[0002] In the design and operation of subway systems, safety is always a key factor in ensuring smooth operation, and emergency exit signs are a crucial component of public transportation safety systems. In emergencies, passengers must quickly and accurately locate safe exits, and emergency exit signs play a crucial role. They not only provide clear escape directions but also buy valuable time and opportunity for safe evacuation in times of crisis.

[0003] At present, the LED circuit board of the traditional emergency exit escape indicator light is usually set on the bottom edge or back plate, such as Figure 1 The illustrated emergency exit indicator light comprises a light-transmitting plate 1, an LED circuit board 11, and a back shell 4. The back shell is provided with third and fourth through holes 15, 16. The back shell 4 is secured to a wall mounting base by screws inserted through the third and fourth through holes 15, 16. The LED circuit board 11 is placed on the bottom edge of the back shell 4. Wires 17 extend upward and pass through second wiring holes 14 for connection to an external power source. The light-transmitting plate 1 is fixedly fastened to the back shell 4. The emergency exit indicator light emits light through the light-transmitting plate 1 via the LED circuit board 11, providing guidance in dark environments. This type of emergency exit indicator light has a simple installation structure and is relatively inexpensive, making it widely used in subway structures. However, existing emergency exit indicators have several drawbacks. In the presence of water or humid weather, water can seep into the circuit board or wire connectors, causing circuit failure. Such failures not only affect the indicator light's proper operation, preventing it from providing accurate escape guidance to passengers, but can also further endanger passenger safety.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to design a new type of subway emergency exit escape indicator light that is waterproof and moisture-proof, which can effectively prevent water from seeping into the circuit in the subway operation environment, and at the same time has strong durability, so as to meet the requirements of waterproof, moisture-proof and durability during the operation of the subway system.

The fixing screws 19 pass through the first through hole 13, the second through hole 5 and the third through hole 15 in sequence and are fixed to the mounting base of the wall; the LED circuit board 11 is located on the bracket 8, and the bracket 8 is located in the water retaining eaves 20; the light-transmitting plate 1 is buckled on the back shell 4.

[0022] There are two brackets 8 , which respectively hold two ends of the LED circuit board 11 to provide support for the LED circuit board and correspond to the two third through holes 15 of the back shell 4 .

[0023] The fixing screws 19 are also fixed to the mounting base of the wall through the fourth through holes 16 to enhance the overall stability.

[0024] The back shell 4 is provided with a second wiring through hole 14 , and the waterproof back plate 21 is provided with a first wiring through hole 6 opposite to the second wiring through hole 14 , for facilitating wiring and utilizing the original structure of the back shell 4 .

It is particularly suitable for use in areas prone to water accumulation, such as subways. The design of the bracket 8 and slot 7 structure can effectively fix the LED circuit board 11 and wires 17, preventing the structure from loosening or damage due to external forces or prolonged use, thereby improving the durability and service life of the indicator light. In addition, the structural design is simple, and the various components are easy to disassemble and replace, reducing the difficulty of maintenance.
