BENEFICIAL EFFECTS

The assembled support mechanism for the LED display screen and the splicing method thereof provided by the present application are capable of realizing fast splicing by a single person. The support mechanism can be folded or unfolded in required working environment, and the unfolded structure enhances the intensity and thickness of the LED display screen, which allows the LED display screen to stand on the ground, and the support mechanism may be climbed in order to maintain the display screen. When the two rotational stands are unfolded and form a stable triangle with the bottom support, the thickness of the support mechanism for the LED display screen increases, which in turn increases the wind resistance torque and enhances the wind resistance in outdoor use. Based on the unitized splicing operation, the bottom supports can be accumulatively spliced in both the longitudinal direction and the transverse direction, thus having high degree of freedom and flexibility, being suitable to the LED display screens of different specifications and sizes. Based on the technical feature that the LED display screen may be quickly connected with the support mechanism as a whole structure via the screen connecting locks, the conventional steel structure arranged at the back of the LED display screen may be replaced. Moreover, the support mechanism is made of a material comprising high carbon fibers and an aluminum alloy, which greatly reduces the weight of the LED display screen in the installation and operation and the operation complexity thereof. The support mechanism has complete function, simplified and reliable structure, convenient disassembling, and easy transportation.

The LED display screen 3 is better applicable to curved surfaces.


Each component of the support mechanism is made of an aluminum alloy material. The connecting rod 13 and the connecting axle 21 are made from a carbon fiber material. The use of the aluminum alloy material and the carbon fiber material is for the purpose of further reducing the weight of the LED display screen 3 and reducing the work intensity of the transportation installation tools during the installation, transportation, and maintenance, while ensuring the strength.


As shown in FIGS. 1 and 21, the support mechanism for the display screen is in an unfolded state, in which, the rotational stands 2 use the connecting rods 13 at the right end and the left end of the bottom support 1 as axes to be unfolded to corresponding positions, and are spliced by the lower connecting sleeve and the upper connecting sleeve, such that the two rotational stands 2 of the support mechanism for the LED display screen are fixedly connected to form a stable triangle structure. The unfolded state of the rotational stand 2 increases a thickness in the vertical direction of the support mechanism for the LED display screen, and reaches the requirement of allowing the supported LED display screen 3 to stand on the ground during use, as well as increases the strength of the LED display screen. The thickness of the support mechanism for the LED display screen increases a size in the thickness direction, enhance the capacity in wind resistance. After splicing, the LED display screen 3 is vertically arranged, and in use, the user may climb via the front bracket 11, the spacer bracket 14 and the rear bracket 12 on the support mechanism for the LED display screen, which is in particular prone to maintenance of different positions for large volume LED display screen 3.


In the case of no configuration of the rotational stand 2, that is, when the LED display screen 3 is assembled to the bottom support 1, the user may climb in use through the front bracket 11, the spacer bracket 14, and the rear bracket 12 of the support mechanism for the LED display screen.

Further, in a back view of the bottom support 1, a right upper portion of the bottom support 1 is provided with one rotational stand 2, and a left lower portion of the bottom support 1 is provided with the other rotational stand 2; or alternatively, in the back view of the bottom support 1, a left upper portion of the bottom support 1 is provided with one rotational stand 2, and a right lower portion of the bottom support 1 is provided with the other rotational stand 2. The two options are chosen as needed.


As shown in FIGS. 7-9 and 22, a method for splicing the assembled support mechanism for an LED display screen, comprises the following steps:


S1: assembling the support mechanisms individually as support units;


S2: selecting a plurality of the support units as needed and splicing the plurality of the support units in a longitudinal direction;


placing the bottom supports 1 of the support units at adjacent positions in the longitudinal direction within the same horizontal plane, and connecting the bottom supports 1 via locking pieces 15 and locking columns 16 at adjacent ends in the longitudinal direction.


Repeating steps S2, such that the support mechanism for the display screen can be unlimitedly and accumulatively spliced in the longitudinal direction as needed.


S3: selecting a plurality of the support units as needed and splicing the plurality of the support units in a transverse direction;


placing the bottom supports 1 of the support units at adjacent positions in the transverse direction within the same horizontal plane, and connecting the bottom supports 1 via the left arc-shaped locks 17 and the right arc-shaped locks 18 at adjacent ends in the transverse direction.


Repeating steps S3, such that the support mechanism for the display screen can be unlimitedly and accumulatively spliced in the transverse direction as needed.


In which, step S1 specifically comprises the following steps:


S11: installing a front rotational stand 2;


collecting any one of the rotational stands 2, sleeving a buckle 25 of a rotational crossbeam 24 thereof at a front portion of an outer periphery of any one of the connecting rods 13 of the bottom support 1, fixing the buckle 25 of the rotational crossbeam 24 at the outer periphery of the corresponding connecting rod 13 via the linking screw 26 and limiting degrees of freedom of the rotational crossbeam 24 in three directions, thereby enabling the rotational crossbeam 24 to move in the longitudinal direction with a limited distance and to be rotatable around the connecting rod 13 in connection therewith;


S12: installing a rear rotational stand 2;


collecting another rotational stand 2, sleeving a buckle 25 of a rotational crossbeam 24 thereof at a rear portion of an outer periphery of another connecting rod 13 of the bottom support 1, fixing the buckle 25 of the rotational crossbeam 24 at the outer periphery of the corresponding connecting rod 13 via the linking screw 26 and limiting degrees of freedom of the rotational crossbeam 24 in three directions, thereby enabling the rotational crossbeam 24 to move in the longitudinal direction with a limited distance and to be rotatable around the connecting rod 13 in connection therewith;


S13: splicing the rotational stands 2;


rotating the connecting axles 21 of the front rotational stand 2 and the rear rotational stand 2 after being assembled with the bottom support 1 to the same height level, connecting the front connection sleeve 22 and the rear connection sleeve 23 at two adjacent ends of the connecting axles 21 by threaded connection to form an assembled triangle structure in an unfolded state.

The rotational stand 2 may be rotated inwards, so as to be fixed inside the support mechanism to form an internal stable triangle. The rotational stand 2 may also be rotated outwards, so as to be fixed with the rotational stands 2 within support mechanisms in the left and/or in the right to form an external stable triangle. The specific rotating direction can be freely chosen by the user according to actual working condition.


The display bracket structure after the installation and the LED display screen 3 connected thereto are placed vertically on a fixed plane at the same time. In this way, the support mechanism for the display screen increases the thickness of the LED display screen as well as the stability and the use intensity of the display screen. The increase in the thickness direction of the support mechanism of the LED display screen will increase the wind resistance torque, thereby enhancing the wind resistance in the outdoor use. Because the LED display screen 3 is large in size, during local maintenance, the operator can climb along the steps formed by the assembled front brackets 11, rear brackets 12, and spacer brackets 14, which is convenient and efficient for the local maintenance.


When the support mechanism for the display screen needs to be folded and stored, it is only required to operate in an reverse order of the above steps for performing the disassembling and storage. Thus, the installation of the support mechanism is flexible and the disassembling thereof is convenient.


In summary, the assembled support mechanism for the LED display screen and the splicing method thereof are capable of realizing fast splicing by a single person. The support mechanism can be folded or unfolded in required working environment, and the unfolded structure enhances the intensity and thickness of the LED display screen, which allows the LED display screen to stand on the ground, and the support mechanism may be climbed in order to maintain the display screen. Based on the unitized splicing operation, the bottom supports can be accumulatively spliced in both the longitudinal direction and the transverse direction, thus having high degree of freedom and flexibility, being suitable to the LED display screens of different specifications and sizes. Based on the technical feature that the LED display screen may be quickly connected with the support mechanism as a whole structure via the screen connecting locks, the conventional steel structure arranged at the back of the LED display screen may be replaced. Moreover, the support mechanism is made of a material comprising high carbon fibers and an aluminum alloy, which greatly reduces the weight of the LED display screen in the installation and operation and the operation complexity thereof. The support mechanism has complete function, simplified and reliable structure, convenient disassembling, and easy transportation.
