Description

Lantern ring sensor for commodity theft prevention

Technical Field

The utility model relates to a commodity anti-theft device.

Background

In the field of retail goods or sales exhibition, certain anti-theft measures are generally required to be performed on goods, for example, an induction device is arranged at an entrance and an exit of a supermarket, once a good leaves an unauthorized place, an alarm is given to prompt a worker, and for example, in the field of sales of electronic products, the good can be taken up or put down by an experiencer in the place to be displayed for experience, so that some functions of the good can be known, and the experience before the use of the good can be determined, and the experience can often determine whether a user purchases the good, therefore, in the field of sales of electronic products, besides regional anti-theft measures, such as leaving alarm, are arranged in the place, certain anti-theft measures are also taken for each good, for example, the goods and the anti-theft devices are connected through a charging interface of the conducting cable, once the conducting cable is opened or the connection between the goods and the anti, the commodity is considered to be at risk of theft, and the anti-theft device can give an alarm. Alternatively, in some locations where usage rights are sold, some functions of the article may be used, but the article may not leave a limited range, for example, some machines or tools may be limited to a certain range by an anti-theft device for use by a user, but the user is not allowed to leave the location. In the prior art, magnetic burglar alarms in supermarkets or some antitheft devices inserted into a commodity charging interface are frequently applied, and the magnetic burglar alarms are not necessarily applicable to commodities with special shapes or using methods.

In view of the above situation, the present applicant has also devised an anti-theft device suitable for a commodity with a special shape, namely, a loop sensor disclosed in chinese patent CN 201920821067X, which can be applied to a headset or other products as shown in fig. 6-7 of the patent to form a closed loop for preventing theft, and whether the closed loop is opened is used as a way to determine whether the commodity is in a safe state, so as to achieve the purpose of preventing theft. The lantern ring can also be changed in size, but the closing device on the sensor needs to be opened, the closing performance of the lantern ring is damaged, the sensor is covered again after the lantern ring is adjusted to a proper size, the lantern ring can be adjusted to a closed lantern ring with another size, the adjusting mode is suitable for adjusting when the commodity is replaced, but inconvenience is caused when the same commodity is displayed in different occasions or the length of a lead wire outside the closed lantern ring needs to be adjusted, because when the commodity is not replaced, if an authorized person needs to adjust the size of the lantern ring, the alarm function of the anti-theft device needs to be closed first, the closed lantern ring is opened, the lantern ring is adjusted to a proper size, then the closed lantern ring is closed, the adjustment can be realized, the operation is troublesome when the commodity is not replaced, and the adjustment is inaccurate, for example, the size of the lantern ring needs to be visually observed when the adjustment is carried, the collar size, which is already adjusted during this process, may also change during operation.
