TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of anti-lost device accessories, in particular to a power supply protection mechanism of anti-lost device. BACKGROUND
[0002] The AirTag anti-lost device launched by Apple has become the mainstream product in the market due to its precise UWB positioning technology, but the typical endurance of the built-in button battery is only about 12 months. Users need to frequently disassemble the back cover to replace the battery, which may damage the sealing structure during operation and may cause the waterproof performance to decrease after long-term use. More importantly, if the user does not replace the battery in time when the battery is depleted, the device will lose connection and lose the anti-lost function, which poses a major risk to long-term monitoring of high-value items.
[0003] Existing improvement schemes focus on additional protective shells or hanging buckle structures, but none of them solve the core power supply problem: some third-party charging shells need to be disassembled as a whole to charge the AirTag, which interrupts the positioning function. The magnetic type external power supply has the risk of poor contact and cannot be compatible with standard batteries. In addition, the circuit pins of the AirTag are closed inside the shell, and traditional external schemes cannot directly power it, and forced modification may damage the original circuit. SUMMARY
[0004] The main purpose of the utility model is to provide a power supply protection mechanism of anti-lost device, which can be compatible with general battery specifications and provide seamless power supply for the anti-lost device.
[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the utility model provides a power supply protection mechanism of anti-lost device, characterized by comprising a bottom shell and a shell detachably connected to the bottom shell, a connecting cavity is arranged between the bottom shell and the shell, and a partition is arranged opposite the connecting cavity, a battery compartment is arranged on one side of the connecting cavity opposite the partition, and a mounting cavity for connecting with the anti-lost device is arranged on the other side.
[0006] A mounting bracket is arranged in the mounting cavity, a locking structure for connecting with the anti-lost device is arranged on one side of the mounting bracket facing the shell, a connecting structure for connecting with the battery compartment is arranged on one side of the mounting bracket facing the bottom shell, and a connecting assembly is arranged on the end face of the mounting bracket where the locking structure is arranged.
[0007] In an embodiment of the present application, the locking structure comprises a plurality of buckles arranged circumferentially on the mounting bracket, and the mounting bracket is provided with a clearance slot opposite the buckles.
[0008] In an embodiment of the present application, the connecting assembly is provided with a plurality of circumferentially arranged connecting assemblies on the mounting bracket, and the circumferences formed by the plurality of connecting assemblies are coaxially arranged with the circumference formed by the plurality of buckles and the plurality of connecting assemblies are arranged inside the circumference formed by the plurality of buckles.
[0009] In one embodiment of this application, the connection structure includes a positive electrode connector and a negative electrode connector, both of which are annular, and the positive electrode connector and the negative electrode connector are coaxially spaced apart.
[0010] In one embodiment of this application, the mounting bracket has a mounting block protruding from the connecting assembly, the mounting block has a connecting groove facing the positive or negative electrode connector, and the side of the mounting bracket adjacent to the mounting block has a through hole facing the negative or positive electrode connector.
[0011] The connecting components are inserted into the connecting groove and the through hole.
[0012] In one embodiment of this application, the connecting assembly includes a first connector passing through a connecting groove and a second connector passing through a through hole;
[0013] The top of the mounting block is provided with a partition block, and the partition block and the connecting groove are clamped together to form a first connecting part for connecting with the first connecting member, and the partition block and the through hole are clamped together to form a second connecting part for connecting with the second connecting member.
[0014] In one embodiment of this application, the mounting bracket has a fixing hole on the side of the mounting block opposite to the through hole, and the fixing hole is connected to one side of the connecting component;
[0015] The second connector is wrapped around the mounting block, with one end connected to the through hole and the other end connected to the fixing hole.
[0016] In one embodiment of this application, a sealing assembly is provided between the outer shell and the bottom shell, and the sealing assembly surrounds the connecting cavity.
[0017] In one embodiment of this application, a rotating connector is provided on one side of the outer shell and the bottom shell, and an operating part is provided on the other side.
[0018] In one embodiment of this application, a locking component is provided between the outer shell and the bottom shell, and the locking component has a locking hole on the outer shell or the bottom shell.
[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, this utility model has the following advantages:
[0020] The protective mechanism of this application is mainly used to store and protect the anti-loss device. At the same time, it replaces the button battery in the anti-loss device with a shorter lifespan by using a more easily replaceable universal battery with a stable lifespan, such as a AA battery or a AAA battery. This can give the anti-loss device a longer service life, better protection, and stable operation.
[0021] The protective mechanism itself consists of a bottom shell and an outer shell, which are detachably connected. Between the bottom shell and the outer shell is a connecting cavity for housing the battery and the anti-loss device. A partition runs through the connecting cavity, dividing it into a battery compartment for installing the battery and a mounting cavity for installing the anti-loss device. A mounting bracket within the mounting cavity further divides it into upper and lower spaces. The lower space is used for conductive structures such as wires to run through the battery compartment, providing a stable power supply to the anti-loss device. The mounting bracket has connecting structures facing these conductive structures. On the end of the mounting bracket facing away from the conductive structures, there is a locking structure for securing the anti-loss device. This locking structure allows the anti-loss device to be stably fixed to the mounting bracket. Simultaneously, on the same end face as the locking structure, there is a connecting component connecting to the positive and negative terminals of the connecting structure. These structures work together to easily fix the anti-loss device to the mounting bracket, ensuring stable electrical connections and preventing poor contact. Furthermore, with this structure, the anti-loss device remains stable when the user opens the outer shell to replace the battery, preventing damage caused by the device detaching during the opening process.
[0022] Different battery specifications can be achieved simply by changing the size of the outer and bottom shells and altering the size of the battery compartment. This structure enables the anti-loss device to operate stably in real time, ensuring a positive user experience. Attached Figure Description

[0030] The realization of the purpose, functional features and advantages of this utility model will be further explained in conjunction with the embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. Detailed Implementation
[0031] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.
[0032] Reference Figures 1 to 4 To achieve the above objectives, this utility model proposes a power supply protection mechanism for an anti-loss device, characterized in that it includes a bottom shell 1 and an outer shell 11 detachably connected to the bottom shell 1. A connecting cavity 2 is provided between the bottom shell 1 and the outer shell 11, and a partition 21 is provided opposite to the connecting cavity 2. A battery compartment 22 is provided on one side of the connecting cavity 2 opposite to the partition 21, and an installation cavity 23 for connecting with the anti-loss device is provided on the other side.
[0033] The mounting cavity 23 is provided with a mounting bracket 3. The mounting bracket 3 has a locking structure 4 for connecting with the anti-loss device on the side facing the outer shell 11. The mounting bracket 3 has a connecting structure 5 for connecting with the battery compartment 22 on the side facing the bottom shell 1. The end face of the connecting structure 5 facing the mounting bracket 3 with the locking structure 4 has a connecting component 6.
[0034] The protective mechanism of this application is mainly used to store and protect the anti-loss device. At the same time, it replaces the button battery in the anti-loss device with a shorter lifespan by using a more easily replaceable universal battery with a stable lifespan, such as a AA battery or a AAA battery. This can give the anti-loss device a longer service life, better protection, and stable operation.
[0035] The protective mechanism itself consists of a bottom shell 1 and an outer shell 11, which are detachably connected. Between the bottom shell 1 and the outer shell 11 is a connecting cavity 2 for housing the battery and the anti-loss device. A partition 21 passes through the connecting cavity 2, dividing it into a battery compartment 22 for installing the battery and a mounting cavity 23 for installing the anti-loss device. A mounting bracket 3 is provided within the mounting cavity 23 to divide it into upper and lower spaces. The lower space is used for conductive structures such as wires to pass through the battery compartment 22, providing a stable power supply to the anti-loss device. The mounting bracket 3 is positioned facing these conductive structures. The mounting bracket 3 has a locking structure 4 for fixing the anti-loss device on the end face away from the conductive structure 5. The locking structure 4 can be used to fix the anti-loss device stably on the mounting bracket 3. At the same time, a connecting component 6 connected to the positive and negative terminals of the connecting structure 5 is provided on the same end face where the locking structure 4 is provided. With the cooperation of the above structures, the anti-loss device can be easily fixed on the mounting bracket 3, ensuring the stability of the electrical connection and preventing poor contact. At the same time, with this structure, the anti-loss device can remain stable when the user opens the outer shell 11 to replace the battery, which can avoid damage caused by the anti-loss device falling off during the opening process.
[0036] Different battery specifications can be achieved simply by changing the dimensions of the outer shell 11 and the bottom shell 1, and altering the size of the battery compartment 22. This structure enables the anti-loss device to operate stably in real time, ensuring a good user experience.
[0037] See also Figures 2 to 4 The locking structure 4 includes multiple circumferentially arrayed buckles on the mounting bracket 3, and the mounting bracket 3 is provided with clearance grooves relative to the buckles.
[0038] Since the anti-loss device used in this application for installing protective power supply is Apple's AirTag, the structure of this anti-loss device itself is ellipsoidal, and its main body and bottom shell 1 are locked by a buckle structure, setting buckles on the mounting bracket 3 can enable the anti-loss device to be connected and rotated to lock, achieving a quick fixation effect.
[0039] See also Figures 3 to 4 Multiple connecting components 6 are provided, and the multiple connecting components 6 are arranged circumferentially on the mounting frame 3. The circumference formed by the multiple connecting components 6 is coaxially arranged with the circumference formed by the multiple buckles, and the multiple connecting components 6 are located within the circumference formed by the multiple buckles.
[0040] By setting multiple connecting components 6, the power-on pins inside the anti-loss device do not need to be repeatedly aligned during installation. Once the anti-loss device is locked in place by the clips, the pins inside the anti-loss device can automatically connect to the connecting components 6 to achieve the power-on effect. The multiple connecting components 6 are located in multiple clips, which is not only a structural requirement but also protects the connecting components 6 and improves the service life of the entire structure.
[0041] See also Figures 2 to 3 The connection structure 5 includes a positive electrode connector 51 and a negative electrode connector 52, both of which are annular in structure, and the positive electrode connector 51 and the negative electrode connector 52 are coaxially spaced apart.
[0042] The connection structure 5 consists of two rings with different radii, which facilitates the connection of the conductive structure led out from the battery compartment 22 and ensures the connection effect with the battery.
[0043] Both the positive electrode connector 51 and the negative electrode connector 52 are a complete ring structure, which can stably connect the positive and negative electrodes of multiple connecting components 6, ensuring the stability of the charging state.
[0044] See also Figure 3 The mounting bracket 3 has a mounting block 31 protruding from the connecting component 6. The mounting block 31 has a connecting groove 33 facing the positive electrode connector 51 or the negative electrode connector 52. The mounting bracket 3 has a through hole 34 on the side near the mounting block 31 facing the negative electrode connector 52 or the positive electrode connector 51.
[0045] The connecting component 6 passes through the connecting groove 33 and the through hole 34.
[0046] The mounting bracket 3 has a protruding mounting block 31 for mounting the connecting component 6. The connecting groove 33 is directly set to correspond to the positive terminal connector 51 or the negative terminal connector 52. The mounting bracket 3 has a through hole 34 on one side of the mounting block 31. The connecting component 6 can be quickly installed through the mounting bracket 3, so that the pins on the connecting component 6 can be stably connected to the negative terminal connector 52 or the positive terminal connector 51, ensuring the structural stability of the entire protection mechanism.
[0047] See also Figure 3 The connecting component 6 includes a first connecting member 61 passing through the connecting groove 33 and a second connecting member 62 passing through the through hole 34;
[0048] The top of the mounting block 31 is provided with a partition block 32. The partition block 32 and the connecting groove 33 are clamped together to form a first connecting part for connecting with the first connector 61. The partition block 32 and the through hole 34 are clamped together to form a second connecting part for connecting with the second connector 62.
[0049] The connecting component 6 protects the first connector 61 and the second connector 62. The top of the mounting block 31 is provided with a partition block 32. The partition block 32 and the connecting groove 33 can be clamped together to form a first connecting part with an approximately T-shaped structure, which allows the first connector 61 to be quickly fixed at the first connecting part. Similarly, the partition block 32 and the through hole 34 are clamped together to form a second connecting part. The second connector 62 can be fitted onto the outer periphery of the mounting block 31 to ensure that the entire connecting component 6 can be stably fixed.
[0050] See alsoFigure 3 The mounting bracket 3 has a fixing hole 35 on the side of the mounting block 31 that is away from the through hole 34. The fixing hole 35 is connected to one side of the connecting component 6.
[0051] The second connector 62 is wrapped around the mounting block 31. One end of the second connector 62 is connected to the through hole 34, and the other end is connected to the fixing hole 35.
[0052] The fixing hole 35 is located on the side of the mounting block 31 opposite to the through hole 34, so that the second connector 62 can be inserted into the through hole 34 on one side and connected to the positive / negative connector 52, while the other side is inserted into the fixing hole 35, which is used to ensure the stability of the entire connector connection.
[0053] See also Figures 1 to 4 A sealing component 12 is provided between the outer shell 11 and the bottom shell 1, and the sealing component 12 is wrapped around the connecting cavity 2.
[0054] The sealing assembly 12 can be a sealing protrusion and a sealing groove that surround the mounting cavity 23. The two are respectively located in the outer shell 11 and the bottom shell 1. When the outer shell 11 and the bottom shell 1 are closed, the sealing protrusion abuts against the sealing groove and can cover the connecting cavity 2, which can effectively improve the overall protection effect.
[0055] See also Figures 1 to 4 The outer shell 11 and the bottom shell 1 are provided with a rotating connector 8 on one side and an operating part 9 on the other side.
[0056] The outer shell 11 and the bottom shell 1 are connected by a rotating connector 8. The operating part 9 is a protrusion protruding outward from the outer shell 11 or the bottom shell 1, which makes it easy for the user to operate and can quickly separate the two shells.
[0057] See also Figures 1 to 4 A locking component 7 is provided between the outer shell 11 and the bottom shell 1, and the locking component 7 has a locking hole on the outer shell 11 or the bottom shell 1.
[0058] The outer shell 11 and the bottom shell 1 are provided with locking components 7. After the anti-loss device is placed, the outer shell 11 is fastened to the bottom shell 1 and the outer screw passes through the locking hole, so that the outer shell 11 and the bottom shell 1 can be completely locked by the locking components 7, which can further improve the protection effect of the anti-loss device and prevent the anti-loss device from falling out.
