Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0023] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installed," "equipped with," and "connected," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, "connected" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can be a connection within two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0024] Please see Figure 1-6 This utility model provides one embodiment: an encrypted item box, including a box body 1, an outer cover 2 on the front of the box body 1, and the outer cover 2 being rotatably connected to the bottom of the box body 1 via a pivot. See the attached instruction manual for details. Figure 3 As shown, two limiting rods 11 are fixedly installed inside the top of the box 1, and corresponding limiting grooves 12 are provided on the outer wall of the limiting rods 11.

[0025] A locking box 4 is fixedly installed inside the outer cover 2. The top two sides of the locking box 4 are provided with slots 5 that are adapted to the limiting plug. A motor 6 is fixedly installed inside the locking box 4. A stud 7 is fixedly installed on the output shaft of the motor 6. A threaded block 8 is sleeved on the outside of the stud 7. The threaded block 8 is threadedly connected to the stud 7. Thus, the motor 6 can drive the stud 7 to rotate through its output shaft. Since the threaded block 8 is sleeved on the outside of the stud 7, when the stud 7 rotates clockwise, the threaded block 8 on it can move linearly from bottom to top along the stud 7, that is, the threaded block 8 moves upward.

[0026] When the stud 7 rotates counterclockwise under the action of the motor 6, the threaded block 8 on it can move from top to bottom, that is, the threaded block 8 will move downward.

[0027] A top post 18 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the back side of the threaded block 8. Two limiting arc blocks 10 are provided on both sides of the top of the top post 18, and a spring 9 is fixedly connected between the two limiting arc blocks 10.

[0028] Among them, the outer wall of the limiting arc block 10 is designed with an arc structure, and the arc edge of the limiting arc block 10 and the limiting groove 12 are designed to fit each other.

[0029] Based on the above structure, when the outer cover 2 of the encryption box of this utility model is closed, during the closing process, the limiting rod 11 can be inserted into the slot 5 of the locking box. During the insertion of the limiting rod 11, it will push against the limiting arc block 10 on both sides, thereby compressing the spring 9 between the two limiting arc blocks 10.

[0030] After the outer cover 2 and the housing 1 are completely closed, the limiting rod 11 is fully inserted into the slot 5. After the limiting rod 11 is fully inserted, the limiting groove 12 of the limiting rod 11 can be horizontally aligned with the limiting arc block 10. The springs 9 compressed by the two limiting arc blocks 10 can be reset simultaneously. After being reset, the springs 9 push against the limiting arc blocks 10 on both sides, so that the limiting arc blocks 10 are placed in the limiting groove 12 of the limiting rod 11. The specific state is as shown in the attached instruction manual. Figure 6 As shown, the initial connection between the limit rod 11 and the locking box 4 can be completed at this point;

[0031] When it is necessary to lock the locking box 4, the motor 6 can drive the stud 7 to rotate clockwise through its output shaft. When the stud 7 rotates clockwise, the threaded block 8 on it can move linearly from bottom to top along the stud 7, that is, the threaded block 8 moves upward. The upward movement of the threaded block 8 can drive the top post 18 on its back to move upward. At this time, the top post 18 is placed between the two limiting arc blocks 10 to retract and block the limiting arc blocks 10.

[0032] If the outer cover 2 is pulled open at this time, the limiting rod 11 cannot push against the limiting arc block 10 on both sides due to the limiting block 18. Therefore, the limiting rod 11 cannot be dislodged from the slot 5, and the outer cover 2 cannot be rotated open. At this time, the encryption box is in the encryption lock state.

[0033] When the combination lock needs to be opened, the motor 6 rotates counterclockwise. When the motor 6 rotates counterclockwise, the threaded block 8 on the stud 7 can move from top to bottom, that is, the threaded block 8 will move down. At this time, the top post 18 will descend synchronously with the threaded block 8, and the two limiting arc blocks 10 will no longer be blocked by the structure of the top post 18. Then the outer cover 2 can be pulled. When the outer cover 2 is pulled, the limiting rod 11 can abut against the limiting arc blocks 10 on both sides, so that the limiting rod 11 can be dislodged from the slot 5. At this time, the outer cover 2 rotates along the bottom pivot to open, so that the items inside the combination lock can be taken out.

[0034] In this embodiment, in order to enable the encryption box to open with a password, several password buttons 3 are fixedly installed on the outer surface of the outer cover 2. The password buttons 3 are physical buttons. When in use, the password buttons are connected to the main control circuit board of the encryption box, and the main control circuit board is connected to the motor 6, thereby controlling the motor 6 to operate.

[0035] In this embodiment, in order to provide power to the electrical structure of the encryption box, a battery 17 is provided inside the outer cover 2 and below the locking box 4. The battery 17 is electrically connected to the motor 6.

[0036] In this embodiment, to ensure diverse wall-mounted usage effects, please refer to the appendix of the instruction manual for details. Figure 4 As shown, two symmetrically arranged snap-fit ​​springs 13 are provided at the top of the inside of the housing 1, and a snap-fit ​​plate 14 is fixedly installed between the tops of the two snap-fit ​​springs 13.

[0037] A U-shaped beam 15 is provided on the top of the box body 1. The bottom ends of the U-shaped beam 15 are provided with slots 16. The bottom end of the U-shaped beam 15 is inserted into the box body 1 and is engaged with the card plate 14 through the slots 16.

[0038] The U-shaped beam 15, which is inserted and snapped together, makes it easy to insert and assemble the box. The U-shaped beam 15 can also be easily carried by hand during use, and it can also be hung on a hook on the wall for hanging, which has good versatility.

[0039] Furthermore, a mounting plate for wall mounting is fixedly installed on the back of the box 1. The mounting plate has mounting holes, and the encrypted box of this utility model can be directly installed on the wall by drilling holes in the wall through the mounting plate. It has the structural stability. By using the U-shaped beam 15, this utility model has a variety of uses and can meet different usage needs and usage environments.

[0040] Working principle: When the outer cover 2 of the encryption box of this utility model is closed, during the closing process, the limiting rod 11 can be inserted into the slot 5 of the locking box. During the insertion of the limiting rod 11, it will push against the limiting arc block 10 on both sides, thereby compressing the spring 9 between the two limiting arc blocks 10.

[0041] After the outer cover 2 and the housing 1 are completely closed, the limiting rod 11 is fully inserted into the slot 5. After the limiting rod 11 is fully inserted, the limiting groove 12 of the limiting rod 11 can be horizontally aligned with the limiting arc block 10. The springs 9 compressed by the two limiting arc blocks 10 can be reset simultaneously. After being reset, the springs 9 push against the limiting arc blocks 10 on both sides, so that the limiting arc blocks 10 are placed in the limiting groove 12 of the limiting rod 11. The specific state is as shown in the attached instruction manual. Figure 6 As shown, the initial connection between the limit rod 11 and the locking box 4 can be completed at this point;

[0042] When it is necessary to lock the locking box 4, the motor 6 can drive the stud 7 to rotate clockwise through its output shaft. When the stud 7 rotates clockwise, the threaded block 8 on it can move linearly from bottom to top along the stud 7, that is, the threaded block 8 moves upward. The upward movement of the threaded block 8 can drive the top post 18 on its back to move upward. At this time, the top post 18 is placed between the two limiting arc blocks 10 to retract and block the limiting arc blocks 10.

[0043] If the outer cover 2 is pulled open at this time, the limiting rod 11 cannot push against the limiting arc block 10 on both sides due to the limiting block 18. Therefore, the limiting rod 11 cannot be dislodged from the slot 5, and the outer cover 2 cannot be rotated open. At this time, the encryption box is in the encryption lock state.

[0044] When the combination lock box needs to be opened, the preset password can be entered through the password key 3. After the password is entered correctly, the main control circuit board controls the motor 6 to operate. At this time, the motor 6 rotates counterclockwise. When the motor 6 rotates counterclockwise, the threaded block 8 on the stud 7 can move from top to bottom, that is, the threaded block 8 will move down. At this time, the top post 18 will descend synchronously with the threaded block 8, and the two limiting arc blocks 10 will no longer be blocked by the structure of the top post 18. Then the outer cover 2 can be pulled. When the outer cover 2 is pulled, the limiting rod 11 can abut against the limiting arc blocks 10 on both sides, so that the limiting rod 11 can be dislodged from the slot 5. At this time, the outer cover 2 rotates along the bottom pivot to open, so that the items inside the combination lock box can be taken out.

[0045] In summary, the encrypted box of this utility model can automatically lock the lid, preventing it from opening automatically, thus providing a better encryption effect. During use, it is opened by entering a password. After the correct password is entered, the internal electric mechanism automatically releases the lock, allowing the box to be opened. This provides a better electric encryption effect. Compared to traditional key-operated mechanical encrypted boxes, this utility model eliminates the need to carry a key, thus avoiding the risk of losing the key and preventing the box from opening. It offers better structural performance and enhanced security. Operation is more convenient, requiring only a password, effectively meeting the needs of modern society. Furthermore, its simple overall structure and low manufacturing and maintenance costs make it suitable for practical application.

[0046] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
