ABSTRACT:
An optic control module includes a housing, a light source, an optic lens body, a detector, and a control circuit. The housing contains therein a circuit board in electrical connection with a plurality of terminal pins. The light source is mounted on the circuit board and is electrical connection with the terminal pins for providing light. The light, after transmitting, in sequence, through a first optic curved surface, a first inclined surface, and a second optic curved surface of the optic lens body, leave the optic lens body and is then reflected by an operative body located above the optic lens body to travel through a third recess and a third optic curved surface of the optic lens body to get back to the detector. The detector is arranged on the circuit board of the housing at a location below a second protrusion of the optic lens body to receive and process the reflected light. The control circuit is formed on the circuit board to receive a signal transmitted from the detector to control the operation of the optic control module. As such, a modularized optic control module is provided.
