With an adoption of the technical solution of the disclosure, the LED display device includes the rectangle framework, the adapter plate assembly and the display module. The rectangle framework includes the frame, the first transverse beam and the second transverse beam that are arranged inside the frame at intervals, and the strip-like gap is enclosed by the first transverse beam, the second transverse beam and the a part of the frame. The adapter plate assembly includes the fixed plate mounted at the strip-like gap and the adapter plate detachably arranged on the rear side of the fixed plate. In this way, the strip-like gap accommodates the adapter plate assembly. Thus, a thickness of the LED display device is reduced, and the LED display device is lighter and thinner. The fixed plate is provided with the lock. The display module is mounted on the front side of the rectangle framework through the magnetic attraction structure, and the rear side of the display module is provided with the first strip-shaped lock hole. In the disclosure, the lock includes the rotary shaft rotatably arranged on the fixed plate and the first lock tongue arranged on the rotary shaft.

With an adoption of the technical solution of the embodiment, the adapter plate assembly 20 includes the fixed plate 21 mounted at the strip-like gap and the adapter plate 22 detachably arranged on the rear side of the fixed plate 21. In this way, the strip-like gap accommodates the adapter plate assembly 20, and accordingly a thickness of the LED display device is reduced, and the LED display device is lighter and thinner. The fixed plate 21 is provided with the lock 30. The display module 40 is mounted on the front side of the rectangle framework 10 through the magnetic attraction structure, and the rear side of the display module 40 is provided with the first strip-shaped lock hole 41. In the embodiment, the lock 30 includes the rotary shaft 33 rotatably arranged on the fixed plate 21 and the first lock tongue 31 arranged on the rotary shaft 33. The first lock tongue 31 is able to go through the first strip-shaped lock hole 41 and has the first unlocking position corresponding to the first strip-shaped lock hole 41 and the first locking position that is staggered with the first strip-shaped lock hole 41, and the adapter plate 22 fits the display module 40 through the connector 50 in the plugging-in manner. During maintenance of the adapter plate from a rear side, the adapter plate is maintained after being dismounted from the rear side of the fixed plate 21. After the maintenance of the adapter plate from the rear side, the adapter plate 22 is mounted on the fixed plate 21 again and needs to fit the display module 40 on the rectangle framework 10 through the connector 50 in the plugging-in manner. Before the adapter plate 22 fits the display module 40 in the plugging-in manner through the connector 50, the first lock tongue 31 is switched to the first locking position from the first unlocking position, the first lock tongue 31 fits the first strip-shaped lock hole 41 in a staggered manner, and the first lock tongue 31 locks the first strip-shaped lock hole 41, as to lock the display module 40 on the rectangle framework 10. During the adapter plate 22 fits the display module 40 through the connector 50 in the plugging-in manner, pushing force applied onto the adapter plate 22 is transmitted onto the display module 40 through the connector 50. When the pushing force is greater than a magnetic attraction force of the magnetic attraction structure, the display module 40 is firmly locked on the rectangle framework 10 by the lock 30, and would not be pushed far away from the rectangle framework 10 by the pushing force. In this way, the display module is prevented from falling, a security protection is achieved, and accordingly the adapter plate 22 is facilitated to be mounted on the rear side of the fixed plate 21. Therefore, the technical solution of the disclosure effectively solves a problem that a display module in a related art falls due to separation from a box body.
It is to be noted that the first strip-shaped lock hole 41 corresponds to the first lock tongue 31, meaning that a projection of an outline of the first lock tongue 31 on a front side of the display module 40 coincides with the first strip-shaped lock hole 41, or the projection of the outline of the first lock tongue 31 on the front side of the display module 40 is located in the first strip-shaped lock hole 41.

In addition, the inventor finds that, in a the related art, a set of dismounting/mounting tool (such as a sleeve) is needed to dismount/mount a nut during maintenance of the adapter plate from a front side, and another set of dismounting/mounting tool (such as a wrench) is needed to dismount/mount a screw during maintenance of the adapter plate from the rear side. In this way, two sets of dismounting/mounting tools are used to realize maintenance for the adapter plate from the front side and from the rear side, and accordingly operations are complicated.
To solve the above problem, as shown in

When the display module 40 needs to be taken down from the rectangle framework 10 for the maintenance from the front side, make the first lock tongue 31 locate at the first unlocking position, and the display module 40 only needs to be unplugged from the rectangle framework 10 with force, in this way the display module 40 overcomes the magnetic attraction force of the magnetic attraction structure. When the display module 40 needs to be taken down from the rectangle framework 40 for the maintenance from the rear side, make the first lock tongue 31 locate at the first unlocking position, and the display module 40 is pushed forward through the first rectangle hole or the second rectangle hole, in this way the display module 40 is separated from the rectangle framework 10. Then rotate the display module 40 so that the display module 40 is tilted. Because the diagonal distance of the first rectangle hole is greater than the width of the display module 40, the display module 40 is able to go through the first rectangle hole or the second rectangle hole, and is able to be taken down from the rear side of the rectangle framework 10.
It should be noted that the first rectangle hole meets conditions that two adjacent sides are vertical, and two opposite sides are parallel to each other, and an interior of the first rectangle hole can have structures such as a bulge, an included angle, a chamber and a transitional arc. A “cross section” in the “minimal cross section areas of the first rectangle hole” is perpendicular to an axis of the first rectangle hole. “The diagonal distance of the first rectangle hole is greater than the width of the display module 40” refers to that one of two diagonal distances of the first rectangle hole is greater than the width of the display module 40, or each of the two diagonal distances of the first rectangle hole is greater than the width of the display module 40.
The above third rectangle hole forms a space for operations of a hand, thereby facilitating dismounting/mounting of the display module from/in the first rectangle hole or the second rectangle hole.
As shown in
In this embodiment, when the display module 40 needs to be taken down from the rectangle framework 40 for the maintenance from the rear side, as an alternative, the display module 40 is pushed forward through the fourth rectangle hole or the fifth rectangle hole, in this way the display module 40 is separated from the rectangle framework 10. Then rotate the display module 40 so that the display module 40 is tilted. Because the diagonal distance of the fourth rectangle hole is greater than the width of the display module 40, the display module 40 is able to go through the fourth rectangle hole or the fifth rectangle hole, and is able to be taken down from the rear side of the rectangle framework 10.
It should be noted that the fourth rectangle hole meets conditions that two adjacent sides are vertical, and two opposite sides are parallel to each other, and an interior of the fourth rectangle hole can structures such as a bulge, an included angle, a chamber and a transitional arc. A “cross section” in the “minimal cross section areas of the fourth rectangle hole” is perpendicular to an axis of the fourth rectangle hole. “The diagonal distance of the fourth rectangle hole is greater than the width of the display module 40” refers to that one of two diagonal distances of the fourth rectangle hole is greater than the width of the display module 40, or each of the two diagonal distances of the fourth rectangle hole is greater than the width of the display module 40.
The above sixth rectangle hole forms a space for operations of a hand, thereby facilitating dismounting/mounting of the display module from/in the fourth rectangle hole or the fifth rectangle hole.
As shown in
Specifically, as shown in
Of course, the quantity of the display modules is not limited to four, but can also be one, two, three, five or more. The quantity of the magnetic attraction structures is determined according to the quantity of the display modules.
As shown in
In the description of the disclosure, it is to be understood that orientation or position relationships indicated by terms “front”, “back”, “upper”, “lower”, “left”, “right”, “transverse”, “longitudinal”, “vertical”, “horizontal”, “top”, “bottom” and the like are orientation or position relationships shown in the drawings usually, are adopted not to indicate or imply that indicated devices or components must be in specific orientations or structured and operated in specific orientations but only to conveniently describe the disclosure and simplify descriptions and thus should not be understood as limits to the scope of protection of disclosure. The orientations “inner” and “outer” are the inside and the outside relative to an outline of each part.
In order to facilitate description, a spatial relative term may be used here, such as “over”, “above”, “on an upper surface” and “on”, to describe a spatial location relation between a device or a feature shown in the drawing and other devices or other features. It is to be understood that the spatial relative term aims at including different orientations of the device during use or operation outside the orientation described in the drawing. For example, if the device in the drawing is inverted, it may be described as that the device “above other devices or other structures” or “over other devices or other structures” shall be positioned “under other devices or other structures” or “below other devices or other structures”. Therefore, an exemplary term “above” may include two orientations: “above” and “under”. As an alternative, the device may be positioned with other different modes (90° rotation or positioned at other orientations), and the spatial relative description used here needs to be explained correspondingly.
In addition, it should be noted that terms “first”, “second” and the like are used for limiting the parts, for facilitating distinguishing corresponding parts only. Unless otherwise stated, the above terms do not have special meanings, and accordingly should not be understood to limit the scope of protection of the disclosure.
The above is only preferred embodiments of the disclosure and is not intended to limit the disclosure. Those skilled in the art may make various modifications and variations. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements and the like made within the spirit and principle of the disclosure shall fall within the scope of protection of the disclosure.
