[0029] The utility model provides an article positioning device. Figures 1 to 4This is a specific embodiment of the article positioning device provided by the utility model.
[0030] Reference Figures 1 to 4 The article positioning device includes a main shell 1, and a fixing structure is provided on the main shell 1. The main shell 1 is attached to the positioning article through the fixing structure;
[0031] A PCB board 13 is provided in the main housing 1 , and a light sensing module 2 is provided on the PCB board 13 . A plurality of through holes 111 are provided on the fitting surface of the main housing 1 corresponding to the light sensing module 2 .
[0032] Specifically, the PCB board 13 is integrated with a global positioning module, a communication module, and a control module. The global positioning module is used to provide positioning, the communication module is used to communicate with the user's mobile phone and other devices, and the control module is used to control the communication module and the global positioning module; a battery 17 is also provided in the main shell 1.
[0033] In this embodiment, when the object positioning device is fixed on the positioning object, the main shell 1 fits with the positioning object, and the positioning object can block the through hole 111 located on the fitting surface of the main shell 1, so that light cannot enter through the through hole 111; when the object positioning device and the positioning object fall off, the positioning object no longer blocks the through hole 111, and light can enter from the through hole 111 at this time. The light intensity change can be sensed by the light sensing module 2 and fed back to the control module, and the control module controls the communication module to send an alarm signal to the user's mobile phone.
[0034] Furthermore, the main shell 1 includes a first shell 11 and a second shell 12, and the through hole 111 is provided on the first shell 11; the PCB board 13 is also provided with a digital display tube 131131, and the first shell 11 is provided with a first window 112 corresponding to the position of the digital display tube 131131. In this embodiment, the remaining power of the battery can be displayed in digital form through the digital display tube 131131, and the user can observe it through the first window 112, which makes it convenient for the user to obtain the remaining power of the battery. Moreover, compared with the existing LED light display method, this power display method has a more specific power display and a lower cost than the existing display screen display method. Specifically, the fixing structure is provided on the second shell 12, and the second shell 12 is in contact with the positioning object. Correspondingly, the through hole 111 is opened on the second shell 12.
[0035] Furthermore, a transparent decorative panel 14 is provided on a side of the first housing 11 facing away from the second housing 12. In this embodiment, the transparent decorative panel 14 protects the first housing 11 from scratches, further enhancing the aesthetics of the object positioning device, and prevents obstruction of the first window 112. Specifically, the transparent decorative panel 14 is detachable from the first housing 11. The first housing 11 is provided with a mounting slot for mounting the transparent decorative panel 14. A positioning slot is provided on the side of the first housing 11 proximal to the transparent decorative panel 14, and the transparent decorative panel 14 is provided with a positioning post that extends into the positioning slot.
[0036] Furthermore, a decorative sheet 15 is provided on a side of the second housing 12 away from the first housing 11. The decorative sheet 15 has a second window 151 corresponding to the through hole 111. In this embodiment, the decorative sheet 15 protects the magnetic element 113, separating it from the positioning object and preventing it from directly contacting the metal panel of the positioning object. This would otherwise cause the magnetic attraction force to be too strong, making the object positioning device difficult to disassemble and the magnetic element 113 prone to falling off during disassembly. The provision of the second window 151 prevents the decorative sheet 15 from blocking the through hole 111.
[0037] Furthermore, the PCB board 13 is provided with several indicator light groups 132, each of which includes several LED lights. The first housing 11 is also provided with a third window 114 corresponding to the position of the LED lights. In this embodiment, the indicator light groups 132 can display the signal strength, charging status, and other information of the object locating device, and the user can observe the LED light display status through the third window 114. Specifically, the transparent decorative panel 14 is provided with indicator marks corresponding to the indicator light groups 132. For example, the LED light group corresponding to the signal strength display has a signal strength mark, and the LED light group corresponding to the charging status has a charging status mark, etc.
[0038] Furthermore, a button 121 is provided through the side of the second housing 12. The button 121 comprises a cassette having a limiting hole (not shown in the figure) defined therein, and a limiting post (not shown in the figure) extending into the limiting hole is provided on the second housing 12. In this embodiment, the button 121 is secured to the second housing 12 via the limiting hole of the cassette and the limiting post of the second housing 12. This fixing method is simple in structure and provides a stable fixation.
[0039] Furthermore, one end of the second housing 12 is provided with a recess 122. The bottom surface of the recess 122 is provided with a charging port and a SIM card slot. A cover 123 is provided within the recess 122 to cover the charging port and the SIM card slot. In this embodiment, the cover 123 protects the charging port and the SIM card slot from water, dust, and the like. Specifically, the charging port is formed by a USB interface provided on the PCB 13 extending through the bottom surface of the recess 122, and the SIM card slot is formed by a SIM card slot provided on the PCB 13 extending through the bottom surface of the recess 122.
[0040] Furthermore, the light-sensing module 2 includes an FPC cable 21 and a light-sensing resistor 22, and the light-sensing resistor 22 is connected to the PCB board 13 via the FPC cable 21. In this embodiment, the light-sensing module 2 is composed of a light-sensing resistor 22 and an FPC cable 21. Specifically, a light-sensing circuit connected to the light-sensing resistor 22 is provided on the PCB board 13. The light-sensing circuit is used to convert the resistance change of the light-sensing resistor 22 into an electrical signal that is easy for the control module to recognize, and includes an amplifier, a filter, and an analog-to-digital converter. Among them, the resistance value of the light-sensing resistor 22 will change with the change of light intensity. When light shines on the light-sensing resistor 22, the resistance value changes. The light-sensing circuit converts the resistance change into an electrical signal and feeds it back to the control module.
[0041] Furthermore, the fixing structure includes a plurality of magnetic members 113 provided on the mating surface of the main shell 1. In this embodiment, the magnetic members 113 enable the object positioning device to be directly adsorbed on the metal panel, making fixation simple and convenient, and suitable for positioning objects with metal panels. Specifically, the magnetic members 113 are magnets. It should be noted that the fixing structure includes but is not limited to the magnetic members 113. In other embodiments, the fixing structure includes screws or buckles, etc.
[0042] Furthermore, a patch 16 is provided within the main housing 1, and the magnetic member 113 is disposed on the patch 16. An opening 115 is defined on the mating surface of the main housing 1 for the magnetic member 113 to extend into. In this embodiment, the magnetic member 113 is mounted on the patch 16 and extends into the opening 115. The fixation of the patch 16 ensures the stability of the magnetic member 113 on the mating surface of the second housing 12.
