DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0028] Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making any creative work shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0029] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 6A security protection lock assembly for a computer case includes: a table leg 1; a storage cabinet 2, which is arranged on the table leg 1; a movable door 4, which is movably arranged on the storage cabinet 2; an anti-pry device 13, which is arranged on the storage cabinet 2; a plurality of magnets 7, which are arranged on the movable door 4; a plurality of sensing ends 6, which are arranged on the storage cabinet 2; the magnets 7 corresponding to the sensing ends 6; the magnets 7, the sensing ends 6 and the anti-pry device 13 are electrically connected; the anti-pry device 13 is configured so that when the movable door 4 is closed, the magnets 7 and the sensing ends 6 are in normal contact, and the anti-pry device 13 does not alarm; the anti-pry device 13 is configured so that when the movable door 4 is closed, the magnets 7 and the sensing ends 6 are not in contact, and the anti-pry device 13 alarms.

[0030] A movable transparent panel is provided on the front side of the storage cabinet 2, through which the internal situation of the storage cabinet 2 can be observed. When in use, the transparent panel can be pulled downward to insert items into the chassis. A wire inlet is provided on the rear side of the storage cabinet 2 for passing the wiring harness connected to the chassis. By providing the magnet 7, the cooperative use of the sensing end 6 and the anti-pry device 13 can promptly alarm. Once someone attempts to pry the door or destroy the normal closing of the movable door 4 by other means, the alarm of the anti-pry device 13 will immediately attract the attention of the surrounding people and prevent the further development of illegal intrusion.

[0031] The lock 5 is mounted on the movable door 4 and includes a lock body 51. A latching slot 8 is mounted on the cabinet 2 and mates with the lock body 51. A pressure sensor 9 is located within the latching slot 8. The pressure sensor 9 allows for real-time monitoring of the lock's status. When the movable door 4 is properly closed and the lock body 51 is correctly inserted into the latching slot 8, the lock body 51 applies a certain amount of pressure to the pressure sensor 9, ensuring normal operation. However, if the lock body 51 is disturbed by external forces, such as a violent unlocking attempt, the pressure sensor 9 will immediately detect the abnormal pressure change, triggering an alarm.

[0032] The buffer pad 10 is disposed within the slot 8 and is located on one side of the lock body 51. The buffer pad 10 contacts the lock body 51. The anti-pry device 13 is electrically connected to the pressure sensor 9. The buffer pad 10 absorbs and disperses the impact force during the insertion of the lock body 51 into the slot 8. Each time the movable door 4 is closed and locked, the lock body 51 generates a certain amount of collision force with the slot 8. The buffer pad 10 effectively reduces wear and tear, extending the service life of the lock body 51 and the slot 8, ensuring that the lock maintains good performance. It also prevents the lock body 51 from causing instant damage to the pressure sensor 9 due to excessive impact force.

[0033] The anti-pry device 13 is configured so that when the movable door 4 is closed and the pressure sensor 9 is functioning normally, the anti-pry device 13 does not sound an alarm. When the movable door 4 is closed and the pressure sensor 9 is functioning normally, it indicates that the lock body 51 is properly inserted into the card slot 8 and the chassis is in a normally closed and locked state. At this time, the anti-pry device 13 does not sound an alarm, thus avoiding the occurrence of false alarms.

[0034] The anti-pry device 13 is configured to sound an alarm when the pressure sensor 9 is abnormal while the movable door 4 is closed. If the movable door 4 is closed but the pressure sensor 9 is abnormal, it indicates that someone is attempting to illegally open the storage cabinet 2, such as by picking the lock, damaging the lock body 51 or the card slot 8, etc. The anti-pry device 13 is designed to sound an alarm at this critical moment, alerting nearby personnel to the abnormal intrusion attempt. The above device can be powered by batteries or an external power supply.

[0035] Several protective sleeves 3 are set at the four corners of the storage cabinet 2. The protective sleeves 3 include an inner layer 32 and an outer layer 31. The number of protective sleeves 3 corresponds to the four corners of the storage cabinet 2. At the same time, a protective pad is set at the bottom of the storage cabinet 2 to achieve a shock absorption effect.

[0036] One side of the outer layer 31 is connected to the storage cabinet 2 and is made of a soft material; the inner layer 32 is made of metal. The soft outer layer 31 effectively cushions the storage cabinet 2 from minor impacts during daily use, such as with sponge or rubber pads. The metal inner layer 32 provides strong support and deformation resistance to handle larger external impacts, and can also be coated with a rust-proofing treatment.

[0037] Two chute grooves 11 are provided on parallel inner walls of the storage cabinet 2; two fixing components 12 are provided on parallel inner walls of the storage cabinet 2; the two chute grooves 11 correspond to the two fixing components 12. By providing the chute grooves 11 and matching the slider 121, a precise movement trajectory is provided for the slider 121, allowing the slider 121 to move strictly in a predetermined direction during movement. At the same time, the slider 121 can be removably installed in the chute grooves 11, facilitating subsequent installation or use.

[0038] The fixing assembly 12 includes a slider 121 that is slidably disposed within the chute 11 and a clamping plate 123 that is slidably disposed within the storage cabinet 2. The slider 121 is provided with a threaded rod that can be rotated to secure the slider 121 within the chute 11, thereby preventing the chassis from shifting or loosening after being secured, which could affect the chassis's securement.

[0039] The connecting member 122 has one end disposed on the slider 121 and the other end connected to the clamping plate 123. By providing the connecting member 122, when the slider 121 moves in the chute 11, the connecting member 122 is driven to move, thereby causing the clamping plate 123 to move synchronously, thereby achieving the fixing and loosening of the chassis.

[0040] During use, the movable door 4 is opened, the chassis is placed in the storage cabinet 2, and the slider 121 is placed in the slide groove 11, so that the slider 121 slides, driving the clamping plate 123 to move until the clamping plate 123 contacts the chassis, and the threaded rod is rotated to fix the slider 121, and the movable door 4 is closed, so that the magnet 7 and the sensing end 6 are normally in contact, and then the lock body 51 is extended into the card slot 8 and contacts the buffer pad 10; when the movable door 4 is closed, the magnet 7 and the sensing end 6 are not in contact, and the anti-theft device 13 generates a sound or light to alarm; when the movable door 4 is closed, the pressure sensor 9 detects abnormal pressure changes, and the anti-theft device 13 generates a sound or light to alarm.

[0041] In summary, compared with the existing technology, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: through the cooperation of the magnet 7, the sensing end 6 and the pressure sensor 9, when the movable door 4 is abnormally opened or the lock body 51 is abnormal when the movable door is closed, the anti-theft device 13 can alarm in time, effectively preventing the chassis from being stolen and improving the security of the chassis.
