Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of valve anti-theft equipment technology, and in particular to an intelligent anti-theft cap. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional anti-theft caps generally employ a purely mechanical design, which has significant drawbacks. Firstly, the lack of unique electronic identification and digital management methods makes them easily counterfeited and replaced, failing to achieve precise traceability with a unique code for each item. Manual recording methods are inefficient, and in scenarios such as petroleum and chemical industries where a large number of valves need centralized management, it is difficult to monitor the status of the anti-theft caps in real time, creating vulnerabilities in equipment security management. Secondly, the mechanical anti-theft structure lacks reliability: when the lead seal or outer shell is tampered with, traditional anti-theft caps can be reinstalled and reused, failing to effectively prevent unauthorized valve opening. Such unauthorized opening operations may cause media leakage, metering errors, or even safety accidents, but current technology cannot actively trigger the anti-theft mechanism or retain evidence of tampering.

[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need for an intelligent anti-theft solution that integrates electronic identification and mechanical self-destruction functions to fundamentally solve the problems of counterfeiting risk and reuse. Utility Model Content

[0004] The main objective of this invention is to provide an intelligent anti-theft cap to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A smart anti-theft cap includes a shell with an opening at the bottom. A fixing plate is snapped onto the top of the inner cavity of the shell. A coil mounting slot is formed on the upper part of the fixing plate, and an IC coil is installed in the coil mounting slot. A first through hole and a second through hole are formed on the left and right sides of the bottom of the fixing plate, respectively. A short-circuit structure corresponding to the first through hole is provided on the left side of the IC coil, and a vertical pin is provided on the right side of the IC coil, the pin passing through the second through hole. A telescopic insert that can slide up and down is provided at the bottom of the inner cavity of the shell. The telescopic insert includes a base plate and a check pin hole and a pin set on the base plate. The check pin hole cooperates with the pin, and the pin corresponds to the first through hole. A vertical spring is snapped onto the upper end of the telescopic insert, and the upper end of the spring abuts against the lower end of the fixing plate.

[0007] Furthermore, the inner wall of the outer casing is provided with a vertical groove, and an upper limit block and a lower limit block are respectively provided at the top and bottom of the groove.

[0008] Furthermore, an upper locking block is provided along the edge of the fixed plate, which cooperates with the upper limit block on the same side. A lower locking block is provided along the edge of the bottom plate of the telescopic insert, which cooperates with the lower limit block on the same side.

[0009] Furthermore, a wire lead seal is provided on one side of the outer casing.

[0010] Furthermore, the check pin hole has a petal-shaped snap-fit ​​structure.

[0011] Furthermore, the first through hole is circular, and the diameter of the first through hole is larger than the working end of the pin; the second through hole is rectangular.

[0012] Furthermore, a spring holder is provided on the base plate, and the lower end of the spring is engaged with the spring holder.

[0013] This invention also includes other components that enable the smart anti-theft cap to function properly, and these devices or components all employ conventional techniques in the art. Furthermore, devices and components not limited in this invention all employ conventional techniques in the art, such as the springs mentioned in this application. In specific implementation, appropriate device or component models can be selected according to the specific working scenario.

[0014] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: During installation, the opening of the outer casing is pressed down on the valve, pushing the telescopic insert upwards. The pin passes through the first through hole of the fixing plate, cutting the short-circuit structure of the IC coil and activating the IC coil; simultaneously, the pin is inserted into the check pin hole of the telescopic insert to lock in position, and then the outer casing is fixed with a steel wire seal. Information can be bound to the platform by scanning the IC coil with a mobile app.

[0015] When the wire seal is broken, the spring pushes the telescopic insert downwards to reset, causing the pin to move downwards and sever the IC coil, rendering it permanently disabled. Even if reinstalled, the damaged IC coil will prevent identification, thus achieving the anti-theft function.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. Unique and Traceable Management: A unique electronic identifier is bound to an IC coil to achieve platform-based supervision of "one item, one code";

[0018] 2. Damage equals failure: When illegally disassembled, the pin automatically cuts the IC coil, and the physical damage is irreversible;

[0019] 3. Strong anti-counterfeiting and anti-theft features: The mechanical structure and electronic identification are linked to prevent counterfeiting and reuse. Attached Figure Description

[0026] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0027] Example:

[0028] like Figures 1-5 As shown, a smart anti-theft cap includes a shell 1 with an opening 11 at the bottom. A fixing plate 4 is snapped onto the top of the inner cavity of the shell 1. A coil mounting groove 41 is provided on the upper part of the fixing plate 4, and an IC coil 2 is installed in the coil mounting groove 41. A first through hole 42 and a second through hole 43 are respectively provided on the left and right sides of the bottom of the fixing plate 4. A short-circuit structure corresponding to the first through hole 42 is provided on the left side of the IC coil 2, and a vertical pin 3 is provided on the right side of the IC coil 2, which passes through the second through hole 43. A telescopic insert 6 that can slide up and down is provided at the bottom of the inner cavity of the shell 1. The telescopic insert 6 includes a base plate 61 and a check pin hole 62 and a pin 63 provided on the base plate 61. The check pin hole 62 cooperates with the pin 3, and the pin 63 corresponds to the first through hole 42. A vertical spring 5 is snapped onto the upper end of the telescopic insert 6, and the upper end of the spring 5 abuts against the lower end of the fixing plate 4.

[0029] Additionally, a wire seal 7 is provided on one side of the outer casing 1. A vertical groove 12 is provided on the inner wall of the outer casing 1, with an upper limit block 13 and a lower limit block 14 at the top and bottom of the groove 12, respectively. An upper locking block 44 is provided along the edge of the fixing plate 4, which engages with the upper limit block 13 on the same side. A lower locking block 64 is provided along the edge of the bottom plate 61 of the telescopic insert 6, which engages with the lower limit block 14 on the same side. A spring retainer 65 is provided on the bottom plate 61, and the lower end of the spring 5 engages with the spring retainer 65.

[0030] Specifically, the first through hole 42 is circular, and its diameter is larger than that of the working end of the pin 63; the second through hole 43 is rectangular. The check pin hole 62 has a petal-shaped snap-fit ​​structure. The spring 5 is a compression spring.

[0031] The working principle of this intelligent anti-theft cap is as follows: During installation, the opening 11 of the outer shell 1 is pressed down on the valve, pushing the telescopic insert 6 upward. The pin 63 passes through the first through hole 42 of the fixing plate 4, cutting the short circuit structure of the IC coil 2, thus activating the IC coil 2; simultaneously, the pin 3 is inserted into the check pin hole 62 of the telescopic insert 6 to lock the position, and then the outer shell 1 is fixed with a wire seal 7. The information can be bound to the platform by scanning the IC coil 2 with a mobile app.

[0032] When the wire seal 7 is broken, the spring 5 pushes the telescopic insert 6 downwards to reset, causing the pin 3 to move downwards and sever the IC coil 2, rendering it permanently inoperable. Even if reinstalled, the damaged IC coil 2 will prevent identification, thus achieving the anti-theft function.

[0033] The above embodiments are merely descriptions of preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of the present utility model. Various modifications and improvements made to the technical solutions of the present utility model by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the present utility model should fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
