The present disclosure claims priority to the Chinese patent application NO. 202211549406.6, entitled “CORNER PROTECTION DEVICE FOR A DISPLAY SCREEN AND DISPLAY SCREEN ASSEMBLY”, filed on Dec. 5, 2022, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
The present disclosure relates to the technical field of display screens, and in particular relates to a corner protection device for a display screen and a display screen assembly.
Light emitting diode (LED) display screens are widely used in many fields. Usually, the display screen includes a frame and a display module mounted on the frame for displaying images. During the transportation of the display screen, corners of the display screen are prone to collide with external objects. Since the display module is fragile, in order to avoid accidents that damage the display module, it is usually necessary to install a corner protection device at each corner of the display screen.
A large-sized display screen is usually made up of multiple small display screens assembled together; the inventor realized that, the corner protection devices installed on the small display screens need to be removed before the small display screens are assembled, which not only reduces the assembly efficiency of the display screens, but also increases the assembly cost of the display screens.
The present disclosure provides a corner protection device for a display screen and a display screen assembly, aiming to solve the technical problem in the prior art that the corner protection device needs to be removed before the assembly of the display screen.
In view of the above technical problems, the present disclosure provides a corner protection device for a display screen. The corner protection device includes a corner protector, a base, and a locking member; the corner protector includes a first corner protection plate and a second corner protection plate connected to the first corner protection plate, a first through hole is defined in the first corner protection plate, and a second through hole is defined in the second corner protection plate; a locking slot is formed in the corner protector, a first protrusion, a second protrusion, and a locking block are arranged on the locking member; the corner protector and the locking member are both slidably mounted on the base, and the locking member is configured to lock the corner protector on the base;
The present disclosure further provides a display screen assembly, including a display module, a frame, and a corner protection device, wherein the corner protection device includes a corner protector, a base, and a locking member; the corner protector includes a first corner protection plate and a second corner protection plate connected to the first corner protection plate, a first through hole is defined in the first corner protection plate, and a second through hole is defined in the second corner protection plate; a locking slot is formed in the corner protector, a first protrusion, a second protrusion, and a locking block are arranged on the locking member; the corner protector and the locking member are both slidably mounted on the base, and the locking member is configured to lock the corner protector on the base;
In the present disclosure, when the locking member is in the locked state, the first corner protection plate and the second corner protection plate protrude from two adjacent sides of the display module of the display screen, that is, the first corner protection plate and the second corner protection plate can protect the corners of the display module of the display screen in the XY plane. Furthermore, the first corner protection plate and the second corner protection plate protrude above the display module of the display screen, such that the first corner protection plate and the second corner protection plate can protect the display module of the display screen in the Z direction.
When two adjacent display screens are assembled, the first protrusion drives the locking member to slide on the base, the locking block disengages from the locking slot such that the locking block is released from the locking slot, which allows the corner protector to slide on the base until the corner protector moves below the display module of the display screen, thus, the two adjacent display modules can be seamlessly assembled. In the present disclosure, the assembly of two adjacent display screens can be completed without removing the corner protection device from the display screen, which improves the assembly efficiency of the display screens and reduces the assembly cost of the display screens. In addition, the corner protection device has a simple structure and low manufacturing cost.

As shown in
When the locking member 13 slides on the base 12 to be in a locked state, the locking block 133 is inserted into the locking slot 113, the first protrusion 131 is inserted into the first through hole 1111, and the second protrusion 132 is inserted into the second through hole 1121. The first corner protection plate 111 and the second corner protection plate 112 protrude from the corner of the display screen. It can be understood that when the locking block 133 is inserted into the locking slot 113, the locking member 13 is in the locked state. At this time, the corner protector 11 cannot slide on the base 12, the first protrusion 131 passes through the through hole 1111 to be exposed outside the first corner protection plate 111, and the second protrusion 132 passes through the second through hole 1121 to be exposed outside the second corner protection plate 112. The first corner protection plate 111 is located outside a first side of the display screen, and the second corner protection plate 112 is located outside a second side of the display screen. The first side and the second side are adjacent sides of the display screen, such that the corner protector 11 can protect the corresponding corner of the display screen (that is, the first corner protection plate 111 and the second corner protection plate 112 can protect the display screen in a XY plane). Furthermore, an upper end of the first corner protection plate 111 and an upper end of the second corner protection plate 112 protrude above the display screen, such that the first corner protection plate 111 and the second corner protection plate 112 can protect the display screen in a Z direction.
When the locking member 13 slides on the base 12 to be in an unlocked state, the first protrusion 131 or the second protrusion 132 drives the locking block 133 to disengage from the locking slot 113, and the first corner protection plate 111 and the second corner protection plate 112 are received in the corner of the display screen. It can be understood that after the locking block 133 disengages from the locking slot 113, the corner protector 11 is released from the locking member 13, and the corner protector 11 slides on the base 12 until the first corner protection plate 111 and the second corner protection plate 112 move below a display module 2 of the display screen, thus completing the assembly of two adjacent display screens.
In an embodiment, as shown in
In the present disclosure, when the locking member 13 is in the locked state, the first corner protection plate 111 and the second corner protection plate 112 protrude from two adjacent sides of the display module 2 of the display screen, that is, the first corner protection plate 111 and the second corner protection plate 112 can protect the corners of the display module 2 of the display screen in the XY plane. Furthermore, the first corner protection plate 111 and the second corner protection plate 112 protrude above the display module 2 of the display screen, such that the first corner protection plate 111 and the second corner protection plate 112 can protect the display module 2 of the display screen in the Z direction.
When two adjacent display screens are assembled, the first protrusion 131 drives the locking member 13 to slide on the base 12, the locking block 133 disengages from the locking slot 113 such that the locking block 133 is released from the locking slot 113, which allows the corner protector 11 to slide on the base 12 until the corner protector 11 moves below the display module 2 of the display screen, thus, the two adjacent display modules 2 can be seamlessly assembled. In the present disclosure, the assembly of two adjacent display screens can be completed without removing the corner protection device 1 from the display screen, which improves the assembly efficiency of the display screens and reduces the assembly cost of the display screens. In addition, the corner protection device 1 has a simple structure and low manufacturing cost.

Furthermore, the second elastic member 15 enables the first protrusion 131 or the second protrusion 132 to slide on the base 12 under the pulling force from the second elastic member 15 until the locking member 133 is inserted into the locking slot, the first protrusion 131 is inserted into the first through hole 1111, and the second protrusion 132 is inserted into the second through hole 1121. During the process in which the locking member 13 slides on the base 12, the pulling force from the first elastic member 14 drives the corner protector 11 to slide on the base 12 until the first corner protection plate 111 and the second corner protection plate 112 protrude from the two adjacent sides of the display module 2 of the display screen. In the present disclosure, without applying any pushing force to the first protrusion 131 or the second protrusion 132, the first elastic member 14 and the second elastic member 15 can enable the locking member 13 to automatically slide to be in the locked state and the corner protector 11 to automatically slide to a corner protection state, such that the corner protection device 1 can automatically change into the corner protection state without manually toggling the corner protector 11 or the locking member 13 (that is, before the two adjacent display screens are assembled, the corner protector 11 keeps in a state of protecting the display module 2 of the display screen), which eliminates the error of manual operation and the invalid protection time of the corner protector 11, and improves the safety and reliability of the corner protection device 1.

When the locking member 13 is in the locked state, the first locking block is inserted into the first locking slot, and the second locking block is inserted into the second locking slot, thereby ensuring the stability of the locking member 13 in the locked state.
As shown in
When the locking member 13 is in the locked state, the first corner protection plate 111 and the second corner protection plate 112 protrude from the two adjacent sides of the display module 2. It can be understood that when the locking block 133 is inserted into the locking slot 113, the locking member 13 is in the locked state. At this time, the first protrusion 131 passes through the first through hole 1111 to be exposed outside the first corner protection plate 111, and the second protrusion 132 passes through the second through hole 1121 to be exposed outside the second corner protection plate 112. The first corner protection plate 111 and the second corner protection plate 112 protrude from the two adjacent sides of the display module 2, so that the corner protector 11 can protect the corners of the display module 2, avoiding accidents that damage the corners of the display module 2 during the process of handling the display screen assembly.
When the locking member 13 is in the unlocked state, the first corner protection plate 111 and the second corner protection plate 112 are received in the frame 3. It can be understood that when two display modules are assembled, the first protrusion 131 of one display module is pushed by the first protrusion 131 of the other display module (or the second protrusion 132 of one display module is pushed by the second protrusion 132 of the other display module), enabling the locking member 13 to slide on the base 12 to the unlocked state; at the same time, the corner protector 11 slides on the base 12 until the first corner protection plate 111 and the second corner protection plate 112 move below the display module 2 (that is, the corner protector 11 is received in the corner of the frame 3).
In the present disclosure, the corner protection device 1 is installed at each corner of the display screen assembly, and the first corner protection plate 111 and the second corner protection plate 112 can protect the corners of the display module 2, avoiding accidents that damage the corners of the display module 2 during the transportation of the display screen assembly.
In an embodiment, as shown in
In the present disclosure, as shown in
When two display screens are assembled, the first protrusion 131 of one display module is pushed by the first protrusion 131 of the other display module (or the second protrusion 132 of one display module is pushed by the second protrusion 132 of the other display module), the locking member 13 slides on the base 12 to be in the unlocked state. As the locking member 13 slides, the second elastic member 15 is elongated, and the corner protector 11 slides downwards on the base 12 due to the action of thrust, gravity, or external force until the corner protector is received in the corner of the frame 3. As the corner protector 11 slides on the base 12, the corner protector 11 elongates the first elastic member 14.
