A protective electromagnet is installed at the end of the protective groove near the bolt head hole. A protective block is slidably installed inside the protective groove. The protective block and the end of the protective groove away from the protective electromagnet are connected by a protective spring. An anti-theft component is provided on the lower fixing block. When disassembly is required, the protective electromagnet is turned off. After losing its magnetic force, the protective block is reset by the restoring force of the protective spring, opening the bolt head hole and exposing the bottom of the hexagonal bolt for easy unscrewing by the operator.

[0009] Preferably, the anti-theft component includes two insert blocks, which are respectively installed at the middle of the two sides of the upper fixing block. Each insert block has an insertion hole, and the top of the lower fixing block has a slot for insertion into the insert block. Both ends of the slot have connection holes. An anti-theft pin is slidably installed in one of the connection holes. The anti-theft pin is connected to the upper fixing block by an anti-theft spring. An anti-theft electromagnet is installed in the other connection hole. When the anti-theft electromagnet is activated, the anti-theft pin moves toward the anti-theft electromagnet. After the anti-theft pin passes through the insertion hole, it contacts the anti-theft electromagnet and stretches the anti-theft spring, thereby fixing the insert block and the slot, further limiting the upper and lower fixing blocks, and playing an anti-theft role for the locator body.

[0010] Preferably, the lower fixing block contains a Bluetooth module and a battery, and one end of the lower fixing block has a charging interface for charging the battery.

The battery powers the electromagnet, and the charging connector facilitates battery charging.

[0011] Preferably, the bottom center of the upper fixing block and the top center of the lower fixing block are both provided with grooves, and rubber anti-slip pads are provided in the grooves. The two grooves cooperate to facilitate clamping on the pipe, and the rubber anti-slip pads can improve the friction.

[0012] Preferably, sealing strips are provided on both sides of the bottom of the upper fixing block and both sides of the top of the lower fixing block. The sealing strips can improve the sealing at the joint where the upper and lower fixing blocks are installed together, and reduce dust ingress.

[0013] Insert into the slot.

[0014] Preferably, the bottom of the protective block is provided with an anti-rust coating, which is an anti-rust paint, and can improve the anti-rust ability of the bottom of the protective block.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0016] 1. When the hexagonal bolt is screwed into the threaded hole, the hexagonal head of the hexagonal bolt is located above the bolt head hole. Then, the switch of the protective electromagnet is turned on, and the protective block can be moved by magnetic force, which stretches the protective spring. When the protective block moves to contact the protective electromagnet, the protective block blocks the bottom of the bolt head hole and the bottom of the hexagonal bolt, thus protecting the hexagonal bolt. This prevents thieves from seeing the bolt and turning it, thus avoiding damage to the bolt. It also reduces the adhesion of dust and impurities to the bolt. Attached Figure Description
