Abstract:
1. A contactless sensing device, comprising: a cover plate provided with a transparent display window, a plurality of light display holes, and a sensing element, wherein the sensing element is made of a light-permeable material; a case having an end surface coupled to the cover plate, the case being provided with a first opening, a plurality of light-emitting element receiving holes, and a second opening, the first opening corresponding in position to the transparent display window of the cover plate, the light-emitting element receiving holes corresponding in position and number to the light display holes of the cover plate, the second opening corresponding in position to the sensing element of the cover plate; a base coupled to an end surface of the case that is opposite the end surface coupled to the cover plate, such that the case and the base jointly form a accommodating space therebetween; a light-guiding module comprising an upper diffuser plate, a light-guiding plate, and a lower diffuser plate, the upper diffuser plate being a hollow frame-shaped structure, the light-guiding plate being sandwiched between the upper diffuser plate and the lower diffuser plate, the light-guiding module being provided in the accommodating space formed between the case and the base, wherein the upper diffuser plate of the light-guiding module has an end surface connected to a periphery of the second opening of the case; a printed circuit board provided in the accommodating space formed between the case and the base, the printed circuit board having a surface partially coupled to an end surface of the lower diffuser plate of the light-guiding module, the printed circuit board being provided with an antenna module, a power starter, a message display panel, a plurality of first light-emitting elements, at least a battery, at least an external computer connection hole, at least a security mechanism card, and at least an audio alarm module, the antenna module being configured to detect an object containing a specific tag through the sensing element of the cover plate and transmit information of the tag to the printed circuit board, the message display panel and the first light-emitting elements being provided on an end surface of the printed circuit board that faces the case and the cover plate, the message display panel corresponding in position to the first opening of the case and the transparent display window of the cover plate, the first light-emitting elements corresponding in position and number to the light-emitting element receiving holes of the case and the light display holes of the cover plate, wherein each said first light-emitting element emits light of a different color; and two lateral plates coupled respectively to two opposite inner lateral surfaces of the accommodating space formed between the case and the base, the two lateral plates being adjacent to lateral sides of the light-guiding module, respectively, each said lateral plate having an end surface which faces the light-guiding module and is provided with a plurality of second light-emitting elements arranged lengthwise and linearly along the each said lateral plate, wherein the second light-emitting elements are of various colors, and the second light-emitting elements of the various colors are arranged alternately and linearly on the each said lateral plate; wherein the printed circuit board, after receiving the information transmitted by the antenna module, displays ongoing processing statuses on the message display panel while instructing the first light-emitting elements and the second light-emitting elements to emit light whose colors correspond to different conditions, wherein the light emitted by the first light-emitting elements passes through the light-emitting element receiving holes of the case and is displayed through the light display holes of the cover plate, and the light emitted by the second light-emitting elements is displayed on the light-permeable sensing element of the cover plate through the light-guiding module and the second opening of the case.
