[0029] To provide a further understanding of the purpose, structure, features, and functions of the present invention, detailed descriptions are provided below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0030] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 , Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a fixed module 110 according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. Figure 2 A schematic diagram of a display device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. Figure 3 A schematic diagram illustrating a display device 200 according to another embodiment of the present invention is shown. Figure 4 A schematic diagram illustrating a display device 300 according to another embodiment of the present invention is shown, while Figure 5 A schematic diagram illustrating a display device 400 according to another embodiment of the present invention is shown.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, the fixed module 110 is detachably connected to the screen bracket 120, and the screen bracket 120 includes a first end 121 (shown in the figure). Figure 2 ) and the second end 122 (shown in Figure 2 The fixing module 110 includes a first component 111, a second component 112, and at least one protruding post 113. The first component 111 has a first surface 111s1 and a second surface 111s2, and is selectively connected to one of a first end 121 and a second end 122. The second component 112 has a third surface 112s1 and a fourth surface 112s2, and is used to clamp a plate 10. One of the first surface 111s1 and the second surface 111s2 of the first component 111 is detachably connected to one of the third surface 112s1 and the fourth surface 112s2 of the second component 112. Thus, the fixing module 110 is deformable, allowing the display device to be connected to the horizontally or vertically extending plate 10 in different orientations through various connection methods of the first component 111 and the second component 112.

[0032] Furthermore, although not shown, the first component 111 and the second component 112 can be joined using temporary joining techniques such as screwing or snap-fitting. For example, the fixing module 110 also includes at least one first joining portion (not shown) and at least one second joining portion (not shown) that can mate with each other. The first joining portion is disposed on the first surface 111s1 and the second surface 111s2 of the first component 111, while the second joining portion is disposed on the third surface 112s1 and the fourth surface 112s2 of the second component 112. The first component 111 and the second component 112 can be joined by the engagement of the first joining portion and the second joining portion. In one embodiment, the first joining portion is, for example, one of a protrusion and a recess, and the second joining portion is, for example, the other of a protrusion and a recess. In another embodiment, one of the first joint and the second joint is, for example, a through hole, and the other is, for example, a threaded hole. The first component 111 and the second component 112 can be joined by at least one threaded element passing through the through hole and screwed into the threaded hole.

[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, the first component 111 includes a first plate 1111 and a second plate 1112. The first plate 1111 has a first surface 111s1. The second plate 1112 is perpendicularly connected to the first plate 1111 and has a second surface 111s2. The first surface 111s1 is perpendicular to the second surface 111s2. The second plate 1112 has a fifth surface 111s3 opposite to the second surface 111s2, and a protruding post 113 is disposed on the fifth surface 111s3 of the second plate 1112 and protrudes opposite to the fifth surface 111s3. The protruding post 113 can be inserted into the screen bracket 120 to fix the relative position of the fixed module 110 and the screen bracket 120.

[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, the second component 112 includes a first clamping plate 1121, a second clamping plate 1122, a side plate 1123, and a pressing module 1124. The first clamping plate 1121 has a fourth surface 112s2. The second clamping plate 1122 is configured opposite to the first clamping plate 1121, for example, the first clamping plate 1121 and the second clamping plate 1122 are movably configured relative to each other. The first clamping plate 1121 and the second clamping plate 1122 can clamp or release the plate 10.

[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, the side plate 1123 has a third surface 112s1, which is perpendicular to the fourth surface 112s2. The side plate 1123 is connected to the first clamping plate 1121. The pressing module 1124 may include the aforementioned second clamping plate 1122, fixing plate 1125, connecting rod 1126, and operating member 1127. The fixing plate 1125 is fixed to the side plate 1123. The connecting rod 1126 passes through the fixing plate 1125 and is connected to the second clamping plate 1122. The fixing plate 1125 has an internal thread (not shown), and the connecting rod 1126 has an external thread 1126A. The fixing plate 1125 and the connecting rod 1126 are screwed together by the internal thread and the external thread 1126A. Through the screwing, the second clamping plate 1122 and the first clamping plate 1121 can clamp the plate 10 between them.

[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, the connecting rod 1126 connects the second clamping plate 1122 and the operating member 1127, and the operating member 1127 is located outside the fixed plate 1125 for easy operation. When the operating member 1127 is rotated, the connecting rod 1126 rotates accordingly, causing the second clamping plate 1122 to move towards the first clamping plate 1121 until the second clamping plate 1122 and the first clamping plate 1121 clamp the plate 10.

[0037] The following explains the relationship between the different deformations of the fixed module 110 and the screen bracket 120 and the screen 130.

[0038] [First Embodiment]

[0039] like Figure 2 As shown, the display device 100 includes a fixed module 110, a screen bracket 120, and a screen 130. The screen bracket 120 is pivotally connected to the screen 130, and the screen bracket 120 includes a first end 121 and a second end 122.

[0040] like Figure 2As shown, screen 130 includes screen body (e.g., display panel) 131, first pivot 132, second pivot 133, and third pivot 134. Screen body 131 is rotatable relative to screen support 120 about at least one pivot axis (or axial direction). Third pivot 134 is rotatably swivelly connected to second pivot 133 relative to first pivot axis (or axial direction) A1, first pivot 132 is rotatably pivotally connected to second pivot axis A2, and screen body 131 is rotatably pivotally connected to first pivot 132 relative to third pivot axis A3. The first pivot axis A1, second pivot axis A2, and third pivot axis A3 are, for example, perpendicular to each other, and the third pivot axis A3 is, for example, parallel to the normal direction of the display surface 131s of screen body 131. Furthermore, the third pivot 134 and the screen bracket 120 are slidably disposed relative to each other along the extending direction S1 of the screen bracket 120. For example, the screen bracket 120 has at least one groove (not shown), and the third pivot 134 has at least one slider (not shown), which is pivotally connected to the groove, so that the third pivot 134 and the screen bracket 120 can slide relative to each other.

[0041] In this embodiment, when the fourth surface 112s2 of the second component 112 of the fixing module 110 aligns with the first surface 111s1 of the first component 111, the fixing module 110 connects to the first end 121 of the screen bracket 120. The extending direction of the plate 10 is parallel to the display surface 131s of the screen 130 or the long axis extending direction of the screen bracket 120, and the screen 130 is located on the side of the plate 10. In this embodiment, the plate 10 is, for example, a vertically extending partition.

[0042] like Figure 2 As shown, the first end 121 and the second end 122 of the screen bracket 12 have a first recess 121a and a second recess 122a, respectively. A first component 111 is selectively inserted into one of the first recess 121a and the second recess 122a of the screen bracket 120 via a protruding post 113. The first recess 121a and the second recess 122a have similar or identical structures. In this embodiment, the first component 111 is inserted into the first recess 121a of the first end 121 of the screen bracket 120 via a protruding post 113.

[0043] like Figure 2As shown, the display device 100 also includes a fixing member 140. The fixing member 140 includes a body 141 and a fixing portion 142, wherein the fixing portion 142 is disposed on the body 141, and the body 141 may include at least one protruding post 1411. The protruding post 1411 can temporarily engage with the second recess 122a of the screen bracket 120 to fix the relative position between the fixing member 140 and the bracket 120. Furthermore, the fixing portion 142 is magnetically attracted to one of the magnetic elements disposed on the surface 10s, such as a magnet, and the other is a magnet or a magnetic element capable of generating an induced magnetic field with the magnet, such that the magnetic fixing member 140 and the magnetic element disposed on the surface 10s of the plate 10 are magnetically attracted together. Additionally, the protruding post 1411 has a structure similar to or the same as that of the protruding post 113.

[0044] [Second Embodiment]

[0045] like Figure 3 As shown, the display device 200 includes a fixing module 110, a screen bracket 120, and a screen 130. When the second surface 111s2 of the first component 111 of the fixing module 110 aligns with the fourth surface 112s2 of the second component 112, the fixing module 110 connects to the second end 122 of the screen bracket 120. The extending direction of the plate 10 is perpendicular to the display surface 131s of the screen 130 or the long axis extending direction of the screen bracket 120. In this embodiment, the plate 10 is, for example, a horizontally extending tabletop. The screen 130 is located above the plate 10. In this embodiment, the first component 111 is inserted into the second recess 122a of the second end 122 of the screen bracket 120 with a protruding post 113.

[0046] In addition, the display device 200 also includes a cover plate 250. The cover plate 250 can cover the end face of the first end 121 of the screen bracket 120 to cover the first recess 120a. The cover plate 250 may be magnetic or include magnetic elements or magnets, so that the first end 121 of the screen bracket 120 (having magnetic elements or magnets) and the cover plate 250 can be temporarily magnetically attracted together.

[0047] [Third Embodiment]

[0048] like Figure 4As shown, the display device 300 includes a fixing module 110, a screen bracket 120, a screen 130, and a cover plate 250. When the second surface 111s2 of the first component 111 of the fixing module 110 aligns with the third surface 112s1 of the second component 112, the fixing module 110 connects to the second end 122 of the screen bracket 120. The extending direction of the plate 10 is substantially parallel to the display surface 131s of the screen 130 or the long axis extending direction of the screen bracket 120, and the screen 130 is located above the plate 10. In this embodiment, the plate 10 is, for example, a vertically extending partition. In this embodiment, the first component 111 is inserted into the second recess 122a of the second end 122 of the screen bracket 120 with a protruding post 113. Compared to the plate 10 in the first embodiment, the plate 10 in the third embodiment is a shorter plate, which can be used to increase the height of the screen 130.

[0049] [Fourth Embodiment]

[0050] like Figure 5 As shown, the display device 400 includes a fixing module 110, a screen bracket 120, a screen 130, and a cover plate 250. When the first surface 111s1 of the first component 111 of the fixing module 110 aligns with the third surface 112s1 of the second component 112, the fixing module 110 connects to the second end 122 of the screen bracket 120. The extending direction of the plate 10 is perpendicular to the display surface 131s of the screen 130, and the screen 130 is located below the plate 10. In this embodiment, the plate 10 is, for example, a horizontally extending ceiling, and the display device 400 can be hung upside down on the ceiling. In this embodiment, the first component 111 is inserted into the second recess 122a of the second end 122 of the screen bracket 120 with a protruding post 113.

[0051] Please refer to Figure 6 The diagram illustrates a display device 500 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The display device 500 includes a fixing module 110, a screen bracket 220, a screen 130 (not shown), and a cover plate 250 (not shown). When the second surface 111s2 of the first component 111 of the fixing module 110 aligns with the fourth surface 112s2 of the second component 112, the fixing module 110 connects to the second end 122 of the screen bracket 220. The display device 500 of this embodiment has structural features identical to or similar to those of the display device 200, except that the screen bracket 220 has a receiving groove 220a that can accommodate a portion of the first component 1111, for example, at least a portion of the first plate 1111 of the display device 500. This prevents the first plate 1111 from being exposed and interfering with physical components in the environment.

[0052] In summary, the embodiments of the present invention provide a fixed module and a display device using the same. The same fixed module can be adapted to vertically or horizontally extending plates by changing the connection method of its two components, thereby altering the relative positional relationship between the fixed module, the screen bracket, and the screen. Based on the structure of the fixed module according to the embodiments of the present invention, the fixed module can produce at least four deformable postures.

[0053] The present invention has been described in the above-described embodiments; however, these embodiments are merely examples for implementing the present invention. It must be noted that the disclosed embodiments do not limit the scope of the present invention. Conversely, any modifications and refinements made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention are within the scope of patent protection of the present invention.
