2A is a schematic view showing the appearance of a combined letter illuminator according to a first embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2B is a perspective view of the combined letter illuminator shown in FIG. 2A. The combined letter illuminator according to the present invention comprises a casing, at least one light emitting diode and at least two connecting conductive units, and please refer to FIG. 2A and FIG. 2B simultaneously. In this embodiment, the combined letter illuminator 2 series has one light-emitting diode 21 and four connected conductive units 22 as an example, but it should be emphasized first that the number of the two is not limited, and in other embodiments, there may be two One or three light emitting diodes 21, or may have three, five or six connected conductive units 22. In addition, the installation position of the connecting conductive unit 22 shown in FIG. 2A or FIG. 2B can also be adjusted as appropriate. For details, please refer to the following.

The housing 23 of the combined letter illuminator 2 has substantially a letter shape. Specifically, the letters may include Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean, French, Thai, Arabic, Greek, Latin, Hebrew or The Russian alphabet, for example, shown in Figs. 2A and 2B, is the shape in which the casing 23 has the English letter "A". However, the above-mentioned letter types are merely examples of the letters of the current mainstream languages, and others that are not stated and have the same or similar meanings should be considered as the scope of the present invention. In addition, in Chinese or Japanese kanji, for example, "fast" and "music" are generally referred to as two "words" rather than two "letters", but after they are combined, they can still be like the five English letters "HAPPY". Generally speaking, "fast" or "le" is a type of letter referred to in the present invention. Of course, other Chinese, Japanese, or similar languages have the same text.

The above-mentioned "substantially", in particular, is based on the overall appearance of the appearance, whether it can be judged by visual judgment as a specific letter, without being restricted by any font or glyph, or other functions set by function. The influence of the structure is such that, as shown in FIG. 2A, both sides of the casing 23 having the English letter shape A have, for example, protrusions 231 provided for convenient connection, but the overall shape can be judged, so the shell The body 23, or the same or similar to the housing 23, is also referred to in the present invention as having substantially a letter shape.

Further, in another embodiment of the present invention, the shape of the housing of the combined letter illuminator is not limited to the shape of a single letter, but may be, for example, a shape composed of plural letters such as "AND" or "OR".

The LED 21 is received in the housing 23 and is electrically connected to a circuit board 24. In detail, the circuit board 24 carrying the light-emitting diodes 21 can be further disposed, for example, on one side of the inner surface of the housing 23, or fixed to the housing 23 without contact by other plate bodies or cylindrical support structures.

The housing 23 is preferably made of a light transmissive or semi-transparent material. In the embodiment, the housing 23 is made of translucent glass, glass, plastic or leather, and is preferably matched with other light guiding designs. The light emitted from the light-emitting diode 21 can be emitted from either side of the casing 23 to achieve the effect that the entire letter of the visually-combined letter illuminator 2 is bright.

Additionally, in other embodiments of the invention, the housing 23 may also have a color or a pattern or pattern thereon. Alternatively, the back side 232 of the housing 23 can be provided with, for example, a suction cup, a hook, a hole or a silicone coating so that the combined letter illuminator 2 can be attached or hung at a position desired by the user.

The current can be introduced into the next combined letter illuminator (not shown in this figure, please refer to the following) to achieve a single use of the power input.

Furthermore, since the magnetic element 221 itself has two poles, it can be used as a reference for setting the direction of current flow in actual use. In other words, even if the housing 23 is not intentionally marked, it is magnetically attracted or repelled by the user. It can be operated intuitively, which is a misconnection prevention mechanism or a foolproof mechanism to prevent current conflict or confusion.

The connecting conductive unit 22 can be disposed in the housing 23 by inlaying, and in the embodiment, the magnetic element 221 and the electrodes 222, 223 are exposed on the outer surface of the housing 23, but the three together form a flat surface.

In addition, referring to FIG. 4B, although each of the connected conductive units 22 in the present embodiment is connected to the wiring on the same side of the connection circuit board 24, in other embodiments, the circuit board 24 may also be wired in a through manner. Connect directly from the back side.

However, it should be specially noted that FIG. 4B mainly clarifies the circuit layout and the relative positional relationship of the main components, and simplifies the circuit board 24 and its wiring, which is directly expressed in the form of a single layer jumper, which may be slightly different from the actual situation. However, it will still be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art.
