[0024] Referring to Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the X-axis direction is the horizontal direction, and the Y-axis direction is the vertical direction.

[0025] Specifically, the present application provides an optical film 4 fixing structure, which realizes multi-point positioning of the optical film 4 in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction during installation, thereby effectively preventing the optical film 4 from being displaced due to external force during transportation or handling; the limiting protrusion 2 extends upward and is arranged in the limiting hole of the optical film 4, and cooperates with the hanging lug 41 arranged at the edge of the optical film 4 and the positioning groove 12 on the back plate 1 to form a stable space limiting structure, thereby improving the installation stability of the optical film 4. In addition, the limiting protrusion 2 also penetrates the frame 3, and the frame 3 is arranged on the containing cavity 11, so as to be suitable for fixing the optical film 4 in the containing cavity 11. The present application realizes precise positioning and reliable fixing of the optical film 4 through the cooperation of the back plate 1, the limiting protrusion 2 and the frame 3, solves the problem that the optical film 4 is easily displaced during transportation and handling of the liquid crystal module in the prior art, and improves the optical performance stability and anti-vibration ability of the whole machine.

[0026] It can be understood that the positioning groove 12 realizes positioning and installation of the optical film 4, the hanging lug 41 is arranged on the optical film 4, and the position of the hanging lug 41 corresponds to the position of the positioning groove 12, so that during installation, the hanging lug 41 of the optical film 4 corresponds to the positioning groove 12, thereby ensuring that the optical film 4 is installed in the containing groove in a fixed installation direction.

[0027] The limiting hole is arranged at the position of the hanging lug 41 corresponding to the limiting protrusion 2, and the limiting protrusion 2 cooperates with the limiting hole to realize the limitation of the optical film 4 in the horizontal direction, and the frame 3 is arranged above the containing cavity 11, so as to be suitable for limiting the vertical direction of the optical film 4, wherein the limiting protrusion 2 is arranged in the frame 3, so that the frame 3 is tightly matched with the back plate 1, thereby avoiding shaking or falling of the optical film 4 due to the small gap between the frame 3 and the back plate 1.

[0029] In the first aspect embodiment of the present application, the outer edge of the back plate 1 extends upward in the vertical direction to form a containing cavity 11, and the positioning groove 12 is opened from top to bottom.

[0030] Specifically, the outer edge of the back plate 1 extends in the vertical direction to form a closed containing cavity 11, which plays a protective and limiting role in the lateral and vertical directions of the optical film 4, improves the anti-external force performance of the whole structure, and enhances the fixing effect of the optical film 4 in the containing cavity 11. The back plate 1 is integrally formed, reducing splicing, and the vertical extension structure of the side wall helps to realize precise cooperation with the frame 3, preventing offset or installation misplacement when the frame 3 is covered.

[0031] The positioning groove 12 is opened from top to bottom, so that the optical film 4 can be vertically inserted and positioned during installation, effectively simplifying the assembly operation, improving the assembly efficiency, and reducing the difficulty of worker operation and the assembly fault rate. This kind of guiding design can also avoid film scratching or deformation caused by lateral insertion, ensuring the integrity and performance stability of the optical film 4.

[0034] Specifically, the limiting protrusion 2, the limiting hole and the positioning groove 12 are all provided with multiple, and the number of each is consistent, to realize multi-point positioning and uniform stress of the optical film 4, thereby significantly improving the fixing stability and anti-deviation ability of the optical film 4.

[0035] Specifically, the multiple limiting protrusions 2 are used in cooperation with the corresponding limiting holes, so that the optical film 4 can be limited and constrained in multiple directions during installation, effectively avoiding eccentricity, warping or edge loosening problems caused by single-point positioning. At the same time, by keeping the number of the positioning groove 12 consistent with the limiting structure, it can be ensured that the hanging ear part 41 of the optical film 4 is accurately positioned with each positioning component during installation, improving the assembly precision and overall assembly consistency. The symmetrical and equal arrangement also helps to balance the stress of the optical film 4, reduce local deformation caused by factors such as vibration or thermal expansion and contraction, and ensure the long-term stability of its optical performance.

[0036] A plurality of positioning grooves 12 are arranged on one side and spaced apart, which is beneficial to improve the guiding property and operation space when the hanging lug 41 is inserted, avoid interference between adjacent hanging lugs, and improve the overall assembly efficiency and operation convenience.

[0037] In the first aspect of the present application, the positions of the limiting protrusions 2 of the frame 3 are provided with mounting holes 31 from top to bottom, and the frame 3 is buckled with the back plate 1, so that the limiting protrusions 2 are arranged in the mounting holes 31.

[0038] Specifically, the frame 3 is provided with mounting holes 31 from top to bottom at the positions corresponding to the limiting protrusions 2, so that the limiting protrusions 2 can be directly arranged therein, forming an up-down penetrating positioning structure, further strengthening the positioning function of the limiting protrusions 2, avoiding the deviation or deformation of the limiting protrusions 2 due to the compression or lateral stress of the frame 3, and effectively improving the installation stability and vibration resistance of the optical film 4.

[0039] The frame 3 and the back plate 1 are connected in a buckling manner, which is simple in structure and high in assembly efficiency, and can avoid the problems such as complicated process and material waste caused by traditional screw or adhesive connection. At the same time, the buckling structure can realize quick assembly, and is convenient for disassembly and replacement in later period, improving the maintainability and use flexibility of the product.

[0040] It can be understood that the limiting protrusions 2 can be arranged in the mounting holes 31 of the frame 3 after penetrating the limiting holes of the optical film 4, forming a whole penetrating structure cooperatively matched among the back plate 1, the optical film 4 and the frame 3, ensuring the high-precision cooperation and stable connection among them, so as to further inhibit the up-down floating and lateral displacement of the optical film 4 in actual use, and improve the overall impact resistance and optical consistency of the liquid crystal module.

[0041] In the first aspect of the present application, the side wall of the accommodating cavity 11 away from the accommodating cavity 11 is provided with a clamping tongue 13, and the frame 3 is provided with a clamping groove 32 corresponding to the position of the clamping tongue 13, which is suitable for cooperating with the clamping tongue 13. The clamping groove 32 and the clamping tongue 13 are connected in a buckling manner, so that the frame 3 is arranged on the back plate 1 to fix and install the optical film 4.

[0042] In the first aspect of the present application, the clamping tongue 13 and the clamping groove 32 are both provided with a plurality of clamping tongues 13 which are circumferentially and spaced apart along the side wall of the accommodating cavity 11.

[0044] The clamping tongue 13 is arranged on the outer side of the side wall of the accommodating cavity 11 away from the optical film 4, effectively avoiding interference with the body of the optical film 4, and being connected with the clamping groove 32 on the frame 3 through elastic buckling, which is simple in structure and easy to process. In addition, it can also realize quick assembly and disassembly operation, improve production efficiency and reduce maintenance cost.

[0045] The clamping buckle connection also has certain buffering performance. When subjected to external force impact or vibration, it can absorb part of the stress through slight deformation, avoid structure loosening or damage, and further improve the fixing reliability and shock resistance of the optical film 4 in the module.

[0046] It can be understood that the clamping tongue 13 and the clamping groove 32 are both provided with a plurality of clamping tongues 13, and the plurality of clamping tongues 13 are arranged in a circumferential interval along the side wall of the accommodating cavity 11, so that the overall locking strength and anti-deformation ability are improved. The interval arrangement of the plurality of clamping tongues 13 helps to disperse stress concentration, avoid deformation or connection failure caused by excessive local stress, and also improves the overall anti-pulling and anti-rotation ability of the structure, so that a stable and firm connection interface is formed between the frame 3 and the back plate 1.

[0047] In the first aspect of the present application, at least one side wall of the accommodating cavity 11 is provided with a blocking part 14 extending towards the horizontal direction of the accommodating cavity 11, the blocking part 14 is located above the optical film 4 and is suitable for being pressed on the upper surface of the optical film 4, and the blocking part 14 and the positioning groove 12 are located on the adjacent two sides.

[0048] Specifically, by arranging the blocking part 14 extending towards the horizontal direction of the accommodating cavity 11 on at least one side wall of the accommodating cavity 11, and arranging the blocking part 14 and the positioning groove 12 on the adjacent two sides, the limiting and protecting ability of the optical film 4 is further enhanced, and the overall anti-deviation performance is improved.

[0049] The blocking part 14 as an auxiliary limiting structure extends towards the horizontal direction of the accommodating cavity 11 to press one side of the optical film 4 in the accommodating cavity 11, thereby effectively preventing the optical film 4 from being displaced due to lateral shaking, transportation vibration or assembly deviation. The arrangement of the blocking part 14 and the positioning groove 12 on the adjacent two sides forms clamping of the optical film 4, enhances the fixing effect of the optical film 4 through mechanical fitting, and makes the optical film 4 more stable in the accommodating cavity 11 and not easy to shake or fall off.

[0050] It can be understood that the blocking part 14 has reasonable structure design and is simple to process, without the need to increase additional parts or complex assembly process, so as to significantly improve the stability and reliability of the overall structure, reduce the risk of optical performance decline of the module due to deviation of the optical film 4, and be suitable for liquid crystal module devices with high requirements for shock resistance and structural precision.

[0051] In the first aspect of the present application, the back plate 1 is provided with a heat dissipation groove 15, which is in communication with the accommodating cavity 11.

[0052] Specifically, the heat dissipation groove 15 is in communication with the accommodating cavity 11, thereby effectively improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the optical film 4 and its peripheral elements during use without adding additional heat dissipation devices, and enhancing the thermal stability and reliability of the overall structure.

[0053] The heat dissipation groove 15 is arranged on the back plate 1 and is in communication with the accommodating cavity 11 to form a heat dissipation gap on the lower surface of the optical module, which is conducive to heat diffusion.
