Display device, base for display device, and clamping mechanism

Abstract

This invention discloses a display device, a base for use in the display device, and a locking mechanism. The locking mechanism includes a handle and a housing, wherein the handle includes a hook and a first arm, and the hook is connected to one end of the first arm. The housing includes a body, a lower jaw, and an upper jaw, wherein the lower jaw and the upper jaw extend from the body respectively. The lower jaw has a first protrusion defining a groove. The upper jaw is opposite to the lower jaw and extends beyond the lower jaw, and has a second protrusion in the portion protruding from the lower jaw. When the handle is detachably combined with the housing, the hook is at least partially located within the groove, and the first arm is at least partially located within a second space corresponding to the second protrusion.

Claims

1. A locking mechanism, comprising: A handle includes a hook and a first arm, the hook being connected to one end of the first arm; wherein, in a virtual cross-section, the hook defines a first U-shaped cross-section; and a housing includes: a body; a lower jaw extending from the body and having a first protrusion; wherein the lower jaw defines a groove by the first protrusion; and an upper jaw extending from the body, opposite to and extending beyond the lower jaw, and having a second protrusion in the portion protruding from the lower jaw; wherein the first protrusion extends toward the upper jaw and is spaced apart from the upper jaw by a first interval; the second protrusion extends in a direction opposite to the direction of extension of the first protrusion and is spaced apart from a virtual extending plane containing a bottom surface of the lower jaw by a second interval; wherein, when the handle is detachably combined with the housing, the hook is at least partially located within the groove, and the first arm is at least partially located within the second interval.

2. The engaging mechanism as claimed in claim 1, wherein the handle includes a second arm, the hook and the second arm are respectively connected to opposite ends of the first arm, at least a portion of the hook connected to the first arm, the first arm and the second arm together define a second U-shaped cross-sectional shape, and the opening directions of the first U-shaped cross-sectional shape and the second U-shaped cross-sectional shape are opposite to each other.

3. The engaging mechanism as claimed in claim 2, wherein when the handle is detachably combined with the housing, the second protrusion is received within the second U-shaped cross-sectional shape.

4. The engaging mechanism as claimed in claim 2, wherein the angle between the first arm and the second arm within the second U-shaped cross-section is greater than 90 degrees and less than 180 degrees.

5. The engaging mechanism as claimed in claim 2, wherein when the handle is detachably combined with the housing, the angle between the second arm and the virtual extension plane containing the bottom surface is less than 90 degrees.

6. The engaging mechanism as claimed in claim 1, wherein the hook includes a first section, a second section and a third section connected in sequence and bent at the junction, and the first section is configured to be inserted into the groove when the handle is combined with the housing.

7. The engaging mechanism as claimed in claim 1, wherein when the handle is detachably combined with the housing, the first protrusion is received within the first U-shaped cross-sectional shape.

8. The engaging mechanism as claimed in claim 1, wherein the body includes a base plate and a top plate connected to each other, the lower jaw extending from the base plate and the upper jaw extending from the top plate.

9. The engaging mechanism as claimed in claim 3, wherein the height of the first protrusion is less than the thickness of the base plate.

10. The engaging mechanism as described in claim 1, wherein, The maxilla, the second protrusion, and the first protrusion together define a channel that is connected to the groove via the first spacer. The channel includes a first extension region between the second spacer and the first protrusion and a second extension region between the second protrusion and the first spacer.

11. The engaging mechanism as claimed in claim 1, wherein the projection range of the second interval onto the virtual extension surface on which the first protrusion is located perpendicularly to its outwardly facing side overlaps at least partially with the first protrusion.

12. The engaging mechanism as claimed in claim 1, wherein the projection range of the second protrusion onto the virtual extension surface on which the outer side of the first protrusion is perpendicularly projected does not overlap with the first protrusion.

13. A display device comprising: a locking mechanism as described in any one of claims 1 to 12; and a display module, at least partially supported by the housing.

14. A base comprising a housing, the housing including: a body; a lower jaw extending from the body and having a first protrusion; wherein, The lower jaw portion defines a groove by the first protrusion; and an upper jaw portion extends from the body, is opposite to the lower jaw portion and extends beyond the lower jaw portion, and has a second protrusion in the portion protruding from the lower jaw portion; wherein the first protrusion portion extends toward the upper jaw portion and is spaced apart from the upper jaw portion by a first interval; the second protrusion portion extends in the opposite direction to the extension direction of the first protrusion portion and is spaced apart from a virtual extension plane on which one bottom surface of the lower jaw portion is located by a second interval.

15. The base as claimed in claim 14, wherein the body includes a base plate and a top plate connected to each other, the lower jaw extending from the base plate and the upper jaw extending from the top plate.

16. The base as claimed in claim 15, wherein the height of the first protrusion is less than the thickness of the base plate.

17. The base as claimed in claim 14, wherein, The maxilla, the second protrusion, and the first protrusion together define a channel that is connected to the groove via the first spacer. The channel includes a first extension region between the second spacer and the first protrusion and a second extension region between the second protrusion and the first spacer.

18. The base as claimed in claim 14, wherein the projection range of the second interval onto the virtual extension surface on which the first protrusion is located perpendicularly to its outwardly facing side overlaps at least partially with the first protrusion.

19. The base as claimed in claim 14, wherein the projection range of the second protrusion onto the virtual extension surface on which the outer side of the first protrusion is perpendicularly projected does not overlap with the first protrusion.
