Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a novel outdoor protective structure and a protective method for a small-pitch display screen, belonging to the technical field of outdoor display screens. Background Art

[0002] At present, most outdoor LED screens use silicone potting to achieve IP65 protection level. However, in special application environments, such as when water continues to flow over the surface of the screen or the screen is soaked in water, conventional silicone has a water absorption rate of about 10%. After a period of time, water vapor will invade the LED circuit board, causing the screen to appear partially flowery or black, affecting the normal use of the screen. Therefore, the silicone protection method is not suitable for screens under special use conditions. Subsequently, display screen products using GOB protection method appeared. Although epoxy resin has good waterproof properties, it still has a certain water absorption rate, and the water absorption rate is usually 0.1% to 0.5%. Because epoxy resin is a macromolecular structure, the gap between molecules is large, and water molecules will slowly penetrate after long-term immersion, so it does not have the protection ability of long-term immersion in water. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this section is to summarize some aspects of the embodiments of the utility model and briefly introduce some preferred embodiments. Some simplifications or omissions may be made in this section and the specification abstract and utility model name of this application to avoid blurring the purpose of this section, specification abstract and utility model name, and such simplifications or omissions cannot be used to limit the scope of the utility model.

[0004] In view of the following technical problems in the prior art: although epoxy resin has good waterproof properties, it still has a certain water absorption rate, and the water absorption rate is usually 0.1% to 0.5%. Because epoxy resin has a large molecular structure and the gaps between molecules are large, water molecules will slowly penetrate after being soaked for a long time, so it does not have the ability to protect against long-term soaking in water.

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model provides the following technical solutions: a novel outdoor protective structure for a small-pitch display screen, comprising a plastic shell and an LED circuit board, wherein the LED circuit board is arranged in the plastic shell, an L-shaped groove is provided on the plastic shell, a resin layer is poured in the L-shaped groove, and a coating layer is provided on the resin layer.

[0006] As a preferred technical solution for a novel outdoor protective structure of a small-pitch display screen, a wave rib is provided at the bottom of the L-shaped groove.

[0007] As a preferred technical solution for an outdoor protective structure of a novel small-pitch display screen, the coating layer is made of parylene material, and the resin layer is made of epoxy resin material.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution for a novel outdoor protective structure of a small-pitch display screen, the plastic shell includes a square shell body, a square groove is opened in the middle of the square shell body, and a plurality of horizontal strips and vertical strips are arranged in the square groove.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution for a novel outdoor protective structure of a small-pitch display screen, the L-shaped groove is arranged on the side of the square shell body close to the LED circuit board, and a square sealing ring is arranged on the side of the square shell body away from the LED circuit board.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution for a novel outdoor protective structure of a small-pitch display screen, the square groove is filled with a silicone layer.

[0011] It can be seen from the above technical solution that the utility model has at least the following advantages and positive effects:

[0012] 1. The plastic shell is grooved and provided with wavy ribs around it, which can increase the firmness of the connection between the epoxy resin and the shell, and at the same time slow down the speed of water vapor intrusion from the gap between the shell and the epoxy resin, making it more difficult for water vapor to intrude into the LED circuit board;

[0013] 2. The epoxy resin completely wraps the front, sides, bottom and surrounding of the LED circuit board, and finally performs a coating process. The film thickness is 25um, which is 5 times the conventional film thickness, and solves the color difference problem caused by the increase in film thickness;

[0014] 3. The molecular structure of epoxy resin is large, while the molecular structure of the membrane material parylene is small. A layer of membrane is attached on the epoxy resin. The membrane layer is deposited by countless layers of nanostructured monomers and there are strong molecular bonds between the membrane layers, which can form a high-density protective layer, solving the problem of water molecule penetration in the large molecular structure of epoxy resin;

[0015] 4. The display screen products produced by the above protection method can still be used normally without abnormal phenomena after being immersed in water with a concentration of 5% industrial salt for 90 days. Therefore, the products produced by this protection method can meet the IPX7 protection level and can be used normally in environmental conditions of long-term immersion in water.

The LED circuit board 2 is arranged in the plastic shell 1. The plastic shell 1 includes a square shell body 11. A square groove 12 is opened in the middle of the square shell body 11. A plurality of horizontal long strips 13 and vertical long strips 14 are arranged in the square groove 12. The L-shaped groove 3 is arranged on the side of the square shell body 11 close to the LED circuit board 2. The square groove 12 is filled with a silicone layer 8.
