[0019] The present invention provides a light emitting structure 100 .

[0020] See also Figures 1 to 3 In one embodiment of the present utility model, the light-emitting structure 100 includes a base 1, an indicator light 2 and a mounting body 3, wherein the indicator light 2 is arranged on the base 1; the mounting body 3 is connected to the base 1 and encloses a housing cavity 11, wherein the indicator light 2 is accommodated in the housing cavity 11, and a light-emitting hole 311 is formed on one side wall of the housing cavity 11, and a first reflecting surface 312 is formed on the other side wall of the housing cavity 11 opposite to the indicator light 2, wherein the first reflecting surface 312 is used to reflect the light emitted by the indicator light 2 and transmit it through the light-emitting hole 311.

[0021] In the technical solution of the present invention, the light emitted by the indicator light 2 diverges toward the first reflective surface 312, and after receiving the light, the first reflective surface 312 reflects the light and transmits it through the light outlet 311, thereby realizing the reversal of the light from the indicator light 2 to the light outlet 311, so that the light can be output in a predetermined direction. By setting the first reflective surface 312, the light output is completed without setting a light guide mirror, and the entire structure is more compact. Compared with a complex optical system, this design simplifies the manufacturing process and reduces costs. Due to the simplification of the structure, installation and maintenance also become easier. The formation of the accommodating cavity 11 can be that a light guide groove 31 is opened on the base 1, and the mounting body 3 is connected and sealed with the base 1 to form the accommodating cavity 11, or that a light guide groove 31 is opened on the mounting body 3, and the mounting body 3 is connected and sealed with the base 1 to form the accommodating cavity 11, or that a light guide groove 31 is opened on both the base 1 and the mounting body 3, and the mounting body 3 is connected and sealed with the base 1 to form the accommodating cavity 11. The present invention does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0022] Specifically, see Figure 2 and Figure 3In one embodiment of the present utility model, the mounting body 3 is provided with a light guide groove 31, the base 1 is used to close the slot of the light guide groove 31, the indicator light 2 is located at the slot of the light guide groove 31, the side wall of the light guide groove 31 is provided with the light exit hole 311, and part of the structure of the bottom wall of the light guide groove 31 is inclined toward the light exit hole 311 to form the first reflective surface 312. The light guide groove 31 opened on the mounting body 3 is used to guide the light emitted by the indicator light 2. The design of the light guide groove 31 allows the light to be reflected internally, thereby more effectively controlling the propagation path of the light. The function of the base 1 is to close the notch of the light guide groove 31 to form a complete light guiding channel to prevent light leakage. The mounting body 3 and the base 1 can be connected in a detachable manner to facilitate the installation, maintenance and replacement of the indicator light 2. The detachable connection can be made by screws or by snaps and slots, and the present invention does not impose any restrictions on this. Through the design of the light guide groove 31 and the first reflective surface 312, additional light guide mirrors or complex optical systems are eliminated, the structure is simplified, and the complexity of assembly is reduced.

[0023] In one embodiment of the present invention, the angle A formed between the first reflective surface 312 and the sidewall of the light exit hole 311 is 44 degrees ≤ A ≤ 46 degrees. The angle between the first reflective surface 312 and the sidewall of the light exit hole 311 is precisely controlled to be between 44 and 46 degrees, helping to optimize the reflection efficiency and directionality of light. This precise angle setting maximizes the efficiency of light reflection and reduces internal light scattering and loss. This specific angle range helps guide light in the desired direction, improving the light intensity and uniformity at the light exit hole 311.

[0024] See also Figure 1 and Figure 3In one embodiment of the present utility model, the light-emitting structure 100 further includes a plurality of indicator lights 2, which are arranged at intervals on the base 1 and accommodated in the accommodating cavity 11. Another portion of the bottom wall of the light-guiding groove 31 is tilted toward the light-emitting hole 311 to form a second reflective surface 313. The angle between the second reflective surface 313 and the side wall on which the light-emitting hole 311 is provided is greater than the angle between the first reflective surface 312 and the side wall on which the light-emitting hole 311 is provided. The light emitted by the plurality of indicator lights 2 is reflected by the second reflective surface 313 and transmitted through the light-emitting hole 311. Multiple indicator lights 2 can emit light of different colors to indicate different states of the device, increasing the diversity and amount of information indicated. Indicator lights 2 of different colors can provide more intuitive status indications to help users quickly identify the device status. By precisely controlling the angles of the second reflecting surface 313 and the first reflecting surface 312, the light emitted by the multiple indicator lights 2 can be reflected by the first reflecting surface 312 and the second reflecting surface 313 respectively and transmitted through the light outlet 311, thereby optimizing the reflection path of the light and improving the output efficiency and uniformity of the light.

[0025] To improve brightness uniformity, see Figure 1 and Figure 3 In one embodiment of the present invention, the light output structure 100 includes a diffuser film 4, which is connected to the mounting body 3 and covers the light output hole 311. The diffuser film 4 is connected to the mounting body 3 to ensure that the diffuser film 4 can stably cover the light output hole 311. The function of the diffuser film 4 is to further uniformize the light transmitted through the light output hole 311, reduce light spots and hot spots, avoid local overbrightness or overdarkness, provide softer light output, and improve visual comfort. By integrating the diffuser film 4, additional optical components can be reduced, the overall design can be simplified, and manufacturing costs can be reduced. The diffuser film 4 can also provide additional protection to prevent the light output hole 311 from being directly contacted by dust or other impurities, thereby extending the service life of the product.

[0026] Further, see Figure 3 In one embodiment of the present invention, the cross-sectional area of ​​the light exit hole 311 gradually increases from the end close to the indicator light 2 to the end far away from the indicator light 2. The gradual increase in the cross-sectional area of ​​the light exit hole 311 from the end close to the indicator light 2 to the end far away from the indicator light 2 helps to adjust the propagation path of light, reduce direct glare, and make the light more evenly distributed at the far end of the light exit hole 311, improving the uniformity of light at the far end of the light exit hole 311 and providing a better visual experience. The gradual change in cross-sectional area also helps to reduce the generation of light spots and hot spots, especially when the light emitted by the indicator light 2 is relatively concentrated, thereby improving the uniformity of light brightness.

[0027] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2In one embodiment of the present invention, the light emitting structure 100 includes a housing 5, which defines a cavity 51. The base 1 and the mounting body 3 are both accommodated in the cavity 51. A light-transmitting hole 52 is defined on one side wall of the cavity 51. The light-transmitting hole 52 is provided corresponding to the light emitting hole 311. The housing 5 is the protective and supporting portion of the entire light emitting structure 100. The housing 5 defines an interior cavity 51. The base 1 and the mounting body 3 are both accommodated in the cavity 51 of the housing 5, providing an integrated assembly environment. The base 1 and the mounting body 3 are integrated into a single housing 5, simplifying the overall structure and facilitating installation and maintenance. The light-transmitting hole 52 allows light to exit from the internal light emitting hole 311, while providing additional protection and aesthetics.

[0028] For further information, see Figure 1 and Figure 3 In one embodiment of the present invention, the light-emitting structure 100 includes a light-transmitting lens 6, which is connected to the housing 5 and covers the light-emitting hole 311. The main function of the light-transmitting lens 6 is to control and optimize the light emitted from the light-emitting hole 311 to ensure the uniformity and directionality of the light. The light-transmitting lens 6 also protects the light-emitting hole 311 to prevent dust, moisture or other impurities from directly entering the light-emitting hole 311 and affecting the light output or causing damage. The light-transmitting lens 6 can be designed into a specific shape and curvature to ensure uniform light distribution, reduce light spots and hot spots, help reduce direct glare, provide softer light output, and improve visual comfort. The diffusion film 4 is provided between the light-emitting hole 311 and the light-transmitting lens 6. It not only diffuses the light to make it uniform, but also, by setting the transmittance and haze of the diffusion film 4 and the transmittance of the light-transmitting lens 6, it can achieve the effect of not being able to see the internal structure of the light-transmitting lens 6 from the outside of the light-emitting structure 100, thereby increasing the privacy protection function of the product.

[0029] To improve the light output, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3In one embodiment of the present invention, a light-shielding layer 61 is provided on the side of the light-transmitting lens 6 facing the mounting body 3 , and a light-guiding hole 62 is opened in the light-shielding layer 61 , and the light-guiding hole 62 is connected to the light-emitting hole 311 . A light-shielding layer 61 is provided on the side of the light-transmitting lens 6 facing the mounting body 3, and a light-guiding hole 62 is provided on the light-shielding layer 61. The light-guiding hole 62 is connected to the light-emitting hole 311, allowing light to be transmitted from the diffusion film 4 through the light-guiding hole 62; the light-guiding hole 62 can help guide the light to propagate in a specific direction, reduce the scattering and diffuse reflection of the light, thereby improving the directionality of the light and the concentration of the light output; except for the area of ​​the light-guiding hole 62, the other areas of the light-transmitting lens 6 are sprayed with black paint, which helps to prevent light from escaping from non-light-guiding areas; since only the light-guiding hole 62 area allows light to pass through, the display width of the indicator light 2 will be consistent with the width of the light-guiding hole 62, thereby achieving precise control of the light display width; by setting the light-guiding hole 62 and controlling the display area of ​​the light, the contrast between the display area and the background can be enhanced, and the visual effect can be improved. Users can also adjust the size and shape of the light-guiding hole 62 as needed to adapt to different light display requirements.

[0030] To install the light-transmitting lens 6, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 In one embodiment of the present invention, the light emitting structure 100 includes a mounting frame 7, which is provided with a through hole 71. One side of the mounting frame 7 is connected to the light-transmitting lens 6, and the other side of the mounting frame 7 is connected to a side wall of the cavity 51. The through hole 71 is connected to the light-guiding hole 62 and the light-transmitting hole 52, respectively. Through the through hole 71 on the mounting frame 7, light is transmitted from the light-emitting hole 311, the diffusion film 4, the light-guiding hole 62, the light-transmitting lens 6, the through hole 71, and the light-transmitting hole 52. The main purpose of the mounting frame 7 is to fix the light-transmitting lens 6 and ensure its correct position in the light emitting structure 100 to control the propagation direction and distribution of light. The light-transmitting lens 6 is integrated with the housing 5 through the mounting frame 7, making the connection between the various components more stable and improving the stability of the overall structure. The mounting frame 7 can also provide additional support for the light-transmitting lens 6, reducing the risk of the light-transmitting lens 6 being broken or deformed due to external forces.

Since the indicator lights 2 are electrically connected to the circuit board 8, and the circuit board 8 is connected to the mounting body 3 and the base 1, this design simplifies the assembly process and facilitates maintenance and replacement of parts; the shading member 9 is usually made of shading foam material, which has good shading performance and flexibility and is suitable for light control; a plurality of mounting holes 91 are spaced apart on the shading member 9, and each mounting hole 91 corresponds to an indicator light 2. This design allows light to pass through a designated position while preventing light from escaping from non-designated positions; the use of the shading member 9 effectively reduces unnecessary light scattering, reduces light pollution, and enhances the visual effect of the product.
