DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

As following, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described clearly and completely with reference to the drawings in the embodiment of the present disclosure. Obviously, the described embodiment is only a part of the embodiment of the present disclosure, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present disclosure, all other embodiments perceived by those ordinary skills in the art without creative effort should be fallen within the protection scope of the present disclosure.

As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides an arc-shaped lock 100, which includes a fixing mechanism 110 and an arc-shaped adjusting mechanism 120. The fixing mechanism 110 includes an arc-shaped lock seat 111, a handle assembly 112 and a connecting assembly 113. And the arc-shaped adjusting mechanism 120 includes an arc-shaped cover 121 and an arc-shaped sliding shaft 122. When two adjacent LED panels (namely, two adjacent display units or two adjacent display boxes) of the LED display screen need to be installed together through the arc-shaped lock 100, the sliding shaft 122 is fastened to a first LED box, the arc-shaped lock seat 111 is fastened to a second LED box adjacent to the first LED box, the connecting assembly 113 is configured to connect the arc-shaped lock seat 111 with the arc-shaped cover 121 under a control of the handle assembly 112, and the arc-shaped cover 121 is sleeving on the sliding shaft 122. The sliding shaft 122 is slidable in the arc-shaped cover 121 in an arc track.

In the embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, the arc-shaped lock seat 111 is arranged with a screw mounting hole 11 cooperated with a screw structure (not shown) to fasten the arc-shaped lock seat 111 with the LED box. The handle assembly 112 specifically includes a handle 1121 and a safety structure 1122 for locking the handle 1121. One end of the handle 1121 is rotatably connected with the arc-shaped lock seat 111. The safety structure 1122 includes an elastic clamping block arranged at one end of the handle 1121 adjacent to the arc-shaped lock seat 111 and configured to lock the handle 1121 through an elastic reset effect. In addition, one end of the arc-shaped cover 121 adjacent to the arc-shaped lock seat 111 includes an arc-shaped clamping groove 1211, one end of the connecting component 113 is drivingly connected with one end of the handle 1121, and the other end of the connecting component 113 is clamped and fit in the arc-shaped clamping groove 1211, so that the connecting assembly 113 is configured to connect the arc-shaped lock seat 111 and the arc-shaped cover 121 under the control of the handle assembly 112. In this way, when the elastic clamping block is pulled outwards to unlock the handle 1121, one end of the handle 1121 can be controlled to rotate around the arc-shaped lock seat 111, so that the other end of the connecting assembly 113 is clamped in the arc-shaped clamping groove 1211. So that the connecting assembly 113 is configured to connect the arc-shaped lock seat 111 with the arc-shaped cover 121 under a control of the handle assembly 112. Finally, the elastic clamping block is released to re-lock the handle 1121 through the elastic reset effect of the elastic clamping block. At this time, the handle 1121 cannot be moved to avoid the handle 1121 from loosening and failing, or from loosening due to a misoperation. As such the display screens cannot be fastened together tightly, and a left display screen is not tightly connected with a right display screen, which resulting in poor display effect and other hazards.

As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, the arc-shaped sliding shaft 122 includes a mounting part 1221 including a screw mounting hole 12 and an arc-shaped rod 1222. The mounting part 1221 is connected with one end of the arc-shaped rod 1222, and the mounting part 1221 is fastened on the first adjacent LED box through a screw structure (not shown). The arc-shaped cover 121 includes an arc-shaped sliding groove 1212 for receiving the arc-shaped rod 1222. And two sides of the arc-shaped sliding groove includes one arc-shaped and graduated groove 1213. And the arc-shaped rod 1222 includes a connecting rod 13 at an end of the arc-shaped rod 1222 adjacent to the mounting part 1221, and the connecting rod 13 is slidably clamped and fit in two arc-shaped and graduated grooves 1213. Thus, the adjustment angle of the arc-shaped rod 1222 is directly read out by sliding the connecting rod 13 on the two arc-shaped and graduated grooves 1213 to adjust the angle of the arc-shaped rod 1222 quickly.

In addition, a graduated positioning button assembly 14 is arranged on the outside of arc-shaped cover 121. And one side of the arc-shaped rod 1222 facing the arc-shaped sliding groove is arranged with a plurality of graduated positioning holes 15, the graduated positioning button assembly 14 is clamped and fit in corresponding graduated positioning hole 15 to position the arc-shaped rod 1222 with a special angle. The adjusting mechanism includes a graduated positioning screw assembly 16 arranged at an outside of the arc-shaped cover 121. And the arc-shaped rod 1222 includes an arc-shaped groove 17, and the graduated positioning screw assembly 16 is clamped and fit in the arc-shaped groove 17 for locking the arc-shaped rod. Specifically, the graduated groove 1213 includes seven graduations of −15°, −10°, −5°, 0°, 5°, 10° and 15°, which represents that the arc-shaped rod 1222 can be adjusted along the arc-shaped sliding groove 1212 to have seven arc angles from −15° to 15°. Correspondingly, the side of the arc-shaped rod 1222 facing the arc-shaped sliding groove is arranged with seven graduated positioning holes 15 corresponding one-to-one to the seven graduations above-mentioned. After the arc-shaped rod 1222 is adjusted to the required angle, the graduated positioning button assembly 14 is inserted into corresponding graduated positioning hole 15 to position the arc-shaped rod 1222 preliminarily. Finally, the graduated positioning screw assembly 16 is clamped and fit in the arc-shaped groove 17 for locking the arc-shaped rod 1222.

In the installation process of the LED display screen, the lock seat is fastened to a first LED box. The sliding shaft of the adjusting mechanism is fastened to a second LED box adjacent to the first LED box. Then the connecting assembly is configured to connect the lock seat with the cover under a control of the handle assembly. The cover is sleeving on the sliding shaft, and the sliding shaft is slidable in the cover in an arc track. Thus two adjacent LED panels can be fastened and installed together through the arc-shaped lock. Meanwhile, the handle assembly can prevent the handle from loosening due to the misoperation, so that the installation experience and safety factor are increased multiply.

The foregoing description merely depicts some preferred embodiments of the present application and therefore is not intended to limit the scope of the application. An equivalent structural or flow changes made by using the content of the specification and drawings of the present application, or any direct or indirect applications of the disclosure on any other related fields shall all fall in the scope of the application.
