It is suitable for the use scenario of open transmission of indicator light information.

[0003] The inventor has found that the indicator lights in the prior art have at least the following disadvantages:

[0004] The user needs to observe whether the indicator light is on from a set angle, which has great limitations in use. Utility Model Content

[0005] The utility model aims to provide a ring-shaped indicator light assembly, which can expand the display area so that the user can obtain the working status of the indicator light in time from different angles and directions.

[0006] The embodiment of the utility model is achieved as follows:

[0007] In a first aspect, the utility model provides a ring indicator light assembly, comprising:

[0008] A shell and an annular light strip, wherein an annular light-transmitting portion is arranged on the peripheral wall of the shell, the annular light strip is installed in the shell, and the annular light-transmitting portion is arranged around the annular light strip.

[0009] In an optional embodiment, a positioning structure is provided in the housing, and the annular light strip is sleeved outside the positioning structure.

[0010] Based on the above solution, the annular light strip relies on the positioning structure for positioning, the position of the annular light strip is stable, the installation is convenient, and it is not easy to deform during use. It has a long service life and reduces the cost of later inspection and maintenance.

[0011] In an optional embodiment, the positioning structure is configured as a positioning ring, and the inner circumference of the annular light strip is in contact with the outer circumference of the positioning ring.

[0012] Based on the above solution, the inner circumference of the annular light strip can fit with the outer circumference of the positioning ring, the contact area between the annular light strip and the positioning ring is large, the supporting and positioning effect of the positioning ring is good, and the position of the annular light strip is more stable and secure.

[0013] In an optional embodiment, the positioning ring includes a plurality of bending portions arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction thereof and a connecting portion connecting two adjacent bending portions, wherein the angle of the bending portion is set to an acute angle, and the connecting portion is recessed toward the middle of the annular light strip compared to the two bending portions connected thereto.

[0014] Based on the above scheme, the annular light belt is installed outside the positioning ring, and the shape of the annular light belt is basically the same as that of the positioning ring. At the bend, the annular light belt forms a concave-convex structure, and because the bend is an acute angle, the length of the annular light belt at the bend is longer than that of the right-angle structure. The length of the annular light belt distributed at the bend increases, the luminous area increases, the brightness at the bend can be increased, and the use of the annular light belt is more convenient. In addition, because the annular light belt forms a concave-convex structure at the position corresponding to the bend of the positioning ring, the tension of the annular light belt can be increased, so that the annular light belt and the positioning ring are more tightly combined, the combination force is increased, and the position of the annular light belt relative to the positioning ring is more stable and reliable.

[0015] In an optional embodiment, the bending portion includes a first straight plate, a curved transition plate, and a second straight plate connected in sequence, the first straight plate and the second straight plate are connected to both sides of the curved transition plate, and the first straight plate and the second straight plate are arranged at an acute angle; the connecting portion is connected to the first straight plate or the second straight plate.

[0016] Based on the above solution, the position of the annular light strip corresponding to the arc-shaped transition plate is also arc-shaped, the annular light strip is more convenient to process, and it is not easy to have large cracks in the annular light strip at the bending part, and the annular light strip emits light more evenly.

[0017] In an optional embodiment, the outer shell includes a front shell, a light-transmitting cover and a bottom shell, the light-transmitting cover is arranged between the front shell and the bottom shell, and the front shell is fixedly connected to the bottom shell; the annular light-transmitting portion is arranged on the light-transmitting cover; the annular light strip is arranged on the front shell or the bottom shell.

[0018] Based on the above scheme, the structure of the shell is simple, and the split structure is adopted, which is easy to manufacture and disassemble, and is convenient for subsequent inspection or maintenance. The ring light belt is positioned by the front shell, the light cover and the bottom shell, and the position of the ring light belt is firm and reliable. The ring light cover is directly clamped between the front shell and the bottom shell, which reduces the difficulty of processing and reduces the processing cost.

[0020] Based on the above solution, after the ring light strip is powered on, the emitted light first passes through the light-uniform inner circle, so that the point light beam is dispersed to form a surface light beam. The light emitted from the light-emitting outer circle of the ring light strip is softer, and the display effect of the ring light strip is better. Users observe that the ring light strip is a uniform aperture rather than multiple independent light spots.

[0021] In an optional embodiment, the surface shell and the bottom shell are fixedly connected by fasteners.

[0022] Based on the above solution, the connection method between the front shell and the bottom shell is simple, the assembly is convenient and the efficiency is high. It should be understood that the fastener can be but not limited to bolts or screws.

[0023] In an optional embodiment, the surface shell is clamped with one side of the light-transmitting cover, and the bottom shell is clamped with the other side of the light-transmitting cover.

[0024] Based on the above solution, the front shell and the bottom shell cooperate with each other, the light cover is clamped more stably, the light cover will not move loose relative to the front shell and the bottom shell, will not collide with the annular light strip, will not affect the display effect of the annular light strip, and is safer to use.

[0025] In an optional embodiment, the annular light strip is configured as an RGB light strip.

[0026] Based on the above solution, the annular light strip has low cost, good display effect and long service life.

One is installed on the same surface of the display screen and placed above the display screen. Users standing in front of the display screen can clearly and quickly receive the command information issued by the indicator lights. It is mainly suitable for use scenarios where information is transmitted to users in front of the display screen. The other is installed on the top of the display instrument. The structural shape has a small part raised. Its feature is that people around the display screen can see the command information issued by the indicator lights. It is suitable for use scenarios where open-type indicator light information is transmitted. Both display modes of the indicator lights are suitable for users who set the angle to observe. They are inconvenient to use and have poor prompting effects.

[0043] In view of this, the designer provides a ring indicator light assembly that can form a ring-shaped light area when lit, has a wide display range, a high probability of being obtained by users, and a good prompt effect.

[0044] Please combine Figure 1-Figure 4In this embodiment, the annular indicator light assembly includes a housing 100 and an annular light strip 200. An annular light-transmitting portion is provided on the peripheral wall of the housing 100. The annular light strip 200 is installed in the housing 100. The annular light-transmitting portion is provided around the annular light strip 200.

[0045] Based on the above, the working method of the ring indicator light assembly provided in this embodiment is as follows:

[0046] An annular light strip 200 is arranged inside the outer shell 100, and the annular light strip 200 corresponds to the annular light-transmitting portion on the outer shell 100. After the annular light strip 200 is powered on and lit, the emitted light can be emitted from the annular light-transmitting portion to form an annular bright light area with good display effect, so that users at different directions and angles can obtain the working status of the indicator light. The probability of the user obtaining the lit state of the annular light strip 200 is high, and the prompt effect is good.

[0047] The following embodiments illustrate the details of the ring indicator light assembly provided by the present application by way of examples.

[0048] Please combine Figure 2-Figure 4 In this embodiment, optionally, a positioning structure 110 is provided inside the housing 100 , and the annular light strip 200 is sleeved outside the positioning structure 110 .

[0050] Optionally, the positioning structure 110 is configured as a positioning ring, and the inner circumference of the annular light strip 200 fits the outer circumference of the positioning ring. With this design, the inner circumference of the annular light strip 200 can fit the outer circumference of the positioning ring, the contact area between the annular light strip 200 and the positioning ring is large, the positioning ring has a good supporting and positioning effect on the annular light strip 200, and the position of the annular light strip 200 is more stable and secure.

Furthermore, the positioning ring is an annular plate structure, which is easy to process and manufacture, and has less consumables, light weight, and low manufacturing cost.

[0052] During actual assembly, the annular light strip 200 is installed outside the positioning ring. The shape of the annular light strip 200 is basically consistent with the shape of the positioning ring. At the bend 111, the annular light strip 200 forms a concave-convex structure. Since the bend 111 is an acute angle, compared with the right-angle structure, the length of the annular light strip 200 at the bend 111 is longer, the length of the annular light strip 200 distributed at the bend 111 is increased, the luminous area is increased, the brightness at the bend 111 can be increased, and the use of the annular light strip 200 is more convenient. In addition, since the annular light strip 200 forms a concave-convex structure at the position corresponding to the bend 111 of the positioning ring, the tension of the annular light strip 200 can be increased, so that the annular light strip 200 and the positioning ring are more closely combined, the combination force is increased, and the position of the annular light strip 200 relative to the positioning ring is more stable and reliable.

[0053] It should be understood that the positioning ring is a rectangular ring, and the four bending portions 111 of the positioning ring form four protruding support areas, and the four connecting portions 115 form four recessed support areas, so that the annular light strip 200 forms a shape with four protrusions and four recesses, and the annular light strip 200 is stably and reliably combined with the positioning ring.

The position of the annular light strip 200 corresponding to the arc-shaped transition plate 113 is also arc-shaped, the annular light strip 200 is more convenient to process, and it is not easy to have a large crack of the annular light strip 200 at the bending portion 111, and the annular light strip 200 emits light more evenly.

[0055] In this embodiment, optionally, the housing 100 includes a face shell 120, a light-transmitting cover 130 and a bottom shell 140, wherein the light-transmitting cover 130 is disposed between the face shell 120 and the bottom shell 140, and the face shell 120 and the bottom shell 140 are fixedly connected; the annular light-transmitting portion is disposed on the light-transmitting cover 130; and the annular light strip 200 is disposed on the face shell 120 or the bottom shell 140. The structure of the housing 100 is simple, and it adopts a split structure, which is convenient for processing and manufacturing, and convenient for disassembly and assembly, and is convenient for subsequent inspection or maintenance. The annular light strip 200 is positioned by the face shell 120, the light-transmitting cover 130 and the bottom shell 140, and the position of the annular light strip 200 is firm and reliable. And the annular light-transmitting cover 130 is directly clamped between the face shell 120 and the bottom shell 140, which reduces the processing difficulty and reduces the processing cost.

[0056] It should be noted that the front shell 120 and the bottom shell 140 can be fixedly connected by fasteners 150. The connection method between the front shell 120 and the bottom shell 140 is simple, convenient to assemble, and efficient. It should be understood that the fasteners 150 can be, but are not limited to, bolts or screws.

[0057] In addition, the positioning structure 110 can be arranged on the plate surface of the front shell 120 facing the bottom shell 140. During assembly, the annular light strip 200 is sleeved outside the positioning structure 110, and the light-transmitting cover 130 is installed between the front shell 120 and the bottom shell 140. After adjusting the position, the front shell 120 and the bottom shell 140 are connected by the fastener 150, and the light-transmitting cover 130 is clamped to realize the fixed connection of the front shell 120, the light-transmitting cover 130 and the bottom shell 140.

[0058] Please combine Figure 3 In this embodiment, the light-transmitting cover 130 optionally includes a light-distributing inner ring 131 and a light-emitting outer ring 132.

After the annular light strip 200 is powered on, the emitted light first passes through the light-distributing inner ring 131, so that the point light beam is dispersed to form a surface light beam. The light emitted from the light-emitting outer ring 132 of the annular light strip 200 is softer, and the display effect of the annular light strip 200 is better. The user observes that the annular light strip 200 is a uniform aperture, rather than a plurality of independent light spots.

[0059] Furthermore, the face shell 120 is clamped with one side of the light-transmitting cover 130, and the bottom shell 140 is clamped with the other side of the light-transmitting cover 130. After the face shell 120 and the bottom shell 140 are locked by the fastener 150, the cooperation between the two can clamp the light-transmitting cover 130 more stably, and the light-transmitting cover 130 will not move or loosen relative to the face shell 120 and the bottom shell 140, will not collide with the annular light strip 200, will not affect the display effect of the annular light strip 200, and will be safer to use.
