Abstract

Claims (22)

1. A frame for at least one scanning device for carrying the at least one scanning device by means of a person, the frame comprising:

a supporting device for fitting and carrying the frame by the person, and

an upper frame section, to which a first holder for the at least one scanning device is fastened,

wherein the supporting device further comprises a contact part, wherein the contact part is located proximate a level of a hip region of the person, when the person is carrying the frame by means of the supporting device,

wherein the supporting device further comprises a hip rest which corresponds to the contact part,

wherein the hip rest interacts with the contact part such that the contact part swivels about a first axis.

2. The frame of claim 1 , wherein a bracket is arranged in front of the person, when the person is carrying the frame by means of the supporting device.

3. The frame of claim 1 , wherein the frame has a central hinge for folding up the frame.

4. The frame of claim 3 , wherein the central hinge has at least two locking positions, one locking position for a folded-up state of the frame and another locking position for an operating state of the frame.

5. The frame of claim 1 , wherein when the contact part swivels about the first axis and when the contact part is resting on the hip rest, swiveling about an axis perpendicular to the first axis is blocked.

6. The frame of claim 5 , wherein the contact part has an oblong transverse edge, with which the contact part rests on the hip rest and the first axis is oriented parallel to the oblong transverse edge of the contact part.

7. The frame of claim 5 , wherein the hip rest has vertical cheeks which block swiveling of the contact part resting on the hip rest about an axis perpendicular to the first axis.

8. The frame of claim 1 , wherein the hip rest is coupled via a bottom hinge to the contact part of the frame, wherein the frame swivels via the bottom hinge about the first axis.

9. The frame of claim 2 , wherein at least one of the bracket and the contact part is adjustable for height of the person.

10. The frame of claim 2 , wherein on the bracket a second holder is arranged, on which an additional scanning device can be fastened, wherein the second holder is arranged in front of the person, when the person is carrying the frame by means of the supporting device.

11. A spatial detection device with at least one scanning device and the frame of claim 1 .

12. The spatial detection device of claim 11 , further comprising at least one camera fastened to the first holder of the frame above the head of the person, when the person is carrying the spatial detection device using the frame.

13. The spatial detection device of claim 12 , wherein the at least one camera comprises a plurality of cameras arranged spaced apart on a ring, wherein the ring is oriented substantially horizontally, when the person is carrying the spatial detection device by means of the frame.

14. The spatial detection device of claim 11 , wherein on the first holder of the frame at least one of a receiving antenna and an inertial measurement unit is fastened above the head of the person, when the person is carrying the spatial detection device by means of the frame.

15. The spatial detection device of claim 14 , wherein the frame comprises a bumper and the at least one camera, the receiving antenna, and an inertial measurement unit are surrounded by the bumper.

16. The spatial detection device of claim 11 , further comprising at least one state sensor, which is configured to detect how the frame is being carried by the person.

17. The spatial detection device of claim 11 , wherein the spatial detection device has at least one reference mark for capturing at least one of a position and an orientation of the spatial detection device relative to a stationary coordinate system.
