[0028] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] This specific embodiment is merely an explanation of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art can make modifications to this embodiment without contributing any inventive element, but as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the present utility model, they are protected by patent law.

[0030] This embodiment relates to a luminous locator 900 housing, see reference. Figures 1-3 It includes a main housing 100, a cover 200, an isolation component 300, a control component 400, a sensing component 500, and a light-emitting component 600.

[0031] The bottom of the cover 200 is rotatably mounted on the main housing, while the isolator 300 is disposed between the main housing 100 and the cover 200. The cover 200 is rotated open relative to the main housing 100 to allow the locator 900 to be mounted on the isolator 300, enabling users to replace different locator housings or different locators 900 according to different needs. Specifically, the main housing 100 and the cover 200 are teardrop-shaped, compact, lightweight, and easy for users to carry without burden. It should be noted that the main housing 100 and the cover 200 can also be circular, rectangular, polygonal, or other shapes, without specific limitation. The control element 400 is disposed between the main housing 100 and the isolator 300. Specifically, the isolator 300 is a waterproof isolation plate to waterproof the control element 400. In some embodiments, the control element 400 can also be disposed between the isolator 300 and the cover 200. The sensor 500 and the light-emitting element 600 are both disposed on the control element 400. Specifically, the sensing element 500 is an induction coil printed on the control element 400, integrated with the control element 400, resulting in a simple manufacturing process and low cost. In other embodiments, the sensing element 500 can also be an audio transducer or other devices. Specifically, the light-emitting element 600 is an LED lamp, and two light-emitting elements 600 are provided on the control element 400 to increase the brightness. In other embodiments, the light-emitting element 600 can also be other types of light sources, and there can be one, three, or more light-emitting elements 600. Therefore, when the locator 900 emits a positioning beep, the sensor 500 receives the sound signal emitted by the locator 900 and converts the sound signal into an electrical signal. The sensor 500 transmits the electrical signal to the control unit 400, which processes the electrical signal and transmits the processed electrical signal to the light-emitting element 600 to illuminate the light-emitting element 600 and make it flash continuously. This achieves the simultaneous beeping of the locator 900 and the flashing of the light, which can accurately obtain positioning information and quickly find the location of the locator 900. Moreover, the structure is simple and the cost is low.

[0032] Specifically, in this embodiment, the main housing 100, the control component 400, and the isolation component 300 are all provided with a first through hole (not shown) in the middle, and the cover 200 is provided with a second through hole (not shown) in the middle. The first through hole and the second through hole are provided correspondingly, and the two cooperate to avoid blocking the sound-emitting surface of the locator 900 and affecting the beeping sound signal of the locator 900.

[0033] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 The control unit 400 is a control circuit board, on which a signal amplification unit 410 and a control unit 420 are provided. The signal amplification unit 410 receives the weak electrical signal from the sensor 500 and amplifies it. Since the original signal received by the sensor 500 is usually weak, directly using these signals is insufficient to trigger the flashing of the light-emitting element 600. Therefore, by providing the signal amplification unit 410, even extremely small input signals can be effectively amplified. Specifically, the signal amplification unit 410 is a signal amplifier. In other embodiments, other signal amplification modules can also be used. The control unit 420 receives the amplified electrical signal and determines whether the electrical signal is consistent with the sound signal emitted by the locator 900. Specifically, the control unit 420 is an MCU. In other embodiments, the control unit 420 can also be an MPU or DSP, or other control modules. When the locator 900 emits a beeping sound, the sound signal is captured by the sensor 500 and converted into an electrical signal. This signal is then amplified by the signal amplification unit 410 and transmitted to the control unit 420. The control unit 420 processes the signal to determine if it matches preset sound characteristics, such as the frequency and amplitude of the sound emitted by the locator 900. If the control unit 420 confirms that the received signal characteristics match the sound emitted by the locator 900, it illuminates the light-emitting element 600 to provide visual feedback. If the signal characteristics do not match, the control unit 420 determines it to be an interference signal. Therefore, even in noisy environments where sound signals are easily masked and difficult to detect, the combined light signals emitted by the various light-emitting elements 600 can be more intuitively captured by the human eye, helping users to locate the locator 900 more accurately and quickly.

[0034] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The illuminated locator 900 housing also includes a battery assembly 700, which is disposed between the isolator 300 and the control unit 400. The battery assembly 700 includes a battery section 710 and a battery spring 720. The battery section 710 is detachably mounted on the isolator 300 and can be installed or replaced by rotating the cover 200 relative to the main housing 100. The battery spring 720 is disposed between the isolator 300 and the control unit 400 and cooperates with the battery section 710 to conduct electricity.

[0035] In this embodiment, the isolation component 300 includes a protective cover 310 and a protective pad 320, both of which provide waterproof isolation for the control component 400. The protective cover 310 has a mounting surface 311 on the side facing the cover 200 for mounting the positioner 900. Specifically, in this embodiment, three anti-slip pads 3111 are provided on the mounting surface 311 to ensure the positioner 900 is securely mounted and to prevent the positioner 900 from shaking and making noise on the mounting surface 311, which could affect the sensor 500's reception of sound signals. In some embodiments, one, two, or more anti-slip pads 3111 may be provided, without specific limitation. The protective pad 320 is located at the top of the protective cover 310 and has mounting holes 321 for mounting the battery assembly 700.

[0036] Specifically, in this embodiment, the inner side of the cover 200 is provided with a clearance groove 220 to avoid the installation of the battery part 710, so that a part of the battery part 710 is installed in the mounting hole 321, while the other part is placed in the clearance groove 220, which enhances the compactness of the structure, reduces the thickness of the shell, and makes the overall size small and lightweight.

[0037] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 4 The battery spring 720 includes a first spring 721 and a second spring 722 for conducting electricity between the battery unit 710 and the control member 400. The first spring 721 is disposed on the side of the control member 400 facing away from the mounting hole 321, and one end of it abuts against one side of the battery unit 710. The second spring 722 is inserted into the inner wall of the mounting hole 321, and one end of it abuts against the other side of the battery unit 710, while the other end abuts against the control member 400 for conduction, thereby enabling the conduction of electrical energy from the battery unit 710 to the control member 400.

[0038] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first spring 721 is a positive electrode spring, including a first fixing plate 7211 and a first contact portion 7212. The first fixing plate 7211 is fixedly mounted on the side of the control member 400 facing away from the separator 300. The first contact portion 7212 extends and is disposed on one side of the first fixing plate 7211, and it elastically abuts against one side of the battery portion 710. Further, the control member 400 is provided with a movable hole 430 to avoid elastic movement between the first contact portion 7212 and the battery portion 710. Specifically, in this embodiment, the second spring 722 is a negative electrode spring, including a second fixing plate 7221, a second contact portion 7222, and an elastic arm 7223. The second fixing plate 7221 is inserted into the inner wall of the mounting hole 321. The second contact portion 7222 is disposed on the side of the second fixing plate 7221 extending and bending towards the middle of the mounting hole 321, and its bent end elastically abuts against the battery portion 710. The elastic arm 7223 extends and bends from the second fixing plate 7221 toward the control member 400, and its bent end elastically abuts against the control member 400. Furthermore, through the cooperation of the first spring piece 721 and the second spring piece 722, a conductive circuit is formed between the battery section 710 and the control member 400.

[0039] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 2 The luminous locator 900 housing also includes a fastener 800, which is detachably mounted between the main housing 100 and the cover 200 to control the opening and closing state of the cover 200. Specifically, the fastener 800 is a combination of a hexagonal socket screw (not shown) and a threaded hole (not shown). The hexagonal socket screw passes through the cover 200, and the threaded hole is located on the inner wall of the main housing 100 for the hexagonal socket screw to be screwed in, thereby fastening the cover 200 to the main housing 100. In other embodiments, the fastener 800 may also be a snap-fit ​​structure, a magnetic structure, or a screw and nut combination, etc.

[0040] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 A hollow mounting portion 110 is provided at one end of the main housing 100 away from the fastener 800. A rotating shaft 111 is rotatably mounted inside the mounting portion 110. The two ends of the rotating shaft 111 are used for fixing the cover 200 so that the cover 200 can rotate relative to the main housing 100.

[0041] In this embodiment, a clearance hole 210 is provided at one end of the cover 200 near the rotating shaft 111. The clearance hole 210 is provided to avoid obstructing the rotation of the cover 200 relative to the main housing 100.

[0042] In this embodiment, refer to Figures 1-2A connector 120 is provided at the top of the main housing 100.
