Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of panel technology, and more specifically to a display panel assembly with a spring that is not easily dislodged. Background Technology

[0002] In existing display panel assemblies, the panel assembly needs to be tightly attached to the glass panel for clear text display. To ensure this, springs are used to press the panel assembly against the glass. Current technology involves mounting multiple springs onto corresponding spacers, then installing both onto the PCBA board before assembling it with the main support. The drawbacks of this solution are: the installation of springs and spacers is difficult and costly; each spacer needs to be snapped into the main support, and since spacers are prone to movement, alignment is difficult, resulting in low production efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a display panel assembly with springs that are less prone to detachment. The main problem it solves is that existing display panel assemblies suffer from difficulties in assembling springs and spacers, resulting in high costs; each spacer needs to be snapped into place with the main support frame, and the spacers are prone to wobbling, making alignment difficult and leading to low production efficiency.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention is implemented through the following technical solution:

[0005] A display panel assembly with springs that are not easily detached includes a glass panel, a panel assembly, and a main support. The panel assembly includes a PCBA board and a reflector covering the PCBA board. The glass panel and the main support are connected and fixed to each other at intervals by glass panel fasteners. The panel assembly is placed in the space between the glass panel and the main support. A number of springs are provided between the PCBA board and the main support for keeping the reflector of the panel assembly in close contact with the glass panel. Each spring includes a spring body and an elastic snap-fit ​​connector at the upper end of the spring body. A number of snap-fit ​​holes are provided on the PCBA board. The elastic snap-fit ​​connectors of each spring are correspondingly snapped and fixed to the snap-fit ​​holes on the PCBA board, and the lower end of each spring body elastically abuts against the main support.

[0006] Furthermore, the upper and lower ends of the glass panel fastener are respectively formed with an upper connecting ear plate and a lower connecting ear plate. The upper connecting ear plate is fixedly connected to the glass panel by adhesive, and the lower connecting ear plate is locked to the main body bracket by screws.

[0007] Furthermore, a glass panel fastener is installed between the glass panel and each of the two sides of the main support.

[0008] Furthermore, several reflector clips are distributed on the reflector, and the reflector is connected and fixed together with the PCBA board clips through the reflector clips.

[0009] Furthermore, the reflector is provided with a downward-extending elastic buckle, the PCBA board has a through hole, and the main support has a limiting hole. After the elastic buckle passes through the through hole, it engages with the limiting hole of the main support to prevent the panel assembly from being excessively lifted by the spring and detached from the main support.

[0010] Furthermore, the reflector is equipped with two elastic clips.

[0011] Furthermore, the main body of the spring is a tower-shaped spring structure that is larger at the top and smaller at the bottom.

[0012] Furthermore, the elastic snap connector and the spring body are integrally bent and formed.

[0013] Furthermore, the flexible snap-fit ​​connector includes a snap-fit ​​portion for snap-fitting with snap-fit ​​holes on the PCBA board, and a guide portion is formed at the upper end of the snap-fit ​​portion.

[0014] Furthermore, the flexible snap-fit ​​connector includes a first straight section, a first vertical section, a first folded section, a first inclined guide section, a second inclined guide section, a second folded section, a second vertical section, and a horizontally positioned end free section connected in sequence. The first straight section, the first vertical section, and the first folded section form a left half snap-fit ​​structure, and the second folded section, the second vertical section, and the horizontally positioned end free section form a right half snap-fit ​​structure. The left half snap-fit ​​structure and the right half snap-fit ​​structure cooperate with each other to form a snap-fit ​​part that matches the snap-fit ​​hole of the PCBA board. The first inclined guide section and the second inclined guide section cooperate with each other to form a guide part that can be elastically retracted.

[0015] Furthermore, the flexible snap-fit ​​connector is circularly curved, and its end is a free end structure that can be bent and deformed under pressure.

[0016] The above technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects:

[0017] In the display panel assembly with springs that are not easily detached as described in this invention, the glass panel and the main support are connected and fixed to each other at intervals by glass panel fixing components. The spring component includes a spring body and an elastic snap-fit ​​connector located at the upper end of the spring body. The elastic snap-fit ​​connector allows the upper end of the spring component to snap and fix to the snap-fit ​​hole of the PCBA board, and the lower end of the spring body directly and elastically abuts against the main support. In this way, the panel assembly can be stably pressed against the glass panel without the need for a spacer structure. At the same time, eliminating the use of spacers saves production costs and simplifies the assembly process. It eliminates the problems of difficult assembly of spring components and spacers, and difficulty in aligning spacers with the panel assembly and the main support, effectively improving assembly efficiency.

[0030] Please refer to the appendix. Figure 1 To be continued Figure 3In one preferred embodiment, a glass panel fastener 4 is installed between each of the two sides of the glass panel 1 and the main support 3. However, those skilled in the art should understand that in other embodiments, other numbers of glass panel fasteners 4 may be provided between the glass panel 1 and the main support 3, and the embodiment is not limited to the specific implementation disclosed herein, as long as it can improve the stability of the gap connection between the glass panel 1 and the main support 3.

[0031] Please refer to the appendix. Figure 1 To be continued Figure 3 In one preferred embodiment, a plurality of reflector clips 221 are distributed on the reflector 22, and the reflector 22 is fastened together with the PCBA board 21 by means of the reflector clips 221.

[0032] Please refer to the appendix. Figure 1 To be continued Figure 3 In one preferred embodiment, the reflector 22 is provided with a downwardly extending elastic buckle 222, the PCBA board 21 has a through hole 212, and the main support 3 has a limiting hole 31. The elastic buckle 222 passes through the through hole 212 and engages with the limiting hole 31 of the main support 3 to prevent the panel assembly 2 from being excessively lifted by the spring 5 and detaching from the main support 3. Preferably, the reflector 22 is provided with two elastic buckles 222.

[0033] Please refer to the appendix. Figure 1 To be continued Figure 3 In one preferred embodiment, the spring body 51 is a tower-shaped spring structure that is larger at the top and smaller at the bottom. Preferably, the elastic snap-fit ​​connector 52 and the spring body 51 are integrally bent and formed.

[0034] Please refer to the appendix. Figure 1 To be continued Figure 3In one preferred embodiment, the elastic snap-fit ​​connector 52 includes a snap-fit ​​portion for snap-fitting with the snap-fit ​​hole 211 of the PCBA board 21, and a guide portion is formed at the upper end of the snap-fit ​​portion. Preferably, the elastic snap-fit ​​connector 52 includes a first straight section 521, a first vertical section 522, a first folded section 523, a first inclined guide section 524, a second inclined guide section 525, a second folded section 526, a second vertical section 527, and a horizontally arranged end free section 528 connected in sequence. The first straight section 521, the first vertical section 522, and the first folded section 523 form a left half snap-fit ​​structure, and the second folded section 526, the second vertical section 527, and the horizontally arranged end free section 528 form a right half snap-fit ​​structure.
