For some users who are less likely to operate the connection or removal of the connector, they often do not understand the corresponding structural relationship between the connector and the connector, and forcibly operate, which easily causes the connector pins to bend or surface. The condition of the injury. Even though most of the current electricity, the connector and connector configured by the device have been generally designed to prevent mis-insertion or slidable insertion, but the user wants to insert or remove the connector to the computer device. When you connect it, you still feel inconvenience. For the use of notebook computers, the notebook computer has the function of portability, and its function is no less than that of the desktop type. However, business people often need to connect different peripheral devices, such as flash drive, card reader, and projection, when they are doing presentations, graphic presentations, articles, and discussions. Machine and so on. It is often inconvenient when the user wants to insert or remove the connector. In addition to the computer devices used in general households and offices, if the computer device is used in an industrial setting, the placement of the computer device is often limited by environmental space and illumination, so that when the device is used, When the connector is removed or removed, the connection to the computer device is further inconvenient.

According to the technical means of the present invention, the present invention can provide illumination to the computer device by the auxiliary illumination device of the present invention when the user wants to insert or remove the connector from the connection of the computer device. Configuration area. In this way, the connector can be inserted or removed more conveniently and reliably, and the connector pins are less likely to be bent or damaged. Furthermore, the present invention can automatically turn off the illumination after a predetermined illumination time, while providing illumination to the connection of the computer device, and automatically turning off the illumination after a predetermined illumination time. Timely lighting can save energy consumption. [Embodiment] The first figure shows a rear view of a first embodiment of the present invention in which the auxiliary lighting device of the present invention is disposed in a port of a computer device, and the second figure shows a portion of the circle A in the first figure. Expand the perspective picture. In the structural design of the embodiment of the present invention, a notebook computer is described as a preferred embodiment. A connection configuration area 12 is formed on the back surface of the main body casing 11 of the notebook computer 1, and a plurality of connection ports 2 can be arranged (for example, a conventional printer connection port, an RS232 port port, a network port, Universal serial bus interface USB, 1254200 IEEE1394, etc.). The port configuration region 12 is generally formed as a recessed region and has a side wall surface. At least one of the insertion holes 13 is formed in the side wall surface of the connection port configuration area 12 for embedding at least one of the light-emitting elements 3 (see also the exploded perspective view shown in the third figure). The light generated by the light-emitting element 3 can be projected to the area around the connection port 2 in the connection port configuration region 12. The illuminating element 3 can be a conventional illuminating diode. In practical commercial design, LEDs of different color systems can be used to achieve the effect of recognition or highlighting. A trigger unit 31 is disposed at an appropriate position adjacent to the port configuration area 12. The trigger unit 31 is a manual switch, and the operator can trigger the light-emitting element 3 to start emitting light by pressing the trigger unit 31. The operating power required for the light-emitting element 3 can be directly supplied by the voltage generated by the battery or power supply circuit of the notebook computer 1. When the trigger unit 31 generates a trigger signal to supply the operating power supplied from the battery or the power supply circuit to the light-emitting element 3, the light emitted by the light-emitting element 3 can be projected to the connection port 2. The fourth drawing shows a rear perspective view of a second embodiment of the present invention in which the auxiliary lighting device of the present invention is disposed in a port of the computer device, and the fifth drawing shows an enlarged perspective view of the portion indicated by the circle B in the fourth figure. In the second embodiment of the present invention, in the connection port configuration area 12 on the back surface of the main body casing 11 of the notebook computer 1, a cover 4 is disposed, and the cover plate 4 is coupled to the pivot shaft (not shown). The main body casing 11 has a back surface and can cover and close the connection port arrangement region 12. 1254200 In the connection port arrangement region 12 of the main body casing 11, at least one light-emitting element 3 is also embedded. The light generated by the light-emitting element 3 can be projected to the area around the connection port 2 in the connection port configuration region 12. In this embodiment, a trigger unit 32 is provided which is responsive to the cover 4 and generates a trigger signal, and is disposed in the connection port configuration area 12 of the main body housing 11. When the cover 4 is closed in the connection configuration area 12, the trigger unit 32 forms an open state, so that no trigger signal is generated, and when the cover 4 is opened by the user, the trigger unit 32 forms a closed state. Therefore, a trigger signal is generated to cause the light-emitting element 3 to generate light and project toward the connection port 2. In the foregoing two embodiments, a manually operable trigger unit and a trigger unit that can be touched by the cover are respectively described as an embodiment. In the actual application, a trigger unit that can be manually operated and can be touched by the cover can be simultaneously disposed in the main body casing 11 of the notebook computer 1. The sixth figure shows a control circuit diagram of the present invention. One end of the trigger unit 31, 32 is connected to a working power supply Vcc, and the other end is connected to a trigger circuit 51. When any one of the trigger units 31, 32 is triggered, a trigger signal si is generated by the trigger circuit 51, and a light projection control signal s2 is generated via a timing circuit 52 to control a switching element 53 to be closed. When the switching element 53 is triggered to be closed, the operating power source 54 supplied from the battery of the notebook computer 1 or the computer power supply circuit can supply electric energy to the light-emitting element 3 to generate light. While the timing circuit 52 generates the light projection control signal s2, the timing circuit 52 also initiates a timing operation for a predetermined time (e.g., 10 seconds) of light projection. When the light projection reaches a predetermined time, the timer circuit 52 stops sending the light projection control signal s2, so that the operating power supplied to the 1254200 light-emitting element 3 is automatically cut off. Figure 7 is a rear perspective view showing a third embodiment of the present invention in which a cold light panel auxiliary lighting device of the present invention is disposed in a port of a computer device. In this embodiment, similar to the previous embodiment, it is also provided in the connection configuration area of the main body of the notebook computer, and the illumination function is provided, but the light-emitting element 3 is changed from the LED to the EL ( Electroluminescent type cold light plate 6. The luminescent panel 6 can be disposed in at least one planar region of the port configuration region 12 to provide a lighting function.
