[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0023] Please see Figures 1 to 5 This utility model provides an indicator light mounting assembly for mounting on a pot body 1, including a lampshade 2, a lamp plate 3, and a housing 4. The lampshade 2 includes an outer shell 21 and a first locking foot 22. The first locking foot 22 is connected to one side of the outer shell 21. The pot body 1 has a mounting hole 11, the size of which is smaller than the size of the outer shell 21. The mounting hole 11 allows the first locking foot 22 to enter the inside of the pot body 1 and connect with the housing 4. The lamp plate 3 is located inside the housing 4, and the light-emitting part on the lamp plate 3 corresponds to the lampshade 2.

[0024] In this application, when the lampshade 2 is connected to the housing 4, since the size of the mounting hole 11 is smaller than the size of the outer cover 21, the outer cover 21 is blocked on the outside by the pot body 1, while the housing 4 is blocked on the inside by the pot body 1, thereby fixing the lampshade 2. Therefore, the mounting assembly structure of this application is simple, easy to operate, and requires no additional glue application.

[0025] According to some embodiments of this utility model, two first locking feet 22 are provided, with a gap formed between the two first locking feet 22 and symmetrically arranged. Each first locking foot 22 includes a first rod 221 and a first wedge-shaped protrusion 222. One end of the first rod 221 is connected to the outer casing 21, and the other end is connected to the first wedge-shaped protrusion 222. The first wedge-shaped protrusions 222 on the two first locking feet 22 extend away from each other, and the first wedge-shaped protrusions 222 are used to engage with the box body 4. Further, the first wedge-shaped protrusion 222 includes a driving inclined surface 223 and a engaging surface 224 that are adjacent to each other. The first rod 221 is elastic. When the driving inclined surface 223 abuts against the box body 4, it drives the first rods 221 on the two first locking feet 22 to move closer to each other. The engaging surface 224 is used to engage with the box body 4. In this embodiment, the first locking pin 22 is first inserted into the mounting hole 11, and the box body 4 abuts against the driving inclined surface 223. Under the action of the driving inclined surface 223, due to the elasticity of the first rod 221, the two second rods 4311 move closer to each other. When the box body 4 slides away from the end of the driving inclined surface 223, the first rod 221 returns to its initial position under the action of elasticity, and the locking surface 224 locks into the box body 4.

[0026] Neon lamps, as one type of indicator light, are typically directly clipped onto the lampshade in existing technologies. However, this wiring method requires many resistors, resulting in complex wiring, easy breakage of the lamp wires, and a high defect rate. According to some embodiments of this utility model, the lamp board 3 includes an LED bead 31 and a circuit board 32. The LED bead 31 is electrically connected to the circuit board 32, and extends into the gap between the two first clips 22. In this embodiment, the light-emitting part of the lamp board 3 is the LED bead 31. The LED bead 31 being located in the gap between the two first clips 22 not only facilitates structural compactness but also ensures that the light emitted by the LED bead 31 is not obstructed by other components, allowing light to pass directly through the outer casing 21, thus providing an effective indicator function.

[0027] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the box body 4 has a notch 41, which includes an open end 411 and a snap-fit ​​end 412 that are interconnected. The size of the open end 411 is larger than the size of the snap-fit ​​end 412. The open end 411 allows the first snap-fit ​​foot 22 to enter the snap-fit ​​end 412 vertically, and the snap-fit ​​end 412 is used to snap with the first snap-fit ​​foot 22. The notch 41 is described with its opening facing upwards. During installation, the first snap-fit ​​foot 22 is inserted into the mounting hole 11, and the box body 4 is pushed upwards vertically so that the first snap-fit ​​foot 22 enters the notch 41. Since the size of the open end 411 is larger than the size of the snap-fit ​​end 412, the open end 411 has a guiding function. Under the guiding action of the open end 411, the first snap-fit ​​foot 22 enters the snap-fit ​​end 412, thereby completing the connection with the box body 4. When disassembly is required, the box body 4 can be removed by downward displacement.

[0028] According to some embodiments of this utility model, a limiting protrusion 413 is provided at the junction of the open end 411 and the snap-fit ​​end 412. The limiting protrusion 413 is used to limit the position of the first snap-fit ​​foot 22 in the vertical direction. In this example, the limiting protrusion 413 can improve the stability when the lampshade 2 is connected to the box body 4, and effectively prevent the lampshade 2 and the box body 4 from separating during use.

[0029] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the box body 4 includes a first box cover 42 and a second box cover 43, which are detachably connected. The first box cover 42 is connected to the first latch 22, and the lamp panel 3 is disposed between the first box cover 42 and the second box cover 43. In this embodiment, since the first box cover 42 and the second box cover 43 are detachably connected, they can be manufactured in parallel during production, shortening the production cycle. Standardized interfaces reduce the precision requirements for parts processing and avoid complex wiring or nested assembly (such as installing internal components first and then closing the box cover), reducing the assembly error rate.

[0030] Specifically, the first cover 42 is provided with a snap-fit ​​hole 421, and the second cover 43 is provided with a second snap-fit ​​foot 431, which is used to snap into the snap-fit ​​hole 421. Further, the second snap-fit ​​foot 431 is provided in plurality of parts, each including a second rod 4311 and a second wedge-shaped protrusion 4312. One end of the second rod 4311 is connected to the second cover 43, and the other end is connected to the second wedge-shaped protrusion 4312, which is used to snap into the snap-fit ​​hole 421.

[0031] According to some embodiments of this utility model, limiting ribs 434 are provided on the inner sidewalls of the first cover 42 and the second cover 43, and the limiting ribs 434 are used to abut against the lamp plate 3. In this embodiment, the limiting ribs 434 are matched with the edge or slot of the lamp plate 3 by a preset height, spacing and contour to form a physical limit.
