Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electronic lead seal installation technology, specifically to a tamper-proof electronic lead seal that is easy to install. Background Technology

[0002] A lead seal is a locking device applied to specific equipment by specific personnel. Once properly locked, a lead seal cannot be opened unless forcibly broken. Lead seals can be classified as customs seals, commodity inspection seals, and commercial seals depending on the person applying them. Each lead seal has a unique identification number. As long as the equipment is intact, the equipment door is properly closed, and the lead seal is properly locked, it can be proven that the equipment has not been illegally opened without authorization.

[0003] In related technologies, during the use of fuel dispensers, to prevent illegal activities such as fuel theft and tax evasion, lead seals are used on key components involving metering and tax control to prevent tampering or damage. To monitor the status of these lead seals in real time, electronic lead seals have been introduced to the market. By installing a chip inside the lead seal, it is possible to remotely observe whether the seal is damaged. Their structure mostly consists of a lock body and a sealing wire made of metal or other materials. A chip component with a real-time monitoring and alarm device is installed on one side of the lock body. The lead seal is easily completed by inserting both ends of the sealing wire into the hole of the seal head and clamping the lock head with lead lock pliers. This makes the installation of electronic lead seals convenient. An alarm is triggered when the sealing wire is cut, thus achieving a proactive anti-tampering effect.

[0004] Electronic seals rely too heavily on the convenience of electronic products during use. However, some intermediaries can manually crack electronic seals through remote attacks, causing real-time alarm devices to fail. After cracking the electronic seal, they can replace it with a new one to forge a new seal, making it difficult for personnel to determine the validity of the seal during routine inspections. This results in weak anti-counterfeiting properties of the tamper-proof electronic seal. To solve the above problems, an easy-to-install tamper-proof electronic seal is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides an easy-to-install, tamper-proof electronic seal. The present invention judges whether the sealing line is normal by the integrity of the anti-counterfeiting stripe, which facilitates daily inspection. The anti-counterfeiting effect is reinforced by a color difference layer, making the sealing line of this electronic seal difficult to counterfeit, thus improving the anti-counterfeiting capability of the electronic seal. Furthermore, by inserting the tail of the sealing line into the protective component and sealing and fixing the tail of the sealing line with glue, the security of the sealing line is further improved.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides an easy-to-install tamper-proof electronic lead seal, including a sealing wire inserted into the lock body, a chip shell disposed on one side of the lock body, an electronic chip disposed inside the chip shell, the sealing wire including an innermost stranded core layer, a color difference layer disposed on the outer surface of the stranded core layer, an anti-counterfeiting layer disposed on the outer surface of the color difference layer, multiple winding posts disposed on the bottom of one side of the chip shell, and a protective component disposed on the bottom of the other side of the chip shell.

[0007] The winding post has a hexagonal body, and each winding post has an opening that runs through it along its axis. The size of the opening is the same as the size of the outer wall of the sealing wire.

[0008] The surface of the anti-counterfeiting layer is embedded with anti-counterfeiting stripes. These stripes are used to prevent counterfeiting of this type of seal and to prevent damage to the seal, thus improving the anti-counterfeiting performance of the tamper-proof electronic seal.

[0009] The protective component includes a sealing block fixed to the outer wall of the chip housing. The sealing block is used to fix the cavity containing adhesive onto the chip housing. The bottom of the sealing block is provided with a socket for inserting the tail end of the sealing wire into the cavity. The size of the socket is the same as the size of the outer wall of the sealing wire. A sealing aluminum foil is provided on the lower surface of the socket to seal the socket, thereby preventing adhesive leakage. The sealing aluminum foil also facilitates the insertion of the sealing wire into the cavity. The upper part of the socket is connected to a cavity for storing adhesive. The cavity is cylindrical and embedded in the sealing block. The cavity is filled with adhesive to solidify and cure the tail end of the sealing wire inserted into the cavity, preventing it from falling off.

[0010] A sealing ring is fixedly installed at the connection between the socket and the cavity to prevent glue from leaking to the outside of the socket.

[0011] A rotating base is provided on the other side of the lock body. The rotating base is used to connect and fix the rotating shaft to the lock body. The rotating shaft is rotatably installed inside the rotating base. The rotating shaft is used to connect the hanging ear to the rotating base. The rotating shaft is also used to drive the hanging ear to rotate on the rotating base. The hanging ear is fixedly installed on the side of the rotating shaft away from the lock body. The hanging ear can strengthen the lead seal marking to prevent its illegal replacement, and is also used to facilitate mounting inside the refueling machine's casing.

Detailed Implementation

[0022] 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 1-5 The technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model are clearly and completely described below. 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.

[0023] like Figure 1-5As shown: This embodiment provides an easy-to-install, tamper-proof electronic lead seal, including a sealing wire 101 inserted inside a lock body 100. The opening 301 of the lock body 100 through which the sealing wire 101 is inserted adopts a self-locking design. A chip shell 102 is provided on one side of the lock body 100, and an electronic chip 103 is provided inside the chip shell 102. The electronic chip 103 can monitor in real time whether the sealing wire 101 is broken. The sealing wire 101 includes an innermost stranded core layer 200, which is made of steel wire rope. A color difference layer 201 is provided on the outer surface of the stranded core layer 200, which can move with the steel wire rope. The steel wire rope is bent and fused to the color difference layer 201. The color difference layer 201 is made of a soft rubber layer material that is different in color from the steel wire rope. The color of the color difference layer 201 can be randomly designed or specially mixed for anti-counterfeiting. Thus, when the sealing line 101 is broken, it cannot be repaired or counterfeited. The color difference layer 201 is heat-fused to the anti-counterfeiting layer 202. The anti-counterfeiting layer 202 is set on the outer surface of the color difference layer 201. The anti-counterfeiting layer 202 is made of soft rubber material. Multiple winding posts 300 are set on the bottom of one side of the chip shell 102, and a protective component 400 is set on the bottom of the other side of the chip shell 102.

[0024] When in use, the integrity of the anti-counterfeiting stripe 203 is used to determine whether the sealing line 101 is normal, which facilitates daily inspection. The color difference layer 201 reinforces the anti-counterfeiting effect, making the sealing line 101 of this electronic seal difficult to counterfeit, thus improving the anti-counterfeiting capability of the electronic seal. Furthermore, by inserting the tail of the sealing line 101 into the protective component 400 and sealing and fixing the tail of the sealing line 101 with glue 405, the security of the sealing line 101 is further improved.

[0025] This embodiment provides an easy-to-install, tamper-proof electronic seal.

[0026] like Figure 1 , 5 As shown: The winding post 300 has a hexagonal main body and is made of plastic. The winding post 300 is heat-fused to the outer shell of the lock body 100. Each winding post 300 has an opening 301 through it along its axis. The size of the opening 301 is the same as the outer wall size of the sealing wire 101. The opening 301 facilitates the winding of the sealing wire 101, thereby shortening the length of the sealing wire 101.

[0027] Its effect is that the opening 301 facilitates the winding of the sealing line 101, thereby shortening its length according to different risk levels, and making it easier to store the sealing line 101.

[0028] like Figure 1As shown: Anti-counterfeiting stripes 203 are embedded in the surface of the anti-counterfeiting layer 202. The anti-counterfeiting stripes 203 are embedded in the surface of the anti-counterfeiting layer 202. The anti-counterfeiting stripes 203 can be a special logo or special stripes that are difficult to imitate. The anti-counterfeiting stripes 203 are used to prevent the counterfeiting of this sealing line 101, and are also used to prevent the sealing line 101 from being damaged and cannot be repaired, thereby improving the anti-counterfeiting performance of the anti-tamper electronic lead seal.

[0029] Its effect is as follows: the anti-counterfeiting stripe 203 is used to prevent the counterfeiting of this type of sealing line 101, and is also used to prevent the sealing line 101 from being damaged and cannot be repaired, thereby improving the anti-counterfeiting performance of the anti-tamper electronic seal.

[0030] like Figure 1 , 3 As shown in Figure 4, the protective component 400 includes a sealing block 401 fixed to the outer wall of the chip housing 102. The sealing block 401 is made of plastic and is heat-fused to the outer wall of the chip housing 102. The sealing block 401 is used to fix the cavity 404 containing adhesive 405 onto the chip housing 102. The bottom of the sealing block 401 is provided with an insertion port 402, the size of which is smaller than the bottom size of the cavity 404. The insertion port 402 is used to insert the tail end of the sealing line 101 into the cavity 404. The size of the insertion port 402 is the same as the outer wall size of the sealing line 101. A sealing aluminum foil 403 is provided on the lower surface of the insertion port 402. The sealing aluminum foil 403 can be embedded in the bottom of the sealing block 401 or fused to the bottom of the sealing block 401. The sealing aluminum foil 403 is used to seal the insertion port 402, thereby preventing the adhesive 405 from leaking out. The sealing aluminum foil 403 facilitates the insertion of the sealing line 101 into the cavity 404. The upper part of the socket 402 is connected to the cavity 404, which is used to store adhesive 405. The cavity 404 is cylindrical and embedded in the sealing block 401. The cavity 404 is filled with adhesive 405, which is made of cyanoacrylate, such as Loctite 401.
