TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model belongs to power button technical field, concretely relates to power button fingerprint light emitting module light shielding structure. BACKGROUND
[0002] The power button light emitting module structural member is divided into light guide lens, plastic key, PCBA and fingerprint module, and the plastic key is pressed to trigger the circuit to work, and the function of starting the machine is generated, and the fingerprint module has the function of reading and confirming whether the fingerprint of the user is consistent with the pre-stored fingerprint, and the output start command is confirmed after the consistency is determined. The light emitted by the LED on the PCBA is refracted to the outer surface of the product through the light guide lens, and there are usually R, G, B and W four colors, which have the effects of machine working state display and appearance beautification. Since the light guide lens is produced by transparent PC plastic material, the whole body is transparent, but the light on the module needs to be transparent in the specific light emitting circle, so the most important thing in the structure design and production process of the light guide lens is to ensure that no light leakage occurs at other positions around the light emitting circle, otherwise the appearance light emitting effect of the module will be affected, thereby affecting the unqualified appearance of the whole notebook computer.
[0003] In the power button light emitting module structural member in the prior art, the light guide lens uses the same outer circle black paint spraying, but the structure design of the middle position of the lens has positioning notches and shrinkage after injection molding, which causes the black paint spraying to be not in place and the structure gap to be too large, and light leakage phenomenon is very easy to occur, and the production defect rate is very high. Starting from the actual situation, the prior art has two problems: 1. The structure design of the middle position of the light guide lens has positioning notches, and the periphery of the notches is a 90-degree right angle, so that the black paint spraying cannot cover the whole, and the light leaks from the periphery of the notches and then leaks from the periphery of the fingerprint module to the appearance, causing the product to have local light leakage phenomenon; 2. A circle of light shielding glue position in the middle position of the light guide lens will shrink after injection molding, causing a gap between the surface and the PCBA, and light can leak, and then leak from the periphery of the fingerprint module to the appearance, causing the product to have sheet-shaped light leakage phenomenon.
[0004] Therefore, the power button fingerprint light emitting module light shielding structure is needed to solve the problems of the structure design having positioning notches, causing the product to have local light leakage phenomenon, and the light shielding glue position shrinking after injection molding, causing the product to have sheet-shaped light leakage phenomenon.
