Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of computer accessories technology, and in particular to computer chassis and computer equipment. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development of computer technology, users' demands for computer appearance design and personalization are increasing. Ambient lighting, as a device to enhance the aesthetics and user experience of equipment, is gradually being applied to computer cases. At the same time, computer equipment is trending towards miniaturization, and the internal space of the case is very limited.

[0003] In related technologies, ambient lights installed in computer cases typically require a large amount of space to achieve good lighting effects, which is not conducive to the miniaturization of computer equipment. Utility Model Content

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a computer case and computer equipment that address the problem that ambient lights installed in computer cases in related technologies typically require a large space to achieve good lighting effects, which is not conducive to the miniaturization of computer equipment.

[0005] One embodiment of this application provides a computer chassis, including a chassis body and an ambient lighting assembly;

[0006] The enclosure includes a button panel for defining the installation space of the enclosure, and the button panel has a mounting groove that communicates with the installation space.

[0007] The ambient light assembly includes a lamp body and a light guide. The lamp body is installed in the installation space, and the light guide is housed in the installation space with the light-incident end of the light guide facing the light-outceasing end of the lamp body. The light-outceasing end of the light guide is housed in the mounting groove. The light guide is used to change the propagation direction of the light emitted along the lamp body so that the light can be projected onto the outside of the button panel through the light-outceasing end of the light guide. The light-outceasing direction of the lamp body is set at an angle to the light-outceasing direction of the light guide.

[0008] In the aforementioned computer chassis, because the light-incident end of the light guide faces the light-outceasing end of the lamp body, the light emitted from the lamp body can enter the light guide. The light guide can change the propagation direction of the light emitted from the lamp body, allowing the light to pass through the light guide's light-outceasing end and shine onto the outside of the keypad, thus illuminating the ambient light component. The light guide and the lamp body do not need to maintain a large distance; they can be in contact or have a small assembly gap. The light guide (compared to a reflector) does not need to cover the lamp body, resulting in a smaller size. Therefore, the ambient light component in the aforementioned computer chassis occupies little space. In particular, by setting the light-outceasing direction of the lamp body at an angle to the light-outceasing direction of the light guide, space occupied by the ambient light component in the thickness direction of the keypad is saved. Moreover, because the distance between the light guide and the lamp body is small, the light propagation path is short, resulting in less light attenuation and achieving a better luminous effect.

[0009] In one embodiment, the side of the light guide away from the lamp body has a light-reflecting interface;

[0010] Along the light-emitting direction of the light guide, the light-reflecting interface gradually tilts away from the lamp body; the light-reflecting interface is used to receive light from the lamp body and can reflect the light to the light-emitting end of the light guide so as to shine it toward the outside of the key panel.

[0011] The light-reflecting interface provided in the light guide of this embodiment facilitates changing the propagation direction of light from the lamp body, and has a simple structure.

[0012] In one embodiment, a plurality of micro-diffusion structures are constructed on the light-reflecting interface, the micro-diffusion structures being used to change the propagation direction of the light reflected by the light-reflecting interface.

[0013] When light from the lamp body shines on the light-reflecting interface with a micro-diffusing structure, the micro-diffusing structure scatters the light in different directions. This micro-diffusing structure allows relatively concentrated light to be diffused evenly, resulting in a more uniform luminous effect from the ambient lighting component.

[0014] In one embodiment, the denser the area of ​​light received on the light-reflecting interface, the greater the distribution density of the micro-diffusion structure.

[0015] In areas where light reception is relatively concentrated, more micro-diffusing structures are arranged to scatter the concentrated light in more directions. On the one hand, this can prevent local light from being too strong or too weak, making the emitted light more uniform. On the other hand, it can make full use of the relatively concentrated light, reduce light waste and loss, and thus improve the luminous efficiency of the ambient light components.

[0016] In one embodiment, the lamp body includes a circuit board, a light source disposed on the circuit board, a housing, and a diffusion adhesive layer. The circuit board and the light source are located inside the housing, and the diffusion adhesive layer is located between the light source and the housing and is used to diffuse the light emitted by the light source.

[0017] By placing a diffusion adhesive layer between the light source and the housing, the diffusion adhesive layer can diffuse the light emitted by the light source, making the light emitted from the lamp body more uniform.

[0018] In one embodiment, the material of the diffusion adhesive layer is mixed with light-diffusing powder. The material of the housing is mixed with light-diffusing powder.

[0019] The light-scattering powder mixed within the diffuser layer material enhances light scattering, allowing the diffuser layer to more fully scatter light from the light source, resulting in more uniform light emitted from the lamp body. Similarly, by mixing light-scattering powder into the housing material, light reaching the housing through the diffuser layer is more fully scattered, leading to more uniform light emitted from the lamp body.

[0020] In one embodiment, the light source is located on the side of the circuit board facing away from the button panel;

[0021] The side of the housing facing away from the button panel is covered with a first light-shielding layer, and the side of the housing away from the light-incident end of the light guide is covered with a second light-shielding layer.

[0022] By covering the side of the housing facing away from the button panel with a first light-shielding layer and the side of the housing away from the light guide with a second light-shielding layer, the light emitted from the light source cannot exit from the side of the housing away from the light guide or the side of the housing facing away from the button panel. Instead, light can only exit from the side of the housing closest to the light guide, making this the light-emitting end. This minimizes light loss caused by light emanating from directions other than the light-emitting end, thereby maximizing luminous efficiency.

[0023] In one embodiment, the light source is located on the side of the circuit board facing away from the button panel;

[0024] Multiple first microprisms are constructed on the side of the diffusion adhesive layer facing away from the button panel to refract light from the light source to the light-emitting end of the lamp body.

[0025] The diffuser layer has multiple second microprisms on one side of the backlight guide to refract light from the light source to the light-emitting end of the lamp body.

[0026] When the light emitted from the light source in the direction away from the button panel passes through the diffusion adhesive layer and reaches the first microprism, it is refracted by the first microprism, or by the first microprism and the second microprism in sequence or repeatedly, so that at least part of the light can be refracted to the light-emitting end of the lamp body, that is, the side close to the light guide, so that the light emitted from the light source in the direction away from the button panel can also enter the light guide.

[0027] When the light emitted from the light source along the direction of the back light guide passes through the diffusion adhesive layer and reaches the second microprism, it is refracted by the second microprism, or by the second microprism and the first microprism in sequence or repeatedly, so that at least part of this light can be refracted to the light-emitting end of the lamp body, that is, the side close to the light guide, so that the light emitted from the light source along the direction of the back light guide can also enter the light guide.

[0028] In one embodiment, the computer chassis further includes a pressing member, which is fixedly connected to the key panel. A pressing space is defined between the pressing member and the inner surface of the key panel. The light guide and the lamp body are located in the pressing space and are pressed by the pressing member along the thickness direction of the key panel.

[0029] The inner surface of the button panel is provided with a limiting component, which is located on the side of the lamp body away from the light guide.

[0030] The inner surface of the button panel and the pressing component limit the movement of the ambient light assembly's lamp body and light guide along both sides of the plate thickness. During assembly, the lamp body and light guide can be placed on the inner surface of the button panel along the plate thickness, and then the pressing component can be fixed to the button panel, facilitating the installation of the ambient light assembly. Since the limiting component is located on the side of the lamp body away from the light guide, a receiving groove is formed between the limiting component and the light guide, allowing the lamp body to be positioned within this groove. Because one side of the light guide is located in the mounting groove, the mounting groove can position the light guide. Thus, both the lamp body and the light guide are positioned correctly.

[0031] An embodiment of this application also provides a computer device, including a display device and a computer chassis according to any of the above embodiments, wherein the display device is electrically connected to the computer chassis.

[0032] In the aforementioned computer equipment, because the light-incident end of the light guide faces the light-outceasing end of the lamp body, the light emitted from the lamp body can enter the light guide. The light guide can change the propagation direction of the light emitted from the lamp body, allowing the light to pass through the light-outceasing end of the light guide and shine onto the outside of the keypad, thus illuminating the ambient light component. The light guide and the lamp body do not need to maintain a large distance; they can be in contact or have a small assembly gap. The light guide (compared to a reflector) does not need to cover the lamp body, resulting in a smaller size. Therefore, the ambient light component in the aforementioned computer case occupies little space. In particular, by setting the light-outceasing direction of the lamp body at an angle to the light-outceasing direction of the light guide, space occupied by the ambient light component in the thickness direction of the keypad can be saved. Moreover, because the distance between the light guide and the lamp body is small, the light propagation path is short, resulting in less light attenuation and achieving a better luminous effect.

Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a thorough understanding of this application. However, this application can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this application. Therefore, this application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0049] Furthermore, where the terms "first" and "second" appear, these terms are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this application, where the term "multiple" appears, "multiple" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0050] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly.

[0053] With the continuous development of computer technology, users' demands for computer appearance design and personalization are increasing. Ambient lighting, as a device to enhance the aesthetics and user experience of equipment, is gradually being applied to computer cases. At the same time, computer equipment is trending towards miniaturization, and the internal space of the case is very limited.

[0054] The computer chassis in the related technology includes a chassis and an ambient lighting assembly. The ambient lighting assembly includes a lamp body and a reflector. A light outlet is provided on the keypad of the chassis. The lamp body is mounted on the inside of the keypad and positioned near the light outlet. Along the thickness direction of the keypad, the reflector is closer to the inside of the keypad than the lamp body. Thus, the light emitted by the lamp body is directed towards the reflector, reflected, and then emitted from the light outlet.

[0055] To achieve a good reflective effect, the reflector and the light body cannot be too close; a sufficient distance must be maintained between them (along the thickness of the button panel). Furthermore, to fully cover the light body, the reflector is typically quite large. This results in the ambient lighting assembly occupying a significant amount of space within the computer case, hindering the miniaturization of computer equipment.

[0056] In view of this, this application provides a computer chassis and computer equipment. The light-incident end of the light guide faces the light-emitting end of the lamp body. The light guide can change the propagation direction of the light emitted from the lamp body, so that the light passes through the light-emitting end of the light guide and shines on the outside of the keypad, realizing the illumination of the ambient light assembly. There is no need to maintain a large distance between the light guide and the lamp body; they can be in contact with each other or have a small assembly gap. The light guide (compared to a reflector) does not need to cover the lamp body, and its volume is smaller. Therefore, the ambient light assembly of the above-mentioned computer chassis occupies little space. In particular, by setting the light-emitting direction of the lamp body at an angle to the light-emitting direction of the light guide, the space occupied by the ambient light assembly in the thickness direction of the keypad can be saved. Moreover, since the distance between the light guide and the lamp body is small, the light propagation path is short, resulting in less light attenuation and achieving a better luminous effect.

[0057] One embodiment of this application provides a computer chassis including a chassis and an ambient lighting assembly. Please refer to... Figure 1 and Figure 2 The enclosure includes a button panel 100 for defining the installation space of the enclosure, and the button panel 100 has an installation groove 101 that communicates with the installation space.

[0058] Specifically, the enclosure includes multiple interconnected enclosure walls, which, together with the button panel 100, define the internal installation space of the enclosure. Optionally, the enclosure has a cuboid structure, including the button panel 100 and five other enclosure walls.

[0059] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the mounting groove 101 extends through the keypad 100 along the thickness direction ZZ'. The keypad 100 can be made of opaque materials such as metal.

[0060] Combined Figures 3 to 5 The ambient lighting assembly includes a lamp body 200 and a light guide 300. The lamp body 200 is installed in an installation space, and the light guide 300 is housed in the installation space with its light-incident end facing the light-outceasing end of the lamp body 200. The light-outceasing end of the light guide 300 is housed in a mounting groove 101. The light guide 300 is used to change the propagation direction of the light emitted along the lamp body 200, so that the light can pass through the light-outceasing end of the light guide 300 and be directed to the outside of the button panel 100. The light-outceasing direction OX' of the lamp body 200 is set at an angle to the light-outceasing direction OZ of the light guide 300.

[0061] Specifically, the material used for the light guide 300 can be polycarbonate (PC), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), etc.

[0062] Since the light-incident end of the light guide 300 faces the light-emitting end of the lamp body 200, the light emitted from the lamp body 200 can enter the light-incident end of the light guide 300 from its light-emitting end. The light guide 300 can change the propagation direction of the light emitted from the lamp body 200, causing the light to propagate towards the light-emitting end of the light guide 300. Since the light-emitting end of the light guide 300 is housed in the mounting groove 101, the light can pass through the light-emitting end of the light guide 300 (i.e., through the mounting groove 101) and be projected onto the outside of the keypad 100.

[0063] Specifically, one or more ambient light components can be installed on the button panel 100. The light guide 300 of the ambient light component is correspondingly set with the mounting slot 101.

[0064] The light-incident end of the light guide 300 and the light-exit end of the lamp body 200 can be in close contact or have an assembly gap, but they do not need to maintain a large distance. As long as the light emitted from the light-exit end of the lamp body 200 can enter through the light-incident end of the light guide 300, it is acceptable.

[0065] In this embodiment, the light-emitting direction of the lamp body 200 is angled to the light-emitting direction of the light guide 300. Understandably, the light-emitting direction of the light guide 300 is along the thickness direction ZZ' of the keypad panel 100, pointing outwards from the housing. Although the light-emitting direction of the lamp body 200 is angled to the light-emitting direction of the light guide 300, preventing it from directly emitting light towards the keypad panel 100, the light guide 300 can change the propagation direction of the light emitted from the lamp body 200. Therefore, the light emitted from the lamp body 200 can pass through the light guide 300 and be emitted outwards from the keypad panel 100. Thus, the light-emitting direction of the lamp body 200 does not need to be directly aligned with the mounting groove 101. Consequently, the arrangement of the lamp body 200 and the light guide 300 can also be angled relative to the thickness direction ZZ' of the keypad panel 100, thereby avoiding excessive space occupation in the thickness direction ZZ' of the keypad panel 100 and reducing the space occupied in that direction.

[0066] Specifically, in this embodiment, the light-emitting direction of the lamp body 200 refers to the orientation of its light-emitting end, and the light-emitting direction of the light guide 300 refers to the orientation of its light-emitting end.

[0067] Understandably, the angle between the light-emitting direction of the lamp body 200 and the light-emitting direction of the light guide 300 does not include 0° and 180°. That is, the light-emitting direction of the lamp body 200 and the light-emitting direction of the light guide 300 can be inclined to each other or perpendicular to each other.

[0068] like Figure 5As shown, the light-incident end of the light guide 300 and the light-exiting end of the lamp body 200 are opposite to each other along the first direction XX'. The light-exiting direction of the light guide 300 is along the thickness direction ZZ' of the button panel 100, pointing towards the outside of the housing. The first direction XX' is perpendicular to the thickness direction ZZ'.

[0069] The lamp body 200 and the button panel 100 can be fitted together along the thickness direction ZZ' or have an assembly gap. The light guide 300 and the button panel 100 can be fitted together along the thickness direction ZZ' or have an assembly gap.

[0070] In other embodiments, the first direction XX' may also be tilted relative to the thickness direction ZZ' of the button panel 100.

[0071] In the aforementioned computer chassis, since the light-incident end of the light guide 300 faces the light-emitting end of the lamp body 200, the light emitted from the lamp body 200 can enter the light guide 300. The light guide 300 can change the propagation direction of the light emitted from the lamp body 200, allowing the light to pass through the light-emitting end of the light guide 300 and shine onto the outside of the keypad 100, thus illuminating the ambient light component. The light guide 300 and the lamp body 200 do not need to maintain a large distance; they can be in contact or have a small assembly gap. The light guide 300 (compared to a reflector) does not need to cover the lamp body 200, resulting in a smaller size. Therefore, the ambient light component of the aforementioned computer chassis occupies little space. In particular, by setting the light-emitting direction of the lamp body 200 at an angle to the light-emitting direction of the light guide 300, the space occupied by the ambient light component in the thickness direction ZZ' of the keypad 100 can be saved. Moreover, because the distance between the light guide 300 and the lamp body 200 is small, the light propagation path is short, resulting in less light attenuation and achieving a better light emission effect.

[0072] The ambient light assembly can be a strip-shaped ambient light, and the length direction of the ambient light assembly can be perpendicular to the thickness direction ZZ' of the button panel 100 and perpendicular to the first direction XX'. Thus, the light body 200 and the light guide 300 are respectively a strip-shaped light body and a strip-shaped light guide.

[0073] In other embodiments, the ambient lighting assembly is not limited to a strip ambient light, but may also be other shapes.

[0074] Please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 In one embodiment, the light guide 300 has a light reflection interface 301 on the side away from the lamp body 200.

[0075] Along the light-emitting direction of the light guide 300 (i.e., along the OZ direction), the light-reflecting interface 301 gradually tilts away from the lamp body 200. The light-reflecting interface 301 is used to receive light from the lamp body 200 and can reflect the light to the light-emitting end of the light guide 300.

[0076] Specifically, the light emitted by the lamp body 200 enters the light guide 300 from the light-emitting end and then reaches the light reflection interface 301. Since the light reflection interface 301 gradually tilts away from the lamp body 200 along the OZ direction, it can reflect the light, so that the light can be emitted from the light-emitting end of the light guide 300 to the outside of the button panel 100.

[0077] The light reflection interface 301 provided in the light guide 300 of this embodiment facilitates changing the propagation direction of light from the lamp body 200, and has a simple structure.

[0078] Further, please refer to Figure 5 The light guide 300 includes a body 310 and a first protrusion 320. The body 310 and the first protrusion 320 are integrally formed. A light reflection interface 301 is provided on the body 310. The first protrusion 320 is located on one side of the body 310 along the thickness direction ZZ' of the key panel 100. The first protrusion 320 is embedded in the mounting groove 101. The side of the body 310 along the thickness direction ZZ' of the key panel 100 faces the key panel 100.

[0079] Furthermore, such as Figure 5 As shown, the light guide 300 also includes a second protrusion 330. The second protrusion 330 is located at the connection between the main body 310 and the first protrusion 320, and is situated on the side of the main body 310 away from the lamp body 200. The button panel 100 is provided with a limiting groove 102 communicating with the mounting groove 101, and the limiting groove 102 cooperates with the second protrusion 330. The limiting groove 102 has a first groove wall facing the interior of the housing along the thickness direction ZZ', which is used to prevent the second protrusion 330 from moving out of the housing along the thickness direction ZZ'. The limiting groove 102 also has a second groove wall facing the first groove wall, which is perpendicular to or inclined to each other, and the second groove wall is used to prevent the second protrusion 330 from moving towards the lamp body 200. Through the limiting groove 102 and the second protrusion 330, this embodiment further achieves the limiting of the light guide 300.

[0080] In one embodiment, a plurality of micro-diffusion structures are constructed on the light-reflecting interface 301, which are used to change the propagation direction of the light reflected by the light-reflecting interface 301.

[0081] Specifically, micro-diffusion structures can be tiny protruding or recessed structures, etc.

[0082] When light from the lamp body 200 shines on the light reflection interface 301 with a micro-diffusing structure, the micro-diffusing structure scatters the light in different directions. The micro-diffusing structure allows relatively concentrated light to be diffused evenly, resulting in a more uniform luminous effect from the ambient lighting component.

[0083] In one embodiment, the denser the area of ​​light received on the light-reflecting interface 301, the greater the distribution density of the micro-diffusion structure.

[0084] Specifically, in this embodiment, the distribution of micro-diffusion structures on the light-reflecting interface 301 is gradient-distributed. That is, more micro-diffusion structures are arranged in areas where light reception is more concentrated, so that the concentrated light can be scattered in more directions. On the one hand, this can avoid the situation of excessively strong or dim local light, making the light more uniform. On the other hand, it can make full use of the relatively concentrated light, reduce light waste and loss, and thus improve the luminous efficiency of the ambient light component.

[0085] Please refer to Figure 7 In one embodiment, the lamp body 200 includes a circuit board 210, a light source 220 disposed on the circuit board 210, a housing 230, and a diffusion adhesive layer 240. The circuit board 210 and the light source 220 are located inside the housing 230, and the diffusion adhesive layer 240 is located between the light source 220 and the housing 230 and is used to diffuse the light emitted by the light source 220.

[0086] The housing 230 is used to protect the internal structure of the lamp body 200 and can be made of light-transmitting materials such as PC and PVC. By setting a diffusion adhesive layer 240 between the light source 220 and the housing 230, the diffusion adhesive layer 240 can diffuse the light emitted by the light source 220, making the light emitted from the lamp body 200 more uniform.

[0087] Specifically, the diffusion adhesive layer 240 can be wrapped around the periphery of the connection structure between the light source 220 and the circuit board 210. The material of the diffusion adhesive layer 240 can be silicone, resin, or silicone resin.

[0088] In one embodiment, the material of the diffusion layer 240 contains a light-diffusing powder. For example, the light-diffusing powder can be mixed into a silicone, resin, or silicone resin material to form the diffusion layer 240.

[0089] The light-scattering powder mixed in the diffuser layer 240 material can enhance the scattering effect of light, so that the diffuser layer 240 can more fully scatter the light from the light source 220 through the light-scattering powder, making the light emitted from the lamp body 200 more uniform.

[0090] In one embodiment, the material of the housing 230 is mixed with a light-diffusing powder. For example, the light-diffusing powder can be mixed into PC or PVC material to form the housing 230.

[0091] By mixing light-diffusing powder into the material of housing 230, the light reaching housing 230 through diffusion adhesive layer 240 can be more fully scattered, making the light emitted from lamp body 200 more uniform.

[0092] Please combine Figures 5 to 7 In one embodiment, the light source 220 is disposed on the side of the circuit board 210 facing away from the button panel 100.

[0093] The side of the housing 230 facing away from the button panel 100 is covered with a first light-shielding layer 231, and the side of the housing 230 away from the light-inlet end of the light guide 300 is covered with a second light-shielding layer 232.

[0094] The first light-shielding layer 231 is, for example, light-shielding tape, black plastic film, light-shielding coating, etc. The second light-shielding layer 232 is, for example, light-shielding tape, black plastic film, light-shielding coating, etc.

[0095] Specifically, since the light source 220 is located on the side of the circuit board 210 facing away from the keypad panel 100, the side of the light source 220 facing the circuit board 210 is the non-light-emitting end, and light can be emitted in other directions. Therefore, the direction of the light emitted by the light source 220 includes the direction facing away from the keypad panel 100, towards the light guide 300, and away from the light guide 300.

[0096] In this embodiment, by covering the side of the housing 230 facing away from the keypad 100 with a first light-shielding layer 231 and the side of the housing 230 away from the light-incident end of the light guide 300 with a second light-shielding layer 232, the light emitted from the light source 220, when passing through the housing 230, cannot exit from the side of the housing 230 away from the light guide 300 or the side of the housing 230 facing away from the keypad 100. That is, the light can only exit from the side of the housing 230 closest to the light guide 300, making the side of the housing 230 closest to the light guide 300 the light-emitting end. This minimizes light loss caused by light emanating from directions other than the light-emitting end, thereby maximizing luminous efficiency.

[0097] Please combine Figures 5 to 7 In one embodiment, the light source 220 is disposed on the side of the circuit board 210 facing away from the keypad panel 100. A plurality of first microprisms 241 are constructed on the side of the diffusion adhesive layer 240 facing away from the keypad panel 100 to refract light from the light source 220 to the light-emitting end. A plurality of second microprisms 242 are constructed on the side of the diffusion adhesive layer 240 facing away from the light guide 300 to refract light from the light source 220 to the light-emitting end.

[0098] Specifically, since the light source 220 is located on the side of the circuit board 210 facing away from the keypad panel 100, the side of the light source 220 facing the circuit board 210 is the non-light-emitting end, and light can be emitted in other directions. Therefore, the directions of the light emitted by the light source 220 include the direction facing away from the keypad panel 100, the direction towards the light guide 300, and the direction away from the light guide 300.

[0099] The light emitted from the light source 220 towards the light guide 300 can pass through the diffusion adhesive layer 240 and the housing 230 and enter the light guide 300, thus being effectively utilized.

[0100] Light emitted from the light source 220 in the direction opposite to the button panel 100 and the direction opposite to the light guide 300 cannot directly enter the light guide 300. However, since the diffuser layer 240 has multiple first microprisms 241 on the side opposite to the button panel 100, when the light emitted from the light source 220 in the direction opposite to the button panel 100 passes through the diffuser layer 240 and reaches the first microprism 241, at least a portion of this light is refracted to the light-emitting end of the lamp body 200 through refraction by the first microprism 241, or through refraction by the first microprism 241 and the second microprism 242 in sequence (or repeated refraction). This allows the light emitted from the light source 220 in the direction opposite to the button panel 100 to also enter the light guide 300, thereby enabling the effective utilization of this light, reducing light loss, and improving luminous efficiency.

[0101] Optionally, a plurality of first microprisms 241 are arranged sequentially. The arrangement direction of the plurality of first microprisms 241 is consistent with the arrangement direction of the lamp body 200 and the light guide 300. The arrangement direction of the plurality of first microprisms 241 can be a first direction XX' or inclined to the first direction XX'.

[0102] Since the diffuser layer 240 has multiple second microprisms 242 on one side of the backlight guide 300, when the light emitted from the light source 220 along the direction of the backlight guide 300 passes through the diffuser layer 240 and reaches the second microprism 242, it is refracted by the second microprism 242, or by the second microprism 242 and the first microprism 241 in sequence (or repeatedly refracted), so that at least part of this light can be refracted to the light-emitting end of the lamp body 200. This allows the light emitted from the light source 220 along the direction of the backlight guide 300 to also enter the light guide 300, thereby enabling these lights to be effectively utilized, reducing light loss, and improving luminous efficiency.

[0103] Optionally, a plurality of second microprisms 242 are arranged sequentially. The arrangement direction of the plurality of second microprisms 242 is from the inside to the outside pointing towards the button panel 100, and can be in the thickness direction ZZ' of the button panel 100 or inclined to the thickness direction ZZ'.

[0104] Understandably, a typical strip ambient light consists of a circuit board, a light source mounted on the circuit board, and a housing. The circuit board and light source are located inside the housing. The light source is positioned on one side of the circuit board along its thickness. The thickness of the light body aligns with the thickness of the circuit board. The width of the light body is greater than its thickness. Therefore, the light emitted by the light source primarily exits from the side facing away from the circuit board and is reflected off the reflector to the outside of the housing.

[0105] In one embodiment of this application, the width of the lamp body 200 is greater than its thickness, and the thickness direction of the lamp body 200 is consistent with the thickness direction ZZ' of the keypad panel 100. The lamp body 200 includes a circuit board 210, a light source 220 disposed on the circuit board 210, and a housing 230, with the circuit board 210 and the light source 220 located inside the housing 230. The light source 220 is disposed on the side of the circuit board 210 facing away from the keypad panel 100.

[0106] Compared to traditional ambient lights, the thickness direction of the lamp body 200 still aligns with the thickness direction ZZ' of the button panel 100. However, in this embodiment, the light emitted from the light source 220 along the direction away from the light guide 300 and away from the button panel 100 is refracted towards the light guide 300 by the first microprism 241 and the second microprism 242, thereby making full use of the large amount of light emitted by the light source 220. Furthermore, there is no need to install a reflector on the thickness side of the button panel, significantly reducing the space occupied along this direction. Moreover, the thickness dimension (relative width) of the lamp body 200 is smaller, and its thickness direction aligns with the thickness direction ZZ' of the button panel 100, further reducing the space occupied along the thickness direction ZZ'.

[0107] Therefore, the ambient light assembly of this application embodiment, while ensuring good lighting effect, fully reduces the space occupied inside the box, especially the space occupied along the ZZ' space in the 100-plate thickness direction of the button panel.

[0108] Please combine Figure 2 , Figure 3 as well as Figure 5 In one embodiment, a limiting member 110 is provided on the inner surface of the button panel 100, and the limiting member 110 is located on the side of the lamp body 200 away from the light guide member 300.

[0109] The limiting component 110 and the button panel 100 can be integrally formed or separately formed and then connected.

[0110] Since the limiting member 110 is located on the side of the lamp body 200 away from the light guide 300, a receiving groove is formed between the limiting member 110 and the light guide 300, and the lamp body 200 can be located in this receiving groove, thereby facilitating the positioning of the lamp body 200. Since one side of the light guide 300 is located in the mounting groove 101, the mounting groove 101 can position the light guide 300. In this way, both the lamp body 200 and the light guide 300 can be positioned.

[0111] Please combine Figure 5 and Figure 8 In one embodiment, the computer chassis further includes a crimping member 400, which is fixedly connected to the keypad 100. A crimping space is defined between the crimping member 400 and the inner surface of the keypad 100. The light guide 300 and the lamp body 200 are located in the crimping space and are pressed by the crimping member 400.

[0112] Specifically, through the setting of the crimping member 400, the inner surface of the button panel 100 and the crimping member 400 can limit the two sides of the ambient light assembly (lamp body 200 and light guide 300) along the thickness direction ZZ'. During assembly, the lamp body 200 and light guide 300 can be placed on the inner surface of the button panel 100 along the thickness direction ZZ' first, and then the crimping member 400 can be fixed to the button panel 100, which facilitates the installation of the ambient light assembly.

[0113] Furthermore, combined Figure 5 and Figure 8 It is understood that the crimping member 400 has a first surface facing the ambient light assembly along the thickness direction ZZ'. The first surface is opposite to the body 310 of the lamp body 200 and the light guide 300, thereby limiting the position of the lamp body 200 and the body 310 of the light guide 300. The crimping member 400 also has a second surface, which is opposite to the light reflecting interface 301. Therefore, the second surface can be set at an angle to the first surface and is substantially parallel to the light reflecting interface 301. The crimping member 400 may also include a third surface, which is opposite to the second protrusion 330 and limits the second protrusion 330 along the thickness direction ZZ'.

[0114] Please combine Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 8 In one embodiment, the computer chassis further includes a dust filter 500, which is located inside the keypad 100, with its edge sandwiched between the crimping member 400 and the keypad 100. Thus, the crimping member 400 and the keypad 100 can limit the dust filter 500 along the thickness direction ZZ'.

[0115] In this embodiment, the dustproof net 500 and the ambient light assembly can share the crimping part 400 for assembly, saving the use of assembly parts, thereby saving space and reducing costs.

[0116] An embodiment of this application also provides a computer device, including a display device and a computer chassis according to any of the above embodiments, wherein the display device is electrically connected to the computer chassis.

[0117] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
