[0027] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other alternative implementation methods obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this is the first embodiment of the positioning accessory 1 of this application. The positioning accessory 1 includes a housing 11, a cover 12 covering the upper part of the housing, a positioning circuit board 2 built into the housing, and a battery 3 powering the positioning circuit board 2. Preferably, the cover 12 is usually attached to the housing 11 by means of adhesive, snap-fit, etc., and the two are fixedly connected, so the cover 12 will not easily fall off from the upper part of the housing 11. In addition, Figure 1 The housing 11 and cover 12 shown are rectangular, but can also be circular, elliptical, polygonal, or other shapes; no limitation is made here. The positioning circuit board 2 is used to wirelessly communicate with an electronic terminal to determine the location of the positioning accessory 1. This allows the location of the positioning accessory to be displayed on the electronic terminal (including smartphones, wristbands, tablets, etc.), instructing the user to locate it.

[0029] Combination Figure 2Inside the housing 11, there is also a buzzer 4, which is electrically connected to the positioning circuit board 2. When the user finds the positioning accessory 1 through the positioning circuit board 2, the positioning circuit board 2 can trigger the buzzer 4 to sound, indicating the location of the positioning accessory 1 and guiding the user to find it through the prompts emitted by the buzzer 4.

[0030] Furthermore, different patterns can be drawn on the outer surface of the cover 12 to allow users to choose and purchase based on the patterns. A decorative surface 13 can also be provided on the outer surface of the cover 12. The decorative surface 13 can have various patterns and the manufacturer's logo printed on it. The decorative surface 13 can be made of leather, plastic, etc., and is bonded to the cover 12 by cold pressing.

[0031] Furthermore, a switch mark 131 is provided on the decorative surface 13, and a corresponding elastic button 121 is provided on the cover 12. The elastic button 121 is located directly below the switch mark 131. The elastic button 121 can be a circular piece cut from the surface of the cover 12, with a small portion of the circular piece connected to the surface of the cover 12. Further, below the elastic button 121, a button 22 is provided on the positioning circuit board 2. The upper surface of the button 22 is adjacent to the lower surface of the elastic button 121. Therefore, pressing the switch mark 131 presses the elastic button 121, thereby pressing the button 22. When released, the button 22 returns to its original position. By cutting and providing the elastic button 121 on the cover 12, no additional component cost is added, while ensuring effective button pressing and release.

[0032] Furthermore, a connector 21 is also provided on the positioning circuit board 2 for charging the battery 3 and for data communication with the chip on the positioning circuit board 2. Correspondingly, a connector opening 111 is provided on the side wall of the housing 11 for connecting the machine 21 to the outside through the opening.

[0033] Figure 3 The diagram shows the separation between the cover 12 and the decorative surface 13, further illustrating the positional relationship between the switch indicator 131 and the elastic button 121. Directly below the switch indicator 131 is the button 22. Because the cover 12 has the elastic button 121, pressing the switch indicator 131 allows the button 22 to be pressed via the elastic button 121, thus controlling the positioning circuit board 2.

[0034] Regarding the positioning circuit board 2 in this application, the contents of Chinese Patent Application No. 202520714419.7, which discloses the composition of components and electrical connections on the circuit board, are incorporated herein by reference. This positioning circuit board 2 can wirelessly communicate with electronic terminals (such as mobile phones, tablets, walkie-talkies, and other terminal devices with wireless communication capabilities, which are not limited here). When the positioning accessory 1 is separated from the electronic terminal, the electronic terminal can display the position of the positioning accessory 1 and trigger the positioning accessory 1 to emit a sound and / or light (the housing is made of a semi-transparent material that allows light to pass through), thereby helping the user of the electronic terminal to quickly and accurately locate the positioning accessory 1.

[0035] like Figure 4 As shown, the positioning circuit board 2 includes a connector 21 electrically connected to the input terminal of the battery charging circuit 26. The connector 21 is used to connect an external charger or electronic terminal. The battery charging circuit 26 can regulate and reduce the voltage of the externally connected charging power supply to meet the charging needs of the battery 3. The output terminal of the battery charging circuit 26 is connected to the positive terminal of the rechargeable battery 3, and the negative terminal of the battery is grounded. A battery protection chip 27 is connected in parallel across the positive and negative terminals of the battery 3 for safety protection and monitoring of battery charging and discharging.

[0036] The positive terminal of battery 3 is also connected to the input terminal of linear regulated power supply 28, which is used to regulate or transform the output voltage of battery 3 before output. The output terminal of linear regulated power supply 28 is connected to the positive terminals of Bluetooth and / or WiFi chip 23, triaxial sensor 29 and light-emitting diode 24 (there are 3 in the figure, corresponding to the three different light-emitting colors of red, green and blue respectively).

[0037] The triaxial sensor 29 can be used to sense the motion state of the positioning accessory 1, and to perform motion analysis and positioning measurement on the positioning accessory 1 to achieve the positioning function. The Bluetooth and / or WiFi chip 23 has communication and control functions, and transmits and receives wireless communication signals through an antenna, thereby communicating wirelessly with the adapted electronic terminal.

[0038] The Bluetooth chip and / or WiFi chip 23 are also electrically connected to the button 22, buzzer 4, and indicator light 24 (illustrated as an LED). The button 22 allows for power on / off operation of the positioning accessory 1, as well as other operations. The buzzer 4 emits a prompt sound, and the indicator light 24 displays different operating states, including red, green, and blue LEDs, such as charging status, low voltage indication, etc.

[0039] Furthermore, such as Figure 5As shown, a convex surface 15 is formed on the upper part of the peripheral wall of the housing 11. This is because the thickness of the first peripheral wall 151 below the convex surface 15 is greater than the thickness of the second peripheral wall 152 above the convex surface 15, thus forming the convex surface 15. The convex surface 15 is used to support the cover 12, that is, the cover 12 can be placed inside the housing 11 and supported by the convex surface 15, and the periphery of the cover 12 in contact with the convex surface 15 can be glued to the convex surface 15 by adhesive.

[0040] In addition, combined Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, a positioning post 112 and a fixing seat 113 are also provided on the bottom surface 14. The positioning post 112 is located next to the side wall opposite to the side wall where the connector opening 111 is located, and the fixing seat 113 is located between the connector opening 111 and the positioning post 112. The positioning post 112 and the fixing seat 113 are used to position and install the positioning circuit board 2 in the housing 11. The arrangement of the two in the bottom surface 14 is conducive to the positioning circuit board 2 being installed by first tilting the connector 21 into the connector opening 111, and then inserting the positioning post 112 through the opening on the positioning circuit board 2 to complete the positioning of the positioning circuit board 2 in the housing 11. Finally, the positioning circuit board 2 is fixed to the fixing seat 113 by screws. The positioning circuit board 2 also has an opening at the corresponding position of the fixing seat 113.

[0041] exist Figure 6 The document also shows that a groove 141 adapted to the shape of the buzzer 4 and used to accommodate the buzzer 4 is provided on the bottom surface 14 of the housing 11. A through hole 142 is also provided at the bottom of the groove, through which the sound emitted by the buzzer 4 can be transmitted to indicate the location of the positioning accessory 1. Figure 5 The buzzer 4 is shown to be housed and installed in the recess 141.

[0042] Furthermore, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, a support 144 is also provided around the periphery of the groove 141 in this application. This support 144 is arranged in a ring around the periphery of the groove 141 to support the buzzer 4. It also forms a cavity 143 between the bottom of the buzzer 4 and the bottom of the groove 141. This cavity enhances the sound of the buzzer 4, producing a greater sound output under the same conditions compared to not having this cavity structure. The support 144 can be a ring-shaped double-sided adhesive that bonds the buzzer 4 to the groove 141 and provides support.

[0043] Furthermore, in such Figure 9 , 10As shown, a clip 17 is also provided on the outside of the bottom surface 14 of the housing 11. It can be seen that the clip 17 includes a fixing part 171 provided on the outside of the bottom surface 14, and a clamping part 172 pivotally connected to the fixing part 171. A spring is provided on the pivot. The force of the spring causes the first end 1721 of the clamping part 172 to be pressed against the bottom surface 14 as the clamping end, while the second end 1722 of the clamping part 172 is away from the bottom surface 14 as the pressing end. These two ends surround the fixing part 171 in a seesaw-like structure. Therefore, by pressing the second end 1722 of the clamping part 172, the first end 1721 of the clamping part 172 can be lifted, thereby clamping the positioning accessory onto an object, such as a document bag or clothing.

[0044] Furthermore, a clamping end face 1723 extends from the first end 1721 of the clamping part 172 in a direction parallel to the bottom surface 14. This clamping end face 1723 can make surface contact with the bottom surface 14, further enhancing the clamping contact area and increasing the clamping force. Additionally, the tail of the clamping end face 1723 is slightly raised, i.e., raised away from the bottom surface 14, facilitating the smooth entry of the clamped item into the clamping space formed between the clamping end face 1723 and the bottom surface 14. The second end 1722 of the clamping part 172 is also provided with a hanging hole 1724, which can be used to suspend the positioning accessory. A thin rope can also be threaded through the hanging hole 1724, allowing the positioning accessory to be combined with a keychain, pendant, etc.

[0045] Furthermore, such as Figure 11 As shown, two connecting ears 174 are provided on the back of the clamping part 172. Two through holes are also provided on the connecting ears 174 for inserting the connecting post 173. The clamping part 172 and the fixing part 171 are joined together by the connecting ears 174 and the connecting post 173. Additionally, a spring (not shown) needs to be fitted onto the connecting post 173 between the two connecting ears 174 to ensure that the clamping part 172 has good elastic clamping force. The diameter of the spring hole and the diameter of the connecting ear 174 hole are both larger than the diameter of the connecting post 173 hole, so that the spring can be easily installed onto the connecting post 173, and the connecting post 173 can be easily installed onto the connecting ear 174. Therefore, a fixing member 1731 needs to be added to one side of the connecting post 173. After the connecting post 173 and the spring are installed onto the connecting ear 174, the fixing member 1731 is used to secure the connecting post 173, making it firmly and reliably fixed to the connecting ear 174 and joined to the fixing part 171.

[0046] In addition, on the back of the clamping part 172, multiple parallel anti-slip strips 1725 are provided on the clamping end face 1723, which helps to improve the clamping effect of the clamping part 172.

[0047] Finally, it should be noted that if any directional indication (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) is involved in the embodiments of this application, the directional indication is only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of each component in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly.

[0048] Furthermore, if the embodiments of this application involve descriptions such as "first" or "second," these descriptions are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, features defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of those features. Additionally, the technical solutions of various embodiments can be combined with each other, but this must be based on the ability of those skilled in the art to implement them. If the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or impossible to implement, it should be considered that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection claimed in this application.

[0049] The above are merely embodiments of this application and do not limit the scope of this patent application. Any equivalent structural or procedural changes made using the content of this application's specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the scope of patent protection of this application.
