[0046] Reference Figures 1-8For an embodiment of the display device, the light emitting member 210 and the circuit board 200 are pre-positioned and assembled, the positioning of the light guide member 300 in the front-rear direction is realized, the front-rear movement of the light guide member 300 during the assembly to the display panel cover 100 is avoided, and the assembly efficiency and the positioning accuracy are improved.

[0047] As Figures 1-3 shown, the display device comprises a display panel cover 100, a circuit board 200 and a light guide member 300.

[0048] The circuit board 200 is provided with a plurality of light emitting members 210 (for example, LED lamp beads) and at least one button 220.

[0049] The button 220 comprises a bracket part 221 and a button shaft part 222 located on the bracket part 221. The bracket part 221 can be firmly connected with the circuit board 200 through a pin or other means, for example, welding, SMT patch. The connection mode of the light emitting member 210 and the circuit board 200 can be surface mount technology (SMT) or other suitable connection mode.

[0050] The light guide member 300 is used for effectively guiding the light emitted by the light emitting member 210 to the button 220 or other areas needing illumination. Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the light guide member 300 is supported on the button 220 and has a first positioning part 310 extending downward and at least one first positioning rib 320.

[0051] The first positioning part 310 is provided with a positioning groove 311 with a bottom opening and penetrating through in the front-rear direction. The shape and size of the positioning groove 311 are matched with the button shaft part 222, for example, the positioning groove 311 can be a U-shaped groove, a V-shaped groove or other suitable shape to realize the cooperation with the button shaft part 222.

[0052] When the light guide member 300 is installed from the top to the circuit board 200, the positioning groove 311 guides and accommodates the button shaft part 222, and the preliminary positioning of the light guide member 300 and the button 220 is realized.

[0053] In order to further limit the displacement of the light guide member 300 in the front-rear direction, the rear side of the first positioning part 310 abuts against the front side of the bracket part 221 of the button 220, and the first positioning rib 320 abuts against the rear side of the bracket part 221. The double abutment structure effectively prevents the shaking of the light guide member 300 in the front-rear direction, and improves the stability of the positioning.

[0054] The display plate cover 100 has a key hole 110 corresponding to the key 220 and a light emitting hole 120 corresponding to the light guide 300. The key hole 110 allows the key shaft part 222 to be exposed, facilitating user operation. The light emitting hole 120 allows light guided by the light guide 300 to be emitted, achieving an illumination effect. The circuit board 200 and the light guide 300 can be firmly connected to the display plate cover 100 by appropriate means, such as buckling, screws, adhesion, etc.

[0055] The display device described above positions the light guide 300 in the front-rear direction by the first positioning part 310 and the first positioning rib 320 cooperating with the circuit board 200, achieving accurate positioning of the light guide 300 in the front-rear direction, avoiding movement of the light guide 300 in the front-rear direction during assembly to the display plate cover 100, improving assembly efficiency and positioning accuracy, and ensuring consistency of the light guiding effect. The design of the open bottom of the positioning groove 311 facilitates the insertion of the key shaft part 222, further simplifying the assembly process.

[0056] In this embodiment, the light guide 300 also has at least two second positioning ribs 330 extending downward. The second positioning ribs 330 abut the side surface of the bracket part 221 of the key 220, thereby limiting displacement of the light guide 300 in the left-right direction. By abutting the second positioning ribs 330 with the side surface of the bracket part 221, movement of the light guide 300 in the left-right direction is further limited, and in combination with the limiting action of the first positioning part 310 and the first positioning rib 320, the light guide 300 is fixed in all directions in the horizontal plane, improving the stability and reliability of the positioning.

[0057] In this embodiment, the light guide 300 and the display plate cover 100 are fixedly connected by a clamping structure. Specifically, as shown in Figure 8 The light guide 300 is provided with a clamping groove 350, and the display plate cover 100 is provided with a clamping claw part 130. The clamping claw part 130 and the clamping groove 350 cooperate with each other to achieve clamping and fixing of the light guide 300 and the display plate cover 100.

[0058] The use of the clamping structure simplifies the assembly process, improves production efficiency, reduces manufacturing costs, and also facilitates disassembly and maintenance of the product.

[0059] In this embodiment, a positioning structure is also provided between the light guide 300 and the display plate cover 100. The positioning structure facilitates clamping operation, and the additional positioning structure can effectively prevent the light guide 300 from loosening or shifting after being assembled with the display plate cover 100, ensuring the stability and consistency of the light guiding effect.

[0060] Specifically, as shown in Figure 8As shown, the light guide 300 is provided with a positioning hole 360, and the display panel cover 100 is provided with a positioning column 140 corresponding to the positioning hole 360. The positioning hole 360 and the positioning column 140 form the positioning structure.

[0061] In the embodiment, the light guide 300 has at least one light guide part 340, one end of the light guide part 340 is opposite to the light emitting part 210 on the circuit board 200 to receive the light emitted by the light emitting part 210, and the other end extends into the light emitting hole 120 on the display panel cover 100 to guide the light to the outside. Through the design of the light guide part 340, the light emitted by the light emitting part 210 can be effectively guided to the area that needs to be illuminated, and a uniform illumination effect is achieved.

[0062] When the number of the keys 220 is at least two, the positioning mode of the light guide 300 is that the positioning groove 311 on the light guide 300 is matched with the key shaft part 222 of one of the keys 220, and the first positioning rib 320 is abutted with the rear side of the support part 221 of the other key 220, and the multiple keys 220 are combined for positioning. This combined positioning mode of the multiple keys 220 can further improve the positioning stability and reliability of the light guide 300, and is especially suitable for the case that the number of the keys 220 is large. In the embodiment, three keys are assembled with the light guide, the first positioning rib 320 and the second positioning rib 330 are respectively provided with two, the middle key 220 is matched with the positioning groove 311, and the keys 220 on both sides are respectively abutted and matched with the first positioning rib 320 and the second positioning rib 330.

[0063] In the embodiment, the light guide 300 is roughly in a strip shape, and the first positioning part 310 is located at the middle position of the light guide 300, further improving the positioning stability and reliability of the light guide 300.

[0064] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, but not to limit the present application; although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments can still be modified by those skilled in the art, or some technical features can be replaced equivalently; and these modifications or replacements do not make the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions claimed by the present application.
