Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of anti-tampering equipment technology, specifically to an anti-tampering structure for a concentrator. Background Technology

[0002] A concentrator is a central connection point device that connects terminals, computers, or communication equipment. It serves as the central point for cable convergence. In areas with a high density of terminals, to reduce communication lines, the terminals are typically connected to the concentrator first, and then the concentrator is connected to the computer's communication controller via a high-speed line. Therefore, the concentrator is also an effective device for sharing lines and improving line utilization. It functions as a statistical time-division multiplexer, smoothing the data flow from various terminals; it has buffering and intelligent capabilities, allowing for information buffering and queuing when the concentrator is overloaded; and it has communication control software that can perform data stream multiplexing and demultiplexing, as well as execute transmission control procedures, enhancing signal functionality.

[0003] Current concentrators are typically installed outdoors or in locations difficult to monitor, making them vulnerable to vandalism or theft. Tamper-proof designs can protect the equipment from damage and ensure continuous system operation. However, traditional tamper-proof structures only protect the internal core chip circuit board from data loss. This approach cannot prevent further damage and theft of the concentrator by the perpetrator during the time it takes for maintenance personnel to repair or replace the device after the casing has been damaged by external force. This can lead to unnecessary economic losses and create unnecessary trouble for maintenance personnel. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the present invention provides an anti-disassembly structure for a concentrator, which can effectively protect the housing of the concentrator and prevent theft, avoiding unnecessary economic losses caused by damage or violent disassembly of the concentrator by vandals, and greatly reducing the workload of maintenance personnel.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides an anti-tamper structure for a concentrator. The anti-tamper structure is set on the outside of the concentrator's housing and includes a protective frame on the outside of the concentrator's housing. The side wall of the protective frame is hollow, and a fixing frame is inserted into the hollow structure of the protective frame. Both the side wall of the protective frame and the side wall of the fixing frame have through holes. An anti-tamper plate is set on the upper part of the fixing frame. The anti-tamper structure also includes a locking assembly for locking the fixing frame inserted into the protective frame.

Detailed Implementation

[0021] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the following will be described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of this utility model. Figure 1-7 The technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model are clearly and completely described herein. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the described embodiments of this utility model are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0022] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown: This embodiment provides an anti-tamper structure for a concentrator. The anti-tamper structure is disposed on the outside of the concentrator's housing 100. The anti-tamper structure includes a protective frame 200 disposed on the outside of the concentrator's housing 100. The shape of the protective frame 200 is adapted to the shape of the concentrator's housing 100, such as... Figure 1 As shown, for example, the concentrator's outer shell is rectangular, and the corresponding protective frame 200 is also rectangular. The inner wall of the protective frame 200 is bonded to the outer wall of the shell 100 using a strong adhesive, such as Adhesive Gel. The side wall of the protective frame 200 is hollow, and a fixing frame 300 is inserted inside the hollow structure of the protective frame 200. The thickness of the side wall of the fixing frame 300 is the same as the width of the hollow structure of the protective frame 200. Figure 5 and Figure 6Both the sidewall of the protective frame 200 and the sidewall of the fixed frame 300 have through holes 201. The through holes 201 on the sidewall of the protective frame 200 penetrate the outer sidewall of the hollow structure of the protective frame 200. An anti-tamper plate 400 is provided on the upper part of the fixed frame 300 of the protective frame 200. The anti-tamper plate 400 is made of transparent tempered glass. Designing the anti-tamper plate 400 as transparent tempered glass not only facilitates the operator's real-time viewing of the data on the concentrator display panel, but also provides high strength to prevent damage from force, thus enhancing safety. It is fixedly installed on the outside of the fixed frame 300. The anti-tamper structure also includes a locking assembly 500 that locks the fixed frame 300 inserted into the protective frame 200. The inner wall of the protective frame 200 is provided with a slot 202 that is adapted to the locking assembly 500. The depth of the slot 202 is greater than half the thickness of the inner wall of the hollow structure of the protective frame 200. The slot 202 is used to lock the locking assembly 500 along the axial direction of the slot 202, so as to realize the locking structure to lock and fix the fixed frame 300 and the protective frame 200 after they are completed. This utility model can effectively protect the concentrator by locking the fixed frame 300 inserted into the protective frame 200 through the locking assembly 500. Moreover, the anti-disassembly plate 400 can effectively protect the control panel of the concentrator, which greatly increases the safety and stability of the concentrator.

[0023] According to one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, the locking assembly 500 includes a chuck 501 that passes through the through hole 201 and is inserted into the slot 202. A crescent-shaped baffle 505 is provided at the upper part of the slot 202. Figure 7As shown, there are two crescent-shaped baffles. The chuck 501 is equipped with a stop bar 506 that matches the gap between the two crescent-shaped baffles. After the stop bar 506 overlaps with the gap between the two crescent-shaped baffles, the chuck 501 is pressed into the through hole 201 by the pin 502, allowing it to be inserted into the slot 202, thus enabling the connection between the protective frame 200 and the fixed frame 300. The chuck 501 is equipped with a positioning block 507 on the outside of the pin 502, which is located on the same side as the stop bar 506. The pin 502 has an anti-disassembly groove 503, which is a dodecagonal structure. This design ensures that the pin 502 can only be disassembled using a special dodecagonal disassembly tool. The operator then uses a special disassembly tool to rotate the pin 502 inserted into the slot 202 to a suitable angle, thereby rotating the stop bar 506 to a position below the crescent-shaped baffle 505, thus achieving the locking function of the locking assembly 500. A sealing disc 504 is inserted into the anti-tamper groove 503. The sealing disc 504 should be made of non-slip and wear-resistant rubber material. This is to facilitate sealing of the anti-tamper groove 503 and prevent external dust from entering the anti-tamper groove 503, affecting its subsequent use. A gripping part 508 is provided on the outside of the sealing disc 504. The gripping part 508 is made of gourd-shaped protruding rubber material. This is to facilitate the operator to hold the gripping part 508 and lift or press the sealing cover into the anti-tamper groove 503.

[0024] According to another embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the thickness of the stop bar 506 is less than the distance between the crescent-shaped baffle and the bottom of the slot 202. This is to facilitate the stop bar 506 to smoothly enter the gap between the slot 202 and the crescent-shaped baffle, so as to lock the axial movement of the chuck 501.

[0025] How to use this utility model:

[0026] First, it needs to be clarified that the anti-tamper structure involved in this utility model is mainly used to protect the entire concentrator, preventing vandals from stealing or damaging the concentrator housing 100 or its internal electrical components. This utility model takes the installation of the anti-tamper structure after the concentrator is installed as an example to describe its usage method in detail. After the concentrator is installed and adjusted, the operator holds the fixing frame 300 and inserts it into the hollow structure of the protective frame 200. Then, the operator holds the positioning block 507 on the locking assembly 500, aligns it with the gap between the two crescent-shaped baffles, and presses the anti-tamper groove 503 inward to press the pin 502 into the through hole 201 until the stop strip 506 is inserted into the slot 202. Then, the operator takes a special tool that is compatible with the anti-tamper groove 503 and inserts it into the anti-tamper groove. Within 503, rotating 90 degrees counterclockwise or clockwise will rotate the stop bar 506 to a position below the crescent-shaped baffle 505, thereby achieving the locking function of the locking assembly 500. Then, the operator takes out a special tool, grasps the grip part, and inserts the sealing disc 504 into the anti-tamper groove 503, thus achieving the locking operation between the fixed frame 300 and the protective frame 200. The protective frame 200 and the anti-tamper plate 400 on the protective frame 200 can achieve the anti-tamper protection of the entire concentrator. This utility model can lock the fixed frame 300 inserted into the protective frame 200 through the locking assembly. The locking assembly can only be opened with the help of a special tool, which can effectively prevent the fixed frame 300 from being disassembled by a vandal, thereby providing security protection and anti-theft operation for the concentrator.
