Embodiment
See also Fig. 3, the device for locating optical pointer 100 of present embodiment mainly includes a housing 110, an elasticity light-passing board 120, one movable refractile body 130, one movable inductor 140, a light source 150, an actuator 160, a first circuit board 170, a second circuit board 180, two elastic partss 190 and a condenser lens 195.
As shown in Figure 3, housing 110 has an opening 111.Elasticity light-passing board 120 is to be connected in housing 110, and covers opening 111.
First circuit board 170, second circuit board 180 and two elastic partss 190 all are to be arranged among the housing 110.More detailed, first circuit board 170 is to be arranged on the second circuit board 180, and second circuit board 180 is to be fixed among the housing 110, and two elastic partss 190 then are to be connected between first circuit board 170 and the second circuit board 180.Therefore, first circuit board 170 can be done with respect to second circuit board 180 and move up and down.In addition, among present embodiment, two elastic partss 190 can adopt spring.
Movable refractile body 130 is to be arranged among the housing 110, and is to be positioned under the elasticity light-passing board 120.More detailed, movable refractile body 130 is to be connected in first circuit board 170, moves up and down so movable refractile body 130 can be done among housing 110.
Movable inductor 140 is to be arranged under the movable refractile body 130, and is with respect to opening 111.More detailed, movable inductor 140 also is to be connected in first circuit board 170, moves up and down so movable inductor 140 can be done among housing 110.
Light source 150 is to be arranged among the housing 110, and is to be adjacent to movable refractile body 130.It should be noted that light source 150 can optionally be connected in first circuit board 170 or second circuit board 180.When light source 150 was connected in first circuit board 170, it can do and move up and down along with first circuit board 170, and when light source 150 was connected in second circuit board 180, it then was to be fixed among the housing 110.Among present embodiment, light source 150 is to be connected in first circuit board 170, and light source 150 is to adopt a light emitting diode (LED).
Actuator 160 is to be arranged among the housing 110, and is to be positioned under the movable inductor 140.More detailed, actuator 160 is to be connected in second circuit board 180, and can optionally adopt the structure of a microswitch, a key switch or a thin film circuit switch.Among present embodiment, actuator 160 is to adopt the structure of a microswitch to do explanation.
