Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of storage devices, and more particularly to a storage device with a lock. Background Technology

[0002] Adult products, such as vibrators (eggs) and sucking devices, are designed as independent products with specific functions due to their nature involving high user privacy. To meet users' basic needs for product protection and privacy, existing technologies generally equip these independent products with dedicated storage containers, such as rigid storage devices or soft storage bags. The main function of these auxiliary storage containers is to provide physical isolation when the product is not in use, reducing the possibility of direct identification.

[0003] However, this model of a standalone product plus an attached storage container has a significant limitation on privacy protection during actual use and storage: the opening method of the storage container itself is usually quite conventional and lacks active protection mechanisms (such as simple snaps, zippers, etc.); more importantly, the ultimate concealment of the product highly depends on the user's proper storage of the storage container and careful selection of its location. When the user fails to place the storage container in a sufficiently private or safe location due to negligence, time constraints, or in a shared apartment (such as sharing storage space with others), there is a risk that the container may be accidentally discovered and opened by others, causing the user embarrassment and other psychological discomfort. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a lockable storage device. By setting a lock mechanism inside the storage box that can only be unlocked with a fingerprint, the opening of the cover is restricted, thus preventing the products stored inside from being discovered.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by the lockable storage device disclosed in this utility model is as follows:

[0006] The device includes a housing and a locking mechanism. The housing contains a PCB board and a fingerprint extraction module that penetrates the housing and is electrically connected to the PCB board. A battery, also electrically connected to the PCB board, is located inside the housing. A bracket is fixedly connected inside the housing and extends out of the housing. The bracket has a slot. A cover plate is rotatably connected to the housing and rests on the bracket. A first protrusion extends from the cover plate. The locking mechanism includes a limiting plate and a driving assembly. The middle of the limiting plate is rotatably connected to the housing. A coil spring is located on the limiting plate, with both ends contacting the limiting plate and the housing, respectively. One end of the limiting plate passes through the bracket and engages with the first protrusion. The driving assembly is connected to the bracket and electrically connected to the PCB board, contacting the other end of the limiting plate.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment, the drive assembly includes a motor and a dial wheel. The motor is fixedly connected to the bottom of the bracket, and the output shaft of the motor is fixedly connected to the dial wheel. A paddle extends from the outer side of the dial wheel. The paddle is arc-shaped and touches the other end of the limiting piece.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment, one end of the limiting piece extends with a first buckle, which engages with a first protrusion, and the other end of the limiting piece extends with a protrusion that touches the paddle.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment, a mounting base is fixedly connected to the bottom of the bracket, the mounting base and the bracket clamp the motor, a limiting block extends from the mounting base, a slope is provided on one side of the limiting block, and the paddle is located above the limiting block.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment, the device also includes a protective sheet with a connecting post extending from it. A recessed groove is provided on the outer side of the receiving box, and a connecting hole is provided in the recessed groove. The protective sheet covers the recessed groove, and the connecting post is inserted into the connecting hole for rotational connection.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment, the fingerprint extraction module is located in the sink, and the PCB board is electrically connected to a first charging interface and a second charging interface. The first charging interface extends out of the housing box, and the second charging interface passes through the bracket and is located in the slot.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment, the outer side of the housing is provided with function buttons and switch buttons, both of which are inserted into the housing and electrically connected to the PCB board.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment, the cover plate is provided with a limiting pad, and a limiting groove is formed on the limiting pad, with the limiting groove positioned above the groove.

[0014] The beneficial effects of the lockable storage device disclosed in this utility model are:

[0015] After the vibrating and suction devices are placed in the slot, the rotating cover is placed on the bracket. The first protrusion engages with one end of the limiting piece to form a mechanical lock, thus storing the product in the storage box and the cover. When it is necessary to open, the user's finger touches the fingerprint extraction module. After the biometric data read by the fingerprint extraction module is verified by the PCB board, the drive component drives the other end of the limiting piece to rotate a certain angle inside the storage box, causing one end of the limiting piece to disengage from the first protrusion. The cover then rotates freely and opens to retrieve the product. This solution, through the design of fingerprint recognition and a mechanically locked cover, ensures that unauthorized users cannot trigger the locking mechanism or open the cover, effectively solving the risk of accidental opening of traditional containers. At the same time, it provides visual concealment for the stored products, so it is impossible to know what products are placed inside. Attached Figure Description

[0025] The present invention will be further described and illustrated below with reference to specific embodiments and the accompanying drawings:

[0026] Please refer to Figures 1-3 .

[0027] The present invention discloses a lockable storage device, comprising a storage box 1, a protective plate 15, and a locking mechanism 3;

[0028] The storage box 1 contains a PCB board 12, which is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the storage box 1. The PCB board 12 is electrically connected to a control module and an indicator light. The indicator light is electrically connected to the control module through the PCB board 12. A light guide plate 13 is embedded in the bottom of the storage box 1. The light guide plate 13 penetrates into the interior of the storage box 1, and the indicator light faces the light guide plate 13. The indicator light is used to indicate to the user what working mode the storage device is currently in.

[0029] Furthermore, a recessed groove 14 is provided on the outer side of the receiving box 1, and a second slot 141 and a connecting hole are provided in the recessed groove 14; a fingerprint extraction module 124 is provided on the receiving box 1, the fingerprint extraction module 124 is installed in the recessed groove 14, the wires of the fingerprint extraction module 124 are inserted into the receiving box 1 and electrically connected to the PCB board 12, the fingerprint recognition module is provided on the PCB board 12, the fingerprint extraction module 124 is electrically connected to the fingerprint recognition module through the PCB board 12, and the fingerprint recognition module is electrically connected to the control module through the PCB board 12;

[0030] Furthermore, the housing 1 contains a battery 121, which is electrically connected to the PCB board 12 and supplies power to the PCB board 12.

[0031] Furthermore, a first charging interface 122 is electrically connected to the PCB board 12. The first charging interface 122 extends out of the housing box 1 and is located in the sink 14.

[0032] In this embodiment, the protective sheet 15 is preferably made of silicone, so that the protective sheet 15 can be elastically deformed while hiding the position of the fingerprint extraction module 124; one end of the protective sheet 15 extends with a second buckle 151, and the other end of the protective sheet 15 extends with a connecting post 152.

[0033] One side of the protective sheet 15 is fitted inside the recess 14. The connecting post 152 is inserted into the connecting hole and can be rotatably connected. The second buckle 151 is snapped into the second slot 141 and can be detachably connected. By moving one end of the protective sheet 15, the second buckle 151 is disengaged from the second slot 141, and the protective sheet 15 is rotated in the recess 14, thereby exposing the fingerprint extraction module 124 and the first charging interface 122. The fingerprint extraction module 124 is used to read the user's fingerprint and electrically connects the external charging cable to the first charging interface 122. The first charging interface 122 charges the battery 121 through the PCB board 12. After fingerprint reading and charging are completed, the protective sheet 15 is reset, hiding the position of the fingerprint extraction module 124 and the first charging interface 122, so that no one other than the user knows the position of the fingerprint extraction module 124 and that this storage device is electrically driven.

[0034] The outer side of the storage box 1 is provided with a function button 111 and a switch button 112. The function button 111 and the switch button 112 are located on both sides of the sink 14. Both the function button 111 and the switch button 112 are inserted into the storage box 1 and electrically connected to the PCB board 12. When the user receives the storage device, pressing the function button 111 activates the fingerprint enrollment mode. In this embodiment, the control module's start indicator light flashes rapidly to indicate to the user that the storage device is currently enrolling fingerprints. The fingerprint extraction module 124 reads the user's fingerprint and transmits it to the fingerprint recognition module through the PCB board 12. After the fingerprint enrollment is completed, in this embodiment, the control module's start indicator light turns blue to indicate to the user that the storage device has completed the fingerprint enrollment.

[0035] Pressing function button 111 can also switch the indicator light adjustment, allowing the storage device to act as an ambient light.

[0036] By pressing the switch button 112, the fingerprint extraction module 124 is activated to read the user's fingerprint to open the storage device. When the fingerprint recognition module verifies the fingerprint, the control module activation indicator light turns green to prompt the user to open the cover 2. When the fingerprint recognition module fails to verify the fingerprint, the control module activation indicator light turns red to prompt the user that the fingerprint is incorrect and to perform a re-identification.

[0037] Please refer to Figures 3-5 .

[0038] The top of the storage box 1 has an opening, and multiple spaced protrusions 113 extend from the inner wall of the storage box 1. The multiple protrusions 113 are close to and surround the opening. A bracket 16 is fixedly connected inside the storage box 1. Multiple spaced first slots 162 are opened on the outer side of the bracket 16. The multiple first slots 162 surround the outer side of the bracket 16. The bracket 16 is inserted into the storage box 1 through the opening, and the top of the bracket 16 protrudes out of the storage box 1 through the opening. The protrusions 113 are locked into the first slots 162 for fixation. The storage box 1 is constrained inside the storage box 1 by the protrusions 113 being locked into the first slots 162 of the bracket 16.

[0039] Furthermore, the bracket 16 has slots 161. In this embodiment, it is preferred that there are two slots 161, and the cross-section of the slots 161 is arc-shaped. The arc-shaped slots 161 can fit the outer contour of the product 4 and reduce the swaying amplitude of the product 4 in the slots 161.

[0040] Furthermore, the PCB board 12 is electrically connected to a second charging interface 123. In this embodiment, it is preferable to have two second charging interfaces 123, which correspond to two slots 161. The second charging interfaces 123 pass through the bracket 16 and are located at the bottom of the slots 161. When the products 4 (vibrating device and suction device) are placed in the two slots 161 respectively, the second charging interfaces 123 located at the bottom of the slots 161 are electrically connected to the products 4. The battery 121 charges the products 4 through the PCB board 12 and the second charging interfaces 123, thus preventing the user from being accidentally discovered by others while charging the products 4.

[0041] Please refer to Figures 1-6 .

[0042] A cover plate 2 is rotatably connected to the storage box 1. The cover plate 2 covers the bracket 16 and a first protrusion 211 extends from the cover plate 2.

[0043] Furthermore, a limiting pad 22 is provided inside the cover plate 2, and a limiting groove 221 is provided on the limiting pad 22. In this embodiment, it is preferred that there are two limiting grooves 221, and the two limiting grooves 221 correspond to two slots 161. The limiting grooves 221 are placed above the slots 161.

[0044] When the cover plate 2 is placed on the bracket 16, the limiting groove 221 touches the top of the product 4, constraining the product 4 within the groove 161, further reducing the swaying amplitude of the product 4 in the groove 161.

[0045] Please refer to Figures 5-9 .

[0046] The locking mechanism 3 includes a limiting plate 31 and a driving assembly 33; the middle part of the limiting plate 31 is rotatably connected to the receiving box 1, and a coil spring 32 is provided on the limiting plate 31. The two ends of the coil spring 32 respectively abut against the limiting plate 31 and the receiving box 1. A first buckle 311 extends from one end of the limiting plate 31, and a protrusion 312 extends from the other end of the limiting plate 31.

[0047] Furthermore, a through groove is provided on the bracket 16, and one end of the limiting piece 31 extends out of the outer side of the receiving box 1 through the through groove of the bracket 16.

[0048] During the closing process of the flip cover 2, the first protrusion 211 pushes the limiting piece 31 to rotate a certain angle inside the receiving box 1 and compresses the coil spring 32. After the cover 2 completely covers the bracket 16, the coil spring 32 pushes the limiting piece 31 to reset, so that the first buckle 311 and the first protrusion 211 engage to form a mechanical lock, thereby storing the product 4 inside the receiving box 1 and the cover 2.

[0049] The drive assembly 33 is connected to the bracket 16 and electrically connected to the PCB board 12. The drive assembly 33 touches the other end of the limiting piece 31. The drive assembly 33 includes a motor 331 and a dial wheel 332. The motor 331 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the bracket 16. The motor 331 is located between two slots 161. Since the slots 161 are arc-shaped, there is a cavity between the two slots 161. Using this cavity to arrange the motor 331 can reduce the volume of the storage device. The motor 331 is electrically connected to the PCB board 12 and electrically connected to the control module through the PCB board 12. The output shaft of the motor 331 is fixedly connected to the dial wheel 332. A paddle 333 extends from the outer side of the dial wheel 332. In this embodiment, the paddle 333 is preferably arc-shaped and paddle-shaped. The paddle 333 touches the protrusion 312 at the other end of the limiting piece 31.

[0050] Furthermore, a mounting base 34 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the bracket 16. The mounting base 34 and the bracket 16 clamp the motor 331. A limit block 341 extends from the mounting base 34. A slope is provided on one side of the limit block 341. The paddle 333 is located above the limit block 341.

[0051] When the fingerprint recognition module verifies the fingerprint, the control module controls the motor 331 to start rotating via the PCB board 12. The output shaft of the motor 331 drives the lever 333 to rotate a certain angle via the dial wheel 332, so that the lever 333 touches the inclined surface of the limiting block 341. The protrusion 312 slides on the lever 333, and the arc-shaped lever 333 pushes the other end of the limiting piece 31 through the protrusion 312, so that the limiting piece 31 rotates a certain angle on the housing box 1, thereby allowing the limiting piece to... The first buckle 311 at one end of 31 disengages from the first protrusion 211, and the cover plate 2 rotates freely to open, allowing product 4 to be taken out. When the cover plate 2 is opened, the output shaft of the motor 331 drives the dial 333 to rotate in the opposite direction and reset through the dial wheel 332, so that the dial 333 touches the top of the limiting block 341, and the limiting block 341 limits the rotation angle of the dial wheel 332. After the protrusion 312 of the limiting piece 31 loses the contact of the dial 333, the coil spring 32 pushes the limiting piece 31 to reset.

[0052] This utility model provides a lockable storage device. After vibrating devices or suction devices are placed in the slot, a rotating cover is placed on the bracket. A mechanical lock is formed by the engagement of a first protrusion and one end of a limiting piece, thus storing the product in the storage box and the cover. When it is necessary to open, the user's finger touches the fingerprint extraction module. After the biometric data read by the fingerprint extraction module is verified by the PCB board, the drive component drives the other end of the limiting piece to rotate a certain angle inside the storage box, causing one end of the limiting piece to disengage from the first protrusion. The cover then rotates freely and opens to retrieve the product. This solution, through the design of fingerprint recognition and a mechanically locked cover, ensures that unauthorized users cannot trigger the locking mechanism or open the cover, effectively solving the risk of accidental opening of traditional containers. At the same time, it provides visual concealment for the stored products, so it is impossible to know what products are placed inside.

[0053] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the essence and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model.
