Housing with disassembly indicator
View Patent ↗A housing containing its own record of any private and unwarranted disassembly includes a first shell, a second shell detachably connected with the second shell, a consumer disassembly indication structure. The consumer disassembly indication structure includes a circuit board, a plurality of switches, a computer chip, a plurality of conductive bodies, and a plurality of insulative bodies. The plurality of switches are fixed on the circuit board and each is electrically connected with the computer chip. The computer chip is configured to record electric connections between the conductive bodies and switches, the original electric connections being changed to other or no connections after any disassembly of the housing.
1. A housing with a disassembly indicator, comprising:
a first shell;
a second shell detachably connectable with the first shell to define a substantially enclosed space to house a product;
a consumer disassembly indication structure positioned within the substantially enclosed space, the consumer disassembly indication structure comprising:
a circuit board positioned within the substantially enclosed space;
one or more first switches fixed on the circuit board;
one or more second switches fixed on the circuit board;
one or more conductive bodies coupled with the one or more first switches;
one or more insulative bodies coupled with the one or more second switches;
one or more elastic members fixed between the first shell and the one or more conductive bodies or the one ore more insulative bodies, and generating an elastic force on each one of the one or more conductive bodies and the one or more insulative bodies; and
a computer chip electrically connected to the one or more first switches and the one or more second switches;
wherein, when the one or more conductive bodies are in contact with the one or more first switches, a first relationship is established;
wherein, when the one or more insulative bodies are in contact with the one or more first switches, a second relationship is established;
wherein, when the first shell is detached from the second shell, the first relationship is broken by the one or more conductive bodies being driven by the elastic force generated by the one or more elastic members to separate from the one or more first switches, and the one or more insulative bodies are driven by the elastic force generated by the one or more elastic members to separate from the one or more second switches;
wherein, when the one or more first shells are reattached to the one or more second shells, the second relationship may be established; and
wherein, the computer chip records the establishment of the first relationship and the second relationship, wherein the first shell comprises one or more positioning members corresponding to the one or more first switches and the one or more second switches, the one or more elastic members are fixed on the one or more positioning members, wherein the one or more positioning members comprise one or more first positioning members corresponding to the one or more first switches and one or more second positioning members corresponding to the one or more second switches, the one or more conductive bodies being coupled with the one or more first positioning members, the one or more insulative bodies being coupled with the one or more second positioning members.
2. The housing with the disassembly indicator of claim 1 , wherein the one or more conductive bodies and the one or more insulative bodies are identical.
3. The housing with the disassembly indicator of claim 1 , wherein one of the one or more conductive bodies are located on one of the one or more insulative bodies.
4. The housing with the disassembly indicator of claim 3 , wherein the one or more first shells comprise one or more positioning members, each of the one or more positioning members defines a plurality of grooves, each of the insulative bodies comprises a projection engaged with one of the one or more grooves to limit the insulative body on the positioning member.
5. The housing with the disassembly indicator of claim 4 , wherein the one or more first switches and the one or more second switches are arranged on the circuit board in a ring.
