[0029] The concept, specific structure and technical effects of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the embodiments and the drawings, so as to fully understand the purpose, features and effects of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present utility model. In addition, all connection / connection relationships involved in the patent do not simply refer to the direct connection of components, but refer to the more optimal connection structure that can be formed by adding or reducing connection accessories according to specific implementation situations. Each technical feature in the creation of the present utility model can be combined interactively without conflicting with each other.

[0030] The present utility model provides an accessory for placing and protecting a tracking device. A sealing member is provided at the opening of the accessory to isolate the cavity from the external environment, which can prevent moisture from entering the cavity of the accessory, protect the electronic components of the tracking device from being damaged, and extend the service life of the protection device.

[0031] The first embodiment:

[0032] Referring to Figures 1 to 7 , this embodiment provides an accessory 1 for placing and protecting a tracking device. The accessory 1 is used as a protective cover. Specifically, a cavity 15 is provided inside the accessory 1, and the cavity is used to assemble the tracking device. An opening 16 is provided on the accessory 1, and the opening 16 communicates the cavity 15 with the external environment. Users can assemble the tracking device into the cavity 15 of the accessory 1 through the opening 16.

[0033] Furthermore, a closure member 20 is provided at the opening 16, and the closure member 20 is used to cover or open the cavity 15. During use, the user separates the closure member 20 from the opening 16 of the accessory 1, places the tracking device into the cavity 15, and then seals the opening 16 through the closure member 20, which can prevent moisture from entering the cavity 15 of the accessory 1, protect the electronic components of the tracking device from being damaged, and extend the service life of the protection device.

[0034] Even further, an attachment member is provided on one side of the accessory, and the accessory can be fixed to an external item through the attachment member. The external item referred to here means the user's valuable items or luggage, which facilitates the user to check the location of the valuable items or luggage at any time and prevent loss.

[0035] Both the accessory 1 and the closure member 20 are made of flexible materials. A sealing groove 19 is provided at the edge of the opening 16 of the accessory 1, and a sealing strip 200 is provided on the outer periphery of the closure member 20. The sealing strip 200 is adapted to the sealing groove 19. It can be understood that due to the ductility of the flexible material, the user can embed the sealing strip 200 into the sealing groove 19 to form an interference fit with the sealing groove 19, achieving the effect of sealing the opening 16.

[0036] In this embodiment, both the accessory 1 and the closure member 20 are made of silicone material. In some other specific embodiments, the accessory 1 and the closure member 20 can also be made of rubber material. Most of the current protective covers on the market are made of plastic materials, which are difficult to degrade and recycle; while in this embodiment, silicone material is selected to make the accessory, and the silicone material can be recycled and reused through certain technical means, reducing resource waste and environmental impact.

[0037] In this embodiment, the bottom 10 of the accessory is set to be planar, the top 11 of the accessory 1 is set to be arc-shaped, and the bottom 10 and the top 11 are connected by a connecting portion 12, and the connecting portion 12 is set to be a cylindrical structure.

[0038] Furthermore, the opening 16 is provided on the connecting portion 12, and the closure member 20 is embedded into the connecting portion 12 to seal the opening 16. It should be particularly noted that compared with the bottom 10 and the top 11, the contact area of the connecting portion 12 is smaller, and the probability that the user touches the sealing strip during use is smaller, so that the sealing strip and the opening 16 can maintain a stable sealing relationship.

[0039] In some other specific embodiments, the opening 16 can be provided on the top 11 of the accessory 1.

[0040] In this embodiment, the bottom 10 of the accessory 1 is self-adhesive. That is to say, the bottom 10 of the accessory 1 serves as an attachment member for connecting to external objects. In some specific scenarios, the attachment member is provided at the bottom 10 of the accessory 1, that is, on the planar structure described above. When connecting the attachment member to an external object, the attachment member can better contact the surface of the external object, and the connection effect is more stable.

[0041] Furthermore, the attachment member is provided as a double-sided tape or an adhesive. Selecting a double-sided tape as the attachment member can have the advantages of rapid bonding and convenient use; selecting an adhesive as the attachment member can achieve a relatively firm bond, and its bonding strength may be higher than that of the double-sided tape. In actual applications, users can also choose other products with bonding or connecting functions as the attachment member.

[0042] In this embodiment, the side of the cavity 15 away from the opening 16 is provided with an arc-shaped structure 17, and a first platform 18 is provided on the side of the cavity 15 close to the opening 16. The first platform 18 can facilitate users to put the tracking device into the cavity 15. During the use of the tracking device, collisions may occur. The arc-shaped structure 17 can buffer the impact force between the tracking device and the inner wall of the cavity. The impact force will be dispersed along the arc-shaped surface, reducing the impact force borne per unit area and protecting the tracking device from being damaged due to collisions.

[0043] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a circular limiting step 110 is provided at the top 11 of the cavity 15. When the tracking device is assembled into the cavity 15, the space formed by the enclosure of the limiting step 110 and the bottom 10 of the cavity 15 serves as the activity space of the tracking device, which can limit the position of the tracking device and prevent the tracking device from shaking violently in the cavity 15.

[0044] In this embodiment, the accessory 1 includes a middle part 13 and an edge part 14. The edge part 14 is provided on the outer periphery of the middle part 13, and the cross-sectional area gradually increases from the middle part 13 to the edge part 14 in an expanding manner.

[0045] It can be understood that the thicker edge part 14 can provide better anti-impact protection. When the accessory 1 is impacted by an external force, the thicker part can absorb and disperse more impact energy, reducing the impact on the tracking device assembled in the cavity 15. In addition, during daily use, the accessory 1 is likely to come into contact and friction with other objects. The thicker design of the edge part 14 can reduce the degree of wear and extend the service life of the accessory 1.

[0046] Second Embodiment:

[0047] Refer to Figures 8 to 9As shown in the figure, the difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that the attachment member includes an adhesive 30 and a magnet 31. The adhesive 30 is disposed between the bottom of the fitting 1 and the magnet 31 for adhering the magnet 31 to the fitting 1. The adhesive 30 is selected as 3M glue that meets industry standards, has the advantage of strong adhesion, and is suitable for bonding scenarios of various materials. The fitting 1 in this embodiment can be connected to a metal component on an external item through the magnetic attraction of the magnet 31.

[0048] The magnetic attraction design enables the fitting 1 in this embodiment to be quickly and easily fixed on the metal frame of the suitcase 32 without using tools or undergoing a complex installation process. The user can assemble the tracker into the fitting 1 at any time when needed and adsorb it to the suitcase 31 without affecting the normal use of the suitcase 32.

[0049] It can be understood that those skilled in the art can, under the guidance of the above embodiments, combine various implementation manners in the above various embodiments to obtain technical solutions of various implementation manners.

[0050] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, and improvements made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
