Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The embodiments of the present application relate to the technical field of indicator light installation, and in particular to an indicator light module and an electronic device. Background Art
[0002] Indicator lights are usually used to reflect the working status of circuits (power on or off), the working status of electrical equipment (operating, shut down or testing) and the position status (closed or open), etc.
[0003] In the related technical field, when indicator lights are assembled into indicator light modules and applied to electronic devices, the two pins of the indicator lights need to be bent to both sides and then connected to the wires. However, the pins of the indicator lights are very thin and are prone to deformation and breakage during the bending process, which makes it difficult to assemble the indicator light module. After adding the bending step, the installation process of the indicator light module becomes more complicated. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the above problems, the embodiments of the present application provide an indicator light module and an electronic device, which are easy to assemble and save costs.
[0005] According to one aspect of an embodiment of the present application, an indicator light module is provided, comprising a shell, an indicator light and a conductive component; the shell has a first accommodating cavity and a second accommodating cavity; the indicator light comprises a lamp bead, a first pin and a second pin, the lamp bead is located between the first accommodating cavity and the second accommodating cavity, the first pin is connected to a side of the lamp bead close to the first accommodating cavity, and is at least partially located in the first accommodating cavity; the second pin is connected to a side of the lamp bead close to the second accommodating cavity, and is at least partially located in the second accommodating cavity; the conductive component comprises a first conductive member and a second conductive member, the first conductive member is located in the first accommodating cavity, and is in contact with the first pin; the second conductive member is located in the second accommodating cavity, and is in contact with the second pin.
[0006] By adopting the above scheme, the first pin is connected to the side of the lamp bead close to the first accommodating cavity, so that the first pin can be directly at least partially loaded into the first accommodating cavity without bending, and the second pin is connected to the side of the lamp bead close to the second accommodating cavity, so that the second pin can be directly at least partially loaded into the second accommodating cavity without bending. The first conductive member contacts the first pin, and the second conductive member contacts the second pin, so that when the first conductive member and the second conductive member are connected to the external circuit, the indicator light is energized and the lamp bead is lit. Therefore, the above structure of the indicator light eliminates the need to manually bend the first pin and the second pin during the assembly of the indicator light module, and eliminates the need to directly connect the first pin and the second pin to the external circuit, thereby saving assembly steps and assembly costs, and is conducive to the automated production of the indicator light module.
[0007] In some embodiments, the first conductive member is configured as a first elastic member, which is in a compressed state in the first accommodating cavity, with one end of the first elastic member abutting against the first pin, and the other end abutting against the first side wall of the first accommodating cavity; the second conductive member is configured as a second elastic member, which is in a compressed state in the second accommodating cavity, with one end of the second elastic member abutting against the second pin, and the other end abutting against the second side wall of the second accommodating cavity.
[0008] By adopting the above solution, the first elastic member can always maintain stable contact with the first pin in a compressed state, and the second elastic member can always maintain stable contact with the second pin in a compressed state.
[0009] In some embodiments, the first elastic member and the second elastic member have the same length.
[0010] By adopting the above solution, the first spring and the second spring do not need to be distinguished during the assembly process, and the incoming materials can be assembled in a unified manner, so the assembly of the indicator light module is more convenient and the probability of assembly errors is reduced.
[0011] In some embodiments, a clamping slot is provided on the first side wall, the clamping slot passes through the first side wall, and the clamping slot is used to clamp the external conductor.
[0012] By adopting the above solution, the external conductor is clamped in the slot, which not only realizes the electrical connection between the external conductor and the indicator light module, but also enables the external conductor to contact the first conductive member through the slot, thereby simplifying the installation and use of the indicator light module in the electronic device.
[0013] In some embodiments, the card slot is connected to a first adjacent wall adjacent to the first side wall, and the lower edge of the card slot is lower than the upper end of the first elastic member; the lower edge of the card slot is located on the first adjacent wall and away from the edge of the first side wall, and the upper end of the first elastic member is an end of the first elastic member close to the first side wall.
[0014] By adopting the above scheme, when the external conductor is clamped in the slot and contacts the lower edge of the slot, it can contact the upper end of the first elastic member to further squeeze the first elastic member, so that the elastic force of the first elastic member can directly act on the external conductor, so that the first elastic member and the external conductor are more firmly connected and will not be easily separated, and the electrical signal between the two is also more stable.
[0015] In some embodiments, the housing includes a shell and a cover body, the first accommodating cavity is at least partially located on the shell, the second accommodating cavity is at least partially located on the shell, and at least one side wall of the first accommodating cavity is located on the cover body, and at least one side wall of the second accommodating cavity is located on the cover body; a buckle is provided on one of the shell and the cover body, and a buckle hole is provided on the other, and the buckle is located in the buckle hole.
[0016] By adopting the above solution, at least one side wall of the first accommodating cavity and the second accommodating cavity is located on the cover body, and before the cover body is assembled with the shell, the indicator light and the conductive component can be assembled to the shell first, and then the cover body is assembled to the shell, so as to facilitate the assembly of the various components of the indicator light module. The shell and the cover body are connected and fixed in the form of buckles and clamping holes, so there is no need to use additional components to connect the shell and the cover body, and the assembly of the shell is more convenient.
[0017] In some embodiments, a limiting rib is provided on the side of the cover body close to the shell, and the limiting rib is at least partially located on the side of the first pin close to the cover body, and / or the limiting rib is at least partially located on the side of the second pin close to the cover body.
[0018] By adopting the above solution, when the indicator light is installed in the housing, the first pin and / or the second pin may be bent toward the cover body. When the cover body is provided with a limiting rib, during the assembly of the cover body and the housing, the limiting rib can form a certain degree of compression on the first pin and / or the second pin with a greater degree of bending, so that the first pin and / or the second pin can be restored to a certain degree of deformation, which is conducive to good contact between the indicator light and the conductive component.
[0019] In some embodiments, the housing is made of a light-conducting material, or a portion of the housing that is in contact with the lamp beads is made of a light-conducting material.
[0020] By adopting the above solution, the light-guiding material can conduct the light emitted by the lamp beads, so that the installation position of the lamp beads does not need to be limited by the light-guiding performance, thereby making it easier to install the indicator light on the housing and making the structure of the indicator light module simpler.
[0021] In some embodiments, a positioning structure is provided on the outside of the housing, and the positioning structure is used to cooperate with the structure of the electronic device to position the indicator light module.
[0022] The above solution is adopted to facilitate the installation and positioning of the indicator light module in the electronic device.
[0023] According to another aspect of an embodiment of the present application, an electronic device is provided, comprising the indicator light module in any of the embodiments of the above subject matter.

For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood according to specific circumstances.
[0041] The indicator light generally includes a lamp bead and two pins. The two pins are led out from the same side of the lamp bead. The two pins are used to connect the live wire and the neutral wire respectively when in use.
[0042] After the inventor changed the shell structure of the indicator light module, he found that when the indicator light is assembled into the indicator light module, the two pins of the indicator light need to be bent to both sides and then connected to the wires. However, the pins of the indicator light are very thin and are prone to deformation and breakage during the bending process, which makes it difficult to assemble the indicator light module. After adding the bending step, the installation process of the indicator light module becomes more complicated.
[0043] In view of the above problems, an embodiment of the present application provides an indicator light module and an electronic device.
[0044] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2The indicator light module includes a shell 100, an indicator light 200 and a conductive component 300; the shell 100 has a first accommodating cavity 110 and a second accommodating cavity 120; the indicator light 200 includes a lamp bead 210, a first pin 220 and a second pin 230, the lamp bead 210 is located between the first accommodating cavity 110 and the second accommodating cavity 120, the first pin 220 is connected to a side of the lamp bead 210 close to the first accommodating cavity 110, and is at least partially located in the first accommodating cavity 110; the second pin 230 is connected to a side of the lamp bead 210 close to the second accommodating cavity 120, and is at least partially located in the second accommodating cavity 120; the conductive component 300 includes a first conductive member 310 and a second conductive member 320, the first conductive member 310 is located in the first accommodating cavity 110, and is in contact with the first pin 220; the second conductive member 320 is located in the second accommodating cavity 120, and is in contact with the second pin 230.
[0045] The indicator light 200 is used to indicate the status of the electronic device using the indicator light module. For example, the lamp bead 210 emits light of different colors, or the lamp bead 210 transmits the status of the electronic device by whether it emits light or not. In the embodiment of the present application, there is no limitation on the type of the indicator light 200, the shape and size of the lamp bead 210. The indicator light 200 in the embodiment of the present application can be an LED lamp (Light-Emitting Diode Light) or a neon lamp, etc. In the embodiment of the present application, the shape of the lamp bead 210 can be any shape such as round, square, etc. The size of the lamp bead 210 can naturally also be set according to the size of the electronic device.
[0046] The housing 100 is made of insulating material and is used to fix the indicator light 200 and the conductive component 300. For example, three chambers can be formed side by side on the housing 100, the chambers on both sides are the first accommodating chamber 110 and the second accommodating chamber 120, and the chamber in the middle is used to install the lamp bead 210 of the indicator light 200.
[0047] Optionally, the first pin 220 and the second pin 230 can be led out from opposite sides of the lamp bead 210. In this way, the first pin 220 and the second pin 230 are far apart and are not prone to short circuit during the use of the indicator light module after assembly. In this case, the first accommodating cavity 110 and the second accommodating cavity 120 are located on opposite sides of the lamp bead 210. The first pin 220 does not need to be bent after being led out of the lamp bead 210, and can directly enter the first accommodating cavity 110. Similarly, the second pin 230 does not need to be bent after being led out of the lamp bead 210, and can directly enter the second accommodating cavity 120.
[0048] It is understandable that the installation space of the lamp bead 210 is connected to the first accommodating cavity 110 , and the installation space of the lamp bead 210 is connected to the second accommodating cavity 120 , so that the first pin 220 enters the first accommodating cavity 110 and the second pin 230 enters the second accommodating cavity 120 .
[0049] The first conductive member 310 contacts the first pin 220, and the second conductive member 320 contacts the second pin 230, so that when the first conductive member 310 and the second conductive member 320 are connected to the external circuit, the indicator light 200 is powered on and the lamp bead 210 is lit. It can be seen that by providing the first conductive member 310 and the second conductive member 320, it is not necessary to directly connect the first pin 220 and the second pin 230 to the external circuit, thereby preventing the first pin 220 and the second pin 230 from bending and breaking during the process of being directly connected to the external circuit.
[0050] Therefore, the above-mentioned structure of the indicator light module eliminates the need to manually bend the first pin 220 and the second pin 230 during the assembly of the indicator light module, and eliminates the need to directly connect the first pin 220 and the second pin 230 to the external circuit, thereby saving assembly steps and assembly costs, being beneficial to the automated production of the indicator light module, and reducing the probability of the first pin 220 and the second pin 230 breaking.
[0051] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, the first conductive member 310 is configured as a first elastic member, which is in a compressed state in the first accommodating cavity 110, with one end of the first elastic member abutting against the first pin 220, and the other end abutting against the first side wall 111 of the first accommodating cavity 110; the second conductive member 320 is configured as a second elastic member, which is in a compressed state in the second accommodating cavity 120, with one end of the second elastic member abutting against the second pin 230, and the other end abutting against the second side wall 121 of the second accommodating cavity 120.
[0052] The first side wall 111 and the second side wall 121 may be located in the same direction. For example, the first side wall 111 is the side wall at the upper end of the first accommodating cavity 110, and the second side wall 121 is the side wall at the upper end of the second accommodating cavity 120. In this case, the first conductive component 310 and the second conductive component 320 have the same installation direction.
[0053] It can be understood that the conductive component 300 is used to realize the electrical connection between the indicator light 200 and the electronic device. The material of the first elastic member and the second elastic member is naturally conductive material. The first elastic member is in a compressed state in the first accommodating cavity 110, which means that the length of the first elastic member in the natural state is greater than the depth of the first accommodating cavity 110; similarly, the second elastic member is in a compressed state in the second accommodating cavity 120, which means that the length of the second elastic member in the natural state is greater than the depth of the second accommodating cavity 120.
[0054] In a specific embodiment of the present application, the first elastic member and the second elastic member are both springs. The springs are usually made of conductive metal and have a simple, reliable structure and low cost.
[0055] By adopting the above solution, the first elastic member can always maintain stable contact with the first pin 220 in a compressed state, and the second elastic member can always maintain stable contact with the second pin 230 in a compressed state, so that the structure of the indicator light module is more stable and the electrical performance after power-on is also more stable.
[0056] In some embodiments, the first elastic member and the second elastic member have the same length. In this way, the first elastic member and the second elastic member can be made of the same material without having to be distinguished, thus saving procurement costs. During the assembly process, the first elastic member and the second elastic member do not have to be distinguished, making the assembly of the indicator light module more convenient and reducing the probability of assembly errors.
[0057] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, a card slot 400 is provided on the first side wall 111 , and the card slot 400 passes through the first side wall 111 , and the card slot 400 is used to card an external conductor.
[0058] The external conductor is a conductive part outside the indicator light module. For example, the external conductor may be a connecting bar in a power strip. When the indicator light module is assembled into the power strip, the connecting bar in the power strip may be inserted into the card slot 400 so that the connecting bar abuts against the first conductive part 310, thereby realizing electrical connection between the connecting bar and the first conductive part 310.
[0059] It can be seen that the external conductor is clamped in the slot 400, which not only realizes the electrical connection between the external conductor and the indicator light module, but also enables the external conductor to contact the first conductive member 310 through the slot 400, thereby simplifying the installation and use of the indicator light module in the electronic device.
[0060] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3In some embodiments, the slot 400 is connected to the first adjacent wall 112 adjacent to the first side wall 111, and the lower edge of the slot 400 is lower than the upper end of the first elastic member; the lower edge of the slot 400 is located on the first adjacent wall 112 and away from the edge of the first side wall 111, and the upper end of the first elastic member is an end of the first elastic member close to the first side wall 111.
[0061] The first side wall 111 and the first adjacent wall 112 may be integrally arranged or non-integrally arranged. For example, the housing 100 includes a shell 130 and a cover 140. The first side wall 111 is located on the cover 140, and the first adjacent wall 112 is located on the shell 130. When the shell 130 is connected to the cover 140, the first side wall 111 is adjacent to the first adjacent wall 112.
[0062] When there are multiple walls adjacent to the first side wall 111 , the first adjacent wall 112 may be any one or more walls adjacent to the first side wall 111 , and those skilled in the art may configure it according to the shape and structure of the external conductor engaged with the slot 400 .
[0063] By adopting the above scheme, when the external conductor is clamped in the slot 400 and contacts the lower edge of the slot 400, it can contact the upper end of the first elastic member to further squeeze the first elastic member, so that the elastic force of the first elastic member can directly act on the external conductor, so that the first elastic member and the external conductor are more firmly connected and will not be easily separated, and the electrical signal between the two is also more stable.
[0064] In some embodiments, chamfers are provided on both sides of the slot 400 to facilitate the external conductor to be installed in the slot 400 .
[0065] It is understandable that a card slot may also be provided on the second side wall 121 , and the structure and function of the card slot 400 may be the same as or similar to those of the card slot 400 on the first side wall 111 .
[0066] Please combine Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the housing 100 includes a shell 130 and a cover 140, the first accommodating cavity 110 is at least partially located on the shell 130, the second accommodating cavity 120 is at least partially located on the shell 130, and at least one side wall of the first accommodating cavity 110 is located on the cover 140, and at least one side wall of the second accommodating cavity 120 is located on the cover 140; a buckle 150 is provided on one of the shell 130 and a buckle hole 160 is provided on the other, and the buckle 150 is located in the buckle hole 160.
[0067] Both the first accommodating cavity 110 and the second accommodating cavity 120 have at least one side wall located on the cover body 140. Therefore, before the cover body 140 is assembled to the shell 130, both the first accommodating cavity 110 and the second accommodating cavity 120 have at least one end opened. Therefore, before the cover body 140 and the shell 130 are assembled, the indicator light 200 and the conductive component 300 can be assembled to the shell 130 first, and then the cover body 140 can be assembled to the shell 130, thereby facilitating the assembly of the various components of the indicator light module.
[0068] The shell 130 and the cover 140 are connected and fixed by means of the buckle 150 and the clamp hole 160 , so that no additional components are needed to connect the shell 130 and the cover 140 , and the assembly of the housing 100 is more convenient.
[0069] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, a limiting rib 500 is provided on the side of the cover body 140 close to the shell body 130, and the limiting rib 500 is at least partially located on the side of the first pin 220 close to the cover body 140, and / or the limiting rib 500 is at least partially located on the side of the second pin 230 close to the cover body 140.
[0070] One or more limiting ribs 500 may be provided.
[0071] When only one limiting rib 500 is provided, at least a portion of the limiting rib 500 is located on the side of the first pin 220 close to the cover body 140, or at least a portion of the limiting rib 500 is located on the side of the second pin 230 close to the cover body 140, or the limiting rib 500 is located between the first accommodating cavity 110 and the second accommodating cavity 120, and is larger in size, so that a portion of the limiting rib 500 is located on the side of the first pin 220 close to the cover body 140, and a portion of the limiting rib 500 is located on the side of the second pin 230 close to the cover body 140.
[0072] When a plurality of limiting ribs 500 are provided, some of the limiting ribs 500 may be located on the side of the first pin 220 close to the cover 140 , and some of the limiting ribs 500 may be located on the side of the second pin 230 close to the cover 140 .
[0073] During the process of installing the indicator light 200 into the housing 130, the first pin 220 and / or the second pin 230 may be bent in the direction of the cover 140. For example, the cover 140 is covered on the housing 130 along the direction a. Before the cover 140 is covered on the housing 130, the first accommodating cavity 110 is opened on the side close to the cover 140, and the second accommodating cavity 120 is opened on the side close to the cover 140. The indicator light 200 is installed in the housing 130 along the direction a. During the installation process, the first pin 220 may contact the side wall of the first accommodating cavity 110 and bend in the opposite direction of the direction a. Similarly, the second pin 230 may contact the side wall of the second accommodating cavity 120 and bend in the opposite direction of the direction a. Taking the first pin 220 as an example, when the bending degree of the first pin 220 is large, it may be difficult to contact the first conductive member 310 at the preset position, resulting in loose contact.
[0074] After the limiting rib 500 is set on the cover, the limiting rib 500 can form a certain restriction on the first pin 220 and / or the second pin 230, so that the bending degree of the first pin 220 and / or the second pin 230 is reduced or even no bending occurs, which is conducive to good contact between the indicator light 200 and the conductive component 300.
[0075] In some embodiments, the housing 100 is made of a light-conducting material, or a portion of the housing 100 that is in contact with the lamp bead 210 is made of a light-conducting material.
[0076] The light-guiding material may be polystyrene, polymethyl methacrylate, polycarbonate, or the like.
[0077] When the shell 100 is made of light-conducting material, when the lamp bead 210 emits light, the shell 100 guides light as a whole. When the indicator light module is installed in an electronic device, any part of the shell 100 can be made to face the light-transmitting hole on the electronic device, and the lighting of the indicator light 200 can be observed from the outside of the electronic device.
[0078] When only the portion of the shell 100 that contacts the lamp bead 210 is made of light-guiding material, when the indicator light module is installed in an electronic device, the light-guiding material portion can be placed opposite the light-transmitting hole on the electronic device, so that the light emission of the indicator light 200 can be observed from outside the electronic device.
[0079] Optionally, when only the part of the shell 100 that is in contact with the lamp bead 210 is made of light-guiding material, the other parts can be made of any non-light-guiding material, and the light-guiding part and the non-light-guiding part can be assembled together by any means such as interference fit, bonding, screw connection, etc., and the embodiment of the present application does not limit this.
[0080] The light-guiding material can conduct the light emitted by the lamp bead 210, so that the installation position of the lamp bead 210 does not need to be limited by the light-guiding requirements, that is, the lamp bead 210 can be located at any position on the housing 100, even if the position is a closed space in the housing 100, the light of the lamp bead 210 can be conducted out of the housing 100 through the light-guiding material. Therefore, the installation of the indicator light 200 on the housing 100 is easier, and the structure of the indicator light module is also simpler.
[0081] In some embodiments, a positioning structure 600 is disposed outside the housing 100 , and the positioning structure 600 is used to cooperate with the structure of the electronic device to position the indicator light module.
[0082] Exemplarily, a protrusion is provided at a location on the electronic device for installing the indicator light module, and the positioning structure 600 may be a groove. When the indicator light module is installed, the groove is sleeved on the protrusion to achieve positioning of the indicator light module.
[0083] If a groove is provided at the position of the electronic device for installing the indicator light module, the positioning structure 600 may be a protrusion. When installing the indicator light module, the protrusion is placed in the groove to achieve positioning of the indicator light module.
[0084] It can be seen that by providing a positioning structure 600 on the housing 100 that matches the structure of the electronic device, it is beneficial to quickly install and position the indicator light module in the electronic device.
[0085] It is understandable that when the portion of the electronic device for installing the indicator light module is a groove structure as a whole, the indicator light module may not be provided with an additional positioning structure 600, but the housing 100 may be placed in the groove structure in whole or in part to achieve positioning of the indicator light module.
[0086] An embodiment of the present application also provides an electronic device, comprising the indicator light module in any of the above embodiments.
[0087] The structure of the indicator light module and the technical effects produced have been described in detail in the above embodiments, and will not be repeated in the embodiments of this application.
[0088] To summarize, the indicator light module provided in the embodiment of the present application connects the first pin 220 of the indicator light 200 to the side of the lamp bead 210 close to the first accommodating cavity 110, so that the first pin 220 can be directly at least partially loaded into the first accommodating cavity 110 without bending, and the second pin 230 is connected to the side of the lamp bead 210 close to the second accommodating cavity 120, so that the second pin 230 can be directly at least partially loaded into the second accommodating cavity 120 without bending, so that in the process of assembling the indicator light module, there is no need to manually bend the first pin 220 and the second pin 230, thereby saving assembly steps, saving assembly costs, and facilitating the automated production of the indicator light module.
