shooting module.

16 . The document camera of claim 13 , wherein the detachable module is an illumination module.

17 . A document camera comprising:

an image-shooting module comprising a magnet ring; and

a detachable module, installed under the image-shooting module, the detachable module comprising a metallic housing and a hollow space, wherein the image-shooting module shoots an image of a desired target under the detachable module through the hollow space, a magnetic force of the magnet ring attract the metallic housing of the detachable module such that the detachable module is attached to the image-shooting module.

18 . The document camera of claim 17 , wherein the image-shooting module comprises an objective lens set, which fits into the hollow space when the detachable module is attached to the image-shooting module by the magnetic force.

19 . The document camera of claim 17 , wherein the detachable module is a module, which emits light beams to define an image-shooting boundary of the image-shooting module.

20 . The document camera of claim 17 , wherein the detachable module is an illumination module.
