DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0041] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. The following embodiments are used to illustrate the present invention but are not used to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0042] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that the directions or positional relationships indicated by terms such as “upper”, “lower”, “front”, “back”, “left”, “right”, “vertical”, “inside” and “outside” are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present invention.

[0043] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0044] In the prior art, bus stop locks include two types: non-universal and universal. Non-universal locks correspond to different keys and are more secure, but require staff to carry a large number of keys. Universal locks can save the inconvenience of staff carrying a large number of keys, but if the keys are lost, the corresponding bus stop signs are at risk of being stolen.

[0045] In view of this, if Figure 1 As shown, the present invention provides a bus stop anti-theft method, the bus stop includes an electronic lock and a first communication module, wherein the first communication module is used for the interaction between the bus stop and a management platform, and the management platform can control the opening or closing of the electronic lock of the bus stop according to the received information.

[0046] The electronic lock can be in the form of a magnetic lock. When the management platform needs to open the electronic lock, the electronic lock is powered off, the magnetic force disappears, and the electronic lock opens accordingly. In other cases, the electronic lock remains powered on. Under the action of the magnetic force, the door body 2 of the bus stop is fixed on the box body 1, and the internal components are separated from the external environment, thereby achieving an anti-theft effect.

[0047] Specifically, the anti-theft methods include:

[0048] The management platform obtains the application authorization information and determines whether it meets the authorization conditions. If so, the electronic lock of the bus stop sign is opened; if not, the electronic lock of the bus stop sign remains closed.

[0049] The determination of whether the authorization conditions are met includes the following steps:

[0050] The pipeline platform determines whether the distance between the current user and the target bus stop is within the set range. If so, it meets the authorization conditions; otherwise, it does not meet the authorization conditions.

[0051] In the present invention, the management platform interacts with the user through the second communication module, which can be an app on the user's mobile phone. When the user needs to open the bus stop sign, the app on his mobile phone submits the application authorization information. After receiving the application authorization information, the management platform obtains the user's location according to the positioning system of the user's mobile phone, and then determines whether the distance between the current user and the target bus stop sign he applies to open is within the set range. If so, the electronic lock is opened. At this time, the user is near the target bus stop sign, which can ensure the safety of the bus stop sign.

[0052] If not, it is determined that the authorization conditions are not met. Since the user is far away from the target bus stop, if the electronic lock of the target bus stop is opened, the bus stop will only have one line of defense, the mechanical lock. Since the user is not near the bus stop, the bus stop is at risk of being stolen. Therefore, when the current user is not within the set range from the target bus stop, the pipeline platform controls the electronic lock of the bus stop to remain closed to ensure the safety of the bus stop.

[0053] When a user uses the second communication module for the first time, he / she needs to upload his / her information to the pipeline platform, and the management platform will mark him / her as an authorized user after review and approval.

[0054] Taking into account the risk of loss of the second communication module, in order to further ensure the safety of the bus stop sign, each time it is used, the second communication module will determine whether the current user is an authorized user. If so, the current user is allowed to interact with the management platform; if not, the second communication module remains in its current state and the user cannot interact with the pipeline platform.

[0055] For example, when the second communication module is an app on the user's mobile phone, it can determine whether the current user is an authorized user by entering a password, fingerprint recognition, or face recognition, etc. Even if the user's mobile phone is lost, the electronic lock of the bus stop sign will not be opened by other people.

[0056] In another embodiment of the present invention, considering that there are many bus stops, more staff are needed to maintain them, and different staff are responsible for different bus stops. In order to clarify the division of responsibilities, the management platform determines whether the current user is an authorized user of the target bus stop before determining whether the distance between the current user and the target bus stop is within the set range. If so, the judgment process is continued to further determine whether the distance between the current user and the target bus stop is within the set range;

[0057] If not, the judgment process is stopped. In other words, even if they are the same staff members, the staff members responsible for the other bus stops cannot open the target bus stop, thereby further increasing the safety of the bus stop.

[0058] Furthermore, the management platform will also record the opening time and current user information when the electronic lock is authorized to be opened, so as to facilitate subsequent information search.

[0059] In another embodiment of the present invention, the management platform can also perform real-time detection of the integrity of the electronic lock of the bus stop sign. When the management platform detects through the feedback information of the first communication module that the electronic lock is being forcibly broken, the second communication module can be used to remind the staff to deal with it in time. At the same time, the management platform can also control the security module of the bus stop sign to sound an alarm to deter criminals. The security module can take the form of a buzzer or the like.

[0060] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the present invention also provides a bus stop using the above-mentioned bus stop anti-theft method, the bus stop includes a door body 2, a box body 1, an electronic lock, a mechanical lock and a first communication module, the door body 2 is hinged to either side of the box body 1, so that the staff can inspect and maintain the components inside the box body 1, the electronic lock and the mechanical lock can provide double insurance for the box body 1, when and only when the electronic lock and the mechanical lock are both opened, the door body 2 is in an open state, thereby improving the safety of the box body 1, wherein when the staff needs to open the electronic lock, an application is made to the pipeline platform through the second communication module, the pipeline platform obtains the application authorization information and determines whether the authorization conditions are met, if the authorization conditions are met, the pipeline platform opens the electronic lock through the first communication module arranged on the bus stop.

[0061] The electronic lock includes a first lock body 3 arranged on the door body 2 and a first fixed part 4 arranged on the box body 1. In one embodiment of the present invention, the electronic lock adopts the form of a magnetic lock. When the electronic lock is powered on, there is a magnetic force at the first fixed part 4, the first lock body 3 is fixed on the first fixed part 4, and the electronic lock is in a closed state; when the electronic lock is powered off, the magnetic force of the first fixed part 4 disappears, the first lock body 3 is separated from the first fixed part 4, and the electronic lock is in an open state.

[0062] The mechanical lock comprises a second lock body 5 arranged on the door body 2 and a second fixing portion 6 arranged on the box body 1 , wherein the second lock body 5 comprises a lock rod 7 , a lock hook 8 and a reset member 10 .

[0063] The lock rod 7 is arranged parallel to the side of the door body 2, and a stretching piece 13 is arranged at its bottom. With the cooperation of the stretching piece 13 and the key 11, the lock rod 7 can be displaced vertically, so as to separate the lock hook 8 from the second fixing part 6 on the box body 1. At this time, the mechanical lock is in an open state.

[0064] Furthermore, the tensioning member 13 extends in a direction away from the axis of the locking rod 7 .

[0065] The lock hook 8 is disposed on the lock rod 7. The lock hook 8 is an L-shaped structure. The opening formed by the lock hook 8 and the lock rod 7 faces upward. Accordingly, the lock hole of the second fixing part 6 extends vertically. When the mechanical lock is in a closed state, the lock hook 8 is in the lock hole of the second fixing part 6. Under the action of the key 11, the lock rod 7 produces a vertical displacement, and the lock hook 8 is separated from the lock hole of the second fixing part 6. At this time, the mechanical lock is in an open state.

[0066] Preferably, three locking hooks 8 are arranged along the axial direction of the locking rod 7. Correspondingly, three second fixing parts 6 distributed vertically are arranged on the box body 1, so as to realize locking of the door body 2 and the box body 1 at the upper, middle and lower positions, further increasing the safety of the bus stop sign.

[0067] The reset member 10 is used to restore the lock rod 7 to its initial state, that is, the lock hook 8 is in the lock hole of the second fixed part 6. The reset member 10 is arranged between the first limit member 9 and the second limit member, wherein the first limit member 9 is arranged on the lock rod 7, the second limit member is arranged on the door body 2, and the first limit member 9 is arranged above the second limit member. Then, as the lock rod 7 moves downward, the first limit member 9 moves synchronously with the lock rod 7, and since the second limit member is arranged on the door body 2 and its position is relatively fixed, the first limit member 9 will compress the reset member 10 during the displacement process. When the user needs to close the mechanical lock, the compressed reset member 10 will return to its initial state. Under the action of the reset member 10, the first limit member 9 drives the lock rod 7 to move upward, and the lock hook 8 is reinserted into the lock hole of the second fixed part 6, and the second mechanical lock is locked.

[0068] The restoring element 10 is preferably in the form of a spring.

[0069] The key 11 of the mechanical lock in the present invention comprises a handle 12 and an engagement claw 14 , and the angle between the engagement claw 14 and the handle 12 is greater than or equal to 90°, so that the user can apply a downward force to the lock rod 7 .

[0070] The engagement claw 14 is a hollow structure. During use, the engagement claw 14 is sleeved on the outside of the locking rod 7 . Therefore, the difference between its inner diameter and the locking rod 7 must be greater than or equal to zero and less than twice the length of the tension member 13 .

[0071] Figure 3 It is a schematic diagram of the structure of the key 11 and the tension member 13 of the mechanical lock. It is worth noting that the lock rod 7 is not shown in the figure.

[0072] like Figure 3 As shown, when two stretching members 13 are arranged on the locking rod 7 on the same axis, the difference between the inner diameter of the engaging claw 14 and the diameter of the locking rod 7 needs to be less than twice the length of the stretching member 13 to ensure that the engaging claw 14 can cooperate with the stretching member 13.

[0073] The end of the engaging claw 14 is provided with U-shaped grooves 15 of the same number as the stretching member 13 . The openings of the plurality of U-shaped grooves 15 extend in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction, and the bottom edge of the opening of the U-shaped groove 15 smoothly transitions to the end of the engaging claw 14 .

[0074] When the user uses the key 11 to open the mechanical lock, the engaging claw 14 is sleeved on the outside of the locking rod 7, and then the engaging claw 14 is driven to rotate by the handle 12. During the rotation of the engaging claw 14, the stretching member 13 will slide into the U-shaped groove 15 at the end of the engaging claw 14. When the user feels that the handle 12 can no longer rotate, it indicates that the stretching member 13 is in contact with the end of the U-shaped groove 15. At this time, the user pulls the key 11 downward, and with the cooperation of the engaging claw 14 and the stretching member 13, the locking rod 7 is displaced downward, and the lock hook 8 on the locking rod 7 is separated from the lock hole of the second fixing portion 6. The mechanical lock is opened, and the door body 2 is opened.

[0075] When the door 2 needs to be closed, the user first uses the key 11 to move the lock hook 8 downward to prevent the lock hook 8 in the initial position from making the door 2 unable to close. When the door 2 is in the closed state, the key 11 is released, the lock rod 7 returns to the initial position under the action of the reset member 10, the lock hook 8 is reinserted into the lock hole of the second fixing portion 6, and the door 2 is closed.

[0076] Then the user rotates the handle 12 in the opposite direction. As the engaging claw 14 rotates in the opposite direction, the stretching member 13 is separated from the U-shaped groove 15 at the end of the engaging claw 14. When the handle 12 cannot be rotated, it indicates that the U-shaped groove 15 is separated from the current stretching member 13 and is blocked by the remaining stretching members 13. At this time, the key 11 can be removed from the locking rod 7.

[0077] Furthermore, in the present invention, the distance between the U-shaped groove 15 and the handle 12 needs to be greater than or equal to the distance between the stretching member 13 and the bottom of the door body 2. When the stretching member 13 is screwed into the U-shaped groove 15, the handle 12 is located below the door body 2, making it convenient for the user to apply downward force to pull the locking rod 7.

[0078] Since the engaging claw 14 in the present invention is a hollow structure, the distance between the keyhole and the locking rod 7 is narrow, and the stretching member 13 is located at a deeper position inside the door body 2, it can prevent criminals from forcibly breaking it open with tools such as screwdrivers and needle-nosed pliers, thereby ensuring the safety of the bus stop sign.

[0079] Furthermore, the key hole of the mechanical lock in the present invention is arranged below the door body 2 and is arranged downward, which can prevent rainwater from entering and further increase the safety of the bus stop sign due to the relatively concealed arrangement.

[0080] The bus stop sign of the present invention is provided with two insurances, an electronic lock and a mechanical lock. The electronic lock will be opened only under authorized conditions. Therefore, even if the key 11 of the mechanical lock is lost, the safety of the bus stop sign can be guaranteed. Under the premise of providing the electronic lock, the mechanical lock of the bus stop sign can adopt a universal key, thereby saving the inconvenience of the staff carrying a large number of keys. On the other hand, the mechanical lock of the bus stop sign of the present invention is a structure in which a tensile member 13 and an engaging claw 14 cooperate, which can prevent lawbreakers from forcibly breaking it open with tools such as screwdrivers and pliers, thereby further increasing the safety of the bus stop sign.

[0081] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and does not limit the present invention in any form. Although the present invention has been disclosed as a preferred embodiment as above, it is not used to limit the present invention. Any technician familiar with this patent can make some changes or modifications to equivalent embodiments of equivalent changes by using the technical content suggested above without departing from the scope of the technical solution of the present invention. The implementation scheme in the above embodiment can also be further combined or replaced. However, any simple modification, equivalent change and modification made to the above embodiment based on the technical essence of the present invention without departing from the content of the technical solution of the present invention still falls within the scope of the solution of the present invention.
