Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a schematic view of a direct-type light emitting structure, in which a light emitting module 110 is located below a light guiding layer 120, and this structure has a large demand on a longitudinal space of an electronic device, which increases the thickness of the electronic device. However, the current electronic device is developed in a light and thin direction, and obviously, the direct type light emitting structure cannot adapt to the development direction of the current electronic device. Referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a schematic view of a side-lighting structure, which is a structure commonly used in a conventional key lamp, and a light-emitting module 210 in the side-lighting structure is located on one side of a light-guiding layer 220, which increases the lateral size of an electronic device. The thickness of the light guide layer 220 in the side-emitting structure is limited due to cost and space limitations. The light emitting module 210 has a larger size due to the requirement of the electronic device for light emitting power. At present, the light emitting width of the light emitting module 210 is larger than the thickness of the light guiding layer 220, so that only a small portion of the light emitting module 210 enters the light guiding layer 220, and most of the light is scattered at other parts of the electronic device and is not utilized. In order to satisfy the requirement for the brightness of the key lamp, the electronic device inevitably needs to increase the power consumption of the light emitting module 210, which not only causes the waste of the battery resource of the electronic device, but also causes the local temperature rise of the electronic device, and further affects the service life of the electronic device. Therefore, the existing structure can not meet the problems of light utilization rate and vertical space occupation.

Therefore, the key lamp disclosed by the embodiment of the invention can prolong the service life of the electronic equipment and meet the requirement of longitudinal space.
The structure and working process of the key lamp of the light collecting member with several specific structures are briefly described below.
In the invention, the light collecting piece is arranged at the light inlet side of the light guide layer and is provided with the reflecting inclined plane capable of reflecting light rays into the light guide layer, and the reflecting inclined plane can reflect the light rays which cannot be projected into the light guide layer. Referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a schematic structural diagram of a key lamp. In the key lamp shown in fig. 3, the light collecting member is a wedge 330, a wedge space is formed between the wedge 330 and the light incident surface of the light guiding layer 320, the wider end of the wedge space is located between the narrower end of the wedge space and the light emitting module 310, and the surface of the wedge 330 opposite to the light guiding layer 320 is a reflection inclined surface. The light projection direction of the light emitting module 310 is parallel to the light guide layer 320, and part of the light emitted by the light emitting module 310 is directly projected into the light guide layer 320, and part of the light is emitted to the emitting inclined surface of the wedge 330 and is reflected into the light guide layer 320 through the emitting inclined surface of the wedge 330, so that the part of the light is collected to the light guide layer 320 to be utilized.
The structure having the reflective slope is not limited to the wedge 330, and may be other structures having the reflective slope. The invention is not limited in this regard.
In the invention, the laser part can be a light guide column, the light inlet end of the light guide column is arranged opposite to the light outlet end of the light emitting module, and the light outlet end of the light guide column is arranged opposite to one side edge of the light guide layer. After light emitted by the light emitting module enters the light guide column, the light is guided by the light guide column and collected to the light guide layer.
Referring to fig. 4, in an embodiment, the light emitting module 410 and the light guiding layer 420 are located in the same plane. In this case, the light guide pillar does not need to be bent. Specifically, the light guide column may be a tapered light guide column 430, specifically, the end of the tapered light guide column 430 with the larger cross-sectional area is arranged opposite to the light emitting end of the light emitting module 410, and the end of the tapered light guide column 430 with the smaller cross-sectional area is arranged opposite to the edge of one side of the light guide layer 420. Specifically, the tapered light guide 430 may have a trapezoidal shape in a longitudinal section passing through the axis thereof. In a preferred embodiment, the trapezoid is an asymmetrically shaped trapezoid, such as a right angle trapezoid, with respect to the axis of the tapered light pipe 430, as shown in FIG. 4. The asymmetric shape facilitates the light rays to be converged and then more incident into the light guide layer 420, thereby improving the light utilization rate.
In order to make the light emitted from the light emitting module 410 enter the tapered light guiding pillar 430 as much as possible, preferably, the width of the end of the tapered light guiding pillar 430 with the larger cross-sectional area may be greater than the width of the light emitting end of the light emitting module 410. Preferably, the width of the end of the tapered light guide bar 430 with the smaller cross-sectional area may be greater than the width of the edge of the corresponding side of the light guide layer 420, so that more light is projected onto the light guide layer 420.

The curved light guide 530 can flexibly adjust the distribution of the light emitting module 510 and the light guide layer 520.
Similarly, in order to further improve the light utilization rate, in a preferred embodiment, the width of the light inlet end of the curved light guide pillar 530 may be greater than the width of the light outlet end of the light emitting module 510, so that the light emitted by the light emitting module 510 is projected into the curved light guide pillar 530 as much as possible. The width of the light exit end of the curved light guide 530 may be greater than the width of the edge of the corresponding side of the light guide layer 520, so that more light is projected into the light guide layer 520.
Referring to fig. 5 again, the curved light guide pillar 530 may include a light incident section 531, a connection section 532, and a light emergent section 533, wherein one end of the light incident section 531 is opposite to the light emitting module 510, the other end of the light incident section is connected to one end of the connection section 532, the other end of the connection section 532 is connected to one end of the light emergent section 533, the other end of the light emergent section 533 is disposed opposite to one side edge of the light guide layer 520, and the light emergent section 533 and the light incident section 531 are respectively disposed on two sides of the connection section 532 and extend toward a direction away from each other. The asymmetric structure is advantageous for adjusting the position between the light emitting module 510 and the light guiding layer 520, and is also advantageous for arranging other components of the electronic device.
In the embodiment of the invention, the light-emitting module can be an LED lamp, and the LED lamp has the advantages of low power consumption, low heat productivity, environmental protection, long service life and the like, and can further prolong the service life of the key lamp.
