Abstract

The present invention discloses an illumination device controlled by a magnetic reed module in a cabinet, and the illumination device is installed in the cabinet and comprises: a magnetic reed module, further comprising a magnetic reed switch and a magnetic member installed in the cabinet and a drawer in the corresponding cabinet; an electronic module, having at least one light emitting diode, and coupled to a power supply device, and the power supply device being coupled to the magnetic reed switch, such that when the magnetic reed switch and the magnetic member approach one another or move away from one another to control a power ON/OFF, so as to control the light emitting diode to emit light and provide a safe automatic illumination function whenever the drawer is opened.

Claims

1. An illumination device controlled by a magnetic reed module in a cabinet, installed in the cabinet, and the cabinet comprising at least one drawer, and the illumination device comprising:

a magnetic reed module, further comprising;

a magnetic reed switch, installed on the drawer; and

a magnetic member, installed in the cabinet and at a corresponding position of the magnetic reed switch; and

an electronic module, comprising at least one light emitting diode coupled to a power supply device to supply electric power to the light emitting diode, and the power supply device being coupled to the magnetic reed module and used to control turning ON/OFF the power supply device, so as to control the light emitting diode to emit light.

2. The illumination device controlled by a magnetic reed module in a cabinet as recited in claim 1, wherein the cabinet and the drawer are pulled to move with respect to one another for the ON/OFF operation, such that the magnetic reed switch and the magnetic member of the magnetic reed module are contacted with one another or separated from one another to control a power supply of the power supply device.

3. The illumination device controlled by a magnetic reed module in a cabinet as recited in claim 2, wherein the magnetic reed module further comprises a containing space for containing the power supply device.

4. The illumination device controlled by a magnetic reed module in a cabinet as recited in claim 1, wherein the power supply device is a battery.

5. The illumination device controlled by a magnetic reed module in a cabinet as recited in claim 1, further comprising a tube for installing the electronic module.

6. The illumination device controlled by a magnetic reed module in a cabinet as recited in claim 5, wherein the tube is comprised of an illumination tube and a back tube, and the illumination tube is transparent, and the illumination tube is corresponsive to the light emitting diode.

7. The illumination device controlled by a magnetic reed module in a cabinet as recited in claim 5, wherein the electronic module comprises at least one press pillar disposed at the backside of the electronic module for abutting and securing the tube.

8. The illumination device controlled by a magnetic reed module in a cabinet as recited in claim 5, wherein the illumination device is installed on a lateral edge of the drawer and used as a side rod of a drawer.
