Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a sealed light guide column structure of a household energy storage device. Background Art
[0002] With the increasing popularity of home energy storage systems and technological advancements, users are placing higher demands on the design and functionality of these devices. Currently, most home energy storage systems on the market use triode lamp beads combined with light-guiding PC (polycarbonate) sheets or light strips as indicator lights. While this design can generally provide status indication, its appearance does not align with the trend of modern home energy storage products becoming more and more like household appliances.
[0003] In particular, designs using light-guiding PC sheets may experience fading, deformation, or even warping due to material aging during long-term use. These problems not only affect the aesthetics of the product, but may also cause a decrease in sealing performance and increase the risk of water ingress, thereby affecting the overall reliability and service life of the equipment.
[0004] To address these issues, a sealed light guide structure for household energy storage devices has been proposed. This structure abandons the traditional PC sheet lamination method and adopts a design concept that integrates sealing components. This allows the light guide structure to meet IP65 protection requirements while ensuring sealing performance. Furthermore, this design effectively prevents light crosstalk caused by light scattering, further improving the product's user experience and technical level. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of the present utility model is to provide a sealed light guide column structure for a household energy storage device to solve at least one of the technical problems mentioned in the above background technology.
