DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, an electronic device theft prevention connector according to the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

2, the electronic device theft prevention connector 10 according to the present invention detects the detachment of the connector 10 from the connection port 31 of the electronic device 30 to detect and prevent theft Connected to a controller,

A connector 10 of a general electronic device 30 will be described with reference to Figs. 1A and 1B. A charging jack 11, which is detachably attached to a connection port 31 of the electronic device 30, And a fastening part (not shown) fastened to the power supply part is provided on the other side of the cable 17.

The connector 10 is generally provided with a 5 pin-type charging jack, in which the 5 pin-type charging jack has five connection pins 12, and two power pins for supplying power Two power pins 12a and a power line 17a are omitted for convenience of explanation) and two data pins for inputting and outputting data (for convenience of explanation in FIG. 2, The two data pins 12b and the data line 17b are omitted in the figure) and the connector 10 and the electronic device 30 are grounded or used for different purposes depending on the type of the connector 10. [ And one first connection pin 12c which can be connected to the first connection pin 12c.

Of course, the connector 10 of the present invention may be a 3-pin-type charging jack in which the data pins are omitted when the connector 10 is for pure power source charging only. It is sufficient for the device 30 to be charged with power, so that it can be applied to the 3-pin-type connector 10 without data pins.

The charging jack (11) includes an insulator (13) having pin fixing holes into which the connecting pins (12) are inserted so as to fix the pins and prevent the pins from coming into contact with each other, A conductive receiving body (14) is wrapped around and coupled to the outside of the insulator (13).

The receiving body 14 is inserted into the receptacle 32 provided in the connection port 31 and is in contact with the receptacle so that the receptacle is electrically connected to the receptacle.

In addition, although not shown in the drawing, the fastening unit may be a plug or a USB terminal fastened to a USB port such as a computer or the like, which is fastened to an outlet for supplying commercial power.

In this general connector 10, the power supply lines 17a coated on the cable 5 connect between the power supply pins 12a and the fastening portion, and the data lines 17b are connected between the data pins 12b and the fastening portions. And the first connection line 17c connects between the first connection pin 12c, the receiving body 14 and the fastening portion,

The connection port 31 of the general electronic device 30 is connected to the connection terminal to which the first connection pin 12c is connected and the receptacle 32 via a connection line (not shown) (31), and then,

The first connection line 17c is connected to any one of the power supply lines 17a (typically, the first connection line 17c is constituted by a (-) pole of the DC power supply, while the receiving body 14 is in contact with the receptacle 32) Is connected to the (+) pole of the power line 17a through the receptacle 32 so that the connector 10 and the connection port 31 are grounded.

However, in recent years, since the connecting terminal is not connected to the receptacle 32 via the connecting port 31 of the electromagnetic unit, even if the connector 10 is inserted into the connecting port 31, the first connecting pin 12c And the receptacle 32 are not conducted.

The present invention is characterized in that the receptacle body 14 connected to the body line 17d and the sensing body 15 connected to the sensing line 17e are added to the connector 10 using the receptacle body 14 as it is, It is sensed whether or not the connector 10 and the electronic device 30 are engaged or disengaged using the electrical interception of the body line 17d and the sensing line 17e, Detect theft.

2 to 4, the charging jack 11 is inserted into the receptacle 32 by being exposed to the surface of the receiving body 14, The receiving body 14 is connected to the body line 17d and the sensing body 15 is connected to the sensing line 17e.

Therefore, when the connector 10 is inserted into the connection port 31 of the electronic device 30, both the receiving body 14 and the sensing body 15 come into contact with the receptacle 32, The body line 17d and the sensing line 17e are electrically disconnected from each other when the connector 10 is disconnected from the connection port 31. In the state where the body line 17d and the sensing line 17e are electrically disconnected .

That is, since the body line 17d and the sensing line 17e are separately connected to the receiving body 14 and the sensing body 15, which are electrically disconnected from each other, The body line 17d and the sensing line 17e are also electrically disconnected and the connector 10 is connected to the connection port 31 before the connection between the receiving body 14 and the sensing body 15 Are mutually energized as they are in contact with the receptacles 32 and 32 of the connection port 31 so that the body line 17d and the sensing line 17e are electrically connected to each other.

In the present invention, the controller 21 of the controller 20 senses that the electronic device 30 is stolen by detecting that the current is interrupted between the body line 17d and the sensing line 17e.

First, the controller 20 is connected to the cable 17 of the connector 10. At this time, the connector 20 is detachably connected using the USB terminal or one end of the cable 17 is fixed to the controller 20 Various methods such as fixed type can be considered.

The control unit 21 incorporated in the controller 20 is connected to both the body line 17d and the sensing line 17e to sense the intermittency between the body line 17d and the sensing line 17e.

That is, when the body line 17d and the sensing line 17e are energized, the controller 21 recognizes that the connector 10 is connected to the connection port 31,

The connector 10 is disconnected from the connection port 31 and is recognized as being disconnected so that the electronic device 30 can be stolen if the electrical connection between the body line 17d and the sensing line 17e is detected, And transmits a signal to an alarm issuing unit 22 to be described later so that a theft alarm is issued.

Here, the meaning that the power supply to the body line 17d and the sensing line 17e is cut off means that not only the connector 10 is separated from the electronic device 30 but also the cable 17 is cut, Line or sensing line, or both.

The sensing body 15 is exposed to the surface of the receiving body 14 only when the sensing body and the receiving body are physically separated from each other, (For example, the receiving body 14 or the charging jack 11) may be implemented separately as long as the receiving body and the sensing body, that is, the body line and the sensing line are not electrically connected to each other Switch is turned on when the connector 10 is coupled to the connection port 31 to electrically connect the sensing body and the housing body and when the connector 10 is detached from the connection port 31, So that the sensing body and the receiving body are electrically disconnected).

However, it is more preferable that the sensing body and the receiving body are physically separated from each other by utilizing a general connector structure in order to ensure easiness in manufacturing the connector and to reduce manufacturing cost.

First, the charging jack 11 to which the present invention can be applied is constructed so as to prevent the connector 10 from being easily separated and detached from the connection port 31 of the electronic device 30, as shown in FIG. 1B, A pair of elastic pieces 16'fitted to the latching holes (not shown) of the connection port 31 are provided on the lower surface of the receiving body 14. The present invention can be applied to the sensing body 15 Was exposed to the surface while being in contact with the receiving body 14 in a noncontact state.

The pair of elastic pieces 16 'protrude to the lower portion of the receiving body 14 and are exposed when the elastic piece 16' contacts the receptacle 32 when the charging jack is fitted in the connecting port 31 The resilient piece 16 'is retracted into the retaining hole (not shown) of the receptacle 32 so as to be protruded so as to be inserted into the receptacle body 14 when the recharging jack is completely inserted into the connection port 31, To prevent it from falling out of the connection port, there is a slight difference in the structure according to the design specification.

2 to 4, a part of the lower surface of the receiving body 14 is punctured so that a separate elastic piece 16 protrudes downward from the receiving body 14 through the perforated hole .

The sensing body 15 of the present invention is exposed to the surface of the receiving body 14 and is electrically connected to the receiving body 14 through the receptacle 32. Hereinafter, Embodiments of the sensing body 15 will be described.

First, the sensing body 15 is made of an elastic piece having elasticity and protruding to the surface of the receiving body 14.

That is, the sensing member 15 is a resilient piece 16, and the sensing line 17e is connected to the first latching piece 16A by using the first latching piece 16A engaged in the latching hole Examples)

A second latching piece 16B is additionally provided on one side of the first latching piece 16A so that the sensing line 17e is connected to the second latching piece 16B 2 embodiment).

In the first embodiment of the present invention, as shown in [A] of FIGS. 2 and 4, the first retaining piece 16A is elastically supported through the perforated hole and protrudes outward from the receiving body 14 Exposed.

(Noncontact) between the receiving body 14 and the first retaining piece 16A by a perforated hole (a third spacing portion 14c described later) When the body line 17d is connected and the sensing line 17e is connected to the first latching piece 16A, the first latching piece 16A is connected to the sensing body 15 Function.

Therefore, when the charging jack is inserted into the connection port 31 of the electronic device 30, the first engaging piece 16A is engaged with the engaging hole of the connecting port 31 (generally, the size of the engaging hole is the size Both the first engaging piece 16A as the resilient piece 16 and the receiving body 14 come into contact with the receptacle 32 as a result of being in contact with the receptacle 32, The line 17d and the sensing line 17e are electrically connected to each other so that the control unit 21 can discriminate whether the body line and the sensing line are energized so that the electronic device 30 is stolen if the energization of the body line and the sensing line is interrupted can do.

Since the engaging hole of the connecting port 31 is larger than the engaging hole of the first engaging piece 16A as described above, the connector 10 may be slightly When the flow occurs, the contact between the first engaging piece 16A and the receptacle 32 can be released.

That is, when the charging jack 11 is slightly shaken in the connection port 31 while the consumer is demonstrating the electronic device 30, if the contact between the first latching piece 16A and the receptacle 32 is released, The control unit 21 can detect this as a theft.

In order to prevent the above-described problems, the present invention proposes a connector for a portable terminal, which is formed to extend forwardly or rearwardly of the first latching piece 16A to a predetermined height (more preferably, And a step portion 16a projecting downward from the receiving body 14 by a lower height than the first holding piece 16A.

The spacing portion (the third spacing portion 14c to be described later) surrounding the first latching portion 16A is formed longer than the length of the step portion 16a.

Therefore, when the power jack 11 having the first latching piece 16A with the flared portion 16a is inserted into the connection port 31, the first latching piece 16A is inserted into the latching hole, The step portion 16a is always brought into contact with the receptacle 32 to prevent the malfunction of the controller 21 from being detected.

In other words, generally, the length (size) of the latching hole of the connection port 31 corresponds to the length of the spaced portion before the stepped portion 16a is added, so that the first stepped portion 16a The stepped portion 16a is positioned on the receptacle 32 surrounding the stopping hole and the stepped portion 16a is displaced by the elastic holding force of the first stopping piece 16A It is possible to prevent the malfunction of the controller 21 from being detected by the controller 21 by always contacting the receptacle 32.

The step portion 16a may be applied to the second engaging portion 16B described later.

Next, as a second embodiment of the present invention, as shown in [B] of Figs. 3 and 4, a spacing portion (a third spacing portion 14c described later) is formed on one side of the first latching piece 16A, And a second latching part 16B protruding from the third spacing part 14c inside the receiving body 14 is added to connect the body line 17d to the receiving body 14 And the sensing wire 17e is connected to the second retaining piece 16B so that the second retaining piece 16B functions as the sensing body 15 as the elastic piece 16. [

Therefore, when the charging jack is inserted into the connection port 31 of the electronic device 30, the second latching piece 16B comes into contact with the receptacle 32 on one side of the latching hole of the connection port 31, Both the second engaging piece 16B and the receiving body 14 are brought into contact with the receptacle 32 so that the control section 21 can discriminate whether the body line and the sensing line are energized, When the energization of the line is interrupted, the theft of the electronic device 30 can be detected.

In the second embodiment, the second latching piece 16B is constructed separately because the insulator is provided between the first latching piece and the receiving body in a general connector and is not electrically connected to each other. However, An independent second latching piece 16B is additionally provided so that the second latching piece 16B serving as the elastic piece 16 serving as the sensing body 15 comes into contact with the receiving body 14, This is a configuration for preventing malfunction.

The first and second retaining pieces 16A and 16B serving as the sensing element 15 function as the elastic piece 16 to detect whether or not the electret is in contact with the receptacle 32, 21 detects that the connector 10 is coupled to the electronic device 30 or is detached,

Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the elastic piece (the first latching piece 16A or the elastic piece, which is separately provided, from being exposed to the surface of the receiving body 14, regardless of the second latching piece 16B) The function of the sensing body can be realized, so that the right interpretation of the present invention should not be limited.

Next, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which a first and a second powder 14A, 14A ', 14B, 14B ') (Third and fourth embodiments).

The body line 17d and the sensing line 17e are connected to the first and second powders 14A and 14B so that the powder connected to the sensing line 7e functions as the sensing body 15.

That is, the first and second spaced apart portions 14a and 14b are formed by making the receiving bodies 14 connected to each other so as to surround the outside of the insulator 13 to be physically separated from each other The first and second powders 14A and 14B are coupled to the outside of the insulator 13,

The first and second powders 14A and 14B physically separated (i.e., electrically separated) from each other are connected to the connection port 31 of the electronic device 30 only when the connector 10 is connected to the connection port 31 of the electronic device 30. [ The body line 17d and the sensing line 17e are electrically connected to each other as the second powders 14A and 14B are all in contact with the receptacle 32 of the connection port 31 and are electrically connected to each other, The controller 21 recognizes that the connector 10 is safely placed in a state of being connected to the electronic device 30,

The connector 10 is separated from the connection port 31 of the electronic device 30 so that the first and second powders 14A and 14B are physically separated (or the cable 17, that is, the body line 17d And the sensing line 17e are interrupted by the sensing line 17e and the sensing line 17e dl), the control unit 21 detects that the electronic device 30 is exposed to the risk of theft And transmits a theft signal to the alarm issuing unit 22.

At this time, since the consumer can demount the connector 10 from the electronic device 30 by mistake while demonstrating the electronic device 30, the controller 21 can prevent the connector 10 from being stolen Signal can be transmitted.

5A, the first and second spaced portions 14a and 14b are respectively formed on the upper and lower surfaces of the receiving body 14 so that the first and second powders 14A and 14B are physically But the present invention is not limited thereto. As shown in the figure, the first and second spacers 14a and 14b need not be formed only on the surfaces facing each other.

That is, unlike the drawings, the first and second spacing portions 14a and 14b may be formed on the left and right side surfaces of the receiving body 14, and further, any one of the upper and lower surfaces of the receiving body 14, The first and second spaced apart portions 14a and 14b may be formed on either one of the right and left side surfaces,

Furthermore, the first and second spacing portions 14a and 14b may be formed on the same surface or the first and second spacing portions 14a and 14b may be formed on the left and right edge surfaces.

Next, as a fourth embodiment of the present invention, as shown in [B] of FIG. 5, the receiving body 14 surrounds the first powder 14A 'or the second powder 14B' And a third spacing portion (14c) spaced apart from the powder and physically separated,

The body line 17d and the sensing line 17e are connected to the first and second powders 14A 'and 14B' so that the powder connected to the sensing line 7e functions as the sensing body 15 do.

That is, the first powder 14A '(or the second powder 14B') is cut by cutting a part of the receiving body 14, which are all connected to cover the outside of the insulator 13, The second powder 14B '(or the first powder 14A') having a small area is separately prepared and bonded to the outside of the insulator 13 to form a third spacing portion 14c can be formed.
