[0036] For better understanding and implementation, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0037] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", etc., indicating directions or positional relationships, are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction. Therefore, they cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0038] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art in the art of the present invention. The terms used herein in the specification of the present invention are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0039] The multifunctional line finder includes a transmitter and a receiver. The transmitter includes a transmitter housing 1 and a transmitter circuit board 27 mounted in the transmitter housing 1. The receiver includes a receiver housing 4 and a receiver circuit board mounted in the receiver housing 4. The transmitter circuit board 27 and the receiver circuit board are respectively integrated with various functional modules that realize the operation of the transmitter and the receiver, such as a single-chip microcomputer.

[0040] The line finder in the prior art has the main functions of aligning and finding lines, and has a single function, and rarely has functions such as line pressing, port flashing, POE testing, and NCV testing. Correspondingly, the transmitter housing 1 and the receiver housing 4 of the line finder in the prior art are only provided with interfaces for the line finding function, and no interfaces for functions such as line pressing, port flashing, POE testing, and NCV testing are provided. In order to enable the line finder to have functions such as line pressing, port flashing, POE testing, and NCV testing, not only these functional modules need to be added to the transmitter circuit board 27 and the receiver circuit board, but also relevant functional interfaces need to be added to the transmitter housing 1 and the receiver housing 4.

[0041] Therefore, in summary, the technical solution of the utility model aims to propose a line finder shell, including a transmitter shell 1 and a receiver shell 4, and add working interfaces with functions such as high-voltage line, port flashing, POE test, NCV test, etc. on the transmitter shell 1 and the receiver shell 4, while ensuring that the line finder is easy to operate and small in size during use.

[0042] See Figure 1 and Figure 3 The utility model discloses a line finder housing, which includes a transmitter housing 1 and a receiver housing 4.

[0043] The transmitter housing 1 has a top end 10 and a bottom end 20 that are arranged opposite to each other, and also has a first side surface and a second side surface that are arranged opposite to each other. The top end 10 is provided with a first interface 11 for port flashing, POE testing and length testing, and is also provided with a second interface 12 for network line finding. The first side surface and / or the second side surface are provided with a third interface 13 with a line finding function, a fourth interface 19 with a charging function, and a fifth interface 14 with a line pressing and line alignment function. The setting of this technical solution adds functions for port flashing, POE testing and length testing to the transmitter housing 1. At the same time, the first interface 11 for port flashing, POE testing and length testing is set at the top end 10 to facilitate wiring operations. The third interface 13, the fourth interface 19 and the fifth interface 14 are set on the first side surface and / or the second side surface, separated from the first interface 11 and the second interface 12, which provides sufficient space for wiring on the one hand and avoids wiring errors on the other hand. In addition, the first interface 11 to the fifth interface 14 are respectively arranged on the top 10 and the first side or the second side. The interfaces are distributed to reduce the size of the transmitter housing 1 in a certain direction, thereby reducing the overall size and volume of the transmitter housing 1 and miniaturizing the transmitter housing 1.

[0044] In the above solution, port flashing means that after the cable is connected to the transmitter and the network terminal, the port flashing function is used to make the indicator light in the transmitter display and the indicator light on the network terminal interface flash synchronously to indicate the port to which the cable is connected.

[0045] In the above solution, POE test, POE (Power Over Ethernet) refers to the technology that can provide DC power to some IP-based terminals (such as IP phones, wireless LAN access points AP, network cameras, etc.) while transmitting data signals to such devices without making any changes to the existing Ethernet Cat.5 cabling infrastructure.

[0046] The receiver housing 4 has a top portion 61 and a rear portion 62 disposed opposite each other, as well as a first surface and a second surface disposed opposite each other. The top portion 61 is provided with a probe 41 and an illumination light 42, while the rear portion 62 is provided with a line connection port 51. Surface 1 is provided with a signal strength indicator light group 46, a line search mode switch 47, an NCV mode switch 48, a sensitivity adjustment key 45, and an illumination key 49.

[0047] In the above scheme, NCV stands for "non-contact voltage detection," which is used to determine whether the object being measured is charged. For example, an insulated wire uses the principles of electromagnetic or electric field induction to determine whether there is voltage.

[0048] The NCV mode button has two states: on and off.

[0049] This solution adds a line connection port 51, a signal strength indicator light group 46, a line search mode switch key 47, an NCV mode key 48 (Non-Contact Voltage Detection), a sensitivity adjustment key 45, and an illumination key 49 to the receiver housing 4, allowing the receiver housing 4 to be compatible with the aforementioned transmitter housing 1. This allows the line finder using this transmitter housing 1 and receiver housing 4 to have more functions. The probe 41 and illumination light 42 are located at the top 61 to facilitate detection and illumination. The line connection port 51 is located at the rear 62 to facilitate line connection and wiring. During line connection and wiring, the cable can be prevented from bending or twisting, ensuring cable access.

[0050] In this technical solution, the transmitter housing 1 includes a first front shell 26 and a first bottom shell 25, which are arranged opposite and fixedly connected. The first front shell 26 has a first surface, which is provided with a display screen 29 and a key area 30. The key area 30 is provided with at least a switch button 15, a direction button 16, a confirmation button 17, and a return button 18. In this solution, the various buttons are arranged on the first surface for easy viewing and operation.

[0051] In the above solution, the direction buttons 16 include at least two, such as up and down, or left and right, or up, down, left and right.

[0052] In this technical solution, the transmitter housing 1 includes a first portion 21 and a second portion 22, which are integrally connected. Typically, the first and second portions 21, 22 are integrally formed. The top portion 10 is located at the end of the first portion 21 away from the second portion 22, and the bottom portion 20 is located at the end of the second portion 22 away from the first portion 21. During normal use of the transmitter, the first portion 21 is located in front of the second portion 22. When using the transmitter, the user grips the second portion 22.

[0053] The display screen 29 is located on the first portion 21, and the keypad 30 is located on the second portion 22. This facilitates viewing the display screen 29 and operating the keypad 30. The user can conveniently hold the second portion 22, operating the keys within the keypad 30 with their fingers while still viewing the display screen 29. The third and fifth interfaces 13, 14 are located on the first portion 21, ensuring that the transmitter housing 1 remains accessible while the operator is holding it. The fourth interface 19, located on either the first portion 21 or the second portion 22, serves as the charging interface 50 and is typically used to charge the transmitter when not in use. Therefore, placing the fourth interface 19 on either the first portion 21 or the second portion 22 does not interfere with charging operations. Separating the fourth interface 19 from the third and fifth interfaces 13, 14 facilitates layout and prevents wiring errors that could negatively impact work efficiency.

[0054] In this technical solution, the width of the second portion 22 is smaller than that of the first portion 21, and the second portion 22 and the first portion 21 are transitionally connected by a first connecting bevel 23. A second connecting bevel 24 is provided at the end of the second portion 22 away from the first portion 21. The second connecting bevel 24 gradually widens from the end closest to the second portion 22 toward the bottom 20. This configuration of the technical solution creates a concave shape in the second portion 22, making it easier to grip. This prevents slippage when gripping the second portion 22, while also reducing its width, making it easier to grip in the palm and applying force. Furthermore, the second portion 22 is narrower than the first portion 21, allowing users to actively grip the second portion 22 based on their gripping habits, thus meeting their usage habits. Furthermore, the narrowness of the second portion 22 allows users to operate the various function keys within the keypad 30 of the second portion 22 with the thumb of the gripping hand, freeing the other hand for testing operations.

[0055] In this technical solution, both the first front shell 26 and the first bottom shell 25 include an anti-slip surface layer. The first front shell 26 and the first bottom shell 25 can be a single-layer or double-layer structure. In the double-layer structure, the inner layer is made of a relatively hard plastic material to achieve drop resistance, while the outer layer is made of rubber to achieve wear resistance, anti-slip, and anti-shedding properties. The outer rubber layer is provided with an anti-slip pattern. In the single-layer structure, the outer layer is made of a relatively hard rubber material to achieve drop resistance, wear resistance, and anti-slip properties. The surface is provided with anti-slip wavy stripes, which provide a good feel and comfortable grip.

[0056] In this technical solution, the battery 28 and the transmitter circuit board 27 of the transmitter are both fixedly installed in the first bottom shell 25.

[0057] In this technical solution, the receiver housing 4 includes a first portion 53 and a second portion 52, which are integrally connected. The top portion 61 is provided at the end of the first portion 53 away from the second portion 52, and the tail portion 62 is provided at the end of the second portion 52 away from the first portion 53. The sensitivity adjustment key 45 is an adjustment knob and is provided on the first portion 53. When using the receiver, the user holds the second portion 52 and adjusts the adjustment knob with the thumb or index finger. This is convenient for the user to use and satisfies the user's need to adjust the adjustment knob with the fingers of the holding hand when holding the receiver with one hand. The sensitivity adjustment key 45 is an adjustment knob, which facilitates continuous adjustment and convenient adjustment operation.

[0058] The line search mode switch key 47, NCV mode key 48, and lighting key 49 are all located on the second portion 52. When using the receiver, the user holds the second portion 52 and operates the line search mode switch key 47, NCV mode key 48, and lighting key 49 with the thumb, making it easy to operate with one hand.

[0059] In this technical solution, the signal strength indicator light group 46 includes at least a strong signal indicator light 461 and a weak signal indicator light 462. The strong signal indicator light 461 includes at least two or more indicator lights, and the weak signal indicator light 462 also includes at least two or more indicator lights. Generally, the signal strength indicator light group 46 can also include a medium signal strength indicator light between the strong signal indicator light 461 and the weak signal indicator light 462 to facilitate the operator's quick identification, judgment, and understanding of signal strength. The strong signal indicator light 461 includes at least two or more indicator lights, and the weak signal indicator light 462 also includes at least two or more indicator lights, which facilitates identification and avoids problems such as recognition errors. Furthermore, by providing multiple indicator lights, the signal strength can be further determined based on the number of illuminated indicator lights. For example, if two indicator lights are illuminated in the strong signal indicator light 461, the signal is very strong. If only one indicator light is illuminated, the signal is relatively strong, but weaker than when both indicators are illuminated.

[0060] In this technical solution, the receiver housing 4 is also provided with a charging port 50 and a battery indicator light 43. The charging port 50 is located on the side of the receiver housing 4, and the battery indicator light 43 is located on the first surface. The battery indicator light 43 allows the user to quickly determine the battery level of the receiver and charge it in time to avoid low battery during use, which may affect normal operation.

[0061] In this technical solution, the receiver housing 4 is further provided with an earphone jack 44 , which is arranged on a side surface of the receiver housing 4 .

[0062] In this technical solution, the receiver housing 4 includes a front shell 1 and a bottom shell 1 that are relatively arranged and fixedly connected. Surface 1 is arranged on the front shell 1, and surface 2 is arranged on the bottom shell 1. Both the front shell 1 and the bottom shell 1 include an anti-slip surface layer. The front shell 1 and the bottom shell 1 can be a single-layer structure or a double-layer structure. In the case of a double-layer structure, the inner layer is made of a relatively hard plastic material to achieve an anti-fall effect, and the outer layer is made of rubber to achieve wear resistance, anti-slip, and anti-falling effects, and an anti-slip pattern is provided on the outer rubber layer. In the case of a single-layer structure, it is made of a relatively hard rubber material to achieve anti-fall, wear resistance, and anti-slip effects, and a wavy stripe with anti-slip ability is provided on the surface, which feels good and is comfortable to hold.

[0063] The technical means disclosed in the present invention are not limited to those disclosed in the above-mentioned embodiments, but also include technical solutions composed of any combination of the above-mentioned technical features. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principles of the present invention, and such improvements and modifications are also considered to be within the scope of protection of the present invention.
