Abstract
A battery pack disclosed in the present description includes an outer case including a display portion and an opening portion, wherein the display portion includes one or more display windows; a battery cell housed in the outer case; a substrate housed in the outer case, wherein one or more light emitting elements corresponding to the one or more display windows are mounted on the substrate; and a light shielding wall housed in the outer case, wherein the light shielding wall is arranged to block the opening portion and the one or more light emitting elements from each other.
Claims19
A battery pack comprising:
- an outer case including a display portion and an opening portion, the display portion including one or more display windows;
- a battery cell housed in the outer case;
- a substrate housed in the outer case, the substrate having a first surface facing the opening portion and a second surface opposite the first surface;
- one or more light emitting elements corresponding to the one or more display windows mounted on the second surface of the substrate;
- a light guiding member housed in the outer case, the light guiding member including:
- one or more light transmitting members corresponding to the one or more light emitting elements and the one or more display windows, each of the one or more light transmitting members including a light receiving surface and a light projecting surface, the light receiving surface receiving light emitted from one of the one or more light emitting elements, and the light projecting surface projecting the light received on the light receiving surface onto one of the one or more display windows;
- and
- a light shielding member including:
- a partition wall arranged to block the light transmitting members, which are adjacent to each other, from each other;
- and
- an extended wall extending from the partition wall, the extended wall being arranged to block the light emitting elements, which are adjacent to each other, from each other;
- and
- a light shielding wall housed in the outer case, the light shielding wall being arranged to block the opening portion and the one or more light emitting elements from each other, a part of the light shielding member constituting the light shielding wall,
- wherein the light shielding wall contacts the first surface of the substrate and the extended wall contacts the second surface of the substrate so that the light guiding member engages an end portion of the substrate.

A battery pack comprising:
- an outer case including a display portion and an opening portion, the display portion including one or more display windows;
- a battery cell housed in the outer case;
- a substrate housed in the outer case,
- one or more light emitting elements corresponding to the one or more display windows mounted on the substrate;
- a light guiding member housed in the outer case, the light guiding member including:
- one or more light transmitting members corresponding to the one or more light emitting elements and the one or more display windows, each of the one or more light transmitting members including a light receiving surface and a light projecting surface, the light receiving surface receiving light emitted from one of the one or more light emitting elements, and the light projecting surface projecting the light received on the light receiving surface onto one of the one or more display windows;
- and
- a light shielding member provided with a rib;
- a light shielding wall housed in the outer case, the light shielding wall being arranged to block the opening portion and the one or more light emitting elements from each other, a part of the light shielding member constituting the light shielding wall, and
- a cell case housed in the outer case, the cell case supporting the battery cell, the substrate, and the light guiding member, the cell case being provided with a guide groove corresponding to the rib,
- wherein the rib is housed into the guide groove when the light guiding member is attached to the cell case.
