[0002] Miniature or small electronic devices are becoming increasingly common in people's lives, such as mobile phones, earphones, handheld fans, power banks, and hand warmers, which greatly enrich people's lives.

[0003] Many electronic devices nowadays have indicator lights to show battery levels, such as Bluetooth headset cases, power banks, and handheld fans. However, these devices typically use multiple LEDs combined to indicate the approximate battery level based on the number of lit lights. Although the devices have light holes, the casings of most of these devices are made of plastic, and different colors of plastic have varying degrees of light transmittance. Figure 2 As shown, this can lead to situations where, when an indicator light on a product is lit, it's difficult to distinguish whether an adjacent indicator light is also lit, causing users to misjudge the device's battery level. Therefore, this invention proposes an indicator light anti-crosstalk structure to at least partially solve the problems that may exist in the prior art. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the aforementioned problems, this application is made in order to provide an indicator light anti-crossing structure that overcomes or at least partially solves the aforementioned problems.

[0005] One embodiment of this application discloses an indicator light anti-crossing structure, which is applied to an electronic device with an indicator light structure; it includes: a plurality of lamp holes arranged at preset intervals on one side of the housing;

[0006] An opaque partition is provided between each pair of lamp holes;

[0007] An indicator light assembly is provided on the lamp panel corresponding to the lamp hole;

[0008] The front end of the indicator light assembly is provided with a lamp post whose aperture is adapted to the diameter of the lamp hole;

[0009] The light panel is installed at the position of the opaque partition, and each of the indicator light assemblies is isolated by the opaque partition, with the light post located inside the light hole.

[0010] Optionally, a mounting post is also provided inside the housing;

[0011] The lamp board is electrically connected to the main control board, and the main control board is provided with mounting holes;

[0015] Optionally, the indicator light anti-crossing structure is applied to a power bank;

[0016] The main control board is also electrically connected to a lithium battery.

[0017] Optionally, the main control board is provided in two parts and connected by a pin header terminal;

[0018] Each of the main control boards is connected to at least one of the lithium batteries.

[0019] Optionally, a bracket is provided on the outer side of the housing, and the bracket is hinged to the housing.

[0021] This application has the following advantages:

[0022] In the embodiments of this application, multiple lamp holes are arranged at preset intervals on one side of the housing; an opaque partition is provided between each pair of lamp holes; an indicator light assembly is arranged on the lamp plate corresponding to the lamp holes; the front end of each indicator light assembly is provided with a lamp post whose aperture is adapted to the lamp hole diameter; the lamp plate is installed at the position of the opaque partition, and each indicator light assembly is isolated by the opaque partition, with the lamp post located inside the lamp hole.

Detailed Implementation

[0030] To make the objectives, features, and advantages of this application more apparent and understandable, the application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0031] Reference Figures 1 to 5 This application provides an indicator light anti-crosslight structure, which is applied to electronic devices with indicator light structures. It includes: a plurality of lamp holes 102 are arranged at preset intervals on one side of a housing 101; an opaque partition 103 is provided between each pair of lamp holes 102; an indicator light assembly is arranged on a lamp plate 202 corresponding to the lamp holes 102; a lamp post 204 with a diameter adapted to the diameter of the lamp hole 102 is provided at the front end of each indicator light assembly; the lamp plate 202 is installed at the position of the opaque partition 103, and each indicator light assembly is isolated by the opaque partition 103, with the lamp post 204 located within the lamp hole 102.

[0032] By setting an opaque partition 103 between the lamp holes 102 in the housing 101 and setting a lamp post 204 adapted to the diameter of the lamp holes 102 at the front end of the indicator light assembly, crosstalk between adjacent indicator lights is effectively prevented, making the lighting status of each indicator light clearly distinguishable. This avoids users making incorrect judgments about the device's battery level and significantly improves the accuracy and reliability of battery indication. For example, applying this structure to a Bluetooth headset storage case with a plastic shell allows users to clearly see whether each indicator light is lit, even if the shell is dark and has poor light transmittance, thus accurately understanding the storage case's battery status.

[0033] In some embodiments of this application, the housing 101 is further provided with mounting posts 104; the lamp board 202 is electrically connected to the main control board 201, and the main control board 201 is provided with mounting holes 205; the main control board 201 is installed in the housing 101 by screws and mounting holes 205. The lamp board 202 can be connected to the main control board 201 by screws, plugs, or welding, or it can be directly connected to the housing 101 by screws or adhesive. The lamp board 202 can be electrically connected to the main control board 201 by FPC or wires. The mounting posts 104 are provided in the housing 101, and the main control board 201 is installed in the housing by screws and mounting holes. This installation method ensures that the main control board 201 and the lamp board 202 are installed securely and reliably, guaranteeing the stability of the entire indicator light anti-crosslight structure during the use of electronic equipment, reducing the risk of structural failure due to component loosening, and also facilitating installation, disassembly, and maintenance. For example, in handheld fan products or power banks, the main control board 201 and the light board 202 are installed in this way. Under the shaking and collision of the fan or power bank during daily use, the indicator light structure can still maintain stable operation, and when the device malfunctions, it is convenient for technicians to disassemble and repair it.

[0034] Furthermore, the indicator light assembly includes an LED light electrically connected to the light panel 202, and the LED light is fitted with a light guide 203; the end of the light guide 203 is provided with a lamp post 204; the light guide 203 is disposed between the opaque partitions 103, so that the lamp post 204 is located within the lamp hole 102. The LED light in the above indicator light assembly is fitted with a light guide 203, and the light guide 203 is disposed between the opaque partitions 103, so that the lamp post 204 is located within the lamp hole 102. This can better concentrate and guide the light, further enhancing the anti-crosslighting effect, while also improving the brightness and light uniformity of the indicator light, allowing users to clearly observe the indicator light status from different angles. For example, in the application scenario of a power bank, the light guide 203 can better guide the light from the LED light to the lamp hole 102, so that even in a dimly lit environment, users can clearly see the power indicator light from all directions, without being affected by light dispersion or crosslighting.

[0035] In some embodiments of this application, the indicator light anti-crossing structure is applied to a power bank; the main control board 201 is also electrically connected to a lithium battery. Applying the indicator light anti-crossing structure to a power bank and electrically connecting the main control board 201 to the lithium battery ensures the practical feasibility of this structure in the commonly used electronic device, the power bank. This effectively solves the problem of cross-lighting in the power bank's indicator light, allowing users to accurately know the remaining power of the power bank, rationally arrange charging and use, and improve the user experience. For example, using this structure in a high-capacity power bank allows users to accurately know the power bank's charge level during use, avoiding situations where the device runs out of power due to misjudgment of the charge level. Specifically, five LEDs can be set, with the first group at 20%, the second at 40%, the third at 60%, the fourth at 80%, and the fifth at 100%. More LEDs can also be used to make the power level display more detailed.

[0036] Furthermore, two main control boards 201 are provided and connected via pin header connectors 206; each main control board 201 is connected to at least one lithium battery. This design increases the flexibility and scalability of the device's power management, allowing it to adapt to lithium batteries of different capacities and quantities to meet diverse product needs, while also improving the overall stability and reliability of the device. For example, in some special power bank products requiring high-capacity power, by increasing the number of lithium batteries and configuring corresponding main control boards 201, this structure can effectively manage and indicate the power levels of multiple lithium batteries, while ensuring the normal operation of the indicator lights and preventing crosstalk.

[0037] In some embodiments of this application, a bracket 105 is provided on the outer side of the housing 101, and the bracket 105 is hinged to the housing 101. Providing the bracket 105 on the outer side of the housing 101 and hinged to it offers more placement options and usage scenarios for electronic devices, increasing their practicality and convenience. Users can adjust the device angle according to their needs. Simultaneously, when placing the device, the bracket 105 also provides some protection, reducing the risk of damage caused by tipping. For example, the bracket 105 can support a power bank and place it at a suitable angle on a table, serving as a phone stand for easy viewing of indicator lights and device use. Furthermore, when placing the device, the bracket prevents it from easily sliding or tipping over.

[0038] Furthermore, the housing 101 is provided with a composite light-shielding coating at least at the lamp hole 102 and the opaque partition 103. This composite light-shielding coating on the housing 101 at least at the lamp hole 102 and the opaque partition 103 further enhances the light-shielding performance of the housing, preventing light crosstalk from multiple levels and improving the anti-crosstalk effect. Even in usage scenarios with extremely high light requirements, it ensures clear display of the indicator light, improving product quality and applicability. For example, in a power bank for professional photography equipment with strict light requirements, the application of an indicator light anti-crosstalk structure with a composite light-shielding coating ensures that even in complex ambient light conditions, crosstalk from the indicator light will not affect the photographer's judgment of the power bank's battery level.

Therefore, the appended claims are intended to be interpreted as including the preferred embodiments as well as all changes and modifications falling within the scope of the embodiments of the present application.
