The arrangement of the light guide rib 121 can facilitate a uniform and soft light conducting for a better luminous efficiency. Furthermore, the light guide column 12 also has textures, printed veins or carved light guide lines 120 as to enhance the lighting effects.

(12) In the present embodiment, the light guide seat 11 has a light guide angle 113 neighboring a side of the light guide column 12, and the deposition of the light guide angle 113 can transmit the light emitted from the light emitting module 20 to the light guide column 12. It is worthy of notice that an inner wall of the light guide seat 11 has further provided with a reflecting layer 114, and the deposition of the reflecting layer 114 can increase the luminous efficiency.

(13) The light emitting module 20 is installed in the accommodating space 110 of the light guide seat 11. The light emitting module 20 includes a circuit board 21 and a light emitting element 22 electrically connected with the circuit board 21. In the present embodiment, the light emitting element 22 is, but not limited to, a light emitting diode (LED).

(14) The power module 30 is installed in the accommodating space 110 of the light guide seat 11 and located in a lateral side of the light emitting module 20. The power module 30 is the power source of the light emitting module 20 including at least one battery 31 and a conduct element 32 electrically connected with the at least one battery 31, and the conduct element 32 is electrically connected with the circuit board 21. Thus, the battery 31 can be electrically to the light emitting element 22 through the circuit board 21 and provide power to the light emitting element 22 for the lighting. In the present embodiment, the conduct element 32 is a conductive sheet, however, in real practice, the conduct element 32 can be a wire and so on.

(15) It is to be noted that the battery 31 may be provided as a dry battery, a lithium battery, a button battery, or a rechargeable battery. In addition, the power module 30 can further include a touch switch. The touch switch is electrically connected with the circuit board 21 and can be disposed in the stopper cover 40 for controlling the light emitting element 22,

(16) The stopper cover 40 is coupled to the light guide seat 11 and sealed the accommodating space 110.

(17) Moreover, the flexible sleeve 50 is made of light transmitting material and sleeved on the light guide column 12. In an embodiment of the present invention, the flexible sleeve 50 comprises a holding portion 51 and a revolving fasten portion 52. The holding portion 51 is abutted upon a bottom of the light guide seat 11, and an outer peripheral surface of the revolving fasten portion 52 has formed a seal rib 521 shaped in a helical.

(18) Specifically, an outer peripheral surface of the light guide column 12 of the light guide body 10 has formed a light guide rib 121. Moreover, the flexible sleeve 50 has formed a light guide slot 501 shaped in helical corresponding to the light guide rib 121, and the light guide rib 121 of the light guide column 12 is located in the light guide slot 501.

(19) In an embodiment of the present invention, the luminous bottle stopper 1 further includes a seal ring 60 disposed between the light guide seat 11 and the stopper cover 40 as to enhance the leak tightness therebetween. Furthermore, the light guide seat 11 has formed an annular groove 111 in the accommodating space 110, and the stopper cover 40 has a pressing plate 401 disposed correspondingly above the annular groove 111. Accordingly, the seal ring 60 is disposed in the annular groove 111 and pressed by the pressing plate 401; thereby, external air or moisture can be prevented from entering the accommodating space 110.

(20) Preferably, an inner wall of the light guide seat 11 are formed a plurality of resist ribs 112 at a bottom of the annular groove 111, and the resist ribs 112 are tightly attached to the periphery of the stopper cover 40 as to fix the stopper cover 40 on the light guide seat 11. In the present embodiment, the stopper cover 40 includes a cover plate 41 and a plurality of support plate 42 connected with the cover plate 41, and the resist ribs 112 abut against an outer side of the support plate 42. Furthermore, the cover plate 41 has a notch 410, and the cover plate 41 has formed a positioning portion 411 in the notch 410 (in the present embodiment, a position groove is configured by a pair of ribs). Thereby, the luminous bottle stopper 1 of the present invention is movable by exerting on the positioning portion 411 and rotating it.

(21) It is to be noted that, in the present embodiment, the light emitting module 20 further includes a bearing seat 23. The bearing seat 23 carries the circuit board 21 and has a through hole 230 corresponding to the light emitting element 22. Moreover, one part of the light emitting element 22 is located in the through hole 230 and another part thereof is located in the light guide seat 11.

(22) Please refer to FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, they depict a cross sectional view of the assembly of the luminous bottle stopper of the present invention and a lighting schematic view of the luminous bottle stopper of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 5, after assembling of the luminous bottle stopper 1 of the present invention, the air tightness between the stopper cover 40 and the light guide body 10 can be achieved through the seal ring 60 so that the light emitting module 20 and the power module 30 inside the light guide seat 11 will have good electricity characteristics. Furthermore, one part of the light emitting element 22 is located in the light guide seat 11, hence the light emitted from the light emitting element 22 will be transmitted to the light guide seat 11 and the light guide column 12, and then the light will be transmitted to outside through the light guide seat 11 and the light guide column 12.

(23) Please refer to FIG. 6, the luminous bottle stopper 1 is used to be plugged in a mouth 2 of a bottle. As shown in the figure, the flexible sleeve 50 of the luminous bottle stopper 1 is sleeved on the light guide column 12 and can be plugged in the mouth 2 of the bottle. Furthermore, the light guide body 10 and the flexible sleeve 50 are made of light transmitting material. Thus the light emitted from the light emitting element 22 will be transmitted to the light guide seat 11 and the light guide column 12, and then the light will be transmitted to the outside through the light guide seat 11 and the light guide column 12. On the other side, the light emitted to the light guide column 12 will pass through the flexible sleeve 50 and the mouth 2 of the bottle so that the luminous bottle stopper 1 and areas surrounding the mouth 2 of the bottle both have lighting effects. Besides, the light guide ribs 121 of the light guide column 12 can facilitate a uniform and soft light conducting for a better luminous efficiency and enhance the overall appearance, creativity and uniqueness of the present invention.
