Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of light-emitting button technology, and in particular to a light-emitting button. Background Technology

[0002] To facilitate user identification of buttons or knobs at night, internal lighting is typically installed. For example, utility model CN220543791U discloses a light-up knob, including a knob body, a light-transmitting cover, and a knob shell. The light-transmitting cover is located at the upper end of the knob shell, and a light-emitting component is disposed within the knob shell. The light-emitting component includes a reflector, a light guide, and an LED light source located below the light guide. The light guide has a light-transmitting surface, and a light-transmitting groove is provided between the knob shell and the reflector, with the light-transmitting surface extending into the light-transmitting groove. The reflector has a reflective layer for reflecting light emitted from the light-transmitting surface back to the light-transmitting cover. However, existing light-up buttons generally have some problems: in strong light environments, due to the uniform brightness distribution, the button's light and shadow effects appear monotonous, resulting in low visibility and making it difficult for users to quickly identify the button's location. Similarly, in low light environments, the uniform brightness can sometimes be too glaring. Furthermore, in nighttime environments, the contrast between the button's illuminated area and the background is insufficient, increasing the risk of accidental activation. Therefore, how to design an illuminated button that can effectively improve recognizability, reduce accidental touches, and maintain good display under different lighting conditions has become an urgent problem to be solved in the current field. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to design an illuminated button to address the shortcomings of the aforementioned technologies, thereby improving the user's ability to identify the button under different lighting conditions and reducing the risk of accidental touches.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution of this utility model is: a light-emitting button, comprising:

[0005] The outer casing has openings at its upper and lower ends;

[0006] A light-transmitting cover, which is inserted into the upper opening of the outer casing;

[0007] The inner liner is inserted into the lower opening of the outer shell, and the inner liner and the light-transmitting cover are detachably connected to form a circular assembly cavity. The assembly cavity is provided with an annular support structure, which is made of light-transmitting material.

[0008] The light-emitting component located in the assembly cavity includes a light-shielding ring, a mirror sheet, a ring-shaped lamp body, and a single-lens reflex camera arranged sequentially from top to bottom. The light-shielding ring covers the edge area of ​​the mirror sheet. The mirror sheet and the single-lens reflex camera are parallel and spaced apart by the support structure. The lamp body surrounds the outer wall of the support structure, and the light-emitting side of the lamp body faces the support structure.

[0009] Preferably, the upper end face of the inner liner is provided with a connecting ring, and the lower end face of the light-transmitting cover is provided with an assembly ring. The assembly ring is sleeved on the connecting ring. The assembly ring includes at least two fasteners. The connecting ring has a fastening groove for the fasteners to engage, so that the upper end face of the inner liner, the inner wall of the connecting ring, and the inner wall of the light-transmitting cover cooperate with each other to form the assembly cavity.

[0010] Preferably, the connecting ring is coaxial with and spaced apart from the supporting structure, the mirror is inserted into the connecting ring, the lower end face of the mirror abuts against the upper end face of the supporting structure, and the inner wall of the connecting ring, the outer wall of the supporting structure, the lower end face of the mirror and the upper end face of the inner liner cooperate to form an emission cavity for accommodating the lamp body.

[0011] Preferably, the upper end face of the connecting ring is provided with an annular limiting groove, the upper end face of the mirror sheet cooperates with the inner wall of the limiting groove, and the light-shielding ring is inserted into the limiting groove.

[0012] Preferably, the support structure includes a first support ring and a second support ring arranged coaxially. The first support ring is fixedly connected to the upper end face of the inner liner. The single-lens reflex film and the second support ring are sequentially inserted into the first support ring. The opposite sides of the mirror film and the single-lens reflex film respectively abut against the two end faces of the second support ring.

[0013] Preferably, the lamp body includes an annular lamp strip and a plurality of light sources arranged at intervals on the lamp strip.

[0014] Preferably, the inner wall of the outer shell is provided with at least one positioning strip, the positioning strip extends along the height direction of the outer shell, and the upper end face of the inner liner is provided with a positioning groove for the positioning strip to be inserted.

[0015] Preferably, both the SLR film and the mirror film are made of light-transmitting material. The lower end surface of the SLR film is coated with a first optical coating, and the upper and lower end surfaces of the mirror film are coated with a second optical coating. The first optical coating only reflects light, while the second optical coating reflects and refracts the light passing through the mirror film.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0017] When the illuminated button is in use, the light emitted by the lamp body shines onto the support structure. After passing through the support structure, the light enters the space between the mirror and the SLR film. In this space, the light is reflected and refracted multiple times by the mirror and the SLR film before shining outward through the light-transmitting cover. The light-shielding ring can effectively block unnecessary beams of light from the edge of the mirror and reduce stray light interference. The ring-shaped design of the lamp body allows the emitted light to be reflected and refracted in the space between the mirror and the SLR film after passing through the support structure, forming a ring-shaped layered shadow and spatial extension lighting effect on the light-transmitting cover. This gives the lighting effect produced when the illuminated button is lit a good sense of three-dimensionality, layering, and visual appeal, improving the user's recognition of the button under different lighting conditions and reducing the risk of accidental touch. In addition, the inner tube and the light-transmitting cover are detachably connected, making it convenient for users to repair and replace the various components of the light-emitting assembly as needed.

[0022] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0023] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3A light-emitting button includes a housing 1, a light-transmitting cover 2, an inner liner 3, and a light-emitting component 6. The housing 1 has a ring-shaped structure with openings at the top and bottom. The inner wall of the housing 1 has four protruding positioning strips 101 that extend along the height direction of the housing 1. The upper surface of the inner liner 3 has a positioning groove 304 for the positioning strips 101 to be inserted into. By interlocking the positioning strips 101 with the positioning grooves 304, the inner liner 3 is guided to be inserted into the housing 1 in the correct position, so that the inner liner 3 can only move horizontally within the inner wall of the housing 1, preventing the inner liner 3 from rotating inside the housing 1 due to external forces.

[0024] The light-transmitting cover 2 is inserted into the upper opening of the outer shell 1. The inner wall of the outer shell 1 and the outer wall of the light-transmitting cover 2 are in contact or clearance fit. The upper end face of the inner liner 3 is fixedly connected to a connecting ring 301. The lower end face of the light-transmitting cover 2 is provided with an assembly ring 201. The assembly ring 201 is sleeved on the connecting ring 301. The assembly ring 201 includes two symmetrically arranged fasteners 202. The outer wall of the connecting ring 301 is provided with a fastening groove 302 for the fasteners 202 to engage, so that the inner liner 3 and the light-transmitting cover 2 are detachably connected. The upper end face of the inner liner 3, the inner wall of the connecting ring 301 and the inner wall of the light-transmitting cover 2 cooperate with each other to form a circular assembly cavity 4.

[0025] An annular support structure 5 is provided inside the assembly cavity 4. The support structure 5 is made of a light-transmitting material, which can be transparent plastic or acrylic. The support structure 5 includes a first support ring 51 and a second support ring 52 arranged coaxially. The first support ring 51 is fixedly connected to the upper end face of the inner liner 3, and the second support ring 52 is a separate accessory. The connecting ring 301 is coaxial with the first support ring 51 of the support structure 5 and is spaced apart.

[0026] The light-emitting component 6 is located inside the assembly cavity 4. The light-emitting component 6 includes, from top to bottom, a light-shielding ring 61, a mirror 62, an annular lamp body 63, and a single-lens reflex camera 64. The single-lens reflex camera 64 and the first support ring 51 are sequentially inserted into the first support ring 51. The mirror 62 is inserted into the connecting ring 301. The lower end face of the mirror 62 abuts against the upper end face of the first support ring 51 of the support structure 5. The opposite sides of the mirror 62 and the single-lens reflex camera 64 abut against the two end faces of the second support ring 52, so that the mirror 62 and the single-lens reflex camera 64 abut against each other. The reflectors 64 are arranged in parallel and spaced apart by the support structure 5. The inner wall of the connecting ring 301, the outer wall of the first support ring 51 of the support structure 5, the lower end face of the mirror sheet 62 and the upper end face of the inner liner 3 cooperate to form an emitting cavity 7 for accommodating the lamp body 63. The lamp body 63 includes an annular lamp strip 631 and a plurality of light sources 632 spaced apart on the lamp strip 631. The light sources 632 can be LED lamps. The lamp body 63 surrounds the outer wall of the support structure 5 and the light-emitting side of the lamp body 63 faces the support structure 5.

[0027] The upper end face of the connecting ring 301 is provided with an annular limiting groove 303. The upper end face of the mirror sheet 62 cooperates with the inner wall of the limiting groove 303. The light-shielding ring 61 is inserted into the limiting groove 303. When the light-transmitting cover 2 and the inner liner 3 are assembled, the inner wall of the light-transmitting rod cooperates with the limiting groove 303 to limit the light-shielding ring 61, ensuring that the light-shielding ring 61 covers the edge area of ​​the mirror sheet 62.

[0028] Both the SLR film 64 and the mirror film 62 are made of light-transmitting material, which can be transparent plastic or acrylic. The lower end surface of the SLR film 64 is coated with a first optical coating 601, and the upper and lower end surfaces of the mirror film 62 are coated with a second optical coating 602. The first optical coating 601 is a reflective film that only reflects light. The second optical coating 602 is a light-transmitting metal film layer, which can be made of silver, aluminum, or nickel. The second optical coating 602 reflects and refracts the light that passes through the mirror film 62.

[0029] When the illuminated button is in use, the light emitted by the lamp body 63 shines onto the support structure 5. The light passes through the support structure 5 and is refracted into the space between the mirror 62 and the SLR film 64. The emitted light entering this space undergoes multiple reflections through the mirror 62 and the SLR film 64, and is refracted sequentially through the mirror 62 and the light-transmitting cover 2 to illuminate outwards. The light-shielding ring 61 can effectively block unnecessary beams of light from the edge of the mirror 62 and reduce stray light interference. The ring-shaped design of the lamp body 63 makes the lamp body 63... The emitted light from the inner liner 3 passes through the support structure 5 and is reflected and refracted in the space between the mirror sheet 62 and the single-lens reflex film 64, forming a ring-shaped layered shadow and spatially extended lighting effect on the light-transmitting cover 2. This makes the lighting effect produced when the light-emitting button is lit have a better sense of three-dimensionality, layering and visual appeal, improving the user's recognition of the button under different lighting conditions and reducing the risk of accidental touch. In addition, the inner liner 3 and the light-transmitting cover 2 are detachably connected, which makes it convenient for users to repair and replace the various parts of the light-emitting component 6 as needed.

[0030] Of course, the above are just typical examples of this utility model. In addition, this utility model may have many other specific implementation methods. All technical solutions formed by equivalent substitution or equivalent transformation fall within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
