Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention discloses an indicating device, in particular a status indicating device. Background Art

[0002] With the development of economy and the continuous progress of public construction, various sign devices are installed in public places, and sign devices often need to have their own light source to avoid losing their indication function at night or in poor light conditions. However, various sign devices are inevitably subject to environmental conditions, such as humid air, rain, falling water, foreign object impact, etc., which may affect their performance and service life.

[0003] If a material with high mechanical strength is selected to increase the performance and service life of the indicator device under UV exposure, water immersion, or water exposure, the manufacturing cost will be greatly increased. In addition, if the indicator device needs to be repaired, the entire indicator device must be dismantled or the indicator device must be shut down before repair, which will extend the time required for repair and reduce the reliability and availability of the indicator device. Summary of the invention

[0004] In view of this, in one embodiment, a status indicating device comprises a base, a light source module, a limiting component, an indicating component and an anti-collision component. The light source module is embedded in the base. One end of the limiting component is fixed to the base. The indicating component comprises a light guide, which is limited by the limiting component and positioned above the light source module. One end of the anti-collision component is fixed to the base and is located on the side of the light source module. The height of the anti-collision component projected onto a projection plane perpendicular to the horizontal plane is less than the height of the light guide projected onto the projection plane, so that part of the light guide is exposed from the anti-collision component.

[0005] In an embodiment of the present invention, the base includes a recessed portion, and the light source module is located in the recessed portion.

[0006] In one embodiment of the present invention, the anti-collision component includes a first anti-collision component and a second anti-collision component. The first anti-collision component and the second anti-collision component are located on both sides of the light source module. The height of the first anti-collision component is higher than that of the second anti-collision component.

[0007] In an embodiment of the present invention, the first anti-collision component is located on a first side of the base, and the second anti-collision component is located on a second side of the base.

[0008] In an embodiment of the present invention, the anti-collision component further includes a protective cover and a waterproof structure, the protective cover covers the light source module, and the waterproof structure connects the protective cover and the base.

[0009] In one embodiment of the present invention, the limiting component includes a first limiting component and a second limiting component, and the first limiting component and the second limiting component are located at two opposite ends of the light source module, wherein the first limiting component includes a first blocking piece and a second blocking piece, one end of the first blocking piece and the second blocking piece are fixed to the base, the first blocking piece abuts against a first side of the indicating component, and the second blocking piece abuts against a second side of the indicating component.

[0010] In one embodiment of the present invention, the indicating component further includes a support member and an outer cover member, one side of the support member is pressed against by the first blocking piece, the other side of the support member bottom supports the light guide member, and the outer cover member covers the support member and the light guide member.

[0011] In an embodiment of the present invention, an acute angle is formed between the first blocking piece and an upper surface of the base.

[0012] In this way, when a foreign object falls onto the status indicator device, the foreign object will first contact the anti-collision component instead of directly hitting the light source module. Furthermore, since the height of the anti-collision component projected onto the projection plane perpendicular to the horizontal plane is less than the height of the light guide projected onto the projection plane, the foreign object will first hit the light guide, and the light guide will first absorb a portion of the impact of the foreign object before the anti-collision component will bear the impact of the foreign object, thereby reducing the impact on the anti-collision component. Furthermore, since the light guide can be easily removed from the base without affecting the functions of other components of the status indicator device, even if the light guide is damaged by the impact of a foreign object, only the light guide needs to be replaced without replacing the entire status indicator device, and it can be repaired without stopping the operation of the status indicator device, thereby improving the reliability and availability of the status indicator device.

[0013] In another embodiment, a state indicating device is provided, comprising a base, a light source module, a light guide and an anti-collision component. The base comprises a first recessed portion and a second recessed portion, wherein the depth of the first recessed portion from the outer surface of the base is deeper than the depth of the second recessed portion from the outer surface of the base. The light source module is located in the first recessed portion. The light guide is located in the second recessed portion. One end of the anti-collision component is fixed to the second recessed portion and is located on the side of the light guide, and the length of the anti-collision component projected onto the horizontal plane is longer than the length of the light guide projected onto the horizontal plane.

[0014] In one embodiment of the present invention, an anti-collision component includes a protective cover and a waterproof structure. The protective cover is located on the base and covers the light source module, the light guide and the anti-collision component. The waterproof structure connects the light guide and the second recessed portion.

[0015] In one embodiment of the present invention, the base is coplanar with a protective cover.

[0016] In this way, when a foreign object hits the status indicator device from the side, the foreign object will first contact the anti-collision component instead of directly hitting the light guide and the light source module, thereby increasing the performance and service life of the status indicator device.

[0075] Various embodiments are presented below for detailed description. However, the embodiments are only used as examples and do not limit the scope of protection of the invention. Well-known components and steps are not described in the embodiments to avoid unnecessary limitations on the content of the invention. In addition, some components are omitted in the drawings in the embodiments to clearly show the technical features of the invention. The same reference numerals will be used to represent the same or similar components in all drawings.

[0076] First embodiment

[0077] See also Figures 1 to 3 A status indicator device 100 mainly includes a base 10, a light source module 20, a limit component 30, an indicator component 40 and an anti-collision component 50. The base 10 can be used to assemble a power distribution system, a control system, etc., but the present invention is not limited thereto. In one embodiment, the status indicator device 100 is applied to a signal light of a charging pile (such as Figure 1 The present invention is not limited thereto and can also be applied to public places such as roads, railway stations, airports, parking lots, etc. as indicator signs.

[0078] See also Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the light source module 20 is embedded in the base 10. The light source module 20 is parallel to the long side 106 of the base 10. In one embodiment, the light source module 20 may include components such as an LED lamp, a heat sink, a circuit board, and a sheet metal arm. The LED lamp, the heat sink, and the circuit board may be fixed on the sheet metal arm, and the light source module 20 is embedded in the base 10 by assembling the sheet metal arm into the base 10. The present invention does not limit the components included in the light source module 20, nor does it limit the assembly method of the light source module 20 in the base 10.

[0079] In one embodiment, the base 10 includes a recessed portion 103, and the light source module 20 is located in the recessed portion 103. Here, the recessed portion 103 is a hollow cavity and is disposed parallel to the long side 106 of the base 10 to accommodate the light source module 20.

[0080] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, one end of the limiting component 30 is fixed to the upper surface 10a of the base 10. In one embodiment, the limiting component 30 may include a first limiting component 31 and a second limiting component 32, and the first limiting component 31 and the second limiting component 32 are respectively located at two opposite ends of the base 10.

[0081] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the indicating component 40 mainly includes a light guide 41, and the light guide 41 is limited by the limiting component 30 and positioned above the light source module 20. Further, the light guide 41 is, for example, a plate-shaped structure made of a transparent material, wherein one end 41a of the light guide 41 abuts against the first limiting component 31 (such as Fig. 7A ), and the other end 41b abuts against the second stopper 32 (as shown Figure 7B As shown in FIG. 1 , the light guide 41 can be positioned above the light source module 20 and can guide the light source projected by the light source module 20 to be evenly distributed on the surface of the light guide 41, thereby achieving a clear indication status effect. In addition, the limiting component 30 limits the light guide 41. In other words, the light guide 41 is not fixed to the base 10, so the light guide 41 can be easily removed from the base 10 and replaced.

[0082] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, one end of the anti-collision component 50 is fixed to the upper surface 10a of the base 10 and is located at the side of the light source module 20. Further, the anti-collision component 50 can be arranged parallel to the long side of the light source module 20, and the length of the anti-collision component 50 is greater than or at least equal to the length of the long side of the light source module 20.

[0083] In one embodiment, if Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the anti-collision component 50 may include a first anti-collision component 501 and a second anti-collision component 502, and the first anti-collision component 501 and the second anti-collision component 502 are respectively located on both sides of the light source module 20, and the lengths of the first anti-collision component 501 and the second anti-collision component 502 are also greater than or at least equal to the length of the long side of the light source module 20. The above is an explanation based on the anti-collision component 50 including the first anti-collision component 501 and the second anti-collision component 502, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and the anti-collision component 50 may also be composed of one anti-collision component, which is located on one side of the light source module 20.

[0084] like Figure 4As shown, the height of the anti-collision component 50 projected onto the projection plane P perpendicular to the horizontal plane is less than the height of the light guide 41 projected onto the projection plane P, so that a portion of the light guide 41 is exposed from the anti-collision component 50. In other words, the anti-collision component 50 will not block the entire light guide 41.

[0085] Thus, when a foreign object falls onto the status indicating device 100, the foreign object will first contact the anti-collision component 50 and will not directly hit the light source module 20 (the simulated foreign object W is as shown in FIG. Figure 8 In addition, since the height of the anti-collision component 50 projected onto the projection plane P perpendicular to the horizontal plane is less than the height of the light guide 41 projected onto the projection plane P, the foreign matter will first hit the outer cover 45 (as shown in FIG. Figure 3 As shown), and the light guide 41 absorbs part of the impact of the foreign object first, and then the anti-collision component 50 will bear the impact of the foreign object, which can reduce the impact on the anti-collision component 50. In addition, since the light guide 41 can be easily removed from the base 10 without affecting the functions of other components of the status indicator device 100, even if the light guide 41 is damaged by the impact of foreign objects, it is only necessary to replace the light guide 41 without replacing the entire status indicator device 100, and it is not necessary to stop the operation of the status indicator device 100 to repair it, which improves the reliability and availability of the status indicator device 100. In addition, the structural design of the replaceable light guide 41 does not require the selection of materials that have high mechanical strength after ultraviolet light exposure, water immersion, and water exposure tests to manufacture the light guide 41, which can reduce the manufacturing cost of the light guide 41 and increase the indication area of ​​the light guide 41, thereby increasing the indication effect of the status indicator device 100.

[0086] Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 In one embodiment, the first anti-collision member 501 of the anti-collision member 50 is higher than the second anti-collision member 502. In other words, the height H1 of the first anti-collision member 501 is higher than the height H2 of the second anti-collision member 502. When a foreign object falls onto the status indicator 100 and hits the first anti-collision member 501 and the second anti-collision member 502, the foreign object easily leaves the anti-collision member 50 from the side of the second anti-collision member 502 with a lower height, and does not stay on the anti-collision member 50.

[0087] Further, the first anti-collision member 501 may be located on the first side of the base 10, and the second anti-collision member 502 may be located on the second side of the base 10. Here, the distance between the first side of the base 10 and the long side 106 of the base 10 is greater than the distance between the second side of the base 10 and the long side 106 of the base 10. In other words, the first side is located on the inner side of the upper surface 10a of the base 10, and the second side is located on the outer side of the upper surface 10a of the base 10. Therefore, when a foreign object falls onto the state indicating device 100 and hits the first anti-collision member 501 and the second anti-collision member 502, the foreign object is easy to leave the base 10 from the outer side of the base 10 (i.e., the second side of the base 10).

[0088] In one embodiment, if Figure 4 As shown, the state indicating device 100 includes two sets of symmetrically arranged light source modules 20 and anti-collision components 50. Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the base 10 has a symmetry axis X parallel to the long side 106, and the base 10 is provided with a first anti-collision component 501, a light source module 20 and a second anti-collision component 502 arranged in sequence in the direction of the symmetry axis X toward the two long sides 106 of the base 10. That is, the two first anti-collision components 501 are located on the inner side of the upper surface 10a of the base 10, and the two second anti-collision components 502 are located on the outer side of the upper surface 10a of the base 10. Since the first anti-collision component 501 located on the inner side of the base 10 is higher than the second anti-collision component 502 located on the outer side of the base 10, when a foreign object hits the anti-collision component 50, the foreign object is easy to leave the upper surface 10a of the base 10, and is not easy to accumulate on the upper surface 10a of the base 10.

[0089] It should be noted that Figures 1 to 8 The status indicating device 100 is taken as an example to include two sets of symmetrically arranged light source modules 20 , indicating components 40 and anti-collision components 50 , but the present invention is not limited thereto. The status indicating device 100 may also include only one set of light source module 20 , indicating component 40 and anti-collision component 50 .

[0090] See also Figure 4 and Figure 5 In one embodiment, the anti-collision component 50 may further include a protective cover 503 and a waterproof structure 504, wherein the protective cover 503 is disposed on the upper surface 10a of the base 10 to cover the light source module 20, thereby preventing foreign objects from directly impacting the light source module 20. Figure 5 As shown, the protective cover 503 can be installed on the base 10 by being supported on the upper surface 10a of the base 10, but the present invention is not limited to this. That is, the base 10 has a recessed portion 103. More specifically, the protective cover 503 is located on the upper surface 10a of the recessed portion 103, and can be installed on the base 10 by engaging with a groove (not shown) located on the inner wall surface 103a of the recessed portion 103. That is, the present invention does not limit the method of installing the protective cover 503 on the base 10.

[0091] The waterproof structure 504 connects the protective cover 503 and the upper surface 10a of the base 10. Here, the waterproof structure 504 is, for example, silicone, and is attached to the connection between the protective cover 503 and the base 10 in the form of a sealant, a gasket, a tape or a coating, so as to prevent water vapor from entering the interior of the base 10 through the gap between the protective cover 503 and the base 10, especially preventing it from entering the recessed portion 103. In this way, in the embodiment where the light source module 20 is disposed in the recessed portion 103, in addition to achieving the protection purpose, a waterproof effect can also be achieved.

[0092] See also Figure 6 and Fig. 7A In one embodiment, the first stopper 31 may include a first stopper 311 and a second stopper 312, and one end of the first stopper 311 and the second stopper 312 is fixed to the base 10. The first stopper 311 is substantially parallel to the second stopper 312. The first stopper 311 abuts against the first side 40a of the indicating component 40, and the second stopper 312 abuts against the second side 40b of the indicating component 40, thereby achieving the function of limiting the indicating component 40 in a direction parallel to the short side 107 of the base 10. Here, the distance between the first side 40a of the indicating component 40 and the long side 106 of the base 10 is greater than the distance between the second side 40b of the indicating component 40 and the long side 106 of the base 10. In other words, the first side 40a of the indicating component 40 is located on the inner side of the base 10, and the second side 40b of the indicating component 40 is located on the outer side of the base 10.

[0093] See also Figure 6 and Figure 7B In one embodiment, the second stopper 32 may include a third stopper 321 and a fourth stopper 322, one end of each of which is fixed to the base 10. The third stopper 321 is substantially perpendicular to the fourth stopper 322, and the fourth stopper 322 is substantially parallel to the long side 106 of the base 10. In other words, the third stopper 321 is substantially parallel to the short side 107 of the base 10. The third stopper 321 abuts against the end portion 40c of the indication component 40, thereby achieving the function of limiting the indication component 40 in a direction parallel to the long side 106 of the base 10. The fourth stopper 322 abuts against the second side 40b of the indication component 40, thereby achieving the function of limiting the indication component 40 in a direction parallel to the short side 107 of the base 10.

[0094] Here, the indicating component 40 is only limited by the limiting component 30 and is not fixed to the base 10, so the indicating component 40 can be easily removed and replaced from the base 10. If the indicating component 40 is damaged by the impact of foreign objects, only the indicating component 40 can be replaced without replacing the entire status indicating device 100, and the status indicating device 100 can be repaired without stopping its operation, thereby improving the reliability and usability of the status indicating device 100.

[0095] Please refer to Figure 3 and Fig. 7A In one embodiment, the indicating member 40 may further include a supporting member 44 and an outer cover member 45. Fig. 7A As shown, one side of the support member 44 is pressed against by the first baffle 311, and the other side presses against the light guide 41. In other words, the support member 44 is located between the light guide 41 and the first baffle 311, and is located on the inner side of the light guide 41 (i.e., located on the first side 40a of the indicating component 40). Here, the support member 44 can be made of an alloy with high rigidity and hardness, and the support surface 44a of the support member 44 is substantially equal to the area of ​​the side surface of the light guide 41. Therefore, the support member 44 presses against the light guide 41 to provide rigid support to the light guide 41, thereby preventing the light guide 41 from breaking or deforming.

[0096] The outer cover 45 covers the support member 44 and the light guide member 41 (eg Figure 2 and Figure 3 Here, the outer cover 45 can be made of transparent plastic, such as polycarbonate, polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), etc., or made of transparent tempered glass, silicone resin, etc., but the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0097] Since the support member 44 and the outer cover member 45 are only limited by the limiting component 30 but not fixed to the base 10 , the support member 44 and the outer cover member 45 can be easily removed from the base 10 and replaced, making the maintenance of the status indicating device 100 more convenient.

[0098] Please refer to Fig. 7A . In one embodiment, an acute angle θ1 is formed between the first baffle 311 and the upper surface 10a of the base 10. The first baffle 311 is inclined toward the first side (inner side) of the base 10. Here, the acute angle θ1 is, for example, an angle between 75° and 85°, but the present invention is not limited thereto and can also be adjusted to other angles according to actual needs, for example, the acute angle θ1 is an angle between 95° and 65°. Therefore, when the indicating component 40 is installed to the limiting component 30, the light guide 41 abuts against the first baffle 311 and is inclined toward the first side (inner side) of the base 10. In this way, dust will slide along the indicating component 40 and is not easily accumulated on the indicating component 40, thereby preventing the indicating component 40 from being blocked by dust and affecting the effect of the status indication.

[0099] In summary, in any embodiment, when a foreign object falls onto the status indicating device 100 (such as a simulated foreign object W Figure 8As shown in FIG. 2 , foreign matter will first contact the anti-collision component 50 and will not directly hit the light source module 20. Moreover, since the height of the anti-collision component 50 projected onto the projection plane P perpendicular to the horizontal plane is less than the height of the light guide 41 projected onto the projection plane P, the foreign matter will first hit the light guide 41, and the light guide 41 will first absorb a part of the impact of the foreign matter, and the anti-collision component 50 will bear the impact of the foreign matter, which can reduce the impact on the anti-collision component 50. Moreover, the indicating component 40 (the light guide 41, the support component 44 and the outer cover 45) can be easily removed from the base 10 without affecting the functions of other components of the status indicating device 100. Even if the indicating component 40 is damaged by the impact of foreign matter, only the damaged indicating component 40 needs to be replaced without replacing the entire status indicating device 100, and it can be repaired without stopping the operation of the status indicating device 100, thereby improving the reliability and availability of the status indicating device 100. In one embodiment, when foreign matter hits the anti-collision component 50, the foreign matter is easy to leave the upper surface 10a of the base 10, and is not easy to accumulate on the upper surface 10a of the base 10. In one embodiment, the waterproof structure 504 prevents water from entering the light source module 20, which can prevent the performance of the status indicator 100 from being affected.

[0100] Second embodiment

[0101] It should be noted that the same components as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same component symbols, and the same components and structures will not be described in detail.

[0102] Please refer to Fig. 9 . A status indicating device 100 may mainly include a base 10, a light source module 20, a light guide 41 and an anti-collision component 50. The base 10 mainly includes a first recessed portion 11 and a second recessed portion 12. The cross-sections of the first recessed portion 11 and the second recessed portion 12 are generally square or rectangular in shape, and there is a hollow cavity therein. The depth of the bottom 11a of the first recessed portion 11 from the outer surface 10b of the base 10 is deeper than the depth of the bottom 12a of the second recessed portion 12 from the outer surface 10b of the base 10. And the opening 11b of the first recessed portion 11 is connected to the bottom 12a of the second recessed portion 12. From a holistic perspective, the cross-section of the first recessed portion 11 connected to the second recessed portion 12 is generally in the shape of a convex letter, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0103] The light source module 20 is located at the bottom 11a of the first recessed portion 11 and projects light toward the opening 11b of the first recessed portion 11. Here, the components and assembly methods of the light source module 20 are as described in the previous embodiment, and are not described again.

[0104] Please refer to Fig. 9, the light guide 41 is located at the bottom 12a of the second recessed portion 12. Specifically, a portion of the light guide 41 is located at the opening 11b of the first recessed portion 11, and a portion of the light guide 41 is fixed to the bottom 12a of the second recessed portion 12. In other words, the light guide 41 is located in the light projection direction of the light source module 20, and guides the light source projected by the light source module 20 to be evenly distributed on the surface of the light guide 41.

[0105] Please refer to Fig. 9 , one end of the anti-collision component 50 is fixed to the bottom 12a of the second recessed portion 12 and is located on the side of the light guide 41. In one embodiment, the anti-collision component 50 may include a first anti-collision component 501 and a second anti-collision component 502, the first anti-collision component 501 and the second anti-collision component 502 are respectively located on both sides of the light source module 20, and the lengths of the first anti-collision component 501 and the second anti-collision component 502 are also greater than or at least equal to the length of the long side of the light source module 20. In one embodiment of the previous embodiment, the first anti-collision component 501 of the anti-collision component 50 is higher than the second anti-collision component 502, but in this embodiment, the first anti-collision component 501 and the second anti-collision component 502 preferably have the same height.

[0106] The length L1 of the anti-collision component 50 projected onto the horizontal plane Q is longer than the length L2 of the light guide 41 projected onto the horizontal plane Q. Therefore, when a foreign object hits the status indicator device 100 from the side, the foreign object will first contact the anti-collision component 50 instead of directly hitting the light guide 41 and the light source module 20.

[0107] Please refer to Fig. 9 In one embodiment, the anti-collision component 50 may further include a protective cover 503 and a waterproof structure 504. The protective cover 503 is located on the base 10 and covers the light source module 20, the light guide 41 and the anti-collision component 50. Here, the protective cover 503 can be installed on the base 10 in a manner of engaging with a groove (not shown) on the inner wall surface 12b of the second recessed portion 12 of the base 10. The waterproof structure 504 connects the light guide 41 and the second recessed portion 12. Here, the waterproof structure 504 is, for example, silicone, and is attached to the connection between the light guide 41 and the second recessed portion 12 in the form of a sealant, a gasket, a tape or a coating, so as to prevent moisture from entering the first recessed portion 11 through the gap between the light guide 41 and the second recessed portion 12, thereby preventing the light source module 20 from being damaged by moisture.

[0108] In one embodiment, the waterproof structure 504 may also connect the protective cover 503 and the second recessed portion 12 , thereby preventing moisture from entering the second recessed portion 12 through a gap between the protective cover 503 and the second recessed portion 12 .

[0109] Please refer to Fig. 9In one embodiment, the first anti-collision member 501 and the second anti-collision member 502 abut against the protective cover member 503 to provide anti-collision support for the protective cover member 503 .

[0110] Please refer to Fig. 9 In one embodiment, the base 10 and the protective cover 503 are substantially coplanar. In other words, the outer surface 10b of the base 10 and the outer surface 503a of the protective cover 503 are substantially coplanar. In this way, dust will slide down the protective cover 503 and will not easily accumulate on the protective cover 503.

[0111] In summary, in any of the embodiments, when a foreign object hits the status indicator device 100 from the side, the foreign object will first contact the anti-collision component 50 and will not directly hit the light guide 41 and the light source module 20. In one embodiment, the waterproof structure 504 prevents water from entering the light source module 20, which can prevent the performance of the status indicator device 100 from being affected.
