Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sealing device technology, specifically a vehicle license plate anti-theft sealing device. Background Technology
[0002] In today's traffic management, vehicle license plates are an important identifier for vehicles, and their secure installation and anti-theft protection are crucial. Traditional vehicle license plate fixing devices have revealed many problems in actual use.
[0003] In existing technologies, the anti-theft performance of vehicle license plates is inadequate. The existing fixing devices have simple structures, usually just simple bolts and nuts, which can be easily disassembled by criminals using tools, leading to the theft or loss of vehicle license plates. This not only causes many inconveniences for vehicle owners, such as cumbersome procedures for replacing license plates and affecting the normal use of vehicles, but may also lead to traffic violations and other safety hazards such as misuse of license plates, disrupting normal traffic order. Secondly, vehicles face various complex road conditions during driving, and continuous vibrations can easily loosen the bolts fixing the license plates. Once the bolts loosen, the license plates may shake or fall off, affecting not only the identification of the license plates, but also posing a safety threat to other vehicles and pedestrians. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a vehicle license plate anti-theft sealing device, which solves the problem of poor anti-theft performance of vehicle license plates.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a vehicle license plate anti-theft fixing device. It includes: a fixing bolt made of medium carbon steel, with grooves arranged in a circular array on the outer wall of the fixing bolt; a fixing device threadedly connected to the fixing bolt; the fixing device includes a fixing nut; a latch rotatably connected to the inner wall of the fixing nut; and a return spring fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixing nut. The side of the return spring away from the fixing nut is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the latch, allowing the latch to return to its original position.
[0006] Preferably, the fixing nut is engaged with the fixing bolt. The fixing nut is made of medium carbon steel. A protective washer is fitted on the outside of the fixing bolt. A snap ring is engaged on the inner wall of the protective washer. A protective cover is fixedly connected to the top of the snap ring. A compression spring is provided on the top of the fixing bolt. The top of the compression spring is fixedly connected to the bottom of the protective cover. The position of the protective washer is restricted by the fixing bolt.
[0007] Preferably, the fixing device is fitted with a protective retaining ring on the outside, the outer wall of the fixing bolt engages with the vehicle license plate, the outer wall of the fixing bolt engages with the license plate mounting plate, and the outer wall of the retaining tongue engages with the groove of the fixing bolt. The position of the protective retaining ring is restricted by the license plate mounting plate and the fixing device.
[0008] This utility model provides an anti-theft and securing device for motor vehicle license plates. It has the following beneficial effects: (i) The anti-theft sealing device for motor vehicle license plates, by setting a fixing device, the latch connected to the inner wall of the fixing nut is engaged with the groove of the outer wall of the fixing bolt in a circular array. The latch adopts a bevel design, so that the fixing bolt can only rotate in the forward direction and cannot be rotated in the reverse direction to remove it, effectively preventing the license plate from being easily disassembled and playing an anti-theft role.
[0009] (ii) The anti-theft fixing device for motor vehicle license plates, by setting a compression spring, the compression spring set on the top of the fixing bolt plays a buffering role in the high vibration environment of motor vehicle operation, effectively reducing the impact of vehicle driving vibration on the fixing bolt, making the fixing bolt less prone to loosening.

[0012] The technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0013] Please see Figure 1-6This utility model provides a technical solution: a motor vehicle license plate anti-theft fixing device, comprising: a fixing bolt 1, the fixing bolt 1 being made of medium carbon steel, the outer wall of the fixing bolt 1 having grooves arranged in a circumferential array; a fixing device 2, the fixing device 2 being threadedly connected to the fixing bolt 1; the fixing device 2 including a fixing nut 21, the inner wall of the fixing nut 21 being rotatably connected to a latch 22; a return spring 23 being fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixing nut 21, the side of the return spring 23 away from the fixing nut 21 being fixedly connected to the outer wall of the latch 22; since the fixing bolt 1 is made of medium carbon steel, which has good structural strength and hardness, the structural strength of the fixing bolt 1 is guaranteed.
[0014] The fixing nut 21 is engaged with the fixing bolt 1. The fixing nut 21 is made of medium carbon steel. The fixing bolt 1 is fitted with a protective washer 6. A retaining ring 5 is engaged with the inner wall of the protective washer 6. A protective cover 4 is fixedly connected to the top of the retaining ring 5. A compression spring 7 is provided on the top of the fixing bolt 1. The top of the compression spring 7 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the protective cover 4. The compression spring 7 plays a buffering role in the high vibration environment of the motor vehicle operation, making the fixing bolt 1 less prone to loosening.
[0015] The outer side of the fixing device 2 is fitted with a protective retaining ring 3. The outer wall of the fixing bolt 1 is engaged with the vehicle license plate 8 and the outer wall of the fixing bolt 1 is engaged with the license plate mounting plate 9. The outer wall of the retaining tongue 22 is engaged with the groove of the fixing bolt 1. The retaining tongue 22 is engaged with the groove of the fixing bolt 1. At the same time, because the retaining tongue 22 adopts a bevel design, the fixing bolt 1 can only rotate in the forward direction.
[0016] When using it, first, put the protective washer 6 onto the fixing bolt 1. The function of the protective washer 6 is to protect the top of the fixing bolt 1 when it is used with other components.
[0017] Next, insert the fixing bolt 1 into the vehicle license plate 8 and the license plate mounting plate 9 in sequence. This step is to make a preliminary connection between the vehicle license plate 8 and the mounting part of the vehicle, laying the foundation for the subsequent tightening operation.
[0018] Subsequently, the protective retaining ring 3 is put into the fixing device 2. The protective retaining ring 3 mainly serves to protect the fixing nut 21 and provides a certain degree of protection for the fixing device 2.
[0019] Next, the fixing device 2 with the protective retaining ring 3 is tightened to the fixing bolt 1. During the tightening process, the return spring 23 will push the latch 22 to lock into the grooves arranged in a circumferential array on the outer wall of the fixing bolt 1. It is worth mentioning that the latch 22 adopts a beveled design, which makes the fixing bolt 1 only able to rotate inward and not outward, thus playing a certain role in preventing theft.
[0020] Finally, the protective cover 4, which is fixedly connected to the snap ring 5 and the compression spring 7, is snapped into the protective washer 6. Because the snap ring 5 is engaged with the protective washer 6, the top of the fixing bolt 1 is not easily opened, further enhancing the anti-theft performance. At the same time, the compression spring 7 can play a shock-absorbing role, preventing the bolt from loosening due to vibrations during vehicle operation.
