Unless otherwise stated, these directional words do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the scope of protection of the present disclosure; the directional words "inside" and "outside" refer to the inside and outside relative to the outline of each component itself.

[0028] With the widespread use of laptops, users often experience downtime during use. Sometimes, long pressing the power button does not work. At this time, you can only remove the system battery to power on the motherboard again. Business laptops generally have a restart button on the motherboard and leave a hole in the corresponding position of the case. The purpose is to facilitate users to restart the computer when the computer crashes and cannot be shut down by long pressing the power button. However, this opening will destroy the D shell of the electronic device, that is, the integrity of the lower shell structure of the electronic device system end.

[0029] To alleviate the above problems, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The embodiment of the present disclosure provides a light guide lamp module 10, which can enable the light guide column 15 to realize the function of a restart button and can be pressed back and forth to prevent the structure of the light guide column 15 protruding from the surface of the electronic device from being damaged.

[0030] The light guide lamp module 10 provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure includes a light source 11, which is used to make the restart button illuminated by itself. The light guide lamp module 10 also includes a circuit board 12, which is used to provide a connecting circuit for each functional element. The circuit board 12 has multiple circuit nodes, and the light source 11 is connected to one of the circuit nodes of the circuit board 12.

[0031] The light guide module 10 also includes a trigger switch 13, a fixed shading member 14 and a light guide column 15, wherein the trigger switch 13 is configured as a switch node of a movable trigger circuit board 12. Specifically, the trigger switch 13 has a movable touch portion 131 and a switch body, and the switch body is fixedly mounted on the circuit board 12, and the movable touch portion 131 is pushed, which can be connected to the switch node of the circuit board 12. Exemplarily, the trigger switch 13 is at least partially embedded in the circuit board 12, which can ensure the stability of the assembly of the trigger switch 13 relative to the circuit board 12. In addition, at least part of the structure of the fixed shading member 14 is covered on the periphery of the light source 11, and the fixed shading member 14 has an elastic arm structure 141 extending outside its own structure, and the elastic arm structure 141 makes the fixed shading member 14 have a rebound effect.

[0032] Furthermore, the light guide column 15 includes a pressing portion 151 and a supporting portion 152 connected to the pressing portion 151, and the supporting portion 152 is at least partially wrapped in the fixed shading member 14; along the pressing direction of the pressing portion 151, a gap a is reserved between at least a partial structure of the supporting portion 152 and the movable touch portion 131, and the reserved gap a provides a moving stroke for the supporting portion 152 of the light guide column 15, and when the pressing portion 151 of the light guide column 15 is pressed, the supporting portion 152 moves with the pressing portion 151 and pushes the movable touch portion 131, and the movable touch portion 131 triggers the switch node of the circuit board 12 under the pushing force of the aforementioned stroke.

[0033] Furthermore, the length extension direction of the elastic arm structure 141 is arranged to cross the aforementioned pressing direction, so that a pressing force is generated when the light guide column 15 is pressed. At the same time, an interaction force is generated between the elastic arm and the corresponding fixed structure of the electronic device housing 20. The direction of the force is opposite to the direction of the pressing force, which can prevent the light guide column 15 from deforming relative to the elastic arm or preventing the light guide column 15 from escaping from the fixed shading member 14.

[0034] Specifically, considering the installation stability between the fixed light shading member 14 and the light guide column 15, the support portion 152 has a first protruding sub-portion 1521, and the first protruding sub-portion 1521 protrudes from its own structural setting along a first direction. The first direction can be along the thickness direction of the electronic device housing 20, and a gap is left between the first protruding sub-portion 1521 and the trigger switch 13; in actual application, the pressing portion 151 of the light guide column 15 is pressed, and the first protruding sub-portion 1521 pushes the movable touch portion 131 to move. Considering the moving path of the first protruding sub-portion 1521, the fixed light shading member 14 has a first accommodating groove 142, and the first accommodating groove 142 includes at least two openings, and the two openings can ensure that the first protruding sub-portion 1521 moves with the support portion 152.

[0035] In addition, the supporting portion 152 includes a second protruding sub-portion 1522 that protrudes from its own structure along the first direction (along the thickness direction of the electronic device housing 20), and the fixed shading member 14 also has a top opening 143. The second protruding sub-portion 1522 is at least partially engaged with the top opening 143. In this way, the movement of the light guide column 15 can be at least partially blocked at the engaged position of the two, thereby facilitating the light guide column 15 to return to its initial position.

[0036] Specifically, considering at least a partial shading property of the fixed shading member 14 , the fixed shading member 14 has a blocking edge 144 , and the blocking edge 144 is arranged around and covers the outer periphery of the lamp source 11 .

[0037] Further, considering the at least partial engagement relationship between the fixed light shielding member 14 and the light guide column 15, along the pressing direction, the support portion 152 further includes a third protruding sub-portion 1523, and the third protruding sub-portion 1523 presses against at least a portion of the blocking edge 144, so that the third protruding sub-portion 1523 and the light source 11 are respectively arranged on the inner side and the outer side of the blocking edge 144. The structure of the light guide column 15 is further described in detail, and the light guide column 15 further includes a notch space 153, and the circuit board 12 and the trigger switch 13 are located in the notch space 153, and the notch space 153 is arranged close to the first protruding sub-portion 1521 and the third protruding sub-portion 1523, and the notch space 153 is used to ensure the molding of the first protruding sub-portion 1521 and the third protruding sub-portion 1523.

[0038] Specifically, the circuit board 12 includes a first surface 121 and a second surface 122 disposed opposite to the first surface 121, and the light source 11 and the trigger switch 13 are respectively mounted on the first surface 121 and the second surface 122. The second surface 122 has a plurality of endpoints connected to circuit nodes, and corresponding functional elements can be installed at different endpoints according to actual application requirements.

[0039] Exemplarily, the fixed shading member 14 is made of an elastic material. Specifically, the fixed shading member 14 may be made of a rubber material or other elastic plastic material or an elastic and insulating metal spring structure.

[0040] The disclosed embodiment also provides a shell module, including the above-mentioned light guide module 10, and also includes an electronic device housing 20, the light guide module 10 is wrapped and installed in the electronic device housing 20, and the pressing portion 151 is at least partially exposed on one side of the electronic device housing 20. It should be noted that the electronic device housing 20 includes but is not limited to the upper shell structure 21 or the lower shell structure 22 of the housing of the electronic device system end. For further reference Figure 2 The light guide column 15 passes through one side of the upper shell structure 21 to avoid opening a hole in the lower shell structure 22 , thereby saving process costs and avoiding a high probability of wear of the light guide column 15 .

[0041] The disclosed embodiment also provides an electronic device, including the above-mentioned light guide module 10, the light guide module 10 is wrapped and installed in the electronic device housing 20, and the pressing portion 151 of the light guide column 15 is at least partially exposed on one side of the electronic device housing 20. In this way, pressing the light guide column 15 can push the movable touch portion 131 of the trigger switch 13 to trigger the circuit, and at the same time, the light guide column 15 can also be restored to the initial state under the action of the elastic arm.

[0042] By adopting the above-mentioned light guide lamp module 10, shell module and electronic device, and applying a solution in which the light guide column 15 triggers the trigger switch 13 along the pressing direction, it is not necessary to open a small hole in the lower shell structure of the electronic device shell 20 during the process processing, and the light guide column 15 can perform recoverable reciprocating movement along the pressing direction, which can reduce the probability of damage to the light guide column 15 caused by impact. At the same time, when operating, there is no need to flip the machine to operate, thereby increasing the service life of the restart button or the restart indicator light.

[0043] The technical features of the above-described embodiments may be arbitrarily combined. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0044] The above-described embodiments only express several implementation methods of the present application, and the descriptions thereof are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be pointed out that, for a person of ordinary skill in the art, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present application, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent application shall be subject to the attached claims.
