Abstract

A fuse seat having light-emitting module includes an insulating body, two electricity-conducting pieces and a light-emitting module. The insulating body is arranged with an accommodating space, in which two electricity-conducting pieces are fixed respectively. A fuse is plugged into the accommodating space and connected conductively to the electricity-conducting pieces. The light-emitting module is hidden in the insulating body and is connected electrically to the electricity-conducting pieces, thus a cost-saving effect is thereby achieved.

Claims

1. A fuse seat having light-emitting module, including:

an insulating body, arranged with an accommodating space at top of the inside thereof and two fixing troughs being located under the accommodating space and inside the insulating body;

two electricity-conducting pieces, fixed in the two fixing troughs, respectively, a fuse having a shell, two metallic inserting pieces accommodated in the shell and partially exposed out of the shell, and a positioning trough accommodated inside the shell and formed between the two metallic inserting pieces, the fuse being plugged in the accommodating space and being connected conductively to the two electricity-conducting pieces by the two metallic inserting pieces; and

a light-emitting module, sitting on and connected electrically to the two electricity-conducting pieces so that after the fuse is plugged in the accommodating space the light-emitting module is hidden in the positioning trough of the fuse.

2. The fuse seat having light-emitting module according to claim 1, wherein a trough path is formed between two fixing troughs, while the light-emitting module has two conductively connecting legs plugged in the trough path and respectively interconnected to the two electricity-conducting pieces conductively.

3. The fuse seat having light-emitting module according to claim 1, wherein the electricity-conducting piece includes an abutting connecting parts and two elastically clipping holding part extended from two sides of the abutting connecting part and wound inward, and wherein an inserting trough is formed between the elastically clipping holding part and the abutting connecting part, while the light-emitting module has two conductively connecting legs respectively plugged in the two inserting troughs.

4. The fuse seat having light-emitting module according to claim 3, wherein two inserting troughs are provided for the two metallic inserting pieces of the fuse conductively plugged in and connected to, respectively.

5. The fuse seat having light-emitting module according to claim 1, wherein the light-emitting module has two conductively connecting legs respectively connected to the two electricity-conducting pieces electrically, a circuit board connected to the two electricity-conducting pieces electrically, an LED lamp electrically connected to the circuit board and a resistance electrically connected to the circuit board.

6. The fuse seat having light-emitting module of hidden type according to claim 1, wherein the light-emitting module is an LED.

7. The fuse seat having light-emitting module according to claim 1, further including two electric wires respectively connected to the two electricity-conducting pieces electrically and passing through the insulating body.

8. The fuse seat having light-emitting module according to claim 1, further including two inserting connecting pieces respectively extended out of the two electricity-conducting pieces and passing through a bottom of the insulating body.

9. The fuse seat having light-emitting module according to claim 8, further including two hooking parts projected respectively out of the inserting connecting pieces to hook up the bottom of the insulating body.
