Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of charger structure, and in particular to a charger that integrates the button function of the charger with the charger indicator light. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of electric bicycle chargers, the human-machine interface typically includes two main functional modules: operation buttons (such as mode switching buttons and reset buttons) and status indicator lights (such as charging status lights and fault alarm lights). Traditional designs generally adopt a separate structure, which requires multiple holes to be made on the charger's casing. Furthermore, the buttons and indicator lights need to be installed in separate steps during assembly, making the process cumbersome and the internal wiring complex. Therefore, a simpler solution is needed to integrate the buttons and indicator lights. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address this issue, this utility model proposes a charger indicator light structure with button functionality, comprising a faceplate, a light guide post, and a light panel. The faceplate has a light-transmitting hole; the light guide post is disposed inside the faceplate, with one side of the light guide post exposed through the light-transmitting hole; the light panel is disposed below the light guide post, and a pressing part is provided on the surface adjacent to the light guide post and the light panel. A micro switch is provided at the position corresponding to the pressing part on the light panel.

[0004] Furthermore, a receiving area is provided inside the faceplate corresponding to the position of the light-transmitting hole, and the light guide column is installed inside the receiving area from inside the faceplate.

[0005] Furthermore, the light guide column and the receiving area are loosely fitted, and the receiving area has a limiting shoulder.

[0006] Furthermore, the faceplate has a locking post inside, and the lamp panel is fixedly connected to the locking post through a locking component.

[0007] Furthermore, when the light panel is fixed to the locking post, the pressing part is in contact with the micro switch.

[0008] Furthermore, the surface of the light guide column exposed through the light-transmitting hole is slightly higher than the outer surface of the shell.

[0009] Furthermore, the light panel is equipped with multiple LED beads.

[0010] Compared with the existing technology, the advantages of this utility model are: the light guide column simultaneously undertakes the functions of light transmission and pressure transmission, and integrates operation feedback and status display with a single hole position, while simplifying the assembly process and improving structural reliability.

[0025] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or component referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.

[0026] In the description of this utility model, "multiple" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0027] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installed," "equipped with," "sleeved / connected," "connected," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, "connection" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can be a connection within two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0028] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2This invention proposes a charger indicator light structure with button function, including a face shell 1, a light guide post 2, and a light plate 3. The face shell 1 has a light-transmitting hole 11. Inside the face shell 1, at the position of the light-transmitting hole 11, there is a receiving area 12. The receiving area 12 is provided with a limiting shoulder 13. The light guide post 2 is disposed in the receiving area 12 inside the face shell 1, so that one side of the light guide post 2 is exposed in the light-transmitting hole 11. At the same time, the light guide post 2 and the receiving area 12 are loosely fitted, and the limiting shoulder 13 prevents the light guide post 2 from excessively protruding from the light-transmitting hole 11.

[0029] In this embodiment, the light board 3 is an LED light board, on which multiple LED beads 31 are arranged. The light board 3 is located below the light guide post 2, with the LED beads 31 facing the light guide post 2. The light from the LED beads 31 is transmitted to the outside of the housing 1 through the light guide post 2. The housing 1 has a locking post 14 inside, and the light board 3 is fixedly connected to the locking post 14 through a locking member 32. A pressing part 21 is provided on the surface of the light guide post 2 adjacent to the light board 3. A micro switch 33 is provided on the light board 3 at the position corresponding to the pressing part 21. When the light board 3 is fixed on the locking post 14, the pressing part 21 is exactly in contact with the micro switch 33. At this time, the surface of the light guide post 2 exposed through the light-transmitting hole 1 is slightly higher than the outer surface of the housing 1.

[0030] With the aforementioned technical solution, when the light guide column 2 is pressed onto the surface of the housing 1, the pressing part 21 below the light guide column 2 presses against the micro switch 33 on the lamp plate 3, thereby switching the function and light. This structure can effectively integrate the button function and the light source display function, making the structure more compact.

[0031] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely preferred examples and are not intended to limit the utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
