Unless otherwise specified, "plurality" means two or more.

[0028] Unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected" and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood by specific circumstances.

[0029] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a display screen capable of self-splicing and positioning, wherein the present embodiment comprises a plurality of display units 1 and a positioning mechanism 2 for positioning each display unit 1 when spliced, the display unit 1 comprises a plurality of light board modules 3 arranged in a rectangular shape and a control box 4 for controlling each light board module 3, the positioning mechanism 2 comprises an infrared emitting sensor 21 arranged at a corner end of the light board module 3 and located on one side of the display unit 1, and an infrared receiving sensor 22 arranged at a diagonal end of the infrared emitting sensor 21 and located on the other side of the display unit 1 for receiving a signal emitted by the infrared emitting sensor 21 at a corresponding position on an adjacent display unit 1; the control box 4 comprises a shell 41 and a control board 42 arranged in the shell 41, a first connection port 31 is arranged on a side of the light board module 3 facing the control board 42, and a second connection port 421 equal in number to the light board module 3 is arranged on a side of the control board 42 facing each light board module 3, so that the first connection port 31 is plugged in and matched with the second connection port 421 to realize electrical connection between the light board module 3 and the control box 4.

[0030] The display unit 1 of this embodiment is the display box described in the background technology. The attached figure shows the effect of two display units 1 being spliced ​​together, and each display unit 1 can display content independently. Each display unit 1 is composed of a plurality of light board modules 3 and a control box 4 in the box frame, wherein each light board module 3 is a rectangularly arranged LED light board, and each light board module 3 is controlled by the corresponding control box 4. In order to realize automatic splicing positioning, this embodiment integrates a positioning mechanism 2 in each display unit 1, which is composed of an infrared emitting sensor 21 and an infrared receiving sensor 22. These sensors are precisely installed at the corner ends of the light board modules 3 near the center of the four sides inside each display unit 1. Specifically, if an infrared emitting sensor 21 is installed at the corner end of the light board module 3 at the center of the upper side and the right side of a display unit 1, an infrared receiving sensor 22 is installed at the corner end of the light board module 3 at the center of the lower side and the left side. Such an arrangement forms an infrared signal emitting area on the upper side and the right side of the display unit 1, while the lower side and the left side constitute an infrared signal receiving area. When two display units 1 are close to each other and ready to be spliced, the infrared transmitting sensor 21 on one display unit 1 will send a signal to the infrared receiving sensor 22 at the corresponding position on the adjacent display unit 1. The control system calculates the relative positions between the display units 1 based on these infrared signals. As more display units 1 are spliced, the system can automatically adjust and accurately position each display unit 1 to ensure that they together form a seamless large-screen image. And by providing a first connection port 31 and a second connection port 421 on the light board module 3 and the control board 42, respectively, and connecting them in a plug-in manner, the operator only needs to insert the first connection port 31 of the light board module 3 into the corresponding second connection port 421 of the control board 42 to complete the connection without complicated wiring operations; and all connections are integrated and built-in to the outside of the display unit 1 to avoid messy external cables, so that the back of the display box looks neat and beautiful.

[0031] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the display unit 1 of this embodiment internally includes four light board modules 3. The positioning mechanism 2 is arranged in two light board modules 3 at diagonal positions, specifically in the light board modules 3 at the upper left corner and the lower right corner, and an infrared emitting sensor 21 is installed at the lower left corner, so that the bottom edge and the left edge of the display unit 1 near the center form an infrared signal emitting area. Correspondingly, an infrared receiving sensor 22 is configured at the upper right corner of the two light board modules 3, thereby constructing an infrared signal receiving area at the top edge and the right edge of the display unit 1 near the center. It is ensured that when adjacent display units 1 are spliced, the infrared emitting sensor 21 on one unit can send a signal to the infrared receiving sensor 22 at the corresponding position on the other unit.

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, the display unit 1 of this embodiment is provided with welding areas 32 for welding and installing the infrared emitting sensor 21 and the infrared receiving sensor 22. By providing the welding areas 32 around the display unit 1, the infrared emitting sensor 21 and the infrared receiving sensor 22 can be welded on the light board module 3 near the four sides of the overall display unit 1 according to specific use.

[0033] like Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment also includes one or more signal sources 5 for providing video or image signals and a controller 6 for processing and distributing signals, and the controller 6 connects the signal source 5 with the display unit 1. The controller 6, as a central processing unit, receives the video or image signal from the signal source 5, and processes and distributes it based on the position information provided by the infrared emission sensor 21 and the infrared receiving sensor 22. The controller 6 is divided into synchronous and asynchronous modes, wherein in the synchronous mode, the controller 6 ensures that all display units 1 receive and display the same signal frame at the same time to keep the picture completely synchronized; while in the asynchronous mode, the controller 6 allows each display unit 1 to independently receive and display different signal frames to support the display of multiple pictures or multiple contents.

[0034] like Figure 2 As shown, each control box 4 of this embodiment has an input interface 43 and an output interface 44, the controller 6 is electrically connected to the input interface 43 of any control box 4, and the input interfaces 43 of the remaining control boxes 4 are sequentially connected to the output interface 44 of the previous control box 4. That is, a display unit 1 is selected as the first level, and its input interface 43 is connected to the output end of the signal source 5 to receive the picture signal, while the input interface 43 of the display unit 1 adjacent to it is connected to the output interface 44 of the first-level display unit 1, and the subsequent display units 1 are connected in series in sequence, so that the signal can be transmitted from the first display unit 1 to the last display unit 1. A cascade connection relationship is formed, allowing the user to flexibly expand the number of screens as needed without complex wiring or additional signal distribution equipment, and helping to maintain image consistency and synchronization.

[0035] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, each light board module 3 of this embodiment is provided with two first connection ports 31, and the two first connection ports 31 are symmetrically arranged relative to the center line of the light board module 3. The positions of the infrared receiving sensor 22 and the infrared transmitting sensor 21 of the light board module 3 can be switched by plugging different first connection ports 31 into the second connection port 421 of the control board 42.

[0036] like Figure 5As shown, in this embodiment, the back of the housing 41 has a plurality of heat dissipation slots 411, and each heat dissipation slot 411 penetrates the housing 41 and is arranged in parallel in batches. The heat dissipation slots 411 allow air circulation, helping to quickly discharge the heat generated by the control board 42 and other internal components to the external environment. This helps to keep the internal temperature of the control box 4 within a safe working range and prevent performance degradation or hardware damage caused by overheating. The heat dissipation slots 411 arranged in parallel can form an orderly airflow channel to further improve the heat dissipation efficiency.

[0037] In summary, the beneficial effects of this embodiment are as follows: this embodiment sets an infrared emitting sensor 21 and an infrared receiving sensor 22 at the inner corner of the light board module 3 located near the center of the side of the display unit 1, so that an infrared emitting area or an infrared receiving area can be formed at the center of the four sides of each display unit 1, and the transmission characteristics of the infrared signal are used to perform accurate position detection and automatic calibration, so as to significantly improve the installation efficiency of the spliced ​​display screen. And the plug-in connection between the light board module 3 and the control box 4 eliminates the external cable connection mode, which can solve the problem of messy wiring on the rear side of the display unit 1 module.

[0038] The embodiments described above are only preferred implementation modes of the present invention and cannot be used to limit the protection scope of the present invention. Any non-substantial changes and modifications made by those skilled in the art on the basis of the invention shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
