Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of information protection technology, specifically to a security box and its outer shell, an FPC, and an electronic product having the security box. Background Technology

[0002] The secure box achieves its security function by attaching a FPC with internal security circuitry to the surface of the outer shell. When an outsider attempts to open the secure box to steal internal information, the security circuitry inside the FPC covering the secure box will break under external force, thereby severing the circuitry of the entire electronic product such as the card reader and preventing the theft of important information from the card reader and other electronic products.

[0003] like Figure 1 As shown, existing secure boxes have mounting posts inside the outer shell, with mounting holes within the posts. During assembly, the bottom surface of the mounting post abuts against electronic devices such as card readers, and screws are screwed into the mounting holes to attach the secure box to the device. Because the mounting post abuts against and assembles with the device, an FPC (Flexible Printed Circuit) must also be adhered to the surface of the mounting post. Alternative clearance holes are provided on the FPC corresponding to the mounting holes to prevent damage to the FPC circuitry from the screws. In existing technology, the FPC body is typically adhered to the surface of the outer shell, and a covered section is bent into the FPC. This covered section is adhered to the bottom surface of the mounting post to provide security protection for the bottom surface of the mounting post. Figures 2 to 4 As shown, due to the significant springback force of the FPC cover section after bending, and the small contact area between the bottom surface of the mounting post and the FPC cover section, even with adhesive backing, the FPC cover section is still prone to separation from the bottom surface of the mounting post due to the springback force generated by bending over a long period of time. This results in problems such as arching in the middle and curling at the edges, preventing complete coverage of the outer shell surface and hindering the effective protection of the security circuitry within the PFC box. Furthermore, as... Figure 3 As shown, during the FPC pasting process, the FPC cover section cannot be reliably positioned, and the FPC clearance hole is easily misaligned if not handled carefully. Since there are security lines around the FPC clearance hole, when screwing screws to fix electronic products such as security boxes and card readers, the screws can easily damage the security lines around the FPC clearance hole, causing the FPC's security and confidentiality protection function to fail. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to at least solve one of the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a security box that ensures that the FPC can completely cover the surface of the outer shell, thereby improving the security performance of the security box.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: A security box includes an outer shell and an FPC. The outer shell is provided with a mounting post, and the inner sidewall of the outer shell and the mounting post have a buffer groove recessed in a first direction.

During assembly, the buffer section of the FPC is embedded in the buffer groove, and then the covering section of the FPC is pasted to the bottom surface of the mounting post. Under the cooperation and buffering effect of the buffer groove and the buffer section, the covering section of the FPC is not prone to arching in the middle or lifting at the edges, thereby ensuring that the FPC can completely cover the surface of the outer shell, playing a role in signal security protection inside the secure box, and improving the security protection performance and service life of the secure box.

[0007] The aforementioned security box has an installation hole on the mounting post, and a positioning post on the bottom surface of the mounting post away from the buffer groove. The covering section has a clearance hole corresponding to the mounting hole and a positioning hole corresponding to the positioning post.

[0008] The aforementioned security box has a filling section on the side of the mounting post away from the buffer groove, the side of the filling section away from the buffer groove is a plane, and the positioning post is located on the bottom surface of the filling section.

[0009] In the aforementioned security box, an extension section connects the inner sidewall of the outer shell to the mounting post, and the buffer groove is formed in the extension section.

[0010] In the aforementioned security box, the space between the buffer section and the buffer groove is filled with adhesive.

[0011] In the aforementioned secure box, both sides of the buffer groove are inclined, each side wall is inclined towards the other side wall along a first direction, and there is an arc-shaped transition surface between the side wall and the bottom wall of the buffer groove.

[0012] The aforementioned security box has an arc-shaped transition surface between the buffer groove and the inner wall of the outer shell, as well as between the buffer groove and the mounting post.

Detailed Implementation

[0018] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below.

[0019] Example 1 Reference Figures 5 to 9Embodiment 1 of this utility model provides a security box, including a shell 100 and an FPC 200. The FPC 200 is attached to the surface of the shell 100. Specifically, the FPC 200 is attached to the outer surface and inner sidewall 130 of the shell 100 to protect key components and circuit boards inside the shell 100. When an outsider attempts to open the shell 100 to steal internal information, the security circuit covering the shell 100 will break, thereby cutting off the circuit of electronic products such as card readers and preventing internal information from being stolen by the outsider.

[0020] Furthermore, a mounting post 110 is provided inside the outer casing 100 near the inner sidewall 130. The number of mounting posts 110 is unlimited and can be set according to actual needs. The mounting post 110 has a mounting hole 111. An extension section 120 connects the inner sidewall 130 of the outer casing 100 and the mounting post 110. The bottom of the extension section 120 is connected to the inner top wall 140 of the outer casing 100, and the two sides of the extension section 120 are respectively connected to the inner sidewall 130 of the outer casing 100 and the mounting post 110. A buffer groove 121 is provided on the extension section 120, which is recessed in a first direction, wherein the first direction is from the bottom surface of the mounting post 110 toward the inner top wall 140 of the outer casing 100. The FPC200 includes an FPC body 210, a buffer section 220 connected to the FPC body 210, and a cover section 230 connected to the buffer section 220. The buffer section 220 is recessed in a first direction, and the cover section 230 has a clearance hole 231 corresponding to the mounting hole 111. During assembly, the FPC body 210 is attached to the surface of the housing 100, and the buffer section 220 is embedded in the buffer groove 121, which may or may not contact the side wall of the buffer groove 121. The cover section 230 is attached to the bottom surface of the mounting post 110, and the clearance hole 231 on the cover section 230 is aligned with the mounting hole 111 on the mounting post 110. Screws are used to pass through the mounting hole 111 and the clearance hole 231 to assemble the security box onto electronic products such as card readers. When an external party attempts to remove the outer casing 100 by unscrewing the screws, the FPC 200 at this location will also disconnect, thereby cutting off the circuitry of electronic products such as card readers and preventing internal information from being stolen. It should be noted that the terms "side wall," "top wall," and "bottom wall" used in this invention refer only to directions for clarity of description and do not imply that the security box of this invention must be installed and used in a specific manner.

[0021] This secure enclosure has a recessed buffer groove 121 facing a first direction between the inner wall 130 of the outer shell 100 and the mounting post 110. A corresponding buffer section 220 is provided on the FPC 200. During assembly, the buffer section 220 of the FPC 200 is embedded in the buffer groove 121, and then the covering section 230 of the FPC 200 is attached to the bottom surface of the mounting post 110. The buffer section 220 buffers and absorbs bending rebound force. Simultaneously, the buffer groove 121 provides clearance and limits for the buffer section 220, further ensuring its buffering effect. With the combined limiting and buffering effects of the buffer groove 121 and the buffer section 220, the covering section 230 of the FPC 200 is less prone to bulging in the middle or warping at the edges, thus ensuring that the FPC 200 completely covers the surface of the outer shell 100, providing signal security protection for the interior of the secure enclosure and improving its security performance and service life.

[0022] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, it is evident that in the prior art, the side of the mounting post near the inner side of the housing is curved, and the outer diameter of the mounting post is similar to the outer diameter of the FPC cover section, resulting in a small contact area between the FPC cover section and the bottom surface of the mounting post. In contrast, in this invention, referring to... Figures 5 to 7 Based on the existing mounting post, a filling section 113 is provided on the side of the mounting post 110 away from the buffer groove 121. The side of the filling section 113 away from the buffer groove 121 is flat, which means that the original arc-shaped side of the mounting post is filled and expanded, increasing the bottom area of ​​the mounting post 110, thereby increasing the contact area between the cover section 230 and the bottom surface of the mounting post 110. At the same time, a positioning post 112 is provided on the bottom surface of the mounting post 110 away from the buffer groove 121, and a positioning hole 232 corresponding to the positioning post 112 is provided on the cover section 230. During assembly, the positioning hole 232 is fitted onto the positioning post 112, so that the cover section 230 can be reliably positioned. The clearance hole 231 on the cover section 230 can be perfectly aligned with the mounting hole 111 on the positioning post 112, thereby avoiding the situation where the clearance hole 231 is misaligned, which could cause the screw to damage the safety circuit next to the clearance hole 231, thus ensuring the security performance of the security box. Furthermore, since the positioning post 112 is located on the bottom surface of the mounting post 110 away from the buffer groove 121, it means that both sides of the covering section 230 can be positioned, and the buffer section 220 can provide the covering section 230 with a pulling force in the first direction. Through the positioning and limiting on both sides, it can be further ensured that the covering section 230 can be completely attached to the bottom surface of the mounting post 110, and there will be no situation of arching in the middle or lifting at the edges.

[0023] Furthermore, referring to Figure 7 and Figure 9When the buffer section 220 is embedded in the buffer groove 121, the bottom of the buffer section 220 is suspended and does not contact the bottom surface of the buffer groove 121. The buffer section 220 is not adhesive-backed; instead, a fixing adhesive 300 is filled between the buffer section 220 and the buffer groove 121. The fixing adhesive 300 ensures that the buffer section 220 remains concave and provides a certain cushioning effect. Except for the buffer section 220, all other parts of the FPC 200 are adhesive-backed. After adhesive backing, the FPC 200 can be adhered to the surface of the outer shell 100, serving to protect the internal space of the security box.

[0024] Furthermore, both side walls of the buffer groove 121 are inclined surfaces, with each side wall tilting towards the other side wall along a first direction, and an arc-shaped transition surface between the side wall and the bottom wall of the buffer groove 121. The two opposing inclined side walls facilitate the embedding of the buffer section 220 and also provide a limiting surface for the buffer section 220. The bottom surface of the buffer groove 121 near the buffer section 220 can be either flat or curved. There are arc-shaped transition surfaces between the buffer groove 121 and the inner side wall 130 of the outer shell 100, and between the buffer groove 121 and the mounting post 110, to facilitate the embedding of the buffer section 220 within the buffer groove 121.

[0025] Example 2 Embodiment 2 of this utility model discloses a casing 100 for a security box, which adopts the casing 100 of the security box in Embodiment 1 above. Specifically, refer to... Figure 5 The outer casing 100 contains a mounting post 110 with mounting holes 111. An extension section 120 is provided between the mounting post 110 and the inner wall 130 of the outer casing 100. A buffer groove 121 recessed in a first direction is provided on the extension section 120. The first direction is from the bottom surface of the mounting post 110 towards the inner top wall 140 of the outer casing 100. Furthermore, both sides of the buffer groove 121 are inclined surfaces, each side wall sloping towards the other side wall along the first direction, and there is an arc-shaped transition surface between the side wall and the bottom wall of the buffer groove 121. The bottom surface of the buffer groove 121 near the buffer section 220 can be either flat or curved. Arc-shaped transition surfaces are present between the buffer groove 121 and the inner wall 130 of the outer casing 100, and between the buffer groove 121 and the mounting post 110. Furthermore, a filling section 113 is provided on the side of the mounting post 110 away from the buffer groove 121, and the side of the filling section 113 away from the buffer groove 121 is flat. A positioning post 112 is provided on the bottom surface of the mounting post 110 away from the buffer groove 121.

[0026] Example 3 Embodiment 3 of this utility model discloses an FPC200 for a security box, which adopts the FPC200 in the security box described in Embodiment 1 above. Specifically, refer to... Figures 5 to 9The FPC200 includes an FPC body 210, a buffer section 220 connected to the FPC body 210, and a cover section 230 connected to the buffer section 220. The buffer section 220 is recessed in a first direction. The cover section 230 has a clearance hole 231 corresponding to the mounting hole 111 and a positioning hole 232 corresponding to the positioning post 112. On the side of the cover section 230 away from the buffer section 220, there is an expanding section 233 corresponding to the filling section 113 on the positioning post 112. The shape of the expanding section 233 corresponds to the shape of the bottom surface of the filling section 113, so that the cover section 230 can completely fit the bottom surface of the mounting post 110. Specifically, the positioning hole 232 is formed on the expanding section 233.
