Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vehicle positioning technology, and more specifically, to a positioning device for car rental. Background Technology

[0002] Car rental refers to a business model where a rental operator delivers a rental vehicle (including freight vehicles and passenger vehicles) to a lessee for use within a specified period. Car rental is characterized by short rental periods, convenient rental, and after-sales services such as maintenance and repair provided by the lessor.

[0003] A car rental positioning device disclosed in Publication No. CN220367422U is described. This technology includes a mounting box, with a circuit board mounted at one end inside the mounting box and a feedback component on one side of the top of the circuit board. A fixing box is mounted at one end inside the mounting box, and a power-conducting component is located inside the fixing box. A cover plate is mounted at one end of the mounting box. By using a backup power module, the device can be powered when the main circuit is disconnected. If the user intentionally damages the backup power module, the collision sensor can detect the damage and alert staff. If the cover plate is removed, the push-button switch on the push-button module, which was originally blocked by the cover plate, will pop out, connecting the battery module to power and activating the alarm module, immediately alerting staff and preventing intentional damage to the device by the user.

[0004] However, the aforementioned car rental positioning device has the following drawbacks:

[0005] 1. Although the positioning device in this patent can notify staff by relying on the alarm module in the event of violent damage, the response time is long and it lacks the ability to actively intervene, resulting in insufficient deterrence. Moreover, the triggering condition is simple and it is easy to be circumvented by shielding or interference.

[0006] To address the aforementioned issues, this application proposes a positioning device for car rental. Utility Model Content

[0007] In response to the problems in related technologies, this utility model provides a positioning device for car rental, which can further enhance anti-vandalism capabilities and deterrence capabilities.

[0008] Therefore, the specific technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0009] A car rental positioning device includes a housing, an adsorption base fixedly mounted on the upper end of the housing, a camera mounted on the front outer wall of the housing, a display screen mounted on the rear outer wall of the housing, several control buttons mounted on the outer walls of the housing on both sides of the display screen, a control component installed in the inner cavity of the housing, the control component being electrically connected to the vehicle's infotainment system via a connecting cable, the vehicle's infotainment system being signal-connected to a mini wireless locator, and spare batteries mounted on both sides of the control component.

[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the control component includes a main board body, which is installed in the inner cavity of the housing. The main board body is electrically connected to a central information processing module, and a storage module is installed on the main board body to the left of the central information processing module.

[0011] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a positioning module is installed on the motherboard body to the left of the storage module, an anti-tamper sensor module is installed on the motherboard body to the right of the central information processing module, a signal module is installed to the right of the anti-tamper sensor module, and a spare port module is also installed on the motherboard body.

[0012] As a further embodiment of this utility model, both the vehicle control terminal and the control components are equipped with a locking program module.

[0013] As a further embodiment of this invention, the control component is electrically connected to the backup battery and the vehicle power supply terminal via electrical cables.

[0015] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a cover is installed at the bottom of the housing by mounting bolts, and an electrical cable and a connecting cable pass through the cover.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0017] This invention utilizes a housing, control components, connecting cables, a vehicle control unit, and a mini wireless locator that work together. When the user removes the housing, the anti-tamper sensor module in the control component activates, sending a signal to the central information processing module. Subsequently, the central information processing module sends signals to both the vehicle control unit and the operator via a signal module, triggering a locking procedure to lock the vehicle. The operator also receives this information. If the user bypasses the signal by shielding or interfering with the housing, the vehicle control unit loses the signal connected to the control component, triggering the locking procedure to lock the vehicle. Simultaneously, the mini wireless locator, unable to receive a signal, periodically sends a location signal to the operator to assist in locating the vehicle. This enhances the device's anti-vandalism and deterrent capabilities, thereby improving the safety of rented vehicles. Attached Figure Description

[0027] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a positioning device for car rental is provided.

[0028] Please refer to the instruction manual appendix. Figure 1-5According to an embodiment of the present invention, a car rental positioning device includes a housing 1. An adsorption base 2 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the housing 1. A camera 3 is installed on the front outer wall of the housing 1, and a display screen 4 is installed on the rear outer wall of the housing 1. Several control buttons 5 are installed on the outer walls of the housing 1 on both sides of the display screen 4. A control component 6 is installed in the inner cavity of the housing 1. The control component 6 is electrically connected to a vehicle control terminal 8 of the car via a connecting cable 7. Both the vehicle control terminal 8 and the control component 6 are equipped with a locking program module. The vehicle control terminal 8 is signal-connected to a mini wireless locator 9, which is self-powered. In addition to the mode of periodically sending signals, the control component 6 has backup batteries 10 installed on both sides. The control component 6 includes a main board body 61, which is installed in the inner cavity of the housing 1. A central information processing module 62 is electrically connected to the main board body 61. A storage module 63 is installed on the main board body 61 to the left of the central information processing module 62. A positioning module 64 is installed on the main board body 61 to the left of the storage module 63. An anti-tamper sensor module 65 is installed on the main board body 61 to the right of the central information processing module 62. A signal module 66 is installed to the right of the anti-tamper sensor module 65. A backup port module is also installed on the main board body 61. The device works in conjunction with the housing 1, control component 6, connecting cable 7, vehicle control terminal 8, and mini wireless locator 9. When the user removes the housing 1, the anti-tamper sensor module 65 in the control component 6 activates, sending a signal to the central information processing module 62. Subsequently, the central information processing module 62 sends signals to the vehicle control terminal 8 and the staff through the signal module 66, triggering the locking program to lock the vehicle. At the same time, the staff also receive the information. When the user uses shielding or interference to avoid the signal and removes the housing 1, the vehicle control terminal 8, unable to receive the signal connected to the control component 6, triggers the locking program to lock the vehicle. Meanwhile, the mini wireless locator 9, unable to receive the signal, will periodically send location signals to the staff to assist in locating the vehicle. This further enhances the device's anti-vandalism and deterrent capabilities, thereby improving the safety of rented vehicles.

[0029] In one embodiment, please refer to the appendix to the specification. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As a further embodiment of this invention, the control component 6 is electrically connected to the backup battery 10 and the vehicle power supply terminal via cables 11. The cables 11 are designed to transmit electrical energy.

[0030] In one embodiment, please refer to the appendix to the specification. Figure 3As a further embodiment of this utility model, a cover 12 is mounted on the bottom of the housing 1 by mounting bolts, and an electrical cable 11 and a connecting cable 7 pass through the cover 12. The cover 12 provides protection for the components inside the housing 1.

[0031] Workflow: In use, first connect the connecting cable 7 to the vehicle's infotainment system 8, then install the housing 1 into the designated position using the suction cup 2. During operation, the cameras 3 and display screen 4 on the front and rear sides of the housing 1 function as a dashcam, while the storage module 63 in the control component 6 provides data storage space. Simultaneously, the positioning module 64 in the control component 6 sends vehicle location information to the operator via the signal module 66. When the user removes the housing 1, the anti-tamper sensor module 65 in the control component 6 activates, sending a signal to the central information processing module 62. The central information processing module 62 then sends signals to both the vehicle's infotainment system 8 and the operator via the signal module 66, triggering the locking procedure and locking the vehicle. The operator also receives this information. If the user bypasses the signal by shielding or interfering with the signal and removes the housing 1, the vehicle's infotainment system 8 loses the signal connected to the control component 6, triggering the locking procedure and locking the vehicle. Simultaneously, the mini wireless locator 9 loses the signal and periodically sends location signals to the operator to assist in locating the vehicle.

[0032] The power supply and operating principles of the camera 3, display screen 4, motherboard 61, central information processing module 62, storage module 63, positioning module 64, anti-tamper sensor module 65, and spare port module are clear to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.

[0033] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
