Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of positioning device technology, and in particular to a motorcycle positioning component. Background Technology

[0002] A positioning device is a device that uses satellite positioning and uploads the obtained positioning data to a server via a mobile communication module (GSM / GPRS network). Positioning devices typically include a positioning module and a communication module. The positioning module acquires the device's location information, and the communication module then transmits this information to a cloud server. Users interact with the cloud server using their mobile terminal devices (such as mobile phones) to obtain the device's location information.

[0003] To monitor the location of motorcycles and prevent theft, many motorcycles are now equipped with tracking devices. However, once a motorcycle is stolen, if the tracking device is removed, it becomes difficult for the user to determine the motorcycle's whereabouts, thus increasing the difficulty of recovering it. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a motorcycle positioning component that enables the motorcycle to be unable to start after the positioning device is removed, thus providing an anti-theft function.

[0005] This invention provides a motorcycle positioning component, including a positioning device and an electrical connection device that plugs into the positioning device. The positioning device includes a housing and a circuit module disposed within the housing. The circuit module includes a positioning module, a communication module, a control module, and a conduction circuit. The positioning module and the communication module are both electrically connected to the control module. The electrical connection device is used to electrically connect to the motorcycle's ECU and ignition system, respectively. When the positioning device is plugged into the electrical connection device, the ECU and the igniter are electrically connected through the conduction circuit; when the positioning device is separated from the electrical connection device, the ECU and the igniter are disconnected.

[0006] In one possible implementation, the electrical connection device includes a base and a first electrical connection terminal and a second electrical connection terminal disposed within the base, the first electrical connection terminal and the second electrical connection terminal being used for electrical connection with the ECU and the igniter, respectively; a third electrical connection terminal and a fourth electrical connection terminal are provided within the housing, the third electrical connection terminal and the fourth electrical connection terminal being electrically connected to both ends of the conductive circuit, respectively; When the positioning device is plugged into the electrical connection device, the third electrical connection terminal contacts and is electrically connected to the first electrical connection terminal, and the fourth electrical connection terminal contacts and is electrically connected to the second electrical connection terminal; when the positioning device is separated from the electrical connection device, the third electrical connection terminal separates from the first electrical connection terminal, and the fourth electrical connection terminal separates from the second electrical connection terminal.

[0007] In one possible implementation, the base includes a first plug-in portion, wherein both the first electrical connection terminal and the second electrical connection terminal are disposed within the first plug-in portion; the housing includes a second plug-in portion that plugs into and mates with the first plug-in portion, wherein both the third electrical connection terminal and the fourth electrical connection terminal are disposed within the second plug-in portion.

[0008] In one possible implementation, the second plug portion is provided with a bracket, and the third electrical connection terminal and the fourth electrical connection terminal are both disposed on the bracket, and the bracket is provided with a protrusion; the first plug portion is provided with a relief groove corresponding to the position of the protrusion; when the positioning device is plugged into the electrical connection device, the protrusion is located in the relief groove.

[0009] In one possible implementation, the circuit module further includes a circuit board, wherein the positioning module, the communication module, and the control module are all disposed on the circuit board and are all electrically connected to the circuit board; the conducting circuit is a metal line printed on the circuit board.

[0010] In one possible implementation, the motorcycle positioning assembly further includes an adapter for plugging into the electrical connection device, the adapter having a built-in adapter circuit; when the adapter is plugged into the electrical connection device, the ECU and the igniter are electrically connected through the adapter circuit.

[0011] In one possible implementation, the circuit module further includes a Hall sensor, which is electrically connected to the control module; the electrical connection device contains a magnetic component; when the positioning device is separated from the electrical connection device, the Hall sensor outputs a voltage signal to the control module, and upon receiving the voltage signal, the control module sends an alarm message to a preset mobile terminal device through the communication module.

[0012] In one possible implementation, the conduction circuit is provided with a switch, which is electrically connected to the control module; the control module is used to control the switch to open or close, so as to make the conduction circuit conduct or disconnect.

[0013] In one possible implementation, the circuit module further includes an acceleration sensor, which is electrically connected to the control module; when the acceleration sensor detects that the motorcycle's tilt angle exceeds a preset angle range, the control module controls the switch to close.

[0014] In one possible implementation, the circuit module further includes a temperature sensor, which is electrically connected to the control module; when the temperature value detected by the temperature sensor exceeds a preset temperature range, the control module controls the switch to close.

[0015] The motorcycle positioning component provided by this invention functions as both a positioning device and an electrical connector. When a motorcycle is stolen, if the positioning device remains connected to the electrical connector, the user can track the motorcycle's real-time location because the device is located on the motorcycle. If the positioning device is removed after the motorcycle is stolen, the motorcycle cannot be started and cannot be ridden away. The user can locate the motorcycle based on the last location recorded by the device, thus reducing the difficulty of recovering a stolen motorcycle and improving its security. Therefore, this motorcycle positioning component provides an anti-theft function by preventing the motorcycle from starting after the positioning device is removed. Furthermore, the positioning device is concealed and deceptive, reducing the risk of it being removed. Attached Figure Description

[0028] The specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.

[0029] The terms “first,” “second,” “third,” “fourth,” etc. (if present) in the specification and claims of this invention are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence.

[0030] The directional terms such as "up," "down," "left," "right," "front," "back," "top," and "bottom" (if present) used in the specification and claims of this invention are defined by the position of the structures in the drawings and the relative positions of the structures, and are only for the clarity and convenience of expressing the technical solution. It should be understood that the use of directional terms should not limit the scope of protection claimed by this invention.

[0031] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, the motorcycle positioning component provided in this embodiment of the invention includes a positioning device 1 and an electrical connection device 2 that plugs into and cooperates with the positioning device 1. The electrical connection device 2 is used to electrically connect to the motorcycle's ECU 5 (i.e., electronic control unit) and ignition device 6 (i.e., motorcycle ignition device), respectively. Under normal circumstances, when the user turns on the ignition switch (the ignition switch can be in the form of a key, button, NFC, ignition pedal, etc.), an ignition signal is generated. The ignition switch transmits the ignition signal to the ECU 5, and the ECU 5 then transmits the ignition signal to the ignition device 6. Upon receiving the ignition signal, the ignition device 6 performs the ignition action, causing the motorcycle to start.

[0032] The positioning device 1 includes a housing 11 and a circuit module 12 disposed within the housing 11. The circuit module 12 includes a positioning module 121, a communication module 122, a control module 123, and a conduction circuit 124. Both the positioning module 121 and the communication module 122 are electrically connected to the control module 123. The positioning module 121 is used to receive positioning information, that is, the positioning module 121 is used to obtain the location information of the positioning device 1. The communication module 122 plays a role in remote wireless communication. The control module 123 can wirelessly transmit the location information obtained by the positioning module 121 to a preset mobile terminal device 7 (such as a user's mobile phone, computer, etc.) through the communication module 122, thereby obtaining the location information of the positioning device 1, and then obtaining the location information of the motorcycle. The communication module 122 can directly transmit the location information to the mobile terminal device 7, or it can first transmit the location information to a cloud platform (not shown, i.e., a cloud server), and then the mobile terminal device 7 interacts with the cloud platform to obtain the location information. For details on the specific functions and working principles of the communication module 122 and the positioning module 121, please refer to the existing technology, which will not be elaborated here.

[0033] When the positioning device 1 is plugged into the electrical connection device 2, the electrical connection device 2 is electrically connected to the conductive circuit 124 in the positioning device 1. The ECU 5 and the igniter 6 are electrically connected through the electrical connection device 2 and the conductive circuit 124. That is, the ECU 5 can transmit the ignition signal to the igniter 6, and the motorcycle maintains normal ignition and starting function. When the positioning device 1 is separated from the electrical connection device 2, the electrical connection device 2 is disconnected from the conductive circuit 124 in the positioning device 1, causing the ECU 5 and the igniter 6 to disconnect. That is, the ECU 5 cannot transmit the ignition signal to the igniter 6, and the motorcycle cannot start.

[0034] The motorcycle positioning component provided in this embodiment includes a positioning device 1 that functions as both a positioning device and an electrical connector. When the motorcycle is stolen, if the positioning device 1 is not removed (i.e., it remains electrically connected to the electrical connector 2), the user can track the motorcycle's real-time location because the positioning device 1 is located on the motorcycle. If the positioning device 1 is removed after the motorcycle is stolen (i.e., it separates from the electrical connector 2), the motorcycle cannot be started, meaning it cannot be ridden away directly. The user can then locate the motorcycle based on the last location recorded by the positioning device 1, thus reducing the difficulty of recovering a stolen motorcycle and improving its security. Therefore, this motorcycle positioning component can achieve the anti-theft function of preventing the motorcycle from starting after the positioning device 1 is removed. Simultaneously, the positioning device 1 is also concealed and deceptive (i.e., it is easily mistaken for an electrical connector rather than a locator), thereby reducing the risk of the positioning device 1 being removed.

[0035] like Figures 1 to 5 and Figure 8 As shown, in one embodiment, the electrical connection device 2 includes a base 21 and a first electrical connection terminal 22 and a second electrical connection terminal 23 disposed within the base 21. The first electrical connection terminal 22 and the second electrical connection terminal 23 are used for electrical connection with the ECU 5 and the igniter 6, respectively. A third electrical connection terminal 13 and a fourth electrical connection terminal 14 are disposed within the housing 11, and the third electrical connection terminal 13 and the fourth electrical connection terminal 14 are respectively electrically connected to both ends of the conductive circuit 124. The number of the first electrical connection terminal 22, the second electrical connection terminal 23, the third electrical connection terminal 13, and the fourth electrical connection terminal 14 can be two, three, or more (depending on actual needs). Multiple first electrical connection terminals 22 correspond one-to-one with multiple third electrical connection terminals 13, and multiple second electrical connection terminals 23 correspond one-to-one with multiple fourth electrical connection terminals 14. The base 21 can be made of insulating materials such as rubber or plastic, and the housing 11 can be made of insulating materials such as plastic.

[0036] When the positioning device 1 is plugged into the electrical connection device 2, multiple third electrical connection terminals 13 respectively contact and are electrically connected to multiple first electrical connection terminals 22, and multiple fourth electrical connection terminals 14 respectively contact and are electrically connected to multiple second electrical connection terminals 23. At this time, the electrical connection device 2 is electrically connected to the conductive circuit 124 in the positioning device 1. When the positioning device 1 is separated from the electrical connection device 2, the third electrical connection terminals 13 are separated from the first electrical connection terminals 22, and the fourth electrical connection terminals 14 are separated from the second electrical connection terminals 23. At this time, the electrical connection device 2 is disconnected from the conductive circuit 124 in the positioning device 1.

[0037] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first electrical connection terminal 22 and the second electrical connection terminal 23 are both hollow terminals, while the third electrical connection terminal 13 and the fourth electrical connection terminal 14 are both solid terminals. When the positioning device 1 is inserted into the electrical connection device 2, the third electrical connection terminal 13 is inserted into the first electrical connection terminal 22, and the fourth electrical connection terminal 14 is inserted into the second electrical connection terminal 23 to achieve a stable electrical connection. Of course, in other embodiments, the first electrical connection terminal 22, the second electrical connection terminal 23, the third electrical connection terminal 13, and the fourth electrical connection terminal 14 can also be in other structural forms (e.g., in the form of a spring pin).

[0038] like Figures 1 to 5 and Figure 8As shown, in one embodiment, the base 21 includes a first plug-in portion 211, and a first electrical connection terminal 22 and a second electrical connection terminal 23 are both disposed within the first plug-in portion 211; the housing 11 includes a main body portion 111 and a second plug-in portion 112 connected to the main body portion 111 (specifically, they can be integrally connected), the second plug-in portion 112 is plugged into the first plug-in portion 211, the main body portion 111 has a hollow structure, the circuit module 12 is disposed within the main body portion 111, and the third electrical connection terminal 13 and the fourth electrical connection terminal 14 are both disposed within the second plug-in portion 112.

[0039] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first plug-in portion 211 is a solid structure, and the first electrical connection terminal 22 and the second electrical connection terminal 23 are both embedded in the first plug-in portion 211. The second plug-in portion 112 is a hollow structure, and a bracket 113 is provided inside the second plug-in portion 112. The bracket 113 is made of plastic and is fixed inside the second plug-in portion 112 (specifically, it can be fixed by abutment, snap-fit, adhesive, screw, etc.). The third electrical connection terminal 13 and the fourth electrical connection terminal 14 are both fixedly disposed on the bracket 113 (specifically, the bracket 113 can be injection molded based on the third electrical connection terminal 13 and the fourth electrical connection terminal 14, so that the third electrical connection terminal 13 and the fourth electrical connection terminal 14 are fitted and fixed with the bracket 113), which facilitates assembly. The bracket 113 is provided with a protrusion 114, and the first insertion part 211 is provided with a relief groove 212 corresponding to the position of the protrusion 114. When the positioning device 1 is plugged into the electrical connection device 2, the first insertion part 211 is inserted into the second insertion part 112, and the protrusion 114 is inserted into / located in the relief groove 212. By setting the protrusion 114 and the relief groove 212 to cooperate, it can not only guide the first insertion part 211 and the second insertion part 112 when they are plugged in, but also limit the first insertion part 211 and the second insertion part 112, preventing relative rotation of the first insertion part 211 and the second insertion part 112, and ensuring the connection stability between the terminals. In this embodiment, the protrusion 114 is provided on opposite sides of the bracket 113, and the relief groove 212 is provided on the sidewalls of opposite sides of the first insertion part 211.

[0040] In this embodiment, a sealing ring 116 is also provided inside the second insertion portion 112. The sealing ring 116 is located on the side of the bracket 113 away from the main body 111, and the sealing ring 116 is in contact with the inner wall of the second insertion portion 112. When the first insertion portion 211 is inserted into the second insertion portion 112, the sealing ring 116 is sandwiched between the first insertion portion 211 and the second insertion portion 112 to seal the connection between the first insertion portion 211 and the second insertion portion 112.

[0041] In this embodiment, a limiting part 216 is provided on the outer wall of the base 21. The limiting part 216 is located on the side of the first insertion part 211 away from the positioning device 1. When the first insertion part 211 is inserted into the second insertion part 112, the end of the second insertion part 112 abuts against the limiting part 216, thereby axially limiting the first insertion part 211 and the second insertion part 112.

[0042] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in one embodiment, the base 21 is provided with a first connecting part 213, and the housing 11 is provided with a second connecting part 115. When the positioning device 1 and the electrical connecting device 2 are inserted, the first connecting part 213 and the second connecting part 115 are fixed by snap-fit. By providing the first connecting part 213 and the second connecting part 115, not only can the positioning device 1 and the electrical connecting device 2 be inserted, further fixing the positioning device 1 and the electrical connecting device 2 and preventing them from separating under external vibration or other forces, but it can also play a foolproof role when the first insertion part 211 and the second insertion part 112 are inserted, preventing reverse insertion (i.e., ensuring that each terminal can be correctly inserted).

[0043] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first connecting part 213 is an elastic arm, which can be made of elastic materials such as plastic or rubber. There is a gap 210 between the first connecting part 213 and the outer surface of the base 21. The gap 210 is used to accommodate the side wall of the second insertion part 112. The end of the first connecting part 213 away from the positioning device 1 is fixedly connected to the base 21, and the part where the base 21 is connected to the first connecting part 213 is located on the side of the first insertion part 211 away from the positioning device 1. The end of the first connecting part 213 near the positioning device 1 is suspended, and the end of the first connecting part 213 near the positioning device 1 is provided with an upwardly extending protruding part 215. The side of the protruding part 215 near the positioning device 1 is provided with a first inclined surface 2150. The first connecting part 213 is provided with a slot 214, which is a long strip structure and is located on the side of the protruding part 215 away from the positioning device 1. The second connecting part 115 is a protrusion provided on the outer surface of the second insertion part 112. A second inclined surface 1150 is provided on the side of the second connecting part 115 near the electrical connecting device 2. When the positioning device 1 is inserted into the electrical connecting device 2, as the first insertion part 211 is gradually inserted into the second insertion part 112, the first inclined surface 2150 on the protruding part 215, under the resistance of the second inclined surface 1150 on the second connecting part 115, causes the first connecting part 213 to elastically deform upwards, ultimately causing the second connecting part 115 to be locked in the slot 214, thus facilitating the connection between the first connecting part 213 and the second connecting part 115. When it is necessary to separate the positioning device 1 from the electrical connecting device 2, simply push the protruding part 215 upwards to disengage the second connecting part 115 from the slot 214, thus easily separating the positioning device 1 from the electrical connecting device 2. Meanwhile, the raised part 215 is provided with a finger hole 2151, which is used for the user to insert their finger so that the user can use their finger to move the raised part 215 upward.

[0044] Of course, in other embodiments, the first connecting part 213 and the second connecting part 115 may also be in other structural forms, and the first connecting part 213 and the second connecting part 115 may also be fixed by means of screw connection or other methods.

[0045] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, in one embodiment, the circuit module 12 further includes a circuit board 120, which is a rigid circuit board (PCB). The positioning module 121, communication module 122, control module 123, and conduction circuit 124 are all disposed on the circuit board 120 and electrically connected to the circuit board 120. One end of the third electrical connection terminal 13 and one end of the fourth electrical connection terminal 14 are also electrically connected to the circuit board 120. Specifically, in this embodiment, the conduction circuit 124 is a metal line printed on the circuit board 120, which facilitates the setting of the conduction circuit 124 and reduces the space occupied by the conduction circuit 124. Of course, in other embodiments, the conduction circuit 124 can also be an additional wire, metal connector, etc.

[0046] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in one embodiment, the electrical connection device 2 is provided with a first cable 41 and a second cable 42. The first cable 41 is electrically connected to the first electrical connection terminal 22, and the second cable 42 is electrically connected to the second electrical connection terminal 23. The first cable 41 and the second cable 42 are respectively used for electrical connection with the ECU 5 and the igniter 6, that is, the first electrical connection terminal 22 is electrically connected to the ECU 5 through the first cable 41, and the second electrical connection terminal 23 is electrically connected to the igniter 6 through the second cable 42. In this embodiment, the first end of the first electrical connection terminal 22 and the first end of the second electrical connection terminal 23 are exposed to the side wall of the base 21 near the positioning device 1 (the end of the first end of the first electrical connection terminal 22 and the end of the first end of the second electrical connection terminal 23 are flush with the side wall of the base 21). The first cable 41 and the second cable 42 are both located on the side of the base 21 away from the positioning device 1, and the first cable 41 and the second cable 42 both extend into the base 21 and are electrically connected to the second end of the first electrical connection terminal 22 and the second end of the second electrical connection terminal 23, respectively.

[0047] In one embodiment, a battery (not shown) is housed within the main body 111 of the housing 11. The battery is electrically connected to the circuit board 120 to power the positioning device 1. The circuit board 120 is also electrically connected to the ECU 5 via a third electrical connection terminal 13 and a first electrical connection terminal 22, so that the battery can be charged by the motorcycle's power supply when the battery power is insufficient (i.e., a portion of the third electrical connection terminal 13 and the first electrical connection terminal 22 is used to connect the ECU 5 and the ignition device 6, and another portion of the third electrical connection terminal 13 and the first electrical connection terminal 22 is used to connect the circuit board 120 and the ECU 5).

[0048] In one implementation, the communication module 122 is a 2G / 4G dual-band network communication module, meaning it is compatible with both 2G and 4G networks. The positioning module 121 is a GPS / BD dual-positioning module, meaning it is compatible with both GPS and BeiDou positioning. The control module 123 can be an MCU (microcontroller unit), etc.

[0049] like Figures 1 to 6 and Figure 9 As shown, in one embodiment, the motorcycle positioning assembly also includes an adapter 3 for plugging into the electrical connection device 2. The adapter 3 contains an adapter circuit 34. When the adapter 3 is plugged into the electrical connection device 2, the ECU 5 and the igniter 6 are electrically connected through the adapter circuit 34. The purpose of providing the adapter 3 in this embodiment is that when the positioning device 1 is no longer needed or is damaged and cannot be used, in order to ensure the normal ignition function of the motorcycle, the positioning device 1 can be disconnected from the electrical connection device 2, and then the adapter 3 can be plugged into the electrical connection device 2, so that the ECU 5 and the igniter 6 are electrically connected through the electrical connection device 2 and the adapter 3, so that the motorcycle can be used normally.

[0050] Specifically, the adapter 3 includes a housing 31, which includes a third plug-in portion 311 and a receiving portion 312 connected to each other. The third plug-in portion 311 contains a fifth electrical connection terminal 32 and a sixth electrical connection terminal 33. An adapter circuit 34 is disposed within the receiving portion 312, and the fifth and sixth electrical connection terminals 32 and 33 are electrically connected to their respective ends. When the adapter 3 is plugged into the electrical connection device 2, the first plug-in portion 211 is inserted into the third plug-in portion 311, the fifth electrical connection terminal 32 contacts and is electrically connected to the first electrical connection terminal 22, and the sixth electrical connection terminal 33 contacts and is electrically connected to the second electrical connection terminal 23, thereby enabling the electrical connection device 2 and the adapter 3 to conduct electricity. In this embodiment, the receiving portion 312 contains an adapter circuit board (not shown), and the adapter circuit 34 is a metal circuit printed on the adapter circuit board; of course, in other embodiments, the adapter circuit 34 can also be an additionally provided wire, metal connector, etc. The fifth electrical connection terminal 32 and the sixth electrical connection terminal 33 are the same in number and structure as the third electrical connection terminal 13 and the fourth electrical connection terminal 14, respectively; the third plug-in part 311 has the same structure as the second plug-in part 112, and the third plug-in part 311 is also provided with a bracket, sealing ring, etc. That is, compared with the positioning device 1, the adapter 3 is the same as or similar to the positioning device 1 except that it does not have the positioning module 121, communication module 122, control module 123, battery, etc.

[0051] like Figure 10As shown, in another embodiment, the circuit module 12 also includes a Hall sensor 125, which is electrically connected to the control module 123. Specifically, the Hall sensor 125 can be disposed on the circuit board 120 and electrically connected to the circuit board 120 (i.e., the Hall sensor 125 is located inside the main body 111), or the Hall sensor 125 can be disposed inside the second plug-in portion 112. The electrical connection device 2 is provided with a magnetic component 24, which can be embedded in the first plug-in portion 211; the magnetic component 24 can specifically be a magnet, a magnet steel, etc. When the positioning device 1 is separated from the electrical connection device 2, the Hall sensor 125 outputs a voltage signal to the control module 123. After receiving the voltage signal, the control module 123 sends an alarm message to the preset mobile terminal device 7 through the communication module 122, so that the user is aware that the positioning device 1 has been removed in a timely manner, realizing the removal alarm function and improving the safety of the motorcycle. The communication module 122 can directly transmit alarm information to the mobile terminal device 7, or it can first transmit the alarm information to the cloud platform, and then the cloud platform transmits the alarm information to the mobile terminal device 7.

[0052] Specifically, the Hall sensor 125 is an electronic switch that uses a magnetic field as a sensor to control a device by detecting changes in the magnetic field strength. It is a non-contact switch that can detect the presence of a magnet. The principle of the Hall sensor 125 is that it has a built-in magnet and a miniature electronic component. When it approaches an external magnetic field, it generates a voltage. In this embodiment, the Hall sensor 125 is a linear Hall sensor. When the magnetic field strength detected by the Hall sensor 125 is different, the voltage signal output by the Hall sensor 125 will also be different. The voltage signal value output by the Hall sensor 125 is proportional to the magnetic field strength. When the positioning device 1 is connected to the electrical connection device 2, the Hall sensor 125 is close to the magnetic component 24, and the Hall sensor 125 outputs a high voltage signal to the control module 123. At this time, the control module 123 does not issue an alarm message. When the positioning device 1 is separated from the electrical connection device 2, the Hall sensor 125 is far from the magnetic component 24, and the Hall sensor 125 outputs a low voltage signal to the control module 123. After receiving the low voltage signal, the control module 123 sends an alarm message to the preset mobile terminal device 7 through the communication module 122. In this embodiment, the control module 123 uses the voltage signal value output by the Hall sensor 125 to the control module 123 when the positioning device 1 is connected to the electrical connection device 2 as the calibration value. When the positioning device 1 is separated from the electrical connection device 2, if the voltage signal value output by the Hall sensor 125 to the control module 123 exceeds the threshold, the control module 123 sends an alarm message to the preset mobile terminal device 7 through the communication module 122. The threshold value can be 95% to 105% of the calibration value (i.e., the error does not exceed ±5%), or 97% to 103% of the calibration value (i.e., the error does not exceed ±3%). The advantage of this setup is that when the positioning device 1 is separated from the electrical connection device 2, if criminals want to use an external magnet to eliminate the alarm (i.e., use an external magnet to induce the Hall sensor 125 to generate a voltage signal), since criminals cannot directly obtain the magnetic field strength of the magnetic component 24, and the above threshold is strictly limited to the vicinity of the calibrated value, it is not easy for the external magnet to guide the Hall sensor 125 to generate a voltage signal within the above threshold range. Thus, criminals cannot easily use an external magnet to eliminate the alarm (i.e., the technical effect of eliminating the alarm can only be achieved by reconnecting the positioning device 1 and the electrical connection device 2).

[0053] like Figure 11As shown, in another embodiment, a switch 126 is provided on the conducting circuit 124. The switch 126 is located between the third electrical connection terminal 13 and the fourth electrical connection terminal 14, and the switch 126 is electrically connected to the control module 123. Specifically, the switch 126 can be mounted on the circuit board 120 and electrically connected to the circuit board 120. The control module 123 is used to control the switch 126 to open (i.e., close) or close (i.e., disconnect), so that the conducting circuit 124 is conducted or disconnected, thereby enabling or preventing the motorcycle from starting. The user can use the mobile terminal device 7 to send control commands to the control module 123 through the communication module 122 to control the opening and closing of the switch 126, thereby realizing the function of remotely locking the motorcycle. Specifically, the switch 126 can be an electromagnetic switch, a MOSFET switch, etc.

[0054] Meanwhile, circuit module 12 also includes an acceleration sensor 128, which is electrically connected to control module 123. Specifically, acceleration sensor 128 can be mounted on circuit board 120 and electrically connected to circuit board 120. When acceleration sensor 128 detects that the motorcycle's tilt angle exceeds a preset angle range, control module 123 controls switch 126 to turn off, so that the motorcycle cannot be started.

[0055] Specifically, the accelerometer 128 (also known as a G-sensor) is a sensor that estimates the velocity and displacement of an object by measuring its acceleration. It can detect the acceleration of an object in the X, Y, and Z axes. The accelerometer 128 can detect changes in the object's acceleration force (acceleration force is the force acting on an object during acceleration; various changes in movement such as swaying, falling, rising, and falling can be converted into electrical signals by the G-sensor), measure the object's acceleration and tilt angle, and thus determine the object's motion state and attitude. The accelerometer 128 can be a three-axis accelerometer, a six-axis accelerometer, etc. In this embodiment, when the accelerometer 128 detects that the motorcycle's tilt angle exceeds a preset angle range, the control module 123 determines that the motorcycle has tipped over. At this time, the control module 123 controls the switch 126 to close, preventing the motorcycle from starting and thus avoiding injury caused by a second ignition after tipping over, improving safety. Simultaneously, when the accelerometer 128 detects that the motorcycle's tilt angle is within the preset angle range, the control module 123 controls the switch 126 to open.

[0056] like Figure 12As shown, in another embodiment, in addition to the switch 126 on the conducting circuit 124, the circuit module 12 also includes a temperature sensor 127, which is electrically connected to the control module 123. Specifically, the temperature sensor 127 can be mounted on the circuit board 120 and electrically connected to it. The temperature sensor 127 is used to detect the temperature of the positioning device 1, which also reflects the internal temperature of the motorcycle or the ambient temperature (the positioning device 1 is located inside the motorcycle). When the temperature value detected by the temperature sensor 127 exceeds the preset temperature range, the control module 123 controls the switch 126 to close, preventing the motorcycle from starting.

[0057] Specifically, when the temperature detected by the temperature sensor 127 is too high or too low (the preset temperature range can be, for example, -15℃ to 80℃), it is determined that the current temperature is not suitable for starting the motorcycle (both high and low temperatures will affect the service life of the engine). At this time, the control module 123 controls the switch 126 to close so that the motorcycle cannot be started, thereby avoiding the motorcycle from operating under extreme conditions and affecting its service life.

[0058] Of course, the positioning device 1 can simultaneously house the aforementioned Hall sensor 125, switch 126, acceleration sensor 128, temperature sensor 127, and other components to achieve the corresponding functions.

[0059] The above are merely specific embodiments of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be determined by the scope of the claims.
