The bending form of the side surface of the container housing 110 is determined according to the actual required container form, and the self-lighting support container 100 is formed into different container types such as a tray, a cup, a bottle, and a bowl.

The side wall of the container housing 110 facing the supporting cavity 117 (ie, the first side wall 115) is at least partially transparent, ensuring that light can penetrate the first side wall 115 and enter the supporting cavity 117, thereby realizing the supporting cavity 117 Autonomous lighting. The materials required for operation (such as shredded tobacco, soft candy, dice, playing cards, etc.) are placed in the support cavity 117. Under autonomous lighting, the user uses tobacco paper to make tobacco rolls into cigarettes, or uses sugar paper to roll soft candy Become a candy bar, or use dice, playing cards for entertainment games, to meet the various entertainment needs in the dark environment.

It can be understood that the first side wall 115 can maintain light transmission in a partial area or can maintain light transmission in the entire area, and its light transmittance is determined by the actual application environment. The first side wall 115 is at least partially made of a light-transmitting material, including light-transmitting plastic, light-transmitting glass, and the like.

It is added that the other side wall (ie, the second side wall 116) that is opposite to the first side wall 115 may be made of an opaque material or a light-transmitting material, and has opaque or light-transmitting characteristics. When the second side wall 116 remains opaque, the light of the first distributed light source 120 is concentrated in the supporting cavity 117, so that the illumination contrast between the supporting cavity 117 and the surrounding environment is higher, and the surrounding environment is prevented from being affected.

Exemplarily, the surface of the second side wall 116 facing the first side wall 115 is smooth, forms a mirror surface to reflect light to the first side wall 115, and then enters the receiving cavity 117 through the first side wall 115, further enhanced The light intensity of the support cavity 117. Exemplarily, the surface of the second side wall 116 facing the first side wall 115 may also be a matte surface, a matte surface, and other surface characteristics, corresponding to different lighting effects.

When function expansion is required, opening holes in the expandable area can keep the newly added control element 162 on the control panel 161, and the function can be quickly increased. Exemplarily, the expandable area has pre-cut marks,
