Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of car locators, and in particular to a GPS car locator with a buffer structure. Background Technology

[0002] GPS car trackers integrate GPS positioning, wireless communication, and data processing modules. They determine the vehicle's location by receiving satellite signals and transmit the data to the backend via the network. Users can track and view historical routes in real time through an app or computer. They also have functions such as overspeed alarms, electronic fences, and remote management. They are suitable for scenarios such as personal vehicle anti-theft, logistics fleet management, and rental vehicle supervision. Ordinary trackers are mostly suitable for cars and other vehicles with less vibration. However, heavy trucks and construction vehicles experience severe vibrations during driving, or continuous impacts during loading and unloading or on bumpy roads, which can easily cause the internal chips and wiring of ordinary devices to loosen or be damaged. In some scenarios, such as the supervision of mortgaged vehicles and rental vehicles, the tracker needs to be installed discreetly in the vehicle chassis, engine compartment, or near the wheel hub. These areas are prone to impacts from stones, high-pressure water jets from car washes, or collisions caused by vehicle repairs or bumps.

[0003] Existing patent CN215706190U discloses an easy-to-install GPS car locator, including a positioning box and a fixing component. The positioning box houses a GPS positioning module. The fixing component includes a positioning plate, a fixing member connecting the positioning plate, and a vacuum suction cup. The positioning plate includes a first connecting portion and a second connecting portion connected in an L-shape. The fixing member passes through the first connecting portion and connects to the side wall of the positioning box. The vacuum suction cup is mounted on the second connecting portion, with its suction end protruding from the bottom of the positioning box. This easy-to-install GPS car locator, with its fixing component comprising a positioning plate, a fixing member, and a vacuum suction cup, connects the positioning plate to the positioning box via the fixing member. The vacuum suction cup on the positioning plate allows the positioning box to be attached to any position on the car. The easy attachment of the vacuum suction cup facilitates installation and removal, solving the problem of inconvenient installation and removal.

[0004] Problems identified with existing technology: When a car is driving, such as on bumpy mountain roads, or during rapid acceleration / sudden braking, it will generate severe vibrations or inertial impacts. Traditional locators lack effective shock absorption structures, which can easily lead to loose solder joints on GPS positioning chips and poor circuit contact, causing positioning signal drift and data transmission interruption. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the above technical problems, the present invention provides a GPS car locator with a buffer structure, characterized in that it includes a fixing structure and a positioning installation structure, wherein the positioning installation structure is provided on the inner side of the fixing structure, and the fixing structure and the positioning installation structure are connected by bolts and nuts.

[0006] The fixing structure consists of an outer shell, fixing components, and rubber strips. The outer shell has fixing components on all four sides, and the outer shell and fixing components are connected by welding. Rubber strips are provided on all four sides of the outer shell. The outer shell is made of an alloy material with good heat dissipation.

[0007] The positioning and installation structure consists of a shock-absorbing base, a GPS vehicle positioning installation compartment, a GPS vehicle positioning chip, a battery installation chamber, a battery, and a charging plug. The GPS vehicle positioning installation compartment is located on one side of the shock-absorbing base, and the shock-absorbing base and the GPS vehicle positioning installation compartment are integrally formed. The GPS vehicle positioning chip is installed inside the GPS vehicle positioning installation compartment. The battery installation chamber is located above the GPS vehicle positioning installation compartment, and the GPS vehicle positioning installation compartment and the battery installation chamber are connected by bolts and nuts. The battery is installed inside the battery installation chamber, and a charging plug is located on one side of the battery. The output terminal of the battery is electrically connected to the GPS vehicle positioning chip. Several heat dissipation vents are provided on the side of the battery installation chamber, and wiring through holes are provided at the bottom of the battery installation chamber. A silicone gasket is provided above the shock-absorbing base. A waterproof sealing plug is provided on one side of the charging plug, which is opened during operation and closed when not in use. The battery is connected to the vehicle's power cable.

[0008] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model improves the fixing structure, which consists of a shell, fixing components, and rubber strips. The shell serves as the basic frame of the fixing structure, preventing dust, mud, rainwater, and other impurities from entering, thus avoiding short circuits and performance degradation of the GPS chip and battery in the positioning installation structure due to moisture or dust accumulation. On the other hand, it can buffer minor external impacts, preventing damage to internal positioning components due to direct force and extending the overall service life of the equipment. The rubber strips on the four sides of the shell play a dual role: firstly, they assist in shock absorption, forming a "double buffer" with the shock-absorbing base in the positioning installation structure. When vehicle vibration is transmitted to the fixing structure, the rubber strips can first absorb some high-frequency vibrations, reducing the direct impact of vibration on the internal GPS chip and battery. The silicone pads above the shock-absorbing base further reduce the problem of poor component contact and shortened lifespan caused by vibration. The rubber strips can also fill the gaps between the shell and the installation position, preventing tiny dust particles and moisture from entering the equipment.

[0009] This invention improves the positioning and installation structure, comprising a shock-absorbing base, a GPS vehicle positioning installation compartment, a GPS vehicle positioning chip, a battery installation chamber, a battery, and a charging plug. The shock-absorbing base reduces direct vibration to the GPS chip, effectively resisting common bumps encountered during vehicle operation, such as mountain roads, potholes, and inertial impacts from rapid acceleration / braking. This ensures the chip operates in a stable environment, reducing issues like positioning signal drift and data transmission interruptions caused by vibration. The functional partition design includes a GPS positioning installation compartment that provides an independent, enclosed space for the positioning chip, preventing direct contact with other components and reducing electromagnetic interference affecting the chip's signal reception. It also prevents damage to the GPS vehicle positioning chip from accidental battery leakage. The battery installation chamber separately houses the battery and features side ventilation holes to dissipate heat generated during battery operation, preventing high temperatures from affecting battery capacity and lifespan.

Detailed Implementation Example 1

[0011] This utility model provides a GPS car locator with a buffer structure. The fixing structure consists of a shell 1, a fixing component 2, and a rubber strip 3; the positioning and installation structure consists of a shock-absorbing base 4, a GPS car positioning installation compartment 5, a GPS car positioning chip 8, a battery installation chamber 6, a battery, and a charging plug 7. The outer casing 1 has fasteners 2 on all four sides, and the outer casing 1 is connected to the fasteners 2 by welding. Rubber strips 3 are provided on the four sides of the outer casing 1. A GPS vehicle positioning installation compartment 5 is provided on one side of the shock-absorbing base 4. The shock-absorbing base 4 and the GPS vehicle positioning installation compartment 5 are integrally formed. A GPS vehicle positioning chip 8 is installed inside the GPS vehicle positioning installation compartment 5. A battery installation chamber 6 is provided above the GPS vehicle positioning installation compartment 5. The GPS vehicle positioning installation compartment 5 and the battery installation chamber 6 are connected by bolts and nuts. A battery is installed inside the battery installation chamber 6. A charging plug 7 is provided on one side of the battery. The output terminal of the battery is electrically connected to the GPS vehicle positioning chip 8. Example 2

[0012] When using this utility model, first select a suitable location on the vehicle according to the installation scenario, such as a concealed area like the chassis or the side of the engine compartment. Clean the mounting surface before installation to ensure that the rubber strips 3 on the four sides of the outer shell 1 fit tightly. Secure the fixing structure firmly with the fixing parts 2 on the four sides of the outer shell 1 and the bolts. At this time, the rubber strips 3 fill the gap between the outer shell 1 and the mounting surface, initially achieving sealing, dust prevention, and high-frequency vibration buffering. The GPS car positioning chip is fixed in an independent GPS car positioning installation compartment to avoid direct contact with the battery in the battery installation compartment 6. Embed the positioning installation structure into the inside of the fixing structure and connect the two with bolts and nuts. During installation, ensure that the connecting lines in the through holes are neat and prevent squeezing and damage.

[0013] When the vehicle is in motion, if it encounters bumpy mountain roads or sudden acceleration / sudden braking that causes severe vibration, the vibration is first transmitted to the outer shell 1. After the rubber strip 3 absorbs some of the vibration energy, the remaining impact force acts on the shock-absorbing base 4. The silicone pad absorbs the impact force. The double buffer structure greatly reduces the impact of vibration on the GPS car positioning chip. The heat dissipation vents on the side of the battery installation chamber 6 continuously dissipate the working heat of the battery to prevent high temperature from causing capacity decay. When not in use, the waterproof seal of the charging plug 7 is closed to prevent high-pressure water from washing the car or rainwater from entering.

[0014] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of the present invention. The various components mentioned in this invention are common technologies in the existing field. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of the invention. Various changes and modifications can be made to the invention without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the present invention as claimed. The scope of protection of this invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
