Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application according to the specific circumstances.

[0032] The following reference Figures 1 to 4 This application describes the status indication device and electronic device according to embodiments thereof.

[0033] Firstly, see [the following] Figures 2 to 3 As shown, an embodiment of this application provides a status indication device, which includes: a fixed body 1, a mounting base 2, a display panel 4, and an indication component 3. The fixed body 1 is used to install the device at a designated location on an electronic or electrical device using the status indication device. The display panel 4 and the mounting base 2 are respectively disposed on the fixed body 1. The indication component 3 is disposed on the mounting base 2. The indication component 3 includes at least a first indicator light and a second indicator light 302. The first and second indicator lights 302 can display at least two different indication messages on the display panel 4, allowing the user to intuitively obtain the corresponding indication information. It should be noted that this status indication device is particularly suitable for mobile energy storage devices (hereinafter referred to as devices).

[0034] Specifically, the fixing body 1 is flat. After the fixing body 1 is installed in the designated position, a display panel 4 is partially provided on the outer surface of the fixing body 1. Preferably, the display panel 4 is located at the center of the fixing body 1. The mounting base 2 is provided on the inner surface of the fixing body 1. The mounting base 2 is provided on the inner surface of the fixing body 1 with its back to the display panel 4. This way, after the status indicator is installed in the designated position, both the mounting base 2 and the indicator component 3 are built-in, and the corresponding indicator information is only generated on the display panel 4, ensuring the intuitiveness of the indicator information and improving the aesthetics of the status indicator.

[0035] The mounting base 2 includes a first mounting cavity 201 and a second mounting cavity 202. The first mounting cavity 201, the second mounting cavity 202, and the third mounting cavity 203 are all recessed relative to the inner surface of the fixing body 1 to form a groove structure, so that each cavity is independently arranged. The first mounting cavity 201 is located at the center of the mounting base 2, and the second mounting cavity 202 is located on the side of the first mounting cavity 201. The third mounting cavity 203 is located on the side of the first mounting cavity 201. Preferably, there are multiple third mounting cavities 203; more preferably, there are four third mounting cavities 203, with two third mounting cavities 203 located on one side of the first mounting cavity 201, and the other two third mounting cavities 203 symmetrically arranged on the other side of the first mounting cavity 201, with adjacent third mounting cavities 203 also spaced apart and independently arranged. Preferably, the first mounting cavity 201 has a circular groove structure, the second mounting cavity 202 has a circular groove structure, and the four third mounting cavities 203 are all elongated grooves with an arc, but the shapes of the four third mounting cavities 203 do not have to be exactly the same.

[0036] The display panel 4 includes a first display area 401, a second display area 402, and a third display area 403. All three display areas are translucent, and their shapes are different. The shape of the first display area 401 matches the shape of the first mounting cavity 201, and the first display area 401 is directly opposite the first mounting cavity 201. The shape of the second display area 402 matches the shape of the second mounting cavity 202, and the second display area 402 is directly opposite the second mounting cavity 202. The number of third display areas 403 is the same as the number of third mounting cavities 203, and they are arranged facing each other. Each group of mutually facing third display areas 403 matches the shape of the fourth mounting cavity.

[0037] The indicator component 3 includes a first indicator light, which is disposed in the first mounting cavity 201. When the first indicator light is lit, its light can illuminate the first display area 401, thereby illuminating the first display area 401. Further, the indicator component 3 also includes a control button 301, which can be a power button, a mechanical button inserted into the first display area 401, or a common touch button. The first indicator light is electrically connected to the control button 301, integrating it into the control button 301. When the control button 301 is turned on, the first indicator light illuminates simultaneously, illuminating the first display area 401. When the control button 301 is turned off, the second indicator light 302 turns off, and the second display area 402 is also in a non-illuminating state. Preferably, the first indicator light is a green LED. Thus, the first indicator light and the control button 301 can form a power indicator light for a device using this status indicator device. The on / off status of the device is indicated by the lighting and extinguishing of the first indicator light, such as: solid green: indicating the device is on; green off: indicating the device is off.

[0038] The indicator component 3 also includes a second indicator light 302, which is disposed in the second mounting cavity 202. Preferably, the second indicator light 302 is a red-green dual-color LED. More preferably, both the red and green LEDs can flash. Different color combinations and flashing frequencies indicate different states of the device. For example, solid green indicates that the device is in normal working condition; flashing red indicates that the device has malfunctioned or needs maintenance; flashing green indicates that the device is charging. The status indication is clear. Through the combination of red and green dual-color LEDs, users can quickly and accurately understand the working status of the device, reducing the possibility of misoperation.

[0039] The indicator component 3 also includes a third indicator light 303. There are multiple third indicator lights 303. Preferably, the number of third indicator lights 303 is the same as the number of third mounting cavities 203 and they are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence. Each third mounting cavity 203 contains one third indicator light 303. Preferably, all third indicator lights 303 are flashing green LED beads. Each third indicator light 303 can illuminate a corresponding display area. For example, when the third indicator light 303 in the first mounting cavity 201 is lit, the third display area 403 is illuminated. Similarly, the number of lit display areas reflects the device's battery status. For example: 1-2 lit LEDs indicate a battery level between 0% and 50%; 3-4 lit LEDs indicate a battery level between 50% and 100%; flashing green indicates a battery level below 10%, reminding the user to charge. When the four third indicator lights 303 alternately display battery levels and cycle repeatedly, it indicates that the device is charging. Through the change in brightness areas, the user can intuitively understand the remaining battery power of the device, avoiding problems such as sudden device shutdown due to insufficient power. The first indicator light, the second indicator light 302, and the third indicator light 303 all use LED beads, which have low power consumption and can effectively reduce the energy consumption of the equipment.

[0040] It should be noted that the specific implementation method of the remaining capacity display of the mobile energy storage device is an existing mature technology, which can be fully understood by those skilled in the art, and is not the focus of protection of this application, so it will not be elaborated on here.

[0041] Furthermore, this status indicator device also includes a control board 6, which is disposed on the side surface of the fixed body 1 where the mounting base 2 is located. The control board 6 is specifically a PCB, a common type in the prior art. The first indicator light, the third indicator light 303, and the control button 301 integrating the second indicator light 302 are electrically connected to the control board 6. The control board 6 is connected to the circuit board of the device to enable the indicator component 3 to reflect various states of the device. It should be noted that the specific implementation method of the control board 6 controlling the lighting, extinguishing, and flashing of each LED is a mature existing technology and is not the focus of this application. Those skilled in the art can fully understand this and will not elaborate further.

[0042] Furthermore, this status indicator device also includes a connector 5, which is disposed on the fixed body 1 and connected to a designated position of the device to fix the status indicator device in the designated position. Specifically, the connector 5 is disposed on the side surface of the fixed body 1 where the mounting base 2 is provided. Preferably, the number of connectors 5 is at least two. Taking two connectors 5 as an example, one connector 5 is disposed at one end of the inner surface of the fixed body 1, and the other connector 5 is disposed at the other end of the inner surface of the fixed body 1. When the number of connectors 5 is more than two, all connectors 5 are spaced apart along the edge of the inner surface of the fixed body 1.

[0043] Preferably, the connector 5 is a snap-fit ​​connector, which is fixed to a designated position by snap-fit. The connector 5 includes a support ring 501 and a snap-fit ​​piece 502. The support ring 501 is fixedly disposed on the fixing body 1, and the support ring 501 is set at an angle to the fixing body 1. Preferably, the support ring 501 is set perpendicular to the fixing body 1. One end of the snap-fit ​​piece 502 is fixedly disposed on the support ring 501, and the other end of the snap-fit ​​piece 502 is a free end, which is disposed close to the fixing body 1 and has a protrusion 503. Preferably, the snap-fit ​​piece 502, the support ring 501, and the fixing body 1 are integrally processed to have an integral structure, and the snap-fit ​​piece 502 is elastic. Under the action of external force, the free end of the snap-fit ​​piece 502 and the protrusion 503 can be offset relative to the support ring 501, thereby snapping or disassembling with the designated position.

[0044] In summary, the status indicator device provided in this application can display at least two types of indicator information on the display panel 4, enhancing the user's interactive experience with the device and enabling the user to more intuitively understand the device's status and operational feedback.

[0045] Secondly, see Figure 1 As shown, embodiments of this application also provide an electronic device including the status indication device described in any of the above embodiments, and thus possess all the beneficial technical effects of the status indication device, which will not be repeated here.

[0046] This electronic device can specifically be a mobile energy storage device. This electronic device also includes a housing 7. A partial opening in the housing 7 forms a mounting part. The shape of the mounting part is adapted to the shape of the fixing body 1 of the status indicator device. The edge of the mounting part is provided with a snap-fit ​​part. The number of snap-fit ​​parts is the same as the number of snap-fit ​​pieces and they are provided one-to-one. The snap-fit ​​part has a hole structure or a groove structure. The shape of the snap-fit ​​part is adapted to the shape of the protrusion 503 of the snap-fit ​​piece. After the fixing body 1 is installed in the mounting part, the protrusion 503 of the snap-fit ​​piece can be snapped into the snap-fit ​​part, thereby fixing the status indicator device at the mounting part of the housing 7.

[0047] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application, and are not intended to limit them.
