Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of locator accessories, specifically to a luminous locator shell. Background Technology

[0002] In current applications of positioning technology, locators are widely used as common devices. Existing locators generally use an alarm to send a location request. However, because these locators rely on alarms, the sound signal is easily masked by ambient noise in noisy environments, preventing users from hearing the alarm and thus hindering their ability to obtain accurate location information. This ultimately reduces the accuracy of the locator's positioning. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings and deficiencies of existing technologies by providing a light-emitting locator housing that emits a beeping sound while flashing lights, enabling users to locate the locator housing more accurately and quickly.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a luminous positioning device shell, comprising:

[0005] The housing body has a cavity for housing the locator;

[0006] A sensor, assembled inside the housing, is used to receive sound signals emitted by the locator.

[0007] Control components, assembled within the housing body; and

[0008] The light-emitting element is assembled into the housing body;

[0009] Both the sensing element and the light-emitting element are electrically connected to the control component. The sound signal emitted by the locator is received by the sensing element and converted into an electrical signal. The control component processes the electrical signal from the sensing element and transmits the processed electrical signal to the light-emitting element to illuminate it.

[0010] The present invention further includes the following: the control component includes a control circuit board, a signal amplification unit disposed on the control circuit board for amplifying the electrical signal in the sensing element, and a control unit disposed near the signal amplification unit for receiving the signal transmitted by the signal amplification unit.

[0011] The present invention further includes, in that the luminous locator housing, a battery portion disposed on one side of the control component.

[0012] The present invention further includes a support member inside the housing body for supporting the sensing element.

[0013] The present invention further includes a fixing member extending from one side of the housing body for assembling the control component.

[0014] The present invention further provides that the fixing component is any one of a hanging ring, a hook, or a magnetic component.

[0015] The present invention further provides that the shell body is made of any one of silicone, plastic or rubber.

[0016] After adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0017] 1. In this utility model, by providing a control component, a sensor and a light-emitting element that are electrically connected to the control component, when the locator continuously beeps, the sensor can receive the beeping signal and convert it into an electrical signal. Then, the control component receives and processes the electrical signal transmitted from the sensor, and transmits it to the light-emitting element to light it up. Therefore, the light-emitting element flashes while the locator beeps. This dual sensory cues (auditory + visual) significantly improve the speed and accuracy of the user in finding the locator shell, especially in noisy or poorly lit environments.

[0018] 2. In this utility model, the control component is equipped with a signal amplification unit and a control unit. When the locator emits a beeping sound, the sound signal on the locator generates a changing magnetic field signal. The sensing element is in this changing magnetic field signal, thereby generating a changing electrical signal. This electrical signal is relatively weak. After being amplified by the signal amplification unit, it is then detected and analyzed by the control unit to see if the electrical signal is consistent with the sound characteristics emitted by the locator. If they are consistent, the control unit lights up the light-emitting element. If they are inconsistent, it is determined to be an interference signal and the light-emitting element will not be lit. Therefore, it can not only amplify the signal for clearer identification, but also perform feature analysis on the signal to ensure that the light-emitting element is triggered only when the signal characteristics match the preset sound characteristics emitted by the locator. This effectively reduces the possibility of false triggering caused by external environmental noise or other potential interference sources. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0024] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0025] This specific embodiment is merely an explanation of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art can make modifications to this embodiment without contributing any inventive element, but as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the present utility model, they are protected by patent law.

[0026] This embodiment relates to a light-emitting locator housing, see reference. Figures 1-2 The system includes a housing body 100, a sensor 200, a control component 300, and a light-emitting component 310. The housing body 100 provides necessary installation space and protection for the internal components, preventing external environmental factors (such as water, dust, and impact) from affecting the internal precision electronic devices. The housing body 100 has an inwardly recessed cavity 110 for housing the locator 500, making it easier for users to carry the locator 500 and effectively preventing physical damage such as collisions, pressure, and scratches. The sensor 200 is assembled inside the housing body 100 and surrounds the cavity 110. The sensor 200 can more comprehensively capture sound signals emitted from different directions by the locator 500, and then convert the sound signals into electrical signals for transmission to the control component 300. Specifically, the sensor 200 is an induction coil. In other embodiments, the sensor 200 can also be a miniature microphone or an audio transducer, or other devices capable of directly converting sound signals into electrical signals.

[0027] The control component 300 is assembled inside the housing body 100 and electrically connected to the sensor 200 via wires. Preferably, the control component 300 includes: a control circuit board 320, a light-emitting element 310, a signal amplification unit 330, and a control unit 340. The control circuit board 320 carries and connects all electronic components. The light-emitting element 310 is disposed inside the housing body 100, specifically on the control circuit board 320. When the control unit 340 receives a signal, it triggers the light-emitting element 310 to operate, conveying information to the user in the form of light. Specifically, the light-emitting element 310 is an LED light. In other embodiments, the light-emitting element 310 may also be other types of light sources. In other embodiments, the light-emitting element 310 may also be disposed solely inside the housing body 100 and electrically connected to the control circuit board 320 via wires. The signal amplification unit 330 is disposed on the control circuit board 320 and is used to receive and amplify the weak electrical signal from the sensor 200. Since the original signals received by the sensor 200 are typically very weak, directly using these signals is insufficient to trigger the light-emitting element 310 to blink multiple times. Therefore, the signal amplification unit 330 ensures that even very small input signals can be effectively amplified. Specifically, the signal amplification unit 330 is a signal amplifier. The signal amplification unit 330 not only amplifies useful signals but also improves the signal-to-noise ratio, ensuring that the control unit 340 receives clear and accurate signals. In other embodiments, other signal amplification modules may also be used. The control unit 340 is positioned near the signal amplification unit 330 and is used to receive the amplified electrical signal and determine whether the electrical signal matches the sound signal emitted by the locator 500. Thus, when the locator 500 emits a beeping sound, the sound signal generates a changing magnetic field signal, which is captured by the sensor 200 and converted into an electrical signal. Since these signals are very weak, they are first amplified by the signal amplification unit 330. The amplified electrical signal is transmitted to the control unit 340, where the algorithm analyzes and processes whether the electrical signal has preset sound characteristics (the frequency, amplitude, etc. of the sound emitted by the locator 500). If the control unit 340 confirms that the received signal characteristics match the sound emitted by the locator 500, it will illuminate the light-emitting element 310 to provide visual feedback, helping the user quickly locate the locator 500. If the signal characteristics do not match, the control unit 340 will determine it as an interference signal and will not trigger any response or will only take appropriate measures to ignore the signal, thereby avoiding misoperation. Therefore, even in noisy environments where sound signals are easily masked and difficult to detect, the light signal emitted by the light-emitting element 310 can be more intuitively captured by the human eye, greatly improving the visibility and perceptibility of positioning, and helping the user find the location of the locator 500 more accurately and quickly.

[0028] In this embodiment, refer to Figures 2-3The luminous locator housing also includes a battery unit 400 disposed on one side of the control component 300 for providing necessary power support. In other embodiments, the luminous locator housing may also be provided with an additional power input connected to the battery unit 400 to power the battery unit 400.

[0029] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 2 The housing body 100 also includes a support member 120 for supporting the sensor 200. The support member 120 provides a stable mechanical support for the sensor 200, ensuring that it can maintain the correct position and posture inside the housing and will not shift due to external vibration or impact.

[0030] In this embodiment, refer to Figures 1-3 A fastener 130 for mounting the control component 300 extends from one side of the housing body 100. Since the locator 500 is small and difficult to securely connect to clothing, backpacks, or other items, the fastener 130 on the housing body 100 facilitates user carrying and increases flexibility and convenience. Specifically, the fastener 130 is a hanging loop. In other embodiments, the fastener 130 may also be a hook, magnetic attachment, or other components.

[0031] In this embodiment, the housing body 100 is made of silicone. Silicone has good elasticity and cushioning properties, which can effectively absorb external impacts and protect internal electronic components from damage. At the same time, the surface of silicone is wear-resistant and not easily scratched. In other embodiments, the housing body 100 may also be made of other materials such as plastic or rubber.

[0032] The above is only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and not to limit it. Any other modifications or equivalent substitutions made by those skilled in the art to the technical solution of this utility model, as long as they do not depart from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
