[0002] To prevent theft, valuables in supermarkets and shopping malls are usually placed in protective boxes with protective tags. A detection system that works with these tags is installed at the supermarket entrance. When customers are selecting items, they are asked to remove them from the protective boxes for inspection. This requires opening the boxes. To prevent internal theft, the protective tags are usually opened by a designated person at a different location. When the salesperson returns to the customer with the opened protective box, the hinged lid often relocks midway, or after the salesperson removes the item. When the customer no longer needs the item, it cannot be put back into the protective box and must be unlocked again, making the process cumbersome. Utility Model Content

[0039] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, illustrating only the basic structure of the present invention. Therefore, they only show the components, orientations, and references (e.g., up, down, left, right, etc.) relevant to the present invention and are intended only to aid in the description of the features in the drawings. Therefore, the following specific embodiments are not intended to be restrictive, and the scope of the claimed subject matter is defined solely by the appended claims and their equivalents.
[0040] like Figures 1-4As shown, a protective box anti-theft device is provided. The protective box includes a box body 1 and a cover 2 covering the box body 1. The box body 1 and the cover 2 are hinged on one side, and the anti-theft device is provided on the other side. The anti-theft device includes an upper hook 3 fixed on the cover 2, a slider 4 movably disposed on the box body 1 and having a first position and a second position, an elastic lower hook 5 elastically disposed on the slider 4 and used to hook with the upper hook 3, and a locking structure used to limit the slider 4 to the second position.
[0041] like Figure 5 As shown, when the slider 4 is in the first position, the elastic lower hook 5 and upper hook 3 are initially locked, thereby initially locking the box 1 and the cover 2. This is a "false lock". Under a certain external force, the slider 4 can move left and right, allowing the elastic lower hook 5 and upper hook 3 to disengage, at which point the cover 2 can be opened; Figure 6 As shown, when the slider 4 moves to the second position and the locking structure locks the slider 4 in the second position, the elastic lower hook 5 and the upper hook 3 are completely locked. At this time, the box body 1 and the cover body 2 are locked to prevent theft.
[0042] In some examples, the slider 4 forms a sliding cavity 403 for the sliding of the elastic lower hook 5. The sliding cavity 403 can guide the movement of the elastic lower hook 5, and the sliding cavity 403 has an opening for the elastic lower hook 5 to extend out and engage with the upper hook 3. A first elastic element 9 is installed in the sliding cavity 403. One end of the first elastic element 9 abuts against the elastic lower hook 5, and the other end abuts against the bottom of the sliding cavity 403. The first elastic element 9 can be a spring, which is used to push the elastic lower hook 5 to the upper hook 3 so that the two are hooked together.
[0043] In some examples, such as Figure 4 As shown, the box body 1 has a locking box formed on the outside for mounting the slider 4. The slider 4 can slide left and right inside the locking box. The locking box includes a box body 6 and a box cover 7 that are snapped together. The box body 6 and the box cover 7 respectively have a protruding snap-fit part and a recessed snap-fit groove for the snap-fit part to be snapped into. The box body 6 is integrally formed with the box body 1, and the top of the box body 6 is open for the upper hook 3 to enter.
[0044] In some examples, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the slider 4 protrudes to form a positioning part 404, and the inner wall of the housing 6 forms a positioning groove 601 that cooperates with the positioning part 404 to initially limit the slider 4 to a first position. The positioning groove 601 has a V-shaped structure, which facilitates its sliding in and out. The inner wall of the housing 6 protrudes to form at least two protrusions, and the positioning groove 601 is formed between the two protrusions. The protrusions also have a V-shaped structure. The positioning groove 601 cooperates with the positioning part 404 to "temporarily" limit the slider 4 to a first position. When a certain external force is applied to the slider 4, the positioning part 404 can disengage from the positioning groove 601. When the positioning part 404 is inserted into the positioning groove 601, it has a locking sensation, which can improve the operator's feel and provide a prompt to the operator. At the same time, the inner wall of the housing 6 protrudes to form a limiting protrusion, which is used to abut against the slider 4 when it reaches the second position to limit it.
[0045] In some examples, such as Figure 4 As shown, the locking structure includes a through groove 401 on the slider 4, a locking groove 101 on the housing 1, a locking cylinder 13 for passing through the through groove 401 and the locking groove 101 in sequence to lock the slider 4 in the second position when they are aligned, and a second elastic member 11 for applying pressure to the locking cylinder 13. When the through groove 401 and the locking groove 101 are misaligned during the sliding process of the slider 4, the slider 4 blocks the opening of the locking groove 101, and the locking cylinder 13 cannot enter the locking groove 101. At this time, the second elastic member 11 is in a compressed state. When the through groove 401 and the locking groove 101 are aligned, they are connected, and the locking cylinder 13 enters the locking groove 101 from the through groove 401 under the elastic force of the second elastic member 11 to lock the slider 4 in the second position.
[0046] In some examples, such as Figure 4 As shown, the locking structure also includes a lock cover 8 fixed to the slider 4. One end of the lock cover 8, away from the slider 4, extends out of the cover 7 to form an operating part. By pushing and pulling the operating part, the lock cover 8 can be moved left and right, thereby moving the slider 4 left and right. The lock cover 8 has an installation cavity for the lock cylinder 13. One end of the second elastic member 11 abuts against the lock cylinder 13, and the other end abuts against the bottom of the installation cavity. Under the elastic force of the second elastic member 11, the lock cylinder 13 can enter the lock groove 101.
[0047] In some examples, such as Figure 4 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the through groove 401 expands to form an insertion hole 402 for inserting the lock cover 8 on the side opposite to the lock groove 101. The insertion hole 402 can limit the lock cover 8 left and right, and the lock cover 8 has a limiting part 801 protruding from the middle. An embedding cavity is formed between the slider 4 and the box cover 7 for the limiting part 801 to be embedded. The embedding cavity can limit the lock cover 8 front and back and prevent it from falling out of the lock box. At the same time, a retaining strip 802 protrudes from the limiting part 801, and a retaining groove 405 is formed on the slider 4 for the retaining strip 802 to be inserted.
[0048] In some examples, the slider 4 is also equipped with a fixed lower hook 10, and there are two upper hooks 3. The two upper hooks 3 are respectively hooked to the elastic lower hook 5 and the fixed lower hook 10, so that two hooking points can be formed between the cover 2 and the box 1, thereby improving the locking effect of the anti-theft device.
[0049] In some examples, the hinge point of the box body 1 and the cover body 2 is equipped with an alarm mechanism. When the protective box is stolen and forcibly opened, the alarm mechanism can sound a warning.
[0050] In some examples, the alarm mechanism includes a contact switch 12 mounted on the housing 1 and a pressing part 201 protruding from the cover 2 for pressing the contact switch 12 to generate a signal. When the cover 2 is opened, the pressing part 201 presses down to apply pressure to the contact switch 12, the circuit is turned on, and the buzzer sounds to provide an alarm.
[0051] The above description, based on the preferred embodiments of this utility model, provides inspiration. Those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the technical concept of this utility model. The technical scope of this utility model is not limited to the contents of the specification but must be determined according to the claims.
