[0036] An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a vehicle-mounted unit, comprising: a main body; an anti-disassembly button, comprising a pressing clamp and a fixed clamp seat, the pressing clamp is arranged on the outside of the main body and is detachably connected to the main body, and the fixed clamp seat is arranged on the inside of the main body and is fixedly connected to the main body; the side of the pressing clamp close to the main body is a convex structure, and the side of the fixed clamp away from the main body is provided with a groove adapted to the convex structure; wherein the anti-disassembly button is configured to be switchable between a first state and a second state; in the first state, the pressing clamp is separated from the fixed clamp; in the second state, the pressing clamp can control the convex structure and the groove to close under the action of external force, so that the pressing clamp is locked with the fixed clamp seat.

[0037] The vehicle-mounted unit provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure designs the anti-disassembly button as a buckle structure that can lock the pressing card head and the fixed card seat with each other. In the non-use state (i.e., the first state), the pressing card head and the fixed card seat are separated from each other. In the use state (i.e., the second state), by pressing the pressing card head, the convex structure of the pressing card head and the groove structure of the fixed card seat can be locked with each other. Since the anti-disassembly button is locked with the convex structure of the pressing card head and the groove structure of the fixed card seat during use, the anti-disassembly button can be kept in a locked state without loosening, thereby avoiding repeated activation by the user.

[0038] The following will be passed Figure 1~Figure 4 The structure of the vehicle-mounted unit of the disclosed embodiment is described in detail.

[0039] Figure 1 The structural block diagram of the vehicle-mounted unit according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is schematically shown.

[0040] like Figure 1 As shown, the vehicle-mounted unit of this embodiment may include, for example: a body 1 and an anti-tamper button 2 .

[0041] The main body 1, namely the on-board unit (OBU), is a microwave device that usually uses a dedicated short-range communication technology DSRC (Dedicated Short Range Communication) to communicate with a roadside unit (RSU). In ETC (Electronic Toll Collection, electronic toll collection system), the on-board unit is placed on the vehicle and the roadside unit is set up on the roadside. They communicate with each other through microwaves, and can complete automatic deduction without stopping.

[0042] The anti-disassembly button 2 is arranged on the back of the main body 1. It is a key component to ensure the security and anti-tampering capability of the vehicle-mounted unit. Its function is to prevent the device from being disassembled, tampered with or damaged without authorization, ensure the legitimacy and integrity of the vehicle-mounted unit, and maintain the security and normal operation of the entire system.

[0043] After the anti-tamper button 2 is activated for the first time, it needs to be kept pressed. If it becomes loose, it needs to be activated again.

[0044] In the prior art, glue is usually used to bond the back of the vehicle-mounted unit to the front windshield of the car to keep the anti-dismantling button 2 in a compressed state. However, since the vehicle-mounted unit is exposed to the sun on the vehicle for a long time, the glue is easily ineffective, causing the anti-dismantling button 2 to become loose easily, requiring the user to activate it multiple times.

[0045] Therefore, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the anti-tamper button 2 is improved, and a "snap-on" structure that can be locked is designed, so that the anti-tamper button 2 can be in a locked state when it is activated for the first time. Figure 2~Figure 4 .

[0046] Figure 2 A front view of a tamper-proof button according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is schematically shown.

[0047] like Figure 2 As shown, the anti-tamper button 2 of this embodiment may include, for example: a pressing clamp head 21 and a fixing clamp seat 22 .

[0048] The pressing clamp head 21 is disposed outside the main body 1 and is detachably connected to the main body 1 , and the fixing clamp seat 22 is disposed inside the main body 1 and is fixedly connected to the main body 1 .

[0049] The side of the pressing clamp 21 close to the body 1 is a convex structure, for example, it can be spherical, and the side of the fixed clamp 22 away from the body 1 is provided with a groove adapted to the convex structure, and the groove can wrap the convex structure.

[0050] The tamper button 2 is configured to be switchable between a first state and a second state.

[0051] In the first state, the pressing clamp head 21 is separated from the fixing clamp seat 22 .

[0052] In the second state, the pressing clamp head 21 can control the protruding structure and the groove to close under the action of an external force, so that the pressing clamp head 21 and the fixed clamp seat 22 are locked.

[0053] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first state can be, for example, the vehicle-mounted unit is not in use, at which point the pressing clamp 21 and the fixed clamp seat 22 are separated from each other, for example, the pressing clamp 21 can be placed in an idle area of ​​the vehicle. The second state can be, for example, the vehicle-mounted unit is in use, at which point the pressing clamp 21 can be pressed into the fixed clamp seat 22 to close the protruding structure with the groove, so that the pressing clamp 21 can always be in a locked state with the fixed clamp seat 22.

[0054] After locking, the user can perform the subsequent activation process. When the locking state needs to be released, the user only needs to pull out the pressing clamp head 21 from the fixed clamp seat 22. Different from the prior art that the vehicle-mounted unit must be glued to the front windshield or window with glue to keep the anti-tamper button 2 in a pressed state, the vehicle-mounted unit of the embodiment of the present disclosure can be placed anywhere in the car and can be used normally after the anti-tamper button 2 is locked.

[0055] According to the embodiment of the present disclosure, the anti-disassembly button 2 is designed as a buckle structure in which the pressing clamp head 21 and the fixed clamp seat 22 can be locked with each other. In the non-use state (i.e., the first state), the pressing clamp head 21 and the fixed clamp seat 22 are separated from each other. In the use state (i.e., the second state), by pressing the pressing clamp head 21, the convex structure of the pressing clamp head 21 and the groove structure of the fixed clamp seat 22 can be locked with each other. Since the anti-disassembly button 2 is locked with each other by pressing the convex structure of the pressing clamp head 21 and the groove structure of the fixed clamp seat 22 during use, the anti-disassembly button 2 can be kept in a locked state without loosening, thereby avoiding repeated activation by the user.

[0056] Based on the above embodiments of the present disclosure, the fixed base 22 may include, for example: a base 221 and a buckle body 222 .

[0057] The base 221 is located at the bottom and serves as the foundation of the entire structure, providing a solid supporting platform.

[0058] The buckle body 222 is fixedly mounted on the base 221 and is used to lock and press the clamp 21. The buckle body 222 is configured with elastic material. When the protruding structure is pressed into the groove, the buckle body 222 can deform to allow the protruding structure to smoothly enter the groove.

[0059] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the buckle body 222 can be made of elastic plastic or elastic metal with good deformation ability. The connection between the base 221 and the buckle body 222 can be made of fasteners or interlocking to ensure that the buckle body 222 will not shift during normal use.

[0060] According to the embodiment of the present disclosure, since the buckle body 222 is configured as an elastic material, when the protrusion on the pressing clamp head 21 enters the groove of the buckle body, the buckle body will be elastically deformed, so that the protrusion-shaped structure is combined with the groove. Therefore, the elastic design of the buckle body 222 ensures that the pressing clamp head 21 can easily enter and firmly lock in the groove without falling off easily.

[0061] Based on the above embodiment of the present disclosure, the fixed base 22 may further include a spring member 223 , for example.

[0062] The spring member 223 is composed of two springs, which are respectively arranged on both sides of the buckle body 222 , one end of which is connected to the buckle body 222 , and the other end of which is connected to the base 221 .

[0063] When the anti-tamper button 1 is in the second state, the spring member 223 can release elastic force under pressure to maintain a stable connection between the protrusion structure and the groove.

[0064] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the spring member 223 ensures a tight connection between the pressing clamp 21 and the fixing clamp 22 through its elastic deformation force. The spring member 223 is structurally designed to be symmetrically distributed to ensure balanced distribution of force, thereby avoiding deflection or imbalance of the buckle body.

[0065] According to the embodiment of the present disclosure, the spring will generate elastic force in the opposite direction after being squeezed, so when the clamp head 21 is pressed into the buckle body 222, the elastic force generated by the spring will make the connection between the protrusion structure and the groove more stable. Through the cooperation of the buckle body 222 and the spring member 223, locking and unlocking can be achieved simply and effectively, avoiding overly complicated operations and improving user experience.

[0066] Figure 3 A side view of a tamper button according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is schematically shown.

[0067] from Figure 3 From the direction shown, the anti-disassembly button 2 of this embodiment is cylindrical in shape, and its side width is between 5mm and 10mm. Since the on-board unit is small in size and has limited internal space, the cylindrical design can reduce the occupied area to a certain extent.

[0068] The raised structure at the bottom of the pressing clamp 21 has a certain height, and the user can intuitively feel the feedback of the pressing action, ensuring that the user can press deep enough so that the raised structure can fully enter the groove instead of partially contacting it, avoiding locking failure.

[0069] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the pressing clamp 21 with a raised structure, the precise matching of the groove of the elastic buckle body 222, and the firm support of the spring member 223 together form an efficient anti-disassembly mechanism, which fundamentally solves the defects of the traditional glue fixing method and can effectively prevent unauthorized disassembly, thereby ensuring the billing data and communication security of the vehicle-mounted unit.

[0070] Based on the above-mentioned embodiment of the present disclosure, a double-sided adhesive sheet is provided on the side of the pressing clamp 21 away from the protruding structure, which is used for sticking and fixing the pressing clamp 21 .

[0071] When the anti-tamper button 2 is in the first state, the double-sided adhesive sheet is closed, and when the anti-tamper button 2 is in the second state, the double-sided adhesive sheet is opened.

[0072] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, for example, a 3M adhesive sheet can be provided on the outer side of the pressing clamp 21. When the vehicle-mounted unit is not used, the 3M adhesive sheet does not need to be torn off. When the vehicle-mounted unit is used, that is, when the anti-disassembly button 2 is locked, the vehicle-mounted unit body 1 and the anti-disassembly button 2 are a whole. In this case, the 3M adhesive sheet can be torn off and the vehicle-mounted unit as a whole can be pasted on the vehicle window or the front windshield.

[0073] According to the embodiments of the present disclosure, due to different personal habits or preferences of users, by adding a double-sided adhesive sheet on the outside of the pressing clamp 21, the vehicle-mounted unit of the embodiments of the present disclosure can be placed at any position in the car and can also be glued to other positions such as the car window or the front windshield, providing users with personalized choices.

[0074] Based on the above embodiments of the present disclosure, the vehicle-mounted unit may further include, for example: a solar cell panel 3 .

[0075] The solar panel 3 is disposed on the surface of the body 1 and is used to provide power to the vehicle-mounted unit, wherein the angle of the solar panel 3 is adjustable.

[0076] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, a solar panel 3 is added. Considering sufficient light, energy conversion efficiency and adaptability to the external environment, the solar panel 3 can be arranged on the surface of the vehicle-mounted unit body 1. In addition, the angle of the solar panel 3 is adjustable to optimize the reception of sunlight under different environmental conditions.

[0077] According to the embodiments of the present disclosure, the solar panel 3 can provide additional power support for the vehicle-mounted unit, especially when there is no direct access to the vehicle-mounted power supply. The solar panel 3 converts solar energy into electrical energy to provide energy for the vehicle-mounted unit, thereby extending the service life of the equipment and reducing dependence on the vehicle power supply.

[0078] Based on the above embodiments of the present disclosure, the vehicle-mounted unit may further include, for example: a positioning and sensor module.

[0079] The positioning and sensor module is arranged inside the body 1 and is used to obtain the position information and vehicle status of the vehicle in real time.

[0080] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the positioning and sensor module may specifically include: a positioning module, an inertial sensor, and an environmental sensor.

[0081] Wherein, the positioning module, such as a GPS module, is used to obtain the location information of the vehicle in real time.

[0082] Inertial sensors are used to detect the vehicle's motion status in real time.

[0083] Environmental sensors are used to detect the vehicle's environmental status in real time.

[0084] According to the embodiments of the present disclosure, the positioning and sensor module can obtain the location information and vehicle status of the vehicle in real time, support navigation and dynamic road condition detection, and thus assist users in achieving more accurate traffic management.

[0085] Based on the above embodiments of the present disclosure, the vehicle-mounted unit may further include, for example: a communication module.

[0086] The communication module is arranged inside the body 1 and is used for wireless communication with the roadside unit.

[0087] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the communication module may specifically include: a radio frequency identification module and an antenna.

[0088] The radio frequency identification module is used to automatically identify the roadside unit and exchange information.

[0089] Antennas are used to receive and send wireless signals.

[0090] According to the embodiments of the present disclosure, the communication module can establish a wireless connection between the vehicle-mounted unit and the roadside unit, and thus better data communication and interaction can be performed using the communication module.

[0091] Figure 4 The effect display diagram of the vehicle-mounted unit in different states according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is schematically shown.

[0092] like Figure 4 As shown, in the first state (non-use state), the pressing clamp head 21 and the fixing clamp seat 22 are separated from each other. In the second state (use state), the pressing clamp head 21 and the fixing clamp seat 22 are locked with each other.

[0093] Based on the above-mentioned on-board unit, the present disclosure also provides an on-board unit activation method and an on-board unit activation device.
