[0021] The following is a further detailed description of the specific implementation of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate the present invention, but are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0022] In the description of the present utility model, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "top", "bottom", etc. indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present utility model and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present utility model. It should be understood that the terms "first", "second", etc. are used in the present utility model to describe various information, but such information should not be limited to these terms, which are only used to distinguish the same type of information from each other. For example, without departing from the scope of the present utility model, the "first" information may also be referred to as the "second" information, and similarly, the "second" information may also be referred to as the "first" information.

[0023] The spring piece of the utility model is used to conduct the first trigger point and the second trigger point 101 on the circuit board 100 of the electronic anti-disassembly device, and the second trigger point 101 and the first trigger point are arranged at intervals, such as Figures 1 to 3As shown, the spring piece includes a fixing member 1 fixed on the circuit board 100 and electrically connected to the first trigger point, the fixing member 1 is connected to a connecting member 2 extending away from the circuit board 100 and a deformable member 4 connected to the connecting member 2, the deformable member 4 is connected to a conducting arm 5 spaced apart from the second trigger point 101, the deformable member 4 can be elastically deformed to make the conducting arm 5 move toward the second trigger point 101 and electrically connected to the second trigger point 101; the side of the fixing member 1 away from the connecting member 2 is also connected to a limiting member 3, the limiting member 3 has a limiting groove 31, when the conducting arm 5 moves toward the second trigger point 101, the limiting groove 31 prevents the conducting arm 5 from deviating to the outside of the second trigger point 101.

[0024] Specifically, the second trigger point 101 is located below the limit slot 31, the lower part of the conduction arm 5 is inserted in the limit slot 31, and the upper end of the conduction arm 5 protrudes above the limit slot 31. When the deformable part 4 is pressed downward, the conduction arm 5 moves downward under the constraint of the limit slot 31. Therefore, the conduction arm 5 can be prevented from deflecting to one side of the second trigger point 101, thereby ensuring that the lower end of the conduction arm 5 can smoothly contact the second trigger point 101, thereby ensuring that the electronic tag can be used for a long time.

[0025] Among them, the limiting member 3 includes a first plate-shaped portion 32 and a second plate-shaped portion 33 arranged relatively at an interval. The first plate-shaped portion 32 and the second plate-shaped portion 33 are respectively fixed on both sides of the fixing member 1. The interval between the first plate-shaped portion 32 and the second plate-shaped portion 33 forms a limiting groove 31, and the second trigger point 101 is located below the limiting groove 31.

[0026] Specifically, the first plate-shaped portion 32 and the second plate-shaped portion 33 are both bent, the second trigger point 101 is located between the first plate-shaped portion 32 and the second plate-shaped portion 33 , and the second trigger point 101 is spaced apart from the first plate-shaped portion 32 and the second plate-shaped portion 33 .

[0027] In this embodiment, in order to ensure the connection stability between the fixing member 1 and the circuit board 100, the fixing member 1 is a third plate-shaped portion arranged parallel to the circuit board 100. Specifically, when installing the spring sheet, the lower end of the fixing member 1 is fitted with the upper end of the circuit board 100. Setting the fixing member 1 as the third plate-shaped portion can increase the contact area between the fixing member 1 and the circuit board 100, thereby ensuring the connection stability of the fixing member 1 on the circuit board 100.

The deformable member 4 includes a fifth plate-shaped portion 41 arranged parallel to the circuit board 100 and a sixth plate-shaped portion 42 extending obliquely above the limiting groove 31, and one end of the fifth plate-shaped portion 41 away from the sixth plate-shaped portion 42 is connected to the connecting member 2, and one end of the sixth plate-shaped portion 42 away from the fifth plate-shaped portion 41 is connected to the conducting arm 5.

[0029] Specifically, the fifth plate-shaped portion 41 and the sixth plate-shaped portion 42 are arranged at an obtuse angle, and one end of the conducting arm 5 away from the sixth plate-shaped portion 42 extends toward the direction close to the second trigger point 101 and is provided with a rolled portion 6. When the deformable member 4 is pressed downward, the lower end of the conducting arm 5 will produce a certain amount of horizontal movement relative to the second trigger point 101 when it contacts the second trigger point 101. In this embodiment, the lower end of the conducting arm 5 is provided with a rolled portion 6, which enables the lower end of the conducting arm 5 to slide directly with the second trigger point 101, and the outer peripheral side of the rolled portion 6 can always contact the upper end of the second trigger point 101, thereby ensuring the reliability of the electrical connection between the conducting arm 5 and the second trigger point 101.

[0030] In this embodiment, a bending portion 7 is provided between the upper end of the conductive arm 5 and the sixth plate-like portion 42, and a reinforcing rib 71 is provided in the middle of the bending portion 7. The reinforcing rib 71 increases the strength at the corner between the conductive arm 5 and the deformable member 4. When the deformable member 4 is pressed downward, the angle of the bending portion 7 remains unchanged, while the angle at the corner between the deformable member 4 and the connecting member changes.

[0031] In this embodiment, the fixing member 1, the limit member, the connecting member, the deformable member 4 and the conducting arm 5 are integrally stamped from a plate, and the connecting member is a fourth plate-shaped portion arranged perpendicular to the circuit board 100, thereby reducing the processing and manufacturing cost of the spring piece and facilitating mass processing of the spring piece. Specifically, the rolled portion 6 and the reinforcing ribs 71 arranged at the position of the bending portion 7 are both processed by stamping. In other embodiments of the utility model, the spring piece can be set as a split structure, that is, the first plate-shaped portion 32 and the second plate-shaped portion 33 are fixed to the end of the fixing member 1 by welding, and the fixing member 1, the connecting member, the deformable member 4 and the conducting arm 5 are integrally formed by stamping. Among them, the spring piece can be made of a stainless steel sheet or a copper sheet with good elasticity.

[0033] Specifically, the fixing member 1 is welded on the circuit board 100 of the electronic anti-disassembly device, the first trigger point of the circuit board 100 abuts against the fixing member 1, and the second trigger point 101 of the circuit board 100 is located in the limiting groove 31 of the spring sheet and is arranged with a relative spacing from the conducting arm 5 of the spring sheet. In order to facilitate the installation of the electronic anti-disassembly device at the desired position, in this embodiment, the electronic anti-disassembly device includes a shell, the circuit board 100 is arranged in the shell, and a notch is provided at the first end of the shell opposite to the spring sheet for the deformable member 4 to pass through the shell. The first end of the shell is connected to the outside of the device to be marked by bonding or bolting. After the shell is installed on the outer layer of the device, the device will press the deformable member 4, so that the conducting arm 5 moves in the direction close to the circuit board 100 and contacts the second trigger point 101. When the anti-disassembly device is removed from the device, the deformable member 4 is no longer pressed by the device and recovers under the action of its own elastic force, so that the conducting arm 5 is out of contact with the second trigger point 101.

[0034] In summary, the spring piece of the utility model includes a fixing member 1 fixed on the circuit board 100 and electrically connected to the first trigger point, and the two opposite ends of the fixing member 1 are respectively provided with a connecting member and a limiting member, and the limiting member is provided with a limiting groove 31 arranged opposite to the second trigger point 101 up and down; the end of the connecting member away from the fixing member 1 extends in the direction away from the circuit board 100 and is provided with a deformable member 4, and the end of the deformable member 4 away from the connecting member extends to the upper side of the limiting groove 31 and is provided with a conducting arm 5, and the lower part of the conducting arm 5 is inserted in the limiting groove 31, and pressing the deformable member 4 downward can make the lower end of the conducting arm 5 contact with the second trigger point 101, and the limiting groove 31 plays a role in constraining the conducting arm to prevent the conducting arm from deflecting to one side of the second trigger point 101, thereby ensuring that the lower end of the conducting arm can smoothly contact the second trigger point 101, thereby ensuring that the electronic tag can be used for a long time; in addition, the spring piece of the utility model can be integrally formed by stamping, which is convenient for mass processing, so that the spring piece of the utility model has the prospect of large-scale promotion.

[0035] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and substitutions can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present invention. These improvements and substitutions should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
