Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of recorder technology, and more particularly to a card-type recorder. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of artificial intelligence and speech recognition technology, electronic products based on speech processing technology are becoming increasingly popular. Recorders, as one type of electronic product capable of recording audio, are widely used in work and daily life. Traditional recorders are mostly cylindrical or cylindrical in shape, making them thick and inconvenient to carry. To address this, a card-type recorder has been proposed, which is thinner and more lightweight and flat.

[0003] In practical use, users need to understand the recorder's operating status to ensure the continuity and reliability of recording. In related technologies, card-type recorders typically use indicator lights, with the flashing state distinguishing between start and stop. This method conveys limited information and results in a poor user experience. While display screens are a common way to convey optical information in other electronic devices, they require significant space, hindering the creation of thinner and lighter recorders, and therefore are not suitable for direct application in this field. Utility Model Content

[0004] This application provides a card-type recorder that solves the problem that the external display component of related card-type recorders has limited information transmission, making it difficult for users to intuitively obtain the required recorder operating status.

[0005] This application provides a card-type recorder, which includes a housing, a control component, and a light source component. The housing has multiple light-transmitting holes. The control component is located inside the housing. The light source component includes multiple light-emitting elements arranged in an array, with each light-emitting element corresponding to one of the multiple light-transmitting holes. The control component is electrically connected to the multiple light-emitting elements of the light source component, and the control component is configured to control the opening and closing of the multiple light-emitting elements of the light source component to display the working status of the card-type recorder according to a preset mode.

[0006] In some embodiments, the control component includes a circuit board, on which a plurality of light-emitting elements are disposed, wherein a portion of each light-emitting element is disposed within a light-transmitting hole, so that light emitted by the light-emitting element is emitted from the corresponding light-transmitting hole toward the external space.

[0007] In some embodiments, the card-type recorder further includes a light-shielding element having a plurality of light-transmitting holes, each light-transmitting hole corresponding to a light-transmitting hole; the control component further includes a circuit board, with a plurality of light-emitting elements disposed on the circuit board, and the light-shielding element sandwiched between the circuit board and the housing; wherein a portion of each light-emitting element is disposed within the light-transmitting hole, and the light emitted by the light-emitting element passes sequentially through the light-transmitting hole and the light-transmitting hole toward the external space.

[0008] In some embodiments, the housing includes a first main wall and an auxiliary side wall, the first main wall having a plurality of light-transmitting holes; the auxiliary side wall is disposed around the periphery of the plurality of light-transmitting holes and connected to the first main wall, the first main wall and the auxiliary side wall together defining a positioning groove, and the portion of the light-shielding member away from the circuit board is disposed in the positioning groove.

[0009] In some embodiments, the light-shielding member is an elastic light-shielding member, and the light-shielding member abuts against the surface of the circuit board; in the axial direction of the light-transmitting hole, the thickness of the light-shielding member is greater than the thickness of the auxiliary sidewall.

[0010] In some embodiments, the housing further includes a plurality of through holes that connect the internal space and the external space of the housing, and at least a portion of the through holes are located on the outside of the light-shielding member in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the light-transmitting hole.

[0011] In some embodiments, the light-emitting element and the wall of the housing defining the light-transmitting hole are spaced apart along the axial direction of the light-transmitting hole, and the distance between them is A, where A satisfies: 1mm≤A≤2.5mm.

[0012] In some embodiments, the housing includes a first main wall with a polygonal outer contour; the first main wall has a plurality of light-transmitting holes, which are concentrated in a corner area of ​​the first main wall. According to typical user habits, when checking the status of a card recorder or switching its status, the card recorder is placed centered relative to the user's body. At this time, the user's hand is in an angled position on the surface of the first main wall, roughly along its diagonal. Therefore, the probability of one corner area of ​​the first main wall not being covered by the hand is relatively high, allowing the user to see the light-emitting element without removing their hand during operation.

[0013] The card-type recorder also includes a button cap, which is correspondingly located in one of the corner areas of the first main wall. In a direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the light-transmitting holes, the button cap is arranged side-by-side with the areas containing the multiple light-transmitting holes. Because the light-transmitting holes are located at corners, when the user operates the button cap, their hand is most likely to be along the diagonal of the first main wall. Therefore, the corner adjacent to the corner where the light-transmitting hole is located avoids the user's hand, making it easier for the user to observe the area where the light-transmitting hole is located.

[0014] In some embodiments, at least some of the light-emitting elements are arranged along a first direction, and the distance between two adjacent light-emitting elements arranged along the first direction is L1, where L1 satisfies: 0.7mm≤L1≤2mm; and / or, at least some of the light-emitting elements are arranged along a second direction, and the distance between two adjacent light-emitting elements arranged along the second direction is L2, where L2 satisfies: 0.7mm≤L2≤2mm; wherein the axial direction of the light-transmitting hole, the first direction, and the second direction are mutually perpendicular to each other.

[0015] In some embodiments, the housing has a plurality of blind holes, which are formed on the outer surface of the housing and spaced apart from the internal space of the housing; wherein at least some of the blind holes are arranged around the periphery of the plurality of light-transmitting holes.

[0016] In some embodiments, the control component includes a circuit board, the light-emitting element is an LED bead soldered to the circuit board; the control component is configured to control multiple LED beads to emit light in combination to present a light-emitting pattern, thereby indicating the working status of the card recorder; and / or, the LED beads are configured to emit light of at least two different colors.

[0017] In some embodiments, the housing has an operating main wall and a mounting main wall disposed opposite to each other. The operating main wall is provided with a plurality of light-transmitting holes. The card-type recorder is configured to be detachably mounted to an external device. The mounting main wall of the housing is used to support the external device, so that the operating main wall is disposed opposite to the external device, thereby facilitating the user's observation of the plurality of light-transmitting holes.

[0018] The card-type recorder based on the embodiments of this application includes a light source assembly comprising multiple light-emitting elements arranged in an array, with each light-emitting element corresponding to a light-transmitting hole in the housing. The aforementioned "displaying the working status of the card-type recorder according to a preset mode" refers to forming a multi-point light source through multiple arrayed light-emitting elements, and controlling the illumination state of these elements through a control component. Different illumination combinations create various patterns, visually reflecting different usage states of the card-type recorder, such as recorder start / stop and remaining battery power. Thus, different patterns can be displayed on the housing to indicate the current status of the card-type recorder. Compared to a display screen, the light-emitting elements are smaller and more flexible in arrangement, helping to reduce the device thickness while maintaining display functionality, thereby facilitating the thinner and lighter design of the card-type recorder and achieving a balance between portability and functionality.

[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0023] Due to the limitations of overall device size, card-type recorders typically use indicator lights as external displays to convey operational information, such as whether the device is powered on. However, indicator lights provide limited information and cannot reflect complex operating states simultaneously, such as remaining battery power or operating mode. Users often need to rely on external devices to confirm this information, such as viewing device parameters through companion applications on external phones and computers, which is inconvenient. While display screens are a common way to convey optical information in other electronic devices, they require significant space, hindering the creation of thinner and lighter recorders, and therefore are not suitable for direct application in this field.

[0024] Based on this, this application provides a card-type recorder. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1 and Figure 2The card-type recorder 1 includes a housing 10, a control component 20, and a light source component 30. The housing 10 has multiple light-transmitting holes 101. The control component 20 is located inside the housing 10. The light source component 30 includes multiple light-emitting elements 31. The multiple light-emitting elements 31 are arranged in an array, and the multiple light-emitting elements 31 are arranged one-to-one with the multiple light-transmitting holes 101. The light emitted by the light-emitting elements 31 can be emitted to the external space through the light-transmitting holes 101. In this way, the array of multiple light-emitting elements 31 forms a multi-point light source.

[0025] The control component 20 is electrically connected to multiple light-emitting elements 31 of the light source component 30, and the control component 20 is configured to control the opening and closing of the multiple light-emitting elements 31 of the light source component 30 to display the working status of the card recorder 1 according to a preset pattern. Specifically, the control component 20 controls the lighting state of the multiple light-emitting elements 31 respectively, and different lighting combinations intuitively reflect the various usage states of the card recorder 1. In this way, the light emitted by the multiple light-emitting elements 31 projects different patterns on the outer surface of the housing 10 through the light-transmitting hole 101 to indicate the current status of the card recorder 1. Compared with the solution using a display screen, the light-emitting elements 31 are smaller in size and more flexible in arrangement. While ensuring the display function, they help to reduce the thickness of the device, which is conducive to the thin and light design of the card recorder 1, and achieves a balance between portability and functionality.

[0026] It should be noted that the preset modes, i.e., different working states of the card-type recorder 1, correspond to different lighting modes. The control component 20 calls the corresponding lighting mode according to the current working state signal. The lighting mode may include controlling the lighting combination of multiple light-emitting elements 31, as well as one or more of the colors and flashing frequencies of each light-emitting element 31. In this way, the user can intuitively identify the working state of the recorder through the pattern formed by the arrangement and changes of multiple light sources.

[0027] In practical use, the preset mode can be triggered by either active or passive methods: active triggering means that the control component 20 switches the lighting mode in response to the user's button operation, while passive triggering means that the control component 20 calls the corresponding lighting mode in response to the usage status of the card recorder 1, without the need for external operation. For example, the control component 20 automatically obtains the power after powering on and displays it in the corresponding lighting mode.

[0028] In some embodiments, the card-type recorder 1 includes multiple preset modes, such as a battery level display mode, a recording status display mode, and a playback status display mode. Optionally, multiple arrayed light-emitting elements 31 can be divided into different display areas, each display area corresponding to one or more preset modes to indicate a corresponding working status. By independently controlling the light-emitting elements 31 in different display areas, the control component 20 can simultaneously acquire and feedback multiple working parameters, enabling the card-type recorder 1 to display multiple pieces of information in parallel within a limited area, thereby improving the richness of information transmission and the intuitiveness of the display. Optionally, multiple arrayed light-emitting elements 31 together form a display area. In response to a user's button trigger operation, the control component 20 controls the display area to indicate the corresponding working status according to the preset mode.

[0029] In some embodiments, the control component 20 includes a circuit board 21, and the light-emitting element 31 is an LED chip soldered to the circuit board 21. The control component 20 is configured to control multiple LED chips to emit light in combination to present a light-emitting pattern, thereby displaying the working status of the card-type recorder 1. For example, as... Figure 3 As shown, the black light-transmitting hole 101 corresponds to the LED beads within it being illuminated, and multiple illuminated LED beads form a "speaker" pattern to indicate the playback function. Alternatively, multiple LED beads can form a "battery" pattern to indicate the battery status, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the number of columns of illuminated LEDs indicates the remaining battery power. For example, as... Figure 5 As shown, multiple LEDs form a double-strip pattern to indicate the recording progress, and multiple LEDs form a triangular pattern to indicate the recording paused state. It is understood that the above-described light-emitting patterns are exemplary; in actual design, those skilled in the art can select the number of rows and columns of the light-emitting element array 31 and formulate the light-emitting pattern based on design requirements. Through this patterned display, the working status of the card-type recorder 1 is presented in a symbolic form. Compared to the traditional method of distinguishing status by flashing indicator lights, the information expression of the card-type recorder 1 in this embodiment is more intuitive and easier to identify, thereby improving the user experience.

[0030] In some embodiments, the control component 20 controls the LEDs to be in a constant-on or flashing state to form a constant-on or flashing light pattern, thereby indicating that the card recorder 1 is in different operating states. Optionally, a flashing light pattern indicates that the card recorder 1 is in a function selection state. Alternatively, a constant-on light pattern indicates that a certain function of the card recorder 1 is in operation, and a flashing light pattern indicates that the function of the card recorder 1 is paused. For example, a constant-on "speaker" pattern indicates playback, and a flashing "speaker" pattern indicates that playback is paused.

[0031] In some embodiments, the LEDs are configured to emit at least two different colors of light, and the different operating states of the card recorder 1 are distinguished by the color change of the luminous pattern. For example, the LEDs are configured to emit red and green light, with a green luminous pattern indicating that a certain function of the card recorder 1 is in operation, and a red luminous pattern indicating that the function of the card recorder 1 is paused. As another example, a green "battery" pattern indicates that the battery power is normal (when the remaining power is lower than a preset threshold), and a red "battery" pattern indicates that the battery power is insufficient.

[0032] Please see Figure 6 and Figure 7 The card-type recorder 1 also includes a light-shielding member 40, which has multiple light-transmitting holes 410, each corresponding to a light-transmitting hole 101. The control assembly 20 also includes a circuit board 21, on which multiple light-emitting elements 31 are disposed. In the thickness direction of the card-type recorder 1, the light-emitting elements 31 are spaced apart from the housing 10, and the light-shielding member 40 is sandwiched between the circuit board 21 and the housing 10. A portion of each light-emitting element 31 is disposed within the light-transmitting hole 410, and the light emitted by the light-emitting element 31 passes sequentially through the light-transmitting hole 410 and the light-transmitting hole 101 before exiting into the external space. The light-shielding member 40 forms a circumferential blockage of the light-emitting elements 31 to suppress light scattering and improve the clarity and display effect of the illuminated pattern.

[0033] For example, the light-shielding component 40 can be made of light-shielding foam, such as EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate) foam, PU (Polyurethane) foam, etc. Alternatively, the light-shielding component 40 can also be made of rubber or silicone materials. Alternatively, the light-shielding component 40 can be made of plastic materials, such as ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene), PC (Polycarbonate), etc., forming a rigid light-shielding structure through injection molding, resulting in high hole position accuracy and good dimensional stability.

[0034] In some embodiments, the light-emitting element 31 and the wall surface of the housing 10 defining the light-transmitting hole 101 are spaced apart along the axial direction X of the light-transmitting hole 101, and the distance is A, where A satisfies: 1mm ≤ A ≤ 2.5mm. By controlling the distance A to satisfy the above condition, the light-shielding member 40 is appropriately sized for mounting in the thickness direction X of the card recorder 1, avoiding excessive distance A from affecting the thin and light design of the card recorder 1, and minimizing the light efficiency loss of the light-emitting element 31 within the housing 10, resulting in a better display effect of the luminous pattern. Furthermore, limiting the minimum value aims to prevent interference between adjacent light-emitting elements 31 if they are too close to the surface, which could lead to a blurred pattern. Therefore, A is limited to ≥ 1mm to reduce mutual interference between the light-emitting elements 31.

[0035] In some embodiments, the housing 10 includes a first housing 11 and a second housing 12, the first housing 11 being detachably mounted to the second housing 12. The first housing 11 has an operating main wall surface 110, and the second housing 12 has a mounting main wall surface 120. The first housing 11 and the second housing 12 define an internal space for accommodating components such as the control assembly 20. The detachable mounting structure between the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 includes one or more of snap-fit, adhesive, and fastener connections.

[0036] Please see Figure 7 and Figure 8 In some embodiments, the housing 10 includes a first main wall 111 and an auxiliary side wall 112. The first main wall 111 has a plurality of light-transmitting holes 101. The auxiliary side wall 112 is arranged around the periphery of the plurality of light-transmitting holes 101 and is connected to the first main wall 111. The first main wall 111 and the auxiliary side wall 112 together define a positioning groove 102. The portion of the light-shielding member 40 away from the circuit board 21 is disposed in the positioning groove 102. The light-shielding member 40 is fixedly installed in a preset position so that the light-transmitting hole 410 of the light-shielding member 40 is aligned with the light-transmitting hole 101 of the first main wall 111. The fixed installation structure makes it difficult for the light-shielding member 40 to shift or detach during assembly and use, thereby improving the stability of the card recorder 1 in long-term use.

[0037] In some embodiments, the light-shielding member 40 is an elastic light-shielding member. This elastic member can fit tightly against the housing 10 and the circuit board 21 during assembly, further improving the assembly stability of the light-shielding member 40. The light-shielding member 40 abuts against the surface of the circuit board 21, and the portion of the light-emitting element 31 protruding from the circuit board 21 is disposed within the light-transmitting hole 410, effectively suppressing light emitted by the light-emitting element 31 from entering adjacent light-transmitting holes 410. In the axial direction X of the light-transmitting hole 101, the thickness of the light-shielding member 40 is greater than the thickness of the auxiliary sidewall 112, so that at least a portion of the light-shielding member 40 can extend out of the positioning groove 102 and abut against the surface of the circuit board 21, effectively blocking the leakage of non-target light. Optionally, the axial direction X of the light-transmitting hole 101 is parallel to the thickness direction of the card-type recorder 1.

[0038] In some embodiments, the diameter of the light-transmitting hole 410 is larger than the diameter of the light-transmitting hole 101 to avoid the formation of dark areas at the edge of the light-transmitting hole 101 due to its larger size. Furthermore, the light-transmitting hole 410 and the corresponding light-transmitting hole 101 are coaxially arranged, and the light path center of the light-transmitting hole 410 and the light-transmitting hole 101 are aligned, making the light distribution more uniform and improving the visual uniformity of the point light source formed by the light-emitting element 31.

[0039] Please see Figure 9 The control component 20 includes a circuit board 21, on which multiple light-emitting elements 31 are disposed. A portion of each light-emitting element 31 is disposed within a light-transmitting hole 101, allowing light emitted by the light-emitting element 31 to exit through the corresponding light-transmitting hole 101 towards the external space. The multiple light-transmitting holes 101 of the housing 10 are arranged at intervals, and the walls of the housing 10 define the light-transmitting holes 101 to form a circumferential shield against the light-emitting elements 31, thereby suppressing the scattering of light emitted by the light-emitting elements 31 from adjacent light-transmitting holes 101 and improving the display effect of the illuminated pattern. Furthermore, the embedded arrangement of the light-emitting elements 31 within the light-transmitting holes 101 of the housing 10 helps reduce their size in the thickness direction, achieving a thinner card-type recorder 1.

[0040] In some embodiments, the housing 10 further includes a plurality of through holes 103, which connect the internal space and the external space of the housing 10. The through holes 103 can be configured as vents, heat dissipation holes, sound outlet holes, etc. In the axial direction X perpendicular to the light-transmitting hole 101, at least some of the through holes 103 are located on the outside of the light-shielding member 40, that is, at least some of the through holes 103 are not blocked by the light-shielding member 40.

[0041] Please see Figure 10In some embodiments, the housing 10 has a plurality of blind holes 104, which are formed on the outer surface of the housing 10 and spaced apart from the internal space of the housing 10. That is, the blind holes 104 are provided on the outer surface of the housing 10, and the depth of the blind holes 104 is less than the wall thickness of the housing 10. At least some of the blind holes 104 are arranged around the outer periphery of the plurality of light-transmitting holes 101. For example, all the blind holes 104 are arranged around the outer periphery of the plurality of light-transmitting holes 101. Or, for example, the plurality of light-transmitting holes 101, the plurality of blind holes 104, and the plurality of through holes 103 are concentrated in the same area of ​​the housing 10, and some of the blind holes 104 are arranged around the outer periphery of the plurality of light-transmitting holes 101, while other blind holes 104 are arranged around the outer periphery of the plurality of through holes 103.

[0042] Although the blind holes 104 are structurally opaque, multiple blind holes 104 can form a continuous array with multiple light-transmitting holes 101 in appearance, thereby visually increasing the proportion of the hole array on the outer surface of the housing 10, helping users to naturally focus on the area when observing. Furthermore, the different depths of the blind holes 104 and the light-transmitting holes 101, and the difference in their light transmittance, create a hierarchy of light and shadow, making the light-transmitting holes 101 more visually prominent. Users can more quickly identify areas that may emit light, thus improving visual guidance and the intuitiveness of information prompts.

[0043] In some embodiments, the card-type recorder 1 further includes multiple button caps 50, each button cap 50 being used by a user to press and activate a corresponding function of the card-type recorder 1. The housing 10 includes a first main wall 111, the outer contour of which is polygonal, for example, the first main wall 111 is a rectangle as shown in the figure. The button caps 50 are positioned at one corner of the first main wall 111. The first main wall 111 has multiple light-transmitting holes 101, which are concentrated at another corner of the first main wall 111. In a direction perpendicular to the axial direction X of the light-transmitting holes 101, the button caps 50 are arranged side-by-side with the area containing the multiple light-transmitting holes 101. For example, the area where the button cap 50 and multiple light-transmitting holes 101 are located is arranged side by side along the length or width of the first main wall 111. This arrangement on the same side can reduce the need for users to switch their gaze and adjust their hands when confirming the operation status. Moreover, based on the user's general operating habits, the position of the light-transmitting holes 101 is often not blocked by the hand. When the user operates the button, they only need to make a small movement of their gaze or even not move at all to see the luminous pattern in the display area, which improves the ease of use of the product.

[0044] Please see Figure 11 and Figure 12In some embodiments, at least some of the light-emitting elements 31 are arranged along the first direction Y, and the distance between two adjacent light-emitting elements 31 arranged along the first direction Y is L1, where L1 satisfies: 0.7mm≤L1≤2mm. For example, L1 can be 0.7mm, 0.8mm, 1mm, 1.2mm, 2mm or any range of the above. By controlling the distance L1 to satisfy the above condition, the density of the light-emitting elements 31 arranged along the first direction Y is appropriate, which is conducive to forming a coherent and distinguishable graphic outline. The light-emitting pattern formed by multiple light-emitting elements 31 is clear and easy to identify, avoiding the overlap of light spots formed by adjacent light-emitting elements 31 on the outer surface of the housing 10 due to the distance L1 being too small, thus blurring the pattern. At the same time, it avoids the point light sources of the light-emitting pattern in the first direction Y being too discrete due to the distance L1 being too large, making it difficult to identify.

[0045] In some embodiments, at least some of the light-emitting elements 31 are arranged along the second direction Z, and the distance between two adjacent light-emitting elements 31 arranged along the second direction Z is L2, where L2 satisfies: 0.7mm ≤ L2 ≤ 2mm. For example, L2 can be 0.7mm, 0.8mm, 1mm, 1.2mm, 2mm, or any range of the above. By controlling the distance L2 to satisfy the above condition, the density of the light-emitting elements 31 arranged along the second direction Z is appropriate, which is beneficial to forming a coherent and distinguishable graphic outline. The light-emitting pattern formed by multiple light-emitting elements 31 is clear and easy to identify, avoiding the overlap of light spots formed by adjacent light-emitting elements 31 on the outer surface of the housing 10 due to the distance L2 being too small, thus blurring the pattern. At the same time, it avoids the point light sources of the light-emitting pattern in the second direction Z being too scattered due to the distance L2 being too large, making it difficult to identify. The axial direction X, the first direction Y, and the second direction Z of the light-transmitting hole 101 are mutually perpendicular.

[0046] In this embodiment of the application, the application does not limit the usage scenario of the card recorder 1. For example, the card recorder 1 can be used alone, or the card recorder 1 can be configured to be detachably installed on an external device. The external device can be a mobile phone, a laptop or other portable electronic device, or a table, a bookshelf or other facility.

[0047] In some embodiments, the housing 10 has an operating main wall 110 and a mounting main wall 120 arranged opposite to each other.
