The tiled display device includes a plurality of sub-display panel modules and a case, where each of the sub-display panel modules includes a display substrate and a bracket for carrying the display substrate. In the assembly process, a segment difference may be formed between brackets of adjacent sub-display panel modules, and to repair the segment difference, the sub-display panel modules have to be re-installed, which may affect the assembly efficiency of the tiled display device. In addition, poor assembly of the brackets may further cause display tiled seams between adjacent display substrates, affecting flatness of the whole tiled display device and thus causing adverse effects on the display effect.
To solve at least one of the above technical problems, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a bracket structure configured to adjust a height of a support surface of the bracket structure to adjust the flatness of a plurality of sub-display panel modules in a tiled display device, thereby improving the display effect and the yield of tiled assembly.
The body 2 has a support surface 2b, an assembly surface 2a, and at least one side surface. The support surface 2b is disposed opposite to the assembly surface 2a, and the side surface is disposed between the support surface 2b and the assembly surface 2a. The at least one side surface includes a first side surface 2c, and the transfer motion adjustor 1 is located inside the body 2.
The transfer motion adjustor 1 includes: a first rotation member 11 and a first guide member 12 connected to the first rotation member 11. The first rotation member 11 is close to the first side surface 2c. A first hole 41 is provided on the first side surface 2c at a position corresponding to the first rotation member 11, to expose an end of the first rotation member 11 close to the first side surface 2c, so that a first external jig adjusts the first rotation member 11 to rotate through the end of the first rotation member 11 close to the first side surface 2c exposed from the first hole 41.
A second hole 42 is provided on the assembly surface 2a at a position corresponding to the first guide member 12, and the first guide member 12 is configured to move along the second hole 42 in response to the rotational control of the first rotation member 11 to adjust a protruding amount of the first guide member 12 on the assembly surface 2a.
In the bracket structure provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure, first, the first rotation member 11 can be directly adjusted in a rotation manner through the first hole 41 on the first side surface 2c of the bracket structure, so that when the transfer motion adjustor 1 is adjusted, the bracket structure on a side of the support surface 2b of the bracket structure will not interfere with the first hole 41, or affect operation of a first external jig through the first hole 41, thereby improving the adjusting efficiency and convenience in the assembly process; and second, rotation of the first rotation member 11 can drive the first guide member 12 to move to adjust a protruding amount of the first guide member 12 on the assembly surface 2a, and thus adjust a position of the transfer motion adjustor 1, and since the transfer motion adjustor 1 located inside the body 2 of the bracket structure, position adjustment of the bracket structure can be implemented to ensure that display surfaces of the plurality of display substrates in the tiled display device are located in the same plane when spliced, thereby improving the display effect.
It should be noted that, as shown in
In some embodiments, the end of the first rotation member 11 close to the first side surface 2c has a cross-section parallel to the first side surface 2c in a first ring shape with a hexagonal inner contour. In other words, the end of the first adjusting element 111 exposed from the first hole 41 has a hexagonal inner contour, so the first external jig used for adjustment may be a hexagonal wrench which is a general assembly tool. Therefore, the assembly and adjustment of the bracket structure are facilitated, adaptability of the bracket structure is improved, and the bracket structure can be adjusted quickly and conveniently in either indoor or outdoor environments.
The first connecting element 112 is provided with first threads 112a, the first worm wheel 121 is provided with engaging insections matched with the first threads 112a, the first worm wheel 121 is configured to rotate in response to rotation of the first connecting element 112, and a rotation axis of the first worm wheel 121 is perpendicular to a rotation axis of the first connecting element 112. As shown in

The first elastic component has one end connected to the first worm wheel 121 and the other end connected to a bottom wall of the first assembly space 13 on a side close to the assembly surface 2a, so that the first guide member 12 is maintained in a stable state when the telescopic amount of the first guide member 12 on the assembly surface 2a of the bracket structure is changed.
The bottom wall of the first assembly space 13 on the side close to the assembly surface 2a refers to a surface of the first assembly space 13 close to the assembly surface 2a; and the second hole 42 communicates from the assembly surface 2a to the bottom wall of the first assembly space 13.
In some embodiments, the first elastic component includes a first spring nested outside the first worm 122. In one example, the first spring may be a preloaded spring, and when the telescopic amount of the first guide member 12 on the bracket structure assembly surface 2a is changed, the first spring provides a preloaded elastic force to ensure stability of the first guide member 12.
It should be noted that the stable state refers to a state in which the first guide member 12 can be smoothly extended or retracted under the action of the first elastic component. When the telescopic amount of the first guide member 12 on the bracket structure assembly surface 2a is changed, an telescopic amount of the first spring is also changed in an opposite direction to the telescopic amount of the first guide member 12, so that the first guide member 12 can be smoothly extended or retracted.
In some embodiments, as shown in
The transfer motion adjustor 1 further includes a second rotation member 21 and a second guide member 22 connected to the second rotation axis. A portion of the second rotation member 21 close to the first side surface 2c is located in the first hollow channel 10, and an end of the first hollow channel 10 close to the first side surface 2c exposes an end of the second rotation member 21 close to the first side surface 2c, so that a second external jig adjusts the second rotation member 21 to rotate through the end of the second rotation member 21 close to the first side surface 2c exposed from the first hollow channel 10. Since the first hole 41 is provided on the first side surface 2c at the position corresponding to the first rotation member 11, to expose the end of the first rotation member 11 close to the first side surface 2c, and the portion of the second rotation member 21 close to the first side surface 2c is located in the first hollow channel 10 of the first rotation member 11, the end of the second rotation member 21 close to the first side surface 2c is also exposed from the first hole 41. In other words, both the first rotation member 11 and the second rotation member 21 can be adjusted through the first hole 41.
As shown in
It should be noted that since the portion of the second rotation member 21 close to the first side surface 2c is located in the first hollow channel 10 of the first rotation member 11, and the end of the first hollow channel 10 close to the first side surface 2c exposes the second adjusting element 211, the first ring shape has a diameter larger than the second ring shape. Furthermore, the first external jig matched with the inner contour of the first ring shape has greater specifications than the second external jig matched with the inner contour of the second ring shape.
In some embodiments, as shown in
The second connecting element 212 is provided with third threads 212a, the second worm wheel 221 is provided with engaging insections matched with the third threads 212a, the second worm wheel 221 is configured to rotate in response to rotation of the second connecting element 212, and a rotation axis of the second worm wheel 221 is perpendicular to a rotation axis of the second connecting element 212. As shown in
In some embodiments, as shown in
The second guide member 22 further includes: a second elastic component (not shown in the figure) in the second assembly space 23. The second elastic component has one end connected to the second worm wheel 221 and the other end connected to a bottom wall of the second assembly space 23 close to the fourth hole 44, so that the second guide member 22 is maintained in a stable state when the telescopic amount of the second guide member 22 on the assembly surface 2a of the bracket structure is changed.
The bottom wall of the fourth hole 44 to which the second assembly space 23 is close refers to a surface in the second assembly space 23 parallel to the assembly surface 2a or the support surface 2b, in which the second hole 44 is defined.
In some embodiments, the second elastic component includes a second spring nested outside the second worm 222. In one example, the second spring may be a preloaded spring, and when the telescopic amount of the second guide member 22 on the bracket structure assembly surface 2a is changed, the second spring provides a preloaded elastic force to ensure stability of the second guide member 22.
In some embodiments, as shown in
In the transfer motion adjustor 1, the first adjusting element 111 on the first rotation member 11 and the second adjusting element 211 on the second rotation member 21 are both exposed from the first hole 41. Therefore, an external jig can be used to adjust either of the rotation members through the first hole 41 on the first side surface 2c. Meanwhile, the first guide member 12 and the second guide member 22 are located at two corners of the bracket structure, so that in the adjusting process, the telescopic amount of one of the guide members on the assembly surface 2a can be adjusted adaptively according to a state of the support surface 2b of the bracket structure, or the first guide member 12 and the second guide member 22 may be adjusted to have different telescopic amounts on the assembly surface 2a of the bracket structure. To sum up, in the bracket structure provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure, one side of the support surface 2b close to the first side surface 2c and the other side away from the first side surface 2c can be adjusted differently through the first hole 41 to increase the flexibility in adjustment of the bracket structure, so as to adjust the position of the bracket structure to ensure that display surfaces of the plurality of display substrates in the tiled display device are located in the same plane when spliced, thereby improving the display effect.
On this basis, in the bracket structure according to the embodiments of the present disclosure, the transfer motion adjustor 1 further includes a third rotation member 31.
The transfer motion adjustor 1 further includes a third rotation member 31, and the at least one side surface further includes: a third side surface 2d opposite to the first side surface 2c in the first direction. A third hole 43 is provided on the third side surface 2d at a position corresponding to the third rotation member 31 to expose an end of the third rotation member 31 close to the third side surface 2d, and configured to allow an end of the third rotation member 31 away from the first side surface 2c to extend out of the third hole 43.
A portion of the third rotation member 31 close to the first side surface 2c is located in the second hollow channel 20, and an end of the second hollow channel 20 close to the first side surface 2c exposes an end of the third rotation member 31 close to the first side surface 2c, so that a third external jig pushes the third rotation member 31 to extend out of the third hole 43 and adjusts the third rotation member 31 to rotate through the end of the third rotation member 31 close to the first side surface 2c exposed from the second hollow channel 20.
The end of the third rotation member 31 away from the first side surface 2c is configured to be extendable into the first hole 41 of a further bracket structure, and engaged with the end of the first rotation member 11 close to the first side surface 2c exposed from the first hole 41 in the further bracket structure in a direction parallel to the first side surface 2c.
For any one of the plurality of bracket structures, the third side surface 2d is disposed opposite to the first side surface 2c, and since the third side surface 2d is provided with the third hole 43 on the end of the third rotation member 31 close to the third side surface 2d, and the end of the third rotation member 31 close to the first side surface 2c is exposed from the second hollow channel 20, i.e., exposed from the first hole 41, the third hole 43 in the third side surface 2d and the first hole 41 in the first side surface 2c are also disposed opposite to each other.
In the above adjustment mode, the third connecting element 312 of the bracket structure 2-1 is equivalent to be used to adjust the structural member of the bracket structure 1-1, so an outer contour of an end of the third rotation member 31 of the bracket structure 2-1, close to the third side surface 2d can extend into the first hole 41 of the bracket structure 1-1 to be adapted to an inner contour of the first adjusting element 111 of the bracket structure 1-1 for control and adjustment, so that in the process of adjusting the flatness of the plurality of bracket structures, the assembled bracket structures can be adjusted without being disassembled repeatedly, thereby avoiding a segment difference between adjacent bracket structures, implementing flatness adjustment of the support surface of the bracket structure, and improving the display effect of the tiled display device.
In some embodiments, the end of the third rotation member 31 close to the first side surface 2c has a cross-section parallel to the first side surface 2c in a third ring shape with a hexagonal inner contour.
It should be noted that since the portion of the third rotation member 31 close to the first side surface 2c is located in the second hollow channel 20, and the end of the second hollow channel 20 close to the first side surface 2c exposes the third adjusting element 311, the second ring shape has a diameter larger than the third ring shape, and further, the second external jig matched with the inner contour of the second ring shape has greater specifications than the third external jig matched with the inner contour of the third ring shape.
The third assembly space 32 is configured to receive the location-limited element 313 and the third elastic component 314 on the third rotation member 31, and during assembly, the location-limited element 313 and the third elastic component 314 may be fitted into the body 2 of the bracket structure through the third hole 43 in communication with the third assembly space 32.
In some embodiments, a first clamping element (not shown) is provided on the location-limited element 313, a second clamping element (not shown) is provided on the portion of the third connecting element 312 outside the second hollow channel 20, and the first clamping element is engaged and fixed with the second clamping element, so that the location-limited element 313 and the third connecting element 312 are detachably mounted to facilitate assembly.
In some embodiments, as shown in
The reset of the third rotation member 31 of the bracket structure 2-1 means returning the third rotation member 31 of the bracket structure 2-1 to an initial position, i.e., the state of the third rotation member 31 of the bracket structure 2-1 shown in
In some embodiments, as shown in
Since the portion of the second rotation member 21 close to the first side surface 2c is located in the first hollow channel 10, and the portion of the third rotation member 31 close to the first side surface 2c is located in the second hollow channel 20, it means that the first connecting element 112 is nested on the second connecting element 212, and the second connecting element 212 is nested on the third connecting element 312.
As shown in
