Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of locator technology, specifically a vehicle locator. Background Technology

[0002] A vehicle locator is an electronic device that uses specific technologies to track, monitor, and manage the location of a vehicle in real time. It is widely used in scenarios such as vehicle anti-theft, logistics scheduling, and personal vehicle monitoring. Its core function is to use positioning technology to obtain the geographical location information of the vehicle and transmit the information to a management platform or user terminal through communication technology, thereby realizing remote monitoring and management of the vehicle.

[0003] Traditional GPS trackers rely solely on magnetic adhesion or double-sided adhesive for fixation. Magnetic adhesion only works on metal surfaces (such as iron and steel) and is completely ineffective on non-metallic carriers (plastics), making them unsuitable for common scenarios like plastic vehicle frames. Double-sided adhesive is the only option, but it requires a clean, dry, and smooth surface. Dust or oil will drastically reduce adhesion, causing the tracker to detach quickly. Long-term use also leads to aging, with the adhesive layer gradually losing its stickiness under humidity changes. Furthermore, once applied, removal requires forceful tearing, which can leave adhesive residue on the carrier surface, or even peel off the paint and damage the material. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a vehicle locator that solves the problems mentioned in the background section.

[0006] (II) Technical Solution

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: a vehicle locator, comprising a locator body, two connecting blocks fixedly installed on the side wall of the locator body, and a turntable rotatably disposed between the two connecting blocks via a rotating shaft. A plurality of magnets are fixedly connected to one side wall of the turntable, and a groove is provided on the opposite side wall of the turntable. Straps are fixedly connected to both ends of the groove.

[0008] Preferably, two symmetrically distributed supports are fixedly connected to the side wall of the positioner body, the two supports being distributed on both sides of the turntable, and the turntable and the supports being connected by bolts.

[0009] Preferably, the support has a through hole, and the turntable has two symmetrically distributed screw holes, through which the threaded end of the bolt passes and is threaded into the screw hole.

[0010] Preferably, a plurality of elastic limiting bands are fixedly connected between the inner walls of the groove, and the limiting bands are used to restrain the straps.

[0011] Preferably, the rotating shaft is fixed to the end of the turntable, a bearing is fixedly embedded inside the connecting block, and the other end of the rotating shaft is rotatably inserted into the inner ring of the bearing.

[0012] Preferably, the turntable is waist-shaped and has two opposing planar sidewalls.

[0013] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0014] This utility model provides a vehicle locator, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. In this utility model, a dual approach using magnets and straps is employed. The magnets are responsible for "adsorption and adhesion," enabling rapid fixation on metal carriers (such as car chassis or metal casings of equipment) through magnetic force. For non-metallic carriers that magnets cannot adhere to (such as plastic car frames), or for scenarios where the surface of the metal carrier is painted (resulting in magnetic attenuation), the straps apply continuous tension through wrapping, "forcibly fixing" the locator to the carrier, thus compensating for the magnet's dependence on the material. In other words, through the dual fixing method of "magnets + straps," different fixing methods can be selected according to the actual installation situation, significantly improving installation stability, scenario adaptability, and operational flexibility.

[0016] 2. In this utility model, the turntable is locked by screwing the bolt into the screw hole, making the turntable and the positioner a stable whole, thus ensuring the stability of the positioner body during installation. The bolt locking allows the turntable to be adjusted to the working state before installation and then fixed by tightening the bolt. This not only meets the angle requirements under different installation scenarios, but also allows for readjustment by loosening the bolt when adjustments are needed later (such as changing the installation position), thus balancing flexibility and stability.

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0025] Please see Figures 1 to 3 This utility model provides a technical solution: a vehicle locator, including a locator body 1, two connecting blocks 2 fixedly installed on the side wall of the locator body 1, and a turntable 3 rotatably disposed between the two connecting blocks 2 via a rotating shaft 4. A plurality of magnets 8 are fixedly connected to one side wall of the turntable 3, and a groove 302 is provided on the opposite side wall of the turntable 3. Straps 9 are fixedly connected to both sides of the groove 302.

[0026] Through the dual methods of magnet 8 and strap 9, magnet 8 is responsible for "adsorption and adhesion," which can quickly achieve fixation on metal carriers (such as car chassis and metal shells of equipment) through magnetic force. For non-metallic carriers (such as plastic car frames) that magnet 8 cannot adhere to, strap 9 applies continuous tension by wrapping around to "force fix" the locator body 1 to the carrier, making up for the dependence of magnet 8 on the material. In other words, through the dual fixing method of "magnet 8 and strap 9," different fixing methods can be selected according to the actual installation situation, which significantly improves the stability of installation, scene adaptability, and operational flexibility.

[0027] Multiple magnets 8 are linearly distributed, and the linearly distributed magnets 8 can match the contour of the metal carrier, so that each magnet 8 can make uniform contact with the carrier surface, forming an adsorption effect of "multi-point uniform force"; the adsorption needs can be met by a limited number (4-6) of magnets 8 along a straight line.

[0028] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 Two symmetrically distributed supports 5 are fixedly connected to the side wall of the positioner body 1. The two supports 5 are distributed on both sides of the turntable 3, and the turntable 3 and the supports 5 are connected by bolts 6.

[0029] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 The support 5 has a through hole 501, and the turntable 3 has two symmetrically distributed screw holes 301. The threaded end of the bolt 6 is passed through the through hole 501 and threaded into the screw hole 301.

[0030] By screwing the bolt 6 into the screw hole 301, the turntable 3 is locked, making the turntable 3 and the positioner body 1 a stable whole, thus ensuring the stability of the positioner body 1 during installation. The bolt 6 locking allows the turntable 3 to be adjusted to the working state (such as magnet 8 facing up or strap 9 facing up) before installation, and then the bolt 6 is tightened to complete the fixation. This not only meets the angle requirements under different installation scenarios, but also allows for readjustment by loosening the bolt 6 when adjustments are needed later (such as changing the installation position), thus balancing flexibility and stability.

[0031] Reference Figure 2 Multiple elastic limiting bands 7 are fixedly connected between the inner walls of the groove 302, and the limiting bands 7 are used to restrain the straps 9.

[0032] The strap 9 can be folded into multiple layers inside the groove 302, and the limiting band 7 uses elastic tension to "press" the folded strap 9 into the groove 302. The limiting band 7 fixes the strap 9 to prevent it from falling out of the groove 302, making the overall structure simpler.

[0033] The material of the limiting strap 7 can be rubber, which has excellent elasticity and can quickly rebound after stretching, and can closely fit the folded multi-layer strap 9.

[0034] In addition, the rotating shaft 4 is fixed to the end of the turntable 3, and a bearing is fixedly embedded inside the connecting block 2. The other end of the rotating shaft 4 is rotatably inserted into the inner ring of the bearing.

[0035] Without bearings, the rotating shaft 4 and the connecting block 2 would be in direct contact and rotate relative to each other. This would result in sliding friction, which is high and prone to severe wear. The bearing's inner ring is fixed to the rotating shaft 4, and its outer ring is fixed to the connecting block 2. Its precise structural design constrains the radial and axial displacement of the rotating shaft 4, preventing it from "wobbling," "offset," or "eccentricity" during rotation. In other words, the bearing is crucial for reducing wear on the rotating shaft 4 over extended periods and for constraining its movement; it also prevents the turntable 3 from loosening during use, ensuring the overall structural stability.

[0036] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 Turntable 3 is shaped like a waist and has two opposing planar side walls.

[0037] When a metal plate (such as the interior of a car or the inside of a metal shell of equipment) is used as a load-bearing base, if the connection between the metal plate and the turntable 3 is a planar structure, the contact area is significantly increased when the planar sidewall of the turntable 3 is in contact with it, compared with curved or irregular sides, resulting in a better fixing effect; when this device is fixed to a planar plastic frame, the planar contact area is also increased.

[0038] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely preferred examples and are not intended to limit the utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
