[0028] A display panel 5, detachably disposed on the face frame 1, and used to cover the opening 101;

[0029] The display panel 5 and the first sealing member are arranged along the front-to-back direction.

[0030] In this embodiment, in order to install the display component, a connected opening 101 and a receiving cavity 102 are provided on the face frame 1, and the display component is installed in the receiving cavity 102 through the opening 101. A first sealing member is detachably provided in the receiving cavity 102, and the first sealing member is provided with a sealing cavity 4. The function of the sealing cavity 4 is to isolate the display component (such as a liquid crystal screen or a touch screen) from the surrounding environment when the display component (such as a liquid crystal screen or a touch screen) is installed, so as to prevent moisture, dust, etc. from entering the interior, thereby protecting the display component from damage. The display panel 5 is detachably provided on the face frame 1, and is used to cover the opening 101 on the face frame 1, forming a The complete front panel, the display panel 5 can be the screen itself with display function or a transparent cover to protect the screen, so that the display component is sealed between the accommodating cavity 102 and the display panel 5, realizing dry-wet separation and hot-cold separation. The display panel 5 can directly display the data of the display component. When the display panel 5 is affected by the temperature difference between the inside and the outside, it only needs to be cleaned, which will not affect the reading of the data of the display component; the display panel 5 and the first seal are arranged in sequence along the front-to-back direction, and the display panel 5 is subjected to external pressure by pressing, and the sealing is maintained by the first seal, and the display component is set in the accommodating cavity 102.

[0031] The first sealing member includes a sealing box 2 and a display box 3 which are stacked together, and the sealing cavity 4 is formed between the sealing box 2 and the display box 3 .

[0032] In this embodiment, the first sealing member includes a sealing box 2 and a display box 3 which are stacked, and a sealing cavity 4 is formed between the sealing box 2 and the display box 3. The sealing cavity 4 isolates the display component from the outside world. The surface of the display box 3 should be a screen with a display function. The double-layer protection of the display box 3 and the display panel 5 can prevent the display component from being poorly sealed, causing cold air to enter the display component, resulting in the formation of condensed water inside the display component, thereby causing the display component to display blurred data and affecting its service life.

[0033] The end of the display box 3 facing away from the sealing box 2 is provided with a curved contact surface 301 , and the display panel 5 is provided with a curved docking surface 501 for fitting with the curved contact surface 301 .

[0034] In this embodiment, by providing an arc-shaped contact surface 301 on the display box 3 and an arc-shaped docking surface 501 on the display panel 5, the contact between the display panel 5 and the display box 3 can be made closer, avoiding the occurrence of gaps, thereby improving the sealing effect, dispersing the pressure on the contact surface, reducing the stress concentration caused by direct contact, and further reducing the risk of deformation when the display panel 5 and the display box 3 are fixedly installed.

Further, the display panel 5 is provided with a plurality of second screw holes 7, and the plurality of first screw holes 6 and the plurality of second screw holes 7 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence; in this embodiment, the display panel 5 is provided with a plurality of second screw holes 7 arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the first screw holes 6, and the screws are screwed in and fixed in the accommodating cavity 102 from the second screw holes 7 and the first screw holes 6 in sequence, which can ensure that the connection between the display panel 5, the display box 3 and the sealing box 2 is more stable, and prevent displacement or loosening caused by external force.

[0037] A second sealing member 8 is provided between the sealing box 2 and the face frame 1. When the sealing box 2 is located in the accommodating cavity 102, two ends of the second sealing member 8 are respectively attached to the sealing box 2 and the face frame 1 to compensate for the gap therebetween.

[0038] In this embodiment, the addition of the second sealing member 8 can fill the tiny gap between the sealing box 2 and the face frame 1, further improving the overall sealing performance and ensuring that external moisture, dust, etc. cannot enter the interior of the display assembly; the second sealing member 8 is a rectangular frame structure, and the middle part thereof is hollow, which is used to enclose the sealing box 2, position it, and ensure its installation stability.

[0039] An installation groove 103 is formed on the inner wall of the accommodating cavity 102 , and at least a portion of the second sealing member 8 is clamped in the installation groove 103 .

[0040] In this embodiment, the installation groove 103 can be set so that the second sealing member 8 is hidden in the accommodating cavity 102 and does not protrude outside the face frame 1, thereby avoiding the occurrence of installation gaps and improving the sealing performance.

[0041] The display panel 5 has a mating surface 502 , and the mating surface 502 is at least partially overlapped with the second sealing member 8 .

[0042] In this embodiment, the display panel 5 is provided with a mating surface 502 that cooperates with the second sealing member 8. The mating surface 502 is at least partially stacked on the second sealing member 8 and is used to press the second sealing member 8 into the mounting groove 103, thereby ensuring that the contact between the display panel 5 and the face frame 1 is closer. Multiple sealing protections are formed by the superposition of the mating surface 502 of the display panel 5 and the second sealing member 8. Even if a problem occurs in one link, it can be compensated by another layer of protection, thereby improving the reliability of the overall sealing.

[0043] The sealing cavity 4 is provided with a plurality of snap-fit ​​components 9 .

[0044] In this embodiment, the display assembly can be firmly fixed in the sealed cavity 4 through the snap assembly 9, avoiding displacement or loosening due to external vibration or impact, thereby enhancing the reliability of the structure. The setting of the snap assembly 9 makes the installation of the display assembly simple and quick, and facilitates disassembly. When the display assembly needs to be replaced or maintenance is required, it can be quickly disassembled through simple operations, reducing maintenance time and cost.
