Referring to fig. 1 to 3, and fig. 5 to 8, an indicator lamp mounting structure according to an embodiment of the present application includes a carrier 10, a light guiding column 20, a light emitting body 30, and a reflector 40. The carrier shell 10 is a carrier main body of the whole indicator lamp mounting structure and is used for mounting the integrated light guide column 20, the luminous body 30 and the reflecting body 40; in addition, in actual use, the carrier shell 10 is also provided with other functional components such as a key device, a sound box device and the like, and the carrier shell is flexibly designed according to actual needs.

The carrier shell 10 may be made of metal, plastic, or the like. The carrier shell 10 may be integrally formed by an extrusion process, or may be assembled by at least two parts of a bottom shell and a shell cover.

The carrier 10 in this embodiment has a rectangular box structure. So that the carrier shell 10 has a simple structure and a regular shape, and the carrier shell 10 is provided with a light outlet 11. In order to avoid affecting the cleanliness of the appearance surface, the light emitting holes 11 are in a strip-shaped seam structure and are formed at the corner connecting positions of two adjacent long sides, so that a certain hiding effect can be formed, and meanwhile, the normal lighting can not be affected to play a role of an indicator lamp.

With continued reference to fig. 4, the light guide column 20 includes a light emitting portion 21 and a light guiding portion 22 connected to each other, where the light emitting portion 21 is matched with the light emitting hole 11, so as to ensure that the light emitted from the light emitting portion 21 can smoothly and completely enter the light emitting hole 11 and then be emitted to the outside from the light emitting hole 11. The light emitter 30 is disposed corresponding to the light guide 22, and the reflector 40 is disposed on the light guide pillar 20 to cover the light emitter 30.

With reference to fig. 3 and fig. 6 to 8, the indicator lamp mounting structure further includes a board 60, and the board 60 is mounted in the carrier 10 and electrically connected to the light emitting body 30. It is easy to understand that the board 60 can flexibly control the brightness, lighting mode, on-off state, etc. of the illuminant 30 in order to meet different use requirements, in addition to realizing the function of supplying power to the illuminant 30 to support the basic lighting thereof.

According to practical needs, the illuminant 30 may be any one or a combination of at least two of light bars, light beads, light bands, etc. And for the consideration of energy saving and consumption reduction, the luminous body 30 preferably adopts an LED lamp.

In summary, implementing the technical scheme of the embodiment has the following beneficial effects: the light guide and display structure of the light emitting body 30 in the above-mentioned scheme, especially relate to a light guide and display structure of the light emitting body 30, the light emitting body 30 is electrified and lightened and emits light rays when in use, wherein some light rays can be directly transmitted to the light emitting part 21 through the light guide part 22 and emitted from the light emitting part 21, because the light emitting part 21 is arranged in cooperation with the light emitting hole 11, the light rays emitted from the light emitting part 21 can form the lighting effect of the indicator light at the position of the light emitting hole 11; in addition, the rest of the light rays emitted by the light emitting body 30, which would otherwise overflow, are covered by the reflector 40, and then undergo a series of reflection and refraction after being irradiated onto the reflector 40, and finally return to the light guiding portion 22, and finally are emitted through the light emitting portion 21, so as to participate in the lighting operation at the light emitting hole 11. Therefore, compared with the prior art, the scheme can realize the maximum utilization of the light emitted by the illuminant 30, so that almost all the light can be conducted to the light emitting hole 11, thereby greatly improving the light utilization rate and the light brightness and improving the light emitting effect.

The light guide column 20 is a device that transmits light from one light source to another point at a distance from the light source with minimal loss. Light is transmitted inside the light guide 20 by total internal reflection. The light guide 20 is typically made of an optical material such as acrylic, polycarbonate, epoxy, glass, or the like. In practical use, the light guide column 20 has a plurality of application scenarios, for example, it can be used to transmit the LEDs on the PCB to the product panel to display the relevant status; light may also be collected and directed for use as a backlight for an LCD display; or may also be used to illuminate a pattern or the like on a light transmissive window.

On the basis of the above embodiment, the side surface of the light guiding portion 22 facing the reflector 40 is concavely formed with the light guiding groove 221, the light emitting body 30 is installed in the light guiding groove 221, and the reflector 40 covers the notch of the light guiding groove 221.

The light guide groove 221 is arranged to well accommodate the illuminant 30, so that the volume of the light guide part 22 and the volume of the illuminant 30 are at least partially overlapped, thereby reducing the whole occupied installation space and saving the internal space of the carrier shell 10; secondly, the light guide grooves 221 wrap at least part of the luminous bodies 30, so that a good circumferential limit installation effect can be achieved on the luminous bodies 30, and the installation stability of the luminous bodies 30 is improved; further, since the light guide groove 221 is formed concavely on the side surface of the light guide portion 22, the area of the light receiving surface of the light guide portion 22 is increased, so that the light emitted from the light emitting body 30 in multiple directions can be better received, the light utilization rate is improved, and the light emitting effect is further improved.

For example, in the present embodiment, the illuminant 30 is a cylinder, and the light guiding groove 221 is a bar-shaped groove with an arc-shaped cross section.

In still other embodiments, the groove walls of the light guide groove 221 are provided as smooth surfaces. The smooth surface has less blocking and reflecting effects on the light, so that the light emitted from the light emitting body 30 can more sufficiently enter the light guide 22.

Further, the side surface of the light emitting portion 21 away from the light guiding portion 22 is a light emitting surface 211, and the light emitting surface 211 is a frosted surface. The protruding and recessed structures with high arrangement density are formed on the frosted surface, and more refraction and the like can occur when light passes through the protruding and recessed structures, so that the light is more uniformly mixed, the light is more uniformly output on the light-emitting surface 211, and the light-emitting effect is improved.

As shown in fig. 4, the light emitting portion 21 is preferably inserted into the light emitting hole 11 in this embodiment. At this time, the light emitting surface 211 is flush with the hole end of the light emitting hole 11, which is close to the outer avoidance of the carrier shell 10, so that the light emitted by the light emitting surface 211 is prevented from being blocked by the wall of the light emitting hole 11, and meanwhile, the light emitting part 21 is inserted into the light emitting hole 11 and can be clamped by the wall of the light emitting hole 11, so that the light guide column 20 is more firmly installed.

In addition, in addition to any of the above embodiments, the indicator light mounting structure further includes a fixing assembly 50, where the fixing assembly 50 is disposed in the carrier 10 and abuts against the reflector 40. Therefore, the fixing assembly 50 can firmly press and fix the reflector 40, the illuminant 30 and the light guide column 20 on the inner side wall of the carrier shell 10, thereby improving the overall structural stability of the indicator lamp mounting structure.

Specifically, in one embodiment the fixing assembly 50 includes a fastener 51 and a fixing bracket 52, the fixing bracket 52 includes a connecting mounting portion 521 and a pressing portion, the mounting portion 521 is fixed to the carrier case 10 by the fastener 51, and the pressing portion is closely press-contacted with the reflector 40. For example, in this embodiment, the fastener 51 is a bolt, the mounting portion 521 is provided with a through hole, the inner wall of the carrier 10 is provided with a threaded post, and the bolt passes through the through hole and is screwed and fixed with the threaded post, so that the fixing bracket 52 can be locked and fixed on the carrier 10, and at this time, the pressing portion abuts against the surface of the reflector 40, so that the illuminant 30 and the light guide post 20 can be pressed and fixed on the surface of the carrier 10. The whole installation structure is simple, and the fixing reliability is high.

With continued reference to fig. 4, in some embodiments, the pressing portion includes a supporting piece 522 and an elastic pressing piece 523, the supporting piece 522 is integrally bent with the mounting portion 521, the elastic pressing piece 523 is integrally bent with the supporting piece 522, and the elastic pressing piece 523 is disposed at an acute angle with the supporting piece 522. Therefore, the mounting portion 521, the supporting piece 522 and the elastic pressing piece 523 are designed as an integral structure, which has better overall structural performance, and reduces the number of parts and the difficulty and time for assembling and disassembling the fixing assembly 50. And since the elastic pressing piece 523 and the supporting piece 522 are disposed at an acute angle to form an elastic hook body at this time, the elastic pressure due to the pressure applied to the reflector 40, the luminous body 30 and the light guide column 20 can prevent the reflector 40, the luminous body 30 and the light guide column 20 from being crushed due to excessive pressing as compared to the rigid pressure. The elastic pressing piece 523 has a certain elastic deformation at this time, so that the installation requirements of the reflectors 40, the luminous bodies 30 and the light guide columns 20 with different sizes can be met, and the application range of the fixing assembly 50 is enlarged.

In addition, the application further provides electronic equipment, which comprises the indicator lamp mounting structure according to any embodiment.

The technical features of the above-described embodiments may be arbitrarily combined, and all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are not described for brevity of description, however, as long as there is no contradiction between the combinations of the technical features, they should be considered as the scope of the description.

The above examples only represent a few embodiments of the present application, which are described in more detail and are not to be construed as limiting the scope of the claims. It should be noted that it would be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and improvements could be made without departing from the spirit of the present application, which would be within the scope of the present application.
