Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of button technology, specifically relating to a long-distance luminous button and switch. Background Technology

[0002] Illuminated buttons on electric bicycles utilize embedded LED light source technology to achieve high visibility at night. Common illuminated buttons typically offer selectable blue, white, and red lighting effects, meeting the need for precise operation in dark environments while enhancing the overall visual appeal of the vehicle through technological lighting. The illumination structure of conventional illuminated buttons generally involves encapsulating LED beads around stationary contacts. Light is conducted through the stationary and moving contacts to reach the symbols on the keycap, thus illuminating the symbols.

[0003] However, for some larger irregularly shaped buttons, the symbols on the keycaps are far from the light source, making it difficult for the light intensity provided by the light source placed around the stationary contact to meet the illumination requirements. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the problem that the light intensity provided by the light source around the stationary contact of large irregularly shaped buttons in the prior art is insufficient to meet the luminous requirements, this utility model provides a long-distance luminous button and switch.

[0005] The technical solution adopted in this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A long-distance illuminated button includes a keycap body, the keycap body having a light-transmitting structure, a white base coat layer on the top surface of the keycap body, a black top coat layer on the white base coat layer, and a laser engraving penetrating the black top coat layer.

[0007] The bottom of the keycap body is provided with a groove extending upward from the bottom surface. An LED substrate is provided in the groove, and LED beads are connected to the LED substrate. A potting layer is provided in the groove.

[0008] By adopting this technical solution, this utility model changes the design concept of installing LED beads around the stationary contact and transmitting light to the keycap through the stationary and moving contacts. Instead, it directly opens a groove at the bottom of the keycap body according to the size characteristics of large-sized irregular buttons, and directly sets the light source in the groove, so that the light is directly transmitted to the laser engraving of the keycap body, so that even large irregular buttons have sufficient light intensity.

[0009] Preferably, the height of one side wall of the groove is lower than the height of the other side, thereby forming a receiving groove for the power line of the LED substrate.

[0010] By adopting this technical solution, after the LED light-emitting substrate is placed in the groove, the power cord can be effectively saved by reducing the height of one side wall to form a receiving groove.

[0011] Preferably, the bottom of the keycap body is provided with a first vertical plate and a second vertical plate, and a first horizontal plate and a second horizontal plate are provided between the first vertical plate and the second vertical plate, and the first vertical plate, the second vertical plate, the first horizontal plate and the second horizontal plate together form the groove.

[0012] Preferably, a limiting plate is movably disposed within the groove.

[0013] After adopting this technical solution, a limiting plate can be inserted into the groove. When the substrate with connected LED beads is placed in the groove, the limiting plate can be pushed to abut the substrate, thereby fixing the position of the substrate. Then, potting material is added to both sides of the limiting plate, which can effectively prevent the substrate from being pushed and displaced by the potting material when it is injected.

[0014] Preferably, the height of the potting layer is less than the height of the groove.

[0015] With this technical solution, since the potting layer extends from bottom to top and its height is less than the height of the groove, even if water enters the door, it is difficult for the water to come into contact with the potting layer, thus improving the waterproof performance.

[0016] Preferably, the LED beads are positioned facing the laser engraving.

[0017] By adopting this technical solution, the LED beads are oriented towards the laser engraving, which allows light to fully reach the laser engraving area, further ensuring the brightness intensity.

[0018] A switch, namely the long-distance luminous button.

[0019] Preferably, the housing includes an upper housing and a lower housing, and a mounting hole for mounting a long-distance luminous button is provided at the junction of the upper housing and the lower housing. The mounting hole is located on the lower side wall of the housing.

[0020] Preferably, the long-distance luminous button is a start button.

[0021] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0022] This invention changes the design concept of installing LED beads around the stationary contact points and transmitting light to the keycaps through the stationary and moving contact points. Instead, it directly creates a groove at the bottom of the keycap body based on the size characteristics of large-sized irregular buttons, and places the light source directly in the groove, thereby directly transmitting light to the laser engraving of the keycap body, so that even large irregular buttons have sufficient light intensity.

[0027] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of this application described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of this application provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed application, but merely represents selected 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.

[0028] In the description of the embodiments of this application, it should be noted that the terms "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, or the orientation or positional relationship commonly used when the utility model product is in use. They are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this application. In addition, the terms "first," "second," and "third," etc., are only used to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0029] The following is combined Figures 1-2This utility model will be described in detail.

[0030] like Figure 2 As shown, a long-distance illuminated button includes a keycap body 3, which is a light-transmitting structure. The top surface of the keycap body 3 is provided with a white base coat, and a black top coat is provided on the white base coat. A laser engraving 301 penetrating the black top coat is provided on the black top coat. In this embodiment, the thickness of the white base coat is 50±8μm in the area where the laser engraving 301 is located, and 50±10μm in other areas. The thickness of the black top coat is 35±8μm in the area where the laser engraving 301 is located, and 35±10μm in other areas.

[0031] The bottom of the keycap body 3 is provided with a groove 305 extending upward from the bottom surface. In this embodiment, the groove 305 is rectangular in shape, so the shape of the LED substrate is preferably also rectangular or square. An LED substrate is disposed in the groove 305, and LED beads are connected to the LED substrate. A potting layer is disposed in the groove 305. In this embodiment, an epoxy resin is injected into the groove 305 to form a potting layer, which can fix the LED substrate and LED beads in the groove.

[0032] This utility model changes the design concept of installing LED beads around the stationary contact point, and directly installs the LED beads in the groove 305, so that the distance between the LED beads and the laser engraving 301 is closer. Since the keycap body 3 is a transparent structure with light guiding properties, the light emitted by the LED beads can be transmitted to the laser engraving 301 to form a light-emitting button.

[0033] In one embodiment, the height of one sidewall of the groove 305 is lower than the height of the other sides, thereby forming a receiving groove for the power lines of the LED substrate. After the light-emitting substrate of the LED is placed in the groove 305, space can be effectively saved by reducing the height of one sidewall to form a receiving groove to accommodate its power lines.

[0034] In one embodiment, the bottom of the keycap body 3 is provided with a first vertical plate and a second vertical plate 307, and a first horizontal plate 302 and a second horizontal plate 304 are provided between the first vertical plate and the second vertical plate 307. The first vertical plate, the second vertical plate 307, the first horizontal plate 302 and the second horizontal plate 304 together form the groove 305.

[0035] In one embodiment, the illuminated button is a rotary button. The outer surfaces of the first vertical plate and the second vertical plate 307 are respectively provided with a first rotating shaft 303 and a second rotating shaft. The first rotating shaft 303 and the second rotating shaft can be engaged in a rotating groove on the housing, thereby realizing the rotation of the button. The height of the first horizontal plate 302 is lower than the height of the first vertical plate, the second vertical plate 307, and the second horizontal plate 304, thus forming the receiving groove. The laser engraving 301 is disposed on the side near the first horizontal plate 302. The laser engraving 301 being disposed on the side near the first horizontal plate 302 aligns with the button's direction of movement, which is more conducive to the connection of wires and power supply equipment.

[0036] In one embodiment, a limiting plate 306 is movably disposed within the groove 305. In this embodiment, the limiting plate 306 is a rectangular plate with a width close to that of the groove 305. The limiting plate 306 can be inserted into the groove 305. When a substrate with connected LED beads is placed in the groove, the limiting plate 306 (made of the same material as the keycap body 3 and having light-guiding properties) can be pushed to abut the LED substrate, thereby fixing the position of the LED substrate. Subsequently, potting material is added to both sides of the limiting plate 306, which can effectively prevent the LED substrate from being pushed and displaced by the potting material when it is injected. This allows the position of the light source to better match the position of the laser marking 301, thereby better transmitting light.

[0037] In one embodiment, the height of the potting layer is less than the height of the groove 305. In this embodiment, the height of the groove 305 is 0.2-1mm greater than the height of the potting layer. Since the potting layer extends from bottom to top and its height is less than the height of the groove 305, even if water enters the door, it is difficult for the water to come into contact with the potting layer, thus improving the waterproof performance.

[0038] In one embodiment, the LED beads are positioned facing the laser marking 301. Positioning the LED beads towards the laser marking ensures that light reaches the laser marking 301 sufficiently, further guaranteeing light intensity.

[0039] A switch comprising the aforementioned long-distance luminous button.

[0040] like Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, a housing is included, the housing comprising an upper housing 2 and a lower housing 1, and a mounting hole for mounting a long-distance luminous button is provided at the junction of the upper housing 2 and the lower housing 1, the mounting hole being located on the lower side wall of the housing.

[0041] The embodiments described above merely illustrate specific implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are detailed and specific, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the technical solution of this application, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the scope of protection of this application.
