Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of waterproof structures for GPS locators, and particularly to waterproof structures for GPS locators. Background Technology

[0002] A GPS locator is a device that determines its location by receiving signals from the Global Positioning System. It typically uses a miniature electronic chip and antenna to receive and process satellite signals. By calculating the time difference between the satellite signal and the device, as well as the time information transmitted by each satellite, it then sends this information to a mobile device or computer that collects and interprets the data, thereby determining its precise location.

[0003] Existing GPS trackers for vehicles generally have poor waterproofing. As a result, current GPS trackers not only have a limited lifespan, but are also prone to water ingress because they are completely exposed to the roof of the vehicle. A waterproof structure for vehicle GPS trackers is needed to solve this problem.

[0004] Existing patent (publication number: CN219245770U) discloses a waterproof structure for a vehicle GPS locator, including a lower end. The upper end of the lower end has a first groove, and absorbent cotton is installed on the lower end. One end of the absorbent cotton has a groove, and the GPS locator is installed in the groove. An upper end is installed on the upper end of the lower end, and a positioning component and a limiting component are fixedly installed at the bottom of the upper end. This device seals the upper and lower ends with a sealing ring, and the absorbent cotton absorbs incoming water, preventing rainwater from entering the groove and damaging the GPS locator. The waterproof structure can be locked between the upper and lower ends by a limiting mechanism. The position of the buckle can be adjusted by pulling an adjusting rod, allowing for locking and unlocking of the upper and lower ends, facilitating timely internal cleaning and ensuring the overall practicality of the device.

[0005] To address the above issues, existing patents offer solutions. Most GPS locators have a sealed waterproof structure, which affects heat dissipation and reduces the lifespan of the GPS locator. Furthermore, during the positioning process, the presence of a small cavity inside the placement chamber can cause the GPS locator to tilt, resulting in poor positioning performance.

[0006] Therefore, a waterproof structure for GPS locators is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0007] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a waterproof structure for GPS locators, which can solve the problems that most existing GPS locator waterproof structures are sealed structures, which affect the heat dissipation of the GPS locator and reduce the service life of the GPS locator. In addition, during the process of limiting the GPS locator, the presence of a small cavity inside the placement chamber can cause the GPS locator to tilt, resulting in poor positioning effect.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a waterproof structure for a GPS locator, including a protective pad, a clamping component fixedly connected to the top of the protective pad, and a protective component snapped onto the top of the clamping component;

[0009] The protective assembly includes a top cover, a frame fixedly connected inside the top cover, a filter fixedly connected inside the frame, a baffle fixedly connected inside the frame, a hole opened on the front side of the baffle, a sealing block fixedly connected to the surface of the frame, and a snap-fit ​​block fixedly connected to the bottom of the top cover.

[0010] Preferably, the top of the protective pad is fixedly connected to a base plate, the top of the base plate has a groove for cooperating with the frame, the inner wall of the groove has a sealing groove for cooperating with the sealing block, and the top of the base plate has a snap-fit ​​groove for cooperating with the snap-fit ​​block.

[0011] Preferably, a first spring rod is fixedly connected to both the left and right sides of the inner wall of the base plate, and a clamping plate is fixedly connected to the opposite side of the two first spring rods.

[0012] Preferably, the bottom of each of the two clamping plates is fixedly connected to a sliding block, and the bottom of the inner wall of the base plate is provided with a sliding groove that cooperates with the two sliding blocks.

[0013] Preferably, a second spring rod is fixedly connected to the top of the inner wall of the top cover, and a limit plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the second spring rod.

[0014] Preferably, a soft pad is fixedly connected to the bottom of the limiting plate, and the protective pad is made of rubber.

[0015] Preferably, a protective cover is fixedly connected to the front side of the top cover, and an intercepting mesh frame is provided inside the protective cover.

[0016] Preferably, the bottom of the protective cover is provided with a slot, and the left and right sides of the interception net frame are fixedly connected with a card block that cooperates with the slot.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0018] 1. In this application, the top cover supports the frame, and then the filter screen, baffle plate and holes are fixedly connected inside the frame. The baffle plate and holes first protect against larger dust particles, and then the filter screen intercepts fine particles. The effect of shielding the inside of the top cover is achieved by sealing blocks and snap-fit ​​blocks, which can make the sealing blocks contact the inner wall of the sealing groove to achieve the effect of sealing the connection between the top cover and the bottom plate. The snap-fit ​​blocks can be used in conjunction with the snap-fit ​​groove inside the clamping assembly to achieve the effect of splicing the top cover and the bottom plate.

[0019] 2. In this application, the GPS locator is placed using a base plate. Then, two first spring rods and two clamping plates work together to adjust the position of the two clamping plates during the placement of the GPS locator. During this adjustment, two sliding blocks move along the inner wall of the sliding groove, assisting in the adjustment of the clamping plates' position. The two clamping plates then limit the GPS locator's position. A sealing groove allows for engagement with the sealing groove at the bottom of the base plate. A snap-fit ​​groove allows for engagement with the snap-fit ​​block, enabling the top cover to be joined to the base plate. Finally, a groove allows for the disassembly of the frame.

[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0027] Please see Figure 1-5 The present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0028] The GPS locator waterproof structure includes a protective pad 1, a clamping component 2 fixedly connected to the top of the protective pad 1, and a protective component 3 snapped onto the top of the clamping component 2.

[0029] The protective component 3 includes a top cover 301, a frame 302 fixedly connected inside the top cover 301, a filter screen 303 fixedly connected inside the frame 302, a baffle 304 fixedly connected inside the frame 302, a hole 305 opened on the front side of the baffle 304, a sealing block 306 fixedly connected to the surface of the frame 302, and a snap-fit ​​block 307 fixedly connected to the bottom of the top cover 301.

[0030] In this embodiment: by setting the protective pad 1, the clamping component 2 can be easily installed; by setting the clamping component 2, the GPS locator can be installed; by setting the protective component 3, it can be used in conjunction with the clamping component 2 to shield the GPS locator; by setting the top cover 301, frame 302, filter screen 303, shielding plate 304, hole 305, sealing block 306, and snap-fit ​​block 307, the top cover 301 can support the frame 302, and then the filter screen 303 is fixedly connected inside the frame 302. 3. The baffle plate 304 and the hole 305 first protect against larger dust particles, and then the filter screen 303 intercepts fine particles, thus providing a shielding effect on the inside of the top cover 301. The sealing block 306 and the snap-fit ​​block 307 can respectively make the sealing block 306 contact the inner wall of the sealing groove 203, so as to achieve a sealing effect at the connection between the top cover 301 and the bottom plate 201. The snap-fit ​​block 307 can cooperate with the snap-fit ​​groove 204 inside the clamping assembly 2 to splice the top cover 301 and the bottom plate 201.

[0031] Specifically, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3As shown, a base plate 201 is fixedly connected to the top of the protective pad 1. The top of the base plate 201 has a groove 202 that cooperates with the frame 302. The inner wall of the groove 202 has a sealing groove 203 that cooperates with the sealing block 306. The top of the base plate 201 has a snap-fit ​​groove 204 that cooperates with the snap-fit ​​block 307.

[0032] Specifically, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 As shown, first spring rods 205 are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the inner wall of the base plate 201, and clamping plates 206 are fixedly connected to the opposite sides of the two first spring rods 205.

[0033] Specifically, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 As shown, the bottom of each of the two clamping plates 206 is fixedly connected with a sliding block 207, and the bottom of the inner wall of the base plate 201 is provided with a sliding groove 208 that cooperates with the two sliding blocks 207.

[0034] In this embodiment: by setting a base plate 201, a groove 202, a sealing groove 203, a snap-fit ​​groove 204, two first spring rods 205, two clamping plates 206, a sliding block 207, and a sliding groove 208, the GPS locator can be placed on the base plate 201. Then, by using the two first spring rods 205 and the two clamping plates 206 in conjunction, the positions of the two clamping plates 206 are adjusted during the placement of the GPS locator. During the process, the two sliding blocks 207 move on the inner wall of the sliding groove 208 respectively, which helps to adjust the position of the two clamping plates 206. Then, the two clamping plates 206 limit the GPS locator. Then, through the sealing groove 203, it can be used in conjunction with the sealing groove 203 at the bottom of the base plate 201. Through the snap-fit ​​groove 204, it can be used in conjunction with the snap-fit ​​block 307 to splice the top cover 301 with the base plate 201. Through the groove 202, the frame 302 can be disassembled.

[0035] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, a second spring rod 4 is fixedly connected to the top of the inner wall of the top cover 301, and a limit plate 5 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the second spring rod 4.

[0036] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, a soft pad 6 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the limiting plate 5, and the protective pad 1 is made of rubber.

[0037] In this embodiment, the second spring rod 4, the limiting plate 5, and the soft pad 6 are provided so that the soft pad 6 first contacts the top of the GPS locator, and then the second spring rod 4 and the limiting plate 5 work together to perform GPS positioning.

[0038] Specifically, such as Figure 1 , Figure 5 As shown, a protective cover 7 is fixedly connected to the front side of the top cover 301, and an intercepting net frame 8 is provided inside the protective cover 7.

[0039] Specifically, such as Figure 1 , Figure 5 As shown, the bottom of the protective cover 7 is provided with a slot 9, and the left and right sides of the interception net frame 8 are fixedly connected with a card block 10 that works with the slot 9.

[0040] In this embodiment: by setting up a protective cover 7, an intercepting net frame 8, a locking block 10, and a locking slot 9, the front of the top cover 301 and the bottom plate 201 can be blocked by the protective cover 7, the bottom of the protective cover 7 can be blocked by the intercepting net frame 8, and the intercepting net frame 8 can be easily disassembled inside the protective cover 7 by the locking block 10 and the locking slot 9.

[0041] Working principle: During the installation of the GPS locator, the base plate 201 positions the GPS locator. Then, two first spring rods 205 and two clamping plates 206 work together to adjust the position of the clamping plates 206 during placement. As the clamping plates 206 move, two sliding blocks 207 move along the inner wall of the sliding groove 208, assisting in the adjustment of the clamping plates 206. Finally, the clamping plates 206 limit the position of the GPS locator. The user then manually adjusts the top cover 301. The mechanism operates by bringing the frame 302 into contact with the inner wall of the groove 202, then bringing the sealing block 306 into contact with the inner wall of the sealing groove 203, and then bringing the snap-fit ​​block 307 into contact with the inner wall of the snap-fit ​​groove 204, thus splicing the top cover 301 and the bottom plate 201 together. In daily use, the protective cover 7 and the intercepting mesh frame 8 first intercept and filter impurities in the air, then the holes 305 on the surface of the baffle plate 304 intercept impurities, and finally the filter screen 303 absorbs moisture during the process of intercepting impurities, reducing the effect of water entering the top cover 301 and the bottom plate 201, which would affect the performance of the GPS locator.

[0042] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
