[0002] Most of the current intelligent interactive capacitive touch screens are equipped with cameras. For the sake of appearance, the cameras are usually hidden in the screen panel (usually a glass panel) and the inside of the frame. The camera is fixed to the inside of the screen panel and needs to be supported by a certain fixed structure. The structure inside the frame can be seen through the transparent screen panel, which greatly affects the overall aesthetics of the touch screen. Therefore, silk screen printing is usually done on the inside of the screen panel to cover the internal structure. To meet the camera's framing requirements, a light-transmitting hole is reserved within the camera's field of view when silk screen printing is performed to allow light to pass through.

[0041] Example 1.

[0042] The present embodiment provides a camera installation method, which is mainly used in various large-screen devices, such as televisions with cameras, smart interactive touch screens, commercial display devices, educational equipment, and smart screens; but it can also be applied to small-screen devices, such as mobile phones, tablets, and laptops with cameras, which is not limited in the present embodiment.

[0043] The camera installation method of this embodiment includes the following steps:

[0044] S1. The inner surface of the screen panel 1 is covered with a cover layer 4, wherein a bare area 41 is reserved in the cover layer 4, and the size of the bare area 41 is larger than the size of the light-transmitting hole required for the camera 31 to be installed;

[0045] S2. Covering the covering layer 4 with a positioning layer 5, the positioning layer 5 having a bare area covering portion 51 and a positioning line portion 52, the positioning line portion 52 being located at the periphery of the bare area covering portion 51, a light-transmitting area 53 being reserved in the bare area covering portion 51, the size of the light-transmitting area 53 being the same as the size of the light-transmitting hole, and the bare area 41 completely falling within the range of the bare area covering portion 51, and the light-transmitting area 53 completely falling within the range of the bare area;

[0046] S3. Based on the positioning line portion 52, the camera bracket 32 ​​is fixed to the positioning layer 5;

[0047] S4. Install the camera 31 into the camera bracket 32.

[0048] Based on the above scheme, refer to Figure 5 The cover layer 4 provided on the inner side of the screen panel 1 is an opaque layer, which is used to block the structure (including the camera assembly, etc.) on the inner side of the screen panel 1, so as to ensure the overall aesthetics of the interactive screen. A bare area 41 is reserved in the cover layer 4, and there is no non-light-transmitting material in the bare area 41. Light can pass through the bare area 41 to enter the inner side of the screen panel 1 for the lighting needs of the camera 31. The range of the bare area 41 is limited. When installing the camera 31, the lens of the camera 31 needs to be aligned with the bare area 41 so that the field of view of the camera 31 completely falls within the range of the bare area 41. Therefore, it is necessary to take precise positioning means for the installation of the camera 31; in addition, since the size of the bare area 41 is larger than the size of the light-transmitting hole of the camera 31, when the camera 31 is aligned with the bare area 41, although the normal lighting of the camera 31 can be ensured, the area of ​​the camera bracket 32 ​​can still be observed through the bare area 41 from the front of the screen panel 1, and the overall aesthetics of the interactive screen is affected to a certain extent.

[0049] For this purpose, refer to Figure 6-7In this solution, a positioning layer 5 having a bare area covering portion 51 and a positioning line portion 52 is provided. The bare area covering portion 51 can cover the area around the bare area 41, and the bare area covering portion 51 has a light-transmitting area 53 of the same size as the light-transmitting hole of the camera 31. Therefore, after the bare area covering portion 51 is combined with the covering layer 4, a light-transmitting area 53 of standard size can be formed on the screen panel 1. When the camera 31 is aligned with the light-transmitting area 53, the part of the camera bracket 32 ​​that needs to be blocked can be blocked by the bare area covering portion 51 and the covering layer 4. When the screen panel 1 is viewed from the front, the part of the camera bracket 32 ​​that affects the aesthetics will not be seen. In order to ensure the integrity of the bare area covering portion 51 and the covering layer 4, the bare area covering portion 51 and the covering layer 4 are preferably made of materials of the same color. At the same time, the positioning line portion 52 can be used as a positioning reference when the camera bracket 32 ​​is installed, and the positioning line portion 52 and the bare area covering portion 51 are formed simultaneously as one piece, that is, the positioning line portion 52 and the light-transmitting area 53 in the bare area covering portion 51 are the same molding reference. When installing the camera bracket 32, using the positioning line portion 52 as the positioning reference is equivalent to using the light-transmitting area 53 as the positioning reference, thereby ensuring that the installed camera 31 can accurately align with the light-transmitting area 53, so that the field of view of the camera 31 can completely fall within the range of the light-transmitting area 53, thereby avoiding the camera field of view being covered by the covering layer around the light-transmitting hole, causing the captured image to have a dark shadow defect, thereby improving product quality.

[0050] In summary, the positioning method of the camera installation method based on the present solution can ensure that the field of view angle of the camera after installation can be aligned with the light-transmitting area 53, thereby solving the technical problem in the prior art that the field of view angle of the camera is covered by the silk-screen layer due to inaccurate positioning, resulting in dark shadows in the captured image.

[0051] Wherein, for the arrangement of the covering layer 4 and the positioning layer 5 , the positioning reference adopted when covering the positioning layer 5 on the covering layer 4 in step S2 is the periphery of the screen panel 1 .

[0052] It should be noted that although the setting of the covering layer 4 and the positioning layer 5 are both based on the periphery of the screen panel 1, due to the large size of the screen panel 1, its manufacturing tolerance is large (up to + / -0.8mm). Therefore, there is a certain deviation between the positioning line portion 52 of the molded positioning layer 5 and the center of the bare area 41 of the previously molded covering layer 4. Therefore, this solution needs to enlarge the size of the bare area 41 (even if the size of the reserved bare area is larger than the size of the standard light-transmitting hole), and then cover the excess light-transmitting part with the bare area covering portion 51 in the positioning layer 5. In this way, the positioning reference of the second molded light-transmitting area 53 is the same as the positioning reference of the positioning line portion 52 on its periphery, and relative to the size of the entire screen panel 1, the size of the positioning layer 5 is small and the dimensional tolerance is small. As long as the positioning line portion 52 of the positioning layer 5 is used as the installation reference of the camera bracket 32, it can be ensured that the field of view angle of the installed camera 31 can accurately fall within the reserved light-transmitting area 53.

[0053] Furthermore, regarding the molding method of the covering layer 4 and the positioning layer 5, preferably, the covering layer 4 and the positioning layer 5 are processed by silk screen printing.

[0054] Specifically, the silk screen molding process is as follows:

[0055] S11. Printing the ink material on the surface of the screen panel 1 (generally a glass plate) by screen printing to obtain a screen panel 1 having a covering layer 4;

[0056] S12. The screen panel 1 having the cover layer 4 is cured at 200°C-250°C for 15min-25min;

[0057] S21. The ink printing material is printed on the surface of the covering layer 4 by screen printing to obtain a screen panel 1 having a positioning layer 5;

[0058] S22. Curing the screen panel 1 having the positioning layer 5 at 200° C.-250° C. for 15 min-25 min.

[0059] In this solution, curing is performed at a specific temperature after silk-screen printing of the covering layer 4 and the positioning layer 5, respectively, which can improve the bonding degree between the covering layer 4, the positioning layer 5 and the screen panel 1, enhance the firmness and wear resistance of the two ink layers, and curing at a higher temperature can fully volatilize the harmful components in the ink material, thereby improving the environmental protection and safety performance.

[0060] Among them, for the formula of the silk-screen printing ink of the silk-screen covering layer 4 and the positioning layer 5, it is preferred that it includes 30-55wt% ink, 10-35wt% colorant, 3-10wt% binder (emulsifier and defoamer), 1-2.5wt% filler, 0.5-3wt% diluent, 0.4-2.5wt% anti-skinning agent, 0.5-2wt% anti-reverse printing agent, 0.5-2.5wt% increasing agent and 0.5-1.5wt% antioxidant additive. The additive contains antioxidant additive, which is isolated from air and can be stored for a long time in a dry room.

[0061] Regarding the structure of the positioning layer 5, this embodiment provides two preferred implementation methods:

[0062] As one of the preferred implementations, refer to Figure 6 The bare area covering portion 51 is connected to the positioning line portion 52 as a whole, the outer dimensions of the positioning layer 5 coincide with the dimensions of the camera bracket 32, and the camera bracket 32 ​​is installed with the outer edge of the positioning layer 5 as a reference.

[0063] That is, in this method, the outer dimensions of the entire positioning layer 5 are designed according to the outer dimensions of the camera bracket 32. When installing the camera bracket 32, the outer periphery of the camera bracket 32 ​​is aligned with the outer periphery of the positioning layer 5, so that the precise positioning of the camera bracket 32 ​​can be achieved.

[0064] As another preferred embodiment, refer to Figure 7 The bare area covering portion 51 is not connected to the positioning line portion 52, and the size of the inner edge or outer edge of the positioning line portion 52 coincides with the size of the camera bracket 32. The camera bracket 32 ​​is installed based on the inner edge or outer edge of the positioning line portion 52.

[0065] That is, in this mode, the positioning line portion 52 is not connected to the bare area covering portion 51, and the positioning line portion 52 itself has an inner edge and an outer edge. When designing the positioning line portion 52, the outer dimensions of the camera bracket 32 ​​can be used as a reference for design, so that the outer edge or inner edge of the positioning line portion 52 corresponds to the outer dimensions of the camera bracket 32. When the outer edge of the positioning line portion 52 coincides with the outer dimensions of the camera bracket 32, the outer periphery of the camera bracket 32 ​​is aligned with the outer periphery of the positioning line portion 52, and the precise positioning of the camera bracket 32 ​​can be achieved; when the inner edge of the positioning line portion 52 coincides with the outer dimensions of the camera bracket 32, the outer periphery of the camera bracket 32 ​​is aligned with the inner periphery of the positioning line portion 52, and the precise positioning of the camera bracket 32 ​​can be achieved.

[0066] As for the specific method of installing the camera bracket 32 ​​on the screen panel 1, preferably, the camera bracket 32 ​​is fixed to the positioning layer 5 by bonding. Installing the camera bracket 32 ​​by bonding can achieve the purpose of quick installation without damaging the screen panel 1. Specifically, during installation, double-sided tape (or other adhesives) is affixed to the side where the camera bracket 32 ​​is connected to the screen panel 1 in advance, and then the outer periphery of the camera bracket 32 ​​is aligned with the positioning line portion 52, and the camera bracket 32 ​​is accurately affixed to the screen panel 1, thereby achieving the installation of the camera bracket 32.

[0067] In order to facilitate the accurate installation of the camera bracket 32, preferably, refer to Figure 3-4 The camera bracket 32 ​​includes a bracket limiting member 322 and a bracket body 321. During installation, the bracket limiting member 322 is first fixed on the positioning layer 5, and then the bracket body 321 is installed; wherein, the bracket limiting member 322 is in the form of a thin sheet.

[0068] Regarding the structural design of the camera bracket 32, the reason is that although the positioning layer 5 can provide a positioning reference for the installation of the camera bracket 32, the positioning layer 5 itself does not have a limiting effect on the camera bracket 32. When installing the camera bracket 32, the edge of the camera bracket 32 ​​can only be aligned with the positioning line portion 52 of the positioning layer 5 to achieve accurate installation. The structure of the entire camera bracket 32 ​​needs to be designed according to the structure of the camera 31. Therefore, the structure of the entire camera bracket 32 ​​is relatively complex, and it is difficult to align the entire camera bracket 32 ​​with the positioning line portion 52 for installation. For this reason, the present solution sets the camera bracket 32 ​​to consist of a bracket limiting member 322 and a bracket body 321, wherein the bracket limiting member 322 is in the form of a thin sheet, and the thin sheet-shaped bracket limiting member 322 is easier to align with the positioning line portion 52, thereby facilitating the installation of the bracket limiting member 322 and improving the installation accuracy. After the bracket limiting member 322 is installed, the bracket limiting member 322 can support and limit the bracket body 321 to ensure the installation accuracy of the bracket body 321.

[0069] Furthermore, a limiting window 323 is provided in the bracket limiting member 322 , and the shape of the limiting window 323 corresponds to the bracket body 321 . The bracket body 321 is embedded in the limiting window 323 , so that the bracket body 321 is limited by the bracket limiting member 322 .

[0070] The bracket stopper 322 and the bracket body 321 are both pre-processed parts with high dimensional accuracy. When installing the bracket body 321, the bracket body 321 only needs to be inserted into the stopper window 323 of the bracket stopper 322 to accurately position the bracket body 321. For fixing the bracket body 321, other supporting structures can be used to support the bracket body 321 or the camera 31 and other components, or they can be bonded and fixed to the screen panel 1 in the same way as the bracket stopper 322.

[0071] In this regard, regarding the fixing method of the camera bracket 32 ​​and the camera 31, the following preferred solutions are provided in this embodiment:

[0072] In step S3, the following steps are specifically included:

[0073] S31. Based on the positioning line portion 52, the bracket stopper 322 is fixed to the positioning layer 5;

[0074] S32. The screen panel 1 is fixed to the frame 2;

[0075] S33. Install the bracket body 321 into the bracket limiting member 322 through the camera installation opening 21 on the frame 2.

[0076] In step S4, the following steps are specifically included:

[0077] S41. Install the camera 31 into the bracket body 321;

[0078] S42. Install the camera rear bracket 33 on the frame 2 , the camera rear bracket 33 is pressed against the camera 31 , and the camera 31 and the bracket body 321 are fixed in the bracket limiter 322 and the frame 2 through the camera rear bracket 33 .

[0079] In this scheme, if Figure 1 As shown, the frame 2 is the supporting frame of the entire interactive screen. After installation, there is an installation cavity between it and the screen panel 1 for installing various devices. The camera 31 is also installed in the installation cavity. To facilitate the installation of the camera 31 in the installation cavity, a camera installation opening 21 for installing the camera 31 is reserved on the side of the frame 2 away from the screen panel 1, as shown in FIG. Figure 2-3As shown; after the frame 2 is installed on the screen panel 1 with the bracket stopper 322, the bracket body 321 can be installed into the frame 2 through the camera installation opening 21, and the bracket body 321 is clamped with the bracket stopper 322, so that the bracket body 321 can be aligned with the light-transmitting area 53 reserved on the screen panel 1; then when the camera 31 is inserted into the bracket body 321, the field of view of the camera 31 can be accurately placed in the light-transmitting area 53. Finally, by fixing the camera rear bracket 33 to the frame 2, so that the camera rear bracket 33 is supported against the camera 31 and the bracket body 321, the camera 31 and the bracket body 321 can be fixed. In this way, the front and rear sides of the bracket body 321 are supported and limited by the screen panel 1 and the camera rear bracket 33, respectively, and the surroundings are supported and limited by the bracket stopper 322. There is no need to glue between the bracket body 321 and the screen panel 1, and the disassembly and assembly are simple, which is convenient for disassembly and assembly of the camera 31.
