Code reading apparatus

A code reading apparatus for detecting an at least one-dimensional optoelectronic code, said code reading apparatus comprising

• an illumination device that is configured to transmit a transmission light beam for generating a transmission light spot on the optoelectronic code to be detected;
• a scanning apparatus that comprises an oscillating mirror that is pivotable in an oscillating manner at least about a first pivot axis and that is configured to sequentially scan the optoelectronic code with the transmission light spot in at least a first scanning direction by deflecting the transmission light beam,
• wherein the oscillating mirror is additionally pivotable in an oscillating manner about a second pivot axis, with the scanning apparatus comprising a first translationally acting actuator that cooperates with the oscillating mirror via a first connecting rod that is connected in an articulated manner to the oscillating mirror at a first coupling point spaced apart from the first pivot axis in order to pivot the oscillating mirror about the first pivot axis,
• wherein, at a support point, the first pivot axis is tiltably supported about the second pivot axis and is rotatably supported about the first pivot axis,
• and wherein the scanning apparatus comprises a second translationally acting actuator that cooperates with the first pivot axis via a second connecting rod that is connected in an articulated manner to the first pivot axis at a second coupling point spaced apart from the support point in order to pivot the oscillating mirror about the second pivot axis;
• an optoelectronic sensor that is configured to detect transmission light remitted by the optoelectronic code and to convert it into electrical reception signals;
• and
• a control device that cooperates with the optoelectronic sensor and the scanning apparatus to control the scanning apparatus and to generate an electronic code from the reception signals that comprises information encoded in the optoelectronic code.
