[0003] In related technologies, the light-transmitting components of electronic devices include a housing, a light source, and a light guide column. The light guide column is connected to the housing and located inside the housing. Light emitted by the light source is transmitted through the light guide column to the outer surface of the housing for display. However, the light guide column and the housing are two independent components. The light guide column and the housing need to be manufactured separately, which also increases the assembly process of the light guide column and the housing, resulting in higher costs and more complicated assembly processes.

In the description of this utility model, "a plurality of" or "several" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0028] Example:

[0029] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 This utility model provides an electronic device, including a light-transmitting component and a device body 10, with at least one light-transmitting component connected to the device body 10. The electronic device can be a detection instrument or probe, etc., and the number of light-transmitting components is set according to actual needs, such as one, two, or three.

[0030] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The light-transmitting component includes a housing 1, a light source 2, and an identifier 3. The housing 1 is provided with a light-transmitting channel 11 that runs through its inner and outer sides. The light source 2 is located inside the housing 1, and the light emission direction of the light source 2 is towards the light-transmitting channel 11. The identifier 3 is located outside the housing 1 and covers the light-transmitting channel 11. The identifier 3 is provided with a light-transmitting area 31, which is directly opposite to the light-transmitting channel 11.

[0031] By providing a light-transmitting channel 11 on the housing 1, the light emitted by the light source 2 can be transmitted through the light-transmitting channel 11 to the outer surface of the housing 1 and pass through the light-transmitting area 31 of the marking element 3. This allows the light beam to be observed on the outer surface of the electronic device. The transmission of the light beam does not require an additional light guide post, reducing the cost of the light-transmitting component and simplifying the assembly process. Furthermore, the marking element 3 can cover the light-transmitting channel 11, preventing it from being exposed on the outer surface of the electronic device and ensuring the sealing of the light-transmitting channel 11. The light-transmitting area 31 on the marking element 3 also ensures that the light beam passes through the light-transmitting channel 11, making the design of the marking element 3 quite reasonable and ingenious.

[0032] It should be noted that since the light transmission channel 11 is set on the housing 1, the light transmission channel 11 can be formed together during the manufacturing process of the housing 1. For example, the light transmission channel 11 can be formed during the injection molding process of the housing 1.

[0033] Please see Figure 3 The light transmission channel 11 includes a first light transmission hole 111 and a second light transmission hole 112 connected to the first light transmission hole 111. The diameter of the second light transmission hole 112 is greater than or equal to the diameter of the first light transmission hole 111. The light source 2 is located at the end of the second light transmission hole 112 away from the first light transmission hole 111. When the diameter of the second light transmission hole 112 is greater than the diameter of the first light transmission hole 111, the light transmission channel 11 is a stepped channel, which facilitates its formation on the housing 1. Furthermore, the light beam emitted by the light source 2 is first transmitted to the second light transmission hole 112, which also helps to adapt to the divergence angle of the light source 2, thereby maximizing the collection of the light beam within the light transmission channel 11 and ensuring the illumination intensity of the light beam output by the light source 2. When the diameter of the second light transmission hole 112 is equal to the diameter of the first light transmission hole 111, the first light transmission hole 111 and the second light transmission hole 112 are connected to form a single light transmission hole, making the formation of the light transmission channel 11 on the housing 1 even simpler.

[0034] In some embodiments, a reflective film or reflective layer may be provided on the inner wall of the light transmission channel 11 to prevent the light beam from being lost within the light transmission channel 11.

[0035] Please see Figure 3The first light-transmitting hole 111 and the second light-transmitting hole 112 are coaxially arranged, which not only facilitates the fabrication of the light-transmitting channel 11 on the outer shell, but also avoids the inner wall of the light-transmitting channel 11 from blocking the transmission of the light beam.

[0036] Please see Figure 3 The diameter of the light-transmitting area 31 is less than or equal to the diameter of the light-transmitting channel 11, which is beneficial for the light beam to fill the entire light-transmitting area 31 and improve the display effect of the light-transmitting area 31. Moreover, the thickness of the corresponding light-transmitting area 31 on the sign 3 is less than the thickness of other areas on the sign 3, which can improve the light transmission effect of the light-transmitting area 31; wherein, a groove 32 can be provided on the side of the sign 3 near the housing 1, and the groove 32 is located in the light-transmitting area 31, thereby reducing the thickness of the corresponding light-transmitting area 31 on the sign 3.

[0037] In some embodiments, multiple light transmission channels 11 are provided, and the multiple light transmission channels 11 are distributed at intervals; multiple light sources 2 are provided, and the multiple light sources 2 are distributed at intervals, and the light emission direction of the multiple light sources 2 corresponds to the multiple light transmission channels 11. The multiple light sources 2 can emit light beams of different colors, so that the working condition can be determined by observing the different colored light beams; moreover, the multiple light transmission channels 11 and multiple light sources 2 distributed at intervals can avoid mutual interference between the light beams during transmission.

[0038] It should be noted that the number of light transmission channels 11 and light sources 2 is determined according to actual needs. For example, there may be three light transmission channels 11 and three light sources 2, with the three light sources 2 emitting red, green, and yellow light respectively. In addition, in some other embodiments, there may be only one light transmission channel 11 and one light source 2.

[0039] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The light-transmitting component also includes a circuit board 4, which is located on the side of the housing 1 away from the marker 3, and a light source 2 is located on the side of the circuit board 4 close to the housing 1. The circuit board 4 is used to supply power to the light source 2.

[0040] Depending on actual needs, circuit board 4 can be a light strip, and light source 2 can be a light bead. Multiple light beads can be set on a light strip, or one light bead can be set on a light strip.

[0041] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The housing 1 also has a receiving cavity 12, and the circuit board 4 is located inside the receiving cavity 12 and spaced apart from the bottom wall of the receiving cavity 12. A protrusion 13 is provided on the bottom wall of the receiving cavity 12, and the protrusion 13 has a light transmission channel 11. The light source 2 is located inside the light transmission channel 11 so that the light beam emitted by the light source 2 is transmitted within the light transmission channel 11, ensuring the illumination intensity of the light beam emitted by the light source 2. Moreover, the arrangement of the circuit board 4 can make full use of the internal space of the receiving cavity 12.

[0042] It should be understood that the side of the housing 1 with the receiving cavity 12 is the inner side of the housing 1.

[0043] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 There is a gap between the circuit board 4 and the protrusion 13, through which the heat generated by the light source 2 can be discharged, preventing heat from accumulating in the light transmission channel 11. The second through hole is located in the protrusion 13, facilitating the demolding of the housing 1.

[0044] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The surface of the housing 1 is provided with a positioning groove, which is connected to the light transmission channel 11. The identification element 3 is set in the positioning groove. The positioning groove can accurately fix the identification element 3 on the housing 1 to ensure that the light-transmitting area 31 on the identification element 3 is aligned with the light transmission channel 11. Depending on the actual needs, the identification element 3 can be a label.

[0045] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
