AI Technical Summary
Traditional display instruments with digital tubes have limited functionality and cannot simultaneously provide both aesthetic appeal and safety alerts.
A light-transmitting layer and multiple sets of LED chips are installed on the housing of the display instrument. The light-transmitting layer enhances the aesthetic effect by allowing light to pass through from the side, while the LED chips are used to illuminate the ambient light and create a breathing light effect, and also to alert pedestrians on the opposite side while riding.
It achieves an aesthetically pleasing display while improving safety while riding, and enhances the user experience by alerting oncoming pedestrians with side light sources.

Multiple sets of LED SMD beads are evenly distributed on one side of the digital tube PCB board. A digital tube plastic shell is provided on one side of the digital tube PCB board, a digital tube film is provided on one side of the digital tube plastic shell, and a cover plate is provided on one side of the digital tube film. A light-transmitting layer is provided on the outer wall of the housing. The housing includes a base and a top cover. The digital tube PCB board, LED SMD beads, digital tube film, and digital tube plastic shell constitute a digital tube.
[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, and by setting a light-transmitting layer in the shell, the digital tube can provide a light source for the screen while also allowing light to pass through the side light-transmitting layer, which enhances the aesthetic effect. At the same time, when riding, oncoming people can see the light shining through from the side, alerting pedestrians. This not only improves the appearance but also increases safety. By setting multiple sets of LED chip lights, it can be lit to create an ambient lighting effect, as well as a breathing light and flowing light effect.

[0008] Preferably, during assembly, the limiting ring is installed inside the slot, the light-transmitting layer is installed inside the clearance slot, and then the top cover is assembled. The slot on one side of the top cover is also engaged with the outer wall of the limiting ring, thereby wrapping the limiting ring. Then, the top cover and the base are fixed with bolts to facilitate the installation of the light-transmitting layer.
[0009] The present invention is further configured such that the outer walls of both the base and the top cover are provided with clearance grooves, and the inner wall of the clearance grooves is in contact with the outer wall of the light-transmitting layer.
[0010] Preferably, the recessed groove allows the light-transmitting layer to be easily engaged within it, thus preventing the light-transmitting layer from shifting.
[0011] The present invention is further configured such that the cover plate is made of either PC material or glass material.
[0012] Preferably, the cover plate made of glass or PC material not only allows light to pass through but also has a certain strength to protect the internal digital tube.
[0013] The present invention is further provided that a locking block is provided on one side of the plastic shell of the digital tube.
[0014] Preferably, the set card block can better limit the position of the digital tube, so that the plastic shell of the digital tube is attached to one side of the digital tube.
[0015] In summary, the present invention has the following main advantages:
[0016] This utility model incorporates a PCB main control board, LED SMD LED beads, and a light-transmitting layer. By setting the light-transmitting layer in the housing, the digital tube provides a light source to the screen while allowing light to pass through the side light-transmitting layer, enhancing the aesthetic effect. At the same time, when riding, oncoming pedestrians can see the light shining through from the side, alerting them. This not only improves aesthetics but also enhances safety. By using multiple sets of LED SMD LED beads, it can be illuminated to create an ambient lighting effect, as well as a breathing light or flowing light effect. Attached Figure Description
