[0003] Existing effectors generally use all-metal opaque footscrews. The panel itself is not light-transmissive and needs to be fixed to a light-transmissive part to make it light-transmissive. In addition, the existing footscrews have many structural components and the installation and fixing methods are relatively complicated. Therefore, the existing footscrews and their effectors have high material and labor assembly costs, and the complex structure is inconvenient to install. Utility Model Content

[0034] As attached Figure 1 -Attached Figure 3 As shown, the utility model provides a light-transmitting step nail, which is used to be installed on an effector, including a shaft sleeve 3 and a step nail cap 1;

[0035] The shaft sleeve 3 is made of light-guiding material and is used to be fixed on the effector panel and can transmit light to the indicator light inside the effector. When the light-transmitting footscrew triggers the control button and the corresponding indicator light is on, the light of the indicator light can be transmitted through the shaft sleeve 3 to the outside of the effector panel, so that the user can understand the status of the control button;

[0036] The stepping nail cap 1 is slidably set on the sleeve 3. One end of the stepping nail cap 1 protrudes from the sleeve 3 for the user to press, and the other end can pass through the sleeve 3 to trigger the control button in the effector. When the user presses one end of the stepping nail cap 1, the other end will also trigger the control button in the effector to achieve the corresponding control function.

[0037] The light-transmitting foot stud provided by the present invention can transmit light to the indicator light in the effector by making the shaft sleeve 3 out of light-guiding material, thereby improving the visual correlation between the light-transmitting foot stud and the corresponding indicator light, and can also eliminate the need to open light-transmitting holes or set light-transmitting parts on the metal effector panel, thereby simplifying the structural complexity and installation difficulty of the effector panel, and saving materials and labor assembly costs.

[0038] In addition, the sleeve 3 is made of light-guiding material. On the one hand, since the outer wall of the sleeve 3 has a large contact area with the inside of the effector, it can more easily contact the light of the indicator light, thereby improving the light-guiding effect. On the other hand, the exposed area of ​​the sleeve 3 on the outside of the effector panel is also relatively larger, which makes it easier for the user to observe the luminous condition of the sleeve 3.

[0039] In one embodiment, an elastic return structure is provided between the foot-tip cap 1 and the sleeve 3 to reset the foot-tip cap 1. In this embodiment, when the user applies downward pressure on the foot-tip cap 1, the foot-tip cap 1 moves downward and simultaneously compresses the elastic return structure. When the user releases the downward pressure, the elastic return force of the elastic return structure drives the foot-tip cap 1 upward and resets, thereby simplifying the control of the light-transmitting foot-tip cap.

[0040] In one embodiment, the sleeve 3 is provided with a stepped hole 31, the stepped hole 31 includes a large hole 311 and a small hole 312 connected to each other, and a step surface II 313 is provided at the connection between the large hole 311 and the small hole 312. The stepping nail cap 1 includes a stepped shaft 11, the stepped shaft 11 includes a large shaft 111 and a small shaft 112 connected to each other, and a step surface I 113 is provided at the connection between the large shaft 111 and the small shaft 112;

[0041] The large shaft 111 of the stepped shaft 11 is slidably fitted with the large hole 311 of the stepped hole 31. One end of the large shaft 111 of the stepped shaft 11 away from the small shaft 112 protrudes from the end surface of the large hole 311 of the stepped hole 31. This end of the large shaft 111 of the stepped shaft 11 is used for a user to perform a pressing operation. Preferably, the stepping nail cap 1 further includes a cap head 12 provided at this end of the large shaft 111 of the stepped shaft 11. The outer diameter of the cap head 12 is larger than the outer diameter of the large shaft 111, thereby having a larger pressing area, further facilitating the user to perform a pressing operation.

[0042] The small shaft 112 of the stepped shaft 11 is slidably fitted with the small hole 312 of the stepped hole 31, and the length of the small shaft 112 is longer than the length of the small hole 312, so that one end of the small shaft 112 extends into the large hole 311 and the other end extends from the end of the small hole 312;

[0043] The elastic return structure comprises a return spring 2 disposed within the large hole 311 of the stepped hole 31 and outside the small shaft 112 of the stepped shaft 11. One end of the return spring 2 abuts against the stepped surface I 113 of the stepped shaft 11, and the other end abuts against the stepped surface II 313 of the stepped hole 31. The stepped shaft 11 and the stepped hole 31 cooperate to form a mounting space for the return spring 2. The return spring 2 is axially limited by the outer wall of the small shaft 112 and the inner wall of the large hole 311, and its ends are respectively limited by the stepped surface I 113 and the stepped surface II 313. This achieves omnidirectional positional limitation of the return spring 2, thereby improving the stability and service life of the return spring 2.

[0044] In one embodiment, one end of the small shaft 112 of the stepped shaft 11 extends out of the small hole 312 of the stepped hole 31, and a retaining ring groove 1121 is provided on the outer wall of the small shaft 112 of the stepped hole 31, and a retaining ring 4 is sleeved in the retaining ring groove 1121. In this embodiment, the retaining ring 4 is provided to prevent the stepped shaft 11 from separating from the stepped hole 31, and to prevent the shaft sleeve 3 and the stepping nail cap 1 from separating from each other in the axial direction. Such a configuration can also simplify the installation of the shaft sleeve 3 and the stepping nail cap 1. During installation, it is only necessary to first install the return spring 2 into the large hole 311, then install the stepped shaft 11 into the stepped hole 31, and make the retaining ring groove 1121 extend out of the small hole 312 of the stepped hole 31. Use retaining ring pliers to install the retaining ring 4 into the retaining ring groove 1121 to fix it, thereby completing the shaft sleeve 3 and the stepping nail cap 1. When disassembling, only the reverse operation is required, and the entire disassembly and assembly process is simple and convenient.

[0045] In one embodiment, the end face of the small shaft 112 of the stepped shaft 11 is provided with a trigger spring 5 for triggering a control button in the effector. In this embodiment, the control button in the effector is triggered by the trigger spring 5.

[0046] In one embodiment, an annular groove 1122 is provided on the end surface of the small shaft 112 of the stepped shaft 11, and one end of the trigger spring 5 is engaged and disposed in the annular groove 1122. This embodiment simplifies the installation of the trigger spring 5 and improves the installation stability of the trigger spring 5. Preferably, the trigger spring 5 is a conical coil spring, and its small end is engaged in the annular groove 1122.

[0047] In one embodiment, the outer end of the sleeve 3 is provided with a fixed position 32 and a positioning plane 33;

[0048] The fixed clamping position 32 is used to engage with the clamping slot in the effector. In this embodiment, the sleeve 3 adopts a clamping installation structure instead of a threaded connection, which can omit the external thread on the outer wall of the sleeve 3. On the one hand, it can ensure the flatness of the outer wall of the sleeve 3 and improve its light guiding effect. On the other hand, it can also simplify the fixing difficulty.

[0049] The positioning plane 33 is used to locate the installation position of the sleeve 3 and the sleeve 3 of the effector.

[0050] In one embodiment, the shaft sleeve 3 is provided with an embedding hole Ⅰ34 for embedding the indicator light. In this embodiment, the lamp bead set in the embedding hole Ⅰ34 is connected to the circuit board of the effect device through a wire, so the lamp bead can be embedded in the embedding hole Ⅰ34, which can greatly improve the light transmission effect of the shaft sleeve 3.

[0051] In one embodiment, a limiting ring 35 is provided on the outer wall of the sleeve 3, and the outer diameter of the limiting ring 35 is larger than the maximum outer diameter of the stepping nail cap 1. On the one hand, the limiting ring 35 can limit the sleeve 3 when it is installed on the mounting hole on the effector panel to prevent the sleeve 3 from directly entering the effector. On the other hand, it can also increase the light transmittance area, thereby making it easier for users to observe the indicator light.

[0052] In one embodiment, the stepping nail cap 1 is made of light-conducting material. In this embodiment, the stepping nail cap 1 can also be used to transmit the indicator light on the shaft sleeve 3 to a certain extent, thereby further facilitating the user to observe the indicator light.

[0053] In one embodiment, the end of the stepping nail cap 1 that passes through the sleeve 3 is provided with a fitting hole II 1123 for engaging an indicator light. Similarly, a light bead installed in fitting hole II 1123 is connected to the circuit board of the effect device via a wire. In this embodiment, the stepping nail cap 1 can also directly transmit the light of the indicator light, further facilitating the user to observe the indicator light. In addition, in this embodiment, the light bead installed in fitting hole II 1123 on the stepping nail cap 1 and the light bead installed in fitting hole I 34 on the sleeve 3 can display different color indicators, realizing multiple display functions. For example, when the stepping nail cap 1 does not trigger a control button in the effect device, only the light bead installed in fitting hole I 34 on the sleeve 3 illuminates, indicating that the light-transmitting stepping nail is in the ready-to-trigger state, while the light bead on the stepping nail cap 1 does not illuminate. However, when the stepping nail cap 1 triggers a control button in the effect device, the light bead in fitting hole I 34 on the sleeve 3 does not illuminate, while the light bead on the stepping nail cap 1 illuminates, indicating that the light-transmitting stepping nail is in the triggered state.

[0054] The present utility model also provides an effector, including the above-mentioned light-transmitting footscrew. Specifically, a mounting hole is provided on the panel of the effector, and a circuit board, an indicator light and a control button are provided inside the effector. The shaft sleeve 3 of the light-transmitting footscrew is installed on the mounting hole, and the light on the indicator light can be transmitted through the shaft sleeve to the effector panel, and the footscrew cap 1 can trigger the control button.

[0055] The above description is merely an embodiment and does not limit the present invention in any way. Any person skilled in the art can, without departing from the scope of the present invention, utilize the above-disclosed technical content to make many possible variations, modifications, or modifications to the present invention's technical solution into equivalent embodiments with equivalent variations. Therefore, any simple modifications, equivalent variations, and modifications to the above embodiments made in accordance with the technical essence of the present invention that do not depart from the content of the present invention's technical solution shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention's technical solution.
