A position indicator 50 for providing light at all times, an illumination module 30 installed in the knob 20 and selectively providing light according to a user's operation force, And a diffusion module (40) for diffusing light generated in the illumination module (30).

The buried portion 10 is installed on a wall surface of a room.

The knob 20 is located inside the buried portion 10.

In the present embodiment, the knob 20 is rotated in the left-right direction by a predetermined angle.

For example, when the left side of the knob 20 is pressed, the lamp is turned off, and when the right side of the knob 20 is pressed, the lamp is turned on.

Since the circuit configuration in which the lamp is turned on by the operation of the knob 20 is a general technique to those skilled in the art, a detailed description is omitted.

The knob 20 includes a knob body 22 and a knob protrusion 24 projecting from the knob body 22 to the front.

The knob body 22 is formed flat in this embodiment. Unlike the present embodiment, the knob body 22 may have a curved surface or an irregular shape.

In the present embodiment, the position indicator 50, the illumination module 30, and the diffusion module 40 are disposed on the knob projection 24. The position indicator 50, the illumination module 30 or the diffusion module 40 may be installed in the knob body 22 or the buried portion 10, unlike the present embodiment.

The position indicator 50 is an LED that receives power and generates light.

The position indicator 50 always generates light to recognize the position of the knob 20 to the user.

In the present embodiment, the position indicator lamp 50 transmits light to the front surface of the knob protrusion 24.

For this purpose, a position hole 25 is formed in the front surface of the knob projection 24.

In this embodiment, the lighting module 30 is disposed in the knob projection 24. [

The lighting module 30 includes an illumination button 32 and an illumination 35 selectively generating light by an applied power source and electrically connecting the illumination button 32 and the illumination 35 to the illumination (Not shown) that selectively supplies power to the power supply units 35 and 35.

In the present embodiment, the illumination button 32 is disposed in the position hole 25.

Thus, the user can operate the lighting module 30 even in the low illuminance condition.

In particular, the illumination button 32 is located inside the position indicator lamp 50.

In the present embodiment, the position indicator 50 is formed in a circular shape, and the illumination button 32 is also formed in a circular shape. The position indicator light 50 and the illumination button 32 may be formed in a rectangular shape, unlike the present embodiment.

The illumination button 32 located inside the position indicator 50 can easily grasp the installation position even in a dark state due to the position indicator light 50. [

The illumination button 32 may be a touch switch, or may be a touch switch operated by sensing a user's body current.

The illumination 35 is located inside the knob projection 24.

In the present embodiment, a light hole 26 is formed on the upper side and the lower side of the knob protrusion 24 so as to be irradiated with light.

The light holes 26 may be formed at various positions, but in the present embodiment, they are arranged in the lengthwise direction of the knob projection 24. [

Therefore, the light generated in the light 35 may be irradiated upward or downward through the light hole 26.

Two of the illumination buttons 32 may be disposed on the upper side and the lower side of the knob projection 24.

Further, the position indicator 50 may be disposed on the upper side and the lower side of the knob projection 24.

Each of the illumination buttons 32 may selectively provide power to each illumination 35.

That is, each of the lights 35 can be operated independently.

1 and 2 show a light hole 26 spaced apart from the diffusion module 40 but this is for the sake of explanation and the diffusion module 40 is in close contact with the light hole 26.

The diffusion module (40) transmits the light and the light generated in the light (35).

Here, the diffusion module 40 expands the width of transmitted light.

The diffusion module 40 may convert the light generated in the illumination 35 to a specific color.

For example, even if daylight or primary white light is generated in the light 35, it may be changed to red, yellow, or blue while passing through the diffusion module 40.

The user can change the color by replacing the diffusion module 40.

The diffusion module 40 is a structure that can be replaced by a user.

A replacement groove 28 is formed in the knob 20 to replace the diffusion module 40.

The diffusion module 40 includes a diffusion body 42 coupled to the replacement groove 28 and a diffusion member 44 positioned inside the diffusion body 42 and transmitting light.

The diffusing member 44 may be a convex lens to extend the irradiation range of light.

Various structures for refracting the direction of the convex lens dash light can be applied.

For example, a material having a different refractive index of light may be bonded, or a prism may be used.

The diffusion body 42 is formed with a rotation shaft 43 for rotation.

The diffusion module 40 may be rotated about the rotation axis 43. [

The rotation shaft 43 is coupled to the replacement groove 28 and can be slid along the replacement groove 28.

Hereinafter, a method of using the buried type illumination switch according to the present embodiment will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

The user can grasp the position of the knob 20 through the light of the position indicator light 50 in a dark state.

When the user intends to turn on the indoor lighting (not shown), the indoor lighting can be turned on by depressing the knob 20.

The user may operate the lighting module 30 instead of operating the knob 20 to illuminate the room lighting.

For example, the user can press the light button 32 located inside the position indicator light 50 to illuminate the light 35. [

At least one of the illumination buttons 32 disposed on the upper side and the lower side can be depressed to illuminate the illumination 35. [

The lighting module 30 is for providing a local light source, not for improving the illuminance of the entire room.

The light generated in the illumination 35 may be diffused at a wide angle while passing through the diffusion module 40.

3 is a perspective view of a buried type light switch according to a second embodiment of the present invention.

The buried type light switch according to the present embodiment is provided with a first knob 120 and a second knob 220.

The first knob 120 and the second knob 220 have the same structure as the knob 20 of the first embodiment.

Each of the knobs 120 and 220 may be independently rotated.

Thus, the buried type light switch according to the present embodiment can control two indoor lights.

Unlike the present embodiment, the number of sine knobs may be added to control more indoor lighting.

The rest of the configuration is the same as that of the first embodiment, and a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

FIG. 4 is a perspective view of a buried type light switch according to a third embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 5 is an operation example 1 of FIG. 4, FIG. 6 is an operation example 2 of FIG. 4, FIG.

The buried type light switch according to the present embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that the diffusion module 340 is integrally assembled to the knob 320. [

The knob protrusion 324 of the knob 320 is curvedly connected to the knob body 22.

The illumination button 332 is formed in an elliptic shape, and the position indicator lamp 350 is also formed in an elliptic shape.

The diffusion module 340 is embedded in the knob protrusion 324 and assembled.

5 to 7, the user may operate at least one of the first illumination button 331 or the second illumination button 332. [

When only the first illumination button 331 is selected, light is irradiated only to the upper side.

When only the second illumination button 332 is selected, light is irradiated only downward.

When both the first and second illumination buttons 331 and 332 are selected, light can be irradiated upward and downward.
