Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to anti-theft devices for goods, and more particularly to anti-theft devices for displayed goods. Background Technology

[0002] The demonstration and sale of electronic products has become a very common practice, allowing consumers to better experience the functions of these products. However, since the exhibits themselves have essentially the same value as the actual products, it is necessary not only to power the electronic exhibits but also to implement appropriate anti-theft measures.

[0003] Current anti-theft technologies for electronic exhibits such as mobile phones typically use clamps for securing them, and also connect sensor wires or power cables. Since electronic products themselves have a certain weight, attaching anti-theft structures inevitably increases the weight and causes discomfort in handling. With the pursuit of ultra-thin structures for mobile phones, electronic product manufacturers usually also hope that the anti-theft devices they equip can have a lighter and thinner structure.

[0004] Although there are some lightweight anti-theft devices or similar structures on the market, generally speaking, smaller anti-theft devices have poor anti-theft performance, while structures with good anti-theft performance are often relatively large.

[0005] Therefore, there is a need for a product anti-theft device that is smaller, thinner, and has a more rational spatial layout. Utility Model Content

[0006] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide an anti-theft device for the security of merchandise display, addressing the problems existing in the background art.

[0007] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is:

[0011] The support bracket is configured to contact at least one surface of the product to support the product, and the clamping assembly is configured to clamp the product in a constrained position formed by the mounting base.

[0012] The support holder is configured to accommodate at least a portion of the clamping assembly and to secure the clamping assembly, thereby clamping the product.

[0013] The support bracket includes an upper cover and a lower cover, and the anti-theft sensing component includes a cable; one end of the cable is provided with a first fastening structure, and the upper cover is provided with a second fastening structure, the first fastening structure and the second fastening structure are configured to be detachably combined; when the two are combined, the upper cover, the lower cover and the cable of the support bracket can be relatively fixed.

[0014] The anti-theft sensor component is configured to emit a security signal when the product is removed from the mounting base.

[0015] In this invention, the anti-theft device can supply power to the product, or it can charge the product separately through other charging cables. After the product is fixed in the anti-theft device, it cannot be opened without authorization. Otherwise, the anti-theft device can issue an alarm or send a security signal (i.e., an alarm signal) to the alarm device to trigger an alarm.

[0016] Furthermore, the anti-theft sensing component is configured to transmit anti-theft alarm signals. In some embodiments, the anti-theft sensing component mainly includes a cable, through which the anti-theft alarm signal is transmitted to the anti-theft alarm host (alarm).

In some embodiments, the first fastener may be a unidirectional tightening bolt / screw, and the upper and lower covers can be joined by the first fastener. However, the first fastener does not necessarily have to be located on the upper and / or lower covers; it can also cooperate with other structures. When the upper and lower covers are fixed, cables, support brackets, merchandise, and grippers can all be fixed together, forming an overall anti-theft structure for the merchandise.

[0019] Furthermore, the support bracket has a space capable of partially accommodating the clamping assembly. In some embodiments, a portion of the clamping assembly can be accommodated within the space between the upper and lower covers, thus eliminating the need for additional space and making the anti-theft device as thin as possible.

[0020] Furthermore, the clamping assembly includes at least one set of grippers capable of defining the lateral and / or longitudinal position of the item.

[0021] Furthermore, the portion of the gripper that extends into the support bracket can be secured by a second fastener.

[0022] Furthermore, the cable includes an anti-theft cable and / or a charging cable.

[0023] Furthermore, one end of the cable is connected to the support bracket, and the other end is connected to the burglar alarm host or power supply.

Detailed Implementation

[0040] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand and implement the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be described in detail, clearly, and completely below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Furthermore, based on the embodiments of this utility model, any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made by those skilled in the art to all other embodiments obtained without creative effort should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0041] Since this utility model belongs to a relatively specific technical field, some technical terms specific to this field will be mentioned. In order to further facilitate the understanding of those skilled in the art, some technical terms of this utility model will be explained before the embodiments.

[0042] Safety signal

[0043] Security signals are a well-known concept in the field of product anti-theft. When a product is in an insecure state, certain components in the product anti-theft system will emit a security signal. The security signal can be an inductive signal, an electrical signal, or a digital signal. This signal can be triggered by many methods / events in existing technology. For example, the event may be a physical connection break or a circuit break. The triggering method may be that the sensing component detects the signal and transmits it to the corresponding device. After receiving the signal, the corresponding device can issue a security signal based on the most basic logic judgment (yes / no). In the field of product anti-theft, the common triggering methods may be disconnection, disconnection of the charging connection, removal from an installed component, or destruction of a certain set method. All of these can trigger the generation of a security signal. The generation of security signals is a conventional technology in this field.

[0044] Cable

[0045] A cable is a concept related to connection and / or transmission. In some cases, a cable can be a purely mechanical connection, linking two items together. In others, a cable can provide electrical transmission (high voltage), establishing an electrical connection between the two parties, allowing one party to supply power to the other, or enabling power exchange between them. In still others, a cable can provide data transmission (including low voltage), simultaneously providing power and data connections between the two parties, allowing one party to supply power to the other or transmit data signals, or enabling the exchange of both power and data signals. In some cases, the electrical transmission line in a cable can be used as an induction loop, serving as a factor in detecting whether the cable is open or closed. For example, when there is electrical transmission in the cable, the induction loop is considered open, and the cable is in a normal connection state. If the cable connects a product and an anti-theft system, the product is considered secure. Similarly, when there is signal transmission in the cable, the induction loop is also considered open, and the cable is in a normal connection state. If the cable connects a product and an anti-theft system, the product is considered secure. In these cases, the cable can act as an induction device, essentially functioning as part of a sensor. In fact, the role of conductive cables that have signal functions through conductive circuits in the field of anti-theft is also a common technical means in this field. This utility model does not involve the improvement of the structure and function of the cable itself. This utility model only provides some application scenarios for cables used for anti-theft of goods.

[0046] In existing anti-theft technologies, some cables specifically designed for anti-theft, that is, cables that can transmit anti-theft or security signals, typically have a dedicated data line for transmitting signals in addition to two conductors forming a conductive loop. This data line is usually a low-voltage conductor used only for data transmission, and the signal and conductive loop can be independent. In this invention, a conductive cable with power supply function can be directly used as the signal line. The alarm loop detects the current or voltage on the conductor to detect whether the product is in a safe state, thus achieving integrated charging and anti-theft.

[0047] Alarm device / alarm / alarm signal

[0048] In the field of merchandise theft prevention, alarm devices are also a common type of anti-theft equipment. They are mainly used to trigger an alarm based on security signals emitted by sensors / cables, i.e., to issue an alarm signal. A typical example of an alarm device is an alarm siren, used to emit an alarm sound to alert staff in the sales area that merchandise may be in a secure or insecure state. Generally, this alarm function of an alarm device can be referred to as issuing an alarm signal. Alarm signals include, for example, an alarm sound, and sometimes also include a light signal, hence the term "audio-visual alarm." This invention does not modify the alarm siren itself; any device capable of emitting an alarm signal, or capable of triggering an alarm, can be considered the alarm siren of this invention.

[0049] Example 1, refer to Appendix Figure 1-7 .

[0050] This embodiment provides an anti-theft device for the security of merchandise displays, such as... Figure 1-2 As shown, a base 1 can be mounted and fixed on a support surface 200. The base 1 is configured to support a mounting base 2 and is configured to accommodate an anti-theft sensor assembly. Figure 5-6 As shown, in this embodiment, the anti-theft sensing component is a sensing wire 3. The sensing wire 3 is housed in the base 1 through a pull-out box 4 and can extend or retract on the pull-out box 4 as the goods are picked up or put down. The upper end of the base 1 has a first opening 9, through which one end of the sensing wire 3 passes and connects to the mounting base 2. The lower end of the base 1 has a second opening, through which the other end of the sensing wire 3 passes and connects to the power supply via a power connector 8.

[0051] The mounting base 2 is configured to support the displayed product 100, which is generally an electronic product whose functions require power to be experienced, such as... Figure 7 As shown, examples include smartphones and tablets. When product 100 is displayed, it generally will not detach from the mounting base 2 without authorization; otherwise, the anti-theft mechanism will be triggered.

[0052] In some preferred embodiments, the support fixing bracket 21 includes an upper cover 211 and a lower cover 212. The lower cover 212 has a hollow portion 213. The upper end of the sensing line 3 has a first fastening structure 214 that can pass through the hollow portion 213. In some preferred embodiments, the first fastening structure 214 includes three connecting posts arranged in an isosceles triangle. The connecting posts have internal threads. The upper cover 211 has a second fastening structure 215 corresponding to the three connecting posts. The second fastening structure 215 includes connecting holes. In some preferred embodiments, it also includes fastening bolts disposed in the connecting holes. The first fastening structure 214 can pass through the three connecting holes respectively, and then be fixedly installed from top to bottom by the fastening bolts.

[0053] like Figure 3-4 As shown, the mounting base 2 includes a support bracket 21 and a clamping assembly 22. The support bracket 21 can contact at least one surface of the product 100 to support the product 100. For example, in this embodiment, the back of the product 100 is pressed against the support bracket 21. The clamping assembly 22 is configured to clamp the product 100 to a constrained position formed by the clamping assembly 22 and the support bracket 21. The constrained position here refers to the position of the product relative to the clamping assembly 22 and the support bracket 21, not the product's position. As long as the product remains within the space defined by the clamping component 22 and the support bracket 21, the product is considered safe. For example, for products of the same size, once the clamping component 22 is adjusted to a suitable clamping position, the positions of the product, the clamping component, and the mounting base are fixed. The product will be picked up or put down together with the clamping component 22 and the support bracket 21. If any of the three becomes loose, or if the product has a certain gap with the support bracket 21 due to the loosening of the clamping component, an alarm mechanism may be triggered.

[0054] In some embodiments of this example, the anti-theft mechanism of the anti-theft device is to emit a security signal when the product is detached from the mounting base. In some embodiments, a sensor head 6 can be installed inside the support bracket 21. The sensor head 6 can be connected to the product's charging port. When the sensor head 6 is detached, a security signal is sent to the built-in alarm via the sensor wire 3. In some embodiments, the sensor head 6 can also be a charging head. In other embodiments, a contact switch can be installed on the surface where the support bracket 21 and the product contact. When the product and the support bracket 21 are in close contact, the contact switch is pressed, indicating that the product is in a safe state. When the product is unauthorizedly separated from the support bracket 21, the contact switch pops up, sending a security signal to the built-in alarm via the sensor wire 3.

[0055] In some embodiments of this example, the anti-theft mechanism of the anti-theft device is as follows: a contact switch may also be provided at the bottom of the base 1, and the contact switch is also connected to the sensor line 3. When the base 1 is installed on the support surface, the contact switch is pressed down, which is considered a safe state. If the base 1 is unauthorizedly removed from the support surface, the contact switch pops open, and a safety signal is sent to the alarm host through the sensor line 3. In some embodiments, a safety signal is also sent to the alarm host when the sensor line 3 is unauthorizedly cut or damaged.

[0056] The lower cover 212 houses a circuit board 7. In this embodiment, the sensing line 3 includes a signal line and a power supply line. The alarm host is an alarm device installed in the base 1, which is electrically connected to the circuit board 7. The signal line in the sensing line 3 can be connected to the circuit board 7. The sensing circuit on the circuit board 7 can be connected to the sensing head 6 via the sensing line and combined with the product's charging interface to form a sensing loop. A safety signal is generated when the sensing loop is broken. The power supply line in the sensing line 3 can be connected to an external power source via a power connector 8.

[0057] In this embodiment, the clamping assembly includes two pairs of grippers, which can be combined to clamp and fix the product in both longitudinal and transverse directions. Figure 6 and 7 The images show the locked and unlocked states of the clamping assembly. The length of the extended jaws can be adjusted according to the size of the product to meet the needs of products of different sizes.

[0058] In some preferred embodiments, the support bracket 21 also has a space for accommodating the clamping components. Generally, this space is located on the lower cover 212, and the upper cover 211 partially closes this space.

[0059] like Figure 3-5 As shown in this embodiment, a first active space 216 and a second active space 217 are respectively provided for the two pairs of grippers.

[0060] Within the first movable space 216, the inner ends of the first clamping arm 221 and the second clamping arm 222 in the upper set of grippers can move back and forth within the first movable space 216. Furthermore, the inner ends of the first clamping arm 221 and the second clamping arm 222 are provided with matching first serrations 224. The support fixing bracket 21 is also provided with a first adjusting screw 223 perpendicular to the direction of movement of the first clamping arm 221 and the second clamping arm 222 within the first movable space 216. When the first adjusting screw 223 is loosened... When the first clamping arm 221 and the second clamping arm 222 can disengage from each other, the first serrations 224 on them will not interfere with each other, the first clamping arm 221 and the second clamping arm 222 can move within the first movable space 216 to adjust the lateral distance. After adjustment, tighten the first adjusting screw 223 to press the first clamping arm 221 and the second clamping arm 222 together, and the first serrations 224 will also be tightly fitted. At this time, the first clamping arm 221 and the second clamping arm 222 can clamp the product in one direction.

[0061] The second movable space 217 includes two movable slots corresponding to the third clamping arm 225 and the fourth clamping arm 226, respectively. Two adjusting members 227 are provided on one side of each of the two movable slots. The two adjusting members are provided with second serrations 228 that match the third clamping arm 225 and the fourth clamping arm 226, respectively. On the outer side of the two adjusting members 227, there are second adjusting screws 229 that are perpendicular to the direction of movement of the third clamping arm 225 and the fourth clamping arm 226. The third clamping arm 225 and the fourth clamping arm 226 can be fixed or adjusted in position by tightening and loosening the second adjusting screws 229.

[0062] When the upper cover 211 and the lower cover 212 are fixed, the cable, the upper cover, and the lower cover can all be secured together. The product is secured by adjusting the grippers, thus forming an overall anti-theft structure. The adjustment of the grippers does not affect the spatial layout within the support and fixing tray. Through this structural design, parts of the sensor wire and clamping components can be accommodated in the space between the upper and lower covers, effectively utilizing the structural space misalignment to make the anti-theft device as thin as possible.

[0063] Example 2, refer to Appendix Figure 8-9 .

[0064] In this embodiment, the anti-theft host 5 is external. The lower end of the sensor line 3 extends from the base 1 and can be connected to the anti-theft host 5 via a data interface. When the anti-theft mechanism is triggered, the sensor line 3 transmits a security signal to the anti-theft host 5, which then triggers an alarm. Using an external anti-theft host allows multiple anti-theft devices to share a single host 5. Correspondingly, the sensor line 3 may only contain a signal line; power to the product can be supplied via a separate cable or wireless power. Of course, this embodiment does not exclude the possibility of the sensor line 3 also being able to supply power. Different sensor lines 3 can be selected according to actual needs in different application scenarios.

[0065] The other implementation methods in this embodiment are the same as those in Embodiment 1.

[0066] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
